Chong Zi - Chapter 20 : Piracy

"Where did the scars on your hands come from?"

"Teacher..."

"Where did your wound come from?"

Chongzi cried and said, "Teacher..." Even he himself was unsure about this matter. How can he explain it? If that were true, who would believe what happened in the dream?

The meaning of begging her is misunderstood. Luo Yinfan was even angrier. He lied to her for so many years, and now she still expects him to be protected!

"Is that you?"

"Maybe...it's me...but I don't know..."

Chongzi was panicked and scared, everything was messy, and there was some unclearness. Once a person becomes used to being dependent on others, they will subconsciously become weak. Accompanying the teacher for many years has been lived peacefully and satisfactorily. When major changes occur, the feeling is the same as when a parent dies tragically, which is unacceptable.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Mu Yu rushed forward and said, "Your Highness, calm down, what kind of person Chongzi was in Nanhua all these years, Your Highness knows best. Could it be that he has something to hide?"

Wen Lingzhi snorted lightly at the side, a female disciple understood and immediately said, "Brother Mu forgot, there's a saying in this world that one can't tell a person's heart just by his face."

Luo Yinfan frowned.

Yu Du hurriedly reprimanded, "Impossible! His Majesty is asking, how can you interrupt, back off!"

The female student fell silent.

Looking at Chongzi in front of him, Luo Yinfan said slowly, "Teacher will ask you again, yes, or no?"

After all, they still wanted to give him one last chance. Chongzi only wished he could say the word "no", completely innocent. Luo Yinfan will definitely investigate to the end, but if he really harbors evil thoughts and is born with an evil spirit, once he falls into the devil, the result is difficult to predict. There was no guarantee that he would not become another Ni Lun, and Luo Yinfan would never protect his disciples and harm ordinary people.

Seeing the ripples in his eyes, Chongzi suddenly recovered his courage, calmed down quickly, and recounted last night's strange dream with tears in his eyes, "I don't know if it was a dream or reality. I didn't feel strange until the teacher asked about the injury on my hand. when I wake up in the morning. But I often have nightmares when I see her so I just want to avoid her. How could I even go looking for her?"

Luo Yinfan fell silent.

Min Yunzhong said, "A lot of reasons!"

Chongzi shouted, "Chongzi would never dare to trick the teacher. Please supervisor Min investigate clearly."

To this matter, Yu Du sighed secretly and stopped Min Yunzhong, "If what you say is a lie then it is a crime of fraud. If an investigation is carried out then you will be punished for two crimes. Understood?"

Chongzi touched the ground with his forehead, "Don't dare to lie."

Yu Du nodded, "I believe you for the time being, since you are not sure whether the dream is true, Venerable Tianji will make a prediction in advance, so as not to be mistaken."

Chongzi bowed again.

Xingxuan was helpless and took out the Heavenly Secret Book with a bitter face.

He usually didn't pay attention to the sky. Now, it was his turn to work hard. Back then, he had been tempted to predict this girl's fate. Nearly experiencing a backlash, he rested completely for half a year. But everything related to this girl creates problems for her. He didn't know how much spiritual power he would use up this time.

With a yellow and white light, the Heaven's Secret Book floated in the air, opened, and gradually became larger, like a huge empty picture scroll.

Everyone present looked at the empty scroll without blinking. Chongzi was very nervous, and there were many students who sympathized with him. They all sweat for him personally.

After the cup of tea time passed, there was still nothing strange in the Book of Heaven Secrets. 

Seeing that Xingxuan frowned at first, then pinched his fingers, and finally chanted an incantation, everyone was shocked. It is reasonable to say that Venerable Tianji should be able to predict these things easily. Except for the failure to predict the theft of the demon sword back then, I have never seen him work so hard.

As everyone was wondering, the Heaven's Secret Book in the air gradually revealed the image.

The scene in the painting is very familiar. In the dark and empty hall, the bright pearl above the hall gave off a faint light. Suddenly, the high hall door was pushed open from the outside, moonlight poured in, and a slender figure walked in from the door.

He walked slowly to the front of the table and lifted the stick up.

Blood dripped on the Demon Order.

