Chapter 16 (2/2)

“That’s true. We’re all cultivators, but you forced us to do such filthy things…”

“Alright, it’s clear now. Disciple Chang Yu instigated his fellow disciples to bully a female disciple in the sect. As a result, another ten years will be added to his prior punishment of staying in this valley! The rest of you followed his command but reported on Chang Yu’s guilt honestly, so all of you will be grounded for three months!” said Old Du.

They all released a sigh of relief, except for Chang Yu, who was crestfallen due to the sudden turn of events.

Old Du measured Yun Shu with his eyes carefully and said, “You’ve made great progress again!”

“All the merits go to the sect!” Yun Shu smiled and answered humbly.

Old Du frowned. “But, can’t you try to maintain a lower profile?”

Yun Shu shrugged. “Senior, I never wanted these troubles. Yet, they keep coming and messing up with me, so I’ve no choice but to fight back, right?”

Old Du had to admit that it was indeed the case.

“Senior… What happened after Zhang Bao’s death?” Yun Shu walked closer to Old Du and asked him in a low voice.

Old Du shook his head. “Boy, you have to keep in mind that everything can be complicated in the sect. And there are things even too far away for me to know or help.”

Yun Shu immediately understood the meaning behind his words: someone in the sect had stopped this from spreading out.

And that person must have a high status in the sect for sure.

“Thank you very much, Senior. I’ll take care of it on my own from now on,” said Yun Shu seriously.

“Boy, don’t overstretch yourself,” Old Du patted Yun Shu’s shoulder and said.

At the same time, he also cast Su Lingwen, who was some distance away, a significant look. Old Du wanted to say something but kept his mouth closed in the end.

“He needs treatment,” said Old Du to Yun Shu and pointed at Chang Yu on the ground. “You really went wild…”

Then Old Du picked up Chang Yu and threw him onto his shoulder violently. Chang Yu groaned, but there was no bitter crying anymore. Instead, Chang Yu’s eyes kept staring at Yun Shu, his mouth clenched shut in defiance.

“You just wait,” said Chang Yu coldly.

Hearing that, a cruel light flashed in Yun Shu’s eyes.

“Senior, be careful; don’t drop him!” Yun Shu smiled and reached out his hand. It looked as if he was just trying to help. However, the moment his palm touched Chang Yu’s body, he transferred a trace amount of Spirit Qi inside.

That stream of Spirit Qi was not harmful by itself, but gradually, it would change the way how Chang Yu’s meridians worked. After recovering, if he were to use his Spirit Qi, he would hurt himself badly again.

When it came to controlling Spirit Qi, Yun Shu was qualified to be called a master!

Seeing Old Du walking away, Yun Shu’s mind was full of thoughts. The Fire Mystic Sect was known for its strict rules and regulations. Yet, Zhang Bao came all the way to the Valley of Crime to kill him using poison.

To add insult to injury, someone in the sect didn’t believe that an insignificant ant like Yun Shu deserved a proper explanation or justice.

Hence, those so-called laws and rules were only strict for the weak!

“All in all, power earns respect,” Yun Shu murmured to himself.

Suddenly, a desire for strength started blazing in his heart in full swing, almost consuming his whole.

Power!

Gaining power could solve all the problems!

At this time, Chang Yu’s men had all crawled close to Yun Shu.

“Boss Yun Shu, please allow us to follow you!” said the several men together in a single voice.
