Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

Seeing Lin Yaoxie's determination, Ouyang Shaogong knelt down as well and said, "If we're going to kneel, let's all kneel together. Anyway, we're both responsible for this, so we'll all be punished together. I'm not afraid at all."

373 Lin Yaoxie looked at Ouyang Shaogong and thought to himself that he had really made this friend in vain.

Lin Yaoxie felt very gratified. The two of them knelt there for a while, but Hongyu still did not come out.

Four hours passed quickly.

The disciples of Tianyong City have all finished practicing their swordsmanship.

Ling Yue then prepared to go find Lin Yaoxie, but when he arrived at Lin Yaoxie's room, he did not find him there.

After some inquiries, Ling Yue learned that Lin Yaoxie had gone to Sister Hongyu's side.

So Ling Yue went to Hong Yu's side.

When he arrived, he saw Lin Yaoxie and Ouyang Shaogong kneeling there.

He was a little confused.

Then he walked up to the two of them.

"What are you doing? What did you two do wrong? Why are you kneeling here?"

Lin Yaoxie looked at Ling Yue.

"Senior brother, what brings you here?"

Chapter 106 Punishment

Lin Yaoxie had no intention of hiding it from Senior Brother Ling Yue.

Anyway, this matter has already caused quite a stir, and Ling Yue will find out sooner or later.

So Lin Yaoxie said, "Feng Qingxue and Fuqu stole Elder Zhijian's alchemy furnace, so I've come here to plead for them." Ling Yue was also full of surprise after hearing this.

He said, "Those two must have eaten a leopard's gall, how dare they steal from Elder Swordholder." Lin Yaoxie said, "This is all my fault. If it weren't for me, they wouldn't have stolen the alchemy furnace." Ling Yue shook his head helplessly.

Then he said, "Nonsense! You're all being ridiculous! Why didn't you discuss such a big thing with me beforehand? If you had discussed it with me beforehand, I definitely..."

They would stop you then, and this wouldn't have happened.

After Ling Yue finished speaking, he walked into the house. He had to go and ask Hong Yu for help himself.

After all, this matter has become too big a fuss.

Hongyu recognized the visitor as Ling Yue.

Then he said, "Ling Yue, what? Are you going to join them in this mess?"

Ling Yue replied, "Of course not. I will punish these troublemakers properly later. But then again, they didn't mean it. This is their first offense, and the alchemy furnace has been returned intact. I think we should let it go and not tell our masters, lest they worry and cause chaos in Tianyong City."

Hearing this, Hongyu realized that Ling Yue was clearly siding with Feng Qingxue and her group.

Then Hongyu said, "Lingyue, you weren't like this before. Weren't you a person who could distinguish right from wrong? Why are you taking their side now?"

“Since you said I’m a person who can distinguish right from wrong, I still have some sense of right and wrong in this matter. I think we really can’t blame them for this. And think about it, do you really have the heart to watch Lin Yaoxie die? If he dies, we won’t be able to explain ourselves. When Master comes back, he will definitely say why we didn’t borrow the alchemy furnace sooner.”

Hongyu found some truth in what they were saying, but the outcome was already predetermined.

So Hongyu shook her head and said, "I have never hidden anything from Master Zhijian. I would never hide anything from him for the sake of you people. If Elder Zhijian finds out that I have hidden anything from him, he will be very unhappy."

Ling Yue said, "If? There aren't that many possibilities. If we don't tell them, they'll never know."

But Hongyu was adamant; she insisted on telling me the real person.

Ling Yue couldn't persuade him otherwise, so he had no choice but to go outside as well.

Ling Yue came to Lin Yaoxie's side and said, "Hey, don't kneel anymore. I just talked to Hongyu and she won't help us no matter what. Even if you kneel here and break your legs, it won't help. Get up."

As Ling Yue spoke, he helped Lin Yaoxie up from the ground.

Lin Yaoxie was quite helpless.

Then the three of them left.

Several more days passed, and on this day, Master Ziyin and Elder Zhijian returned from their cultivation outside.

When she returned in the morning, Hongyu hesitated for a moment, but still told Elder Zhijian everything.

The Sword-wielding Elder was somewhat angry after hearing this, but there was a reason for it.

After thinking for a moment, he called everyone else over.

And so, the group knelt in the hall.

Then Master Ziyin, Master Zhijian, and Master Zhang, the three great masters, stood there watching them.

Then, Master Ziyin said angrily, "How could you steal Master Zhijian's alchemy furnace? Do you know how important that alchemy furnace is? You have no sense of rules at all. You will have to be punished properly later."

