Chapter 510: Chapter 22: Competing for the Great Celestial Pride! Who can win? (Seeking monthly votes)_3

What brings joy is that the Celestial Pride disciple has become a Great Celestial Pride disciple, yet worry stems from the fact that the disciple was offended before even entering the sect.

No, this must be handled properly at this moment.

He immediately reprimanded, "Shang Jiping, even if you had doubts about the origin of that child’s cultivation technique, you shouldn’t have acted so harshly! Can’t you just inquire properly?"

"Master, this was my mistake," Shang Jiping bowed and apologized.

Yuan Shui Ascendant then switched to a kindly expression and looked at Wang Liyao: "Liyao, this was all a misunderstanding. As for Elder Shang, Master will certainly chastise him severely. Tell me, how would you like him to compensate you? Master will make sure to support you."

Who would have thought.

Wang Liyao pouted, huffed, and turned her head away, evidently unwilling to speak or explain and argue with Yuan Shui Ascendant.

Yuan Shui Ascendant thought she was acting childishly; he, a dignified Ascendant, had opened his mouth to apologize, yet she carried on with airs? A trace of displeasure passed through his mind, but he still prepared to persuade her with patience, knowing that she was a Great Celestial Pride disciple—a super disciple he might never encounter in his lifetime.

Suddenly!

Lu Xianghui burst out from the crowd, kneeled abruptly before Yuan Shui Ascendant, though fear gripped him, he declared boldly, "Reporting to Ascendant, the circumstances are not as Elder Shang described. Here’s what happened..."

He then narrated the entire incident truthfully, neither favoring Wang Liyao nor Shang Lexian and Elder Shang.

"Junior sister, no, Miss Liyao acted only to prevent a disciple from being bullied, I urge Ascendant to see clearly," Lu Xianghui repeatedly kowtowed, "If Ascendant doubts me, there are many disciples at the scene who can testify."

Wang Shouzhe and Wang Longyan’s faces grew darker, that Elder Shang was truly pushing his limits! To protect his lineage, he relentlessly made things difficult for Liyao; had Liyao not had some skills, she would’ve suffered this misfortune before they arrived.

Yuan Shui Ascendant’s face also became increasingly grim; if the ordinary disciple’s words were true, didn’t that mean Yuan Water Lineage had been the vile villain, offending his future Great Celestial Pride treasured disciple terribly?

Just as he was about to speak.

Wang Shouzhe spoke first, cupping his hands, "Reporting to Ascendant, in my view, this matter should be let go now, no need to delve into who’s right or wrong."

Yuan Shui Ascendant’s expression relaxed slightly: "Thank you for your magnanimity, Shouzhe, but rest assured. I will certainly give Liyao a proper explanation on this matter."

"No, what I mean is, the agreement for my daughter to apprentice under Ascendant should be nullified," Wang Shouzhe cupped his hands, "Previously, my daughter came early to see Yuan Water Lineage, but didn’t expect to encounter such vile events, which likely left her with a psychological shadow. She’s also expressed not wanting to join Yuan Water Lineage anymore. Therefore, there’s no point in pursuing this matter further."

"This..." Yuan Shui Ascendant grew anxious, "Shouzhe, nephew, how can you change agreed matters so easily? Moreover, Liyao has already practiced our Yuan Water Lineage’s cultivation technique! We should still discuss this further."

"Ascendant!"

Wang Shouzhe, though his demeanor remained respectful, his tone turned increasingly assertive, "Despite the agreement, the atmosphere of Yuan Water Lineage is concerning indeed. As the saying goes, a glimpse reveals all, and such matters of bullying disciples aren’t new. Under such a learning environment, how could I, as a father, push my child into the ’fire pit’?"

Fire pit?

Yuan Shui Ascendant almost choked in surprise, having lived over six hundred years, he naturally discerned Wang Shouzhe’s true meaning. Though he claimed not to care, he clearly did greatly.

The hidden meaning was clear: if the resolution didn’t satisfy them...

But regardless, Elder Shang was once his core disciple, bearing much responsibility for Yuan Water Lineage regularly, and momentarily, he found himself hesitant to act harshly.

In this flicker of hesitation from Yuan Shui Ascendant, Wang Shouzhe had already shaken his head and sighed: "A slight probe, and I sense Ascendant is kind-hearted and gentle. The current atmosphere of Yuan Water Lineage might largely result from Ascendant’s good nature and reluctance to manage affairs meticulously."

"Yuan Shui Ascendant, forgive my bluntness, though my status is low, I lead a family and understand that rules are essential! The current atmosphere of Yuan Water Lineage is closely linked to Ascendant’s gentle and carefree character."

"My daughter, Liyao, likely doesn’t fit your lineage’s style." At this point, Wang Shouzhe felt certain that Yuan Water Lineage did not suit Liyao nor align with her personality, decisively refusing, "As for Liyao having learned Yuan Water Lineage’s cultivation technique, we can’t make her forget. How about this: I’ll take Liyao to check out Lingyun Sacred Land, since Purple Mansion Academy is a branch of Saint Land’s heritage... it wouldn’t be breaching the rules for Liyao."

Yuan Shui Ascendant almost choked again, what? The Celestial Pride direct disciple he had anticipated for so many years just flew away like that? Even with his gentle and non-competitive nature, he found himself harboring immense resentment towards Elder Shang at this moment.

"Thank you, dad." Wang Liyao’s eyes sparkled with emotion, gratefully gazing at her father. How lucky she was to have such a doting father. Even when she refrained from entering the Academy, he supported her wholeheartedly, unafraid of offending the Ascendant.

"Since you don’t wish for it, dad certainly won’t force you," Wang Shouzhe lovingly tousled her hair, "But next, let’s hurry together to Daqian’s capital, then sign up at Lingyun Sacred Land. Dad believes, with your talent, Lingyun Sacred Land will definitely accept you!"
