Chapter 922 - Disciplinary Squad
"You want to treat my friend like he's a criminal and question him? I will not allow such a thing to happen!" Wang Xiuying shouted angrily.
"Even if you are the disciple of the Sect Master, you cannot disobey the sect's rules. This man of unknown origin may be a threat to our sect, and as the Head Elder of the Disciplinary Squad, I will not allow anything to happen to our sect. No hard feelings, Disciple Wang. I am merely doing my job." Elder Gu shook his head.
"No! If you take him away, I will stop concocting pills for the sect!" Wang Xiuying said, shocking everybody there.
"Heavens, Senior apprentice-sister Wang is willing to go so far for him… There's no doubt that he's her dao companion!" The disciples were shocked and impressed by Wang Xiuying's boldness before Elder Gu, who is known for being ruthless.
"Senior Sister Wang! Why must you go so far for him? Are you really going to risk all of your hard work in the sect for a guy like him?! Even if you're the Sect Master's disciple, you can still be exiled from the sect for disobeying the sect rules! I will not allow you to make such a sacrifice!" Disciple Gu stepped forward and said.
"Hmph! As if my Master will kick me out of the sect over something like this. And even if I get kicked out, the only reason I joined this sect is because of him!" Wang Xiuying exclaimed, leaving everyone there speechless.
"What? Senior apprentice-sister Wang joined the sect for that guy?" The disciples were in awe of her dedication.
Even Yuan looked at her funny after such a claim.
"You joined the sect for me? But I don't remember asking you to do such a thing…" Yuan said.
"I will explain it to you later." Wang Xiuying said with a rosy face.
Disciple Gu gritted his teeth in anger when she saw Wang Xiuying's blushing face.
'Why does it have to be that bastard?! Why is she not looking at me with those bashful and passionate eyes?! Fuck! I swear I will kill you, or my surname is not Gu!' He cried inwardly.
"Uncle!" Disciple Gu called out to him.
Elder Gu slightly nodded his head and said, "Disciple Wang, if you're going to continue this charade, I will have no choice but to detain you as well! The Sect Master is currently away from the sect, and she might not return for another day or two! Do you wish to spend the next two days behind bars?! Your decision will greatly affect your reputation and position within the sect! Is this how you wish to repay the sect after everything we have done for you?! All for this nameless spy?!"
Wang Xiuying gritted her teeth in anger and shouted, "If that's what I need to do to protect—"
However, Yuan suddenly patted her in the back and interrupted, "I will go with them. They're only going to question me, right? Then I just need to answer them truthfully. There's no need escalate the situation any further or for you to make such sacrifices over such a small thing. I'll be back in a bit."
"Yuan… I'm sorry… If my Master was here, none of this would've happened to you. But don't worry! As soon as she returns, I will tell her to help you! She won't refuse!"
Yuan smiled, "I also have a feeling that she won't refuse."
He left her side and started walking towards the Disciplinary Squad.
"Cuff him!" Elder Gu said to the rest of the Disciplinary Squad.
