When the imposing Mu Yu pulled the bewildered junior brother Shu Chen over, Shu Chen was still eating in the dining hall. He had just sat down when he saw his senior brother heading straight for him with a dark face.
Before he could figure out what was going on, he had already been taken by his senior brother to the Talisman Sect's disciple building, to the small playground near the female cultivators' building.
From a distance, you could see a dense crowd gathered around.
Mu Yu watched as Zhu Yi leaped into the air, wielding a powerful sword that slashed down fiercely at the attacking fellow disciples. He twitched the corner of his mouth.
Those who gather to cause trouble and engage in fights will be locked up in the disciplinary hall to receive punishment.
"Hey! Junior Sister, stop fighting! Senior Brother Mu Yu and Senior Brother Shu Chen are here!"
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted loudly, signaling the group of people who were fighting fiercely to stop immediately.
Shu Chen reacted swiftly, throwing out seven or eight immobilization talismans, instantly freezing Zhu Yi in place.
She was seething with anger, and she was really into the fight! Soon she would be able to apply the principles of the five elements' spiritual energy transformation to actual combat!
She had just gotten into the zone when she was intercepted!
The female cultivators, led by Lanxiang, were like flies to an egg when they saw Shuchen, eager to rush over and complain.
Five pairs of beautiful, affectionate eyes looked at Shu Chen timidly, as if they had a thousand words they wanted to say but couldn't express them immediately.
Seeing the ridiculous, affected expressions on the faces of the five people opposite, Zhu Yi was instantly excited. Here they come, the villains are going to accuse first!
Wei Weiwei walked unsteadily to Zhu Yi's side to check if she was injured.
Xue Shan, who was running around the playground and was out of breath, caught up with her. Hua Nuansu, still holding a vegetable spoon, was about to continue chasing her, but Mu Yu stopped her.
"Senior Brother Shuchen, Wei Weiwei is so unreasonable! Today I saw her having some trouble drawing talismans by herself in the grove, and I was thinking of giving her some pointers, but it only made her unhappy." Lanxiang complained to Shuchen with a pitiful look on her face. "Not only did she not appreciate it, but she even brought two helpers to block the front of the female cultivators' building last night, humiliated me, and even claimed that she would take me to the Discipline Hall to teach me a lesson!"
"That's right! We couldn't stand it, so we came over and tried to reason with Wei Weiwei, but the three of them were unreasonable and forced us to fight!"
"We were just concerned about Junior Sister Weiwei. She came from the Hehuan Sect and came to our side. As her fellow disciples, we thought we should take care of her, but then they..."
"Bullshit! Try farting again!" Zhu Yi couldn't take it anymore. "Hey, you guys are really shameless!"
"It was clearly you who bullied my two senior sisters first. I couldn't reason with you, so you called Hua Nuansu to teach the three of us a lesson!"
"How dare you! You keep saying that the female cultivators from our Hehuan Sect seduced your Senior Brother Shuchen!" Zhu Yi coldly looked at Shuchen, who was tall and handsome, standing next to Mu Yu, and took her anger out on him.
Shu Chen suddenly felt much colder from head to toe...
"You're Senior Brother Shu Chen from the Talisman Sect, right?" Zhu Yi's bright eyes were blazing with anger. "Release the immobilization talisman for me first!"
Shu Chen choked and looked a little uncomfortable, so he released the immobilization spell from the junior sisters and the two groups stood in separate rows.
Zhu Yi stretched her wrists, ankles, and knees, her face unfriendly. She raised her hand and pointed at the female cultivators opposite her, saying, "These shrewish women like you and can't stand you looking at my Senior Sister Weiwei even a little bit. Not only do they bully her every day, but they also insult all the disciples from our Hehuan Sect."
Mu Yu raised an eyebrow. The Zhu Yi he had seen earlier was severely injured and listless.
Now, with such a fierce temper, she's exactly the same as when her Uncle Yujing was being unreasonable.
