Immortal Yunxu glanced at Yuwen Haosheng's newly bandaged arm and asked calmly: "Is the injury on your hand still harmful?"
"It's all right." Yuwen Haosheng bowed his hands to Immortal Yunxu and saluted.
"Since the injury on your hand is no longer harmful, please go back first. Rising Sun Palace still has some internal affairs to deal with." Master Yunxu himself did not have a good impression of Yuwen Haosheng and immediately issued an eviction order.
Yuwen Haosheng stood up, not leaving the Rising Sun Palace, but turning around and bowing deeply to the Immortal Yunxu: "Yu Wen Haosheng wants to worship the Immortal as his teacher, so please ask the Immortal to make it happen."
Immortal Yunxu looked him up and down, frowning, unwilling to accept him as a disciple, and said coldly: "I have no intention of accepting him as a disciple, you'd better find another good teacher." Then he walked into the hall with his sleeves rolled up, and said to Lan Sheng said: "Lan Sheng, see you off."
Yuwen Haosheng moved his mouth, but seeing that Master Yunxu was in a bad mood and could no longer insist on becoming a disciple, he had to give up temporarily, and then he was pushed out of the Rising Sun Palace by Lan Sheng. Before leaving, he was still reluctant to leave Lan Sheng. He said that he would come to see her again.
As soon as he sent Yuwen Haosheng to the entrance of the palace, Lan Sheng heard the voice of Yunxu Shangxian scolding Zhuling, and was too lazy to pay attention to him. He quickly closed the palace door and ran back to the main hall.
"What's wrong with you for killing your fellow disciples?" Yunxu Shangxian stared at Zhuling with his eyes filled with alienated anger.
Yuntian's commandments strictly prohibit disciples from harming each other, and will punish them severely if internal strife is discovered. Moreover, Zhuling was cruel to Lan Sheng in front of Elder Quan Yuntian at the Cloud Exploration Conference, and the impact was so bad that some elders on the spot proposed to expel her from the school. The headmaster saw that both Zhuling and Lan Sheng were disciples of the Supreme Immortal Yunxu, and that the Supreme Immortal Yunxu himself was the one to protect them, so he allowed the Supreme Immortal Yunxu to take Zhuling back to the Rising Sun Palace to deal with it himself.
At this time, Zhuling's eyes had returned to clarity. She lowered her head and knelt in front of Immortal Yunxu without making any argument: "I have nothing to say!"
"Why do you do this?" Yunxu Shangxian tightened his sleeves and suppressed his anger.
Zhuling still lowered her head, making no excuses or saying a word. Seeing Zhuling's silence, Lan Sheng was even more anxious than she was. He suddenly recalled that when he was practicing swordplay in the yard a few days ago, Zhuling also swung a sword energy uncontrollably. Lan Sheng guessed that this time must be related to the last time, and hurriedly defended Zhuling: "Master, senior sister, she..."
"I resented Junior Sister Lan Sheng for competing with me for ranking, so I took a heavy blow." Zhuling interrupted Lan Sheng's words, raised her head slightly, and stared at Lan Sheng motionless.
Lan Sheng noticed Zhuling's eyes and knew that she was signaling him not to say anything about losing control of his sword energy, so he suppressed the words that came to his lips.
"Senior sister, I'm worried that if you continue to compete, your injury will be aggravated..." Hearing the word "resentment" from Zhuling for the first time, Lan Sheng felt extremely aggrieved and murmured to himself.
Zhuling did not respond to Lan Sheng and knelt on the ground: "I put Junior Sister Lan Sheng in danger, please master punish me."
"Senior Sister just didn't control her spiritual power well. Please don't blame Senior Sister. Besides, she didn't hurt me." Lan Sheng also knelt down to Master Yunxu. She always believed that this was not Zhuling's original intention.
Lan Sheng's actions made Master Yunxu somewhat unexpected. His eyes flashed, and he stepped forward to pull Lan Sheng up: "That sword was enough to kill you, don't you blame her?"
"Master, senior sister is very nice to me, she definitely didn't mean it." Lan Sheng opened his eyes wide and blinked at the Immortal Yunxu, his tone was extremely firm.
Seeing that Lan Sheng kept pleading for Zhu Ling, Yunxu Shangxian thought about it for a long time and finally did not punish Zhu Ling severely. He asked her to go to the back mountain to copy the Yun Tian commandments five hundred times and meditate on her own mistakes.
In this competition, Lan Sheng was defeated by Zhu Ling. Zhu Ling was disqualified from the competition because she harmed her fellow disciples. Both of them were eliminated. After that, Lan Sheng had no intention of paying attention to the Cloud Exploration Conference anymore.
"Junior Sister Lan Sheng, Junior Sister Lan Sheng." After the cloud exploration conference, Du Ce came to the Rising Sun Palace immediately.
Lan Sheng saw Du Ce's anxious look and understood that he was here for Zhuling, so he told Du Ce the whole story and told him that Zhuling was punished in the back mountain to think about his mistakes.
"Lan Sheng, is there any conflict between you and Junior Sister Zhuling?" Du Ce frowned and couldn't understand why such a thing happened.
"No." Lan Sheng shook his head.
"But Senior Sister seems to have something to hide!" Lan Sheng added immediately.
"What's the unspeakable secret?" Du Ce looked at Lan Sheng, his expression becoming a little confused.
After this incident, Lan Sheng always felt that the last time Zhuling lost control of her sword energy was not simple. Combined with Zhuling's weird behavior for many days after losing control of her sword energy, Lan Sheng felt faintly uneasy. After getting Du Ce's promise to keep it secret, Lan Sheng thought carefully and decided to tell the story about Zhuling's sword energy losing control during sword practice.
