Now that you have betrayed the sect, who will still pamper you?.

Xia Qianqian also advised: "Yes, Master, this exchange meeting is to encourage disciples from all sects to learn from each other. Third Junior Sister's skills are not as good as others, so she deserves to be beaten.

If we seek revenge on Jiang Han for this, wouldn't we be put at a disadvantage and be laughed at by others for our Lingtian Sect's magnanimity?"

The third junior sister had long known that she was no match for Jiang Han, yet she foolishly jumped out to provoke him. She deserved to be beaten, and Jiang Han was not to blame.

Besides, Jiang Han had already shown mercy at that time. He usually took people's lives directly, but he still had some feelings for the third senior sister and only beat her into a pig's head. This was already very considerate of him.

But Ji Yuchan didn't bother to care about these things: "No matter what the reason is, he attacked Jingxue, it's a fact, he made a mistake and he should be punished.

Moreover, he attacked Jingxue so harshly. If we don't fight back, people will laugh at our Lingtian Sect for being incompetent!"

These two idiots must have become stupid from practicing so much that they don't even speak up for their own family members, but instead try to make excuses for an outsider.

The sect’s reputation is more important than anything else. If one of its disciples swallows his anger after being beaten, he will only be bullied even more.

"So what if she said something wrong? Jingxue is my disciple. Even if she made a mistake, I, the master, will teach her. Why would I need an abandoned disciple to step in?

There's no need to discuss this matter any further, just do it. If he dares to insult others, he must be prepared to bear the consequences of being insulted!"

Mo Qiu Shuang was stunned.

Master, what does this mean?

Isn’t Jiang Han also Master’s disciple?

Why is it that when he makes a mistake, Third Junior Sister can punish him on behalf of the Master, but now that Jingxue has made a big mistake, Jiang Han cannot punish her directly?

Could it be that until now, the master still hasn't considered Jiang Han as his disciple?

But Master just asked Junior Sister Seven to go see her Senior Brother Jiang. Doesn’t this mean that Jiang Han is also her disciple?

"Master."

Mo Qiu Shuang wanted to defend Jiang Han, but she didn't know what to say. What her master said was indeed very reasonable. This matter involved the reputation of the sect. If they didn't fight back, it would be impossible.

Thinking of this, she changed her tone and said softly, "Junior Brother Jiang hasn't come out of retreat yet..."

"Do you want me to wait for him to come out of seclusion?"

Ji Yuchan didn't have the patience to wait for him: "Now is the time for the exchange meeting and competition. Send a few people to challenge the Sword Sect. I don't believe he can hide forever."

It would be best if he accepted the challenge. As long as they fought, Lingtian Sect would be able to regain most of its face. If they could win, their reputation would quickly rise.

If he avoided the battle, it would be a face-saving thing for them, and the only one who would be embarrassed would be the Sword Sect.

There was no other way, Mo Qiu Shuang could only agree: "Yes, disciple will do it right away."

She had tried her best, but her master was angry and would not listen no matter how she explained.

It would be better to discuss it with Jiang Han. As long as he can admit his mistake, and even better, lose to them again, the master's anger will be relieved.

Jiang Han has always been a man of broad mind. Even though he has a bad temper and likes to hit people, he has always been very sensible when it comes to major matters concerning the sect.

But when she took several of her fellow apprentice sisters to look for Jiang Han, no one came out to greet them.

"What an uneducated bunch! We came to the Sword Sect with such fanfare to look for someone, and they pretended not to see it, right?"

It is common for disciples from the five sects to visit each other, let alone at this grand event where the main focus is on communication.

In addition to Jiang Han’s current status, even a temporary residence would require at least dozens of servants to serve him.

As soon as they showed up and flew over here, someone should have gone in to report and left people waiting outside the island.

But now, they have all walked to the door, but no one has come to greet them, which is enough to show that Jiang Han deliberately did not allow anyone to come out to greet them.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Mo Qiushuang's eyes. She had been staring at Jiang Han since early this morning, and she had not seen him since he left the venue.

He has no friends and no one comes to see him. Given his personality, it is even more impossible for him to go out and visit others. He can only stay on the island and practice in seclusion.

In the current situation, it is obvious that Jiang Han is deliberately avoiding them.

What is he hiding from?

Is he afraid of another conflict with them, or is he afraid of punishment from his master?

He didn't have to worry about the first one at all. They were not there to cause trouble, but to help him.

As for the second one...

Mo Qiushuang thought for a moment, then sent her spiritual sense a tiny bit into the island. She transmitted a message, "Junior Brother Jiang, there's no need to be afraid. Senior Sister has already pleaded with Master on your behalf. As long as you come forward and apologize to Third Junior Sister, this matter will be over."

Her voice was not loud, but it was loud enough to be heard in every corner of the floating island.

But until the echo faded away, there was no reaction from the island. It was so quiet that it seemed as if no one was there.

"Why are you pretending? He's just a Holy Son. How can it be harder to meet him than to meet the Sect Master?" Nangong Li couldn't help but curse.

This was the same thing when they went to Jianzong to find Jiang Han last time. He refused to see anyone who came to look for him, and they waited for two months without seeing him.

Now that they've come this far, he's still putting on airs with them.

He really doesn't know his place. A saint's son has an even greater pomp than the leader of a sect!

Mo Qiu Shuang smiled bitterly. Xiao Han was indeed avoiding them.

"Senior Sister, could it be that Jiang Han is not on the island?" Xia Qianqian asked, "Even if Xiaohan is in seclusion, there should be menial disciples serving him. At the very least, there should be people cleaning nearby. But look at this island, it seems there is no one there."

Only after hearing her say this did Mo Qiu Shuang notice this.

"It really is."

It seems that Xiaohan was not hiding from them on purpose, but was really not on the island. He even sent all the disciples out to watch the fun.

With Xiaohan's kind nature, he would indeed do so.

She felt much better.

"Xiaohan may have gone out to play. He should be back soon. Let's wait for him here."

"Still waiting?!" Nangong Li's face darkened. "Who knows how long he'll be playing outside? Does that mean we have to wait for a whole day if he plays outside for a whole day? Or should we split up and look for him?"

She didn't come here for Jiang Han, she came here to have fun and collect some rare treasures to add to the family chamber of commerce. She couldn't waste her time on Jiang Han.

"No, Youxian Lake is too big. If we split up to look for him, we will probably miss Xiaohan." Mo Qiu Shuang shook his head and refused.

Liu Hanyue advised, "Big Sister, Sixth Junior Sister is busy with her work. It's really a waste of time to just wait. Why don't we split up and let Sixth Junior Sister go look around while we wait here for Xiaohan to come back?"

Mo Qiu Shuang was a little hesitant. It was obvious that Sixth Junior Sister had no intention of looking for her. If she let her go, she would definitely not care about this matter anymore. If the Master asked about it later, there would be one less person to share the burden.
