Chapter 28 Severe Punishment
After An Ruxu was sent to the medical clinic by Zhou Zhenyan, Jiang Lisheng slowly moved back to his own yard.

The energy given by the fruit that entered her stomach was used up during the fight with Zhao Kexin. After walking a few steps, she was covered in sweat. After entering the room, she was extremely tired. She fell headfirst onto the bed and fell asleep instantly.

She slept soundly and had no idea that Zhao Kexin's stabbing of An Ruxu had caused a sensation throughout Kunlun.

Due to the strict disciplines in Kunlun, there are few cases of fellow disciples killing each other throughout the year. Therefore, when Zhao Kexin attacked Jiang Lisheng, she ended up injuring An Ruxu, and the injury was very serious. Such a thing is absolutely not allowed to happen in Kunlun, and the punishment will be severe.

Zhao Kexin's eyes were swollen from crying, but with An Ruxu's photo stone as evidence, she had no way to argue. After all, the image in the photo stone showed exactly what happened.

Because the sect leader Qin Fengxing was in seclusion, and Wei Qinglan was his only direct disciple, and was also recognized by all the elders as the future helmsman of Kunlun after Qin Fengxing, so before Qin Fengxing went into seclusion, the sect leader's order was given to him, and it was natural for him to take charge of the sect affairs temporarily.

This is also why when Jiang Lisheng accidentally broke into the forbidden area, he said lightly, "It's over," and let Qi Baicheng let Jiang Lisheng go.

When a major event like the killing of fellow disciples occurred in the sect, it was natural that it would be reported to him.

So, Zhou Zhenyan, Mo Ruyan and Jin Wangchou argued for a while, but when they couldn't come to a conclusion, Zhou Zhenyan took the two of them and found Wei Qinglan.

After Wei Qinglan looked at the photo stone, his eyes fell on Jin Wangchou, "What did Master Jin say?"

Jin Wangchou naturally wanted to protect his disciple, and immediately said: "Zhao Kexin did have some faults, but the punishment that Junior Brother Zhou mentioned, that she should be whipped a hundred times, is too severe."

Zhou Zhenyan immediately retorted, "Heavy? Senior Sister Jin, Zhao Kexin hurt An Ruxu, and Senior Brother Gu is out now, not in the sect. If he was in the sect and knew that his disciple was stabbed by a sword, only an inch away from injuring the heart meridian, what do you think he would do? He would return the sword to Zhao Kexin, right? You know, An Ruxu has been trained to dare to eat even the Hu Hu, it was Senior Brother Gu who spoiled him. He is as protective of his children as the leader of Qingxu Yu Sect. Now he is not here, if he were here, do you still think this punishment is heavy?"

Jin Wangchou paused.

Zhou Zhenyan added, "Also, you should be thankful that she hurt An Ruxu, not Jiang Lisheng. You saw this, so you can't blame Jiang Lisheng. She took the initiative to pick a fight, accusing Qingxu of practicing demonic magic. Who wouldn't be angry? If this matter was brought to the attention of Master Yu of Qingxu, do you think Master Yu would let it go? We, Kunlun, have been friends with Qingxu for tens of thousands of years. Master Yu sent his disciples to Kunlun to be taught, not to be bullied."

Jin Wangchou couldn't refute for the moment, but still wanted to seek forgiveness for his disciple, "But a hundred lashes is too heavy, Zhao Kexin can't bear it. Besides, the Qishan Secret Realm is about to open. In half a month, all those who have established their foundation and below will set out to try their luck in the Qishan Secret Realm. If she is whipped, she won't be able to go."

Zhou Zhenyan disagreed, "She will indeed be bedridden because she can't bear the whipping, but with you as her master, and her family at the foot of the mountain as a backup, and countless elixirs, she can catch up with the Qishan Secret Realm by lying down for half a month at most. Otherwise, if she can't be severely punished to serve as a warning to others, do you want everyone to follow her? Because of a mere love, she got stuck in a dead end, talked nonsense, and hurt the harmony between the two major sects of Kunlun and Qingxu. Moreover, she ignored the sect's precepts, acted ruthlessly, and killed her fellow disciples. If such evil deeds are not severely punished, how can we convince others?"

Jin Wangchou choked.

Wei Qinglan saw that Jin Wangchou was speechless after being rebuked by Zhou Zhenyan, so he turned his head and asked Mo Ruyan who had been silent the whole time, "What do you think, Uncle Mo?" Mo Ruyan was different from Jin Wangchou. Although they were both women, she was much more cold and rigid than Jin Wangchou who always had a smile on her face. She was in charge of the Deacon Hall and was the most fair and selfless. She said word by word, "I agree with what Junior Brother Zhou said. Although a hundred lashes is heavy, Zhao Kexin's behavior was bad and she deserves a heavy punishment."

Wei Qinglan nodded, then turned to Jin Wangchou, "Uncle Jin, that's it!"

Since he said so, the three of them all agreed to punish him severely. Naturally, Jin Wangchou could no longer continue to argue and defend Zhao Kexin. She could only nod and say, "Listen to Qinglan."

Zhou Zhenyan said, "Zhao Kexin's behavior is terrible. Let's inform the entire sect and let all disciples take it as a warning." He added, "Let Jiang Lisheng and Qingxu see that in Kunlun, the rules are strict. If disciples make mistakes, they should be punished. How can we treat the rules and regulations as a joke!"

Jin Wangchou originally wanted to open his mouth to object, but after hearing the second half of his sentence, he swallowed his objection.

Wei Qinglan nodded, "Just follow what Uncle Zhou said, Uncle Mo will be the steward according to the sect rules."

Mo Ruyan nodded, stood up, and walked out. After taking two steps, she remembered something and stopped again. She said to Zhou Zhenyan and Jin Wangchou, "You go first. I want to talk to Qinglan alone."

Zhou Zhenyan immediately said, "I won't leave, Senior Sister Mo, I also have something to say to Qinglan alone."

"Then go out and line up and wait for me to finish talking." Mo Ruyan waved her hand.

Zhou Zhenyan choked and had to leave.

Jin Wangchou had nothing to say to Wei Qinglan. She wanted to take the opportunity to go back and give Zhao Kexin a Baoyuan Pill. Although she had two disciples, she loved Zhao Kexin the most. After all, she had some old acquaintances with her family down the mountain, so she had to take care of her more. She didn't expect that Zhao Kexin would be obsessed with An Ruxu and have to provoke Jiang Lisheng. Although she was angry, she couldn't ignore her.

The door was closed, and Mo Ruyan set up a barrier to the outside to make sure no one could hear what they were saying. Then she said to Wei Qinglan, "Qinglan, Xuantian Realm has been shaken badly these past few days, and the sect master is in seclusion again. Do you know the reason? I couldn't figure out the divination when I cast the hexagram, and I feel uneasy."

Wei Qinglan nodded, "Master Mo, don't worry. I killed the two demon snakes that escaped from the Demon Suppression Tower and threw their bodies back into the tower. I hung them on the beams as a warning to others. This caused all the demons in the tower to be afraid. Xuantian Realm was hit by the demonic energy, so it was shaking. It will calm down in a few days."

Mo Ruyan heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this, "So that's how it is, that's good."

She removed the barrier and walked out.
