Evil Master and Disciple

Ye Feng is very bad. This is the consensus of the entire Yunhai Sect, from the elders to the menial disciples.

But, he is just plain bad.

Ye Feng is not selfish.

Neither the original owner nor the current guest is a selfish person.

Back then, Ye Feng poisoned an elephant that Xiaoman was responsible for raising in order to conduct a poison experiment on Yue Yinling.

Although Ye Feng took the initiative to take responsibility and dug a hole to bury the elephant himself, Miss Xiaoman was still punished by the elders of the Beast Spirit Academy for this matter.

At the beginning, Ye Feng felt that Lin Yi and others were going to harm him, so he fled at night. He secretly placed a thousand-year-old fairy fungus at the door of Miss Xiaoman in order to make up for his mistake.

If he made a mistake, he could bear it alone and would never implicate his friends.

The same is true today.

He tried his best to take the blame for the gang fight and spoke well of the three tyrants, Yun Shuang'er, Shangguan Lan, and Yue Yinling.

The actions of these people today can be defined as a chivalrous act of helping others when seeing injustice, and as a brotherhood of loyalty and loyalty.

This was done to reduce the punishment imposed on his friends by the Disciplinary Institute.

They are all smart people, who can't hear the hidden meaning of his words?

To be honest, Shangguan Lan and Yun Shuang'er, who were originally very angry with Ye Feng, felt warm in their hearts after hearing Ye Feng's words.

Yue Yinling even cooperated with Ye Feng to disrupt today's trial meeting, which was supposed to be serious, into something less serious.

The inner sect examination is approaching, and the three of them are all the best inner sect disciples of the Yunhai Sect. As long as the matter is not handled seriously, at most they will have to compensate the Yunhai Pavilion with a little silver, and everyone will be put in solitary confinement. The ban will definitely be lifted before the battle begins.

Looking at Ye Feng and Yue Yinling singing in unison and turning the solemn and dignified Discipline Court into a storytelling tea stall under the overpass, Yu Chenzi frowned slightly.

He had already seen Lao Liu's wretched fat face in the crowd.

I also saw Shangguan Lan and Yun Shuang'er's senior sisters.

But it's strange that Fatty Yulong, who always protects his children, didn't stand up and say anything today.

The two junior sisters Yunyu and Yuying, who were supposed to come forward to settle the matter immediately, did not show up, but only sent their disciples to listen.

This is very unreasonable.

After all, Yun Shuang'er and Shangguan Lan are the most respected disciples of these two junior sisters.

Yu Chenzi looked at the four young men in green standing with their hands hanging down, and suddenly, he understood something.

If I remember correctly, these four people are disciples of my two junior brothers Shouhe and Yunqin.

After decades of cultivation, they have all reached a high level and are considered the elites of the inner sect.

However, they are very close to Dugu Changkong.

After the incident three months ago when Ye Feng collected debts from Tianfengyuan, everyone in the Yunhai Sect believed that Ye Feng was Fu Jinghong's man.

Xianling Valley Yunhai Pavilion is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zhikeyuan, and the person who currently controls Zhikeyuan is Fu Jinghong.

"Whoosh..."

Yu Chenzi took a breath.

Strange, why does this scene seem so familiar?

By the way, I remembered it.

More than two hundred years ago, an almost identical bloody conflict seemed to have occurred.

The location is also at Yunhai Pavilion.

Although the number of people involved in the fight was not as large as today, it was definitely not small, and... the reasons seemed to be the same.

At that time, the sixth brother made a fortune and dragged six beautiful junior sisters, including Yunyu, Yuying, Yunmu, etc., to Yunhai Pavilion for a dinner. All of them were from the same branch of Master Yunyi.

At Yunhai Pavilion, I met a few people from the same school as my senior brother Yunhe Shangren who were having dinner.

In just a few words, a conflict broke out between the two sides.

Lao Liu brought six fairies and fought against the heroes.

The results were somewhat different from today.

In that battle, Lao Liu and Yuying won a great victory.

Unlike today, Ye Feng brought six people with him, and it seemed that he lost the fight and was beaten into a pig's head.

"Could it be that what happened today is the same as what happened back then?"

Yu Chenzi was secretly guessing in his heart.

"No wonder Old Six, who loves to make a fuss all the time, as well as Yuying and Yunyu, haven't shown up. I'm afraid Changkong and Jinghong are involved in today's incident."

Thinking of this, a bitter smile appeared on Yu Chenzi's old face.

If it was just a simple fight, the way to deal with it would be very simple. According to the rules of the sect, each person would be given fifty lashes. As for the damaged Yunhai Pavilion, compensation would be paid according to the list listed by the Yunhai Pavilion.

However, if this matter involves the fight for the throne, it will be difficult to handle.

Like most of the smart elders, Yu Chenzi will not easily take sides in the fight for the throne.

Until now, he has not made any ambiguous promises to his two nephews, Changkong or Jinghong.

Even if he doesn't take sides, no matter who of the two becomes the head in the future, as long as Yu Chenzi is still alive, he will be the supreme elder.

Fatty Yulong, Fairy Yunyu and others also thought so, so they could not show up, and they dared not show up.

Now all the pressure is on Yu Chenzi.

If this matter is not handled properly, it will be very troublesome.

No matter which side he favors, the disciples of Yunhai Sect will think that Yu Chenzi has already taken sides.

In the brutal struggle for the throne, it doesn’t matter whether you actually take sides or not.

What’s important is whether others think you have taken sides.

