Chapter 1727 - 1727: Using Him as a Shield?
Chapter 1727: Chapter 1727: Using Him as a Shield?
“Heh, heh,”
The sect master was truly laughed at by the Great Elder.
How could he say such shameless words, especially in front of so many teachers and students? Was he ready to abandon even his own face?
“Junior Brother Gu, can you really stand by what you’re saying? Could it be that one of my disciples has become one of your Gu Family’s elders, to discipline your granddaughter?”
Since the Great Elder was so ungracious in shirking responsibility, why should he be gracious?
“You—”
The Great Elder’s face darkened immediately. Was he trying to take advantage of him?
Thinking this, he glared resentfully at Mo Zheng, feeling that it was all this troublemaker’s fault.
“Why go to the Zhedu Sea Area if you’re fine? You’re just asking for trouble!” he scolded.
“The Great Elder is right to lecture. I should have stayed in Qingyun Sect for life and never go anywhere, so that I wouldn’t have brought such a catastrophe upon my junior brothers and sisters,”
“You, you…”
Hearing his words, the Great Elder’s old face turned beet red.
He just wanted to regain some face, and this brat dared to talk back to him. Who was he trying to embarrass?
He’s the Great Elder! Did Mo Zheng think that it would be beneficial for him to lose face as the Great Elder? What kind of people are these, not using their brains at all!
The Great Elder should be thankful for keeping such thoughts to himself. If he had voiced them out loud, the sect master would have probably left him speechless.
If, as the Great Elder, he must save face, does that mean Mo Zheng, his successor, can be shameless?
If Mo Zheng truly took upon himself the sins of Gu Qingyu’s wrongdoing, the transition of power to him would surely not be smooth.
“Enough, Great Elder, there’s no need to argue here. Let’s take care of the aftermath for Qingyu first. As for matters concerning the Xiang Dynasty, I have plans of my own.
Of course, if King Yaan Residence really sends someone to the sect, we will still need the Great Elder to come forward, after all, Gu Qingyu is your own granddaughter, and was personally taught by you since she was young,”
Upon hearing the sect master’s first sentence, the Great Elder felt secretly pleased, thinking he had a reason not to appear when people from King Yaan Residence came calling.
But just as he was beginning to feel delighted, he heard the following words from the sect master.
His face turned black immediately, wondering what the sect master meant. Was he trying to make him a scapegoat?
Contemplating this possibility, he suddenly felt some resentment towards Gu Qingyu. Why did she have to mess with the Xiang Dynasty if she was fine, if not to cause him trouble?
He truly regretted doting on his granddaughter for so many years, for her to become so unruly!
“Hmph!”
He huffed coldly, and after a forceful flick of his sleeves, he left.
Seeing the Great Elder leave, the other teachers paid their respects to the sect master, then led their disciples out as well.
“Zheng’er, tell me clearly, what exactly happened with Gu Qingyu?” Once everyone had left and only the sect master and Mo Zheng remained in the great hall, the sect master’s face grew stern and he asked.
He always felt that things were not as simple as Mo Zheng had made them out to be, and surely a lot had been omitted.
Mo Zheng let out a soft sigh, then slowly began to speak.
This included several incidents where Gu Qingyu had been disrespectful, even trying to lay hands on An Jiuyue, scheming to snatch her man; and after failing, attempting to get close to Zhan Beiye.
