You Expelled Me from the Sect, Now You’re Begging Me to Return—Why Should I?

Chapter 7:



Chapter 7: Ye Chen’s Selfish Scheme—How Could He Let Chu Ge Go? He Must Bring Him Back to Be Exploited!:

At that moment, Ye Chen let out a sigh.

“Actually, I’m not just worried about Senior Brother Chu’s safety. More importantly…”

He paused, as if hesitant to continue.

This deliberate hesitation immediately piqued the senior sisters’ curiosity.

“Little Junior Brother, what’s more important?” Fourth Senior Sister Zhao Xueqing asked curiously.

Seeing that someone had taken the bait, Ye Chen took a slow sip of Immortal Dew Wine before speaking again.

“It’s more important because of Master.”

“What does this have to do with Master?” The senior sisters were puzzled.

“But wasn’t Chu Ge expelled by Master herself?”

Ye Chen shook his head with a faint smile.

“On the surface, it seems like Master drove Senior Brother Chu out. But we all know what kind of person Master is. She is kind-hearted and benevolent, always treating every disciple with deep care. Would she really be willing to permanently exile Senior Brother Chu? There are two reasons why she expelled him. First, because he openly defied her, and she couldn’t let that slide in front of everyone. Second, she wanted him to cool off, take a break outside, and reflect on himself. In a few days, he will definitely regret his decision and return. After all, our Heavenly Dao Sacred Sect is rich in resources. Master is kind and considerate, and the sect values harmony among fellow disciples. Not to mention, this is where he grew up—how could he possibly stay away forever?”

Hearing Ye Chen’s analysis, the senior sisters found it quite reasonable. But the thought of Chu Ge coming back made them suddenly lose their appetite for the fine wines and delicacies before them.

Fourth Senior Sister looked displeased.

“Little Junior Brother, is Chu Ge really going to come back?”

Ye Chen nodded firmly and continued.

“Yes, Senior Brother Chu will return. And that brings several problems. First, if something happens to him while he’s outside, Master will be heartbroken. You wouldn’t want to see Master sad, would you?”

He glanced around.

The senior sisters immediately shook their heads in unison.

Master Yun Yao had always treated them so well—how could they bear to let her suffer any sorrow?

Ye Chen, satisfied with their reaction, pressed on.

“Second, the outside world doesn’t know that Senior Brother Chu has already left the sect. If he causes trouble out there, it will damage the sect’s reputation, and we’ll all be affected. Who knows what kind of rumors will spread behind our backs? So the most urgent matter is to find Senior Brother Chu, protect him, and once Master has calmed down a little, bring him back.”

Ye Chen knew that his senior sisters cared deeply about their reputation, so this reasoning would be easier for them to accept.

The senior sisters furrowed their brows, remaining silent for a while.

Finally, First Senior Sister Xie Qingya broke the silence.

“Then I should be the one to protect him. You all have other responsibilities in the sect, but since I only focus on sword training, I should have the most free time.”

She had a valid point. Second Senior Sister Chen Shiyun was in charge of alchemy for the sect. Third Senior Sister Xiao Biqin was a blacksmith, currently forging Ye Chen’s life-bound flying sword. Fourth Senior Sister Zhao Xueqing specialized in engraving formation disks, which were in high demand for disciples on missions. Fifth Senior Sister Lin Yuezhu was responsible for creating talismans—even with a team under her, the sect’s monthly consumption of talismans was astronomical. Sixth Senior Sister Zhou Zhilian was obsessed with celestial divination and preferred solitude, so she wouldn’t care much about finding someone. Seventh Senior Sister Qiu Luzhu managed spiritual beasts, another critical role in the sect.

Thus, Xie Qingya believed she was the best choice.

But this was not what Ye Chen wanted.

Sixth Senior Sister Zhou Zhilian was the best at divination—she would be far more efficient in finding Chu Ge. However, since Xie Qingya had volunteered first, he couldn’t reject her outright.

So he sighed and said,

“Unfortunately, Senior Brother Chu has already been gone for several hours. Searching for him in this vast world is no easy task.”

At these words, everyone turned to look at Sixth Senior Sister Zhou Zhilian.

“Then Sixth Junior Sister will have to go. Her divination abilities are extraordinarily precise, whether it’s predicting celestial movements or tracking people.”

Under normal circumstances, Zhou Zhilian would have refused immediately. Chu Ge’s life or death had nothing to do with her. But this request involved both Ye Chen and Master Yun Yao. Even though she wasn’t thrilled about it, she nodded in agreement.

“Fine. Once our gathering is over, I’ll find Senior Brother Chu and bring him back safely.”

Hearing her promise, Ye Chen felt relieved.

With Zhou Zhilian involved, no matter where Chu Ge went, he would be found.

Once Chu Ge returned, Ye Chen would nurture him a little—then exploit him again!

Smiling, Ye Chen stood up and raised his cup toward Zhou Zhilian.

“Then I must thank Senior Sister in advance.”

Zhou Zhilian smiled and waved it off.

“It’s rare that I can be of help to you, Junior Brother. This is what senior sisters should do.”

“Exactly, Little Junior Brother, don’t be so formal! You’re our precious junior brother!” Fourth Senior Sister Zhao Xueqing grinned.

Seventh Senior Sister Qiu Luzhu nodded in agreement.

“That’s right. There’s no need for thanks—we’re all family.”

After the small gathering, Zhou Zhilian returned to Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.

She picked up her Yin-Yang Mirror and attempted to divine Chu Ge’s location.

But to her surprise, the result was completely blank.

Frowning, she tried again.

The result was still blank.

This irritated her, and she attempted the divination seven times in a row.

Each time, the result was the same—nothing but emptiness.

Zhou Zhilian pressed her fingers against her forehead, deep in thought.

This had never happened before.

Could it be that the “Tian Kui” star cycle was affecting her predictions even more than usual?

Earlier, she had noticed the purple qi flowing westward and showing signs of dispersal.

Now, she couldn’t even track a single cultivator with no cultivation—and she had failed seven times in a row.

It seemed this time, Tian Kui was severely interfering with her divinations.

For now, she had no choice but to wait three days for the Tian Kui cycle to pass before trying again.

Although Chu Ge had no cultivation, as long as he didn’t act recklessly, he should survive for three days.

Thinking this, Zhou Zhilian decided not to dwell on it.

Setting down her Bagua Mirror, she went to rest.

Three days passed in a flash.

Chu Ge, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly floated into the air.

It was as if an invisible force was supporting him.

Above him, the three whirlpools had stopped absorbing the death-infused mist.

Instead, they now drew in pure spiritual energy, channeling it into Chu Ge’s body.

At this moment, his transformation into the Nirvana Divine Body was complete!
