Chapter 41 (Part 2)

Not only did he have many sword talismans of different realms on him, he also had quite a few protective talismans of different grades.

There was no helping it. Who made him the Taizhen Immortal Sect’s group favorite?

From his martial uncle above to his martial nephews below, every one of them had armed him from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.

“Wuyin, you’ve gotten me killed.”

Wushuang collapsed on the ground. Going to Reflection Cliff was already a very severe punishment, but now, dragged down by her, the two of them would both go to the Heart-Tempering Cave. There was no spiritual energy there. If cultivators stayed inside for a long time, their bodies would unconsciously shed spiritual energy. If they could not absorb spiritual energy for a long time, their cultivation would decline.

If this Little Martial Uncle were a little more ruthless and made them stay in the Heart-Tempering Cave for a hundred years, even Golden Core cultivators would eventually lose spiritual energy and become ordinary people, then age and die.

The Heart-Tempering Cave was the place disciples feared most. It was the forbidden ground used to punish sect criminals.

Most of the disciples punished by being sent to the Heart-Tempering Cave died there.

Reflection Cliff was different. Although life up there was also rather difficult, with spiritual energy present, one would not lose spiritual energy. As long as one could endure the astral winds on Reflection Cliff, one’s cultivation would improve after coming out.

The treatment in the two places was as different as heaven and earth. If they could choose, everyone would rather go to Reflection Cliff and be injured by astral winds every day than go to the Heart-Tempering Cave and lose spiritual energy.

Although he did not understand this Little Martial Uncle who had suddenly appeared, even the Law Enforcement Hall disciples treated him with utmost respect. That showed that the other party’s background was not small.

He had just returned from training outside. Because he had entered Golden Core, he had been full of pride, and seeing that he was about to be accepted by the elders as a personal disciple, greed had arisen in him after he saw the spirit sword beneath Yu Yu’s feet.

He had treated him as an orphan without backing and felt his success was guaranteed. He had never considered that a child who looked only five years old being able to fly on a sword already violated common sense. Add to that the spirit sword he carried—was that something an ordinary disciple could possess?

His pride from breaking through to Golden Core before the age of one hundred had caused his brain to go on strike as well, making him unable to see the incongruity on Yu Yu.

And so, see? He had gotten into trouble.

“Brother Wushuang…”

When the Law Enforcement Hall disciple appeared and tried to block her palm technique for Yu Yu, Wuyin realized something was wrong. But at that point, she could no longer withdraw the force of her palm. She could only watch helplessly as her Absolute Sound Palm landed on the other party’s protective barrier.

At the same time, the thought in her mind synchronized with what Wushuang had just thought.

Finished.

Before her mind could think of a way to get out of this, she heard Wushuang say she had gotten him killed. Her heart instantly felt as if it had been cut by a knife.

If she had not seen him being bullied, why would she have attacked someone inside the sect? In the end, the other party’s identity was extraordinary. In the past, relying on her grandfather being a Soul Transformation elder of the sect, she had hit and scolded fellow disciples whenever she wanted.

Although the Law Enforcement Hall disciples would punish her afterward, out of consideration for her grandfather, it always ended with nothing more than paying some spirit stones. One could say she was arrogant to the extreme.

But today, even if her grandfather personally came forward, it would be useless.

She and Wushuang had gone out together for training. After returning to the sect, she first went to visit her grandfather, who was an elder. She had just come over when she saw the scene of Wushuang kneeling before Yu Yu, which was why she could not help attacking him.

With this one attack, not only was she finished, even the elder grandfather behind her would not have a good time.

Boohoo. Even Grandfather could not protect her now.

“You will enforce the law impartially, right?”

Yu Yu did not even look at the two people kneeling in front of him. Instead, he spoke to the Law Enforcement Hall disciples.

“Yes. Little Martial Uncle, please rest assured. The sect master has already reorganized the sect. Those Law Enforcement Hall disciples and elders who previously failed to act, and even aided evildoers, have all been cleaned out.”