Her lips moved slightly, as if she was chanting a spell...

Everyone's eyes widened, and the most shocked was Chong Zi. Before the image disappeared, he lost his voice, "No! It's not like that! The Demonic Order flew at me by itself, and I don't have a staff! I didn't even chant!"

Min Yunzhong said coldly, "Could it be that His Majesty Tianji has done something wrong about you?"

Chongzi fell silent and knelt there dumbfounded.

The current situation was completely untenable, only he alone understood that the truth was completely unlike a prophecy! He couldn't chant the blood curse at all!

Luo Yinfan was also surprised. Although Xingxuan can't be wrong, but the little disciple's behavior is not wrong. When he woke up early in the hall, he asked inadvertently. Her shocked expression was clearly not faking. It was done without him knowing it.

Feeling his gaze, Chongzi finally regained his confidence.

If others don't believe in him, does he have to? Even if he lied to everyone in the world, he would not lie to her.

"No, teacher. I really wasn't lying! It flew to me on its own. I've never learned a blood spell..."

Min Yunzhong was agitated and interrupted him, “The Demonic Order was created by the headmaster himself and enshrined in the ancestral hall. Apart from me and the guardian, there is also Venerable Tianji. Who can order it? Could it be that Nanhua is still hiding such a teacher? What's more, it has been sealed by the forbidden magic of the devil's palace, how could he find you himself? You're clearly making excuses."

Everyone nodded, even if they believed him, they didn't know what to say.

Chongzi felt a sense of discrimination, "I know that I can't hide anything from Venerable Tianji. I'm just telling the truth and concluding that I don't know about the dream. Why did I deliberately make it up to make people suspicious? Please ask the Headmaster and the immortals to find out!" After speaking, nod again.

After listening to these words, everyone thought it made sense, and they spoke in low voices.

Yan Zhenzhu finally couldn't help standing up, "What Uncle Chongzi said is very true. If he wants to do it, why should he lie. I hope this matter is investigated clearly."

Wen Lingzhi, “That's not necessarily true. I have heard Your Highness Tianji say that Chongzi's fate is a mystery.

He had been making things difficult for her since she was a child. Chongzi was so young that he couldn't take it anymore. He was so angry that he cursed, "Wen Lingzhi, what kind of hatred do I have with you. You framed me like this!"

Wen Lingzhi blushed and raised her eyebrows, "Don't spit. I'm just saying it's possible, Nanhua can't tolerate people with bad intentions. As Min's supervising disciple how can I be selfish and stick up for you?"

Chongzi was furious, "You..."

Without further ado, Luo Yinfan cut him off, “Shut up.”

Min Yunzhong sneered, "Lying and deceiving. No respect. Really a good disciple of Nanhua."

In a hurry, he forgot his seniority, and Chongzi didn't dare to say more.

Yu Du frowned and said, "All the facts are there. You still refuse to admit it, and you can't blame others for not accepting it. Your Highness Tianji will never do you wrong."

Yan Zhenzhu seemed to think of something, “That disciple dares to talk a lot. I remember that there was a Dream Devil in the Ni Lun demon palace, and they were good at manipulating others in their dreams. Now, although the Dream Devil has disappeared, there is a Meng Ji faction in the Demon Palace. Jiuyou. Could Uncle Chongzi be trapped in the Nightmare Technique?"

Min Yunzhong said, "Do you want to say that Meng Ji has infiltrated our Nanhua?"

Yan Zhenzhu paused and said after a while, "Maybe..."

"Nonsense!" Min Yunzhong rebuked, "Nanhua disciples have been selected repeatedly, their origins are clear, and there are all kinds of gods, beasts, spirits, and birds guarding the mountain. To be able to sneak in unnoticed, how could a Mengji be so capable! You obviously insulting your own sect and rebelling. You should also be guilty of the same crime. If you say more, then you will be punished together!"

Yan Zhenzhu didn't dare to say anything else.

Yu Du beckoned to Xingxuan, "Is he in the nightmare technique? You can check it out, so no one will be dissatisfied."

