Chapter 6 Leaving the Sect
Chapter 6 Leaving the Sect
After tidying up, Su Luo put everything she could take from the cave into her storage bag, leaving not even a straw mat for the other party.
Finally, after glancing at the empty cave, Su Luo opened the stone door and walked out of the cave without looking back.
Target: the main peak.
The entire Luoxia Peak is protected by an array, so those below the Nascent Soul stage cannot fly on swords and must walk up.
When Su Luo found out, she complained bitterly: "Doesn't that mean that only Qing Ya Zi can fly on a sword? He's just showing off again."
At that moment, she looked at the houses hidden among the clouds in the distance, took a deep breath, and strode towards the summit.
Just treat it like hiking...
The original owner of this body, including Su Luo, had only been to the residence of this cheap master, Qing Ya Zi, twice: once when Qing Ya Zi brought her back to become his disciple, and once when Qing Ya Zi accepted Qin Xiu as his apprentice. Fortunately, she still remembered it somewhat, so she didn't go to the wrong place.
Half an hour later, Su Luo, panting, climbed to the top of the mountain, arrived in front of the ancient house, cupped her hands and called out.
"Master, I have something I want to discuss with you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door creaked open, and a cold, emotionless voice came from inside.
"Enter."
Su Luo strode in and immediately saw a young man sitting upright in the room, dressed in white with a cold expression.
He was looking down at the ancient book in his hands, and even when he heard her come in, he didn't look up, but just asked indifferently.
"What do you want with me?"
Su Luo stared at Qing Ya Zi for a few more moments, a dark light flashing in her eyes.
Whether it was the original owner of this body or her past life, this cheap master never cared about her. His only concern was cultivation, and his only tenderness and appreciation were reserved for Ning Wanshuang. If Ning Wanshuang hadn't already had her own master, he would definitely have taken her as his disciple.
But it doesn't matter. If this place doesn't want me, there are plenty of other places that will. She doesn't care about this master.
So, Su Luo quickly looked away, knelt down with a "whoosh," and spoke each word with force and conviction.
"This disciple requests to leave Tianyi Sect and break away from Master's tutelage. I beg Master to grant my request."
Upon hearing this, the room fell into an immediate, deathly silence, and the air seemed to freeze.
Qingya Zi stopped reading and slowly raised his head, frowning as he stared at Su Luo, his tone cold.
What nonsense are you talking about?
Su Luo rolled her eyes inwardly.
What a load of nonsense! You think you're so desirable that no one wants to leave you?
Of course, Su Luo didn't dare to show it on her face. Instead, she lowered her head and pretended to be sad and disappointed.
“Master, I’m not being foolish. It’s my good fortune to have your teachings, but I’m ultimately not talented enough and lack the strength to set an example for the other disciples. I’m aware of this, and rather than occupying this position and bringing shame to you, I’d rather leave on my own.”
Qingya Zi fell silent for a moment, then asked, as if he had thought of something, "Did you come because of what happened yesterday?"
"What?" Su Luo looked up, somewhat puzzled.
Why bring up yesterday's events all of a sudden?
But this behavior made Qingya Zi think that he had indeed guessed correctly. So he put down his book, stood up, and stared at Su Luo with an imposing aura, his eyes as cold as ice.
"I heard you gave the Spirit-Enhancing Grass to Shuang'er yesterday, and I thought you had finally grown up. If you didn't want it, why did you give it to her? Now you regret it and come to me. How can a person go back on their word?"
Su Luo blinked, finally realizing that he thought she was there to complain.
A surge of anger welled up in Su Luo's chest, and she wanted nothing more than to stand up immediately and give him a good thrashing.
Even though she was just a disciple, Qingya Zi not only didn't care about her at all, but also misunderstood her without even thinking of her when something happened, always assuming the worst about her! How could such a person be a teacher? She spit on him!
If she weren't so weak, she would have loved to kick them hard!
I can't stand this awful place any longer! And all these idiots, we have to stay away from them!
But no! If she really confronted him, she would be slapped away by Qing Ya Zi! In her previous life, she couldn't stand Qing Ya Zi and said a few words, which resulted in him enraging her and slapping her away, causing her internal injuries to take half a month to heal.
Right now, all she wants is to leave Tianyi Sect. It's best to avoid trouble and just stay put.
