Xing Feng, the elder of criminal law, looked at Lin Yuetian speechlessly. How come even this guy came to complain?
The whole story has been thoroughly understood. There were many audience members present, and aside from not knowing what the two talked about, everything else was about 90% accurate.
Despite Lin Yuetian's embellishment, beating a fellow disciple was not a serious crime for the chief disciple. Lin Fan was not afraid of even having his cultivation abolished or being expelled from the sect, so other punishments were even less serious.
Even with other punishments, that guy just stretches out his arms and legs and lies there. What can you do? Can you remove him from the chief position? That's up to the Peak Master of Youzhu Peak to decide.
"I understand. Just don't go looking for him anymore!" Elder Xingfeng rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.
"Are we just going to let this go? Lin Fan is arrogant and disrespectful. If he is not severely punished, how can we govern the Qingxiao Sect?" Lin Yuetian said indignantly.
"So how do you want to handle this?" The elder of criminal law was amused and annoyed.
They were just enjoying their meal, and you had to go and provoke them. What can you do if you get beaten up? Just let it be!
"Discipline them according to the sect rules!" Lin Yuetian gritted her teeth, harboring deep resentment towards Lin Fan.
"Alright, according to the Qingxiao Sect rules, assaulting a fellow disciple is punishable by a fine of five hundred spirit stones, is that enough?" The Elder of Punishments was getting impatient. This was the Chief of Qifeng Sect? What a coward!
If you can't beat him, go provoke that guy. He's no pushover!
"Alright, if you feel wronged, you can go to Youzhu Peak with your master to seek an explanation. Xingfeng only follows the rules." Elder Xingfa interrupted him when he hesitated.
He flicked his sleeves and left the main hall. As long as Lin Fan's affairs didn't involve the sect's interests, he couldn't be bothered to care. Even the Peak Master of Youzhu Peak was biased towards him to the extreme, so what could he do?
...
The atmosphere at Yunke Peak has been somber lately. The five golden flowers are in poor spirits, and even when they force themselves to cultivate, they often have to go on business trips.
Even Chu Yunying was the same; she often stared blankly at her sword, her pretty face clouded with worry, showing no interest in cultivation and completely losing her former charm.
After learning the whole story, Leng Xingyue couldn't help but complain to herself, wondering when her eldest disciple had become so charming that he made the other five disciples lose their appetite and sleep.
Her five disciples were all stunningly beautiful, yet they were all rejected. Didn't they have any of his favorite types?
"Come with me, I'll take you to find out the truth." She shook her head helplessly; if things continued like this, the five sisters would be ruined.
"Master, we..." The five sisters were filled with shame and felt they had failed their master's teachings.
Leng Xingyue didn't blame them. Who can really distinguish between love and hate? Once you're hooked, it's like poison, intoxicating and corrosive. And if you want to give it up, the process is very painful.
She led her five sisters over several mountains. This place was somewhat remote from Youzhu Peak, but relatively close to the forbidden area.
They then landed on an ordinary mountain range, where there were several ancient courtyards. Outside, the city was overgrown with tall grass and trees, and it was very quiet and desolate.
The five sisters looked at each other, puzzled. They remembered that after they joined Youzhu Peak, they gradually learned about the sect's secrets. The mountains in this area were off-limits to disciples.
Leng Xingyue knocked on the door, and it creaked open, releasing a desolate, mossy scent.
"Xingyue greets Grandmaster Uncle. Please forgive me if I have disturbed you!" After entering the courtyard, Leng Xingyue bowed to the main hall.
Upon seeing this, the five sisters followed suit and bowed.
"Come in!" An aged voice came from inside, seemingly from a distant place, yet also seemingly close at hand.
Leng Xingyue led them inside, where they saw an old woman sitting in front of them, her body hunched over. Before her, a starry sky-like scene swirled and evolved around the armillary sphere, chaotic and misty, as if the sun, moon, and stars were all right beside them.
"Little Yue'er, it's been so long since you've come to see this old woman. What made you suddenly decide to come?" the old woman said with a kind smile, but her eyes remained fixed on the image on the celestial globe.
"Of course I miss my grandmaster uncle, and there's something else I'd like to ask you!" Leng Xingyue said respectfully.
"Quickly greet your grandmaster uncle!"
The five sisters bowed respectfully and sweetly called out, "Grand-disciple greets Grandmaster!"
"Thank you for your kindness, no need for formalities!" the old woman laughed heartily, her wrinkles smoothing out, clearly in a good mood.
The old woman was the most senior member of the Qingxiao Sect, skilled in divination and fortune-telling. Even the sect leader dared not speak loudly when he arrived.
Don't let her amiable appearance fool you; if you anger her, no one dares to stop you. When the sect leader was young, she received many slaps from him. In the sect, her words sometimes carry more weight than the sect leader's.
"Tell me!" The old woman glanced at the five sisters with a friendly smile, and didn't seem stern at all.
Leng Xingyue recounted Lin Fan's recent changes. The old woman remained silent for a long time, then looked at the celestial sphere and said, "If a person's personality changes not gradually over time, then it must be due to experiencing unbearable pain, suffering inhuman torment to the body and mind, and being stimulated!"
"The disease of the heart can only be changed by untying the knot in one's heart."
She took out a bamboo tube, placed it in front of them, and said, "Draw a fortune stick, everyone!"
The five sisters stretched out their hands and took out a stick from the divination tube. There was nothing on it. The old woman took it and saw that the divination results of their sticks were all the same.
Then she looked at Leng Xingyue, who had also taken a fortune stick, and it was indeed the same.
"How is it?" Leng Xingyue asked.
The old woman looked at them, her expression gradually becoming serious, her two white eyebrows furrowing together.
"I think you should just give up!" she said.
"Why? We want to know the reason. Please enlighten us, Grandmaster Uncle!" Leng Xingyue said.
The old woman sighed and said earnestly, "According to the divination, your disciple will face a fatal calamity in three years. It will be extremely difficult!"
"What?"
Their expressions changed drastically. According to their memories, their senior brother in their previous life did not die until ten years later, and it was Long Aotian who told them. Why was his death tribulation three years later?
"It's rather strange that his death spurt lasted for seven long years, and he only passed away ten years later!" the old woman continued.
"A death calamity, seven years?" The five sisters looked at each other, somewhat confused.
"You mean Fan'er had seven years of mortal tribulation, hovering between life and death, suffering seven years of torment before dying, is that right?"
Leng Xingyue's voice trembled, feeling as if her throat was being cut by a knife, and with each breath she felt as if her heart was about to burst.
The five sisters were pale and their eyes were a little moist.
"That's what the divination shows. As for why he turned out this way, it's because the divination shows that he has died once. It's strange, I can't see through it!" the old woman said, shaking her head.
He had died once again, and it was another seven-year death calamity. The divination results seemed somewhat chaotic and contradictory.
"Is there any way to fix this?" Leng Xingyue asked anxiously.
The old woman took out a mirror, similar to the Demon Mirror, but made of bronze.
"This is the Sky-Gazing Mirror, which can peer into a person's memories. If a person is very wary, it cannot be peered into. So you must wait until he is asleep before using the magic to peer into his dreams."
