Chapter 7 Join my sword sect, I have the final say

"Big Brother!"

"Big big big senior brother!"

The lackeys were almost frightened to death.

What day is it today? Why are the high-ranking true disciples lining up to come to the territory of their menial disciples?

"Big big big big senior brother!"

Zhu Wolong trembled and said:

"We heard that Nanwang provoked you in front of all the elders! We killed his spirit beast to vent your anger! Unexpectedly, the Fifth Master and Fifth Senior Sister happened to pass by and beat us up like this after a disagreement. Senior Brother, please take charge of us!"

Zhu Tianque nodded and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Zhu Wolong was stunned: "Ah, did I laugh? I didn't laugh?"

The next second, the world spun around and his head once again touched the ground.

The familiar scene, the familiar feeling of not being able to raise the head, the familiar feeling of being unable to utter the words to beg for mercy.

Scored twice.

Zhu Wolong's eyes were lifeless as he stared straight ahead, as if he could hear the sound of his own Taoist heart being shattered.

Zhu Tianque said coldly: "I clearly heard you laughing at me."

…

When Zhu Tianque found Nanwang, Nanwang and Lingzhi were just filling the last shovel of soil.

After eating the chicken, the bones should not be thrown away randomly. The best way to deal with them is to bury them where they are.

"Big Brother? What are you doing here?!"

Lingzhi noticed Zhu Tianque, and quickly dropped his shovel, and quickly stepped in front of Nanwang, using his small body to protect Nanwang tightly:

"Big Brother, you are not allowed to punish Brother Nanwang! If you want to punish you, punish Lingzhi!"

There is no rule in the Qingyun Sect that forbids the cooking of spirit beasts, but this behavior is indeed a bit problematic and fully deserves the description of "cruel nature".

If it was someone else's Lingzhi who came, I wouldn't be so nervous, but it had to be the eldest senior brother!

Senior Brother Nanwang just made Senior Brother lose face in front of so many people a few days ago. Who knows, Senior Brother might take this opportunity to take revenge!

Lingzhi looked at Zhu Tianque warily, the silver bell hanging on the end of her hair buzzing.

Zhu Tianque glanced at Lingzhi and said, "Of course you are the one being punished. You relied on your high level of cultivation to beat up your fellow disciples. I will punish you by confining you to reflect on your mistakes for a month after you return to the sect. Do you accept this?"

"What! Of course I don't..."

Zhu Tianque took a small step to the side, allowing Lingzhi to see clearly the five or six bruised-faced menial disciples behind him, including Zhu Wolong.

"...Lingzhi is convinced."

With all the witnesses present, Lingzhi had no choice but to accept the punishment.

"etc."

Nan Wang frowned and took the initiative to stand up and speak for the fifth sister:

"Big Brother must have made a mistake. How could Fifth Sister beat them? She was with me the whole time and had no time to fight. These people are the ones who are always picking fights and bullying. It's normal for them to get beaten up if they provoke someone they shouldn't..."

"Brother Nanwang!"

Lingzhi grabbed Nanwang's sleeve tightly, forcing him to bend down.

She leaned close to Nanwang's ear and whispered:

"Brother, please don't go against Senior Brother for the sake of Lingzhi. Senior Brother is narrow-minded and holds grudges! Lingzhi is fine. He only needs to reflect for a month. Lingzhi can sneak out!"

Nanwang: “…”

I never thought that true disciples would bully their fellow disciples like this.

The eldest senior brother in the original novel is a good man who can clearly distinguish between good and evil, and who helps the weak and fights for the strong. Apart from the wrong things he did because of Bai Fu Tu's deception, his daily behavior can indeed be described as that of a noble Buddhist who cares about the world.

Alas, it turns out that talking about military affairs on paper is too superficial. Only after actual contact can you know that the senior brother is such a shameless person.

In comparison, Junior Sister Lingzhi is as cute and adorable as described in the book, without any brains... No, without brains is a thing for the future. Now Junior Sister Five is just cute and adorable.

The adorable Lingzhi was looking at those chores disciples with a frown on his face.

Did she just...beat these people so badly?

