Chapter 102 Let's have some fruit
The four of them headed straight to a nearby restaurant and quickly packed up a whole menu of delicious food and wine.
He put on another black outer garment and hurried towards the sect under the cover of night.
With the Life Fruit, I'm incredibly confident and have no worries about what to eat, like bamboo shoots stir-fried with pork.
However, I didn't dare to wander around any further.
I understand the principle that possessing a treasure can be a crime.
The news of them carrying the Life Fruit spread like wildfire, especially among cultivators of much higher cultivation levels who desperately needed it to prolong their lives.
Even if we bring out the titles of two Emperors, let alone the Sword Venerable, we'll still kill them.
They knew full well the wickedness of human nature, but they were still a little unhappy.
Originally, I planned to stay longer and preferably return during the two realm competitions to escape Elder Tie and his gang's clutches.
After traveling for most of the night, before dawn, the four of them lined up to crawl through the dog hole.
Lin Yujin shoved Bai Ziye, "Why don't you move your butt off a bit!"
The latter, without a word, silently crawled out of the dog hole, lowered his head, and stood beside the equally silent Su Qingliu.
Lin Yujin grumbled as she squeezed in, only to find a fierce-looking middle-aged man holding a ruler, striking his palm repeatedly.
The tangy, slightly unpleasant feeling of being controlled by the ruler came rushing up with a scratch.
With a pained expression, she got up crying, "Elder Tie, aren't you going to sleep?"
Elder Tie grinned. "Do you think I can sleep?"
Dare to skip his class?!
Who could fall asleep in that situation?
I'm so angry I could wake up from my dreams!
Lin Yujin wanted to say something, but was startled by a brutal glare, pinched her lips with two fingers, and manually muted her microphone.
Jiang Xianwan: "..."
Just as he was about to pull back, he heard Elder Tie shout, "Jiang Xianwan! You better crawl faster!"
Next, Elder Tie's cursing voice echoed throughout the entire Taixu Sect.
"You little brats! If I don't skin you alive today, I'll take your surname!"
"Dare to skip my class? You'll have to repeat the clan rules ten thousand times!"
"No food until you finish copying!"
"If you dare run again, I'll break your legs!"
Elder Tie had already prepared four bamboo poles, stuck them into the ground, and tied their feet together with iron chains.
The disciples of each peak, who had gotten up to prepare breakfast, quickly got their food and rushed over upon hearing the noise; not one of them was missing.
What's even more outrageous is that Chu Weining and Zhu Yinman were holding a bowl of fragrant minced meat noodles!
Squatting on the ground, he watched with great interest, purring and showing off.
The four men winced as they were whipped, their every attempt to argue back thwarted by Elder Tie's ruler, the pen in his hand swishing so hard it was smoking.
Lin Yujin was very unconvinced, "Elder Tie, we have..."
"Shut up!" Elder Tie decisively rewarded him with another stroke of the ruler. "Write faster!"
"Say one more word and I'll break your legs!"
Lin Yujin's eyes were brimming with tears, and the silly pen in her hand flew off the page in an instant.
Elder Tie strode forward in a fit of rage and lashed out one after another.
"Don't think that just because you're the Sword Master's disciples I won't punish you!"
"Disrespectful to elders! Who do you even respect?!"
"Jiang Xianwan! Especially you!" Elder Tie jumped up and slapped her with a ruler. "What are you laughing at! You still have the nerve to laugh! Don't think I don't know, you're the one jumping the loudest!"
Jiang Xianwan: "..."
"Tell me! How many times has this happened since you returned to the sect!"
"And you all! You all better watch out! If you dare skip my class, this is what will happen to you!"
The onlookers, while eating, nodded their heads like chickens pecking at rice!
Shi Yunxiao squatted among his disciples, never having smiled so brightly before.
Holding up a finger and waving it happily at Qin Qin, who was carrying a stack of freshly cooked meat pies, he said, "These four are geniuses! Elder Tie scolded them for a whole day and night, yet their voices are still so loud today."
"But Junior Brother Qin, can you finish all these meat pies?"
