Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

The reason why Wei Qingchuan is so respected by all the disciples of Lingyun Sword Sect is not only because he is the eldest disciple of the sect leader and has outstanding talent, but also the most important reason is that he is strict with himself, cultivates himself seriously, treats all disciples equally and is never biased.

It was precisely because of his incorruptibility that he became one of the four major judges of the ordination hall at such a young age. A man who had never made a mistake and even held the power of punishment was now directly punished with thirty beatings of the stick, and it was not due to his own fault.

If it were someone else, he would have loudly defended himself by now. The kneeling disciples naturally wanted to plead for him, but before anyone could speak, Wei Qingchuan, who was kneeling on the ground, bowed his head and responded, "Disciple thanks the master for his teachings, and I am willing to accept the punishment."

As soon as Gu Hongzi opened his mouth, he knew that his punishment was too severe. He originally thought that if Wei Qingchuan asked for mercy, he would also reduce the punishment. However, this man did not say a word and directly accepted the whole thing. He could only stroke his beard awkwardly, coughed lightly and said, "It's good that you admit your mistakes. After the punishment, go to the pool in the back mountain and soak."

After this, Gu Hongzi finally turned his gaze to Lin Xi who was sitting in the wheelchair. His serious expression softened, and he even looked a little guilty. "This must be Miss Lin, right? I am Gu Hongzi, the head of Lingyun Sword Sect. Thanks to you for picking the rare flowers for our elders. I would like to express my gratitude." He bowed to Lin Xi and continued, "But now the elder is still in seclusion. When she comes out, she will definitely thank you in person."

"You are too polite, Immortal. My life was saved by my cousin... uh... Master Wei and others. It is my duty to pick flowers for you." Lin Xi waved her hands timidly, acting as if she was excited but also a little embarrassed after seeing an immortal.

"That's wrong. Helping the poor and needy is the unshirkable responsibility of those of us who practice Taoism. Miss Lin, please don't have such an idea." Lingyun Sword Sect is indeed a lineage of righteousness. Hearing Lin Xi's words, Gu Hongzi hurriedly said in a serious tone.

Lin Xi was naturally humble again, and the two exchanged greetings for a while. Then the elders came up one by one to greet Lin Xi and gave her a lot of gifts. Finally, the fifth elder, Yu Xusheng, stepped forward to state his identity and said that everything for Lin Xi's treatment had been prepared, but considering that she was tired from the long journey today, they would have to start tomorrow. Lin Xi naturally agreed, and the group finally entered the mountain gate in a mighty manner.

At night, seeing the lights in Lin Xi's courtyard go out, Wei Qingchuan and Yue Qian walked out and went to the headmaster's residence together.

Lingyun Sword Sect is located between the mountains, and the sect is full of green bamboos. Now in the deep of night, the bamboo breeze blows among the thousands of green bamboos, refreshing the heart and soul. The two did not fly swords, but walked on foot in the bamboo forest trails. Yue Qian looked at Wei Qingchuan who was silent all the way beside him, and finally couldn't help but speak, "Big Brother, is the master calling us here tonight because of the matter of Junior Sister?"

"Yeah." Wei Qingchuan tilted his head slightly as a response.

"Alas, where is Junior Sister? We have searched the barrier thoroughly, but she seems to have evaporated without a trace. I am really worried that she has met with something..."

"No." Wei Qingchuan interrupted her, "Her life lamp is still on, nothing will happen to her."

"This is the only good idea I have now. I hope the master and the elders can find a solution." Yue Qian nodded in agreement and then said as if praying.

There was no point in worrying about Luo Qinghe, so Yue Qian thought of Lin Xi again, "But what should Miss Lin do next? The Fifth Elder does have a pill that can restore memory, but the potency is very strong. Now that she is so weak, she may have to wait until her legs are completely healed before she can take the pill."

Thinking of Lin Xi crying and asking him whether he would abandon her that night, Wei Qingchuan's heart moved slightly. He pursed the corners of his lips subconsciously, and a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes that he himself did not even notice, but he quickly concealed it by lowering his eyes.

"When she regains her memory, if she wants to leave, I will send her home. If she doesn't want to..." He seemed a little confused when he said this, but soon he spoke again, "Then, I will keep her."

Under the crescent moon, with lush branches and leaves, the second half of Wei Qingchuan's sentence was particularly low, as if it was disturbed by the swaying bamboo shadows, and then blown away by the wind, floating away without a trace. Yue Qian, who was standing beside him, didn't hear clearly for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Big Brother? What did you say?"

"Nothing." Wei Qingchuan seemed to suddenly wake up, shook his head gently, and said no more. Yue Qian blinked, knowing the temper of her senior brother, and stopped asking. The two of them were silent all the way and soon arrived at the headmaster's residence.

……

"Even you, the Sect Leader, are unable to find out the exact location of our Junior Sister?" In Yunyi Courtyard, Yue Qian spoke anxiously, looking at Gu Hongzi who was sitting at the upper seat with a worried look on her face.

Gu Hongzi and the second elder, who also had a worried look on his face, looked at each other and sighed, "It is indeed impossible. When you sent back the message a month ago, we were able to find out that it was roughly around the Boundary River. However, as time goes by, even the Jade Compass can no longer find Qinghe's exact location."

"Fortunately, the life lamp is not extinguished. Senior brother, don't worry too much. Qinghe is a smart and tenacious child. If he finds an opportunity, he will definitely send a message to us. I have secretly sent this news to various immortal sects and asked them to keep an eye on it for us. I think there will be news soon."

"Alas, this is the only way. When you and other people from the immortal sect arrive at the boundary river, ask around in the surrounding area." Gu Hongzi shook his head and then gave another instruction.

"Okay, each sect will send people to reinforce the barrier this time. With more people, it will be easier to find." The second elder nodded in agreement.

"It's all because of my incompetence that Master and the elders have to worry about it, and even have to have you, Second Uncle, go in person to reinforce the barrier." Wei Qingchuan looked ashamed and stood up, clasped his fists and apologized.

"It's not your fault. Qinghe followed in on her own. You also took the trouble to look for her. You must not take this upon yourself and only add to your inner demons." The usually gentle Second Elder took a tough stance for once. He glanced at Gu Hongzi, who looked a little embarrassed, and continued.

"As for the matter of repairing the human-demon barrier, we still need to gather the strength of hundreds of schools. It is not something that a few fledgling disciples like you can solve."

"Listen to your uncle. The master was also in a hurry at that time. You must not take it to heart." Hearing the second elder mention the inner demon, Gu Hongzi was shocked and hurriedly advised.

Wei Qingchuan responded and sat down again. His face was as calm as ever. It was unknown whether he had heard it or not. Gu Hongzi secretly looked at him for a long time, and seeing that his expression was normal, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned to ask about Lin Xi's situation.