Xingxuan stepped forward and pressed his right palm in front of Chongzi's forehead. After a while, he withdrew his hand and shook his head.

Mu Yu suddenly said, "If someone has more magical power than Venerable Tianji and deliberately hides the truth, Venerable Tianji will not be able to detect the truth, just like when the magic sword was stolen back then."

After ascending and descending Nanhua several times, there were only three people with mana higher than Xingxuan, Luo Yinfan would never harm his apprentice.

Min Yunzhong was furious, "Impudent! Are you saying that the Headmaster and I framed our students?"

“Master, calm down. This disciple has absolutely no intention of this,” Mu Yu smiled slightly and said calmly, “I just heard that when Chongzi was in Linhe city, he had encountered Demon Venerable Wan Jie… "

Min Yunzhong waved his sleeve and cut him off, "Joke! He is dreaming in Nanhua. How could Wan Jie help hide him. There are thousands of disciples in Nanhua, only his dreams come true. then, if not, how can the curse of blood be explained?" He snorted again, "Even if that's true, there must be evil thoughts in his heart, desiring the benefits of the Demonic Order. That's why he had such a dream."

Chongzi hurriedly said, "I never wanted the Demon Order!"

"Innate evil energy, sooner or later you will enter the devil's way!"

"I didn't hurt anyone."

"Innate nature is hard to change!"

Hearing this, Chong Zi raised his eyes and looked straight at him.

Knowing his prejudices, Chongzi has been careful over the years, just to win her heart, but who knew that he still said "innate nature is hard to change"!

He slowly said, “Xianzun is right. I was born with evil energy. But why? I also don't want to be like this. I've never done anything bad during this time. Never hurt anyone. fair punishment. Why is there always prejudice against ego. How is that different from judging people by their appearance? I'm not sure!"

Unexpectedly, he would dare to go against it, and there was silence around, Min Yunzhong choked with anger.

"God damn it!"

"Teacher..."

"Did master accept you as a student to make you disrespect those above you? The following offenses, were they to your tongue's benefit?"

Chongzi lowered his head, "This disciple knows his mistakes."

Luo Yinfan said, "I apologize to the Immortal Venerable."

Chongzi endured the grievances, and actually kowtowed to Min Yunzhong, "Chongzi is ignorant and frustrated at being punished by Immortal Venerable."

Knowing that he is protecting his flaws, Min Yunzhong believes in his identity. Since the younger generation had acknowledged his mistake, he didn't care anymore. He sneered for a while, “This disciple of yours has sharp teeth. "

Luo Yinfan was silent for a while, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard Yu Du's voice from his ear.

"Little brother wait, this matter is not simple."

Yu Du summoned the Demonic Order in front of him, turned his head and winked at the eldest disciple. The disciple immediately stepped forward, raised his right wrist, and rubbed his two fingers between his wrists. Crimson blood immediately flowed out and dripped onto the Demonic Order.

Yu Du motioned for him to step back, "Brother, with your cultivation, it should not be difficult to remove bloodstains."

Luo Yinfan didn't say anything, raised his palm and rubbed his Demonic Order.

Knowing something different, he deliberately used a supreme water purification spell, and in the twinkling of an eye, the bloodstains on the marks that the disciples had just dropped disappeared without a trace.

Yu Du looked at him.

Luo Yinfan stared blankly at the Demonic Order, his heart was full of shock, and he could hardly believe what was happening in front of him.

Although the new bloodstains had been removed, Chongzi's blood that remained from before was still clearly imprinted on it, instead of disappearing, it was even more obvious, as if it had integrated with the Demonic Order.

Top-level water purification spell, to remove dirt and dust, this is impossible!

Yu Du had already anticipated her reaction, and sighed, "My uncle and I tried our best, but we couldn't remove the bloodstain from above. It can be seen that this matter is extraordinary. It seems to have a lot to do with him."

"There is no blood relation with Ni Lun, and the blood mark is still there."

"By the way, this is a big problem, Brother..."

Luo Yinfan raised his hand to signal that he didn't need to say more, and turned to look at Chongzi.

The words of the two of them were conveyed by telepathic techniques. The others didn't hear it, and they were all shocked, but Chongzi's face was as pale as paper.

