Kill the heroine at the beginning, and the little apprentice sister will take away the luck
Chapter 54: Punishing Me to Lose a Disciple
“Humph, I didn’t say anything too extreme. I just said that you sympathized with the fate of the demon cultivator and watched him kill the mayor of Xuewu City.
Wu Xiang and I both know what kind of person your Senior Brother Tang is, so we know there's something fishy going on here. However, he also has to go to the Law Enforcement Hall.
What's more, we don't know who brought the news back, and we're still hoping that person will come forward soon."
Gu Yanhuai flew his sword very quickly and arrived outside the Law Enforcement Hall just as he finished speaking.
Leng Zhuxin had already guessed who the informant was, and as she walked with Gu Yanhuai into the Law Enforcement Hall, she said with a smile, "I know who the informant is, and Senior Brother Tang should have guessed it too.
Master, you and Uncle Wu Xiang don't have to worry, we can handle this matter ourselves."
……
In the Law Enforcement Hall, Tang Xiuhe was not forced to kneel on the ground, but stood upright in the middle, only taking off the spiritual sword on his body.
Wu Xiang and Chu He arrived earlier and were already sitting on the chairs to the left of Zheng Jie. After Gu Yanhuai came in, he first nodded to Zheng Jie and Wu Xiang, and then walked to the main seat and sat down.
Leng Zhuxin also stood behind Gu Yanhuai.
Because Leng Yueyao was a mortal, Shangguan Heng took Leng Yueyao to the dining hall first after leaving the master's hall, so the master and disciple were the last to arrive.
When he came in, he didn't say hello to anyone and sat on the chair on the right.
When Chen Wei came in, she saw the same seating arrangements as in a three-court trial. She greeted the elders with some trepidation, and did not stand with Leng Zhuxin, but stood next to Tang Xiuhe.
Gu Yanhuai glanced down and said, "Since all the disciples participating in the mission are here, let's get started."
After hearing this, Leng Zhuxin and Chu He also stood together with the disciples.
Zheng Jie's sharp eyes swept across the faces of each disciple. He said to the leader, Tang Xiuhe, "A few days ago, the sect received news that you watched a demonic cultivator harm someone in Xuewu City. Is this true?"
"true."
Tang Xiuhe did not deny it.
When Zheng Jie heard these two words, he should have been angry, but the disciples who had expected Zheng Jie to be angry found that Zheng Jie's expression did not fluctuate at all.
It was as if he didn't hear what Tang Xiuhe said.
He then asked, "If it's true, then tell us why you did that. And the disciple who brought this news back, please come forward. I, the Law Enforcement Hall, will definitely reward you handsomely."
Zheng Jie almost locked his eyes on Zhang Wu Lei.
Tang Xiuhe calmly told the story of the feud between Lu Wuyou and Lu Wu, and also said that after arresting Lu Wuyou, he did not let Lu Wuyou hurt anyone again.
After hearing this, Zheng Jie hummed a small sigh and said, "It's understandable, but it's a violation of the sect's rules, and you'll still be punished. The disciple who brought the news back can be considered to have made amends, so he won't be punished."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Wu Lei, who had been hiding in the crowd and had been silent, stood up.
"Elder Zheng, I was the one who brought back the news. I felt that Senior Brother Tang's actions were against the sect's rules, and I didn't want to see Senior Brother Tang make the same mistake again, so I passed the news back to the sect."
Zhang Wu Lei's words were high-sounding, as if he was telling the truth just to make peace with Tang Xiu.
Although Tang Xiu and the others had long suspected that Zhang Wu Lei was the informant, they still couldn't help but sarcastically say, "Then I have to thank Junior Brother Zhang for helping me find my way back."
Wu Xiang, who was sitting down, followed suit and said, "It seems that my master has done something wrong, which is why you distrust me and pass the news to Chang Heng Xianzun. Your eldest brother and the other disciples' actions are not problematic in terms of the greater good."
