Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The one Ming Shu was talking to was precisely Yang Wan, whose face had paled.
She rembered that the Host also encountered this plot of being frad. No one acted as her witness and the Host defended herself in vain. At last she was punished to kneel and ponder over her mistakes.
But Ming Shu was very lucky. She had a fight yesterday and changed her clothes. So Yang Wan’s testimony was full of loopholes.
“I didn’t.” Yang Wan was frightened and waved her hands. “I indeed gave you the Dan dicines. If you stole them, just hand them over quickly, Xuan Ji, don’t get involved.”
Ming Shu wished she could help her. “But you didn’t even describe my clothes right. Is it that you lost your mory, or was I sleepwalking?”
She looked at the servant disciples not far away and asked smilingly, “What I was wearing yesterday, you should rember, right?”
The servant disciples shrank back. They were a little afraid of Ming Shu now.
Elder Hong asked, “What did Xuan Ji wear yesterday?”
Since the deacon elder asked, they had to answer. “A cyan dress. Xuan Ji... brawled yesterday and dirtied the Taoist robe.”
Ming Shu looked at Yang Wan. “Next ti rember to do enough work before you fra others.”
Yang Wan didn’t expect that Ming Shu would change her clothes coincidentally, so she changed her excuse in a hurry. “I was wrong, yes, she was wearing a cyan dress.”
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows. “Oh? Then tell about the flowers on my dress?”
“I... I don’t rember.”
Facing such an obvious change, Elder Hong was not stupid enough to believe it, so he waved his hand. “That’s enough, Yang Wan, you co to the Discipline Hall with , I will figure this out.”
“What’s the problem here?”
A slightly hoarse voice sounded. A man in a dark blue Taoist robe stood under the wall and was looking this way casually.
He was wearing a half-faced silver mask, in a slightly odd shape, only showing his chin and lips.
His entire body was shrouded in a lazy air. He just leaned against the pillar as if he was really weak.
“Master.”
Elder Hong and Elder Xu bowed to salute at the sa ti, and their attitude was extrely respectful.
The other disciples didn’t know this man.
But they followed the two elders and said, “Master.”
Ming Shu was not one of them, of course. The man also didn’t seem to care that soone didn’t salute him, and didn’t even look at Ming Shu.
He looked at Elder Hong and asked in a casual tone, “I heard you quarrelling from down the hill, what’s this about?”
Elder Hong and Elder Xu didn’t know why this master who barely showed up suddenly appeared here. They beca a bit nervous.
“Master, it’s just a little problem.” Elder Hong explained the matter to the man.
“Oh, I see.” The man’s tone was still casual. The others all wondered what he ant by that.
He put his hand on the mask and seed to think. Elder Hong and Elder Xu didn’t dare to disturb him, so the court suddenly beca extrely quiet.
After quite a while, the man lifted his hand. A faint glow started overflowing from his fingertips, and a beam of thin light soared to the sky, disappearing into the clouds with a long, dragging tail.
Everyone was stunned, unsure of what he was doing.
Then, suddenly, from above the clouds rained countless golden lights. They floated in the sky as if weaving a scene of a teor shower over their heads, dreamy and beautiful.
Then the lights gradually disappeared.
It was like they had never been real.
“Master, what did you see?” Elder Hong asked carefully.
The others were stunned again. What did he see?
What had happened just now?
The man pointed at several people with his beautiful fingers. “Her, her, him, and him, they all breathe evidence of Dan dicine. As to who did it, you should find it out yourself.”
Among the people he pointed at, in addition to Yang Wan and the disciple who ca to report, there was also another boy and a girl. Yun Yao was the girl. She looked a bit wronged, as if she didn’t know why she was ntioned.
“Master, what about Xuan Ji?” Elder Xu asked in an unconvinced tone.
“Xuan Ji?” The man raised his voice in question.
Elder Xu thought the man didn’t know who Xuan Ji was, so he pointed to Ming Shu imdiately.
