After Becoming a Villain, the Fairies Regretted and Chased Me

Chapter 005: The List of Most Beautiful Fairies:

Xie Liuzhen remembered when she first met Song Ye. He had a gentle and refined look, a kind heart, and impressive cultivation potential. She had immediately decided to take him as her direct disciple.

Yet, she hadn’t anticipated that he would be so easily swayed by beauty, doing foolish things to pursue his favorite fairies.

Over the years, Song Ye had certainly let her down.

But he had qualities that other disciples didn’t.

He was attentive, considerate, and warm-hearted toward women, asking for nothing in return.

He even remembered that she liked her elixirs served at exactly 58 degrees.

Often, he would warm the elixirs for her, expecting no reward.

Others thought this was just flattery toward the Sect Master, but Xie Liuzhen knew otherwise.

If she hadn’t listened to Zhu Jian’s advice and given him that punishment, would he still have jumped into the Fallen Immortal Pool? Could he have stayed in the Heavenly Mystery Sect?

Could he have continued growing her (yanyan) cloud flowers and warming her elixirs?

At this moment, she couldn’t deny that she felt a twinge of regret, even guilt.

But it was too late for such thoughts.

The bond between her and Song Ye as master and disciple was now broken.

“Since Song Ye chose to jump into the Fallen Immortal Pool, this sect cannot keep him,” Xie Liuzhen stated coldly. “Expel him from the mountain immediately!”

“Sect Master, Song Ye has just lost all his cultivation in the Fallen Immortal Pool and is extremely weak. Perhaps we could let him rest in the sect for a while to recover before sending him away?” Xiao Qin pleaded.

Xiao Qin’s request was understandable, but Xie Liuzhen knew that she had to be firm with Song Ye now. She couldn’t allow any rumors to spread.

“No! He must leave the mountain immediately!” Xie Liuzhen replied decisively.

She then gathered her spiritual Qi, her voice resonating across the entire Heavenly Mystery Sect.

“Song Ye of the ‘Sword’ generation no longer deserves to be a disciple of this sect. He is hereby expelled from the Heavenly Mystery Sect!”

Song Ye, who had just climbed out of the Fallen Immortal Pool, heard her words echoing across the mountain.

He had anticipated this.

At this moment, his face was pale, and he looked as though he had aged 10 years.

Having his immortal veins removed had drained him, and his body was now weak from the effort of forming new demonic veins, further sapping his energy.

Barely able to walk, he staggered off the Fallen Immortal Platform and looked to the sky, shouting, “Brothers and sisters of the Heavenly Mystery Sect, I, Song Ye—am leaving!”

With that, he continued on his way, dragging his weary body.

The fairies of the Heavenly Mystery Sect watched him with pity, but no one stepped forward to help him.

It seemed that no one dared to associate with him anymore.

Under the gaze of the sect’s disciples, he walked down the mountain alone.

Once he was off the mountain, his first priority was to find a quiet place where he could fully absorb the Ancient Demon Forming Pill in his body.

There was a bamboo grove not far ahead. Deep within it was a small wooden hut he had built long ago, a secret place known to few. It would be perfect.

He made up his mind to go there.

…

(In the Sect Master’s Hall of the Heavenly Mystery Sect)

“Sect Master, Song Ye has left the mountain alone.” A disciple reported.

“Good.” Xie Liuzhen replied coldly.

She showed no sign of regret. “Someone, remove these seven pots of cloud flowers from the hall!”

She wanted to make it clear to everyone that these little gestures of flattery were worthless.

The Heavenly Mystery Sect’s atmosphere couldn’t be compromised by a single person’s actions.

“Sect Master!”

A voice, sweet as a nightingale’s song, came from outside the hall.

A moment later, a graceful figure entered.

Xie Liuzhen looked up and recognized her other personal disciple, Xie Qingshuang.

Xie Qingshuang was from the same clan and was famous for her beauty, having earned a spot on the list of the most beautiful fairies in the cultivation world, ranking seventh.

Xie Liuzhen herself was ranked third.

Both Xie Qingshuang and Song Ye were disciples of the “Sword” generation, and as she had joined the sect a few months earlier, Song Ye addressed her as “Senior Sister.”

Song Ye’s potential was actually on par with Xie Qingshuang’s, but his lack of focus on cultivation and his habit of giving away his monthly elixirs kept him lagging behind her.

Last year, Xie Qingshuang was selected by the Lingxuan Pavilion and became a “Lingxuan Cultivator.”

A Lingxuan Cultivator was an elite title within the Heavenly Mystery Sect and represented the sect’s most formidable force.

There was a saying among the martial world: “When the Lingxuan Cultivator appears, all is settled.”

In fact, the status of the Lingxuan Pavilion Master within the sect was almost equal to that of Xie Liuzhen, the Sect Master.

“Disciple Xie Qingshuang humbly requests that the Sect Master give Song Ye another chance and readmit him into the sect.” Xie Qingshuang said, kneeling on one knee.

Xie Liuzhen had guessed that Xie Qingshuang would come to plead for Song Ye.

After all, every month, Song Ye had given her his eight Condensing Essence Pills.

While Xie Qingshuang outwardly dismissed Song Ye’s efforts as flattery, she couldn’t deny that his generosity had helped her.

Her body was naturally cold, and the Condensing Essence Pills were the perfect aid for her cultivation. Since her monthly allowance wasn’t enough, Song Ye had given her his share as well.

Thanks to him, her cultivation had progressed rapidly.