Once they think that you are secretly supporting one side, the other camp will attack you by any means necessary.

It was because of this that more than two hundred years ago, the then Grand Elder of the Discipline Institute, Master Xuanshi, was caught in a dilemma and ultimately had no choice but to impose heavy monetary penalties on both parties involved in the fight.

Because of that severe punishment, no one dared to fight, cause trouble, or get drunk in Yunhai Pavilion anymore.

Yu Chenzi's head was already hurting, and now it hurt even more.

There are now two paths before him.

Or they will all be severely punished like Uncle Xuanshi was back then.

Or all of them will be given lighter punishments.

Severe punishment is unlikely. According to the sect rules, such a large-scale private fight would result in fifty strokes of the cane, forced to copy the sect rules a thousand times, and confinement to the house for at least three months.

Not to mention three months, even one month is not enough.

The inner sect examination is about to begin. Yun Shuang'er, Shangguan Lan, and Yue Yinling are strong contenders for the top ten, and they are very likely to represent the Yunhai Sect in the Lingshan Competition next year.

If they are confined to their homes for three months, they will miss this inner sect competition and will not be able to get tickets to next year's Lingshan competition.

If that were the case, wouldn't Yuying, Yunyu, Shouxun... fight him to the death? It would also affect the Yunhai Sect's performance in the Lingshan Competition.

Yu Chenzi, who has always been known for his impartiality, fairness and strictness, felt troubled at this moment.

More and more disciples gathered at the gate of the Discipline Hall, from the initial three or four hundred to nearly a thousand people in a short time.

Fu Jinghong came first, and now even Dugu Changkong is here too.

The two did not disturb Yu Chenzi's trial, but stood in the crowd and watched quietly.

With so many people gathered here, it is impossible to drive them away or hold a private trial behind closed doors.

Yu Chenzi pinched his eyebrows.

After a while, he said, "Yuan Buqi."

The fat shopkeeper of Yunhai Pavilion immediately came out happily.

The fat man said humbly, "I am honored to meet Uncle Yuchen."

Yu Chenzi asked, "What are the losses of Yunhai Pavilion?"

Yuan Buqi immediately took out a few pieces of paper from his bosom and said happily, "This time, these junior brothers and sisters had a private fight, causing the damage of twelve solid wooden dining tables in Yunhai Pavilion, each worth six thousand taels, for a total of seventy-two thousand taels.

Eighteen solid wooden benches were damaged, each worth one thousand taels, totaling eighteen thousand taels.

Eighty-six bowls and plates were damaged, all of which were high-quality fine porcelain, equivalent to 20,000 taels of silver.

The floor tiles were damaged in many places and needed to be re-tiled, costing approximately 13,500 taels of labor and materials.

The renovation is expected to take about six days. Yunhai Pavilion currently has a daily turnover of about 6,000 taels, which means 36,000 taels in six days.

Adding miscellaneous repair costs, it was about three thousand taels.

By the way, we can’t open for these six days, and there are still a lot of new ingredients in the kitchen, which are bound to go bad. They are probably worth 10,000 taels.

According to statistics, the total amount is 172,500 taels. We are all fellow disciples, so the small change of 500 taels is not counted."

When Yuan Buqi said out the amounts of compensation with a smile, countless disciples inside and outside the Discipline Academy were dumbfounded.

Only the elders of the older generation who had experienced what happened more than two hundred years ago were not surprised.

Ye Feng was the first to jump out and shouted, "Are you kidding me? 170,000 taels?"

"No, no, Junior Brother Ye, it's not 170,000 taels, it's 172,000 taels. With my personal authority, I can only erase 500 taels for you. I can't erase the other 2,000 taels."

Ye Feng quickly stepped forward, snatched the compensation list, and shouted, "How can it be so expensive? Why don't you go and grab it?"

"Oh, Junior Brother Ye, our Yunhai Sect is a prestigious and upright sect. Robbery not only violates the sect's rules, but also the laws of the court. We can't do that.

Besides, how can you make money as quickly as this by robbing, don’t you think?

It's written in black and white, with detailed information, fair and honest, and legal."

"You still have the nerve to say it's legal and reasonable? Six thousand taels of silver per table? Are you kidding me?"

"It's made of huanghuali wood, at the market price!"

"Huanghuali? Do you think I've never seen Huanghuali? It's obviously just ordinary pine and cypress wood!"

"Eh, eh, eh...Junior Brother Ye, be careful. Our Yunhai Pavilion is the largest and most luxurious restaurant within a thousand miles. We need to entertain foreign guests, so all the tables, chairs, and benches are made of top-quality Huanghuali wood! It's just...it just looks a bit like pine and cypress wood."

"Forehead?!"

Ye Feng understood that this fat man was blackmailing him!

He was openly blackmailing in front of the chief elder of the Discipline Institute and hundreds of Yunhai Sect disciples.

This thief's behavior is much worse than Miao Xiaorou, who was allowed to take bribes and openly embezzle money in Xianling Valley.

He did not argue.

Yuan Buqi looked fat and white, not very impressive in appearance, but Ye Feng could feel that this fat man had a sweet smile and a harmless expression, which was similar to that of his fat master.

Definitely not a fool.

Since he is not stupid, why does he dare to blackmail Yu Chenzi in front of him?

Ye Feng instantly realized that he had underestimated today's bloody conflict.

He couldn't help but turn his head and look at the people behind him.

However, he hardly knew any of the people involved in the fight, nor did he know their backgrounds.

For a moment, I couldn't figure out who gave this little fat boy the courage.