A faint expression that had remained unchanged for thousands of years, but he could feel that his teacher had abandoned him.

Chongzi knelt in front of him without moving, and muttered, "Master. I'm not lying. I'm really not lying."

As long as she believed in him and wasn't angry with him, no matter how others were wronged or punished, no matter how much punishment she was punished, or even lost, she was not afraid.

The atmosphere was suffocating, and all eyes were concentrated here, waiting for his decision.

After remaining silent for about a cup of tea, he finally spoke.

"The facts are there, what else do you have to say?"

Chongzi trembled and stared at him, "Chong'er doesn't lie, even if teacher wants me to die, I won't admit it..." Before he could finish speaking, he heard a muffled sound, and he rolled straight down the stone floor.

All the disciples in the field did not respond, and when they were stunned, Chongzi stopped rolling, his body floated in the air, and slowly fell back to the ground.

Min Yunzhong said with a sneer: "You still want to deny the facts. This kind of villain, it is impossible to protect!"

Luo Yinfan said lightly, "Since this traitor is from Chonghua, I will deal with it myself."

Several scratches slowly appeared on his face and forehead. Chongzi didn't care about the pain. He knelt down and tugged at his long sleeves, "Teacher! Master! The blood is mine, but I really don't know any blood curse. I didn't lie to you!"

"You still don't want to repent until now."

The clear voice shattered Chongzi's remaining self-confidence. It turned out that after so many years, he still couldn't believe it, and like Min Xianzun and others, he thought he would fall into the devil's way sooner or later.

He looked at her and shook his head, "Teacher..."

He raised his eyes to look at the horizon, and said word by word, “It takes a hundred years to enter the Kunlun Mountain Ice Prison.”

"Don't..." Don't leave him, don't leave Nanhua, he would rather die.

"Punishment in Ice Prison for one hundred years," he repeated.

***

Ice Prison Punishment is usually used by Xianmen to deal with disciples who have committed serious crimes and demons. No one would have imagined that it would be used on such a young girl now. In fact, this matter was both unexpected and reasonable. After all, Chongzi had committed a lot of crimes this time. The key is that everyone is familiar with the characters. No matter how you looked at it, he didn't look like the vile people of the past, which was of course a shame.

Trapped in ten thousand years mysterious ice, your mind is clear, but you can't move for half a minute, no sunlight, no life, some are just endless darkness, piercing to the bone, lonely for a hundred years.

There was a commotion below, and Mu Yu and the others were all dumbfounded. Only Yu Du smiled bitterly, and it was clear that this was a rare opportunity to be honest. Who knew that this junior brother was still as stubborn as ever!

Min Yunzhong sneered, "Just punish him for a hundred years?"

Luo Yinfan said, "Master uncle asked me to deal with it, and I have already faced it, right?"

Min Yunzhong's face was extremely ugly. The fact is in the Book of Secrets. Immortal disciples have this idea, and it is not an exaggeration to shake their souls. Helpless just now, he was overbearing and promised to let him face it. In front of the students, he couldn't take back what he said with his own mouth, so he could only snort, "The punishment is too light? Then I'm afraid it will be hard to convince the public."

Luo Yinfan didn't speak, just looked around coldly, no one dared to answer, including Wen Lingzhi.

Min Yunzhong said angrily: "What do you mean!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Yu Du hurriedly stopped. "Chongzi is still young, and this is his first offense. I think it is good for the younger brother to deal with him." No one can do anything, it can be seen that he has not forgotten the overall situation.

Since the principal said this, it is expected that the results will be difficult to change. The disciples looked at Chongzi. Most people vaguely noticed that there was something off about this matter, and they couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

Yan Zhenzhu knelt down anxiously and said loudly: "Your Highness, what kind of person is Chongzi, we have all seen him for so many years. You who are his parents still don't know? He really can't have such thoughts!"

As soon as these words came out, many disciples also interceded, "Your Majesty is compassionate."

Mu Yu also said, "Chongzi has never studied magic. How to understand the blood curse? This problem is still difficult to solve. The Ice Prison's punishment is too severe, I beg Your Highness to consider it."

