At the Cloud Recesses, Wei Wuxian continued his talisman class. Standing at the podium, he said with a beaming expression, "The disciples who went out with us last time were all very capable, putting everything they learned into practice. This time, we'll bring ten disciples with me and Lan Zhan on our night hunt."

When the disciples heard that they could go out night hunting again, they all recommended themselves, their eyes full of anticipation and excitement.

Wei Wuxian then added, "We'll bring two more people this time, Jingyi and Sizhui. You two don't need to sign up, just follow us tomorrow."

After saying that, he selected ten disciples who did not travel with him last time.

As soon as Wei Wuxian left, a disciple murmured, "Jing Xingjun really takes good care of his adopted son. He even brought two more people with him. Jingyi is so talented, but what does Lan Sizhui have?"

When Lan Jingyi heard someone questioning Lan Sizhui, he immediately said, "Where do you put the family rules? You haven't even seen Sizhui's abilities yet and you're already jumping to conclusions. Aren't you afraid of being punished by Mr. Lan?"

Lan Sizhui lowered his head, not wanting to cause trouble, and said to Lan Jingyi, "Okay, Jingyi, what they said is not wrong. I will go and tell Dad myself that I won't go tomorrow."

Lan Jingyi said angrily: "Si Zhui, what have you done wrong? Why don't you go?"

At this time, Lan Qiren passed by the door of the talisman room, heard the noise, and walked in angrily. He saw Lan Jingyi and a disciple arguing, and Lan Sizhui was holding Lan Jingyi.

Lan Qiren scolded, "What are you doing? Noise is prohibited in the Cloud Recesses. What are you arguing about?"

Lan Jingyi stepped forward and bowed to Lan Qiren, saying, "Greetings, Mr. Lan. It was he who criticized Sizhui, so I quarreled with him. I accept the punishment."

Lan Qiren looked at the two of them and asked the disciple, "Is it really as Jingyi said?"

The disciple hesitated for a long time and couldn't say anything.

Lan Qiren understood everything and said, "In that case, you will punish me with thirty slaps of the ruler and copy the family rules a hundred times. Lan Jingyi was punished to copy the family rules a hundred times for arguing with someone. Do you two have any complaints?"

They both answered at the same time: "No complaints."

The disciple was taken away to be punished with a ruler, while Lan Jingyi and Lan Sizhui walked towards their own residence.

Lan Sizhui remained silent throughout the journey, his heart filled with guilt. He felt that he had implicated Lan Jingyi, and if it weren't for him, Lan Jingyi wouldn't have been punished.

When they got inside, Lan Sizhui finally couldn't help but say, "Jingyi, I'm sorry. It's all because of me that you got punished."

Lan Jingyi smiled and said, "Si Zhui, don't say that. We are brothers. Besides, I just can't stand them jumping to conclusions. You are obviously a good person!"

"Si Zhui, let me tell you, the more they act like this, the more you need to perform well and impress them."

Si Zhui was deeply moved by Lan Jingyi and said, "Jingyi, I understand. Thank you."

Lan Jingyi walked to the desk with a bitter face and began to copy the family rules.

Lan Sizhui said, "Jingyi, let me help you copy it!"

Lan Jingyi quickly waved his hands and said, "No, this is the punishment I deserve. You can't help me."

Lan Sizhui watched Lan Jingyi carefully copying the family rules, and secretly made up his mind to work hard to prove himself and not let Lan Jingyi's efforts go to waste.

He began to reflect on himself and felt that he should indeed work harder to let everyone see his strength.

Lan Jingyi did not go to eat because he was copying the family rules, so Lan Sizhui brought food to Lan Jingyi in a lunch box.

Lan Sizhui put the food on the table before going to the desk and saying, "Jingyi, let's eat first."

Lan Jingyi rubbed his sore hands and said, "Sizhui, you brought the food. Thank you."

Lan Jingyi walked to the table, sat down, and picked up his chopsticks, only to find Sizhui standing there. He asked in confusion, "Sizhui, why aren't you eating?"

Si Zhui shook his head, "I'm not hungry, you eat first."

Lan Jingyi put down his chopsticks and walked over to Sizhui. "Are you still upset about what happened today? I told you it's okay. Don't take their words to heart."

Si Zhui forced a smile and said, "Jing Yi, I just feel that I am not strong enough. If I were strong enough, what happened today would not have happened."

Lan Jingyi patted his shoulder and said, "Sizhui, becoming stronger doesn't happen overnight. But we can encourage each other."

Lan Sizhui finally smiled and said, "Okay, we'll supervise each other."

Lan Jingyi quickly called out, "Si Zhui, please sit down and eat. I'm starving."

After the two finished their meal, Lan Sizhui cleared the table while Lan Jingyi continued copying the family rules.

Time passed quickly. Lan Jingyi finished copying the family rules after the hour of Hai, while Lan Sizhui stayed by his side the entire time.
