72 That Isn’t What a Righteous Cultivator Should Do (2/2)
Yang Wu Huang gritted his teeth. ”Indeed, Elder Baili is completely right. I'm afraid I was too emotional and didn't think things through well enough.”

Elder Baili nodded and then looked at Mei Chao Bing and Yun Bei Fen. ”Well, now that the issue has been cleared up, Yun Bei Fen won't be troubled by it. So thankfully, no harm has been done in that regard. But you have also troubled Mei Chao Bing with this.
”If he had indeed done anything untoward to Yun Bei Fen, then he naturally should have been held accountable for that. Such a bad deed would certainly also be announced to the public to warn other disciples and set an example.
”Still, that is something that shouldn't be determined by you. You should have reported what you heard to one of the Elders and then let us handle the situation to make sure whether the rumor is true or not. With how you've done this, you've also slandered him.” He took a pause and nodded at Mei Chao Bing.
”I certainly do not want to open old wounds but … since Yang Wu Huang has already brought it up, I should say something to this. It has already been several years since Mei Chao Bing's Master betrayed our Teng Yong sect. It is a day that many of us remember very well.
”We have lost one of our highly acclaimed Elders that day and it has made feel some people very insecure. Still, the traitor that day was Mei Chao Bing's Master, not Mei Chao Bing himself.
”We also investigated whether he was involved but Sect Master Zhang, as well as all the Elders of our Teng Yong Sect, have found that he was never involved in anything Elder Feng did. On the contrary, it was Mei Chao Bing who sounded the alarm on that day and alerted us to what was going on. He was fully cooperative with the investigation and we were able to discover several things only thanks to his help.
”The person that suffered the most from Elder Feng's betrayal was certainly Mei Chao Bing. The Teng Yong Sect might have lost one, no, two Elders but Mei Chao Bing lost his own Master. A person he looked up to and to whose teachings he listened for years, a person he regarded as a father figure that was supposed to guide him in his cultivation as well as in his life.
”He has lost that person and with him, his support in the sect and maybe he even lost his direction for a while. But he never strayed from the right way and was always committed to doing the right thing so he shouldn't have to lose the relationship with the other disciples or his home.
”Bringing this matter up again after such a rumor is irresponsible. From the day he joined our Teng Yong Sect, Mei Chao Bing has never broken any of our rules. He shouldn't be slandered like this by a fellow disciple.
”Yang Wu Huang, I ask you to apologize to him and then reflect on your behavior. The two of you are disciples of a righteous sect. Squabbling like this … that is not what a righteous cultivator should do.”