After taking a few deep breaths, Su Luo silently repeated "Don't be angry" to herself before quickly explaining.
“Master, you misunderstand. I gave the Spirit Enhancement Grass to Junior Sister Ning voluntarily; she truly needed it more than I did! I'm not here to complain or whine! I just reflected on my actions and realized I truly lack the talent for cultivation. Rather than spending my entire life in the Tianyi Sect without making any progress and causing dissatisfaction among everyone, I'd rather go out and see the world. Perhaps a change in mindset might help improve my cultivation…”
As she spoke, Su Luo raised her hand to cover her face and subtly wiped her eyes with her index finger, instantly producing clear tears.
She closed her eyes briefly, her voice heavy with sorrow.
“Master, cultivation is about talent and fate. I’ve been in Tianyi Sect for so long, but my cultivation has progressed slowly and my temperament is not good. I always feel that I am not destined for Tianyi Sect.”
Qingya Zi stared at Su Luo, who was bowing her head and weeping pitifully. He remained silent for a long time, and the coldness in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a look of realization.
He only took this disciple in to complete the cause and effect, but she lacked talent, so he didn't care much about her. Over the years, he had heard some rumors about her, but he was too lazy to care. To him, Su Luo's little problems were not worth mentioning.
He was very busy, busy with cultivation and breakthroughs. As the youngest Nascent Soul cultivator in the cultivation world, he had many people closely following him. How could he possibly have time for anything else?
But he never expected that this disciple would take the initiative to come and say that he wanted to leave the Tianyi Sect.
He had initially thought it was just a momentary outburst, but now, seeing her earnestly analyzing her inner thoughts and bursting into tears, which seemed genuine, Qingya Zi finally confronted the topic.
It seems his disciple is truly planning to leave.
After thinking for a moment, Qingya Zi still tried to persuade him to stay: "Are you sure you want to leave Tianyi Sect? Even if your cultivation level is not high, I will not drive you away. After all, your family members are my benefactors."
Su Luo nodded firmly, revealing a sorrowful expression, and then sniffled.
“I want to go home and visit. Although I've severed ties with the mortal world after embarking on my spiritual practice, I still miss my family. I've been away from my parents for over ten years now, and I wonder how they are doing…”
Wow, the onions in the cultivation world are definitely spicier than those in the real world...
Seeing Su Luo so heartbroken yet still speaking with such a firm tone, Qing Ya Zi naturally did not try to stop her any longer.
"Since you have made up your mind, I will not insist any longer. From this day forward, our master-disciple relationship is over. I will send someone to inform the sect leader later and ask him to give you some high-grade spirit stones as compensation. Even if you leave the sect, I can ensure that you will have a worry-free life."
Su Luo quickly kowtowed to Qing Ya Zi, "Thank you, Master."
This collision severed her master-disciple relationship with Qingya Zi, and from then on, she had no further connection with the Tianyi Sect!
With these thoughts in mind, Su Luo slowly stood up, preparing to leave.
"and many more."
Seeing the girl turn around and walk away without looking back, Qingya Zi thought for a moment and then called her back.
Su Luo's expression froze. Was this guy going to back out?
She quickly composed herself, turning back with a sorrowful expression.
“…Master?”
Qingya Zi opened his right hand, and a silver bracelet-like object appeared out of thin air in his hand, which he then handed to Su Luo.
"This is a protective ring, which can be used as a protective magic weapon. Wearing it can withstand three full-force attacks from a Golden Core cultivator. Since we are master and disciple, I'll give this to you."
Su Luo's eyes lit up, and she quickly turned around to take it.
This magical artifact is quite rare; it can actually withstand three strikes from a Golden Core cultivator! With spirit stones and a magical artifact, Qingya Zi isn't exactly stingy after all!
"Thank you very much."
Su Luo thanked Qing Ya Zi softly, then turned and left without hesitation for a second.
Qingya Zi: "..."
Why does she seem so impatient? Oh well, why think so much? Their master-disciple relationship is severed; they probably won't see each other again in this lifetime.
Qingya shook his head to stop thinking about it, and then sat down to read again.
Su Luo put the protective ring into her storage bag and walked out of the house. After walking a long way, she took out a towel and wiped the corner of her eyes.
The wild onions she found along the way were really potent; the stench made her eyes water uncontrollably.
