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."The most update n0vels are published on ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

He left her side and started walking towards the Disciplinary Squad.

"Cuff him!" Elder Gu said to the rest of the Disciplinary Squad.

Yuan did not resist and allowed the disciples to cuff him with these weird-looking handcuffs made out of some kind of red crystal.

Yuan expected some kind of special effect from the handcuffs, but he didn't feel any different afterward.

"Don't even try to do anything funny. These handcuffs are made out of Spirit Sealing Crystals, which will restrict your cultivation base when worn, so you'll be no different from a mortal without any cultivation!" Disciple Gu said to him with a malicious grin on his face.

"Is that so?" Yuan calmly shrugged, as he could still feel his cultivation base.

This reminded him of the time when he and Wang Xiuying accidentally arrived at the Ancient Dragon City, where they were detained with the same type of handcuffs.

"See you in a bit!" Yuan said while looking at Wang Xiuying.

"Shut up and start moving!" One of the disciples poked Yuan with a stick.

"Poke me again and see what will happen." Yuan narrowed his gaze at the disciple.

The disciple immediately pulled back the stick and trembled in fear.

"Lead the way." Yuan calmly continued.

"Hmph. Arrogant bastard. Let's see if you can keep your cool when Disciple Wang is no longer watching." Elder Gu sneered.

Wang Xiuying and the other disciples proceeded to watch Yuan being led away by the Disciplinary Squad.

After snapping out of her daze, Wang Xiuying retrieved her flying treasure and disappeared from the Alchemy Store.

Sometime later, she arrived at the Sect Master's Headquarters.

Although Sect Master Xiahou wasn't present, there was someone that could contact her in the building.

"Elder Yong! This is an emergency! I need you to contact my Master immediately!" Wang Xiuying started shouting even before the door could fully open.

An old man was sitting at the end of the room, and he lifted his head in a startled manner after Wang Xiuying stormed into his room without knocking.

"Disciple Wang? What happened? I have never seen you this hectic before."

"The Disciplinary Squad took my friend even though he did nothing wrong! Hurry up and call my Master!"

"Your friend?" Elder Yong raised his eyebrows in a questioning manner.

Wang Xiuying quickly explained the situation to him.

"I see… I understand the situation, but your Master is currently in a meeting with the other Academies' Sect Masters regarding Sect Master Sun's death. It would be a bad idea to disturb her now. Let's just wait for her to return in a day or two." He said.
