Supreme Emptiness-Chapter 405 - Disqualification
Chapter 405: Chapter 405 Disqualification
Chapter 405 -405 Disqualification
Ye Cangyuan listened silently.
His brows furrowed slightly as he sternly said, “I will not repeat myself a second time!”
An invisible aura of authority gradually bore down upon the room.
Li Shiqian felt a surge of reverence in her heart.
*But, how could she possibly apologize like this? Where would her dignity go?*
*If she were to apologize to the likes of Xia Chaoge, Jin Zhongming, or Liang Feiyan, top prodigies of the Nine-Sect, then perhaps it wouldn’t matter.*
*Their status and position were self-evident.*
*Apologizing to them wouldn’t be shameful.*
*But Jiang Fan? Who was he?*
*Just a nobody without a Spirit Root!*
*To bow and apologize to him—wouldn’t that tarnish her standing as a proud daughter of the Supreme Sect?*
*Yet Ye Cangyuan favored Jiang Fan, forcing her into submission.*
She could only glare at Jiang Fan, her face full of defiance, and said, “Jiang Fan, I misunderstood you today.”
“I am willing to apologize.”
“But not here, and not now.”
“I’ll personally apologize to you in private and even offer compensation.”
“I hope you can understand me.”
Jiang Fan laughed bitterly in frustration.
He coldly remarked, “When you slandered me, you made sure the whole world heard it.”
“Now, when you’re apologizing, you want only me to hear it?”
He truly hadn’t expected this.
A simple apology had turned into a spectacle because of this woman!
If her attitude had been even slightly better, Jiang Fan would not have pursued the matter further.
*But the more obstinate she became,*
*the less Jiang Fan could afford to let her off the hook!*
“Apologize! Here, now, immediately!”
His voice resounded like thunder as he commanded.
Li Shiqian flared in anger. “Jiang Fan, don’t push me too far!”
“Our Sect Master and my Senior Brother are here!”
“Don’t think that just because Xia Chaoge calls you ‘Martial Uncle,’ you can trample all over me!”
She even dared to openly threaten him.
A stance of defiance radiated from her as if she would never bow her head.
However.
This completely enraged Ye Cangyuan.
A cold fury burned in his eyes as his robes billowed with unseen power. He declared icily, “The one being insolent is you!”
Without any visible action on his part.
A terrifying pressure descended like a tsunami, crushing Li Shiqian.
*Thud!*
Li Shiqian’s cultivation, at the First Level of Core Formation, was powerless against such overwhelming might.
In an instant, she was slammed heavily to the ground!
From the devastating impact, she involuntarily spat out a massive spray of blood mist.
Li Shiqian groaned miserably, her eyes filled with shock.
*Ye Cangyuan had actually… personally struck her.*
*Only now did she realize that her public threats had crossed Ye Cangyuan’s bottom line!*
Forget about her injuries, she hurriedly scrambled to her knees and pleaded, “Disciple… Disciple has erred.”
Ye Cangyuan replied coldly,
“Threatening another disciple right in front of me?”
“Your Sect Master and your Senior Brother, so impressive?”
With a turn of his hand, he retrieved a thick roster.
The list recorded the names of disciples from various sects who were participating in missions.
His aged eyes scanned the list until he located Li Shiqian’s name.
Without hesitation, his finger traced a decisive line, completely erasing her name.
“From today onward, your qualifications to carry out missions are revoked!”
“Return to your Supreme Sect!”
What?
Li Shiqian’s expression turned pale with shock.
Revoking her qualification to perform missions meant that while others were accumulating merit and exchanging it for vast resources,
she would be left to watch helplessly!
Those stronger than her would grow ever more powerful, leaving her further behind.
Those weaker than her would advance rapidly, surpassing her with ease!
This would completely alter her destiny.
*She was panicked now and began pleading desperately.*
“Vice Pavilion Master Ye, disciple knows her mistakes. Disciple will apologize to Jiang Fan immediately.”
“Please take back your decision!”
*She could never have imagined this.*
*The privileged status she often enjoyed as the Supreme Sect’s proud daughter had not brought her any advantages today.*
*Instead, it had led to this catastrophic consequence!*
Ye Cangyuan coldly put away the roster and said, “No need.”
“Since you were unwilling to apologize, punishment shall bring justice to Jiang Fan instead!”
Li Shiqian grew frantic, crying out in anguish, “But this will ruin me for life!”
