Chapter 19 [019] You violated the rules

[That is Wang Yao, a cannon fodder who targeted the male protagonist in the early stage. He was defeated by the male protagonist in a competition a few years ago and hated being humiliated, so he bullied the male protagonist whenever he had the chance.]

[Is that so?] Chen Xiang heard the system's voice and nodded in understanding.

Wang Yao stepped forward as if wanting to take a closer look, but Zhongli Jin raised his hand slightly and used his sleeve to block the girl's side again, smiling and saying, "Sorry, Brother Wang, my little sister is quite introverted and shy. It's our first meeting, so it's better to keep some distance."

When Shen Xiang heard this, her heart suddenly beat faster.

She looked at Zhongli Jin. The boy was nearly a head and a half taller than her. He was not very strong and sturdy, but he was able to block her behind him.

"..."

Shen Xiang is familiar with this feeling of being protected.

It seemed as if in her memory, someone had used his not-so-strong body to protect her tightly behind him.

Shen Xiang frowned, but couldn't remember it.

For a moment, the girl, who had only deliberately contacted Zhongli Jin for the mission, seemed to be really moved.

[I finally understand why so many women in this book are attracted to the hero Zhong Lijin...] Chen Xiang blushed and said to the system: [He is really gentle and makes people feel safe.]

The system said proudly: [Of course! Zhongli Jin has been voted as the most popular male protagonist in novels on the Internet for three consecutive years. Both male and female readers like him, a real heartthrob! The original author originally wanted to write a popular harem dragon Ao Tianwen, but because of the male protagonist's design, it was really hard to imagine how he would start a harem, so in the end there was only one female protagonist, Shi Xiang; lah! ]

It chose this world because this male protagonist is the easiest to capture, the most loyal, the most kind, the most gentle and elegant. Although he suffered a lot in the early stage and was made difficult everywhere, he never turned evil and kept a pure heart. This kind of male protagonist is simply one in a million in this world of "gloomy and sick dogs, and evil bosses are everywhere"! It is perfect for the capture task!

*
Wang Yao felt impatient as his view was blocked.

Zhongli Jin is now just an insignificant waste in a declining sect. Why does he dare to put on airs in front of him?
The man suddenly drew his sword, and the sharp edge of the sword instantly passed across the boy's cheek!
The sword's edge was so fast that it was hard to see clearly. When he came to his senses, the boy's left cheek was already cut!
Blood immediately flowed out and soaked his collar!
“You—” Shen Xiang was furious when he saw this, “How dare you suddenly attack?!”

“Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it.” Wang Yao narrowed his eyes and smiled apologetically, “I was mistaken. I mistook the crow behind Fellow Daoist Zhongli for a monster. I’m really sorry.”

Chen Xiang retorted without any hesitation: "Your eyesight is so bad, you are blind! Be careful not to get mad at someone and get yourself chopped off! Bastard!!"

Wang Yao heard her scolding and his eyes fell on the girl. He could finally take a closer look at this little beauty in a pink dress. Just one glance seemed to have a strange magic that made him want to hear her scold again. "Beautiful girl, say a few more words for your brother to hear?"

Shen Xiang didn't expect that he actually enjoyed the scolding. She suddenly felt as disgusted as if ants were crawling all over her body!
[Why does the aura of being a hit with the opposite sex come into play at this time?! So annoying! ]

Chen Xiang likes to be noticed and admired, but not everyone is worthy of her love!
"Are you qualified to practice Taoism?!" She showed a look of extreme disgust.

Wang Yao, however, fixed his eyes on Zhong Lijin and sneered contemptuously: "I am not worthy? Does this kind of waste with damaged spiritual roots deserve it? Oh no, it seems that it has been barely repaired."

The man still looked arrogant, looking down on the young man: "But even if it is repaired, it can only be slowly cultivated through the art of alchemy. It will take about a hundred years to form an elixir. It's really pitiful, Zhongli Jin, who was once praised as a genius in the world of cultivation, but now can't even dodge the most basic sword attack. I can't bear to be hostile to a weakling like you."

Shen Xiang's face flushed at those mocking words, and she wanted to speak again, but was blocked by Zhong Lijin's sleeve beside her.

The young man ran his thumb across the cut made by the sword and wiped off some blood. His black pupils stared quietly at Wang Yao and others not far ahead with a calm expression.

The polite smile on his handsome and fair face disappeared. Wang Yao didn't even need to pretend to be nice to him with his sword, so he naturally didn't need to pretend to be nice to him anymore.

“Really? But Fellow Daoist Wang,” Zhongli Jin raised the corners of his lips again, narrowed his eyes, and smiled harmlessly, “You look like you only dare to be hostile to the weak.”

"After all, during the sect-wide disciple competition four years ago, when the twelve-year-old me kicked the twenty-two-year-old you off the competition stage in three moves, you were not as arrogant as you are today. Your face was so pale, as if you were covered with wax."

