"What's so good about superficial things? I want to hear the truth." Yun Qixi said slowly and took another sip of tea. "If you lie to me again, I will punish you to go to the vegetable garden for a year and cancel the sect competition and ten martial arts performances." Qualifications."
Yun Qixi's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, staring closely at Qianqiu.
Qianqiu felt a little guilty, but looking at the beautiful Yun Qixi, he couldn't be afraid. He thought again and again and said: "I just finished watching the competition, and then I happened to have some conflicts with Buyu. She got angry and ran away to Tianyu. , I am going to look for her." Qianqiu removed the reason from Zeng Qiqi's part.
Upon hearing this, Yun Qixi's face changed slightly and asked, "What happened to you and Buyu?"
"Maybe I said something that was not quite right and made her angry." Qianqiu said honestly.
"What did you say to make her angry?" Yun Qixi's tone began to become a little unnatural again.
"Well, Master Yun, I think you're not too interested, right?" Qianqiu gave up.
Yun Qixi immediately changed his mind and said, "Then tell me why you risked your life and went back again after you were clearly out of danger."
"I wanted to contract the Tianyu Snow Sculpture, so I went back." Qianqiu confessed honestly.
"Absurd! Qianqiu, you are too reckless. You are only a junior magician. You actually want to contract a fifth-level spiritual beast, a snow sculpture in the sky? Don't you know that a cross-level contract will cause your body to explode and die?" Yun Qixi heard this, He lectured extremely angrily.
Qianqiu hurriedly lowered his head and said yes.
"What happened after you returned to Tianyu?" Yun Qixi sat by herself to relax for a while, then asked again.
Qianqiu said: "I didn't find the Rotten Bone Demon and the Heavenly Snow Sculpture. Just when I was about to leave, I met another monster and fought for a long time before escaping back. That's why I have so many monsters on my body. scars."
"Okay, okay, I'll give you this bottle of medicine. Go back and recuperate. After your injury is healed, go to the Discipline Hall to receive your punishment." Yun Qixi had no choice but to do anything to Qianqiu, so she picked up the bottle of medicine next to her and threw it to Qianqiu. .
Qianqiu took the medicine. He was very happy after hearing the first half of the sentence, but his mood suddenly dropped when he heard the second half.
"Master Yun, am I also forced to face the wall and think about my mistakes?" Qianqiu asked cautiously.
Yun Qixi glared at Qianqiu and said with a smile: "You have a pretty good idea."
【Oriental School·Discipline Hall】
Three days later.
Zhu Meng looked at Qianqiu standing in front of the table, smacked his lips, looked at Qianqiu expressionlessly, and spoke after a long while: "What? Qianqiu, are you taking my Discipline Hall as your master? How long has it been since then, and here we are again. Is it enough to receive the punishment from the Discipline Hall? This time, I am familiar with the way and came by myself, no one else needs to take care of me."
Qianqiu smiled sheepishly and said, "Senior brother, please don't make fun of me."
"Which master's room did you destroy this time? Or did you destroy some holy place in the sect?" Zhu Meng grabbed a handful of melon seeds and asked enthusiastically.
Qianqiu smiled and said: "Senior brother is just joking, it's not true."
"What is that?" Zhu Meng asked with interest.
"I went out privately, then ran to the Tianyu, had a fight with the Rotten Bone Demon and the Tianyu Snow Eagle, finally escaped, and then ran back to watch the fun." Qianqiu said with a frown.
"Pfft!" Zhu Meng spat out a mouthful of the tea he just drank.
He hurriedly cleaned up and said in surprise: "You don't want your life? You don't know what these two things are? Are you running back?"
"Senior Brother Zhu Meng, I just want to make a contract just because I want it to be possible." Qianqiu said with a smile.
Zhu Mengpi looked at Qianqiu with a dead smile and said, "I thought you were quite smart before, but I didn't expect you to be a fool."
Qianqiu lowered his head and remained silent.
Zhu Meng looked at Qianqiu's appearance, flipped through a pamphlet at hand, and said: "There are people in the back mountain vegetable garden, and there are people in the weapons shop... Let's do it, Qianqiu, this is a one-time trip. I don’t want to delay your training with Master Yun.”
Qianqiu was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhumeng, for understanding Qianqiu's small and frail body."
"Don't think about thanking me yet. My punishment for you is to carry a thousand buckets of water to the water tank in the dining room within three days." Zhu Meng looked at Qianqiu and said with a smile.
