The two of them recuperated at the bottom of the cliff and stayed for a few days before returning to Shushan when the wounds were almost healed.

The news of Gong Jiu and Yi Xuanji's return spread widely, and Chu Yingying, who had been worried, let out a sigh of relief.

Before the disciple came to see him, he was told to go to the main hall.

In the hall, all the elders gathered together, with the head Yu Yuanzhen sitting in the first place.

Seeing this posture, Chu Yingying raised her slender eyebrows indiscernibly, and calmly walked to the vacant seat next to Zhou Heng and sat down.

He picked up the tea on the table and handed it to his lips. After blowing it cold, he took a sip. The rich tea fragrance filled his mouth in an instant, and his slightly frowning brows stretched.

Chu Yingying looked at Gong Jiu and Yi Xuanji who were standing in the lower hall.

Glancing at the hands of the two of them tightly clasped together, there was a coldness in his eyes, he put down the teacup and rested his cheek with one hand.

"Report to the headmaster."

Gong Jiu let go of Yi Xuanji's hand, and knelt on the ground with his hands up and down, his back was as tall and straight as loose, the thin man exuded an aura that could not be ignored.

His attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, "My younger brother Gong Jiu wants to cut off the master-disciple relationship with the master, Elder Chu, and asks the head and the elders to witness together."

As soon as the voice fell, the scene was dead silent.

The atmosphere in the hall was condensed, and a powerful pressure swept the audience, making it difficult for the people to breathe, and the frequency of their heart beating missed a beat.

Gong Jiu is crazy?

"..."

All the elders looked at each other in dismay, without saying a word, and did not dare to get involved in this matter, for fear that they would be angered by Elder Chu.

Yu Yuan shook his head, stroking his beard, breaking the eerie silence.

"Gong Jiu, do you know what you are talking about? Have you thought about it? Once you make this decision, there is no turning back."

Gong Jiu's expression didn't change, "Yes, the disciple has made up his mind and I hope you all will be fulfilled."

"Brother..."

Yi Xuanji's lips twitched, and she looked at the person kneeling on the ground with worry.

She knelt down silently, guarded beside him, grabbed his hands and intertwined them, dispelling the coolness of his palms with the residual warmth of her palms.

Chu Yingying, who was sitting above, moved her right hand and tapped the armrest of the chair casually, making a series of crisp sounds.

She opened her red lips lightly, "Because of her? So you decided to cut off the relationship between master and apprentice with me?"

His eyes narrowed slightly, killing intent glittered in the bottom of his eyes, and the powerful aura radiated out, the pressed Gong Jiu groaned, and dense beads of sweat overflowed from his forehead.

He swallowed the sweet blood gushing out of his throat, "Please also ask Elder Chu to fulfill him."

His unwavering voice spread to every corner of the hall, and everyone present had to admire his courage, so he was not afraid of death.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"Really my good apprentice!"

Chu Yingying got up and said a few "okay" in a row, her brows were covered in frost.

She waved her sleeves and hands, carrying the light sword straight to Yi Xuanji's position, the sword pressed against the opponent's fragile neck.

"boom--"

Before the sword stabbed Yi Xuanji, Yu Yuanzhen, who was sitting in the first place, blocked the attack, his face dark as ink.

He frowned and scolded sharply, "Elder Chu, Xuanji is my apprentice, it's not your turn to teach me."

The fact that the two fell in love is not someone's unilateral fault, how can they spread their mistakes and anger on Xuanji again and again?

The two confronted each other with great momentum, and the atmosphere in the hall dropped to freezing point.

"Master calm down."

As always, Zhou Heng, who was dressed in blue robes, walked down lazily and stood beside Chu Yingying with a warm smile on the corner of his mouth.

He stood as a protector.

Chu Yingying raised a sarcastic smile, put away the sword in her hand, and stared at the two people on the ground condescendingly.

"Complete?"

"Since it's what you asked for, then I will fulfill it. From now on, the fate between you and me has been exhausted. Pack up your things and get out."

Giving up her future for the sake of so-called love is extremely stupid, and she is bound to hate Yi Xuanji even more.
