Chapter 6 Chief He Zhentang

On the second day, An Ruxu called Jiang Lisheng on time to go to morning class together.

Jiang Lisheng yawned and walked out of the room to meet An Ruxu, wiping his eyes with his sleeve, "Morning, Senior Brother An."

An Ruxu also yawned and replied, "Good morning, Junior Sister Jiang."

Both of them looked like they hadn't woken up yet, exactly the same.

Normally, monks should sleep less, or even not sleep at all, but these two are different, which shows that they both need sleep.

An Ruxu took out his sword and began to fly on it, telling Jiang Lisheng, "Junior Sister Jiang, I'll lead the way, you follow me."

Jiang Lisheng also took out the sword he had temporarily received yesterday and nodded.

An Ruxu flew away with a whoosh.

Jiang Lisheng had just drawn her sword when she looked up and the man had disappeared. She was silent for a moment, following the sword energy and chasing after him.

Two figures, very far away.

An Ruxu arrived at the school gate and waited for a long time before he saw Jiang Lisheng arriving on a flying sword. He was puzzled, "Junior Sister Jiang, your flying sword..."

Jiang Lisheng blushed, "I was too playful at first and didn't study hard."

An Ruxu was shocked. "So, your foundation building is..."

"Master helped me get promoted."

An Ruxu: “…”

As expected of being ranked 3,000 on the Hot List, she didn’t even make it to the top.

Even the Qi training disciples were better at flying swords than her. She must have been too playful. If she met a monster, she would probably not run as fast as the monster. No wonder I heard that the leader of Qingxuyu Sect loved his disciple so much that he would not let her go down the mountain to practice even after she had established her foundation. With her current level, she could not practice at all.

With mixed feelings, he took Jiang Lisheng into the school.

When they arrived, there were already hundreds of people sitting inside. The teacher who was teaching had already arrived. Seeing that the two were a little late, his face darkened, "You two are late. Each of you must take ten moves from me."

An Ruxu's face changed. He calculated the time just right, but he didn't expect Jiang Lisheng to be so slow in flying the sword, so he was late.

He turned his head and whispered to Jiang Lisheng, "The chief guest teacher of the Discipline Hall, He Zhentang, is from Tianjian Peak, in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, cold and ruthless, and impartial. You and I are done for. He can cripple us in ten moves."

Jiang Lisheng's face changed when he heard this.

He Zhentang didn't say much to the two of them. He suddenly drew his sword, and a golden light came straight at the two of them. The sword energy covered their heads. Jiang Lisheng waved her sword to block, but the broken sword broke with a "crack" as soon as she came out of her hand. Then she was blown away by the sword energy, and hit the wall with a "bang". She was dizzy with pain and almost fainted.

An Ruxu, who was also in the early stage of foundation building, was much better than Jiang Lisheng. He swung his sword to block five moves of He Zhentang before being blown away and smashed against the wall, immediately spitting out blood.

He Zhentang put away his sword and sneered, "Two pieces of trash."

He didn't even look at the two of them, "Get up and take a seat. If you are late again tomorrow, you will be punished the same way."

Jiang Lisheng struggled to get up from the ground. Seeing that An Ruxu seemed unable to get up due to the beating, she turned around and reached out to help him to two adjacent empty seats. This time they really became the brothers in distress he had mentioned.

An Ruxu's blood was boiling, and it took him a while to recover. He reached out and took out a bottle of pills with trembling hands, poured two pills into his mouth, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with difficulty. He turned his head and saw that Jiang Lisheng had sat properly, sitting quite straight, and seemed unaffected. He asked in surprise: "Junior Sister Jiang, don't you need to take medicine? Or is Mr. He partial to you and didn't hit you too hard?"

Jiang Lisheng whispered, "I'm used to being beaten. Senior Brother An, pay attention in class, or you'll be punished again."

An Ruxu immediately shut up and tried to sit up straight, but his internal organs and brain were buzzing from the sword energy and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

In class, He Zhentang has already started talking about the Kunlun precepts.

Jiang Lisheng was dizzy after reading the thousands of precepts and complained bitterly in her heart. She was done for. Even if she wasn't late tomorrow, would the teacher test her on how to recite the precepts? There were so many, could she recite them all?

Halfway through the class, He Zhentang pointed at someone and said, "Stand up and explain why Kunlun's Hopeless Cliff is the highest punishment in Kunlun."

