Chapter 707: Chapter 384 Penglai! Penglai!_4 Chapter 707: Chapter 384 Penglai! Penglai!_4 A male disciple shouted angrily.
Shen Ye was taken aback, his gaze falling on the female disciple in the middle of the group.
The female disciple seed to be called Li Yue’er.
She was quite pretty, with a delicate appearance that couldn’t withstand the wind and rain.
So n liked this type.
Wait a minute!
Why are you crying now?
...
“Senior Brother Zhao, my uncle… he was also just angry at the ti, don’t bla him, if you have anything, take it out on .”
Li Yue’er’s eyes were red, and she spoke with a choked voice.
Her crying imdiately made several male and female disciples even more annoyed.
“Look what you’ve done, Zhao Xingshi, if you want trouble with Sister Yue’er, then co at !”
Another male disciple jumped out, drew his sword, and stood in front of Li Yue’er.
The others also yelled incessantly.
The commotion grew louder and louder.
Cultivators around them all looked over.
Suddenly, a female voice rang out:
“What is this noise here, disturbing the order of the Sect!”
Everyone imdiately quieted down.
But they saw a female cultivator fly down and stand between the two groups.
She was holding a horsetail whisk in her hand.
—This signified she was today’s Law Enforcent Cultivator of the Demon Subduing and Evil Exterminating Hall!
“Sister, this Zhao Xingshi has been relentless in pestering Li Yue’er, and today he did it again. We ask for your clear judgnt!”
One male disciple said.
The female cultivator’s face was cold as frost, her gaze sharp, sweeping over everyone.
The watching cultivators imdiately fell silent.
“It’s .”
Shen Ye heard a transmission by his ear.
—Xiao ngyu!
She beca a Law Enforcent Cultivator?
Shen Ye couldn’t help but look towards her, and saw her quickly blink.
“Zhao Xingshi!”
Xiao ngyu shouted sternly.
“Here!” Shen Ye responded.
“I’ll ask you, before coming to the Demon Subduing and Evil Exterminating Hall, did you make any inappropriate comnts towards Li Yue’er?” Xiao ngyu interrogated.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Shen Ye bowed with his hands clasped and said:
“Disciple did not utter a word.”
“Then, did you make any improper physical contact with her?” Xiao ngyu continued to question.
“Disciple was about to enter the hall to receive a task, but then they blocked here,” Shen Ye replied again.
“Deceiving a Law Enforcent Cultivator is a grave offense. Are you sure you want to stick to that story?”
“Absolutely no deception.”
The opposing disciples were taken aback.
Li Yue’er’s face changed dramatically, and she hurriedly said:
“Wait—”
Xiao ngyu had already cast a hand gesture and shouted, “Let activate the hall’s image retention, then we’ll know the truth or falsehood.”
The technique was executed.
Light and shadow imdiately appeared in front of everyone.
They saw Zhao Xingshi descending from the sky, about to step into the hall, but he was stopped by several people.
They yelled insults, provoked confrontations, and even drew swords to attack.
The truth was revealed.
Cultivators around them couldn’t help but let out a burst of derisive laughter.
“What is this, framing soone like that.”
“These people are too much.”
“I think they have problems in their heads.”
“Indeed.”
There was a buzz of discussion among the crowd.
Those few faces were an awkward color, and for a mont they couldn’t say a word.
Xiao ngyu waved her hand, took out the Law Enforcent Daoist Manual, and read:
“Deliberately saring a fellow disciple, ruining their reputation, a penalty of three years’ stipend, and three months of reflection facing the wall.”
“I hope you all take this as a lesson.”
“Now go.”
Those people all turned green but didn’t dare to utter a sound.
Li Yue’er hurriedly walked forward, bowed with hands clasped, and said:
“Sister, your judgnt is clear. Disciple had no intention of troubling Zhao Xingshi. It was just that last ti’s incident deeply hurt disciple, so several Daoist friends rushed to protect disciple. Now it seems it was all a misunderstanding.”
“Misunderstanding?” Xiao ngyu sneered.
If this weren’t Penglai, if she didn’t have other matters to attend to, she wouldn’t bother speaking so much useless talk.
Using the sword would have been enough.
“Slow down!” a furious shout ca from the sky.
Li Yue’er looked up and exclaid with joy, “Uncle!”