After hearing Lan Sheng's speculation that he was possessed, Du Ce immediately rejected it and came out: "Yuntian's techniques have always been both hard and soft, and there should not be situations where he becomes possessed after leaving." After a pause, he continued. : "Even if you really go crazy, Immortal Yunxu can tell it at a glance."
Du Ce thought about it, and it seemed that this was the only way to explain it. However, he did not see anything strange about Bamboo Ling during this period, so he thought he could take another look at Bamboo Ling, so he said, "Can you take me to see it?" See Junior Sister Zhuling?"
Lan Sheng was carrying the food in her hand and was originally going to visit Zhuling. Seeing that Du Ce also wanted to go, she readily agreed.
On the mountain behind the Rising Sun Palace, there is a simple hut with the wooden door ajar, and Zhu Ling is constantly copying Yuntian's commandments in the house. Suddenly, there was a "dong dong dong" knock on the door. Before Zhuling could open the door, the door was pushed open with a "squeak", and Lan Sheng and Du Ce walked in.
"Sister, I'm here to see you." Lan Sheng put the food in his hands on the table.
Zhuling smiled faintly and said "Okay" without stopping the pen in her hand and continued to copy the precepts.
"Junior sister Zhuling, what was the reason for the incident at Broken Sun Cliff?" Du Ce looked Zhuling up and down, and found no evil aura in her body, and she didn't appear to be possessed.
The movement of Zhuling's pen paused for a moment, pretending not to hear, ignored Du Ce, and continued to copy Yuntian's commandments. Even though Lan Sheng was slow, she felt that Du Ce's question was too blunt, so she stepped on him hard and complained: "Senior sister, it was just careless."
Only then did Du Ce realize what he was doing. He shook his head and continued, "Junior sister Zhuling, don't get me wrong. I'm just worried about you."
"I'm fine." Zhuling said calmly, the movements of her hands still not stopping.
"Senior sister, do you have any difficulties? Master is not here now, and there are only three of us here. Can you tell us, and we will solve the difficulties together." Lan Sheng snatched the pen from Zhuling's hand and threw it aside. He lifted her hand and said sincerely.
"Lan Sheng, I don't have any difficulties, nor have I lost my mind. I just want to kill you." Zhuling withdrew her hand and said with a cold expression.
"But..." Lan Sheng wanted to defend, but was interrupted by Zhuling.
"It's nothing." Zhuling looked into Lan Sheng's misty eyes and understood what she was thinking, and continued coldly: "It's not that I was out of control when I practiced swordsmanship that day, it was just that I was soft-hearted when I started."
"Junior sister Zhuling?" Du Ce's eyes widened and he couldn't believe what Zhuling said.
Zhuling ignored Du Ce, picked up the pen on the table, continued to copy Yuntian's commandments, and said expressionlessly: "You guys go back!"
"Senior sister, do you really blame me?" Lan Sheng lowered his hands weakly and murmured.
Zhuling copied the precepts without raising her head. The wooden house was silent, except for the "rustling" sound of the brush on the paper. Lan Sheng still didn't want to believe it, and gently poked Zhuling's shoulder with his index finger: "Senior sister, do you blame me?"
With a "click" sound, Zhuling put down her pen, frowned and stared at Lan Sheng for a long time, shook her head slightly, and her eyes softened a lot.
"You guys go back first." Zhuling stood up and drove Lan Sheng and Du Ce out of the house.
Du Ce was confused and kept knocking on the door, but Zhuling never opened the door again and just asked them to go back first.
"Senior brother, have you noticed anything strange about senior sister?" Lan Sheng asked dully, feeling a little disappointed.
"Looks like he's not in good mental condition. He didn't find anything unusual." After thinking for a while, Du Ce ruled out the possibility of being possessed. However, through the conversation between Lan Sheng and Zhu Ling just now, Du Ce guessed that there were other reasons for Lan Sheng's failure to communicate with him. He said, and then continued to ask: "Lan Sheng, what happened between you two?"
Lan Sheng lowered his eyes and thought for a while: "Senior brother has always admired senior sister. Since senior sister is fine, it is better not to let him know about these emotional debts, so as not to make him sad." Then he gave Du Ce a few perfunctory words.
Seeing that Lan Sheng was unwilling to talk, Du Ce didn't ask any more questions, but kept nagging Lan Sheng in various ways along the way. But Lan Sheng didn't listen to a word. Many questions lingered in his mind, and he seemed worried: "Senior sister, does she blame herself? Is it because of Chang Ling?"
For more than a month after that, Lan Sheng delivered meals to Zhuling every day until she finished copying the precepts five hundred times and returned to the Rising Sun Palace. The conversation in the wooden house was never mentioned again by the three of them, as if it had never happened, but Lan Sheng knew in his heart that there was a growing gap between him and his senior sister. The senior sister looked at him less tenderly, and he did not dare to I am no longer as clingy to my senior sister as before.
During this period of more than a month, Yuwen Haosheng always liked to go to the Rising Sun Palace, and repeatedly begged Master Yunxu to accept him as a disciple, but Master Yunxu had decided not to accept him as a disciple, and he was rejected every time. . One day, Yu Wen Haosheng failed to become a disciple in the Rising Sun Palace. He met Du Ce who came to discuss matters. The two had a pleasant conversation. Later, he followed Du Ce to become a disciple of Yunsheng Shangxian Sect.
As the head of the sect, Yunsheng Shangxian was busy with affairs on weekdays. He had already said that he would no longer accept disciples, but this time he made an exception for Yu Wen Haosheng.
"Lan Sheng, you have been practicing for more than two years. Tomorrow you and Zhuling will help the brothers to eliminate demons," Yunxu said.
