"Forehead."

Ji Wuxia was speechless. Why did this junior brother seem a little abnormal?

But think about it, it seems that on Zhishui Peak, from master to apprentice, there is nothing normal.

Well, except for her.

"Forget it, let me write down today's diary first. A new junior fellow has arrived, and such a big event needs to be recorded."

This was a habit that Ji Wuxia had developed over the years. From being an adopted daughter who had been living outside a royal palace, she returned to the Zining Palace. The hardships she had to bear were more than ten times heavier than those of her other brothers and sisters.

Therefore, no matter what Ji Wuxia did, he would record it to improve his memory and learning.

Lu Xiaoran also came to the sect hall.

Li Daoran was pacing back and forth at the door. When he saw him coming, he immediately hurried over to him.

"Old Lu, what should we do? This time we've caused a big disaster. The Supreme Elder, the Sect Master, the Great Elder, and a whole bunch of people have lost face. And Elder Huang the Scalper, I heard that his blind date fell through. You don't know, he just looked at me, his eyes were bigger than a cow's!"

Lu Xiaoran said unhappily:

"What else can I do? Just let it sit."

"Wow, even you say that. This time, I think we're both doomed."

"If you hadn't been so stupid and lazy and didn't leave the token behind, we wouldn't have gotten into such a big trouble. Let's go. A blessing in disguise is not a disaster. A disaster is inevitable."

As he spoke, Lu Xiaoran took the lead and stepped into the hall. Li Daoran, looking frustrated, followed behind him.

The two came to the main hall. All the elders were there. They bowed to the sect master and said:

"Disciple Lu Xiaoran, greets the Sect Master."

"Disciple Li Daoran, greetings to the Sect Master."

On the high seat, the clan leader had a stern expression.

"You left your post without permission and went to visit the Willow Garden, causing many elders in the sect to lose face. Do you two admit your guilt?"

"The disciple knows his sin."

"It's good that you admit your guilt. Before punishing me, I want to ask you clearly whether the formation was completed by the two of you together or by one of you alone."

Lu Xiaoran bowed and said:

"In reply to the Sect Master, the formation was completed by me alone. Dao Ran was responsible for the formations on both wings of the mountain gate. This matter has nothing to do with him."

"Xiao Ran."

Li Daoran's eyes instantly turned red and he clenched his fists.

In fact, he was mainly to blame for this matter. If he had not taken the token away, so many things would not have happened later.

As a result, Lu Xiaoran took the entire matter on himself without saying a word.

What a deep friendship this is!

My good brother, I will remember this kindness and will never forget it for the rest of my life!

The clan leader nodded.

"Okay, I understand. Now, I declare that although Elder Xiao Ran made a serious mistake, he admitted it sincerely, so he will not be held accountable. Elder Dao Ran, because he entered the hall later than Elder Xiao Ran, and his willingness to admit his mistakes is far less than Elder Xiao Ran, he will bear all the punishment for this incident! You will be punished to do hard labor in the sect's weapon refining hall for a month."

Li Daoran: “???”

A bunch of question marks suddenly popped up in his head and he was completely dumbfounded.

"Master, did you make a wrong judgment? The formation at the mountain gate was not set up by me. I am at most an accomplice."

"How dare you! Are you doubting my judgment, Elder Huangniu?"

Elder Huangniu immediately stood out from the crowd.

"I am here."

"Take Li Daoran to the weapon refining hall and have him under your strict supervision. Train him well and make sure he realizes his mistakes."

"Yes, sir."

After answering, Elder Huangniu turned his head and looked at Li Daoran, sneering.

"Li Daoran, you have committed a serious mistake. I, under the name of the sect master, have supervised your punishment in the weapon refining hall. I hope you will not blame me. Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of you!"

Elder Huang pronounced the word "care" very clearly, which made Li Daoran shudder suddenly and a look of fear suddenly appeared in his eyes.

If you believe him, there must be something fishy going on. His blind date was ruined and he was filled with rage, but he had no place to vent it. Now that he had been caught by him, he was doomed.

Li Daoran took Lu Xiaoran's hand and pleaded desperately:

"Old Lu, you can't abandon me. Please beg for mercy for me. If I go to the weapon refining hall for a month, I'm afraid I won't be able to come out alive."

"Forehead."

To be honest, Lu Xiaoran did not expect that such a thing would happen.

He originally thought that it was better for one person to be punished than for two people to be punished. Their friendship of more than ten years was not a life-threatening matter, so he just took it on himself.

At most, you can just face the wall and reflect on your mistakes for a few years.

Unexpectedly, the sect leader did not play by the rules and punished Li Daoran instead of him.

This was really beyond his expectations.

However, after thinking about it carefully, he understood.

His attainments in formations were so profound that he was simply cherishing a golden nugget. The Heavenly Demon Sect probably only wanted to win him over, so how could they bear to attack him?

In this incident, many elders were offended, and even the sect leader lost face. No one would calm down unless someone was found to punish them.

So, even if Li Daoran did nothing wrong, he couldn't escape.

After thinking this through, Lu Xiaoran couldn't help but sigh and patted the back of Li Daoran's hand.

"What do you want? Tell me in a dream."

Li Daoran wanted to say something, but Elder Huangniu walked up to him with a sinister smile, grabbed his collar, and pulled him out like an eagle catching a chick.

"You still want to beg for mercy? Today, let alone Xiao Ran, even if the king of heaven comes, I will make you lose two layers of skin!"

Li Daoran was so scared that he almost peed his pants and screamed wildly.

"Old Lu, save me, save me, wuwuwu, I don't want to go to the weapon refining hall, I don't want Elder Huangniu to supervise me, please beg for mercy on me."

After Li Daoran was dragged away by Elder Huang, the seriousness on the sect master's face instantly disappeared, and then he looked at Lu Xiaoran and laughed:

"Xiao Ran, you have been in the sect for such a long time, but I didn't know that your attainments in formations are so strong! It is really admirable, even I am amazed."

Lu Xiaoran lowered his eyebrows and said:

"Master, you are too kind. Xiao Ran is not talented enough in cultivation, so he studies more formations on weekdays. Unexpectedly, he has made some achievements."

"It's not just a small achievement, right? Even the Grand Elder and I can't break the formation, which shows that your strength is extraordinary. By the way, Xiao Ran, are you used to living in Zhishui Peak? Do you want to move to a bigger peak?"

"There are several new peaks in the sect that have never been developed. They are tall, large, full of spiritual energy, transparent from north to south, with abundant sunlight, purple air lingering, and excellent feng shui. Do you want to pick one?"