Qin Qin looked at Jiang Xianwan, who was grimacing from the slap, her brows furrowed, and she didn't hear what he said at all.
Jiang Xianwan's entire back was burning with pain. He braced himself with one hand on the ground, his hand holding the pen reaching for his mustard seed pouch. "Elder Tie, you first... Ouch! Stop hitting me!"
Su Qingliu and the other two: "..."
Unsurprisingly, the four were silenced and wrote from dawn till dusk under Elder Tie's unwavering gaze, which was as sharp as lightning.
Forget about meat patties, they didn't even get a sip of water, they were treated like dogs on a leash!
Elder Tie's mouth was dry from all the cursing, and he walked at least 30,000 steps a day.
The ground was covered with holes he had stepped on.
He held a thick stack of patriarchal rules in his left hand, while the ruler in his right hand traced a cold arc. "Speak! Do you dare to break the rules again!"
The four men shook their heads repeatedly.
Unexpectedly, the next second they were each hit with a ruler again!
"Speak! Are you all mute?!"
Su Qingliu, who had been expressionless the whole time, turned green at this moment.
Bai Ziye and Lin Yujin whimpered and writhed in pain.
Jiang Xianwan's expression was numb as she silently pointed to her mouth.
Why don't you lift the silencing spell?
How can they admit their mistakes if they don't get their clothes removed!
Elder Tie, who was once again jumping up and down in anger, finally fell silent.
With a cold face, he released the silencing spell and said fiercely, "Speak!"
Jiang Xianwan, her hands trembling, handed him a piece of white fruit, her eyes brimming with tears. "Elder Tie, you must be tired after two days of scolding, right? Would you like some fruit to soothe your throat?"
Elder Tie, who was about to punish her with another stroke of the ruler, was speechless.
He lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on the glistening white fruit, his expression momentarily blank.
"Life Fruit..."
The three boys tumbled down from the wall. Lin Yujin, her legs trembling, sat down on the ground with a thud and started to untie the chains. "Look at this, isn't this embarrassing!"
"Weren't you surprised? Weren't you taken aback? Weren't you so moved that you wanted to hug us and cry your heart out, saying you were wrong!"
Elder Tie held the Life Fruit in his hand, his blank expression gradually turning into a deep and complex one.
He glanced at the four people massaging his shoulders and legs, his eyes still showing uncertain astonishment, "For...for me?"
He never imagined that the fruit of life, which he had been searching for so long, would one day be so casually presented to him by a few little ones.
Where did they get it?
How did you manage to pick them?
Did you just hand it to him like that, all fresh and clean?
Don't they know how valuable the Life Fruit is to a cultivator?!
Bai Ziye rubbed his wrist, his face contorted in a grimace, and stopped laughing. "What else?"
Unexpectedly, Elder Tie suddenly came to his senses and shoved the Life Fruit back into Jiang Xianwan's hand as if it were burning his hand, saying, "This thing is too precious for me to accept!"
"Keep them yourselves!"
As his name suggests, Elder Tie was impartial and incorruptible, adhering to the golden rules and ironclad principles.
How could I possibly take the Life Fruit that I had worked so hard to obtain from those little brats?
Lin Yujin sighed.
Four pairs of eyes staring at each other.
The three teenagers swiftly pinned Elder Tie down, and Jiang Xianwan pounced over and stuffed the Life Fruit directly into his mouth.
"Please have some! There's another one if you're still hungry!"
"That's right!" Lin Yujin shouted, "If you die, don't even think about hitting us again!"
Bai Ziye: "Heh! I might have to lift the coffin lid to beat you up."
Elder Tie never expected that a few rascals would attack him.
He covered his mouth in disbelief, his eyes wide as two copper bells.
Watching the four dart away like monkeys, I was stunned for a long time.
All the burdens between his brows vanished without him realizing it, and he felt completely relaxed from head to toe.
Elder Tie laughed and cursed, "These little brats!"
Try to hit me less in the future.
He muttered to himself and quickly flew towards the back of the mountain.
He can't hold back anymore, he's about to break through!
