Mountain and Sea Lantern Chapter 69: Beyond Endurance

In the Discipline Hall, Pang Tiansheng had also been carried to the Stone Mill for ergency treatnt and had already passed out.

The Patrol Disciples assisting with the treatnt were a bit baffled.

This Sect Master's Disciple had so many subordinates, how could he have been beaten up by two Early Martial cultivators? Looking around at the empty surroundings and then at the faces behind the windows, they probably understood sothing.

Behind the window, Duan You and Zou Xingbao patted each other's arms, looking relieved.

Last ti, they were punished because of Shi Chun and the other's antics. This ti, they had wanted to deal with them, but after seeing this situation, that thought in their hearts was abandoned.

They even dared to hit the Discipline Hall Manager, even dared to hit the Sect Master's Disciple. There was no need to bother with these two idiots.

Outside the Discipline Hall, Bian Weiying arrived. She had co looking for Shi Chun.

She had inquired beforehand and knew that Shi Chun and the other would be released from prison today.

As the saying goes, it's better to arrive at the right ti than too early.

She arrived just as the fight had finished, and she personally witnessed Shi Chun and the other being carried away.

The first ti she resigned from her City Lord position and ca to the mountain, she wanted to contact him, but these two were caught trying to escape, so she couldn't.

This second ti she wanted to contact him, she again found them caught fighting. What was going on?

She did want to visit them in prison, but the Sect here was guarding against her, fearing she might harm Shi Chun and the other, and wouldn't let her visit.

Unable to understand what was happening at the mont, she went inside to inquire and only then learned the course of events. She found it a bit strange and asked why they didn't help Pang Tiansheng.

Soone replied, "It's not that we didn't want to help. Manager Pang said we weren't allowed to leave our rooms without permission."

Hearing this, Bian Weiying imdiately knew that Pang Tiansheng was unpopular.

Half a day later, those beaten in prison gradually recovered under the effect of dicine. Wu Jinliang moved his body and exclaid, "Chuntian, were we too reckless?"

Shi Chun's body recovered quickly, and he could speak long ago.

"Are you scared?"Wu Jinliang snorted, "How could I be scared of him? If he didn't have so many helpers, I could take on ten of him alone."

Shi Chun, "Rember this: after we get out, if we go to the Discipline Hall again, seize the opportunity to beat him up.

If you find an excuse, act. If you don't, create one and act!"

"Ah, isn't that inappropriate?" Wu Jinliang didn't know whether to laugh or cry; even he felt it was too outrageous.

Shi Chun, "Didn't you see he wanted to deal with us? If we endure this kind of thing, he'll find ways to make us suffer. It will be very hard if we're in his hands.

If we can't endure, then he has to. Better short-term pain than long-term pain.

It's worth it even if we get beaten up twice more; they wouldn't dare kill us."

"That's true, but I wish my recovery ability was as strong as yours…" Wu Jinliang sighed in despair.

Being beaten up like this repeatedly was quite unbearable. He found it difficult to get up now, with one eye swollen to a slit.

Another few days passed in confinent. When they were released, they were given new clothes, and sure enough, they were sent to the Discipline Hall again.

There was no other suitable place for them to stay on the mountain.

Foes t on a narrow road.

The Discipline Hall Manager was still Pang Tiansheng. Wukang Mountain couldn't just dismiss Pang Tiansheng over such a small matter.

The gloom in Pang Tiansheng's eyes was visible. This ti, he was smarter and called a few more people to his side.

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, sothing went wrong again.

"First, carry thirty Carrying Poles of water this morning…"

Before his words finished, Wu Jinliang let out a cry and pounced, throwing a punch.

So resolute and unyielding? Shi Chun was stunned for a mont. He hadn't expected Wu Jinliang to act as soon as the other person spoke.

What else could he do? He quickly rushed out and joined forces.

Pang Tiansheng dodged one, but not the other, and Bang! fell to the ground again, then was surrounded and beaten up badly by Shi Chun and the other.

The bystanders were surprised. Were these two crazy? Should we help? When Pang Tiansheng called them, he didn't ask for help in fighting.

