Chapter 31: Something strange happened and the disciple was injured

Yue Daiyuan's mouth twitched.

Is now the time to dwell on this? You're better off lightening the mood.

However, Yue Daiyuan still explained patiently.

"Um... I just bumped into her on the way. We didn't intend to get together. I'll definitely let you know next time! Don't worry about it for now. We're not isolating you."

She gave the assurance, and Geng Jihuan snorted and tilted his head.

"Got it. Even if it's the two of you who caused this mess together, go quickly and we'll discuss it together in the morning meeting. I'll let the disciples train their bodies first."

Adhering to the principle of mutual help within the sect, it is perfectly normal for elders to substitute for each other in class.

Originally, Nan Lezhi was responsible for supervising the disciples' physical training in the second half of the month, but her disciple Yu Fanjian was kidnapped by an unknown sect. She went to rescue him, but just two days later, the important task was handed back to Yue Daiyuan.

Yue Daiyuan enjoyed this very much. After all, the spirit stones Nan Lezhi earned from teaching would be counted towards her, and she could use them to buy a few bottles of good wine.

After all, as a sword cultivator, she is really poor. Most of her spirit stones are used to maintain her natal sword. A sword is her entire fortune. If she has other needs, she can only make some extra money from other means.

She has been attending classes perfectly without a break for a hundred years!

In her eyes, other elders are richer than her.

The richest person was undoubtedly Geng Jihuan. After all, she was a medicine cultivator, and the spiritual plants in her backyard were worth thousands of gold! Then there was Nan Lezhi, a weapon cultivator. Asking her for help repairing spiritual weapons was extremely expensive.

As for Bai Yunshu, she did not comment on him. He had not received any spirit stones in the past five hundred years, nor did he focus on his cultivation. Bai Yunshu gave her the illusion that as long as the sect leader asked her to resign from the position of elder, she would go down to earth to farm the next second.

"No problem, I'll go find her."

Yue Daiyuan left those words, then summoned his natal sword and flew to Musheng Peak.

After a while, Bai Yunshu and Yue Daiyuan were staring at each other in his room.

Yue Daiyuan didn't even knock on the door when she came in. She grabbed Bai Yunshu and shook him.

Bai Yunshu was forcibly awakened and laughed, "Tell me I'm still dreaming. I'm definitely not awake yet. Are you kidding me? Elder Yue, this is not funny at all."

It can't be true that such an important thing could be lost, and there was no fluctuation in the spiritual power of the barrier last night.

She didn't believe it, and her head was aching a little, so it must be a nightmare.

Yue Daiyuan had a smile on her face that was uglier than crying.

"I also hope I'm dreaming. I didn't believe it when Geng Jihuan told me, but this is the truth..."

Bai Yunshu was silent for a moment, then reached out and pinched Yue Daiyuan's arm hard.

"Hiss, what are you doing?"

Yue Daiyuan cried out in pain and looked at her in confusion.

Bai Yunshu patted his head.

Seeing how much pain she was feeling, it wasn't a dream.

"Oh, then you're done. This time next year, I'll go to the sect's back mountain to see you."

Those buried in the back mountain are all the sect’s fallen gods.

She lay back in a mess, and Yue Daiyuan chuckled.

"It's over between us! You were with me last night, and after I fell asleep, didn't you hear anything?"

Bai Yunshu closed his eyes and thought about it.

"No, I drank too much. I didn't notice any unusual movements. I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I came back. Although I was with you, it wasn't me who was on duty. I was just passing by."

She recalled carefully that Yue Daiyuan was sitting beside her, holding her head in pain.

She started to blame herself when Geng Jihuan told her, but now Bai Yunshu cleared herself with just a few words and a smile.

It was indeed my own fault. I shouldn't have indulged myself in that moment of pleasure last night.

"It's really over. If the Sect Master finds out about this, you can really come to visit me in the back mountain next year. Remember to bring me two jars of good wine."

Bai Yunshu slapped her on the head.