A girl with a natural evil spirit had attracted so many people to intercede for her, and even her most treasured disciple was enthralled. Min Yunzhong was furious, “The Book of Heaven's Secrets is clear. Would Headmaster still wrong him! . As the first disciple, you don't set an example. On the contrary, you have always protected the Nanhua villain, and don't let me punish you to go to the ancestral hall to think about it!"

Mu Yu said, "It's okay for disciples to be punished, but this is right..."

He didn't finish speaking, Luo Yinfan had left with the colorful auspicious clouds.

Chongzi's eyes were bloodshot, biting his lip tightly. His hands rested on the ground, his body still shaking slightly.

He suddenly looked into the air and said loudly, "Chong'er won't apologize. I just asked teacher to stay for a while and listen to me."

Luo Yinfan stopped the cloud, but didn't turn around to look at it.

Min Yunzhong said, "You are still stubborn!"

Chongzi had already told the truth to clear up the accusations, quickly wiped away his tears, and bowed to the disciples below, "Thank you Uncle Mu and sister Zhenzhu, and also to all the brothers, sisters and nephews. Chongzi admits his mistakes, and you don't have to intercede for me."

Everyone fell silent.

He turned around and bowed to Yu Du again, "Thank you for your kindness, Headmaster. The fact is already there, Chongzi has nothing to say and is willing to be punished."

He didn't expect him to be like this, Yu Du was shocked, and his face was a little awkward, so he couldn't help but sighed, "You go first. I will investigate this matter again, if you are guilty, I will definitely order someone to bring you back."

Chongzi thanked him, and finally bowed to a familiar figure in the clouds.

When he raised his face, his big eyes were full of tears.

"Poor Chong'er, born with evil natural energy. Master did not give up on me and made me his disciple. Over the years, I have been taught and protected by my teacher. My life is not enough to repay teacher's kindness. Master has the heart of an ordinary person, but how can I Dare to have a devil's heart?"

He solemnly lifted Xing Can up, looked at the tall man in the clouds, and said with tears, "This stick is called Xing Can, and teacher gave it with his own hand. Chong'er has never dared to forget teacher's teachings, and I will never dare to deceive the teacher. Now that I have admitted my mistake, it is only because of this that I did it, but from beginning to end, I have never lied, let alone a blood curse."

"Originally, I just wanted to live quietly and stay on Zizhu Peak to serve teacher, but this time I am willing to go to Kunlun. I only hope that teacher will believe in me. After a hundred years, let me return to Zizhu Peak and continue to serve teacher."

Between the words, Xing Can suddenly flashed a brilliance.

Everyone was stunned, including Min Yunzhong.

Tears finally came out of her eyes again, and she fell to the ground, choked with sobs, "I just asked the teacher... I asked the teacher to remember me, come and see me when the teacher passes through Kunlun one day."

Even if he only glanced at it, Chongzi was already satisfied.

His white clothes rippled in the wind, and the waves in his hands seemed to tremble.

"Depart to Kunlun, and leave immediately." He said lightly, and left on the cloud.

After a long time, Xingxuan broke the silence with a sigh, looked at Chongzi and Yu Du. The old face was a little uneasy. Xingcan naturally pointed out the truth. Could it be that he really made a mistake and mistreated her?

Min Yunzhong said, "I believe that the magic weapon has been assimilated by his evil energy."

Yu Du didn't say much, turned around and ordered, "Wen Lingzhi. I need you to quickly bring fifty disciples to Kunlun, and set off immediately, without any mistakes."

Wen Lingzhi replied.

Although Min Yunzhong is not very satisfied with the result, but after thinking about it, it is a good idea to be trapped for a hundred years. Yu Du had suggested it from the start, but unfortunately he rejected it at that time. Trapped in mysterious ice at the bottom of the Kunlun Mountains for thousands of years. No wonder he has such great skills, and as long as he leaves Nanhua, it can be reassuring.

When this kind of thing happened suddenly, all the disciples disappeared silently as if they were in a dream.

***

In the clouds, two figures stood facing each other.

