Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 6 The Immortal Cultivation World has its own Director of Education

"I said he did it!" Zhao Dazui, who had tied the blue ox to a tree by the roadside, ran up and pounced on the young man before he could even catch his breath.

The young man held the broom across his body and shouted, "Zhao Dazui! Stop! Master Han is back!"

Zhao Dazui braked suddenly and almost fell flat on his face.

Using Lin Yinghao's shoulder to regain his footing, Zhao Dazui, realizing he had been tricked, pointed at the young man's nose and said viciously, "Wait until Immortal Master Han comes back! You'll have something to worry about!"

"You destroyed sect property and nearly injured a new disciple," Zhao Dazui said with a sarcastic expression. "And there's this icy path at the sect gate. Master Han will punish you for all your crimes. Just wait until you kneel down at the sect competition!"

Hu Lai casually lifted the broom onto his shoulder, with both hands hanging on the broom handle.

"I just want to clear the fallen snow off the eaves! If we don't clean it up, it will sooner or later cause the dilapidated Bailu Pavilion to collapse."

"Are you Qingxue? How can you make such a big scene?" Zhao Dazui gathered six new disciples. The children had just come to their senses, but Mi Chong was still sobbing there, looking pitiful.

Hu Lai chuckled and shook his wrist. "I thought it wouldn't be much fun to just recite the sweeping spell, so I made a small change. Who knew it would turn into a water dragon? I was really surprised!"

Zhao Dazui snorted coldly and waved his hand to signal Wei Xi and others to follow him.

But Hu Lai grabbed Zhao Dazui's sleeve and said, "Good Junior Brother, please help me. I need to find a way to get rid of this ice." He rolled his eyes and said, "I will fix the pot for you without charging a single spirit stone."

"You still have the nerve to mention this to me!" Zhao Dazui looked incredulous and pulled out his sleeves with a "swish".

"You turned the Tinggu Pot I begged and pleaded for into a popcorn maker. The Chicken Bone Vine I spent three years saving up spirit stones to buy is now broken because of this. If you can't fix it during the next sect competition, I'll use your head as a cauldron!"

"Then you can't let Master Han really punish me!" Hu Lai looked as if the sky had fallen.

Zhao Dazui felt more and more disgusted as he watched, and dragged the crying rice bug, whose legs were weak, into the sect.

"Xiao Linzi, you are not going to abandon your senior brother too, are you?" Hu Lai placed his hope on Lin Yinghao again.

Lin Yinghao rolled his eyes and said, "It's none of my business!" After saying these four words, Lin Yinghao picked up his sword and was about to leave.

On a snowy day, Hu Lai stood at the messy sect gate, with a sad face, shouting: "If I am punished to death, you will have no place to cry!"

"What punishment do you deserve?" Hu Lai's hair stood on end when he heard the voice. He closed his eyes and forced a regretful expression before turning around.

Behind Hu Lai stood a middle-aged woman with her hair tied up and a dustpan in her hand. She had a serious face, a straight mouth that looked as if she could never smile, and her hair was gray.

The strangest thing was that her eyes had only whites: on the white of her left eye there was a fish wagging its tail, and on the white of her right eye there was a crow with a worm in its mouth. Now these eyes were fixed on Hu Lai, who looked like a caterpillar in the crow's mouth.

Hu Lai, Lin Yinghao, and Zhao Dazui, who hadn't walked far away, all bowed to her and said, "Disciple greets Immortal Master Han."

Immortal Master Han raised his hand, and Zhao Dazui and Lin Yinghao stood up and stood aside with their heads down.

The three lights and one bug followed suit, not daring to utter a single breath, and stood in a row close to Zhao Dazui's thighs. Qin Feng also took a single glance, then stood aside obediently with his head lowered.

Wei Xi, on the other hand, was not afraid at all. He tilted his neck and stared at Master Han.

"Hu Lai, have you cleaned the snow on the eaves?" Master Han asked Hu Lai in a cold voice, as if he didn't feel Wei Xi's gaze.

Hu Lai is just playing around, it doesn't mean he is stupid.

He dropped to his knees, letting the broom hit his back. "I've already cleaned it up! I was naughty and misremembered the spell, which led to my loss of composure and the destruction of the gate... I'm willing to go to Weishuang Palace to accept my punishment."

After hearing this, Master Han didn't say anything good or bad.

Qin Feng tried to remind Wei Xi to stop staring at Han Xianshi by pulling her sleeve. Unfortunately, Wei Xi was still watching the show, his head not lowered at all, his eyes fixed.

"Master," Lin Yinghao bowed as a disciple, "Hu Lai's mistake was unintentional. Now that he has admitted his fault, I hope you will teach me!"

Master Han turned towards where Lin Yinghao was.

The fish in her left eye could swim, and now it had swum behind her eyeball. She just stared at Lin Yinghao with the white of her eye.

"How do you think this misbehaving disciple should be punished?"

"Disciple thinks it would be better to have him clear the ice on the mountain road, repair the gate, and copy the sect rules ten times and send them to Weishuang Palace. What do you think, Master Han?" Lin Yinghao's voice was low, perhaps because he didn't like to talk normally, so he spoke these few words slowly.

Hu Lai was still kneeling in the snow, and Master Han had no intention of asking him to get up. She suddenly turned to Wei Xi who was still staring at her.

"Wei Xi, a new disciple?" Immortal Master Han asked with a tone of certainty.

Zhao Dazui's mind was full of three bags of beef jerky. He stopped Qin Feng who was about to reply and stood up trembling.

"Master, Wei Xi is our newly recruited disciple. She is young and mute, so please forgive me if I have offended you!"

When Wei Xi heard this, he pointed to his mouth and shook his head, indicating whether Zhao Dazui was lying.

Han Xianshi seemed to have lost interest and turned to Hu Lai and asked, "Did you clear the ice on this mountain road?"

Hu Lai, kneeling on the ground, felt a sharp pain in his back from being hit by the broom, but his face was now red as if it were on fire, and his breath lingered around his face. "No."

The answer was almost silent, but everyone could hear it.

Lin Yinghao knew something was wrong, and before he could say anything, he heard the cold voice of Master Han.

"The Sect Master will be back soon. The disciples who have been here for five years have too little magical power to clear the ice. The five new recruits are all extremely untalented, and one is even mute."

Immortal Master Han waved his hand, and the ice dozens of feet behind him turned into a raging fire, illuminating the different expressions on everyone's faces.

"There's also a disciple that another sect doesn't want. The future of Qingcheng Sect is becoming more and more promising."

Qin Feng's expression was even uglier than Hu Lai's, who was kneeling on the ground. Wei Xi sensed her embarrassment and reached out to touch Qin Feng's back, but the latter seemed to feel nothing, lowering his head and saying nothing.

"Hu Lai, you acted recklessly, destroying the sect's property, nearly injuring a fellow disciple, and damaging the Qingcheng Sect's image." The fish in Han Xianshi's left eye revealed a mouth. "Do you admit your mistake?"

"I know I'm wrong! I'm willing to accept the punishment."

"Even if you admit your mistakes and accept them, you must be punished. For multiple crimes, you will kneel in front of the Frost Palace for three days. And you will take care of the two turtles in Xiaoyao Stream in the back mountain until the beginning of spring."

After Han Xianshi finished speaking, he grabbed the green ox that refused to go up through the air. Zhao Dazui took the reins, Hu Lai accepted the punishment, and everyone walked obediently into the mountain gate.