Qianqiu thought: "It's not a big deal." Just as he was about to agree, Zhu Meng continued.
"Don't be complacent yet, I have conditions. The water must be spring water at the foot of the mountain. You cannot use spells or spirit beasts. You can only carry buckets up the mountain by yourself." Zhu Meng said.
When Qianqiu heard this, he was shocked and said, "Senior brother! Do you want me to die on the mountain road?"
Zhu Meng shook his head and said: "I just want you to remember a little longer and stop breaking the rules. Okay, if you agree, let's start. If you don't agree, go to the woodshed and chop firewood for a month."
Upon hearing this, Qianqiu could only nod.
He was carrying two wooden barrels, and just as he stepped out of the door of the Discipline Hall, Zhu Meng's voice came from behind: "Junior brother Qianqiu, I will find someone to supervise you, one thousand barrels, one barrel can't be more, one barrel No less. Inspection at noon three days later.”
"I know!" Qianqiu replied weakly.
Qianqiu came to the dining room honestly carrying two wooden buckets.
He looked at the hundreds of water tanks placed in the courtyard in front of him, and he immediately felt stupid.
"What's going on? Where did there come from so many water tanks in the dining room." Qianqiu looked at the hundreds of water tanks in front of him and couldn't help but ask himself.
At this moment, a voice came from behind: "Little brother, are you here to carry water?"
Qianqiu hurriedly looked back and saw an old man with gray hair standing behind him.
"Ah? Yes, I'll carry the water. Senior, I don't know which senior of our Oriental sect you are. I don't think I've seen you before." Qianqiu asked politely.
The old man stooped and coughed and said: "Old man is not a senior. He is just a shepherd who looks after the sheep behind the mountain. Thanks to the love of the master, he is left on the mountain. In fact, he usually does not come to the dining room, but only when he needs water. Sometimes, I also come to the dining room to take care of the water."
"Senior, my name is Qianqiu, and I am a new disciple of Yanyu Hall. I wonder what you call me, senior?" Qianqiu asked seriously as he was always polite to the old man.
"Are you from Yanyu Hall? That little brother Qianqiu has a bright future. I have forgotten my last name and my name. If you, little brother, are so interested, please call me Lao Xuan." The old man said with a smile. said.
His smile was very kind, and Qianqiu felt very comfortable seeing it.
"Senior Lao Xuan, I'm here to carry water. But I don't know when there were so many water tanks in the dining hall." Qianqiu touched his head and said awkwardly, "I want to carry a thousand buckets of water... ..”
"Were you punished by the Discipline Hall?" Lao Xuan asked.
"Yes." Qianqiu smiled sheepishly.
Lao Xuan waved his hand and said: "Don't be sorry. Young people are young and energetic, and there will always be situations like this. The reason why there are so many water tanks is because the sect is about to hold a sect competition, and the water consumption will be reduced then. There has been a huge increase, so these water tanks are used to store water.”
Qianqiu nodded and said, "That's it."
Lao Xuan slowly walked towards the woodshed in the dining hall.
Qianqiu looked at Lao Xuan walking, stepped forward to give him a hand, and asked: "Senior, since you are herding sheep behind the mountain, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to get some firewood. It's windy at night recently. Even though it's summer, it's still quite cold." Lao Xuan said cheerfully.
Qian Qiuxin said: "It's not easy for this old Xuan, so I'll help him."
He then stepped forward and said: "Senior, my name is Qianqiu. I will help you get the firewood. You sit down and rest for a while."
"No, no, no, Qianqiu, you still have to carry water, how can I delay your time? I can just get it myself." Lao Xuan politely refused.
Qianqiu watched Lao Xuan walk into the firewood shed and come out with a few bundles of firewood.
He couldn't bear to look at the elderly Lao Xuan, whose skin was as rough as old tree bark and still limping when he walked.
Qianqiu stepped forward again and said: "Senior, I can carry water for about an hour and a half. I have good physical strength. Besides, the sheep grazing place is not far from here. It won't be a problem if I help you get it a few times."
He directly grabbed the firewood from Lao Xuan's hand, holding the firewood in one hand and supporting Lao Xuan with the other.
Lao Xuan said cheerfully: "Then I'll trouble you, Qianqiu."
"It's not in the way, it's not in the way." Qianqiu said politely.
