No wonder those disciples were so resentful just now, and no wonder everyone in the sect was talking about it. These messy rules have harmed the interests of all of them!

Of course, this also includes her interests.

What's more, any one of these things could damage the foundation of the sect if not done carefully. If someone with ulterior motives seizes the opportunity and takes some action in secret, it would probably cause great harm to the sect.

"I know you're doing this for the good of the sect, but you also have to consider the reaction of the disciples. If you really follow this rule, they will definitely have objections. By then, you'll be isolated and helpless, and your life might be in danger..."

"Senior sister!"

Lin Xuan's face darkened. He originally thought that Third Senior Sister was here to help him, but he didn't expect that she would actually speak for those low-level disciples.

And from what she said, there was a hint of threat?

"They are just low-level disciples. Even if they are dissatisfied, what can they do? Can they kill me?!"

"I have the Sect Master's Seal in my hand. Even if they were given ten times the courage, they would never dare to attack me!"

When Lin Xuan said this, he suddenly felt a chill on his back. Thinking of the disciples from various peaks who had been lingering near the treasure house, his heart trembled, and he quickly raised the treasure seal and shouted:

"Master has already agreed to this matter, and it has been included in the sect manual and stamped with the sect master's seal. This is not something you can just say you will not do."

"What?!" Lu Jingxue was shocked. "Who asked you to join the sect manual? Did you get Master's approval when you stamped the seal?"

Adding new rules requires consultation among the elders of each peak. How can Lin Xuan add things to the manual without permission?

If one wants to add new rules to the sect manual, one must go to the Law Enforcement Hall and have the head of the Law Enforcement Hall personally open the clan stone tablet. Only with the witness of at least eight peak masters can the new rules be engraved on the clan stone tablet.

There is absolutely no way Lin Xuan could do this!

How could the other elders and peak masters let him do whatever he wanted?!

Thinking of this, Lu Jingxue shouted anxiously, "How did you get the seal? When you established the new rules, did you engrave it on the clan law stone tablet in the Law Enforcement Hall?"

"The sect's stone tablet?" Lin Xuan's brows sank. "Of course it was engraved. Don't worry, Senior Sister. I followed the sect's rules completely. There were absolutely no omissions!"

Lu Jingxue's heart trembled. He had engraved it, he had actually engraved it! How on earth had he done that?

This is the end. If this is engraved on the clan stone tablet, there will be no turning back...

No! There's another way. If the eight peak masters don't bear witness, there's still hope of erasing this new rule!

Thinking of this, she trembled and said, "When you engraved the seal, did the eight peak masters witness it together? If not, this new rule would be useless even if you engraved it..."

"Senior sister, are you doubting my ability?" Lin Xuan was very dissatisfied. He had already said that he was following the rules. Why was senior sister still so troublesome?

"That day when I went to the Law Enforcement Hall, I happened to meet a kind-hearted disciple."

"It was he who helped me invite the eight peak masters. Under their joint witness, he asked the head of the Law Enforcement Hall to open the clan law stone tablet. Only then was the new rules engraved and affixed with the clan master's seal."

"A kind-hearted disciple?!" Lu Jingxue was shocked. Which disciple had such ability to invite eight peak masters?

"Call out that kind-hearted disciple! I want to see who it is!"

"Third Senior Sister, what exactly do you mean? Don't you believe me?!"

Lin Xuan's last bit of patience was finally exhausted. He had finally accomplished something big, so why did his senior sister not trust him?

"I'll say it again, everything I do has Master's approval! There will be absolutely no problems!"

"What did you say?!"

Lu Jingxue looked at Lin Xuan in disbelief. She could feel the dissatisfaction and alienation in his words. This was the first time she heard Lin Xuan speak to her in this manner.

I clearly wanted to help him, but why would he be like this?

Not only did he not repent, but he also spoke harshly to her and was extremely impatient.

She had never been treated like this before. When she taught Jiang Han a lesson before, he never dared to refute her. No matter what she said, he lowered his head and listened carefully, and then he would apologize continuously.

But how come when it comes to Xiao Xuan, she becomes like someone meddling in other people's business? Not only is her tone extremely impatient, she even dares to speak rudely to her!

The huge sense of gap made her feel uncomfortable for a moment.

"Master has been in charge of the sect for many years, and he must have clearly seen the pros and cons of this. Since Master agreed to let me do this, he must have his reasons."

"Third Senior Sister, think carefully. Can you see deeper and farther than Master? Can you understand the pros and cons better than Master?"

Lin Xuan didn't expect that his third senior sister would be so short-sighted. He was thinking about the sect, but she was indiscriminate and got angry at him for those low-level disciples.

It would have been fine if she just got angry, but she actually found fault with his methods.

She didn't even think about who she was doing this for. Was it for me? I was doing this for the good of the sect!

How is her current foolish appearance different from those low-level disciples before?!

Feeling unhappy, Lin Xuan spoke even more bluntly:

"I still have things to do. If Third Senior Sister is unwilling to help, it would be better for you to go back for now and not be an eyesore here."

An eyesore?!

He actually said she was an eyesore!

Lu Jingxue's breath stopped when she heard this. She didn't expect that Lin Xuan would be so unreasonable. She was clearly doing this for his own good, but he was so cold to her.

She had been so indulgent towards him before, but in the end, she only received such a cruel attitude in return.

"Xiao Xuan, how could you do this? I'm your senior sister..."

But no matter what she said, Lin Xuan ignored her and lowered his head to start organizing the account books.

When Lu Jingxue saw this, she felt a sudden pain in her heart and even her breathing stopped.

She had always treated him wholeheartedly and sincerely, but in the end, all she got in return was disgust and hatred. Before she could even say a few words to him, he wanted to drive her away.

If she said a few more words, would he yell at her?

She suddenly realized that Lin Xuan was so unkind.

If she preached to Jiang Han like this, he would definitely not treat her like this. He would definitely listen to her teachings seriously and would be extremely grateful to her afterwards.

Even if she spoke in a bad tone and scolded him, Jiang Han would just lower his head and respond without any resistance at all.

If Jiang Han were still here, at least there would be someone who could understand her painstaking efforts.

When she is in a bad mood, she has a place to vent her anger.

Instead of just sulking like now.

Thinking of this, Lu Jingxue suddenly felt a dull pain in her heart. She had given so much to Lin Xuan over the years, but what was it in the end?

If Jiang Han were to make the same effort, he would definitely not have this attitude. Instead, he would treat her as the most respected person and serve her wholeheartedly.

At this moment, she missed the days when Jiang Han was still alive.

"If only Jiang Han were still here..."
