Sheng He nodded, not taking it to heart, and asked casually: "Where's Senior Sister Yun? Is she going too?"

"Xiao Yun? Didn't she come a long time ago?"

Mu Yao handed Sheng He a sizzling grass carp and pointed outside the door.

Sheng He looked in the direction Mu Yao pointed, and saw Song Jinzhi and A Yuan standing in the pond in front of the cabin. The water in the pond was above their thighs, and they were bending over to look for something in the pond.

Yun Qianshan stood on the shore with his hands on his hips and directed the two of them. From time to time, A Yuan and Yun Qianshan caught a fish and threw it on the shore. Yun Qianshan would then put the fish into his storage bag with a smile.

"Hurry up! Both of you hurry up! Xiao He loves grilled fish the most. Whoever of you catches more fish will get me to say a few good words for you in front of Xiao He!"

After hearing this, the two men caught fish more diligently.

A Yuan was originally a mermaid, so he didn't even need to catch the fish himself, as fish kept swimming into his hands. He threw the fish on the shore and looked at Yun Qianshan with joy in his eyes: "Sister Yun, you must tell Xiao He that I caught all these fish!"

Yun Qianshan smiled so hard that his eyes curved, and quickly stuffed the fish into his storage bag: "Of course, of course!"

Song Jinzhi refused to accept this and secretly drew a formation in the water. A large group of fish were trapped in the formation and then suddenly bounced out of the water.

Song Jinzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at A Yuan proudly.

Yun Qianshan was busy picking up fish and had no time to pay attention to the undercurrents between the two of them.

Sheng He stared blankly at the three people working hard by the pond, then looked down at the grilled fish that he had already taken a bite of.

“Is this how this fish came about?”

"Yes! I don't know what's the difference between the water in your pond and other places, the fish raised in it are especially tender and smooth. Even though I'm fasting, I can't help but catch a few to eat from time to time."

"That's great. With their help, they caught so many fish at once. We don't have to catch fish for a long time."

Mu Yao's eyebrows were curved, and her face was full of satisfaction.

Sheng He thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.

Song Jinzhi and A Yuan seemed to be competing with each other, and their speed of catching fish increased dramatically. Seeing that the fish fry released in the pond were almost caught, Yun Qianshan hurriedly called for a stop. Song Jinzhi and A Yuan then went ashore with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

A group of five people walked towards the square in a mighty manner. Quite a few people had already gathered in the square. On the high platform, two disciples from the Discipline Department were escorting an outer disciple.

There were crowds of people below, most of the Qingyun Sect disciples were there. After all, an opportunity to interrogate disciples in the square in front of the entire sect might not come once in ten years.

Many people were discussing the identities of the outer disciples on the stage. Mu Yao and Yun Qianshan skillfully took out a small bag of melon seeds from their storage bags and handed a handful to Sheng He. They then looked at Song Jinzhi and A Yuan who were staring at them eagerly, and remembered that although they had not contributed any credit for catching the fish, they had worked hard, so they gave each of them a small handful.

Song Jinzhi and A Yuan, who got the melon seeds, were flattered and thanked him. Then they turned around and gave all the melon seeds to Sheng He as if they were presenting treasures. They even almost fought on the spot over who would get them first.

Mu Yao, Yun Qianshan and Sheng He: ...Stand quietly a little further away, so that others won't think we know them.

Soon, the elder from the Discipline Department also arrived. He glanced at the outer disciple who was tied up tightly with spirit ropes, with his head lowered and a look of despair on his face, then frowned and cleared his throat.

"quiet!"

The square suddenly became quiet; even A Yuan and Song Jinzhi stopped what they were doing. Everyone's eyes were focused on the platform.

"Everyone present here today is a disciple of Qingyun Sect. You must have read the sect rules of Qingyun Sect by heart. Article 3 of the sect rules states that those who harm their fellow disciples or kill each other will have their cultivation abolished and be expelled from Qingyun Sect!"

"Yesterday, our Discipline Department has obtained solid evidence that outer disciple Wu Yan, for his own selfish reasons, colluded with the Seven Killing Pavilion to harm his fellow disciples! Wu Yan, do you admit it?"

The two Discipline Department disciples released the force that had been restraining Wu Yan. His disheveled hair covered most of his face. Wu Yan staggered to his feet, his vision blurry.

"I...I admit it."

As soon as these words were spoken, the audience exploded.

"It's actually Wu Yan! He has always been a loner, and is only close to Junior Sister Yanran from Jianfeng. I didn't expect that he would collude with the Seven Killing Pavilion!"

"How dare he harm his fellow disciples! Hasn't he already established his foundation? The inner disciples selection will be held next month. He has a bright future. Why would he harm his fellow disciples?"

"You can know a person's face but not his heart!"

Listening to the whispers around her, Sheng He said nothing. She looked at Wu Yan on the stage. A few years had passed and she almost forgot about this person. Just now, she didn't recognize that this was the young man who protected Zhao Yanran behind him on the flying boat.

Mu Yao gently tugged at Sheng He's sleeve and whispered, "Xiao He, this Wu Yan sounds familiar, do we know each other?"

"When I first entered Qingyun Sect, Senior Sister, you took me to the Discipline Department to receive the spirit stones. We met him there once."

Mu Yao nodded in sudden realization.

The elder of the Discipline Department looked down, his face dignified, and he shouted again: "Silence!"

"Qingyun Sect hates infighting among fellow disciples the most. Outer disciple Wu Yan violated the sect rules and his crime is unforgivable. We are trying him here today in the hope that all disciples will take this as a warning and not commit the same crime again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the elder of the Discipline Department turned around solemnly and slapped Wu Yan's Dantian with one palm. Wu Yan's Dantian ruptured instantly, and he suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, and his whole body was in turmoil.

"Yan... Yanran, I'm doing this all... for you..."

Wu Yan stretched out his hand in a daze. His Dantian was shattered and all the spiritual power in his body was leaking out madly. All the efforts of the past few years were wasted in just a few breaths.

His prospects, his future, his path to becoming an immortal were all ruined the moment he decided to go to the Seven Killing Pavilion.

"Yan...Yanran..."

He murmured desperately, his body slumped into a ball.

"Someone! Throw this disloyal and treacherous disciple out of Qingyun Sect as a warning to others!"

"yes!"

Two disciples from the Discipline Department carried the seriously injured Wu Yan, one on each side, and threw him out of Qingyun Sect like a rag.

The elder of the Discipline Department did not say anything more. He glanced at Sheng He who was standing in the crowd without leaving a trace. He was shocked when Tian Yu suddenly mentioned Wu Yan to the Discipline Department yesterday. It turned out that it was for his little disciple.

But how could his little disciple be so easily involved in trouble? The sect master had been arrested twice for interrogation in the Discipline Department, and he and Xuan Xiao's two useless disciples were like mortal enemies. This time, there was even a disciple who colluded with the Seven Killing Pavilion to kill her.

Sheng He alone has added a lot of burden to the Discipline Department. The elder of the Discipline Department sighed, turned back, and earnestly advised all disciples to read the sect rules more, practice well, and never cause trouble.