The man followed his finger. But he shook his head after a mont. “No.”
He yawned. “I’m leaving.”
Elder Xu was still very doubtful, but he didn’t dare to question the man. “Yes, Master.”
The man then disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if he had never appeared at all.
“Yun Yao, Zhao Feng, you two co to the Discipline Hall as well.” Elder Hong called the roll.
Everyone started talking.
Being called out like this in front of so many people, Yun Yao’s face felt hot, and she walked out of the crowd with her head lowered.
But that man called Zhao Feng looked restless and moved slowly.
Since the master said there was no sign of Dan dicine in Ming Shu, Elder Xu had no excuse to detain her. But he still insisted that Ming Shu would be punished separately for stealing techniques and brawling.
Of course, Ming Shu didn’t care about this at all.
Elder Hong raised his voice. “All right, all of you go back to your positions. You only have one year. Then, if you can’t pass the Nine Zigzag Mountain Array and get into the internal division, you’ll have to wait for another three years to get the chance. I hope you can understand that ti is precious.”
“Yes, Elder!”
After Elder Hong and Elder Xu left, everyone finally relaxed.
“Who was that master just now?”
“I don’t know...”
“The way he spoke was attractive. I thought masters were all the sa age as my father’s generation. Who’d have thought there’s such a young and good-looking master.”
Ming Shu was sowhat speechless. The man was wearing a mask, how could they tell he was good-looking? What if the face under the mask was scary?
“I will see him when I get into the internal division. Ahhhh, I have to practice hard!”
“Let’s go cultivate now.”
Everyone scattered.
Ming Shu walked back to her room.
The blue Taoist robe...
He should be a master from Lihun Peak.
There were a total of seven peaks in the Yin Sect, simply referred to as the Seven Peaks. On the day they went into the Nine Zigzag Mountain Array, it would be decided which peak the internal disciples would enter.
The main peak was Wuying Peak. It was where the sect leader lived and generally wouldn’t take disciples. The resident population on this peak developed in a very stable parallel line.
The second peak was Chihuo Peak, which mainly taught swordsmanship. It was the image ambassador of the Yin Sect and the number of disciples taken in each year rose in a curve.
The third peak was Jinlan Peak, focused on tactical array formation. This world valued array formations very much, so there were also a lot of disciples on Jinlan Peak.
The fourth peak was Xingxiang Peak, mainly teaching deduction, which was also known as fortune-telling. This skill depended on talent, so the disciples were not many, and they could take only one or two disciples each year.
The fifth peak was Lihun Peak, which mainly taught how to refine Dan dicine. The techniques of refining Dan dicine were fading away, so Lihun Peak was now a rare and precious species in the Yin Sect. Each disciple on Lihun Peak was treated like a cherished panda.
The sixth peak was Yanyue Peak, where Jun Qing lived. That’s right, the lord male protagonist.
The seventh peak was Lingjian Peak, where disciples received swords. But this peak had been closed for almost a hundred years. There was no peak leader and also no disciples.
The Taoist robe for each peak was different.
The blue Taoist robe designated Lihun Peak. And that man should be the peak leader of Lihun Peak: Yan Yin.
Ming Shu chewed two mouthfuls of a stead bun, and she forgot all these chores imdiately.
Soon the truth of the missing Dan dicine issue ca to light.
Yang Wan lost the Dan dicines by herself. Fearing that she would be punished, she fabricated a sche against Ming Shu.
Finally those Dan dicines were seized from Zhao Feng. Yun Yao just happened to have a conversation with Zhao Feng and inadvertently caught the breath of Dan dicine.
Zhao Feng shouted that he was innocent.
But he was just caught with the stolen goods. So it was useless for him to deny it, and he was finally driven out of the sect.
Yang Wan was punished severely.
Ming Shu found that Yun Yao was relieved after Zhao Feng was driven away.
Chut , she was not right in the head.
