However, the Xiahong family was primarily based in Jingzhou, so it was normal for a minor martial cultivator from Liangzhou to have not seen them.
"No need for more words, taking you to your mother, you will naturally co to understand."
Lin Yue glanced indifferently at Song Cidong, casually holding the dark iron saber, and walked out of the cave, leaving only a command:
"Bring him along, be careful, don’t let him hurt you."
Baili Fengzhi was briefly taken aback. How could Song Cidong, a re Martial Cultivator from the Five Elents Heavenly Barrier, possibly injure her?
Could it be that Your Highness was deliberately concealing her?
She imdiately grabbed the knot behind Song Cidong and lifted him up, quickly following Lin Yue.
But sothing struck her as odd, why would His Highness carry a saber instead of putting it into a storage treasure?
Could it be that he did not want Song Cidong to discover it?
But even if Song Cidong knew, after seeing the Law Enforcent Elder, wouldn’t he just realize His Highness had a grand background, and that having a storage treasure was only to be expected, and wouldn’t dare to speak out of turn?
However, His Highness was always ticulous in his sches, there must be a reason for his current actions.
So, Baili Fengzhi did not speak out or reveal her cultivation.
In a short while,
They arrived at the residence of the Elders behind Red Maple Lake. Lin Yue glanced at Song Cidong and said to Baili Fengzhi, "Wait here, I’m going to et with the Law Enforcent Elder."
Song Cidong was tied up securely, with no power to resist, kneeling on the ground, his expression calm.
He was once a hidden talent secretly nurtured by Red Maple Lake, and although he was not as talented as this young man, he was still soone the Elders valued.
Moreover, he was the son of the Law Enforcent Elder, naturally holding a higher status.
Even if he had offended this genius, but he had not injured him, the Sect could not possibly punish him; at most, he would receive a verbal reprimand.
Therefore, he was not worried at all.
The most important thing was—
"It’s indeed fortunate to have discovered such a talent this ti, the master will surely reward well..." His heart surged with excitent, and he quickly cald himself to suppress the impulses hidden within him.
After a mont,
Lin Yue erged from the residence of the Elders, followed by three people.
It was the Sect Leader of Red Maple Lake, the Supre Elder, and the Law Enforcent Elder. Among them, the moderately beautiful female martial cultivator was none other than the Law Enforcent Elder of the Red Maple Sect, Song Xinlian.
And she was Song Cidong’s mother.
Song Cidong knelt in disarray on the ground, looking up at the three approaching figures, and spoke, "Sect Leader, Supre, Mom, when did you start nu..."
Before he could finish, he saw his mother, the Law Enforcent Elder, suddenly move forward, her face cold, and then ca a fierce slap!
"Slap!!"
With a resounding slap, Song Cidong felt darkness before his eyes, his face instantly numb, his whole body flying backward and crashing into a wall, vomiting blood and seeing stars.
Song Cidong lay on the ground, taking a while to co to his senses, trembling as he looked at his mother, "Mom, have you gone mad?!"
The Law Enforcent Elder looked at him coldly, icily saying, "The Sect Leader ordered the Forbidden Land to be sealed off, why did you still go in?"
"I had just returned from outside, passing by the Forbidden Land, heard so noise inside, how could I not go and check?"
Song Cidong’s cheek swelled up, speaking with so agitation, "I didn’t know he was a secret talent of our own Sect, you never told this secret, can you bla for this?"
The Sect Leader stepped forward and asked, "Why didn’t you use the main entrance, choosing to co back through the Forbidden Land?"
"Sect Leader, I was just taking the path that led ho." Song Cidong explained with concealed resentnt, "I went to pick herbs at the foot of the mountain today, and found that it was faster to climb the mountain from the Forbidden Land, is that not allowed?"
The Sect Leader frowned and said, "You disregarded the seal on the Forbidden Land and trespassed, and you even laid hands on him?"
"I’ve said I didn’t know about the blockade, nor that he was one of our own."
Song Cidong argued passionately, "And I even guessed this possibility. I found the chance but did not kill him! If it weren’t for him and that masked woman skulking around in the Forbidden Land, hiding the broken stele who knows where, why would I have acted?"
The Sect Leader listened quietly, then asked, "So you feel wronged?"
Song Cidong thought of his master and, although for a mont he felt guilty, he managed to conceal it rather well and replied defiantly, "Sect Leader, am I not wronged?"
The Law Enforcent Elder eyed her son, gritted her teeth, and was about to step forward to interrogate him but heard Lin Yue’s voice suddenly ring out:
"Forget it, he is indeed wronged. Let him go, he really didn’t an to kill ."
The Law Enforcent Elder took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to question further.
"Thank you, Junior Brother." Song Cidong looked gratefully at Lin Yue and said, "Earlier, it was a case of large waves washing the Dragon King Temple. I was rash in my actions, Junior Brother, please don’t take offense."
Lin Yue didn’t say much, only casually saying, "Untie him."
The Law Enforcent Elder raised her hand, instinctively wanting to bow in respect and thankfulness, but rembering Lin Yue’s words, she held back.
She then proceeded to untie Song Cidong.
"Sect Leader, may I ask how to address this Junior Brother?"
Song Cidong stood up, not looking at his own mother but towards the Sect Leader, "Our Red Maple Sect has secretly nurtured a talent like Junior Brother, he will surely strengthen our Sect and turn it into a first-class Sect."
The Sect Leader slightly furrowed his brow and instructed, "His existence, you must not disclose to anyone, understand?"
"Of course."
Song Cidong nodded slightly and then asked, "However, when did this Junior Brother join our Sect? This is the first ti I’ve seen him, Sect Leader, you’ve hidden him very well."
