Chapter 41 The Villainous Female Supporting Character in Immortal Cultivation (23)
On the path of cultivation, talent and hard work are not the only factors; resources and connections are also very important.
In the past, Mo Yuan could be said to have never worried about this matter. It seemed that all the hardships in his life ended with that day's encounter and the end of his begging life.
But now, it seems everything has returned to square one. He is no longer a lofty immortal, but an ordinary person who has to struggle to make a living.
He wanted to return to the sect to obtain Nan Hua Zhenren's forgiveness, but before he even reached the sect, he saw the notice posted there.
The inscription read, "Mo Yuan has fallen in love with a woman from the Demon Realm and they have become Daoist partners. Therefore, Mo Yuan is hereby expelled from our sect and has no further connection with us!"
Mo Yuan stared at the notice, utterly unable to believe his eyes. He muttered to himself, "This is impossible! This must be fake! With my talent, the sect wouldn't give up on me so easily!"
"This must be fake! Once I return to the sect and obtain my master's forgiveness, everything will return to normal! Just like before, yes, just like before!"
As he spoke, he became somewhat delirious. He started packing his luggage on his own, preparing to return to his sect.
Seeing this, Bai Yaoyao quickly grabbed his hand, "Brother Yuan, what's wrong with you?"
"Yaoyao, the sect doesn't want me anymore, what should I do?"
"Brother Yuan, is there some misunderstanding? You're so outstanding, the sect wouldn't do this!" Bai Yaoyao said understandingly from the side.
"Really?" Mo Yuan's tone carried a hint of uncertainty, but he desperately needed someone to reassure him.
"It definitely will!" Bai Yaoyao said confidently, though it was unclear whether she was speaking to Mo Yuan or to herself. Perhaps even she herself didn't realize that she was afraid of Mo Yuan being expelled from the sect.
The two acted quickly, setting off overnight. After a week-long journey, they finally arrived at the foot of the mountain gate.
Considering his current situation, Mo Yuan decided to put away his previous arrogant attitude and treat people with courtesy.
"Disciple Mo Yuan has come to pay a visit to True Man Nanshan. Please allow me to announce your arrival!"
Mo Yuan lowered his head, feeling somewhat resentful. In the past, he would never have bowed his head over such trivial matters, especially since this person was merely a low-ranking outer disciple.
Seeing Mo Yuan's appearance, the man waved his hand, "You have already been expelled from the sect, so you should leave quickly! You're just wasting my time by staying here!"
Bai Yaoyao couldn't stand these words anymore. "How dare you talk like that?"
"This is my attitude towards disciples expelled from the sect. So what? The notice has been posted all over the world. Do you think this is a joke? You think you're something special just because I'm giving you a hard time!"
Mo Yuan blushed upon hearing this. He had never expected that he would be the one to be harassed by an unknown nobody.
Hearing his words, Mo Yuan felt his anger rising uncontrollably, and he couldn't help but want to teach this person a lesson.
To Mo Yuan's surprise, the expected injury did not occur.
Looking back, he saw the face he least wanted to see—Xia Mingwei.
Xia Mingwei had anticipated this, and had instructed Xiao Ba to keep a close watch on Mo Yuan's movements. She was just waiting for him to come to her doorstep before delivering the final blow.
After all, the most painful thing is being cut with a dull knife. She wanted this hypocritical ingrate to watch how she would gradually fall from her pedestal. After all, the most painful thing in this world is wanting something you once had.
Xia Mingwei wasn't the only one who came; her former fellow disciples and Master Nanhua were also there.
Upon seeing Master Nan Hua, Mo Yuan was overjoyed and hurriedly exclaimed, "Master, your disciple has returned!"
"Mo Yuan, what if you come back? What if you don't? The oath to Heaven has already been made. Do you still want to break it?" Xia Mingwei looked at Mo Yuan and couldn't help but laugh at his wishful thinking.
“Mo Yuan, Junior Sister is right! Since you’ve made up your mind and the sect has made its decision, don’t change your mind so easily and make people look down on you!” The other disciples echoed Xia Mingwei’s words.
Mo Yuan clenched his fists. Of course, he didn't want to be like this, but he had suffered too much during this period, forcing him to lower his head.
Just then, Master Nanhua, who had been watching Mo Yuan, spoke up, "Mo Yuan, from the moment you decided to be with this woman from the Demon Realm beside you, our master-disciple relationship came to an end! As master and disciple, I will give you a few more words today! Cause and effect are cyclical, everything has its traces, and I hope you will live up to your decision back then!"
"Master, do you really not want your disciple anymore?" Mo Yuan shouted loudly to Nan Hua Zhenren as the group was about to leave, disregarding his pride.
"It's not that I don't want you, it's that you don't want me anymore! You severed our karmic ties with your own hands, and there will be no more connection between us! From now on, don't use the sect's name when you go out, or you'll bring disaster upon yourself! Here, I also wish you a smooth journey on your path of cultivation!"
After saying these words, Master Nanhua left with his disciples. As they departed, Xia Mingwei looked at Mo Yuan, who seemed utterly devastated, and almost burst out laughing.
Even after Xia Mingwei and her group had walked away, Mo Yuan still couldn't believe it, saying, "How could this be? How could I be abandoned?"
Bai Yaoyao wanted to put on a kind and understanding act to persuade Mo Yuan. "Brother Yuan, it's nothing serious, let's go!"
But at this point, this usually effective method failed to work.
"Get out! I don't need you to tell me what to do! It's all because of you that I was kicked out of the sect!" Mo Yuan realized that all of this was caused by Bai Yaoyao, and he vented his anger on her.
Bai Yaoyao looked at Mo Yuan in disbelief upon hearing his words. "Brother Yuan, I never thought you thought of me like that!"
A tear rolled down Bai Yaoyao's face; the scene was truly pitiful.
This sight finally touched Mo Yuan's heart. "Alright, Yao Yao, don't cry. I'm not blaming you!"
Bai Yaoyao's eyes filled with tears, "Really? Brother Yuan?"
After thinking for a moment, Mo Yuan nodded.
At this moment, the two of them, whose reason was temporarily clouded by their emotions, did not expect that the day when they would tear each other apart would come so soon!
This is actually quite normal. Mo Yuan felt that she had given up everything for Bai Yaoyao, while Bai Yaoyao was being blackmailed by this favor. Having lost his preferential treatment, Mo Yuan also lost the very quality that initially attracted Bai Yaoyao, and could no longer give her the love she desired. Due to differences in life, love, and cultivation, their relationship was bound to break down sooner or later; it was only a matter of time.