They understood that Pang Tiansheng didn't want to show weakness in front of them; he was a high and mighty Sect Master's Disciple after all.

One person jumped back and moved away, so everyone else spread out.

"Thirty Carrying Poles, you bastard! Others get twenty. You want to ss with us…" Wu Jinliang cursed as he fought, venting the anger from being beaten up last ti.

Only then did the others realize why they were fighting again, discovering that these two really had hot tempers.

Shi Chun, who had inexplicably joined in the attack, finally understood why Wu Jinliang didn't let anyone finish speaking before acting.

It was the first ti he realized the Big Guy was so sensitive about numbers.

"Help! Help!" Pang Tiansheng wailed Awoooo! again.

So a group of Patrol Disciples was startled again. Although it wasn't their shift last ti, they had been verbally briefed on the experience.

They imdiately rushed up to rescue him, knocking Shi Chun and the other down again, followed by another round of surrounding and beating.

Their new clothes were torn again.

With old injuries not yet completely healed, and new injuries added, the two were once again carried away, bloody, and escorted to the prison.

"This grandpa will beat you every ti he sees you…" Wu Jinliang, with his severely bruised face, still wailed Awoooo! towards the Discipline Hall.

That wild vigor indeed made the people in the Discipline Hall look on in amazent.

Slap! A loud slap silenced him.

Outside the Discipline Hall, Bian Weiying, who had just arrived, was stunned. Again?

She had only co because she knew they were being released from prison today.

And they had finished fighting again?

Was it really this outrageous?

She truly began to doubt her decision. Was it really reliable to work with such people?

She stood silently at the entrance for a long ti, carefully sorting out her thoughts.

It wasn't until the Patrol Disciples settled down the injured Pang Tiansheng and ca out that she regained her composure and nodded a greeting to them.

She looked back in the direction of the prison.

She couldn't hope to enter there; they were guarding against her like against a thief.

After much deliberation, she felt this couldn't continue.

So she walked into the Discipline Hall, entered Pang Tiansheng's room, and waved away the group of fellows who had ignored Pang Tiansheng's life or death during the incident and were now pretending to be good.

Seeing her, Pang Tiansheng on the couch said with a sobbing voice, "Junior Sister."

"Senior Brother Pang, don't get excited."

Bian Weiying quickly appeased him, then asked about the situation of the incident. Only then did she learn that they started fighting after just one sentence, which left her speechless.

Did they really think Wukang Mountain was so Moral Sanctuary that wouldn't make people disappear?

She also wondered where those two got such courage, re outsiders daring to commit offenses repeatedly in Wukang Mountain.

She thought of her father wanting that official/person to motivate Bian Weikang.

She wondered how her father would react to repeatedly seeing such things happen before his eyes. Thinking of this, she almost laughed.

After asking about the situation, she also made a suggestion to Pang Tiansheng.

"Senior Brother, I've moved back to the mountain now.

Could you help arrange it so that when they're released from prison, their task of carrying water is changed to my place?"

Pang Tiansheng, who had just looked aggrieved, suddenly brightened his eyes, parting his bloody, gaping mouth to say, "Junior Sister is thoughtful of you, may I trouble you, Junior Sister. Don't worry, I'll arrange it!"

Bian Weiying was a bit speechless, knowing that he probably misunderstood her aning, but she didn't say much more, just told him to recover from his injuries well before leaving.

Not long after, Elder Xia Fuli ca again after hearing the news; the Sect Master had sent him.

The Sect Master couldn't bother with such a troubleso matter himself.

The plan to use Shi Chun to motivate Bian Weikang was also proposed by this Elder, so having this person, who knew the inside story, handle and resolve the matter was the best way to exercise discretion. The demand was for a thorough resolution, otherwise, what was the aning of constantly fighting on the mountain, and always beating his disciple? Didn't he, the dignified Sect Master, care about his reputation?

Seeing the miserable Pang Tiansheng, Xia Fuli was truly speechless.

To be repeatedly beaten up like this on his own territory, what could he say?

But there was no other way. This person only had this ability, and his cultivation aptitude was poor.

