Chapter 33 Enforcement Hall + Competition
As soon as Yun Ci entered, he found the atmosphere inside the main hall of the Law Enforcement Hall to be solemn, and the oppressive aura inside made him feel a little breathless.
What's going on with this feeling that's a bit scary?
He'll be fine if he tells the truth, right...?
Yun Ci looked up at the top and was immediately stunned by the person in white robes standing next to the sect leader.
So ethereal, so incredibly beautiful.
Clad in pristine white, with an indifferent expression, he sat beside the sect leader...
Yun Ci quickly lowered her head.
Isn't this the master of the protagonist?
Everyone returned to their places.
Sitting at the top, Sect Leader Cang Xuan looked down at Yun Ci and said, "Yun Ci, Zhang Zijing's injury is said to have been caused by you, and Wen Miao can testify to this. Is this true?"
The sect leader spoke calmly, but every word was clearly transmitted to every point in the hall.
Before Yun Ci could speak, Wen Miao looked at Yun Ci gently and said, "Yun Ci, as long as you obediently admit your mistake, I believe the sect will punish you leniently. This time, it's just to remind you not to hurt your fellow disciples again next time."
I can forgive you for hurting me last time, but I can't hide the fact that Zhang Zijing has more than ten fractures all over his body.
Although I like you very much, I don't want you to make any more mistakes. Please don't blame me, okay?
As she spoke, Wen Miao's expression was pleading, and she seemed to be on the verge of tears from self-reproach.
Yun Ci looked at him strangely. "The sect leader is asking me a question. Why are you interrupting?"
Wen Miao burst into tears, "You still resent me, don't you? I'm sorry, Yun Ci, I didn't want to say it, but Zhang Zijing is so pitiful."
Gu Yan glared angrily at Yun Ci.
His junior brother was doing it for his own good, but he actually blamed his junior brother for interrupting.
Yun Ci looked puzzled. "How do you know so much? Did you see it with your own eyes last night?"
Wen Miao nodded immediately, "I did see it, I wouldn't lie."
"So you were with Zhang Zijing all night?" Yun Ci asked Wen Miao.
Wen Miao hesitated for a moment this time, then nodded, "I..."
"Then you should know why Zhang Zijing barged into my yard yesterday, right?" Yun Ci stared directly at the protagonist.
Wen Miao choked up.
Gu Yan knew that he wanted the Dark Yellow Hippo Beast, but he couldn't directly say that he wanted the Dark Light Hippo Beast.
How should I put it?
Wen Miao's expression showed a moment of panic.
Elder Huaiyuan smiled and said, "Yun Ci, just tell me what happened."
It means I'll take charge for you.
Yun Ci smiled at Elder Huaiyuan, then looked at Sect Leader Cangxuan, "Sect Leader, last night I had just finished eating in the courtyard when Zhang Zijing barged in, trying to snatch the Dark Light Hippo Beast."
He attacked me when I disagreed. I blocked it with my defensive pet. The situation was urgent, and he tried to attack again. My contracted beast swung its claws to protect me.
As for why I stole the Darklight Hippopotamus, I think it was for Wen Miao.
Yun Ci looked at Wen Miao's flustered expression and tilted her head, saying, "Wen Miao, you must want the Darklight Hippo Beast. Zhang Zijing must have snatched it for you. Your senior brother must know that you want the Darklight Hippo Beast."
As she spoke, Yun Ci looked at the red-haired boy inside the main hall.
In the novel, the protagonist will ask his senior brothers and his admirers for whatever he wants.
They openly robbed it last night; he doesn't believe the protagonist doesn't want the Dark Light Hippo Beast.
Gu Yan was stunned.
He wanted to say he didn't know, but when he met Yun Ci's clear eyes, he opened his mouth but said nothing.
but...
"Junior Brother would never have instructed Zhang Zijing to rob it."
Yun Ci's expression was mocking.
You idiot. How could the original owner have thought this kind of senior brother was so good?
Gu Yan's eyes widened.
