Chapter 528: The Way of Interpersonal Relationships
With one hand behind her back, the Seventh Elder stared expressionlessly at Longxi, who was kneeling on the ground in excruciating pain. She parted her red lips slightly and said, "To speak so arrogantly in front of an elder, it seems that the so-called number one disciple of the Lotus Sect has used all his skills on the Lotus Needle, so he knows nothing about etiquette."
The clear, melodious voice carried an absolute killing intent, and Longxi was so frightened that cold sweat poured down her back, and she couldn't utter a single word.
In that instant, Longxi's mind was no longer on the intense pain in the back of her hand. The pain had been overshadowed by the undisguised killing intent emanating from the Seventh Elder. She felt both apprehensive and fearful of the Seventh Elder.
Yan Wu quickly said, "This... senior, it was my fault for not disciplining my disciple properly. I hope you will be magnanimous and forgive her this time!"
"Furthermore... the hands of a Lotus Sect disciple are extremely important; they are the part of the human body used to manipulate the Lotus Needles. You injured my disciple's hands with your spiritual energy..."
The Seventh Elder coldly raised the corners of his lips: "Sect Leader of the Lotus Sect, your disciple used these hands to manipulate the Lotus Needles to attack Xiao Fei'er yesterday. Putting aside whether it was intentional or not, is your disciple's hand important, but is my Xiao Fei'er's life not important?"
"Treating them the same way you would treat them. I may not pursue your disciple's actions, but Xiao Fei'er is my adopted little sister. If she is bullied, I will stand up for her."
Yan Wu was shocked. What? This "girl"... is actually an elder of Lingfeng Academy!
The Seventh Elder ignored Yan Wu and instead strode up to Longxi. With a flick of her finger, she sent a burst of dark spiritual energy toward Longxi, forcing her to look up at her.
“If your master won’t discipline you, then I will discipline you in your master’s place.”
The Seventh Elder looked down at Longxi from his high position, his pupils filled with coldness: "What happened today was just a trivial lesson. Do you understand?"
Longxi trembled under the oppressive aura emanating from the Seventh Elder, and managed to utter only one sentence: "I...I understand..."
The Seventh Elder smiled with satisfaction, waved his hand, and the spiritual energy and pressure were immediately removed. Longxi's body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.
"As for Xiao Fei'er's visit to the Lotus Sect, I think we should discuss it another time." The Seventh Elder glanced at Yan Wu lightly. "In addition, I would like to give the Lotus Sect Leader a piece of advice: what you should teach your disciples is not only the skill of manipulating the Lotus Needle, but also the way of dealing with people."
Yan Wu slowly raised her hand to bow to the Seventh Elder. Even though she was being reprimanded by the Seventh Elder, she dared not say a word of dissent: "Thank you for your admonition, senior."
The Seventh Elder turned and walked into Lingfeng Academy with a flick of his sleeve. A gust of demonic wind blew in from somewhere and slammed the door shut with a loud bang!
Watching that bright red figure gradually disappear into the distance, Yan Wu sighed inwardly and slowly helped Long Xi up.
As her gaze fell upon Longxi's pale face, Yanwu couldn't help but ask herself: Was she really spoiling her disciple too much?
Today it was just an elder from Lingfeng Academy who stepped in to teach Xi'er a lesson. What if next time it's another powerful figure who can threaten the Lianhua Sect?
Yan Wu dared not think about it. With a gloomy face, she said to Long Xi in an annoyed tone, "After you go back, you will be confined for a month! Without my permission, you are not allowed to manipulate the Lotus Needles!"
Longxi looked up at her master in disbelief: "...Why are you punishing me by confining me to my quarters? Why are you forbidding me from using the Lotus Needle?"
"You still dare to ask why?"
Yan Wu was furious: "Don't think I don't know why you hurt that little girl! She came to the Lotus Sect as a guest, not to become a disciple!"
