Chapter 157 Will
"What kind of awful world is this? I want to go home."
The young boy, whose forehead was red and swollen, was sweating profusely and muttering to himself.
Yun Ci was already fair-skinned, but now her little face was completely pale with fright.
Feeling his clothes being grabbed, Immortal Venerable Jiqing lowered his eyes to look at the little boy in his arms.
His eyes conveyed emotions that others couldn't understand.
"Okay, let's go home."
Chu Ziming looked at the red and swollen patch on Yun Ci's fair forehead with heartache.
The pent-up frustration, self-blame, heartache, and sadness...
A mix of complex emotions brought tears to the boy's eyes.
Chu Ziming wiped away his tears with his sleeve, gripped Yun Ci's arm tightly, and pulled Yun Ci into his arms. He looked up and met a pair of indifferent, disdainful eyes.
Although Chu Ziming disliked Immortal Venerable Jiqing and his few scoundrel disciples.
But this time, it was Immortal Venerable Jiqing who saved Yun Ci.
If it weren't for Immortal Venerable Jiqing, Yun Ci probably wouldn't have come out so quickly.
Chu Ziming pursed his lips, "Thank you, Immortal Venerable Jiqing, for saving Yun Ci. Yun Ci wants to go home now, so I will take her back first."
As he spoke, Chu Ziming tightened his grip slightly.
But the tall, handsome man seemed to have no intention of letting go of the young boy in his arms.
Immortal Venerable Jiqing held Yun Ci in his arms, his indifferent eyes shifting from Yun Ci to Chu Zimo.
But it was just a glance.
That gaze that looks down upon all things, that gaze from the summit of a high mountain...
Chu Ziming froze on the spot.
The Immortal Venerable Jiqing, with an indifferent expression, carried the person away...
Chu Ziming realized what was happening, clenched his fists, and chased after them.
......
The immortal, dressed in pure white, carried the young boy in his arms to that familiar room.
The room was serene and elegant, with a refreshing scent reminiscent of snow on a high mountain or a snow lotus in the snow.
It smells wonderful, but it's a rare find in the world.
The Immortal Venerable Jiqing placed the person in his arms onto the bed.
As soon as I put it down, the hem of my clothes was grabbed tightly.
The man reached out his long, slender hand and gently wiped the cold sweat from the boy's forehead, while avoiding the red, swollen area. His expression remained cold and indifferent.
"Be good, I won't leave."
Yun Ci still did not loosen her grip.
Even now, the young boy is still sweating profusely, his heart filled with fear and despair, unconsciously clutching anything that makes him feel safe.
The boy was trapped in a nightmare, unable to even cry, and unconsciously shook his head.
His face looked extremely frightened.
Immortal Venerable Jiqing kept wiping the sweat from the young boy's face and comforting him, sitting by the bedside with the frightened boy.
When Yun Ci is feeling better.
Immortal Venerable Jiqing took out a box of something resembling a medicinal ointment and applied the ointment to the red and swollen areas on the young boy's forehead and palms with his slender hands.
Those indifferent eyes seemed to be lost in thought.
......
The meeting hall.
Sect Leader Cangxuan sat at the very top.
Elders, peak masters, hall masters, and protectors... sat below.
It was already dark outside, and most of those who had come at this time were just there to see what was going on.
The Beast Taming Peak Master and the Spirit Plant Peak Master, who were fighting just moments ago, are now sitting in their respective seats.
Peak Master Li looked as if nothing had happened.
His expression was angry, but also tinged with worry.
Xiao Yunci should be alright by now.
Peak Master Qi is different.
There was a dark circle around his right eye, which meant he had been beaten. He also looked unwell due to the backlash, and his clothes were stained with blood.
Everyone speculated that Peak Master Qi had been beaten up by Peak Master Li.
Peak Master Qi felt extremely humiliated; he had never lost face like this before!
He glared at Peak Master Li with hatred.