She clearly remembered that she had only cast a small spell and had not done anything excessive to them. She was in a hurry to meet her senior brother, so how could she have the time to waste on these people?

But now, look at these people, each one of them is covered in dust and wounds, as if they had just gone through a big battle.

Especially the leader Zhu Wolong, whose face was covered in bruises, but why was his hand also broken? When did she break Zhu Wolong's hand?

Lingzhi's little head was filled with big doubts, and he always felt that he had overlooked something very important.

Zhu Tianque's gaze fell on the earthen slope behind Nanwang and he sighed:

"It's a pity for my brother's spirit beast. If I had come earlier, maybe it could have been saved. Now that it's been buried, there's nothing I can do. I just hope my brother's spirit beast can rest in peace underground."

Nanwang: “…”

It has already rested in my stomach, burp.

Spiritual branch: “…”

Rest in peace, especially rest in peace, hiccup.

Zhu Tianque said to Zhu Wolong and the others, "You killed your fellow disciples' spirit beasts and are cruel. As the elder brother of Qingyun Sect, I will enforce the sect's rules and punish you to erect a monument in memory of the spirit beast. You must also find a similar spirit beast within one year and compensate Junior Brother Nan. During this year, except for the time spent looking for the spirit beast, you must reflect on your actions at the Cliff of Repentance!"

After saying this, Zhu Tianque turned around and said to Nan Wang, "Brother Nan, can you accept this punishment?"

Nanwang: “…”

Zhu Wolong suffered this unforeseen disaster for no reason, and he was very angry with Nan Wang. However, in front of his senior brother, he did not dare to lose his temper. He could only kowtow to Nan Wang and say:

"I am extremely ashamed for accidentally killing my spirit beast. I hope you will forgive me. I will go to great lengths to find a spirit beast like yours and compensate you!"

Lingzhi looked at Zhu Wolong trembling in front of Zhu Tianque, and suddenly he had an epiphany and understood everything.

She understood, she understood it all!

The eldest senior brother must have done the same thing as her. When he passed by, he heard that this group of people had killed Senior Brother Nanwang’s spirit beast, so he did the same thing as her—

Beat these guys up!

Damn it, the eldest senior brother actually blamed all the violence on her, and then he went to pretend to be a good guy in front of senior brother Nanwang. He, he, he, how could he have the nerve to do that!

Lingzhi was filled with hatred and wanted to expose the conspiracy of his senior brother immediately.

However, the next second, she figured out another thing.

In this incident of beating, she and the eldest senior brother were accomplices. If she exposed the eldest senior brother, then Senior Brother Nanwang would know that she also took action!

But, damn...

Yes, there are bad people, very bad, very bad people...

Lingzhi was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes, but her exquisite heart did not react at all.

Senior Brother's intention was blatant and he had no ill will towards her. Qi Huo Ling Long Xin would not feel hurt in this situation.

Nan Wang looked at the humble Zhu Wolong and his lackeys behind him, feeling filled with emotion.

He never expected that the script of "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west" would fall on his head one day.

Cool.

It feels so good.

only……

Nan Wang looked deeply at his colleagues, each of whose faces he was extremely familiar with, and turned to Zhu Tianque, clasping his fists and saying:

"Big Brother, I will be leaving the mountain tomorrow, and I won't need spirit beasts anymore... Let's let these people go this time. It's not easy for a chor disciple to practice, and there's no need to waste time practicing for a mere mortal like me."

The errand disciples looked at Nanwang in shock. They never expected that Nanwang would speak for them.

Zhu Tianque was stunned: "Go down the mountain? Why are you going down the mountain?"

Nanwang said bitterly, "Junior brother has practiced for many years but has not reached the fifth level of body refining. I am afraid that he has no chance of becoming an immortal. The manager said that tomorrow is an auspicious day, so he specially picked tomorrow to send Junior brother and other disciples back to the mortal world."

He did not dare to hope that Zhu Tianque came today just for him, and he did not dare to hope that he could cling to Zhu Tianque's thigh and continue to stay in the sect.

However, he specifically mentioned that tomorrow was an auspicious day for repatriating the disciples, as a way of setting a trap for the miscellaneous steward, so that Zhu Tianque would know that among the miscellaneous disciples there was such a steward who controlled the lives of the disciples and acted recklessly.

