Chapter 256 256. Beating a dog always depends on its owner

Elder Tonghe's words may not seem like anything at first glance, but upon closer inspection, there are many problems.

First, he said that the disciple was straightforward, instead of saying that he was talking nonsense. In other words, Elder Tonghe was acknowledging that what his disciple said was right.

Secondly, he also took the initiative to ask Yi Fang to apologize to Jinjiu. This could be regarded as suppressing Jinjiu and preventing Jinjiu from taking advantage of the situation.

This guy is really a cunning old man!
If he were an ordinary person, he would probably just have to swallow this loss in silence, but Jin Jiu is not an ordinary person.

Seeing that Yi Fang was walking up to Jin Jiu with an unconvinced look on his face and was about to apologize reluctantly, Jin Jiu stopped him directly.

"If it's not a sincere apology, then there's no need for it. If it's a sincere apology, then there's no need for it either. I thought that everyone who could be here should have the ability to think for themselves and have outstanding abilities. It seems that I thought too much."

Jinjiu's words could be said to be a direct slap in the face of Elder Tonghe. After all, it was he who asked Yi Fang to apologize, and it is said that when beating a dog, you have to look at the owner. If Yi Fang is the "dog", then Elder Tonghe is the "master".

The reason why Yi Fang dared to say that just now was absolutely impossible without the tacit consent of Elder Tonghe.

The purpose of his doing so was undoubtedly to make Jinjiu choose Elder Tonghe as the commander. After all, once this incident happened, Jinjiu would have to vote for Elder Tonghe. As long as he chose Elder Huiyang, it would inevitably be regarded as a personal vendetta.

He was clearly provoked and insulted, but with a simple apology, not only did he let everything slide, but he also made Jinjiu suffer in silence and make a choice he didn't like. This was really a good calculation!

But Jinjiu is not willing to suffer this loss in silence.

"There is indeed danger ahead. I don't want anyone to hold me back, and I don't want anyone to use the command power obtained through crooked means to order me around. So I choose to act alone, so I will not participate in your vote. You can let whoever you want to command be the commander."

If we say that Elder Tonghe's previous behavior was relatively obscure, to put it simply it was moral kidnapping plus sarcasm. Although it was indeed disgusting, there was indeed no problem on the surface.

But now Jinjiu not only snatched their wishful thinking abacus away, but also smashed it to pieces, and even took off the abacus beads one by one.

Although doing so would easily leave her with a bad reputation of being uncultured and disrespectful to elders, Jin Jiu didn't care. She wasn't planning to have much contact with these people anyway, so what did she need this good reputation for?
Instead of pursuing this good reputation, it is better to cut the Gordian knot and get rid of these two troublesome things directly, tearing off their shamelessness and shamelessness layer by layer.

Although doing this may not necessarily convince the other party, it will definitely be enough to make them feel better, and by the way, it may even make the other party angry to death.

And this is indeed the case.

Both Yi Fang and Elder Tonghe were very angry.

But Yi Fang's behavior would be more obvious. After all, he and Jinjiu are of the same generation, and he was the one who instigated this matter in the first place.

But Elder Tonghe's anger was still concealed. Unlike Yi Fang, he was not only an elder of a large sect, but also a senior. Even if he could suppress the junior, there was no reason for him to take sides when his own disciple took the initiative to provoke trouble.

Even though what happened before was ugly, as long as no one said anything, it was still acceptable.

But now all his reputation has been stripped away. If he still wants to continue designing for Jinjiu or target Jinjiu, it is impossible to do so.

"Today..." Although the current situation is not favorable to Elder Tonghe, he has lived for decades after all, and these decades have not been lived in vain. At least he is thick-skinned enough and he has found a way to deal with it.

But he never expected that when he wanted to find Jinjiu to resolve the matter, he looked up and found that Jinjiu actually turned around and left!
She didn't even give herself a chance to explain or redeem herself!

This is simply not taking him seriously at all!
This realization made Elder Tonghe so angry that his face changed color.

What made him most angry was the performance of other people!

Because when Jinjiu left, Elder Fuyun and Elder Huiyang also left, along with Elder Huiyang's disciples and the three people who had supported Elder Huiyang before.

"You guys!" Elder Tonghe was so angry that his face turned blue.

Yi Fang also looked up at this time and saw that there were suddenly more than a dozen people missing around him. He was a little confused for a moment.

Because of the conflict just now, he had been keeping his head down after being scolded by Elder Tonghe. He just looked up when he heard his master's voice. However, when he looked up, he found that there was nothing in front of him. Jinjiu, who was supposed to be standing in front of him, had disappeared.

Moreover, when he looked around, he found that not only Jinjiu was missing, but also the other four elders were missing, along with their disciples and several other people.

There are only four people here now, Elder Tonghe, Yi Fang, and two people without any sect or affiliation.

Jin Jiu, who had already left, didn't care what Elder Tonghe and Yi Fang would think, nor was she interested in knowing what they would do. She just left alone and found that a lot of people followed her. This was a little beyond her expectations and even speechless.

Because she didn't expect anyone to follow her from the beginning, and even thought it would be better to act alone. She thought that what had just happened would make these people act on their own, but she didn't expect these people to follow her.

"Are you sure you want to follow me?" Jin Jiu asked with a frown.

No one else said anything, only Elder Fuyun smiled and said, "You are the disciple of our ancestor, and you are also my ancestor in terms of seniority. Naturally, I have to follow you."

Elder Fuyun’s words shocked everyone - did they hear it wrong?

Jinjiu is actually the disciple of the ancestor of Xuanfang Sect?

Is this true or false?

If anyone else said this, no one would believe it.

But the person who just said this was Elder Fuyun!
He is the most powerful elder in Xuanfang Sect!
She is also the senior sister of the current leader of Xuanfang Sect!

Even if they suspected someone else, they would never suspect Elder Fuyun, because in their eyes, Elder Fuyun and Xuanfang Sect were directly tied together, and Elder Fuyun's attitude represented the attitude of the entire Xuanfang Sect.

It is precisely because of this that even though everyone finds it hard to believe, they still accept this fact... After accepting this fact, they finally understand why Elder Fuyun is so supportive of Jinjiu. After all, although Jinjiu is not the ancestor of Xuanfang Sect, he is almost the same as the ancestor.

"If you want to follow, then follow."