"!"

Wang Yao was stunned, and anger suddenly surged into his heart!

His eyes turned red because of the boy's extremely mocking smile, and for a moment he thought of the face he lost that day. Even though four years have passed, there are still people who deliberately mock him for the fact that he was defeated by a twelve-year-old boy in just three moves!

"Damn it!" The man rushed forward, sword tightly grasped.

Shen Xiang was startled and wanted to step forward, but found that Zhongli Jin had already pushed her away with a flick of his sleeve, avoiding Wang Yao's attack!
"Sister, don't come over here!" the young man shouted in a deep voice, "He's targeting me, don't hurt you."

Shen Xiang couldn't help but take a few steps back due to inertia, and was more than ten meters away from the young man. "Junior Brother Zhongli!" Shen Xiang said worriedly.

Wang Yao’s attack was fierce, stabbing towards Zhong Lijin!
The young man was still very fast and managed to dodge twice, but the third move was directed at his vital point and he couldn't avoid it no matter what!

A trace of satisfaction flashed across the man's eyes. The rules did not allow killing, but they did not say that people could not suffer physical pain!

Today, he wants to destroy Zhongli Jin.

Cut off his hands and feet!

Let him be a disabled waste forever!
[System!! Quick! Is there any item in the mall that I can help him with? ! ]

[Host! Yes, there is, but you don’t have enough points! ]

Points are easier to use than to earn. I only have ten points left now, but the most basic talisman costs fifteen points.

Chen Xiang was irritated and frantic: [Ahh, I am so annoyed! If Shi Qing hadn't tied me up, I wouldn't have spent extra points to escape from her! That woman! She is really vicious! ! ]

At the critical moment, Shen Xiang seemed to suddenly hear someone calling her current name beside her ear——

"Sanqing Mountain, Shixiang!"

The next second, a beam of light came from the sky!

It was as if a cold sharp blade flashed across the extremely dazzling white light!

In the blink of an eye, amidst the fiery red rocks, the sword with a snow-white and transparent blade appeared between Wang Yao and Zhongli Jin!

The sword reflected Zhongli Jin's eyes, like the purest and most flawless mirror. The young man could clearly see the exquisite patterns on the white sword and his own slightly stunned expression.

Then, the white sword attacked automatically. Although no one was holding its hilt, it seemed to have self-awareness and forced Wang Yao to retreat step by step!

"Who is it?!" Wang Yao asked in surprise.

The force of the white sword was so strong that the man barely managed to take two strikes, but those two strikes made his wrist extremely painful!
He tried to block the third time, but he only heard a "ping" sound!
The sword shattered.

At his feet, only the hilt and half of the blade were left.

Wang Yao's breath caught in his throat and he looked at the debris on the ground in disbelief.

He slowly raised his eyes again, and then he finally saw what was on the hilt of the sword floating in the air.

"Senior Brother Wang!" The other four disciples of Cangyue Mountain did not say anything when the man was looking for trouble with Zhongli Jin, but rushed over when the man's sword broke.

Zhongli Jin's expression froze slightly, and he saw that the jade-like hilt of the sword was actually wrapped with a snow-white bandage.

Following the bandages, the girl in a blue short skirt stood in front of Shen Xiang with an indifferent and cold expression. Her ponytail was swaying slightly in the wind from the sword, and the bandages on her limbs were moving like a snake.

"You are——" Wang Yao and others were stunned.

The girl said coldly: "Sanqing Mountain."

"Shi Qing."

*
Shi Qing had two teleportation talismans. She should have used one to find Cangying, but Cangying and her three other senior brothers and sisters tacitly came to her first, so she saved one.

I didn't expect to use one so soon.

After realizing that Junior Sister had escaped, Shi Qing calculated the time. With Junior Sister's ability, it would take about an incense stick of time to enter the secret realm.

So she waited for an incense stick of time, and then used the teleportation talisman to call out the name of her junior sister.

Sure enough, the talisman worked and teleported her and Cangying to the side of her junior sister.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived, I ran into the disciples of Cangyue Mountain and the conflict between them and my junior sister.

If it was a stop-gap fight for the secret treasure, Shi Qing would definitely not stop it. However, the last sword attack from Cang Yue's disciple was obviously aimed at crippling Zhong Li Jin. According to the rules, Shi Qing had to stop it.

The long sword was like a meteor, and was taken back by the girl along with the bandages.

She stood in front of Wang Yao and the others and said calmly, "You violated the rules."

"You need to be punished."

Zhongli Jin: “…”

do not know why.

Hearing these five words, his thoughts went back to that night more than a month ago when he was tightly wrapped in Shi Qing's bandages.

The bandage only served to bind him, and it was not very painful. However, the bandage strip went up from his ankle along his calf and rubbed against his thigh, which made him feel embarrassed and uncomfortable.