However, Nanwang did not expect that the bright and cheerful Buddhist did not hear his hidden meaning at all, but nodded and agreed:

"You are right. Tomorrow is indeed an auspicious day."

Nanwang: “……?”

Zhu Tianque said again:

"Pack your bags and join our Sword Sect tomorrow!"

Nanwang: “???”

Other miscellaneous disciples present: “???”

Lingzhi jumped up first: "Wait, I was the first one here, why should I let you join the Sword Sect? I don't agree, I want you to join my Weapon Sect!"

Nanwang: “???”

Is he dreaming?

What are the senior brother and the junior sister talking about?

How could a poor disciple who had nothing be robbed?

It wasn't just Nan Wang who was confused. The other errand disciples were even more confused than him. Zhu Wolong even opened his eyes wide and his mouth agape. His expression of disbelief matched perfectly with his face, which looked like a pig's head after being beaten twice. The visual effect was extremely funny.

Seeing that Nanwang didn't say anything, Lingzhi was afraid that Nanwang wanted to join the Sword Sect more than the Weapon Sect, so she hugged Nanwang's waist and cried, "I don't care, I want you to join my Weapon Sect!"

"Thank you very much for your kindness, Junior Sister... But, but I don't have a fire spirit root, so I really don't have the ability to refine weapons..."

When Nanwang said this, he felt a little confused.

No, how come he really brought it up?

Without the fire spirit root, it is impossible to refine weapons? Is he qualified to say this?

Refining instruments and refining elixirs are just different ways of seeking the truth and becoming an immortal. In the end, doesn't it still depend on one's level of cultivation?

If he could really go to Qi Zong, he could just sweep the floor there every day...

"What's the big deal! There are many disciples in the Weapon Sect who don't have fire spiritual roots, and I don't have fire spiritual roots! Even if you don't have fire spiritual roots, you can still use strange fire to temper it!"

Facing the rogue behavior of the spirit branch, Zhu Tianquesi was not afraid at all. He sneered and did not mention the matter of the spirit root at all. Instead, he said:

"Join your Weapon Sect? Do you have the final say on this matter?"

Lingzhi: “!!!”

As if this wasn’t exciting enough, Zhu Tianque added: “Join my sword sect, and I have the final say!”

Spiritual branch: “…”

Lingzhi: “Wow——”

The nine-year-old little sister finally burst into tears after being bullied by her elder brother.

What she could not accept the most was that her Seven-magic Heart was still beating normally until this moment.

——Senior Brother is not a bad person, he just follows his heart, says what he thinks, and does what he says and does. Even if his words are a little inconsiderate, it does not prevent him from being a good person.

The most impartial pointer of good and evil in the world, the Seven Secrets and Exquisite Heart, said so.

"I, I'll go to hell..."

Lingzhi burst into tears.

What is the Seven Secrets of the Exquisite Heart? It's useless!

The eldest senior brother is obviously a bad guy, a very bad, extremely bad guy!

"Wuwuwu, Senior Brother is bullying me by taking advantage of his power. I'm going to complain to Senior Sister, wuwuwu..."

Lingzhi cried with tears and snot.

Not knowing what to do, Nan Wang subconsciously reached for Tutu's shoulder, hoping to seek help from her.

However, Tutu had disappeared when Zhu Tianque appeared.

By now, even the white mist no longer lingered around Nanwang.

Nanwang: “…”

Zhu Tianque didn't even look at Lingzhi, and said to Nanwang coldly and ruthlessly: "This is settled. You and my Sword Sect are destined to join my Sword Sect. My spiritual seal was burning just now, and I think it must be Master calling me. I don't know what's important. I will leave first today. You should say goodbye to your colleagues. Someone will come to pick you up tomorrow. This is a messenger bird for you. Write to me if you have anything."

"...Thank you, thank you, Senior Brother!"

Nan Wang caught the bird that his senior brother threw into his arms, and thanked him with a trembling voice. When he raised his head, the senior brother in front of him had disappeared.

Only the carrier pigeon in his hand, shining like the scorching sun and shining with golden light, proved that everything that happened before was not an illusion.