Normally, he wasn't suitable for cultivation. However, the Sect Master owed his father a life-saving grace.

His family was ruined and dispersed because of the Sect Master, and he beca an orphan whom the Sect Master took up the mountain.

He rembered that when this boy first ca to the mountain, the Sect Master asked who would take him as a disciple, but everyone disliked his poor aptitude and refused.

In the end, the Sect Master had no choice but to take him in personally.

The results also proved everyone's discernnt.

So things, if certain people can't learn them, they just can't, no matter how hard you push them. Even with no lack of cultivation resources, his Cultivation Level was slow to break through to High Martial.

Being able to be a steward here now was considered the Sect Master's special look after him.

After questioning Pang Tiansheng and other witnesses, and confirming the situation of the incident, Xia Fuli hurried to the prison to ask what those two actually wanted to do.

Wu Jinliang, with his severely bruised face, couldn't even speak clearly, mumbling, "Others carry twenty Carrying Poles of water all morning, but they make us carry thirty. Isn't this intentionally ssing with us?"

Xia Fuli angrily said, "That's because you caused trouble last ti! The Sect instructed him to increase your punishnt, not for him to intentionally ss with you!"

Was it a misunderstanding? Shi Chun and the other fell silent.

Then Xia Fuli unleashed a barrage of threats, too lazy to reason with such people, clearly warning the two: dare to act presumptuously again, and we'll kill you!

Because of this matter, Xiang Lan'er in the secluded small courtyard also felt lancholy.

Wukang Mountain's insider was again furiously complaining of hardships to her, saying that Shi Chun and the other were clearly certain they wouldn't face serious consequences, believing the Demonic Path would find a way to bail them out anyway.

If this continued, it would be impossible to proceed, and everyone would be dragged into trouble. The insider admitted he was at his wit's end.

Since Young Lady couldn't handle it either, he could only report beyond authority!

In special circumstances, he had the right to report beyond authority, and Xiang Lan'er could not stop him.

She also didn't know how to praise those two.

Ever since they ca to Wukang Mountain, they had been in and out of prison, practically living there, and were often beaten like miserable wretches. What was the point?

A few days later, Xiang Lan'er received a ssage telling her to descend the mountain.

So she found an excuse about buying things and left the mountain.

Upon entering Linkang City, she t with Feng Chi in a clothing store.

Inside the changing room, Xiang Lan'er asked, "What is so urgent that it couldn't be relayed, requiring to descend the mountain to et?"

Feng Chi said with a solemn expression, "Young Lady, Nightingale used his existing channel to report beyond authority about the situation on the mountain."

Xiang Lan'er nodded slightly, "I know about this.

He inford beforehand. I allowed him to do as he pleased.

What, is there a problem?"

Feng Chi, "He blew things out of proportion. After reporting the repeated incidents of Shi Chun and the other causing trouble on the mountain, he presented his conclusion: he suspects that perhaps other Demonic Path factions have discovered our plan and deliberately sent Shi Chun and the other to disrupt it.

This matter has attracted the Higher-ups' high value attention."

Xiang Lan'er coldly snorted, "Are the Higher-ups brainless? If they really wanted to disrupt, would they need to go through such a roundabout way?"

Feng Chi, "That's not important.

What's important is that those two truly caused too much trouble on the mountain. Even I think it's too outrageous.

First escaping, then beating people. How could two outsiders who just arrived on the mountain constantly beat up a Sect Master's Disciple? It's caused Nightingale to not even dare release them from prison, and it has indeed threatened our plan.

Nightingale is clearly beyond endurance and is determined to remove this stumbling block. He spoke very gravely to the Higher-ups, saying he had encountered the most significant threat since he began to lie low!

He has been lying low in Wukang Mountain for many years, so the Higher-ups must also respect his opinion and emotions.

Therefore, we were instructed to inform you that there will be a grand event in Sheng Shenzhou soon. The Higher-ups will use this opportunity to transfer away both you and those two troublemakers, temporarily removing you from Wukang Mountain.

They will then resolve so issues before allowing you to return!"