Ye Cangyuan said indifferently, “Spreading rumors, causing strife, unjustly targeting others, and refusing to repent after realizing your mistakes.”
“All of this proves your flawed character.”
“What is unforgivable, however, is your abuse of power to intimidate others.”
“Someone like you would cause harm to many if kept on the battlefield.”
Every person who came here fought with their lives on the line.
When they returned from the frontlines, they should not have to endure slander and humiliation.
Seeking a simple apology resulted in threats—threats made openly in front of the commanding officer?”
This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.
As the highest-ranking commander in this place,
he simply could not tolerate it!
“Leave!” Ye Cangyuan ordered coldly.
Li Shiqian’s heart trembled.
With several other disciples of the Supreme Sect supporting her, she left hurriedly.
But before she exited, the look she sent Jiang Fan was filled with venomous resentment.
*If it weren’t for Jiang Fan’s petty insistence, would matters have turned out this way?*
Jiang Fan shook his head. “Truly obstinate.”
“Even now, she believes the fault lies with others.”
*Something as minor as an apology—she escalated it step by step, ultimately crossing Ye Cangyuan’s line.*
*She has no one else to blame.*
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Xia Chaoge lowering her head, her expression complicated.
He looked apologetic and said, “I’ve put you in a difficult position.”
“On one side is your Martial Uncle, on the other your Junior Sister.”
“You were caught in the middle, with no simple way to take a stand.”
Xia Chaoge shook her head and sighed lightly, “I don’t blame Martial Uncle.”
“Her current outcome was inevitable.”
“Long before this, she had conflicts with several Outer Sect disciples, most of which stemmed from her impulsive and arrogant nature.”
“Every time, the Sect Master stepped in to suppress others with authority and resolve the disputes.”
“Perhaps because of this, she grew overconfident and inadvertently angered Vice Pavilion Master Ye.”
“I only feel regret for her talent.”
“If this had happened to someone else, perhaps the result would have been different.”
Many disciples strive diligently but are limited by their aptitude.
Li Shiqian was born with exceptional gifts, yet she squandered them like this.
With the matter settled,
Ye Cangyuan returned to the hall expressionlessly.
The gathered disciples, cowed to silence, each departed with their own Spirit Beast in tow.
Today had taught them firsthand what ‘killing the chicken to warn the monkeys’ truly meant.
No matter how high your standing as a proud daughter of some sect, if you defied the rules, your qualifications would be stripped away.
You would regret it for the rest of your life!
*Crash!*
In a remote courtyard,
Hua Xiangchen smashed the teacup in his hand violently, his face livid with rage as he roared, “Jiang Fan has gone too far!”
“For such a minor matter, he has forced my Junior Sister to lose her qualification for missions and ruined her future!”
Li Shiqian, collapsed weakly onto the ground, sobbed uncontrollably.
*Her expression was one of utter grievance.*
The few disciples from the Supreme Sect who had escorted her back exchanged glances.
*All sighed quietly.*
*Senior Sister Li had conveniently left out the fact that she publicly threatened Jiang Fan in front of Ye Cangyuan.*
*That was the true reason her qualifications were revoked.*
But with Senior Brother Hua in such a fury,
and the Supreme Sect Master’s face dark enough to drip water,
who would dare risk upsetting them by speaking the truth?
Besides, with how the Sect Master favored Li Shiqian, even if they did tell the truth, the blame would still fall on Jiang Fan.
In the end, speaking up really wouldn’t change anything.
“Master!” Hua Xiangchen suddenly grabbed his sword from the table and respectfully said,
“I’m going to confront Jiang Fan and demand justice for Junior Sister!”
The Supreme Sect Master asked icily, “Are you confident?”
Hua Xiangchen’s jaw tightened, the muscle twitching as he clenched his teeth.
*No one could have imagined this scene: the Supreme Sect Master, asking his top disciple and Big Senior Brother whether he had the confidence to best a disciple without a Spirit Root.*
*But reality was harsh—he, Hua Xiangchen, had once been defeated by Jiang Fan!*
*It was a humiliation etched into the depths of his soul.*
*For the past month,*
*every moment had been a torment of disgrace.*
*He had thought of nothing else but avenging himself.*
*Today, the opportunity had finally arrived!*
*Avenging his Junior Sister was just a convenient excuse.*
*Washing away the shame was his true objective!*
Hua Xiangchen steeled himself, clasped his hands together, and replied serenely, “Master, what are you saying?”
“Disciple… has already broken through to the Second Level of Core Formation!”