Feng Qingxue was unconvinced. She said, "Master, no matter how important that alchemy furnace is, it's not as important as Lin Yaoxie's life. We're worried about Senior Brother Yaoxie's life, yet you won't even lend us this alchemy furnace. Isn't that too heartless?"

Lin Yaoxie tugged at Feng Qingxue's sleeve, then gestured for her (Hao Zhao Hao) to stop talking.

"Qingxue, stop talking."

It was obvious that Master Ziyin was speaking up for Elder Zhijian, so Feng Qingxue stopped talking.

The three immortals discussed it for a while, and then Immortal Ziyin said, "Feng Qingxue and Fuqu, you two will go to the nearby temple to clean for a month. You are not allowed to come out without my permission."

Then, he looked at Lin Yaoxie.

“Lin Yaoxie, I’m only letting you off the hook for now because you were poisoned by demons and have just recovered, so you’re still weak and have the evil energy of the Burning Sword within you. But I will punish you again once you’re feeling better,” said Master Ziyin.

Chapter 107 Punishment

After his initial surprise, Lin Yaoxie immediately said, "This can't be entirely their fault. If you insist on punishing someone, then punish me alone."

Lin Yaoxie took all the responsibility upon himself.

"Punish them however you want, but please don't punish them, they're all innocent," Lin Yaoxie said anxiously.

Master Ziyin sneered.

Then he said, "You're really a loyal and righteous guy. I'm going to do something to them today."

Master Ziyin was very angry.

Feng Qingxue quickly replied, "I will listen to Master."

Feng Qingxue knew that their resistance would only make Master Ziyin angrier.

Seeing this, Lin Yaoxie shut his mouth.

Feng Qingxue and Fuqu went outside.

They went to a nearby temple and started cleaning.

This place is rather dilapidated.

There are only these two people working here, which is incredibly tiring.

The news of their punishment quickly spread throughout Tianyong City, causing widespread sighs of regret.

Lin Yaoxie's heart was never at peace.

Because he felt that he was the one who caused Feng Qingxue and Fuqu's troubles.

Lin Yaoxie thought he would wait until Ziyin Zhenren was in a better mood before begging for mercy.

Perhaps at that time, Master Ziyin will agree.

Several more days passed.

Lin Yaoxie practiced his sword alone, and after he finished, he prepared to return to his room.

While he was on the road, someone suddenly called out to him.

"Lin Yaoxie, you stop right there."

Ling Duan walked over with a group of people, and Lin Yaoxie recognized Ling Duan's voice.

Because Ling Duan's voice was like that of a demon.

Lin Yaoxie looked at them, puzzled.

Lin Yaoxie (aefe) guessed that they were causing trouble again.

He didn't intend to pay attention to those people, but they surrounded Lin Yaoxie.

Lin Yaoxie had no choice but to stop and look at them.

"Ling Duan, what exactly do you want? Don't push your luck." Lin Yaoxie said coldly in apology.

Ling Duan sneered and said, "What do I want to do? What do you think I want to do? You caused Junior Sister Fuqu to be punished, so why are you left unscathed? That's so unfair, you know? Since True Master Ziyin is unwilling to teach you a lesson, I'll teach you a lesson on their behalf."

Ling Duan said, then winked at the disciple beside him.

Lin Yaoxie said, "What does this have to do with you? It's our business, what does it have to do with you?"

“What matters to Junior Sister Fuqu is my business. What does it have to do with me?” Ling Duan said angrily.

After receiving Ling Duan's instructions, the surrounding disciples attacked Lin Yaoxie.

Lin Yaoxie was already angry, and now that Ling Duan had provoked him, his anger intensified.

Suddenly, his eyes turned red, and he picked up the sword from his back.

A powerful force emanated from Lin Yaoxie, and Ling Duan was thrown to the ground. He stared at Lin Yaoxie with a look of horror.

This time, Ling Duan completely enraged Lin Yaoxie.

Lin Yaoxie walked towards Lingduan with red eyes.

Ling Duan was terrified that he would be killed by Lin Yaoxie.

The other disciples around him had long since disappeared.

Lin Yaoxie gripped his sword tightly. Finally, Lin Yaoxie came to his senses. He stopped and looked coldly at Ling Duan.

"I advise you not to cause trouble. If I lose control next time, you might lose your head," Lin Yaoxie said coldly.

I didn't hold it against you before, but you've taken advantage of my kindness. If you continue like this, don't blame me for being ruthless.

After Lin Yaoxie finished speaking, he walked out.

This time, Ling Duan did not catch up with Lin Yaoxie.

Because he didn't have the courage; he was genuinely afraid.
