Therefore, Meng Qian could only look to Wang Ye and Lin Shuang, saying to them:

"You two go ahead first, I believe you can resolve this issue on your own."

After speaking, Meng Qian directly tore through space and left.

Fearing that Wang Ye might misunderstand, Lin Shuang explained:

"Elder Meng is not refusing to help you. The outsiders are all Sect Disciples. It would be inappropriate for Elder Meng to go."

"Moreover,"

"Elder Meng also intends to test you, to see how you would react in this situation."

The Ice Sect does not overly protect its disciples.

After all, what the sect cultivates are cultivators who must eventually stand on their own.

Not pampered darlings who can't take a single step forward without the sect's protection.

If the conflict is between those of similar status and realm, the Ice Sect maintains relative fairness and does not intervene.

But if the balance is lost, the elders of the Ice Sect will appear and decisively resolve these people with the force of thunder.

Whether they are Outer Sect Disciples, Inner Sect Disciples, or a Saint Heir like Wang Ye, the treatment in this regard is the same.

Even if he is a Saint Heir, without the ability to adapt to changes and face danger, he is just a wasteful good-for-nothing.

It's not only the Ice Sect.

In Spirit Star, many sects operate similarly.

Compared to Earth Star, some rules in Spirit Star are much more cruel.

"It's okay."

Wang Ye didn't mind too much and smiled, then said to Lin Shuang:

"Let's go then. I'd like to see what plots those people from the Cold Sect have."

The Cold Sect is in opposition to the Ice Sect.

Before Wang Ye even arrived at the Ice Sect, Wang Yifeng had already told him about these issues.

Moreover, the Cold Sect has done many excessively transgressive things behind the scenes to deal with the Ice Sect.

Of course, these issues are unknown to the outside world.

The Cold Sect always acts covertly.

If acting openly, the Cold Sect would surely find a legitimate reason before opposing the Ice Sect.

As a result, although the Cold Sect has always been excessive, to those outside, the Cold Sect appears to be the side that holds the truth.

The Ice Sect has not yet realized these issues.

But, now that Wang Ye has arrived, he will definitely lead the Ice Sect to turn the tide of the current situation.

After all, when it comes to being passive-aggressive, playing the blame game, Earth Star is much stronger than Spirit Star.

Even in insulting others, the people of Earth Star do not need to use swear words.

They just need to be passive-aggressive, with sentences that sound like compliments but can make the opponent feel utterly humiliated and immensely angry.

...

At the entrance of the Ice Sect,

Xu Pingzhi led a group of Cold Sect disciples, speaking righteously and sternly:

"Our Cold Sect, since its foundation, has been like a family with the Ice Sect, just like real brothers!"

Wang Ye, from a distance, heard the words from Xu Pingzhi's mouth.

He observed Lin Shuang, who, though cold-faced towards Wang Ye, had always made him feel warm and enthusiastic. Now, however, her face was completely covered with frost.

She made no attempt to hide her disgust for the people of the Cold Sect.

"The people from the Cold Sect, every time they come to Ice Sect, always find some seemingly honorable excuses, yet the outsiders all believe them. I really don't know how these people from the Cold Sect have the face to say these things."

"But it's effective, isn't it?"

Wang Ye retorted.

In the eyes of the Ice Sect, what the people down below said about them did not have much impact. However, what the Ice Sect didn't realize was that reputation sometimes represents a lot.

"You mean..."

From the smile and the look in Wang Ye's eyes, Lin Shuang seemed to understand something, yet she again felt confused, unable to sort out her thoughts.

"What I mean is that next, we can also use this method. We can't always let the Cold Sect position themselves on the side of justice but instead make the Cold Sect become the object everyone shuns."

Wang Ye spoke calmly, but behind that calmness, there was a firm strength.

"I'll listen to you."

A smile bloomed on Lin Shuang's face.

Since Meng Qian had discovered that Lin Shuang could smile, when Lin Shuang smiled now, she no longer needed anything else; it came naturally.

However, this smile still felt slightly stiff.

It would probably take seeing Meng Qian smile more often for her smile to become more natural.

As the two talked, Wang Ye and Lin Shuang came into view of others.

The people of the Ice Sect focused their gaze on Wang Ye and Lin Shuang, greeting them:

"Greetings, Saint Heir."

"Greetings, Senior Sister Lin."

Lin Shuang didn't feel upset about the disparity in the way the disciples of the Ice Sect addressed Wang Ye and her; she turned her beautiful eyes on Wang Ye.

She wanted to see how Wang Ye would resolve this issue.

Wang Ye stood at the forefront of the Ice Sect side while Lin Shuang and the disciples of the Ice Sect stayed slightly behind him, protecting Wang Ye.

They did this to prevent the people from the Cold Sect from suddenly attacking Wang Ye.

Though Wang Ye's strength had improved during this period, he was only a Mid-Tier Sixth Grade Cultivator. Compared to Xu Pingzhi, a Fifth-Rank Early Stage Cultivator, he was still somewhat inferior.

If Xu Pingzhi made a move against Wang Ye, Wang Ye would probably not be his match.

Xu Pingzhi assessed Wang Ye. His level was much higher than Wang Ye's, so he could easily discern Wang Ye's strength.

Upon discovering that Wang Ye indeed only had the strength of a Mid-Tier Sixth Grade Cultivator as rumored, Xu Pingzhi, whose heart had been in suspense, was finally relieved, and his tone contained a sense of righteousness, even friendliness:

"This person here is the Saint Heir of Ice Sect, Little Wang, right?"

While saying the word "right," Xu Pingzhi deliberately altered his voice, making it sound more like "Little Johnny."

The people around Xu Pingzhi caught the underlying meaning in his words, and they all started to laugh mockingly.

Frost instantly covered the faces of Lin Shuang and the other disciples of the Ice Sect.

Just as the disciples of the Ice Sect behind Wang Ye were about to speak up, Wang Ye waved his hand to silence them.

"Indeed, I am your daddy."

Wang Ye spoke with a smile.

Yet the words he uttered made Xu Pingzhi and the others frown abruptly, looking at Wang Ye with anger in their eyes.
