Chapter 24: The North Has a Peerless Beauty
"Good, very good, these are the talents nurtured by our Qingyun Martial Arts Hall. You have indeed not let me and the Master down. Even a seven-year-old girl knows to distinguish right from wrong, and to admit her mistakes proactively, yet you are not even as good as a little girl. What is the use of keeping you here? Hand over the money and return it to the people. From now on, find your own path, Qingyun Martial Arts Hall will no longer keep you."
Hearing this, the disciples were shocked and immediately knelt down.
"Senior Brother, we all realize our mistake, please forgive us this time."
"Master, please don’t expel us from the school."
He Ziyun sighed softly.
"There’s no need to plead with me. This trip to Beijing, I’ve already passed the position of Martial Arts Hall Master to your Senior Brother. Originally, I wanted to tell you today, but I didn’t expect... How to handle this matter is now fully entrusted to your Senior Brother."
"Senior Brother..."
There was another chorus of pleas.
At this moment, Ling Chen, who was observing, noticed that Ye Liangyong was casting a pleading glance at him. Smart as he was, he immediately understood. Ye Liangyong didn’t really want to drive these disciples away, but instead wanted to use this opportunity to establish his own authority. The time was almost ripe; it was about time for him to provide a way out.
Thinking this, Ling Chen cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Ye, to know one’s mistake and to correct it is the greatest virtue. Everyone makes mistakes, and they should not be defined by one fault. My suggestion is to give them another chance and judge them based on their future performance."