Never mind that this person was the sect’s Little Martial Uncle. Even if the other party were only an ordinary disciple, they would not dare show favoritism.

The current Law Enforcement Hall was a department personally controlled by their ancestor Qingsheng. If they dared show favoritism, did they not want to stay in the sect anymore?

With the former sect master as their backer, if they still could not straighten their spines, then the ones going to the Heart-Tempering Cave would become the Law Enforcement disciples.

“Very good. The Law Enforcement Hall is the sect’s law enforcement institution. If even you aided evildoers, the sect would be in danger.”

Yu Yu nodded with satisfaction. The Law Enforcement Hall was where disciples sought justice when they encountered unfair treatment. If even they became corrupt, the sect would not be far from destruction.

Fortunately, during the previous purge, Lingbao had discovered the Law Enforcement Hall’s corruption and quickly invited his own master to come out and temporarily take charge of the Law Enforcement Hall.

Sure enough, once Qingsheng came out, never mind the Law Enforcement Hall, even the elders who had once relied on their status to stir up trouble all quieted down.

This one was a true big shot. Among them, the strongest were only at the Soul Transformation stage. Before a Daoist Lord, they did not dare show the slightest disrespect.

Even the elders seemed to have changed into different people, let alone the inner disciples.

Only the disciples who had been training outside and had not received news from the sect still regarded the Law Enforcement Hall as the same place as before, where they could leave or stay as they pleased.

So when they returned from training and acted as arrogantly as before, did they not crash straight into an iron plate?

After Yu Yu received the answer he wanted, he no longer bothered with the two people kneeling in front of him.

“Little Martial Uncle, if you need anything, you only need to send a menial disciple to say the word. The disciples will personally deliver it to Holy Sun Peak.”

The Hall of Affairs disciple could finally come forward and speak with Yu Yu. Earlier, he had been blocked at the outer edge by the crowd of disciples watching the excitement and had been unable to get in even if he wanted to.

As for why he had not directly teleported? Sorry, he was only a very ordinary disciple. He did not dare get involved in the conflict between inner disciples and Little Martial Uncle.

Yu Yu glanced at him and gently curved the corner of his mouth.

“In the future, anyone who wants me to help will have to take out more than half their wealth. Otherwise, the gate of my Holy Sun Peak isn’t that easy to enter.”

After Yu Yu finished speaking, he left without looking back, leaving behind the stunned Hall of Affairs disciple.

“Bastard. You stupid little punk, you’ve gotten us killed.”

The Hall of Affairs elder came out and slapped him, then gazed at the small figure flying away and sighed.

So it turned out that Little Martial Uncle had always been the Hall of Affairs’ backer. With Little Martial Uncle’s word, never mind inner disciples not daring to put on airs, even personal disciples had to come obediently with their tails tucked between their legs.

If the sect learned that Little Martial Uncle had been slighted by them, and the sect master launched another major purge, they would be finished.

Those formerly arrogant inner disciples had either been locked in confinement and could not come out until their cultivation reached a certain level, or had been expelled from the sect. In any case, their endings had not been good.

Those people had ended up that way merely because of one sentence from Little Martial Uncle.

With Little Martial Uncle as their backer, the inner disciples and even personal disciples who usually came to the Hall of Affairs were extremely polite, afraid that they would go find Little Martial Uncle to complain.

Now look. When Little Martial Uncle encountered danger, this kid hid in the crowd and watched the show. Even though he put on a worried expression, Yu Yu still saw through him.

Yu Yu could understand being afraid of death and not daring to come out to stop it. But when something happened to him, should this person not have first gone to find the elders to resolve the trouble?

Not only had he not gone to find the elders, he had hidden in the crowd and watched the show. Did he think Yu Yu looked especially like an easy mark?

After this incident, Yu Yu also understood that one could not rush forward too eagerly to be a good person. Even if he wanted to help, he could not do things for free.

