Chapter 476: Punishment Deserved

Kong Zhao's face darkened as he lifted the little girl up by the collar and threw her aside, snorting coldly.

"You still have the nerve to complain? Go apologize to your junior brother!"

Kong Zhao was really frightened when the sword light just slashed out. He was already thinking about how to treat Xiao Changheng if he was injured by such power and how long he would need to recuperate.

Although it was a pleasant surprise that Xiao Changheng was fine, Kong Zhao was still furious.

“Wow…” The girl in the pink skirt cried even louder, “Master, you don’t like Axue anymore! Axue is so sad, wuwawawa…”

Kong Zhao's face darkened even more, and he said angrily:

"Stop pretending! If you keep crying, I'll confiscate your sword!"

"oh."

The girl named Axue immediately stopped crying and looked at Xiao Changheng with a smile as if nothing had happened:

"Junior brother, I'm sorry! It was wrong of me to attack you. Next time, I'll tell you before I attack you..."

Kong Zhao glared at her, and she immediately shrank her neck and changed the subject:

"Hehe, Junior Brother has become so powerful now! He is truly worthy of being trained by our Master!"

"Okay, you can leave now!" Kong Zhao wanted to cover the mouth of this unreliable disciple, and drove him away with a black line on his face.

Ah Xue dodged to the side, but shamelessly refused to leave. She blinked at Yun Qingqing and saluted with a bright smile:

"Greetings, Master! I'm Murong Fuxue, Master's seventh disciple~!"

Yun Qingqing raised an eyebrow and looked at the girl, then nodded slightly.

Murong Fuxue's smile grew even brighter upon hearing her response. She immediately came forward and asked in a low voice:

"Master, I heard from my junior sister and the elders that you and my junior brother are husband and wife. Is this true?"

"Yes." Yun Qingqing nodded, not knowing why she asked this.

Murong Fuxue widened her eyes:

"That junior brother's magical weapon..."

"Yes, I gave it to him." Yun Qingqing said calmly.

Murong Fuxue's eyes began to shine.

But Kong Zhao obviously knew what kind of character this disciple was, and glared at her fiercely:

"Alright, back off!"

"Oh..." Murong Fuxue shrank her neck and retreated quickly.

But before she left, she looked back at Yun Qingqing and blinked at her.

Kong Zhao shook his head tiredly, came to Yun Qingqing and said awkwardly:

"Master, please don't be offended..."

"Master, there's no need to be like this," Yun Qingqing said gently, "You are Xiao Changheng's teacher, so I should call you Master. You can just call me by my name."

Kong Zhao was a little dazed, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Ever since Yun Qingqing appeared in front of her, she has been subverting her cognition time and time again.

But looking back now, Yun Qingqing was actually calm and composed from beginning to end, and never got angry because of being looked down upon. Now everyone is in awe and admiring her, but she doesn't seem to be arrogant at all.

Kong Zhao suddenly realized something in his heart. Is this the state of mind of a true hermit?

"Let's go, we can go back to Shuihua Sect now." Yun Qingqing nodded to Kong Zhao.

Kong Zhao collected his thoughts, let out a long breath, and the others returned to the main hall together. He led everyone on flying swords to Shuihua Sect.

When we returned to Shuihua Sect, it was already late.

Yun Qingqing and Xiao Changheng went straight back to the villa, waiting to get the soul-gathering cup the next day so that they could return to the capital to gather the emperor's soul.

After a simple dinner, Yun Qingqing took Xiao Changheng's black jade waist pendant, placed it on the palm of her hand, gathered spiritual power with her fingertips and tapped lightly on the center of it to replenish the consumed spiritual power.

Xiao Changheng sat aside and watched her movements quietly.

Yun Qingqing suddenly asked casually:

"What about Murong Fuxue? Did she fight with you often before?"

Xiao Changheng frowned slightly and nodded:

"Um."