Yun Ci actually looked at him with that kind of gaze.
Gu Yan felt a pang of sadness in his heart, and he tried hard to suppress that strange feeling.
The Immortal Venerable Jiqing looked indifferently at the small boy in the main hall.
Wen Miao denied it, "Yun Ci, I know you hate me, what evidence do you have that I instructed you to do this?"
Yun Ci rolled her eyes, seemingly forgetting that she was inside the main hall of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Those above, seeing the little boy below rolling his eyes, actually found it rather cute.
"You just admitted that you've been with Zhang Zijing all this time. Going to the back mountain late at night, if it wasn't for the Dark Light Hippo Beast, what was it for?"
Furthermore, if you say it's not for the Darklight Hippopotamus, then swear on your inner demons, do you dare?
Wen Miao was stunned. "I, I, I..."
He quickly thought of what to say, but he was still a 16-year-old boy, and his mind wasn't as complicated as it would be later.
The sect leader immediately understood what was going on.
Wen Miao immediately knelt down, looking at Immortal Venerable Jiqing with teary eyes, "Sect Leader, Master, I didn't mean to. I didn't know that was where Yun Ci lived. I only asked Zhang Zijing to inquire whether we could exchange it for other treasures. I had no idea that Zhang Zijing was going to steal it."
Yun Ci pouted, "You didn't dare to swear on your inner demons, so you already knew, and maybe it was all in cahoots. And why are you changing the subject?"
Wen Miao really didn't dare.
He also
The Immortal Venerable Jiqing looked down at the people below and said, "Three months at the Cliff of Repentance. If it happens again, go to another sect."
His tone was cold, leaving no room for negotiation.
Wen Miao suddenly looked up, her expression terrified.
Gu Yan was also startled by Immortal Venerable Jiqing's words, "Master..."
Yun Ci clicked his tongue when he saw this scene.
Hiss, would Immortal Venerable Jiqing really drive away the protagonist? He just doesn't believe it.
Seeing that Immortal Venerable Jiqing was personally punishing his disciple, no one said anything more.
Wen Miao looked at Yun Ci with teary eyes, her expression filled with resentment.
It's all Yun Ci's fault! Why won't she admit it? If she had just admitted it, wouldn't it have been better?
Yun Ci blinked. "Aren't you going to pretend anymore?"
The elders and peak masters on the high seats all saw Wen Miao's expression and secretly shook their heads.
This disciple's temperament...
The Immortal Venerable Jiqing's gaze grew increasingly cold.
Wen Miao realized what was happening and tried to hide the resentment in her eyes. "Sect Leader, Yun Ci's contracted beast has also harmed the sect's disciples. This kind of contracted beast is too dangerous and will harm others in the future."
I accept the punishment willingly; I request that Yun Ci's contracted beast be executed.
Gu Yan looked at Wen Miao, who had said such words without hesitation, with an expression of disbelief.
His junior apprentice would never say such a thing.
"Hmph! I never knew that Immortal Venerable Jiqing's good disciple was so vicious." A tall and strong young man above said with a stern face.
His gaze was deep, and his face clearly showed displeasure.
As the peak master of Beast Taming Peak, I spend every day with all kinds of spirit beasts. How could I hear others talking about killing spirit beasts?
Yun Ci looked curiously at the man who didn't seem to have a very good temper.
Who is this?
Wen Miao saw Li Fengzhu bite his lip.
“Peak Master Li, that’s not what I meant. It’s just that Yun Ci isn’t a disciple of the Beast Taming Peak and doesn’t know how to tame beasts. It would be too dangerous to form a contract with him casually.”
Wen Miao offered a flustered explanation.
"Hmph, I don't see anything wrong with it. The spirit beast protecting its master proves the contracted beast's loyalty," Peak Master Li said in a deep voice.
Wen Miao bit her lip, not daring to speak, and looked at Immortal Venerable Jiqing with a wronged expression.
The gaze of the Immortal Venerable Jiqing was devoid of any warmth.
