Chapter 1198: Chapter 1097: Lin Mengbing’s Decisiveness
Although she had already made up her mind, she didn’t act immediately. At this point, she wouldn’t alert the enemy.
At least she wanted to see why her disciples would betray her, so she temporarily put this matter aside.
She just walked into the tent with Su Miaoying.
"Uncle, what’s going on?" Su Miaoying hadn’t slept well these past few days.
"Miaoying, it’s fine, get ready, we’ll set out shortly. It would be a pity if someone else gets there first." Lin Mengbing thought of her junior niece being Qin Shoujian’s fiancée and decided to keep it a secret for now.
If it were to get out, the person might escape, and by then, there would be no way to react.
Ever since she discovered she had broken through to the Immortal Emperor Realm, her mindset had completely changed.
Currently, her cultivation was the highest in the entire Tea Sect.
Now she was feeling elated, who would’ve thought that misfortune could turn into a blessing, allowing her to advance in cultivation rapidly, even bypassing the celestial tribulation. The reason was simple; Tang Feng had given her a Breakthrough Pill.
Moreover, she carried many Immortal Pills with her; she had seen only three before, but now she possessed no less than a thousand, all in the Immortal Emperor Realm.
This was all thanks to Tang Feng’s help in boosting her cultivation.
As an elder of the Tea Sect, she feared she couldn’t always follow Tang Feng, so he gave her many treasures for self-preservation.
For example, a top-grade Immortal Sword, the tea classics, a Protective Talisman, and two Immortal Emperor Realm Immortal Puppets.
Returning to the garrison, she still hadn’t fully come to her senses; everything seemed like a dream to her, fearing that once she awoke, it would all vanish without a trace.
However, reality told her that everything was genuinely different now.
This was no dream; the man who took her was probably an Emperor Realm powerhouse.
From the time she joined the Tea Sect, she never intended to marry, but who knew how unpredictable life could be? Fortunately, she found a powerful man who could provide protection.
Yet, such days might not last long; he would surely leave, and maybe she was just one among his many women. But so what? She had gained a lot now; one must know contentment and not be too greedy.
If not for Tang Feng, she would already be dead.
If it was indeed Qin Shoujian who plotted against her, she would never let that brat off.
Two days later, the Tea Sect disciples arrived at the ice mountain.
Seeing the vast white mountainous area, many female disciples wanted to retreat.
Those who had lost their purity couldn’t resist the extreme cold on the mountain, but for Lin Mengbing, it didn’t matter. As someone in the Immortal Emperor Realm, such extreme cold couldn’t harm her.
Soon, among the female disciples, three started shivering uncontrollably.
No way!
Three female disciples had actually lost their purity. Lin Mengbing was quite shocked and also felt very angry.
How could her disciples end up like this? It was simply unbelievable.
She usually cared enough for them, and in the sect, there were no men, nor did they secretly leave the mountain to meet other men. All this was under her supervision because she considered herself responsible for her disciples.
What nonsense? She couldn’t figure it out.
"Miaoying, take them up first and be careful. If you can’t go up, just come back. There’s no need to take unnecessary risks."
"Alright, Uncle." Su Miaoying wasn’t experienced and didn’t know that the three junior sisters had already lost their virginity.
She led nearly a hundred junior sisters flying towards the ice mountain.
Lin Mengbing came to the three disciples, her face expressionless but deeply hurt inside. These were the carefully selected elite disciples of the sect, their future promising.
"You should know why this happened, right?" Lin Mengbing said painfully.
"Master, we were wrong." The three women knelt down, not expecting to be discovered after just a few days.
"Speak, who was it?"
"Young Sect Master Qin."
"Senior sister, what are you saying? Were you with Young Sect Master Qin?" The color of the two female disciples beside her changed at these words.
"Yes, he said he would marry me."
Heavens!
We were all deceived; that bastard said the same to us.
The two women cried upon hearing this.
"Master, I disappointed you, I was the one who drugged us, believing that bastard’s words." A female disciple crawled to Lin Mengbing, continuously kowtowing.
She was originally a humble Xiao Xian, fortunate enough to enter the Tea Sect and be chosen by Lin Mengbing, changing her fate to become an elite disciple.
Who knew she would ruin such a good life with her own hands.
"Nothing more needs to be said; from this moment, you are no longer my disciples, take care of yourselves." In the end, she couldn’t bring herself to be ruthless.
"Master, please don’t abandon us; we know our mistakes." The three women kept kowtowing.
But Lin Mengbing would not change her mind; one can be naive, but some actions are irrevocable.
"You should learn to grow. This might not be your fault, but forgetting my teachings is your choice. Since you have your pursuits, live your lives, even if I acknowledge you again, you can’t return to the sect." Lin Mengbing sighed.
"Master, what should we do?"
Lin Mengbing also pitied them, but for this matter, she felt powerless, "Go, the Immortal Realm is vast, there’s always a place for you."
"Master, take care." Seeing no hope, the three women knelt and kowtowed again heavily.
"Go." Lin Mengbing wasn’t utterly heartless, giving each of them one of her Immortal Swords before turning and flying towards the mountain.
Master!
The three wept bitterly.
Afterward, the three talked and realized they were all deceived by Qin Shoujian, deciding to seek revenge.
After all, leaving the sect was tantamount to death.
The trio decided and left the ice mountain.
Little did they know that soon after they left, Qin Shoujian arrived at the ice mountain with the sect’s experts.
Although he knew there might be something on the ice mountain, since the Tea Sect people came, something must have been discovered.
"Young Sect Master, are you sure the Tea Sect people are up there?"
"Absolutely, Great Elder." Qin Shoujian nodded confidently, having used his charms to gain quite reliable information.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Qin Shoujian was secretly pleased. With the Great Elder taking action, the harvest this time might be substantial; the ice mountain surely wasn’t just a mine.
What it is has to be seen to be known.
As the Great Elder prepared to go up the mountain, he noticed Qin Shoujian was reluctant to go.
"Great Elder, I remembered I have some unfinished business; you all go ahead. Just follow them, and there will be gains." After saying this, he turned and quickly left.
The Great Elder didn’t expect that Qin Shoujian stayed away due to safety concerns and had sensed the whereabouts of the three women.
The tracker found them relatively close, so he went over; this kid wasn’t entirely malicious.
The three women were indeed in a bad situation, feeling weak after leaving the ice mountain’s base, in urgent need of a place to rest.
Unexpectedly, they were kept by a group of people.
Then, they were surrounded by a dozen men, some of whom even laid hands on them.
"Get lost!"
As a man, Qin Shoujian naturally couldn’t stand seeing the three women being taken advantage of, so he couldn’t help but intervene.