The young disciple who was pointed at stood up and answered, "Sir, because once the Ten Thousand Year Hopeless Cliff is opened, the disciples who violate the precepts will be locked in and cannot get out for less than ten thousand years, even if the sect master is locked in, it is the same. Less than ten thousand years, you can only go in but not out. It is said that it is connected to the sword tomb, and it is cut by hundreds of thousands of sword blades and sword energy. It is freezing cold. So far, no one has been able to walk out alive."

"Well, good answer, sit down." He Zhentang was very satisfied. He glanced around and warned everyone, "So, listen carefully, learn the Kunlun precepts well, don't get into big trouble one day and be locked up in the Hopeless Cliff for Ten Thousand Years. Don't be like Qingxu's Jiang Lisheng. With all the big mistakes she made, she would have been locked up in Kunlun a long time ago." Jiang Lisheng: "..."

Sir, are you being polite? I am sitting right here, is it appropriate for you to say that?

An Ruxu turned her head to look at Jiang Lisheng and whispered, "Junior sister, is Mr. He particularly cold-blooded and heartless? Look at him, he clearly knows you are sitting here and just beat you up, but he still says this."

Jiang Lisheng whispered back, "Senior Brother An, you are wrong. Mr. He doesn't know me at all." She pointed at herself and said, "I am wearing the uniform of a Kunlun disciple."

An Ruxu slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, that's right." He suddenly stretched out his hand, raised it high, and said loudly, "Sir, the Jiang Lisheng you mentioned, Sister Jiang is right here."

Jiang Lisheng: "..."

Listen to me, Brother An, I thank your whole family!

In an instant, not only He Zhentang looked over, but hundreds of Kunlun disciples in the classroom all looked over.

Jiang Lisheng blushed, feeling that he had never been so embarrassed before. He stood up shamefully and said, "Qingxu Jiang Lisheng, hello, Mr. He, and hello to all my colleagues."

He Zhentang looked at her, "Qingxu Jiang Lisheng? Why did you come to Kunlun?"

Jiang Lisheng was ashamed, "I am here to reform under the order of my master."

"Well, that's right. It's rare for Sect Master Yu to have such awareness, but you were late today. This won't happen again. You should reform yourself and don't do whatever you want like you did in Qingxu. Kunlun is not a place where you can run wild. Do you hear me?"

Jiang Lisheng nodded, "I heard it."

He Zhentang was satisfied and said concisely, "Sit down!"

Jiang Lisheng sat down.

He Zhentang turned his head to face her side, his face cold, "An Ruxu, you've caused quite a lot of trouble. Can you catch and roast the Hu that escaped from the Spiritual Beast Peak? I asked you to come here to learn with the new disciples, not to deal with the latecomers, do you hear me? You are so naughty, you must be taught a lesson."

An Ruxu immediately stood up and said loudly, "I heard you, sir."

"This won't happen again. Sit down." He Zhentang waved his hand.

Sit down as expected.

He Zhentang continued his lecture, and hundreds of disciples turned their eyes away from the two of them.

After class, the teacher left and Jiang Lisheng apologized to An Ruxu first, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother An, I was too slow in flying the sword and caused you to be late and punished."

An Ruxu waved her hand, "It's also my fault. I only considered my own flying sword, not yours. I estimated that the time was not enough. It's not your fault."

Seeing his pale face, Jiang Lisheng asked worriedly, "Is there no class? Can we go back? Senior Brother An, can you still fly the sword?"

An Ruxu shook her head and said weakly, "Mr. He is too cruel. I am afraid I can't do it. Sister Jiang, do you look okay? Can you fly your sword and take someone with you? I am afraid I have to go to the infirmary. I am seriously injured."

Jiang Lisheng nodded, "Yes, but it will be very slow."

An Ruxu breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll leave it to Junior Sister Jiang."

"But I don't have a sword anymore!" Jiang Lisheng looked at the broken sword on the ground. It couldn't be repaired, and she didn't have any materials.

An Ruxu also saw it and was shocked that her sword was destroyed like this, but she was fine. She asked in confusion: "How come your sword can't withstand a blow?"

Jiang Lisheng was helpless, "It's the sword I got from the new disciple, it's not strong!"

An Ruxu nodded, took off his sword and handed it to her, "Use my sword first, let's go to the medical hall first, and then I will accompany you to the sword hall and buy you a sword."

Jiang Lisheng nodded, took An Ruxu's sword, jumped onto the sword first, and motioned An Ruxu to stand behind her.

An Ruxu looked at the sword that was placed very low, was silent for a moment, and stood up.