If he hadn't been weakened by the backlash, and if Li Chuan hadn't taken advantage of his vulnerability to ambush him, how could he have been disfigured?
The leader of a peak was actually humiliated.
No face or dignity left!
Peak Master Qi was too ashamed to accept this, so he planned to use wood elemental power to heal him.
But more than losing face, the injuries on his face were irrefutable evidence, and he wanted the sect to punish Peak Master Li.
Thinking of this...
Peak Master Qi, sporting dark circles under his eyes and looking furious, stood up, walked to the center of the hall, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and looked up at Sect Leader Cang Xuan.
"Sect Leader, mutual harm is forbidden within the sect! The Beast Taming Peak Master disregarded sect rules and barged into my Spirit Plant Peak Master's Hall, launching the first attack. If I hadn't intervened, our sect's disciples would have been the ones injured or killed. Not only that, Peak Master Li took advantage of my backlash to kill me. Sect Leader, the Beast Taming Peak Master must be punished!"
After he finished speaking, the elders, fairies, and hall masters in the main hall began to whisper among themselves.
"Sects certainly forbid infighting, and as the head of a peak, one must set an example and cannot afford to make mistakes..."
"Yeah yeah....."
Everyone was talking.
Even the head of the Enforcement Hall, who was always fair and impartial and on good terms with Li Fengzhu, fell silent.
Sects are indeed forbidden from killing each other.
This has been the rule for thousands of years.
Sect Leader Cang Xuan listened to Peak Master Qi's words.
He remembered how Chu Ziming had rushed over to beg him to save Yun Ci...
He recalled the wound on Xiao Yunci's forehead and his delirious state when Ji Qing carried the young disciple out of the house...
The strong and valiant Peak Master Li couldn't stand it anymore.
He stood up abruptly, strode over, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and looked at Sect Leader Cang Xuan sitting above him.
"Sect Leader, I admit that my actions were inappropriate!"
However, Qi Zhi took away the sect disciples, disregarded Xiao Yunci's wishes, imprisoned her, and arbitrarily punished her. This behavior was truly excessive!
As he spoke, Peak Master Li's anger flared even more.
Thinking of that well-behaved and adorable little disciple.
How could Qi Zhi, that heartless guy, have the heart to lock Xiao Yunci up!
Hear the words.
Sect Leader Cangxuan, Fairy Qingyun, Head of the Enforcement Hall...
And previously, after learning that Yun Ci was Elder Huaiyuan's grandson, I went to give Yun Ci gifts and met all of Yun Ci's elders.
Thinking of that pretty, delicate-faced little disciple who smiled sweetly at them.
Looking at Peak Master Qi, she couldn't help but feel a hint of resentment in her eyes.
Peak Master Qi looked at Peak Master Li and snorted.
They didn't think they were wrong at all.
"What do you know? I'm thinking about the future of the sect. Yun Ci has a top-grade wood spirit root, so she should come to our Spirit Plant Peak!"
Yun Ci was his personally taught disciple.
What's wrong with him disciplining his disobedient disciple?
Besides, he didn't punish his disciple; he just put him in solitary confinement.
If it were any other disciple, he would have sent them to the Cliff of Repentance long ago!
boom!
Bang!
boom!
Upon hearing this, all the elders, peak masters, fairies, hall masters, and others present were shocked.
Even the usually unpredictable Sect Leader Cang Xuan showed a great shock on his handsome face.
One of the elders even stood up, his eyes wide with excitement, and asked, "A top-grade wood spirit root? Is that really true?"
A top-grade wood spirit root! A genius that appears only once in a thousand years.
These are treasures of all sects!
The other people who had lived for hundreds or thousands of years also looked at Peak Master Qi with burning eyes and heavy breathing.
Seeing this, Peak Master Qi looked smug and was about to speak—
"Hmph! Did you even ask Xiao Yunci's opinion?"
Peak Master Li snorted coldly and asked.
