Chapter 265 Just in Time
"Why do I feel like something big is about to happen? The other day, I heard Master say to call back all the brothers and sisters and fellow apprentices who are out training and doing business."
Fu Qingyun said, "Why are you asking Gu Liyue about these things? She just came back."
You Tingchu always felt that these things were related to Gu Liyue. After hearing what Fu Qingyun said, he replied, "That's right."
Fu Qingyun said to Gu Liyue, "You guys settle down first. Tell me if you need anything. We'll be leaving first."
Gu Liyue said: "Okay."
The next day, Gu Liyue took the alchemy book copied by Wen Qinnuan to Tongming Peak. As soon as she entered the mountain gate, she met Yin Rutang and Pei Baozhu.
Yin Rutang asked, "Gu Liyue, what are you doing here at Tongming Peak?"
Looking at her, Gu Liyue felt that she was about to cause trouble again, so she said calmly, "Oh, is it Senior Sister Yin's turn to guard the mountain gate today?"
Pei Baozhu said loudly: "How dare you disrespect Uncle Yin."
Yin Rutang looked at Gu Liyue and found that he couldn't see through her cultivation level. This, this, this... Gu Liyue's cultivation speed was too fast, right? It had only been a short time, and she had already entered the Golden Core stage, even higher than his own cultivation level.
Gu Liyue said with a half-smile, "How was I disrespectful to Senior Sister Yin? Tell me more."
Pei Baozhu seemed to have caught something and said, "Did you also call me Senior Sister? You should call me Uncle Yin. Unless..."
She paused, thinking of this possibility. No, no, no, Gu Liyue definitely couldn't be in the Golden Core stage.
She carefully glanced at Yin Rutang and found that she was staring at Gu Liyue curiously, without making eye contact with her. She thought she agreed with her actions.
Gu Liyue reminded her, "Is it possible? That's the situation you just excluded."
Pei Baozhu panicked and shouted, "Impossible! If you could break through the Foundation Establishment Stage and enter the Golden Core Stage in such a short time, then... then Qingxuan Academy would be filled with Golden Core cultivators."
She thought that she must suppress Gu Liyue's arrogance today, otherwise she would always feel like she was in the wrong when she saw her in the future.
Gu Liyue glanced at her, then looked at Yin Rutang and said, "Why not let your Uncle Yin tell you if it's possible?"
Having said that, Gu Liyue was too lazy to talk nonsense with them and walked directly towards the main hall. Unexpectedly, she was stopped by Pei Baozhu.
"You haven't apologized to Uncle Yin yet!"
"I didn't disrespect her, why should I apologize?"
At this time, the students around stopped and looked at the three of them.
"If this isn't Uncle Yin and Pei Baozhu, who is that one?"
"This one looks very unfamiliar. She's so beautiful, you'll definitely be impressed if you meet her."
"Now that you mention it, I remember that yesterday, a friend of mine was on duty at Tongtian Peak and said he saw a very beautiful female cultivator. Could that be her? He said she came to Tongtian Peak on her own spiritual boat."
"Ah! No way? Who is that person?"
"It is said that she is a new student named Gu Liyue."
"Yes, I just heard Pei Baozhu call this female cultivator that."
While people were discussing this, Gu Liyue was about to leave but was stopped by Pei Baozhu.
"You said Senior Sister Yin hasn't said anything yet, why are you chattering here?"
Gu Liyue really didn't want to get entangled with Pei Baozhu here. She looked at Yin Rutang and said, "Senior Sister Yin, please say something!"
Yin Rutang was still in shock from Gu Liyue's cultivation and hadn't come back to her senses. When she heard Gu Liyue calling her, she was about to speak.
Pei Baozhu added, "Don't think Uncle Yin is a good person. He's just getting more and more demanding if he doesn't bother with you!"
Yin Rutang pulled Pei Baozhu and said, "She really wasn't disrespectful to me. She's already in the Golden Core Stage."
Pei Baozhu was amazed when she heard this: "No way? She's already reached the Golden Core stage so quickly!"
Seeing Yin Rutang nod, she believed that she had not heard wrongly.
Gu Liyue looked at Pei Baozhu who was blocking the road and said, "You still won't move out of the way. Do you want me to ask you to leave? Or do you want me to investigate your disrespect to me?"
Pei Baozhu shuddered and quickly moved aside to let Gu Liyue pass.
Gu Liyue looked at her coldly and said, "You'd better not mess with me in the future, otherwise don't blame me for being rude. By the way, you know what the punishment will be for disrespecting your teachers, right? I advise you to go to the Punishment Hall to receive your punishment, instead of having me file a complaint with the Punishment Hall later, which would make the crime even more serious."
Pei Baozhu was frightened by Gu Liyue's aura and could not help but take two steps back. The Punishment Hall was not easy to enter. When she thought of the scene when she went to the Punishment Hall to watch the excitement before, her heart sank.
At that time, watching other people's excitement, I felt that those who were punished deserved it, and the Penalty Hall was enforcing the law impartially.
If those punishments were used on me, it would be extremely bad. My cultivation level couldn't withstand three lashes of punishment. It was said that the lash was excruciatingly painful, from the hairline to the toenails. If I couldn't endure it, my cultivation level would likely regress. I would also be grounded for three months.
Just thinking about it makes me shudder. She looked at Yin Rutang for help. She was standing up for Uncle Yin, so she wouldn't leave herself alone, right?
Yin Rutang also felt Gu Liyue's aura and thought to herself: This Gu Liyue's aura is so strong! So scary! She ignored Pei Dingzhu's gaze. It was all her own decision. Today's incident had nothing to do with her, Yin Rutang.
Gu Liyue really didn't understand. Could it be that Pei Baozhu wasn't cultivating properly sometimes? She wasted her time on these meaningless things all day long.
At this time, the head of the Punishment Hall came over with several of his men. They looked serious and upright, and said with a righteous look, "I heard that someone here is disrespecting the teachers. What's going on?"
Pei Baozhu's face was pale. She waved her hands and said, "No, it's not true!"
The manager looked at Gu Liyue, who said, "Indeed. You've come at the perfect time."
The steward inquired about the situation, confirmed Gu Liyue's cultivation level, and then questioned Yin Rutang. Yin Rutang nodded to the steward without even looking at Pei Baozhu.
We also asked people around who were watching the incident to find out the situation and confirm the facts.
This operation was done skillfully and efficiently. It seemed that the people in the Punishment Hall did this a lot.
The steward said to the desperate Pei Baozhu, "Now that the matter is clear, take you directly back to the punishment hall to receive your punishment. After the punishment, you can start a new life."
Pei Baozhu didn't expect Yin Rutang to nod without hesitation. She thought that in the past year or so since she entered Qingxuan College, she had been attentive to Yin Rutang every day, but in return she could not get her protection.
It’s better to concentrate on practicing, at least you can improve your cultivation level.
I don't need to be pointed at behind my back and told that I'm a bootlicker who relies on flattery to get a foothold in Qingxuan Academy. I also worked hard to pass the exam and get in!
She was still lost in her thoughts and just followed the people from the Punishment Hall in a daze.
Watching Pei Baozhu being taken away by the people from the Punishment Hall, Gu Liyue thought: I won't have to encounter troublemakers for three months. The thought made her happy.
In order to avoid encountering annoying people, Gu Liyue directly threw out [Green Light] and flew to the main hall on the sword.
