Chapter 21, Forming Cliques and Factions
Bai Jin shifted his gaze away from Long-Eared Ding Guang. Long-Eared Ding Guang looked up at Bai Jin, his eyes faintly tinged with anger. What do you mean by looking at me?! Am I one who betrays his Master and ancestors?
Bai Jin continued, "Master has always doted on his disciples, and has been particularly lenient with them.
However, I must say this now: do not take Master’s favor as a license to indulge yourselves, as even if the Master does not punish you, as your senior brother, I will not let you off easily.
Before you joined our sect, you were all unrestrained and loved freedom, nobody governed you.
But after joining the sect, some habits need to be changed: consuming raw flesh and blood, using foul language, tendencies of killing, disrespecting hierarchy, once I discover any of these, I will immediately report to the Master and have you expelled from the sect."
All disciples from Upper Pure Peak stood solemnly and respectfully said, "Thank you for your instruction, senior brother, we dare not offend."
Satisfied, Bai Jin smiled and made a bowing gesture, "That is good, you are dismissed!"
All Outer Disciples returned the bow and then dispersed in small groups.
The corners of Bai Jin’s mouth curled into a barely perceptible smile. These Outer Disciples love freedom and unrestraint, don’t they? Now that I have imposed so many restrictions on them, certainly they will feel dissatisfied. Eventually, when one or two troublemakers emerge, I will strictly punish them, creating a situation leading to public outrage. Then the title of Outer Disciple Leader will surely be taken away by the Master, haha~ I’m indeed clever! Now I will go and pay respects to the Master and Elder.