The sect rules do not have an explicit provision on this. They only stipulate that if Qingxuan Sect disciples see evil cultivators hurting people outside, they should kill them and not disregard other people's lives.
Tang Xiuhe and others are also my disciples of Jianfeng. As the peak master, I am also guilty of lax discipline. In my opinion, I should either fine them some contribution points, and punish me by losing a disciple with excellent aptitude.
It just so happened that we at Jianfeng didn't have any thunder spiritual root techniques, so Zhang Wu Lei became closer to the Immortal Venerable Chang Heng.
In order to prevent an old man like me from hindering his future, I will let him become a disciple of the Immortal Lord Chang Heng again."
Wu Xiang didn't even look at Zhang Wu Lei, and said to Zheng Jie.
Zhang Wu Lei looked at Shangguan Heng with eager and expectant eyes. Shangguan Heng's brows were tightly furrowed, and he had no intention of accepting Zhang Wu Lei as his disciple.
His expression was cold and emotionless as he said, "Zhang Wulei and I don't have any master-disciple relationship. I only accept disciples who are gifts from heaven."
"If you don't accept a personal disciple, it's also a good idea to accept an inner disciple. I think Zhang Wulei has a good character and is very suitable for practicing the ruthless way. You have two disciples in Changheng Mountain who have thunder spirit roots. It wouldn't be a problem to accept another one to teach together."
Gu Yanhuai also followed suit. After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Zhang Wulei below and asked, "Are you willing to become a disciple of the Immortal Lord Chang Heng?"
No one wants to be changed from a direct disciple to an inner disciple, but Zhang Wu Lei felt that he was being excluded by people inside and outside Jianfeng. There was also the incident with Zhang Wu Lin before, and the matter of sending a message to Shangguan Heng later.
Wu Xiang's words clearly showed that he no longer wanted him as his disciple.
Even if he was forced to stay at Jianfeng, he would probably be demoted to an inner disciple. After weighing the pros and cons, he knelt on the ground.
Clasping his fists, he said, "Master, I am willing. I also feel that Changheng Mountain is more suitable for me. Changheng Immortal Venerable has a thunder spiritual root, and most of the thunder-attributed exercises are also found in Changheng Mountain. My spiritual root is a perfect match."
"Since you are willing, you will be a disciple of Chang Heng Mountain from today on."
Gu Yanhuai was too lazy to listen to what Zhang Wu Lei said. He waved his hand and handed Zhang Wu Lei to Shangguan Heng.
If it were the previous Shangguan Heng, he would probably just walk away and refuse to accept it no matter what. However, Shangguan Heng, who already knew that Gu Yanhuai's real strength was higher than his, was not so confident when facing Gu Yanhuai.
In addition, he has five disciples. Zhang Wulin is useless, and it is unknown when the new Leng Yueyao will grow up. Changheng Mountain also needs fresh blood. Even though he is not very satisfied with Zhang Wulei, he finally accepted this disciple with a pinch of his nose.
Then he glanced at Leng Zhuxin and the others standing below, "The matter in Snow Mist City can be big or small, but in my opinion, they should at least be punished in the Frost Ice Prison for six months. If they are not severely punished, they will develop sympathy for those pitiful demon cultivators or evil cultivators in the future, which will damage the reputation of our Qingxuan Sect."
Shangguan Heng didn't want to let this matter go lightly.
But at this moment, Zheng Jie suddenly said, "Sending them to the Frost Prison for punishment is a bit too harsh. They have already informed me of the events in Snow Mist City. Lu Wu indeed deserves to die.
Back then, our Qingxuan Sect did have some problems in handling the Xuewu City incident, which indirectly led to what happened in Xuewu City later.
These disciples are helping the sect clean up this time, so there's really no need to be overly harsh on them. Just follow what Senior Brother Wu said and fine each of them 500 Contribution Points, and Tang Xiuhe 1,000 Contribution Points."
