Xie Jin Yan even clapped and cheered, coldly glancing at Qu Shan Shan, who was cowering in the corner. He said, "Junior Sister Yan, well done! People like Qu Shan Shan, who bully their fellow disciples all day long, deserve a good lesson. Now that you've figured it out, your senior sister and I won't have to worry about you being bullied after you go to the capital."

"Yes, Qingqing, you did very well this time." Yu Qingwu also nodded, saying approvingly.

Hearing this, Yan Qingqing, who had been a little apprehensive, immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She stepped forward, took Yu Qingwu's arm, and replied as they walked out, "Senior Sister, I thought... you would blame me."

"Blame you? Blame you for what? Blame you for fighting back? Or blame you for kicking her when she's down?" Yu Qingwu chuckled softly, not at all concerned about Qu Shan Shan's feelings. She gently patted Yan Qingqing's hand and said in a warm voice, "Qingqing, if someone has been persecuting you for a long time, it's not wrong for you to fight back, and there's nothing wrong with kicking them when they're down."

"People have to bear the consequences for their mistakes. If they dared to bully others in the past, they should have expected this day to come."

"Now that you've vented your anger, the knot in your heart will be untied, and you won't have to be tormented by nightmares anymore."

"As for the evildoer, she's only suffering less than one ten-thousandth of what you once endured, so there's nothing to feel wronged about."

"Besides, even if you don't kick her when she's down, others will. You reap what you sow. If she suffers retribution, she deserves it and should make the most of the days to come."

Yu Qingwu's words were ostensibly spoken to Yan Qingqing, but they also contained a veiled reprimand to Qu Shan Shan.

Qu Shan Shan wasn't a fool. Even though she was extremely frightened at the moment, her mind wasn't completely muddled. Naturally, she understood that Yu Qingwu's words were a warning to her.

Warning her not to think about seeking revenge on Yan Qingqing, warning her not to bully others anymore.

But... what was her fault? It was Yan Qingqing who was weak and cowardly in the first place. The law of the jungle prevailed, and those weak disciples should be bullied by her. Who could she blame if she couldn't fight back herself?

On the contrary, it was Yu Qingwu, that bitch. If she hadn't latched onto Xie Jin Yan, would it be her turn to show off here? She was just using her power to bully people, yet she pretended to be giving guidance.

Truly disgusting!

Looking at Yu Qingwu's condescending face, Qu Shan Shan couldn't help but clench her fists. In her eyes, which were filled with fear, a few traces of hatred, disdain, and unwillingness surged.

Just by looking at her expression, Yu Qingwu could tell what she was thinking.

Just a few words of reprimand, and she couldn't take it anymore?

Heh, when she was bullying others and 'teaching' her fellow disciples, why was she so confident?

Seeing Qu Shan Shan's expression, Yu Qingwu finally couldn't help but sneer. She called out to her, "Qu Shan Shan, I've only said a few words, and you can't take it anymore? You must be thinking that I'm just using my looks to please people and showing off my power by relying on His Highness the Crown Prince, right?"

Hearing this, Qu Shan Shan was stunned.

A trace of guilt flashed in her eyes, but her mouth was very stubborn. With a hint of defiance and fear, she retorted, "I... I didn't. Don't be so petty and think that everyone is like you. Today, you were the ones who bullied someone first, yet you're pretending to be virtuous. Yu Qingwu, you're so hypocritical!"

Jealousy and anger surged at the same time, and the fear in Qu Shan Shan's heart gradually dissipated.

The thought that Yu Qingwu would soon return to the capital to continue being the Crown Princess and continue to be glamorous, while she might not even be able to return home, made anger and hatred grow and spread wildly in her heart.

She suddenly staggered over, cursing at Yu Qingwu with bloodshot eyes.

"Yu Qingwu, you bitch! You've harmed me so badly, you'll be punished! You think you'll be successful just because you became the Crown Princess? Let me tell you, your background isn't even as good as mine! One day, when Xie Jin Yan gets tired of playing with you..."

*Crack!*

Seeing that Qu Shan Shan was about to utter foul language, a pair of hands suddenly grabbed her chin and dislocated her jaw again, which had not been in place for long.

The pain of the secondary dislocation was even more intense, and Qu Shan Shan immediately let out a pig-like howl.

While howling, under that face twisted in pain, her eyes were filled with disbelief. She stared in astonishment at Xie Jin Yan, who had dislocated her jaw, and said vaguely, "Xie Jin Yan... you hit me, you hit a woman, you..."

She trembled all over, already in too much pain to speak.

Xie Jin Yan slowly stood up, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped his hands. He sneered and glanced at her, "Qu Shan Shan, I never said I wouldn't hit women. I'm not a gentleman. Didn't you always know that? If I remember correctly, you used to think I liked you, so you even instigated me to poison Senior Sister, intending to ruin her appearance..."

"Someone as vicious as you deserves to be killed, let alone hit."

"Alright, just wait for your master, Xiao Yucheng, to come and put your bones back in place. But whether he will or not is another matter." Xie Jin Yan sneered, every word revealing malice.

Then, he pulled Yu Qingwu and said in a gentle voice, "Alright, A'Wu, someone like her will never admit her mistakes. There's no need for us to say anything more to her. Someone like her only dares to flaunt her power in the sect. Once she leaves the sect, even if her father doesn't kill her, someone else will take care of her."

After saying that, Xie Jin Yan pulled Yu Qingwu out the door.

With a loud bang, the door was closed, and Qu Shan Shan's shrill cry came from inside.

In the past, there would have been a few male disciples who would have come to 'sympathize' with her.

But now, they avoided her like the plague, afraid of getting involved with her.

In addition, from time to time, some disciples who had been bullied by her in the past would come to 'visit'. In the days to come, even if Qu Shan Shan survived, she would have to endure all kinds of torture and slowly suffer back all the pain she had inflicted on others.

"Senior Sister... do you think... we went a little too far?"

After leaving the room, Yan Qingqing, who had just been happy to have vented her anger, suddenly felt a little heavy-hearted.

She looked up at Yu Qingwu and Xie Jin Yan and said, "In the past, I always felt very uncomfortable when I was bullied. Now, Qu Shan Shan must be even more painful. She's already in such a state, and we still..."

"Still what? Still humiliating her?" Before Yu Qingwu could speak, Xie Jin Yan spoke for her, smiling and asking Yan Qingqing, "Did she ever humiliate you in the past? Were her humiliating remarks lighter than ours?"

"She did humiliate me, and she said very nasty things. Sometimes, she even burned my hair with fire." Yan Qingqing lowered her head, and a trace of pain flashed in her eyes as she recalled the past.

Xie Jin Yan smiled and replied, "That's it then? She brought it upon herself."

"Alright, let's go. Hurry back and pack your luggage. Tomorrow, follow your senior sister and me down the mountain."
