Xiao Jingyan smiled slightly. "Tomorrow is the day of the Good Show."
She turned to Xu Ming. "Master Xu, please keep this a secret."
Xu Ming nodded seriously. "Rest assured, Master Xiao, I won't let out a word."
Xiao Jingyan nodded in satisfaction and then looked at me. "Shanshan, we should head back now. Tomorrow, you'll have your chance to shine."
I silently nodded and followed Xiao Jingyan out of the secret room.
On the way back to our residence, the images I had just seen replayed in my mind.
Xiao Yifeng... Lu Xueyao... the Demon Lord... these three seemingly unrelated names were actually so closely connected.
"Shanshan?" Xiao Jingyan's voice interrupted my thoughts.
I came back to reality and realized we had already returned to our residence. "Sorry, Master Xiao, I was lost in thought."
Xiao Jingyan shook her head. "No need to apologize. I know you're feeling overwhelmed right now. Get some good rest. Tomorrow, there are more important matters awaiting us."
I nodded and turned to head back to my room.
"Shanshan." Xiao Jingyan suddenly called out to me.
I turned to look at her, and saw a gentle smile on her face. "Remember, no matter what happens, you are not alone."
My eyes suddenly felt a bit moist. "Thank you, Master Xiao."
Back in my room, I lay on the bed but couldn't fall asleep.
My mind kept replaying everything that had happened today: Xiao Yifeng's background, Xiao Jingyan's attitude, the upcoming Good Show...
I opened my eyes to the faint morning light outside. The shock and confusion from last night surged back like a tide, but I knew today would be a crucial day.
After getting dressed, I took a deep breath and pushed open the door. Xiao Jingyan was already waiting in the courtyard, her expression serious yet resolute.
"Are you ready, Shanshan?" she asked softly.
I nodded, a glimmer of determination flashing in my eyes. "Yes, Master Xiao."
We walked in sync towards the Xiaoyao Sect Master's hall. Along the way, I could feel a tense atmosphere hanging in the air.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have gathered you all today to discuss important matters concerning our sect," Xiao Jingyan's voice was cold yet firm.
As we reached the entrance of the hall, I heard Xiao Zhiyuan's furious roar from inside. "On what grounds do you expel me from the sect! The Xiaoyao Sect is not yours to decide alone!"
Xiao Jingyan let out a cold laugh and pushed open the door. "Is that so? Then tell me, who should have the final say in the Xiaoyao Sect?"
"Everyone, I have gathered you here today to discuss a matter of great importance to our sect," Xiao Jingyan's voice was cold and firm.
Xiao Zhiyuan and Lu Xueyao turned around in shock, caught off guard. Xiao Yifeng sat quietly to the side.
Lu Xueyao hurried forward, her face filled with grievance. "Sect Leader, you misunderstand. Brother Zhiyuan has worked tirelessly for the sect over the years, day and night. How can you say he should be expelled?"
Xiao Jingyan shot her a cold glance. "Lu Xueyao, do you still have the face to speak up for him?"
I stood behind Xiao Jingyan, watching everything unfold with a detached gaze, though my heart churned with complex emotions.
Xiao Zhiyuan glared angrily. "Xiao Jingyan! You will not drive me away! I have devoted half my life to this Xiaoyao Sect!"
"Devotion?" Xiao Jingyan scoffed. "Is your so-called devotion nothing but betrayal of the sect and collusion with the demon clan?"
At these words, an uproar erupted in the hall. The other Masters changed color, looking at Xiao Zhiyuan in disbelief.
Xiao Zhiyuan's face turned pale. "You... what nonsense are you spouting!"
Lu Xueyao panicked as well. "Sect Leader, you cannot slander someone without evidence!"
