Chapter 214 Returning to Tian Ce Palace
Because of what happened at the Namo Ke Ling Stone Treasury yesterday, Bai Ke is now quite wealthy. He generously took out a high-grade spirit stone and placed it in the slot in the Lingyun Ferry control room.
Sure enough, the Lingyun Ferry was effective; in less than an hour, everyone returned to Tian Ce Palace.
At this moment, in the main hall of the Tian Ce Palace sect, Sect Leader Ning Fengyi and all the elders had arrived. Ning Fengyi sat at the head of the table, a faint smile on her face, looking at everyone.
Su Anqing sat next to Ning Fengyi, their expressions similar. Bai Yan, on the other hand, maintained his icy demeanor, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
Compared to Bai Yan's composure, Murong Yuanyang, sitting next to him, seemed quite agitated. He kept fidgeting in his chair, unable to sit still, and craned his neck to look at the door, waiting for Bai Ke and the others.
Next up is Elder Xing Jian, Lin Xiu's father. He sat in his chair with a sour face, looking like he didn't like anyone.
It seems he already knew about Lin Xiu's performance in this trial, hence his grim expression. As for why he already knew, that would be a question for the elder who had been participating in the trial.
The elder must have informed him in advance about Lin Xiu's performance during this training. Moreover, it was because the elder had been entrusted by Lin Xiu's father before his departure and received some benefits that he took extra care of and helped Lin Xiu during this training.
He had done what he could, and he had helped as much as he could. But that was all. He was willing to help, but he didn't have the guts to lie about the results of his investigation.
In this situation, the only one to blame is Lin Xiu for being so disappointing, which allowed Bai Ke to outmaneuver him in every way.
Just then, a voice rang out from the entrance of the hall, "The elders, the senior brother, and senior brother Lin Xiu have returned!"
These words immediately caused an uproar among the onlookers, who began to murmur and chatter.
When the disciples heard that their senior brother had returned, almost all of them rushed to the sect's main hall to greet him, and Ling Xin'er was among them.
Hearing that they had returned, he quickly followed the others and looked towards the entrance of the main hall.
The elder led the way, followed by Bai Ke, Lin Xiu, and the disciples who had participated in this training. Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the hall, they entered and approached the sect leader, Ning Fengyi, bowing in unison.
"Reporting to the Sect Leader, all the disciples who participated in this training have returned to the palace safely. We have come to request your instructions!"
Ning Fengyi laughed and said to the disciples who participated in the training, "Haha, not bad, not bad! Your elders have already reported to me on the progress of your training."
I know everyone did very well, especially your senior brother Bai Ke. I heard he made quite a contribution during this training!"
"Reporting to the sect leader, we owe a great deal to our senior brother for taking care of us during this training trip. He was always the first to step forward whenever something happened, showing great responsibility and setting a good example for us."
Moreover, our senior brother is meticulous and magnanimous, truly worthy of being the chief disciple of our Tian Ce Palace. Throughout this journey, all the disciples have held our senior brother in high esteem! The one speaking was Da Chuan.
The other disciples all nodded in agreement upon hearing this. Of course, except for Lin Xiu and Ling Feng. Lin Xiu, upon hearing Da Chuan's words, curled his lip in disdain.
Ling Feng, standing beside him, kept his head down, his face dark and unreadable.
Murong Yuanyang was so happy to hear Bai Ke's praise that his eyes almost disappeared, as if he were seeing his own son succeed. Bai Ke's real father also looked gratified.
"Haha, really? It seems... Bai Ke, you did even better than I knew you would in this training. Look, after just one trip, these disciples are clearly completely convinced of your abilities!" Ning Fengyi said with a smile.
Bai Ke, who was standing behind the elder, stepped forward when the sect leader called his name. He smiled and replied, "Sect leader, you flatter me! I am just doing my duty. As their senior brother, it is my responsibility to take care of them and fulfill my duties."
Most importantly, my junior brothers trust me; I dare not take credit for myself. Everything was the result of our joint efforts, and they were equally outstanding.
Bai Ke's words truly made Ning Fengyi, Bai Yan, and Su Anqing look at him in a new light. "When did this kid become so eloquent and good at winning people over?"
No wonder all the disciples admired him so much after he went out; he's really incredibly cunning! Ning Fengyi thought to herself.
Xing Jian, sitting to the side, still looked disdainful, thinking to himself, "Hmph! Bai Ke, that smooth-talking, flattering person, is always good at pretending."
With just a few words, he made those people extremely happy. I really don't know if Bai Ke's methods are too clever, or if those people are just too stupid!
As it turned out, Bai Ke's attempt to win people over was very effective. When the disciples heard this, they felt even more that their senior brother was a responsible and magnanimous person, good in every way! Bai Ke's image in their hearts became even more lofty.
"Yes! Of course, there will be rewards based on merit during this training. Those who perform well will naturally be rewarded. However, with rewards come punishments, and as for those who disobey orders and cause trouble along the way..."
At this point, Ning Fengyi glanced sideways at Lin Xiu and Ling Feng in the distance. She continued, "Those who don't perform well will naturally be punished accordingly. Disciples from my Tian Ce Palace must not only have excellent cultivation, but also impeccable character!"
No matter how high your cultivation level is, it's useless if your mind is impure! Whether in Tian Ce Palace or outside, you must watch out for and help each other, and don't do anything that harms others and doesn't benefit yourself, making yourself a laughing stock!
Evil cannot prevail over good. Control your conscience, cultivate yourself properly, and that is the right path! Do you understand?
"Disciples are enlightened!" Upon hearing this, all the disciples in the hall responded in unison! At this moment, Lin Xiu and Ling Feng's expressions were very unpleasant, as this was clearly directed at them.
Lin Xiu was only thinking about how to explain things to his father later, while Ling Feng, standing to the side, hated Bai Ke so much that his teeth itched, and he tried his best to suppress the trembling of his body caused by resentment.
"Bai Ke! I will never forget this humiliation! Just you wait, one day I will trample you under my feet and make you taste the bitterness I caused you today!"
"Alright, now that you've all safely returned to the palace, go back to your residences and get some rest!"
At this point, he waved to the disciples who were watching and joining in the fun and said, "You all go down too, don't crowd around here, go and do your own things!"
"Bai Ke, please wait a moment, two Supreme Elders. I have something to discuss with you." Upon hearing this, Bai Ke, who was about to leave, stopped abruptly.
