Actually, the mistakes Lin Jian made were not as simple as merely confessing his feelings to his master; he had done far worse. Under normal circumstances, this guy would have been expelled from the Shushan Sword Sect long ago. However, he was simply too talented; the sect couldn't bear to cast him out, so they threw him into the Siguo Cliff to be locked away in confinement instead.
To say nothing else, being able to repeatedly thrash a Dan Condensation Realm deacon while only at the Tianyuan Realm, Lin Jian was the only monster of his kind in the entire Shushan Sword Sect. Who would be willing to expel such a genius? If Lin Jian hadn't been confined at Siguo Cliff during the previous Shushan Sword Discussion, Jiang Poyue of the Kunlun Sword Sect would never have had the chance to steal the spotlight. Even though Jiang Poyue had reached the Dan Condensation Realm, if Lin Jian had stepped up, Jiang Poyue would still have been brought to his knees!
It seems that the more talented a person is, the more of a troublemaker they become, and the harder they are to tame. This seems to have become an indescribable law of nature.