"Was it really a mistake?" he asked anxiously.

"Impossible."

"Since that's true, why hasn't the Demon Order's seal been released yet?"

"I thought, maybe it's because he lacks evil energy." he mused.

"What should I do now? Really let him be trapped in the Ice Prison for a hundred years?" he snorted.

"You go down, I have my reasons."

***

Wen Lingzhi was ordered by Yu Du, and immediately took fifty disciples to send Chongzi down the mountain and rush to Kunlun, without even having time to say goodbye to Mu Yu, Yan Zhenzhu and others. 

On the way, the female disciples were instructed by Wen Lingzhi to be tough on Chongzi in every possible way. Chongzi was guilty at this time, and didn't dare to stir up trouble again, for fear that Luo Yinfan would find out and he would become angry, so he had to hold back. Then remembers the accident. Lots of grievances, insomnia for several days in a row, and forced to rush about during the day, showing a haggard look.

Regarding that strange dream, Chongzi still doesn't know it. He obviously doesn't know the blood curse.

The answer doesn't really matter anymore. He's not stupid. Yu Du's words to investigate her and bring her back were perfunctory. He and Min Yunzhong have always had prejudice against him because of his evil spirit nature. Chongzi was worried that he wanted to deal with him a long time ago, not to mention that the special induction of the Demon Order had made them more vigilant.

Being mistreated, Chongzi didn't care, he only cared about his teacher.

It doesn't matter if the Ice Prison Punishment is for a hundred years. But why would he rather be disappointed and angry than believe it? She was devoted to being his most obedient disciple, respected him, loved him, how could he lie to her?

Accompanying each other for six years, all the tenderness and sweetness were wiped away with one word, and she didn't even look at him.

How far is Kunlun? Chongzi stared blankly at the road ahead, his big eyes nearly losing focus.

"What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up." Someone reached out and patted him.

After several days of lacking energy, relying on the energy from Xing Can to lead him steadily forward, Chong Zi was finally unable to support him due to this sudden force, and his body tilted sideways.

There are screams all around.

The culprit didn't panic, swooped down like a hawk and took him into his arms swiftly and accurately.

Chong Zi still hasn't returned to God.

He looked at her with a half smile, "Little sister..."

It turned out that Zhuo Hao led a few Qinghua Palace disciples out, and he would return to Qinghua after finishing his work. The two factions have always been on good terms. When they met, they naturally had to stop and say hello. Zhuo Hao saw that Wen Lingzhi was leading the team. Because she had angered Yin Shuixian and was suspected of being dangerous to Chongzi, she always had no good feelings for him, and was planning to leave with a few polite words, but a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

Chongzi didn't pay attention to what was going on around him at all, and followed the wooden head Xing Can to the front, and the female disciples around him who were in charge of guarding him didn't stop him. He just wanted her to embarrass herself in front of her classmates.

Seeing that his eyes were dull and haggard, Zhuo Hao frowned and glanced at Wen Ling who was not far away, "With such an ugly face, did someone bully you?"

Chong Zi finally recovered and shook his head.

"Exactly, I have something to tell you," Zhuo Hao lowered his face and whispered in her ear, "Did you get my letter, why don't you reply?"

The marriage proposal had not yet been made public. Chongzi looked around, a little embarrassed, and wanted to leave his embrace, but unfortunately the arm was hugged tighter.

Xing Can wandered around, apparently dissatisfied.

"Brother Zhuo, let me go first..."

"Senior?" Zhuo Hao raised his eyebrows, "I already know your Majesty's worries about your evil spirit nature. Don't be afraid, I will beg my father to take you to Qinghua."

Does he mind? Chongzi was stunned for a moment, then looked away, "Thank you Senior Brother Zhuo for your kindness, but... I'm afraid I won't be able to leave."

Zhuo Hao put away his ridicule, and his tone softened, "Are you worried about the sister? Are you afraid that I will tease you? It was just a joke when I was young. I have nothing to do with them. Zhuo Hao's brother will definitely treat you well."

Chongzi forced a smile and urged, "I know, you go back first."

Zhuo Hao was secretly happy and teased her, "It's so easy to meet. My Little Miss doesn't want me to say two more words?"