Zhu Yi rolled up Wei Weiwei's sleeves, revealing patches of bruises on the girl's slender, fair wrists. She then pulled Xue Shan over, pointing to Xue Shan's dusty and disheveled appearance, and said to Shu Chen, "If it weren't for Sister Shanshan coming to find Sister Weiwei today and helping her fend off those shrewish women, I probably wouldn't have known if they had bullied her even more violently!"
After saying that, Zhu Yi ignored Shu Chen's astonished gaze.
She walked up to Mu Yu, clasped her hands in a polite greeting, and said, "I apologize for disturbing you today, Senior Brother Mu Yu. These shrewish women from the Talisman Sect are far too domineering, their foul language is even worse than that of the brothel madams on the red-light district!"
"I intended to reason with them, but they insulted and hurled insults at our Hehuan Sect. They not only compared us to courtesans and concubines, but also brought the mentally unstable Hua Nuansu to teach us a lesson. This is truly intolerable!"
Zhu Yi looked indignant. To Mu Yu, she resembled a cat that had been angered, with chubby cheeks that looked rather cute.
"And what about you? What's your story?" He turned to the group of five, his face expressionless. "Have you spoken disrespectfully towards the Hehuan Sect?"
The group of five felt guilty and dared not answer, each hanging their heads and looking at each other.
"Yes or no?" Mu Yu asked again sternly.
"So, they just said that the people from the Hehuan Sect are all weak in cultivation and were bullied badly, but they didn't say anything else..." A follower, unable to withstand Mu Yu's stern questioning, answered tremblingly.
The other four looked at her with hostility.
"Then who did this to Junior Sister Weiwei's arm?" Mu Yu asked again.
This time, the five people truly lowered their heads and remained silent, and Mu Yu had already deduced the general situation.
"..."
"Hmph! Who taught you to bully the weak?" Mu Yu said unhappily. He usually had a blank face and no expression, but now that he was a little angry, he scared the people around him so much that they dared not breathe.
Mu Yu glanced at Shu Chen with a less-than-gentle expression: "After all, you are the eldest disciple of the Talisman Sect. The junior sisters below are ignorant, so you should also teach them properly."
Shu Chen knew that his senior brother was saving face for him and asking him to speak up and calm things down.
"Senior Brother is right. We cannot tolerate the disciples' bullying, oppression, and other evil deeds. I will report to Master Hanbai and have these junior sisters spend half a year in solitary contemplation at the Cliff of Repentance."
Xue Shan and Wei Weiwei felt relieved upon hearing this. They exchanged a glance and listened quietly. They trusted their junior sister and decided to let her handle the negotiations.
"Hmm." Mu Yu nodded, looking at Zhu Yi as if to ask how this should be handled.
I understand perfectly well; of course, I'm not satisfied with this approach!
She mimicked Mu Yu's manner, her face dark as she confronted him: "They bullied my two senior sisters like this, and all they're done with is making them stand in the corner?"
The surrounding disciples looked at Zhu Yi with curiosity: The two senior brothers punished Lanxiang and the others as soon as they arrived, what more does this little girl want? Isn't she satisfied?
"Simply making them reflect on their mistakes isn't enough. What if they come out in six months and cause trouble for me, Sister Weiwei?"
"Sister Shanshan and I also have our own things to do. We can't come to the Fu Sect every day to ensure Sister Weiwei's safety!"
Wei Weiwei felt a little ashamed. Her face turned red without her realizing it. She lowered her head quietly, avoiding looking at the gazes directed at her.
Xue Shan held her hand beside her, offering support and reassuring her not to be afraid.
Shu Chen looked at Zhu Yi and asked her gently, "What does this junior sister think?"
Zhu Yi paused for a moment: "Actually, there's no need to punish them any further."
"It's good that they can honestly face the wall and reflect on their mistakes. However, before they go to face the wall, each of them needs to apologize to the three of us and write a letter of apology. Then, we would like to trouble Senior Brother Danzong to write down the whole story and post it, along with their letters, on the notice board next to the sect's mission hall, so that fellow disciples coming and going can take this as a warning!"
Those around her gasped again. This junior sister was ruthless! How utterly shameful!
"Especially since they attacked my two senior sisters before! They have to make amends!"