In any case, he also lacked resources. In the future, if someone wanted his help and did not have spirit stones, they could forget about it.

He could be a good person, but if anyone wanted him to help for free again, Yu Yu absolutely refused.

They all thought he was young, easy to bully, and easy to deceive. In the future, he had to let them know that being young did not mean he was easy to bully.

Anyone who wanted to deceive him would have to pay the price.

So this time, even the Hall of Affairs suffered misfortune along with the others, and no one would sympathize with them.

The Hall of Affairs disciple’s behavior had been seen by many people, and everyone could not help letting out mocking laughter.

Little Martial Uncle had made it clear that he would no longer care about the Hall of Affairs’ business in the future. They would return to their former status of being looked down upon.

Although inner disciples would no longer bully them, everyone’s blatant disdain still made the people of the Hall of Affairs feel very uncomfortable.

They were originally a group of disciples whose talents were not very good. After cultivating to Foundation Establishment, they were unwilling to return to the mortal world to marry and have children, so they found a job in the sect.

The Hall of Affairs was the sect’s logistics office. The monthly allowance for working here was not high, but the advantage lay in safety. Therefore, this place also became the first choice of outer disciples. Every year, they fought until heads were broken over a few quotas.

Even so, the quotas released by the Hall of Affairs were still among the positions outer disciples wanted most.

Yu Yu returned to Holy Sun Peak in a bad mood. He discovered that no matter which world one was in, kind people were bullied.

Although he was small, his seniority had always been there. Even so, someone still dared slight him. One could only say the world was truly strange. Once people grew full of themselves, they sprinted down the road to courting death without stopping.

“Ying, ying.”

The little bear woke up. Sensing that Yu Yu was in a bad mood, it stretched out a small paw and gently patted his arm.

“Yuanyuan, what’s wrong?”

Yu Yu held the little bear cub and asked.

“Are you hungry?”

“Ying, ying.”

No. Put me down.

Yuanyuan jumped out of his arms, and under Yu Yu’s surprised gaze, began to dance.

That was right. Yuanyuan was also an iron-eating beast cub that loved dancing very much. It was using its own way to cheer Yu Yu up.

Of course, no matter how good a bear’s dance was, there were limits. But paired with its charmingly naive and adorable appearance, it instantly made Yu Yu feel so overwhelmed by cuteness that he could not take it.

Whether it looked good was not important. What mattered was how it could be this cute. How could there be a bear this adorable?

He hugged the little bear cub in one motion, stroked its fur smooth, and even took out some spirit fruits to feed it.

“Thank you, Yuanyuan.”

Yu Yu rubbed the little bear cub’s head, and his mood instantly improved.

Sure enough, looking at a national treasure could heal one’s mood.

The giant pandas on Blue Star were ordinary wild beasts, yet they could still be as clever as children. Replaced with iron-eating beasts from an immortal cultivation world, their intelligence would only be higher.

So as soon as Yuanyuan woke up, it noticed that Yu Yu was unhappy and took the initiative to cheer him up.

Yu Yu had not signed a contract with it. Little Yuanyuan had always been a free bear.

However, feelings would not become deeper because of a contract, nor would they grow indifferent because there was no contract.

In Yuanyuan’s heart, Yu Yu was its poop-scooper, and also the milk dad it had found for itself.

Although this milk dad was young, that did not hinder Yuanyuan from thinking so. Because the one raising it was Yu Yu, and the one giving it tasty food and fun things was still its little milk dad.

As long as someone raised it, no matter how old they were, they were its milk dad.

At first, at most, it had merely hugged a thigh and found itself a long-term meal ticket. But as they spent day after day together, its feelings slowly deepened too.

Yu Yu’s pampering of it was something Yuanyuan remembered in its heart.

Milk Dad treated it well, so Yuanyuan also had to treat Milk Dad well. So after clearly sensing that Yu Yu was unhappy, it took the initiative to dance and make Milk Dad happy.
