The sect leader was holding back a lot of anger, so he vented it all on his opponent, beating him mercilessly and giving him no chance to catch his breath.
With each strike, I silently recited what I had just done: "You drugged our sect, you framed my disciple, you acted recklessly without any regard for right or wrong..."
Finally, he got his revenge, throwing the enemy elder to the ground and eliminating him on the spot.
The victor was in high spirits, and the one who was thrown out felt even more relieved.
The enemy elder couldn't help but wonder to himself, "Are you on drugs today?"
We clearly said it was just a martial arts contest, to stop when it's over, but what are you doing? I didn't even get a chance to slam my fist on the ground!
No!
It pounced on me like a mad dog.
If the enemy elder hadn't been injured in the face and it hurt to speak, he would have already started cursing.
I really didn't expect that the old man would be so ruthless, punching me hard as if he wanted to kill me, and he kept telling me that if I competed with this dog again, I would beat him.
You knew you couldn't beat him, but you never expected him to be so inhuman. He's supposed to be the sect leader of the Sword Sect, yet he's using public office to vent his personal frustrations—he's practically a laughingstock.
The enemy elder looked at his injuries and couldn't help but feel helpless. If he had another chance, he would never have drawn the same lot as this guy.
Not only were they inhuman, but they also punched me so hard that my cheeks felt like three bones were broken.
The sect leader won the match without saying a word, and then returned to the rest area triumphantly.
After the match ended, he went straight to Xie Zhou. After Xie Zhou entered the room and closed the door, he started to berate him.
"How did you teach me? Don't fight with people, especially at such a crucial moment. If you hit her, where would I put my face? Do you know what kind of look the female disciple's sect leader gave me today?"
Xie Zhou pouted and could only stand aside and listen to his rant.
"You know what? The most infuriating thing isn't that, the most regrettable thing is that you got sued, but you didn't even lift a finger. When I asked people there, it was like asking thin air. Do you think your junior brothers can talk their way out of it with their few mouths?"
The sect leader clenched his fist, slammed it on the table beside him, took a deep breath, and told himself to stay calm.
"Master, I was wrong, I won't do it again next time."
"You want a next time? Let me tell you, this is the first time my heart can't take it anymore. You want to do it again? Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
His words were always stern, but not as aggressive as usual.
"Alright, you don't need to feel wronged. Release the pressure points yourself, and remember not to do this again, understand?"
Upon hearing that he had finally been released, Xie Zhou quickly nodded.
"Don't worry, Master, I will definitely remember your teachings and will not go out to cause trouble again."
"You, as my personal disciple, are constantly being watched by countless eyes. When will you ever learn to be more careful? That way, I can entrust the sect to you with peace of mind in the future."
Xie Zhou stood respectfully to the side, listening attentively to the teachings, but in reality, his heart was in turmoil, constantly wanting to leave, to get out of this place, and not wanting to hear this nonsense.
However, out of respect for the sect leader, he waited until the old man finished speaking before leisurely opening his own mouth.
“Master, I’d like to go down the mountain in the next couple of days. There are some things I need to take care of, and it’s inconvenient for me to return to the mountain. I’ll also take this opportunity to lay low and prevent the female disciples’ sect from finding me.”
The sect leader nodded in agreement upon hearing this. Indeed, the female disciples' faction was bound to cause some new disturbances in the next couple of days.
This is a once-in-a-century event, and they've gotten what they wanted, so they're bound to make a big deal out of it.
"Alright, you can stay down the mountain for the next couple of days and handle your business. Don't worry about the sect, I'll take care of things."
Upon hearing this, Xie Zhou turned to run away, but was immediately grabbed by the person behind him. "Don't rush, let me finish. After you come down the mountain, control your temper. Don't be so impulsive. Don't rush to argue with people whenever there's trouble. You need to know that you are the personal disciple of the Sword Sect Master. Don't be so rash..."
Thus, Xie Zhou was caught due to a moment of carelessness and remained there listening to two hours of careful instruction.
When it ended, I felt like I was being released; the joy and happiness were indescribable.
Fearing that he would be caught by his master again the next day, he decided to pack his bags and head down the mountain tonight.
Xie Zhou arrived at Luo Fantian's residence, climbed the wall using bricks, and reached the rooftop to look down and find Luo's room.
Without saying a word, he flipped off the roof with one hand, kicked open the window, and landed in his room without leaving a footprint.
This startled the person who was sitting at the desk writing. They were practically sweating profusely, quite taken aback by the sudden appearance of such a large person.
But she quickly came to her senses and went over to him, asking, "Why are you here?"
Xie Zhou tossed the bundle he was carrying onto his back and sat down to the side. "I brought you some local specialties from the mountains. I just stopped by to drop by and see you."
“I don’t think you just happened to be passing by to see me. You must have been listening to your master’s lectures on the mountain again, right? You always do this. Whenever you’re annoyed, you come here.” Luo Fantian picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and placed it in front of the other person.
Xie Zhou was absolutely unceremonious, picking up the glass and tilting his head back to drink it all in one gulp.
Looking at the person next to me who was getting a refill of their drink, I was somewhat shocked. "The last time I saw you was probably a few days ago. I've been through a lot since then."
"Share, share."
Xie Zhou immediately put on a mysterious air and took out the fruit he had picked on the mountain from his bag.
"I don't have anything particularly impressive to offer, just some I picked along the way. Try it, see if it's sour?"
The two chatted, drank tea, and ate fruit, as if they hadn't had such a comfortable day in a long time.
"Do you know what happened when I went to Medicine Ghost Valley? I was planning to subdue a magical beast, but I discovered a lot of things, though I managed to resolve them all later. The spirit insect accidentally developed feelings for me, and it's been eyeing the expert these past few days." Xie Zhou ate some fruit for a while, then finally couldn't help but talk about what happened today. "Do you know what trouble I encountered today? They were so infuriating! Those people just cried and acted pitiful. In the end, they couldn't win, so the sect leader personally stepped in and completely crushed the other side's elder, giving us a good venting of our anger."
Xie Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief after recounting the drugging and fighting incident.
"I happen to have a few old books here. You can take them back and read them; they might be helpful."