"Punish?" Wang Yao ignored Shi Qing's words and became even more furious: "You suddenly attacked and destroyed my sword! I haven't bothered you yet! You want to punish me?! What gives you the right?!"

Cangying sneered. It was impossible to convince such an unreasonable person with Shi Qing's words.

She stepped forward and said bluntly, "Why? First, the master emphasized before the secret realm was opened that disciples cannot attack each other at will in the secret realm, let alone when there is no chance conflict."

"Second, any fight should be stopped at a certain point! Do not be ruthless, and do not hurt others' lives at will!"

Cangying stared at Wang Yao, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said word by word: "My fellow Daoist from Cangyue Mountain, can I explain it clearly? We will report everything that happened just now to the headmaster after the secret realm is over. The headmaster's Water Moon Mirror can extract tears and review memories. By then, there will be sufficient evidence, and Cangyue Mountain will lose the qualification to enter the Magic Martial Secret Realm. All of you will be sinners of Cangyue Mountain!"

“You——” Wang Yao was not convinced and wanted to rush forward again, but was stopped by his fellow disciple who was worried about losing his qualification: “Wait a minute, Senior Brother Wang! Don’t be impulsive! That’s Cangying from Jinping Peak of Sanqing Mountain! The last disciple of Elder Cangyan, we’d better not offend him!”

"Yes, yes! And there is Shi Qing, I remember now! She is the disciple of the head of the Three Purities. If she really goes to the head of the Three Purities to sue us, it will be difficult for Cang Yue Mountain to have the opportunity to enter the Magic Martial Secret Realm in the future!"

Secret realm qualification is very important.

Being stopped by his fellow disciples was like a small step forward, and Wang Yao finally restrained himself a little.

Shen Xiang also took the opportunity to run behind Shi Qing and Cangying, grabbed the young man's sleeve, looked up and down at Zhongli Jin, and asked anxiously: "Is Junior Brother Zhongli okay?!"

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, junior sister." The young man smiled gently and calmly pulled his sleeve back from the girl's hand.

Seeing this, Wang Yao kicked the broken sword at his feet far away in anger, staring at the two women blocking Zhongli Jin with cold and sinister eyes, and then set his gaze on the boy and girl behind them. He suddenly sneered: "A genius that is rarely seen in the world of cultivation in a thousand years, now has to rely on a group of women for protection."

"What? Are you jealous because no woman wants to be close to you?" Chen Xiang responded on behalf of the boy without any hesitation.

Wang Yao was extremely jealous, but he couldn't take revenge for the time being, so he could only throw his hands away, turn around and say, "Humph! Let's go!"

"..." Zhongli Jin ignored the man's mocking words.

The young man clenched his hands at his sides and stared quietly at the back of the Cang Yue Mountain disciple.

In fact, even if Shi Qing and the others had not come, he would have had a way to deal with it.

[Oh, what a pity! I almost thought I could try out the power of the Thunderbolt Pill today. I am not exaggerating, but the Thunderbolt Pill I refined ten thousand years ago, if thrown on the ground, can instantly blow up the land within a radius of ten miles!]

Zhong Lijin chuckled soothingly and said, "It's okay, Senior. I saved one pill."

The boy relaxed his wrist and put the small black pill in his palm back to his waist.

This matter is probably over.

Zhongli Jin was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, the next second——

"stop."

Zhongli Jin: “…”

The boy looked at Shi Qing, not understanding why she suddenly wanted to stop him.

Wang Yao and the others stopped walking. The man looked back impatiently and said unhappily, "What else are you going to do?!"

Shi Qing stood as straight as a pine or cypress, and said righteously and impartially, "I haven't been punished yet—you are not allowed to leave!"

You want to leave before you've even finished your punishment?! No way!

"If I don't leave, will you punish me?!" Wang Yao didn't believe it.

Cangying stepped forward and said, "Of course! You probably don't know, do you? As a secret realm opened by the Sanqing Mountain Master, the Magic Martial Secret Realm naturally gives us Sanqing disciples the power to supervise and enforce the law! If you don't believe me, wait until the secret realm is over, and then you can go to our master and ask! Of course, you can refuse the punishment, but we will definitely tell the master the truth at that time. If the qualification for the Cangyue Mountain Secret Realm is revoked and you become a sinner of your sect, don't blame us."

Wang Yao choked on a mouthful of blood, but he endured it for the sake of the sect. His narrow eyes were filled with humiliation, and he said angrily in a low voice: "So, what do you want to punish me for?"

Cangying looked at Shiqing.

I saw a snow-white bandage suddenly rushed forward and tied Wang Yao tightly. Shi Qing narrowed his eyes and raised his head proudly: "Secret realm, violation."

——"Slap the palm!"

Zhongli Jin: “…”