Chongzi turned his face. "There are so many people, let's talk about it in the future. Let it go."

"I will listen now."

"You go back first, and I will write to you."

"Is that true?"

"Certain."

Zhuo Hao stared at him for a long time and said, "What happened?" There were many sisters around him, and he knew the reactions of girls all too well. At this time, seeing his promise was so refreshing, which was so different from usual, how could he not suspect

Chongzi shouted loudly. "I'll talk about it later!"

Wen Lingzhi had already come over with his sword and bowed to Zhuo Hao, "We still have to hurry, Palace Master Zhuo Hao, let's go, Chong Zi, hurry up."

Chongzi said "Oh" and hurriedly motioned for Zhuo Hao to let go.

Seeing that he was treated quite harshly by Chongzi, Zhuo Hao wanted to have a seizure, but he was afraid that he would get into trouble for Chongzi on the road. So he showed a smiling face and said, "Big sister, why the rush?"

The other party was the Young Master of Qinghua Palace, and he should be good friends. Wen Lingzhi made up her mind and smiled sweetly, "This matter was ordered by the Headmaster himself. If you have time, I hope Senior Brother Zhuo will come to Nanhua more often, and Lingzhi would also like to ask for advice."

Zhuo Hao said, "I don't dare, but I have something to say to my little sister. If big sister allows me to take her one step further, I will send her here later. It won't interfere with your business, how about it?"

Wen Lingzhi's nature was to always like to be the center of attention, and she was beautiful and agile. When he was in Nanhua, apart from Qin Ke, most of the disciples would praise him, but now seeing the other party's focus on Chongzi, not paying attention to himself, it is even more uncomfortable, for that he said, "This... If Senior Brother Zhuo has something to say, why don't you just say it here."

They look at each other. It's not unusual to stay and say a few words. Zhuo Hao was annoyed that he wasn't interested, so he just raised his eyebrows while holding Chongzi. His tone was extremely ambiguous and intimate, "Sister Wen really wants to listen to our conversation?"

Wen Lingzhi blushed and sarcastically said, “Senior Brother Qinghua Zhuo, sure enough it is exactly as rumored.”

Zhuo Hao didn't change his face, "How dare you, considering that I am of the same generation as Senior Brother Qin, how can you call myself big brother in front of you? Just now I was confused and forgot my seniority Uncle Wen, please forgive me."

Chongzi was silent, it turned out that he was also very annoying.

As expected, Wen Lingzhi was stabbed where it hurt, her pretty face was red and white, and she sneered, "Whatever you want to say to her, say it as soon as possible, or you won't be able to say it in the future."

Zhuo Hao heard something wrong, his face sank, "What do you mean Uncle?"

Wen Lingzhi said, "That's not interesting. You asked him why he was sent to Kunlun."

Zhuo Hao was confused for a while and looked at Chongzi, "Sent to Kunlun, you..."

Chong Zi lowered his eyes and did not answer.

Wen Lingzhi said, “He tried to steal the decrees of the gods, and his sins were extremely serious. Your merciful highness, saved his life and only made him suffer a hundred year Ice Prison Punishment. no one is capable of making up for it. What else does Palace Lord Zhuo not understand?”

Ice Prison Punishment! Zhuo Hao was too shocked to speak.

Disappointed, he was an unforgivable person, born with evil energy, and even tried to awaken the Demonic Order, Chongzi slowly slipped away from his hands, "Uncle Wen, let's go."

"You didn't do it, did you?" Zhuo Hao clasped his hands together.

His nose ached, tears welled up, and complaints poured out for days. Chong Zi finally couldn't help but cry in his arms.

"Your Highness... The teacher must have made a mistake!" Zhuo Hao suddenly pulled his sword over to leave, "I'll take you back to see him!"

Wen Lingzhi stopped the two, "Master Zhuo, don't go too far."

"Let me!"

"All the facts are there. I advise Young Master Zhou not to meddle in our sect's affairs."

Zhuo Hao said angrily: "What facts! I think there must be a story in it, and I can't blame him for no reason!"