He obviously didn't intend to say more. Yun Qingqing had never been one to meddle in other people's business, but for some reason, she suddenly became interested in this matter and asked again:

"How will they fight? Who will win more?"

Xiao Changheng was silent for a while, rubbing his eyebrows:

"It's half and half, but no matter who wins, we will both get hurt, and then she will be punished by the master."

Yun Qingqing was slightly startled and turned to look at him:

"Just punish her?"

Xiao Changheng had no expression on his face:

"Among my senior sisters, she's the only one who always likes to challenge me. I didn't quite understand why Master only punished her before. Today I understand it's because she always uses more than just sword moves. No wonder she's always so difficult to deal with."

Yun Qingqing: “…”

As for using spiritual power to deal with ordinary people, I can only say that it was fortunate that we were all children back then and didn't have any advanced knowledge.

The punishment is well deserved.

Xiao Changheng suddenly whispered again:

"But it was thanks to Seventh Senior Sister that my swordsmanship was able to improve so quickly... After all, besides her, only Master was willing to fight with me, but Master's moves were too gentle."

Yun Qingqing paused for a moment, then continued to transfer spiritual power to the Xuan jade pendant as if nothing had happened.

She could understand the meaning of Xiao Changheng's words.

He, an ordinary person, stayed in a mysterious sect like Shuihua Sect to learn skills for several years without knowing anything.

The master secretly took great care of him and even created a mysterious vacuum zone for him, which inevitably made him feel like an outsider.

In this situation, if someone asks him to practice swordsmanship, no matter what the reason is, no matter whether he gets injured every time, it must mean something special to him.

Yun Qingqing filled the black jade pendant with spiritual power and returned it to Xiao Changheng.

He took it, was silent for a moment, and whispered:

"Thanks."

Yun Qingqing felt inexplicably irritated and said lightly, "Hmm."

"You take a rest. I need to refine my willpower."

After saying that, she turned and left, going to the side room.

Xiao Changheng watched her leave, clenched the black jade pendant in his hand, and the words his master said today emerged in his mind again.

After a long time, he slowly sighed.

…

Yun Qingqing conquered more than thirty sects in Baiheling in one fell swoop. At this moment, his whole body was filled with surging willpower, and it was time to refine it immediately.

However, after she sat cross-legged, she could never get into the state.

Blood clouds kept swirling in his mind, and the scene of Xiao Changheng vomiting blood after being hit by Duan Xiangrong's palm emerged. Sometimes, Murong Fuxue slashed at him with a sword, and the sword light hit him...

Yun Qingqing frowned and opened her eyes, thinking that maybe it was because Xiao Changheng was seriously injured today, which was a fulfillment of his bloody disaster. Although the final result was not as serious as the bloody fate he had seen before, the misfortune had come true after all, and she couldn't help but worry that the same thing would happen again in the future.

And that Murong Fuxue...

Yun Qingqing frowned, waved away the thought, and simply pinched the Qingxin Jue before finally starting to meditate properly.

She had previously fought against Qingfengzi and the master behind him, and consumed almost half of the spiritual power in her Qi Sea in the small world.

However, he conquered more than 30 Xuanmen sects at once. Although they were all small and medium-sized sects, the accumulation of small amounts should not be underestimated.

She meditated until noon. By the time it was over, the spiritual power in her Qi Sea was so full that it even touched the boundary of breakthrough.

Yun Qingqing slowly opened her eyes and felt much better.

After regaining consciousness, she was suddenly stunned.

She had set up a barrier before meditating, and now there were obviously people outside the barrier, and there were quite a few of them.

Yun Qingqing stood up, removed the barrier and walked out.

As soon as he went out, he saw Murong Fuxue waiting in the yard, with at least twenty Shuihua Sect disciples behind her.

Seeing her come out, Murong Fuxue immediately smiled brightly and came forward to greet her:

"Master Chief! You finally came out! We have been waiting for you for a long time!"