Gu Yan had also seen through some things at this moment, and combined with what he had recently heard, he muttered to himself.
The junior brother I always thought was well-behaved and kind in front of me was actually just pretending...
Wen Miao was terrified.
All the obedient and kind qualities he had painstakingly cultivated within the sect over the past year have vanished today.
Wen Miao hated Yun Ci to the core at this moment.
Yun Ci, how could Yun Ci have changed so much? Before, he would only cry and complain that his master and senior brothers didn't side with him, and he would never explain himself.
Yun Ci snorted.
He wants to tell everyone everything today to avoid future trouble.
You should still remember the Ice Cave incident, right?
As soon as Yun Ci mentioned it, everyone in the hall remembered.
But I didn't expect this young disciple to bring it up on his own initiative.
Immortal Venerable Jiqing looked at Yun Ci.
Yun Ci's eyes were clear as she looked at Wen Miao and said, word by word, "When you first came, I treated you very well. I genuinely liked you as my junior brother. Actually, there's one thing I don't understand: you're clearly older than me, yet you want to be my junior brother. But that doesn't matter anymore."
You always said things to Immortal Venerable Jiqing and several senior brothers, spreading rumors and gossip until one day Master and senior brothers completely felt that I was being unreasonable, and everyone began to distance themselves from me.
I know it was you who did it, but you acted so well. You knew I hated you, so you deliberately appeared in front of me to make me curse you, and you even chose to do it when there were other people around, so that everyone would think I was a vicious person.
I admit I wanted to teach you a lesson about what happened in the Ice Cave. I was living such a miserable life; nobody believed me—not my master, not my senior brother. I was all alone, and the person I trusted most before no longer believed me at all...
But I only wanted you to stay in there for a few hours and then come out. Instead, you locked me up for three whole days. No one came to see me for three days. You knew I was in there immediately, but you didn't say anything. You must have thought I was dead.
"I've been expelled from the Immortal Venerable Jiqing's name, just as you wished. And now you've framed me again. Is your next step to kick me out and kill me? You say I'm jealous of you, but what do you have that I should be jealous of?"
As Yun Ci spoke, he lowered his head and wiped away his tears. The young boy looked utterly helpless.
Everyone sensed the young boy's grievance.
Wen Miao roared, "You're talking nonsense! How could I spread rumors! Are you just jealous of my top-grade water spirit root and deliberately saying these things!"
Yun Ci raised her eyes, "I swear on my inner demons that if I have said even half a lie, may my cultivation be hindered, and may heavenly lightning strike me."
In the cultivation world, if one swears an oath with heavenly lightning, heavenly lightning will truly fall.
But nothing has happened yet.
What Yun Ci said is true.
The elders, peak masters, immortals, and hall masters present all wore somber expressions.
The atmosphere in the main hall became somber for a moment.
The disciples standing guard around the area were serious, but they were also extremely shocked.
They didn't expect that Wen Miao was actually faking it.
Yun Ci had always thought she had been misunderstood for so long.
Gu Yan looked furious; he felt like he'd been played.
Wen Miao knew he was finished this time.
Everyone thought that Immortal Venerable Jiqing and his five senior brothers doted on him, but only he knew that it was because he had been trying to please them that everything that followed came about.
In truth, Immortal Venerable Jiqing doesn't care about anyone at all!
Sect Leader Cang Xuan looked to the side and said, "Ji Qing, Wen Miao's punishment is up to you."
The sect leader's words, "Immortal Venerable Jiqing has already imposed the punishment," are a reminder to Immortal Venerable Jiqing to impose a new punishment.
What happened just now doesn't count.
The hall fell into complete silence.
Slurp slurp
The head of the Enforcement Hall glared at Xia Zixuan beside him.
Xia Zixuan's eyes looked innocent.
Master Xia turned his head back and his throat bobbed.
Immortal Venerable Jiqing looked at Wen Miao, whose eyes were brimming with tears, and said in a detached tone, "From this day forward, you are no longer my disciple."
"Master! Master, I was wrong! I won't do it again, please don't expel me. Please!" Wen Miao burst into tears in fear.
