The importance of reputation can be said to be related to the long-term prosperity or decline of a sect.
This is also the reason why the high-ranking members of the Xuanji Sect were so furious when they saw the third piece of news. The first two pieces of news they could still treat as a spectacle, but the third piece directly concerned every member of the Xuanji Sect.
The atmosphere was much more serious than before. The Sect Master, Qing Jing Wanderer, personally questioned Li Ruyu on several points.
Unfortunately, no answers were obtained, as Li Ruyu herself was utterly confused.
The high-ranking members also knew that this matter might not have much to do with Li Ruyu; someone might be using her name to attack the Xuanji Sect.
This is because all three newspapers were dated a month ago and did not match the current time of Li Ruyu's punishment unless someone had anticipated this in advance.
