Chapter 22 The Price of Provoking the Sword Sect
"Why did you have to mess with the Sword Sect when you could mess with anyone else?"
"How many times have I told you to stay away from the Sword Sect, stay away from the Sword Sect? You promised me, but what happened? It would have been fine if you had provoked an ordinary disciple of the Sword Sect, but you chose to provoked Du Xueling! I think you've really grown up!"
"What the hell are you talking about? You went to teach the outer sect, but you didn't seem to care about the disciples of the Dharma Sect? You taught the class, but you finished it. You walked away halfway through the class and took your anger out on the innocent disciples. Is this what a true disciple should do? Where did you learn your manners? You did this in public, giving people something to talk about! You are making a fool of our Dharma Sect!"
After Du Xueling left, Yan Huai called Chu Songping and scolded him.
Chu Songping knew that he was in the wrong and did not refute it. He nodded seriously throughout, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Today, Du Xueling led the disciples of the Sword Sect to kneel for a long time in the Tianqian Dao of the Law Sect, claiming that they wanted to seek justice for the disciples of the sect. This made Yan Huai feel helpless and embarrassed, so it was within his expectations that he would be angry with him at this moment.
He never thought that the matter that was agreed upon in private could be found by the senior sister to bring it up in public. It was really——
Not reasonable.
Yan Huai said: "Go and apologize to Master Du right away, and quickly make the elixir that he asked you to make!"
Chu Songping said: "You can apologize, but you can't make the elixir."
Yan Huai was furious: "You have such a bad temper. I think you just haven't been beaten enough! Once you get beaten by Du Xueling, you will know how powerful you are!"
Chu Songping asked in confusion: "How do you know so much? Could it be that... you have been beaten?"
Yan Huai: “…”
A look of condemnation fell coldly on Chu Songping's face.
Chu Songping lowered his head, looked at his nose and thought: "This is my karma, I will take full responsibility for it!"
"You're responsible for nothing! Do you really think you are..."
Yan Huai stopped abruptly in the middle of his words.
Chu Songping lowered his eyes and head, his heterochromatic eyes sparkling with light, and he looked both obedient and pitiful while kneeling, which reminded Yan Huai of how he looked when he first joined the sect.
No one would have thought that such a white, soft, sensible and obedient little kid would grow up to be like this today, like this...
never mind.
Don't want to think about it anymore.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
Yan Huai sighed:
"Forget it, forget it. I am the Dharma Sect. I cannot interfere with matters concerning alchemy. You are free to do whatever you want. But as for the teaching, you have abandoned it halfway. It is detrimental to the image of our sect. Starting from next month, you must teach the outer disciples every day for six months. You are not allowed to miss a single day!"
…
Nan Wang stayed in the Sword Sect for a few more days to consolidate his cultivation. After his realm was stabilized, he returned to the outer sect, and the first thing he did was to catch An Nuo and give him a fierce beating.
“Chichichi!”
Okay, okay, I know you have reached the seventh level of physical training!
Many of An Nuo's hairs were kissed off by Nan Wang, but since Nan Wang had made great progress this time, he endured it silently.
Tutu's eyes were doting and helpless, her soft belly rose and fell, and Nanwang rubbed it desperately with his face buried in it.
Nan Wang had sucked enough of the rabbits and happily boasted about what he had seen and heard in the Sword Sect during this period, from the snow-covered valley to the medicinal baths filled with spiritual energy. Finally, he concluded: "Spiritual medicine is really useful. If I had an endless supply of spiritual medicine, I would have been very successful and ascended to heaven in broad daylight!"
“Chichichi!”
Miraculous medicine is only effective when one's cultivation level is low. Once one's cultivation level is high, not to mention magical medicine, even elixirs will be useless.
An Nuo ruthlessly shattered Nan Wang's fantasy.
"Hey, I know, that's what I said."
Nan Wang smiled shyly and continued, "I still can't figure out how I ended up joining the Sword Sect for no apparent reason. Joining the Sword Sect is fine, but the senior sisters are so kind to me, giving me a mansion and elixirs. I always feel like I'm dreaming..."
"Chichichi."
Why think so much? You are a clean-handed person with nothing to gain, and you have nothing to plot for. If someone treats you well, just remember the favor and repay him/her in the future.
"Too."
Nan Wang nodded, and then shifted his attention to other things:
"The residence that Senior Sister gave me is really great. It's big and has everything. I see that stove is well built and can be used anytime. I want to cook a hot pot and barbecue to entertain Senior Brother and Senior Sister to thank them for helping me practice. Can you come along?"
Annuo said disdainfully: "Ji!"
Not interested, not going.
"Chichichi."
There are too many people and too many eyes. I cannot show up in front of outsiders because it will affect my cultivation.
Nanwang said unhappily, "What do you mean by affecting your cultivation? I always hear you say that, but didn't you drink chicken soup with Fifth Junior Sister last time? I think you were doing fine."
An Nuo: “…”
Although I don't want to admit it, what Nanwang said is indeed right.
Last time, I ate a few more chicken legs because of greed, and was exposed to Fifth Junior Sister for a long time, but the situation of "affecting cultivation" did not occur.
Spirit beasts are like demon beasts in that they are mainly inherited through blood, and their talents and skills are innate at birth.
The bloodline of An Nuo repeatedly emphasizes "don't expose yourself to outsiders", "stay away from the world", and "be cautious".
Annuo has never doubted his bloodline and rarely reveals his true identity to others.
——Until he met Nan Wang and was caught in a trap made of carrot cakes by Nan Wang.
Thinking about it now, it still finds it hard to believe.
The bloodline inheritance he had maintained for so long fell apart so easily in front of Nanwang.
“Chichichi…”
I actually find it a bit strange, since other immortal beasts in the sect clearly don’t need to hide from the world…
Annuo expressed his confusion with difficulty, his little heart gradually wavering.
Nan Wang's eyes lit up, and he pressed on, "Right? You don't want other rabbits, why do you want one? And your definition of an 'outsider' is not clear enough. What is an 'outsider'? Is a stranger still an outsider if you get familiar with him? Or does everyone else count as an 'outsider'? I haven't made a beast contract with you, so I should be considered an 'outsider', but you appear in front of me every day, and it doesn't seem to affect your cultivation."
An Nuo: “…”
Damn, I’m almost convinced.
Nanwang continued to whisper to the devil: "Go, go, you can hide in the house after you go, don't come out on weekdays, I will set up a grill outside and send it to you when it's done, is that okay?"
Annuo drooped his ears to his head, closed his eyes, put his hands into his pockets, and rejected the temptation.
"You have never eaten barbecue, right? Barbecue is, for example, your favorite carrots, washed and peeled, cut into small pieces, skewered, placed on an iron rack, heated and grilled until half cooked, then turned over and continued to grill, and sprinkled with special seasoning powder after the surface is browned. If you like to dip it in sauce, you can also dip it in sauce. The taste can be adjusted as you like. In addition to carrots, meat is also delicious when barbecued. The rack is sizzling with oil..."
An Nuo: “Ji.”
go.
It doesn't matter whether it is roasted or not, the main thing is that the Sword Sect's spiritual energy is high in concentration and is more suitable for practice.