The Immortal Venerable Jiqing remained unmoved.
"Senior brother, could you please talk to Master for me? I really know I was wrong. Everyone makes mistakes..."
When Gu Yan saw his former junior brother, whom he once liked, say such things, he finally saw him for who he truly was.
After finishing speaking, Immortal Venerable Jiqing looked at the young boy below.
Yun Ci sensed the gaze and knew who was looking at him, but he didn't look over.
Sect Leader Cangxuan looked at the head of the Enforcement Hall standing to the side.
The head of the Enforcement Hall immediately understood the sect leader's meaning, and clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Sect leader, I will handle this matter in accordance with the sect's regulations."
Sect Leader Cang Xuan nodded and looked at Yun Ci. Seeing the young boy's thin appearance, his expression softened.
The Immortal Venerable Jiqing glanced at him indifferently.
The sect leader spoke up, "Yun Ci, are you going to move to another place? The spiritual energy in the back of Moon Cloud Peak is weak and there are few people around, so it's inconvenient for you to attend classes."
At this point, Yun Ci hesitated.
I initially thought the back mountain would be quiet and nice, but the mountain path is indeed very long.
At this moment, Elder Huaiyuan spoke with a smile, "Yun Ci, come to the Alchemy Peak. You have a wood spirit root, which makes you very suitable to be my disciple."
"Yun Ci and my wicked disciple have a good relationship, so of course he'll come to our Weapon Refining Peak," Elder Cheng Xuan said solemnly.
Everyone looked shocked; why were these two elders fighting over it?
Yun Ci blinked.
Goose?
"Yun Ci, come to our Enforcement Hall," Xia Zixuan said.
The head of the Enforcement Hall was initially watching the commotion with a serious expression, but then his son chimed in.
Elder Huaiyuan and Elder Chengxuan had deep expressions.
Master Xia was about to tell his adopted son to shut up.
Xia Zixuan quickly stuffed a piece of beef jerky into Xia Tangzhu's mouth.
Just as Master Xia was about to spit it out, he unconsciously started chewing it.
It's salty, meaty, chewy, and has a unique aroma.
The more you chew, the more delicious it becomes.
Xia Zixuan leaned close to Xia Tangzhu's ear and said, "Dad, this was made by Yun Ci. Was the scallion pancake yesterday delicious? It was also made by Yun Ci."
"Think about it, Yun Ci has come to our Enforcement Hall, does that mean he can just eat whatever he wants?"
Master Xia hesitated for a moment, glancing at his adopted son.
"You said."
He didn't want to offend the elders.
"Okay." Xia Zixuan smiled.
“Yun Ci, come to our Law Enforcement Hall. We are located on the main peak, so it’s convenient to go to any peak or the mountain gate.”
Xia Zixuan said.
Yun Ci raised an eyebrow and grinned mischievously, "You don't hate me anymore?"
Xia Zixuan was a little embarrassed. "It was a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding."
Elder Huaiyuan said with a smile, "Now that you've come to the Alchemy Peak, you are my personal disciple. You may go to the Spirit Plant Valley or the Pill Pavilion at will."
The master of the Alchemy Peak, "..."
No, even I, as the peak master, have to ask you before I can go to the Pill Pavilion.
The expressions on everyone's faces grew increasingly shocked.
The peak master of Beast Taming Peak glanced at Yun Ci.
This young disciple has clear eyes and a good temperament; he's quite likable.
But it wasn't even at the point of fighting over it, so why did they start fighting over it?
Yun Ci blinked.
Is Lingzhi Valley open to everyone?
He admitted he was a little tempted.
At this moment, the aloof man on the high seat spoke, his unwavering gaze fixed on Yun Ci, "Come to Qingyun Peak."
Wen Miao looked incredulous.
Why.
Qingyun Peak is the best mountain in the Xuanyuan Sect, yet he has never lived there.
What right does Yun Ci have to go?
Not only Wen Miao, but everyone else was equally shocked.
