Chapter 5: Conditions for Leaving the Sect

Xiao Yang actually asked the Sect Leader to expel him from the sect?

The three bigwigs of the Qingyang Sword Sect were dumbfounded.

Little Junior Sister Jiang Ting was completely lost.

Qin Fei was also taken aback.

“Senior Brother, have you lost your mind! You’re the one who made the mistake, and here you are causing a scene. You’ve really disappointed me,” Jiang Ting exclaimed angrily.

“Xiao Yang, if it weren’t for the sect pouring all its resources into cultivating you, do you really think you could achieve what you have now?”

“That’s right, without the sect’s support, you’d be nothing.”

Law Enforcement Elder Lei Lie and Transmission Elder Cang Xiao were furious.

The sect had worked hard to train you and provide you with all the cultivation resources, and instead of thinking about how to repay the sect, you want to just pack up and leave?

Is there really anything so easy in this world?

“Master, I truly have no face to stay in the sect anymore, please expel me!” Xiao Yang said resolutely.

“What nonsense is this!”

The Sect Leader Jiang Qitian hit the armrest of his throne with a slam, shattering it.

“All of you, get out! I need to scold this ungrateful disciple in private!”

Jiang Qitian’s eyes shot like lightning at Xiao Yang, a terrifying pressure enveloping the entire hall.

Everyone’s face changed.

At that moment, Qin Fei couldn’t help but feel elated; Xiao Yang was practically digging his own grave!

Even though Xiao Yang had hurt him badly, taking him down would be worth it.

The Law Enforcement Elder and Transmission Elder stepped back.

Two enforcement disciples came forward to lift Qin Fei down.

“Dad…”

Jiang Ting hesitated.

“Get out!”

Jiang Qitian shouted harshly.

Jiang Ting was startled; her father rarely raised his voice at her. She shot a cold glance at the kneeling Xiao Yang and exited the hall.

The door of the hall slowly closed.

“Xiao Yang, explain why you’re doing this!” Jiang Qitian said calmly.

He had watched Xiao Yang grow up and knew his top disciple very well. Xiao Yang’s behavior over the past few days had been far too unusual, as if he had become a different person.

“The world is so big, I want to go out and see it,” Xiao Yang said calmly.

“Nonsense, do you think I’ll believe that?” Jiang Qitian was angry, even now, Xiao Yang was trying to fool him. Had he treated him poorly?

He was his first disciple, like a son, the Holy Son of the sect, destined to inherit his position.

Xiao Yang abruptly looked up at his master on the throne.

“I can leave, but you can only choose one of us to stay: me or Qin Fei.”

Even though Xiao Yang’s heart had become cold in this life, he still held a flicker of hope. If his master expelled Qin Fei, then the tragedy of his last life would not happen.

This was his last chance for the Qingyang Sword Sect.

However, Jiang Qitian immediately rebuked him, “Why are you always targeting Qin Fei? As the Senior Brother, where is your generosity? When did you become so narrow-minded?”

Still scolding him.

Until this moment, Xiao Yang truly felt hopeless.

It was just like in his previous life; whether it was Little Junior Sister or Master Jiang Qitian, they were all blaming him and protecting Qin Fei.

They would always side with Qin Fei, saying he was orphaned, that his background was pitiful, that he was all alone in the world and needed help, support, and love.

Since Qin Fei joined the sect, neither Master nor Little Junior Sister, not even his parents or sister, had ever chosen him.

No one cared about his feelings anymore.

How boring.

Jiang Qitian was still criticizing Xiao Yang: “You’re so lacking in tolerance, how will you inherit my position in the future? Are you jealous of Qin Fei because of his talent? Are you afraid he might take your place?”

Xiao Yang was stunned; he sighed inwardly, realizing that his master had long predicted that Qin Fei would replace him.

In his previous life, he had battled Qin Fei for a thousand years, losing everything that belonged to him, bit by bit, to Qin Fei.

“Master, since you know this, then let me go!” Xiao Yang said firmly.

“Impossible! You’re a member of the Qingyang Sword Sect in life, and you’ll be a ghost of the Qingyang Sword Sect in death. You will never leave my sect in this life.”

Jiang Qitian pronounced coldly.

“You won’t let your disciple go, yet you’re actually concerned about the competition, aren’t you?” Xiao Yang suddenly said.

“What…?”

Jiang Qitian was taken aback.

“The Great Competition of the Martial World occurs once every sixty years among the major sects in the Northern Region. It’s a significant event for redistributing power and resources among the sects and relates to their rise or fall.”

“And now, only I can represent the sect to compete. Only if I perform well can I bring back numerous resources for the sect. Don’t you agree with your disciple?”

Xiao Yang slowly stood up and quietly looked at Jiang Qitian.

“You…”

Jiang Qitian was shocked and furious at the same time.

“Master, let’s do this: If I win first place in the Northern Region competition, will you let me leave the Qingyang Sword Sect?”

Xiao Yang looked seriously at Jiang Qitian.

In his previous life, in order to help Little Junior Sister Jiang Ting improve her cultivation, when he learned that the first prize in the Great Competition included a Breaking Realm Dan, he locked himself away for six months and trained like mad,

In the final competition, he fought for three days and nights against the Holy Maiden Li Xingyao of the Fuyiao Sword Sect, narrowly winning by sacrificing his own life.

However, little did he know that the Breaking Realm Dan he fought so hard for, Little Junior Sister immediately gave to Qin Fei once she turned around.

What he struggled to obtain, Qin Fei only needed to say a word and it was given away.

In his previous life, he had a huge fight with Little Junior Sister over this matter, but she never cared about his feelings.

“It’s just a Breaking Realm Dan. If you can get one, you can get a second…”

“Don’t be so stingy; the little junior brother is about to break through, let him use this one first, what’s wrong with that?”

In the previous life, every single word from Little Junior Sister Jiang Ting felt like a sharp dagger piercing through his heart.

Yet, in that life, he was like an incredibly loyal dog to her, forgiving her every time she acted cute.

Looking back now, he felt that he was too much of a pushover then.

But in this new life, he was determined to win the title in the competition, and the Breaking Realm Dan would be for him alone.

“Haha…”

At that moment, Jiang Qitian’s laughter echoed in the hall.

“You want to win first in the competition? Are you joking? Keep in mind that the best result Qingyang Sword Sect has ever achieved in a millennium is third place, and the last time we only got seventh—do you think you can get first?

“Haha…”

As Jiang Qitian laughed again,

“What if I can win first?” Xiao Yang looked at Master Jiang Qitian very seriously.

“Alright, if you can win first in the competition, not only will I agree to let you leave the Qingyang Sword Sect, I will personally hold a banquet to send you off.”

Jiang Qitian accepted directly, thinking that Xiao Yang was just being reckless and overestimating his abilities.

Xiao Yang was definitely not going to succeed.
