Chapter 818: Chapter 821: Expelled from the Sect
In a rush to return and ask his master for help, Xue Eleven arrived at the gate of Medicine King Valley, only to hear his junior brother anxiously say, "Eleven Senior Brother, you’re finally back. The masters are asking for you in the front hall."
Upon hearing this, Xue Eleven’s eyes widened in shock, a bad feeling surged in his heart. His hand clenched slightly—had his outside medical treatment been discovered so quickly? Indeed, it couldn’t be concealed.
"Understood, I’ll go there now."
Xue Eleven walked inside, his mind racing with how to respond, and moments later, he finally reached the front hall.
As his foot stepped over the threshold of the front hall, he heard the furious roar of the Great Master, "Xue Eleven, you dare to come back."
Startled, Xue Eleven stumbled, tripped over the threshold, and fell flat on the ground.
Xue Eleven’s fall was akin to a dog eating dirt. He hurriedly got up, only to hear another angry shout from the Great Master, "You dare to get up."
The Great Master’s fiery temper was well-known, and Xue Eleven was so frightened that he knelt on the ground again, head down, not daring to look at the masters in the room.
The Great Master, still full of rage, slapped the table and stood up, "Xue Eleven, where did you get the audacity, huh? To break the rules of this Medicine King Valley, I don’t think you want to stay here any longer."
Kneeling there, Xue Eleven kept his head down, not daring to speak; it seemed the masters had indeed found out about him secretly treating that family of three.
"I see you don’t respect this Medicine King Valley, nor us old ones. If that’s the case, you should leave the mountain, leave this Medicine King Valley."
Hearing such cold words, Xue Eleven’s eyes widened, and he suddenly looked up. He hadn’t expected the punishment to be so severe, to the point of being expelled from the sect. He hurriedly kowtowed and pleaded, "Masters, Eleven was wrong, Eleven won’t dare again, please don’t expel Eleven from Medicine King Valley."
But Xue Eleven’s pleas did not earn the Great Master’s sympathy; he continued angrily, "A disobedient disciple like you, Medicine King Valley might as well do without."
This time, the Great Master was angrier than ever, and Xue Eleven, scared, knelt and crawled to the front of the Great Master, clutching his robe and pleading, "Great Master, Eleven was truly wrong, please don’t expel me, I beg you, Great Master."
No matter how Xue Eleven pleaded, the Great Master was unmoved. Xue Eleven crawled on his knees to his own master, tearfully saying, "Master, please plead with the Great Master for me, Eleven really doesn’t want to leave Medicine King Valley."
Xue Eleven’s master, the fifth and softest-hearted among the five masters in Medicine King Valley, shook his head and sighed, "Elder Brother, Eleven made a mistake this time, but it’s not enough to expel him from the sect. Could you punish him with something else, let him meditate facing the wall?"
The other masters also began to plead.
"Yes, Eleven is usually very obedient; spare him this time, let him meditate facing the wall."
"Yes, let him meditate facing the wall. If he does it again, expelling him won’t be too late."
"..."
"..."
But no matter how Xue Eleven pleaded or how the masters helped plead, the Great Master remained unmoved, determined to expel Xue Eleven from Medicine King Valley.
Seeing the Great Master’s unwavering attitude, Xue Eleven realized his decision would not change. He stood up, his face ashen, his eyes sharp, his thin lips parted slightly, "Great Master, I have done no wrong."
