Chapter 2095: Chapter 2095: Why don’t you go on her behalf?

“This…”

Sect Master Xue was at a loss for words for a moment.

“Father, do you really believe that someone like the High Priest Demon Heart would allow other women to covet her husband?” Seeing that he was silent, Xue Jue continued to remind him.

“Are you being too naive, thinking that the High Priestess Demon Heart would spare Third Sister? Or do you truly not realize what kind of figure the High Priestess Demon Heart is within Wulong Mountain?”

“Jue’er, why do you seem to hold a grudge against your Third Sister?” Sect Master Xue, feeling helpless, looked at his son and asked.

Must he be forced to deal with his own daughter, his biological sister at that? Things shouldn’t have turned out this way—they were siblings, what grievances could there be?

“Heh.”

Xue Jue let out a sneer, his gaze serious as he looked at Sect Master Xue.

“Father, why not go ask, which disciple in the entire Tufeng Sect doesn’t feel resentful towards Xue Manyu? It’s only in front of you that they refrain from speaking ill of Xue Manyu, right?”

“Uh.”

Sect Master Xue was utterly speechless.

Having such a daughter, he really didn’t know what to say anymore—he could only grind his teeth in frustration!

“Then what do you think should be done to punish Manyu?” he asked.

“Dawn is approaching today, and by evening, send her to Reflection Cliff. That place is quite suitable for her,” Xue Jue pondered and said.

“Reflection Cliff? Isn’t that improper?”

Reflection Cliff is a place where disciples who have erred are sent to fend for themselves until their punishment period is over before they can be brought back.

Xue Manyu may have made a mistake, but she’s his daughter after all. How could she be sent to Reflection Cliff?

It was so blistering hot on that cliff, and Xue Manyu couldn’t even cook or do laundry. After being sent up there, what would become of her?

“I too find it inappropriate.”

Seeing his hesitation, Xue Jue nodded emphatically as if in agreement.

“What about this, you take the punishment for her? ‘Fathers bear the fault for untaught children,’ maybe if you take the punishment on behalf of Third Sister, High Priest Demon Heart might even be pleased to see it come to pass, no?”

He looked at his father with a chuckling smile, feeling his father was truly too deeply poisoned by Xue Manyu. Hadn’t he seen how she embarrassed herself in front of Master Qian?

And, with Xue Manyu’s temperament, he didn’t even need to guess; he was certain that she probably hadn’t given up hope even now while locked up in the Ancestral Shrine.

“Uh.”

Sect Master Xue became embarrassed and even a bit guilty.

“There’s no need for that. Manyu really went too far this time; just have her sent to Reflection Cliff to reflect on her actions,” he said.

He certainly didn’t want to go to Reflection Cliff himself. With High Priest Demon Heart in Tufeng Sect, he still needed to play the gracious host; he couldn’t just disappear.

“Tonight, let the Great Elder take Manyu to Reflection Cliff,” he declared.

Later today, he would select two maids to accompany Manyu to Reflection Cliff to look after her, so the Empress wouldn’t worry.

As for Sect Master Xue’s thoughts, Xue Jue was well aware; how could he not understand?

After talking with his father for a while longer and leaving the Literary Palace, he called over his attendant and whispered a few words into his ear.

“Young Sect Master, are you really going to do it this way?” The attendant raised an eyebrow, his heart blossoming with joy, but he still put on a troubled expression as he asked his master.

“Just play along!”

Xue Jue gave his attendant a disdainful glance, with a clear understanding in his heart.

Aside from his father, everyone in Tufeng Sect, one and all, couldn’t stand Xue Manyu. Now that she was about to be sent to Reflection Cliff, these people were probably so happy they could fly, weren’t they?
