"What are you all looking at? Did I say something wrong?" Liu Hua was also somewhat annoyed. Being used to his high position, how could he tolerate these people looking at him as if he were garbage?
"That's right, everyone, restrain yourselves a bit." Yun Jin also spoke calmly. "These are just minor matters, not worth it! You can take these storage bags back. I rescued you all, not for these things."
Even saying this, Yun Jin made the crowd even more moved.
Ji Heng, looking at Liu Hua, could hardly contain himself. He had once taken pride in being a disciple of Xinghe Sect. But at this moment, the same status now filled him with deep shame.
Ji Heng stood up again, his eyes reddened, his voice trembling with emotion. "Sect Master, you have no idea what Sect Master Yun has done for us!"
Liu Hua immediately turned his gaze toward Yun Jin.
Yun Jin looked innocent. "It's nothing, really nothing!"
Ji Heng shouted, "In the storage bags Sect Master Yun gave us, every single bag contained a formation tablet. Each tablet has a formation recorded on it, and with it, anyone can instantly master the formation!
It is with the assistance of these formations that we were able to overcome the strong with the weak, greatly reducing casualties!
Such incredible items, and Sect Master Yun produced hundreds of them!"
Ji Heng's voice nearly broke with emotion. He had previously doubted whether Yun Jin might treat Xinghe Sect disciples differently or tamper with his bag.
The result proved his suspicion was born of pettiness.
Now, his sect master was exhibiting the same petty heart.
Ji Heng felt an intense discomfort. Such a good person as Sect Master Yun should never be misunderstood!
Liu Hua's expression shifted slightly.
Formation tablets that allow instant mastery of formations?
Such a thing even exists?
"That's not all," Ji Heng's voice trembled. "Sect Master Yun also prepared powerful talismans for us. In life-and-death situations, these talismans saved countless lives.
Talismans capable of instantly slaying hundreds or thousands of ferocious beasts. And Sect Master Yun produced hundreds of such precious talismans!
It can be said that all the gains we made outside the city were entirely thanks to Sect Master Yun. Although she did not request any recognition, we could not ignore the truth.
These storage bags contained materials dissected from ferocious beasts, which originally belonged to Sect Master Yun. Every one of us willingly handed them over, without the slightest reluctance." Ji Heng's voice rang out firmly.
Liu Hua's face immediately darkened. He could not understand!
This time, Yun Jin had not even rescued a single Wushuang Sect disciple. The Wushuang Sect disciples could have survived on their own. For people unrelated to her, she actually produced such precious items? Could Wushuang Sect survive in the future?
Who could be this selfless?
Liu Hua even felt fear creeping into his heart.
Ji Heng was a genius disciple of Xinghe Sect, yet now he looked at his Sect Master with utter disappointment.
The rescued disciples also looked at him with disappointment.
How dare they, how dare they!
Liu Hua's anger and frustration surged.
At the same time, he realized a terrifying truth. The power structure in the Qingxiao region might truly be changing.
Previously, Yun Jin's reputation had been strong mostly among loose cultivators and Imperial cultivators, while within sect disciples, her reputation was more criticized than praised.
But this time.
When the ferocious beast tide broke out, Yun Jin acted decisively to rescue everyone, even exhausting her sect's wealth!
After this event, she would become a godlike figure in the eyes of the sect disciples!
Cold sweat poured down Liu Hua's forehead.
Two words flashed in his mind: The trend!
Yun Jin had become the trend.
Forget him, even Lin Xiao, the Pavilion Master, could no longer control her. T
he fear rising in his heart made Liu Hua speak carelessly. He stared at Yun Jin. "Sect Master Yun, you achieved your goal this time? A ferocious beast tide just helped spread your fame! You must feel quite proud now."
The words had barely fallen when Liu Hua immediately realized his mistake, revealing a frustrated expression. Even if he thought this way, now was certainly not the time to speak it aloud!
Sure enough.
The crowd's gaze at him became even angrier.
Several seemed ready to charge forward and attack him.
Yun Jin sighed. "Sect Master Liu, what would you have me do? Leave so many people's lives to perish? Perhaps this is something you could do, but I truly could not."
Her expression radiated righteous authority. "However, even if you say that, next time someone is in danger, neither I nor Wushuang Sect disciples will stand by idly!"
"Swear to follow Sect Master to the death!" Hong Ye led the chant.
"Swear to follow Sect Master to the death!" Other Wushuang Sect disciples shouted as well.
The infectious energy of their voices made Ji Heng and the others want to join in.
But they could not.
They were not Wushuang Sect disciples.
Immediately, everyone's gaze toward the Wushuang Sect disciples was filled with envy.
Previously Wushuang Sect had been a controversial new sect.
Now.
In the minds of Qingxiao region disciples, the sect's status might even surpass the Holy Land!
To have lived a life without joining Wushuang Sect would make all cultivation meaningless!
Liu Hua's expression changed, and he eventually sat down in confusion.
The heavens had shifted.
Truly, the heavens had shifted.
Yun Jin and Wushuang Sect could no longer be manipulated at will.
"Sect Master Liu only misspoke briefly. Sect Master Yun, do not mind him." Lin Xiao said calmly. Though wary in his heart, he showed no trace on his face. Overall, Lin Xiao was not too flustered. Even if Yun Jin's prestige was high, if she died, everything would reset.
"It's fine. I am used to being misunderstood," Yun Jin waved her hand.
The disciples' eyes turned red again.
Damn it.
They truly deserved this.
How many times had they hurt Sect Master Yun before, for her to speak so lightly about it?
How could anyone ever get used to being misunderstood?
Her heart at that time must have been so heavy!
Lin Xiao's eyes flickered, forcing a smile. "Sect Master Yun has saved so many lives this time, earning great merit. I suppose no one will misunderstand you again."
Yun Jin nodded. "I agree. Pavilion Master Lin, since you said it, and I have achieved great merit, should there not be some reward?"
Lin Xiao's lips twitched.
A reward?
So audaciously said!