Wen Lingzhi, "The headmaster and His Majesty personally ordered. Why are you complaining? Please make way for young master Zhuo Hao, and Lingzhi will come back and explain in the future."

Zhuo Hao said, "I will bring him back to explain!"

Chongzi was so frightened that he endured it. Although he was harmed by this matter, if he really came back with him, his teacher would only be more furious, and he would also be severely punished when Zhuo Hao returned to Qinghua in the future, “Brother Zhuo, don't bother, it's my fault. ready to be punished!"

Zhuo Hao's face turned blue, "No...no...don't you know? The Ice Prison's punishment is not child's play. Do you know where the Ice Prison is?!"

"Only a hundred years, I can practice in it and cultivate to a bone fairy even faster."

"Nonsense. I'll take you back today!"

Wen Lingzhi said coldly, "If Young Master Zhuo insists on getting in the way, don't blame us for offending."

Zhuo Hao sneered, "If we go together, I don't believe anyone can stop us!"

Wen Lingzhi said angrily: "What are you doing? Don't go!"

He had originally ordered all of the Nanhua disciples to come over and stop him, but he knew that there was still no movement behind him. 

"He wants to come with me." A tired voice sounded beside him.

The entire Chonghua Palace seemed to have turned into a pool of stagnant water, desolate, and the room was still neat and tidy, barely changing from before he left.

Luo Yinfan stood still in front of the bed, looking at Shen Yingjing in his arms.

In the mirror, a man in white slowly walked down the stairs, walked out of Chonghua Palace, and walked down Zizhu Peak, with a sword disappearing into the clouds.

The image is very familiar, and the figure is more familiar. It was the day before the accident, when he went to do errands. Back then, he knew that Chongzi had followed him to take a look, but he didn't know that. He silently took his back to Shen Ying's mirror, put it beside the bedside pillow.

It's not that she doesn't understand her addiction, it's not that she doesn't believe in it.

After all the Heaven's Secret Book, it couldn't change the facts

He had never paid much attention to words like "destined", but now, seeing everything that happened, he finally understood what powerlessness, dream, blood curse... Was it really as the brothers and the others said, because natural evil energy, no matter how hard he tried, he was still fated to walk that path in the end?

He had said that he would protect her, but when the truth was in front of him, he had no reason to protect her.

"Qin Ke requests to see His Majesty." A clear voice came from his ear.

The image on the mirror was erased, Luo Yinfan expressionlessly threw the mirror back onto the pillow and turned to walk out.

The smoke in the four seas swayed, and the water surface clearly showed the situation under Zizhu Peak. Except for Qin Ke and Yan Zhenzhu, there are several disciples next to them, who have been kneeling for several days.

Luo Yinfan didn't see it, but he was even angrier when he saw it.

After six years of hard work, he still let him have a big disaster. His disciples were punished, but he pulled these people to their knees and begged for mercy. Has this teacher become a criminal.

"Are you guys insisting?"

"He didn't do this on purpose. I beg your Majesty's kindness. How could he endure the Ice Prison Punishment."

“Whether it was intentional or not, it has become a fact,” Luo Yinfan said lightly, “The matter of the Demon Order is not a trivial matter, it is related to the safety of the Six Realms, and must not be tolerated. You will only be punished with 20 lashes; Yan Zhenzhu secretly silently report to you, cause trouble, and will be punished with fifty rods."

Yan Zhenzhu was so angry that he didn't care about anything, “A strict person like Min Xianjun has always protected his disciple. His Majesty knows better than us about Chongzi's behavior, but Min Xianjun is so ruthless for the sake of his own reputation, he doesn't hesitate to team up with others. in wrongfully punishing his apprentice. Zhenzhu only realized today that His Highness is as cruel as they say!”

Luo Yinfan's tone was slightly cold, "What do you mean, Chonghua Palace disciple, I can't handle it?"

No disciple dared to go against him like this, Yan Zhenzhu was already embarrassed, and when he was about to argue again, someone came beside him.

"Mu Yu is seeing His Royal Highness."

"Mark my words. This matter has been decided, and anyone who begs for mercy will be punished together."
