Chapter 1 The Young Master of the Luo Family

The Chongguang faction

Sect Leader Xiao Tianchuan stared at the man and woman kneeling in the center of the hall, and was especially enraged when he saw that Mu Yurou's face was injured. "What are the sect rules?"

"Those who belong to the same sect must not kill each other."

"You two turned against each other with swords over a single Ganoderma lucidum."

Both of them were at fault.

Song Weilan: !!!

She refused to accept it!

How can both of them be at fault?

The one who is at fault is clearly Mu Yurou alone.

She found the Ganoderma lucidum, and Mu Yurou wanted it, so she tried to snatch it.

Unable to snatch it, Mu Yurou simply crushed it.

Also, the injury on Mu Yurou's face was caused by her own scratching herself while dodging.

That's exactly what they deserved.

The master remained as biased as ever.

Xiao Tianchuan glanced at Luo Xi and said, word by word, "Then we'll deal with it according to the sect rules. Each person will receive twenty lashes."

His gaze fell on Mu Yurou. "Yurou is injured. I will take the punishment for her."

Song Weilan: !!!

He took the punishment in place of Mu Yurou?

And what about her?

As her fellow apprentice, why didn't he suffer in her place?

Moreover, Mu Yurou only suffered a minor injury.

Luo Xi glanced at Xiao Tianchuan, frowned, and thought to herself:

Does Sect Leader Xiao really enjoy taking the blame for others?

In principle, punishment should only be considered a punishment if it is imposed on the person who was punished.

Now that he has taken the punishment on behalf of Mu Yurou, what is the point of this punishment?

It seems that Sect Leader Xiao is quite biased.

Luo Xi's eyes flickered slightly as she glanced at Song Weilan a few times.

Song Weilan saw it and understood immediately.

The next second, she coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Everyone: !!!

Why did you vomit so much blood?

Did she suffer internal injuries?

Mu Yurou: !!!

Luo Xi looked at Xiao Tianchuan and said, "Sect Leader Xiao, your disciple seems to be more seriously injured."

"She seems to be even less able to take punishment."

"We're both apprentices, you wouldn't be so biased, would you?"

Xiao Tianchuan: !!!

He wanted to favor Mu Yurou and didn't want Song Weilan to be punished instead.

However, with outsiders present, he dared not show too much favoritism, lest he become a laughingstock.

He clenched his fist. "Of course not."

Mu Yurou: !!!

Does Master intend to take the punishment in Song Weilan's place?

This won't do.

Mu Yurou shouted, "No!"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at her.

Under everyone's gaze, Mu Yurou forced herself to say, "Forty lashes is too much. Master's injuries from last time haven't healed yet."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xi nodded in agreement, "That's true."

"Forty lashes are indeed too much."

She looked at Mu Yurou and said, "Your injuries are less severe than hers."

"Since you care so much about your master, you can take those twenty lashes yourself."

"In that case, your master will only receive twenty lashes."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Mu Yurou.

Even Xiao Tianchuan looked at her.

Mu Yurou: !!!

Why are they all staring at her like that?

She didn't want to be punished; she wanted Song Weilan to be punished.

She only "accidentally" stepped on Song Weilan's Ganoderma lucidum. Why would she have to attack her?

If it weren't for Song Weilan, she wouldn't have had her face scratched by a tree branch while dodging.

Also, Song Weilan's injury is definitely fake, because she was never actually injured.

She bit her lip. "Master, Second Senior Sister was fine just now, how come she suddenly vomited blood?"

Could it be an act?

Everyone knows what she left unsaid.

Xiao Tianchuan also had doubts.

His gaze was fixed on Song Weilan...
