ridiculous!

It only stated that he was injured!

But they don't say why?

How ridiculous!

This is simply spreading rumors and gossip!

"Elder Ouyang, even if you want to protect your own, there's no need to go to such lengths. As an elder, have you no shame?"

This sentence left Ouyang Lie speechless.

"Elder, I'd like to ask you a question: why were they injured?"

Xiao Feng's amused expression left Ouyang Lie speechless for a moment.

The sect leader also spoke up for Xiao Feng.

"Yes, Elder Ouyang, although Xiao Feng is unruly, he's not the type to hurt people indiscriminately. We should at least produce some evidence!"

evidence?

That makes things much easier!

Xiao Feng was speechless, not knowing who Si Tianyi was speaking up for.

Is he also unruly?

Am I unruly?

Silently complaining to himself, Ouyang Lie continued his antics.

Soon, the rest of the disciples were brought up.

"Tell me, how exactly were you injured!"

The crowd started chattering, and if one person was lying, then it was a lie.

If a group of people say it, then it becomes a rumor that "three men can make a tiger"!

There really are tigers in the market!

Xiao Feng really got splashed with excrement.

Hearing the disciples' baseless accusations, Xiao Feng was speechless.

In the end, he was even forced to give up on arguing. After thinking it over, Xiao Feng gritted his teeth.

"Since you've all put it this way, then I have nothing more to say. You've turned white into black, so I'm willing to accept the punishment!"

Seeing this, the disciples breathed a sigh of relief.

Si Tianyi shook his head helplessly, understanding that Xiao Feng was making things convenient for him.

After all, as the leader of the Spirit Sword Sect, he couldn't really wrong Xiao Feng.

How pitiful!

"Sect Leader, since this kid has already admitted it, I think you should give us an explanation!"

After a moment of contemplation, Si Tianyi finally spoke to Xiao Feng.

"Considering this is your first offense, we'll deactivate the mountain-protecting formation for now!"

Upon hearing this, the disciples who were cutting down the bamboo cheered wildly.

This is a victory for them!

Those green bamboos are going to suffer again!

Although Ouyang Lie was dissatisfied with the punishment, he felt that he had already received what he was entitled to and had vented his anger.

Ouyang Lie chose to step forward entirely for the sake of his poor apprentice, Yue Yang.

He was afraid that if Yueyang spent too much time with Xiao Feng, he would go astray.

Little did they know, this was the true nature of Yueyang.

"Since Senior Brother Sect Leader has said so, then this elder will not linger any longer. Farewell!"

After saying this, Ouyang Lie gave Xiao Feng a vicious look and then left.

Seeing that the elders who had been supporting them had all left, and having achieved their goals, the disciples naturally didn't want to stay.

Soon, only the two of them remained in the hall.

Knowing that Xiao Feng had been wronged, Si Tianyi quickly stepped down from his position as sect leader and slowly approached Xiao Feng.

"You little rascal! You've suffered!"

Good heavens!

Since Xiao Feng arrived at the sect, apart from Zhao Yuwei, no one had ever shown him such a kind face.

What a kind person!

It has to be the sect leader!

"Does the sect leader still consider me a member of the sect?"

Upon hearing this, Si Tianyi was visibly taken aback. These chilling words were not something the person in front of him would say.

Why not?

"Since that's the case, then the sect leader is willing to listen to what I have to say?"

Si Tianyi continued to nod.

"What do you want to say?"

"The mountain-protecting formation cannot be shut down. If we don't nip the seedlings of indiscriminately cutting down the bamboo in the bud today, sooner or later Qingfeng will have a conflict with the entire sect!"

"You must know what kind of person my master is!"

Upon hearing this, Si Tianyi couldn't help but shrink back. What Xiao Feng said was indeed true; the sect couldn't do without Yan Yun.

"I, the sect leader, have already given the order, alas!"

For a moment, Si Tianyi really didn't know what to do.

We can't take back the order!

At that point, his position as sect leader would be even less likely to last.

The Spirit Sword Sect is about to disband!

Si Tianyi slowly raised his head and looked out of the shop. The seven peaks stood side by side, and for a moment, it felt as if he had returned to his childhood.

At that time, the temple was incredibly wealthy, with all the great masters imparting their knowledge generously, and those with talent were promoted.

How did things come to this?

"Xiao Feng, I promise you, starting today, I will send highly skilled disciples to guard the bamboo forest. Anyone found cutting down trees will be punished according to the sect's rules!"

Xiao Feng breathed a sigh of relief; he had achieved his goal.

Si Tianyi continued to speak.

"This time, you've taken the blame for the sect leader. Sooner or later, I, the sect leader, will give you justice!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng cupped his hands in greeting once more.

I already have a better plan in mind!

"Does the sect leader feel that the Spirit Sword Sect is different now than it used to be?"

Xiao Feng wasn't a fool. Si Tianyi was the head of a sect, yet he always spoke words of lamentation.

Everyone knows the reason behind this!

Perhaps the sect leader feels he is incompetent!

Si Tianyi chuckled softly, offering no reply, which was already the best answer he could give.

"This disciple is willing to take the blame for the sect leader; please punish me!"

Punishment?

Where to begin?

A hint of surprise flashed in Si Tianyi's eyes, but a moment later it turned into frustration.

As the dignified sect leader, he is now making a disciple with mixed spiritual roots who has just entered the sect take the blame.

desolate!

A heart-wrenching sorrow filled Si Tianyi's heart.

"no!"

Si Tianyi refused the request without hesitation. After all, he was the sect leader and could not let Xiao Feng take the blame for him.

"Sect Leader, this is the best solution for the stability of the Spirit Sword Sect!"

Xiao Feng was determined to return. He thought that even if he returned to Qingfeng Peak, he would only be a menial disciple. He might as well take responsibility for his sins.

In this way, they can also curry favor with the sect leader, making a profit both ways.

Seeing Xiao Feng's confident expression, Si Tianyi hesitated. This was indeed the best solution.

You could even say he had no choice!

Only by severely punishing Xiao Feng can the sect quell its anger and alleviate the conflicts between the various peaks.

"Go to the place where I used to go into seclusion. Spend a month cultivating in peace!"

This is the final punishment!

It was called a punishment, but it was more like a preferential treatment!

The place where Si Tianyi once secluded himself was the place with the richest spiritual energy.

We've struck it rich!

At this moment, Xiao Feng even thought that becoming Si Tianyi's disciple wouldn't be bad.

He's really generous when it comes to good things!

"Thank you for your kindness, Sect Leader!"

Soon, Xiao Feng arrived at the cave dwelling. As soon as he set foot there, he felt the abundant spiritual energy.