A middle-aged cultivator dressed in a blue Daoist robe descended, and greeted Xiao ngyu with a cupped fist salute, “Daoist Zhou, for such a trivial matter, there’s no need for such a severe punishnt. I think we should let it go.”
Xiao ngyu said coldly, “Daoist Li, today I am the one enforcing the law, not you.”
The middle-aged cultivator beca annoyed, but then he put on a smile and said warmly, “Daoist Zhou may not know, but Li Yue’er has been favored by Elder Wang, and she’s about to be appointed as a True Disciple soon. To heavily punish her now over so minor details would probably displease Elder Wang.”
Xiao ngyu also smiled.
“Daoist Li, last ti Zhao Xingshi was also a True Disciple yet you still heavily punished him and demoted him to a normal disciple, didn’t you?”
She said calmly, forming a hand gesture and stamped on the law enforcent Daoist manual.
The Daoist manual emitted a faint light.
—The punishnt was set!
“Zhao Xingshi, let ask you, why were you punished last ti?” Xiao ngyu continued.
“It seed like… there was a bug on Li Yue’er’s shoulder, and I brushed the bug away for her,” Shen Ye recalled.
With this recollection, he actually realized that this was indeed the case.
Was it just for such a trivial matter that the fate of a cultivator was to be altered?
Too childish!
Shen Ye paused and continued to dig through Zhao Xingshi’s mories.
It wasn’t right.
The spots for True Disciples in Penglai Immortal Mountain were limited, only by stepping one down could another step up.
Only because he was demoted could Li Yue’er ascend.
—He had been frad!
As for why no one stood up for Zhao Xingshi—
Because the elder who had high hopes for Zhao Xingshi was out fighting demons and maintaining the Dao, outnumbered and seriously injured, he had been closed off and not seen for several months.
Everyone said that he might not last much longer.
Tsk!
—It looked like no matter where one worked, this couldn’t be avoided.
“We still have important matters, let’s just send them away and not bother with these trifles,” Shen Ye said indifferently through a spiritual ssage.
“That won’t do, I need to handle this,” Xiao ngyu transmitted back.
“Huh?”
“If it can be changed… I don’t want to see this innocent young man slandered.”
Shen Ye fell silent for a mont, his voice becoming gentle:
“…Okay, then handle it.”
But they saw the Li surnad cultivator’s expression change, and he released a communication talisman.
“To inform Daoist Zhou, Elder Wang is paying close attention to this matter, and he will be here any mont.”
Before he finished speaking,
An old Daoist suddenly appeared before everyone.
Everyone couldn’t help but bow respectfully:
“We pay respects to Elder Wang.”
“Li Yue’er,” the old Daoist beckoned.
Li Yue’er happily ran over and stood beside the old Daoist.
The old Daoist looked around with a genial expression and said with a smile, “Let’s forget about the small matters here.”
Everyone nodded their heads in agreent.
The old Daoist was about to leave with Li Yue’er when Xiao ngyu’s voice suddenly rang out:
“Elder Wang, the matter here may indeed be trivial, but it cannot just be let go.”
“Wantonly slandering others and stripping away their status is intolerable.”
“Furthermore, to add another word, I enforce the law impartially, and even if I were to report to the Sect Leader, you have no right to veto the sect’s laws with a single word.”
People gasped.
Was this law enforcent cultivator going to go head-to-head with an elder of the Sect?
Did she have a death wish?
Elder Wang also stopped in his tracks and slowly turned his head to look at Xiao ngyu, his gaze falling on the long sword at her waist.
“A sword cultivator, eh?”
A flicker of resentnt passed through his eyes.
A torrent of imnse authority radiated from him, sweeping across the gathering.
Xiao ngyu’s voice grew even calr:
“Elder Wang, interfering with the sect’s law enforcent is a serious cri, and I’m authorized to take action.”
“You, a re Twelfth Layer of the Legal Realm law enforcent cultivator, dare to talk to about sect rules?” Elder Wang said with a cold laugh.
“Elder, please reconsider.”
“Have you thought it through? About making a move against ?” Elder Wang said mockingly.
Xiao ngyu’s hand rested on her sword hilt.
Above her head, the crimson-colored term “Creator of Earth” suddenly emitted a faint yellow glow.
“Continue to interfere with law enforcent, and I will kill you,” Xiao ngyu said indifferently.