"It's already late, and you're still thinking about wine. Doesn't Geng Jihuan have a morning meeting? Hurry up and leave. Relax. The mess has already been made, and we just need to fix it. Who knows when she will come out of seclusion."

She gave Yue Daiyuan a reassurance, and Yue Daiyuan thought about it.

"Yeah, let's go, let's make up for it first."

Bai Yunshu and Yue Daiyuan went to the sect's main hall together and waited for Geng Jihuan to arrive.

This morning, when the disciples saw Geng Jihuan teaching, their eyes were full of curiosity.

It’s strange that Yue Daiyuan didn’t come.

Geng Jihuan stood in front of them holding a small stick, with a serious expression.

"I'm going to a meeting. You two should take care of yourselves. Yan Weiwan and Yin Huan, you two will take the lead and supervise. Swing the sword eight thousand times, control the sword for half an hour, and fly the sword for half an hour. I will come back to check anytime, anywhere. Do you understand?"

Yin Huan and Yan Weiwan looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

“I heard it!”

The disciples were quite well behaved. Geng Jihuan watched them for a while and felt that there was nothing to worry about, so he rushed towards the sect's main hall.

Yue Daiyuan and Bai Yunshu were already sitting inside. When Bai Yunshu saw Geng Jihuan, a wry smile appeared on his face.

"Senior Sister, good morning."

She greeted him warmly, but it was obvious that Geng Jihuan didn't want to pay attention to her.

Geng Jihuan snorted coldly and sat down next to him.

"Tell me, how should we solve this problem?"

Bai Yunshu remained silent and fixed his gaze on Yue Daiyuan.

Yue Daiyuan, who was judged to be the culprit, had a headache.

"We can only determine this after the two guarding disciples wake up. I wonder if they saw who broke in. I checked the barrier and found no loopholes."

Yue Daiyuan analyzed, and Bai Yunshu shook his head helplessly, saying, "Not necessarily."

"Although there are no loopholes in the barrier, what if someone sneaked in during the day? Are there any unusual behaviors among the disciples who went out to buy things? Are there any strange behaviors among the disciples who were on patrol every day?"

She suspected that someone had sneaked in during the day and taken action at night.

Geng Jihuan shook his head.

Now she had no idea.

This morning, when she heard the disciple's report, she went to the Hiding Pavilion. There were many evil objects in it. Everything else was still in its original place, only the Jade Book of Floating Life was gone.

The guarding disciple had been knocked unconscious, and she had given him medicine, but he showed no signs of waking up.

Geng Jihuan whispered, "I'll keep an eye on what you've said over the next few days. Procurement is prohibited for now, and those little guys should fast early. The evil creature must still be within the sect. The sect master has set up the Ten Thousand Silk Formation. If it gets out, the alarm will definitely go off."

As she spoke, she looked out into the sky.

"Let's search the sect first. We can't rule out the possibility that someone with higher cultivation has joined the sect and cleverly avoided the Ten Thousand Silk Formation."

"Okay, you take care of those two disciples first. If they wake up, notify us immediately. Elder Ying Su and I will search for them in the sect first."

Yue Daiyuan spoke with uneasy thoughts, and Bai Yunshu comforted her in time.

"Let's go. First, go to the Hiding Pavilion and see if there are any clues. Then, post a notice. If any disciple finds it and returns it, there will be a reward."

Yue Daiyuan nodded and followed her pace.

Yin Huan stood at the foot of a tree next to the Guchun training ground, looking at the books on the ground, completely in a trance.

It's strange... I always hear my own voice.

"Pick it up quickly. It's destined for you and will be very useful."

Someone had been whispering in her ear all morning, leading her here.

She felt something was amiss and didn't dare to act rashly.

"Yin Huan, what are you doing there?"

Yan Weiwan's voice sounded from behind. Yin Huan looked at the booklet, his hands moving faster than his brain.

Before Yan Weiwan reached her side, she had already picked up the booklet and put it in her arms in a panic.
