Chapter 151: A Good Disciple Who Respects Teachers and Values the Dao

A majestic voice rang out from mid-air, and everyone looked over.

They saw Outer Sect Sect Master Xu Yongnian appearing above the Void Realm at some unknown time.

Hearing Xu Yongnian's words, the heavily injured Deacon Sun was overjoyed, casting a vicious gaze toward Xiao Fan…

It seemed he could not wait to see the scene where Xiao Fan was punished and then died before him.

One must know that an Outer Sect Disciple attacking a Deacon was a serious crime.

Xiao Fan furrowed his brows and looked over; seeing it was Xu Yongnian, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief…

Xu Yongnian would punish him?

In his dreams…

Opposite him, Deacon Ming stood expressionless and cold, not moving an inch.

Zhu Gang and the others were full of worry, their faces each paler than the last.

The woman named Hai Jiao had tears shimmering in her eyes…

"It's not Brother Xiao's fault; they were the ones who went too far!"

Hearing Hai Jiao's words, the people around Zhu Gang could no longer bear it and spoke up one after another.

"Sect Master, Brother Xiao Fan isn't to blame for this; it's all Li Feng and the others' fault…"

"Sect Master, if you must punish someone, punish us; it has nothing to do with Brother Xiao Fan…"

"…"

Zhu Gang and the others all spoke up.

None of the surrounding onlookers dared to even breathe loudly. Although Xu Yongnian, as the Outer Sect Sect Master, usually appeared smiling and kind…

Once he was truly angered, no one dared to ignore him.

Xu Yongnian scanned the crowd, not in a rush to speak. He glanced at the unconscious Li Feng.

The corner of his mouth twitched…

With his current cultivation, he didn't need to get close; he could judge the severity of the injuries just from the aura…

Without some miraculous Spirit Pill, Li Feng wouldn't be able to get out of bed for at least half a year…

Xiao Fan's ruthless strikes were only one factor; the palm strike from Deacon Sun was also a significant part of it.

Li Feng had already collapsed, leaving four others who stood there with pale faces, heads bowed, not daring to make a sound…

Even the Sect Master had been alerted; this was no small matter.

Everyone thought Xiao Fan was definitely finished. Even if Li Feng and his group were in the wrong, the fact that Xiao Fan had beaten Deacon Sun into such a state was indeed a violation of the sect rules…

And a very serious one at that.

In mid-air, Xu Yongnian sighed inwardly, feeling a bit of a headache…

After a moment of thought, he finally spoke in a deep voice, "I have witnessed this entire matter from start to finish… The match between Xiao Fan and Li Feng was a fair duel. Since Deacon Sun intervened first and took action without authorization, Xiao Fan's retaliation…"

"…was merely for self-defense!"

What?

Immediately, the onlookers were stunned. Self-defense?

Even Xiao Fan gave Xu Yongnian a deep look in mid-air…

He thought to himself: As expected of the Sect Master, his words are truly skillful.

Deacon Sun was also dazed, staring blankly into the air. The other party was acting in self-defense?

He attacked first, and then the other party, for self-defense, beat him half to death?

It seemed… reasonable…

But if that were the case, wouldn't the "little beast" opposite him be off the hook?

Self-defense my ass!

"Sect Master, I refuse to accept this! I didn't…"

Deacon Sun shouted loudly, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Xu Yongnian in mid-air.

"What do you have to be dissatisfied about?"

"As a Deacon of the Tongtian Realm, you actually lost to a newly joined Disciple…"

"I think you might as well stop being a Deacon!"

Xu Yongnian's voice was loud and filled with anger.

Hearing this, Deacon Sun trembled all over and did not dare to speak further.

Deacon Ming didn't speak either. From Xu Yongnian's tone, it was clear he wanted to downplay the whole affair…

Seeing Deacon Sun shut up, Xu Yongnian looked at Xiao Fan and said calmly, "Of course, since Xiao Fan attacked a Deacon, it was wrong. Therefore, Xiao Fan is sentenced to clean the Scripture Pavilion for three months… during which he will be under the arrangements of Elder He and Elder An!"

Cleaning the Scripture Pavilion for three months?

Xiao Fan was stunned. This counted as punishment?

Xiao Fan didn't know who Elder An was, but Elder He should be the old man at the entrance of the Scripture Pavilion.

In an instant, Xiao Fan roughly guessed Elder An's identity.

The onlookers were also taken aback; they had never heard of such a punishment.

But since Sect Master Xu Yongnian had spoken personally, who would dare to question it?

Zhu Gang was fine, though his expression was a bit odd, but the Disciples around him had pale faces.

They had just joined the Jixian Sect, so they didn't understand anything…

And now, the Brother Xiao they looked up to had to be punished with cleaning the Scripture Pavilion for three months because of them!

Especially the injured female Disciple named Hai Jiao; she was just about to speak up again to argue for Xiao Fan, willing to clean the Scripture Pavilion in his place!

Zhu Gang noticed something was off and quickly stopped her.

Fearful that she would stir up more trouble…

"Xiao Fan, do you have any complaints?"

Xu Yongnian's voice rang out.

"This Disciple accepts the command and is willing to be punished."

Xiao Fan bowed respectfully, his attitude the complete opposite of how he had treated the two Deacons…

He clearly looked like a good Disciple who respected teachers and valued the Dao.

Xu Yongnian nodded with satisfaction, his figure turning into a streak of light and vanishing…

Xiao Fan wasn't stupid…

Punishing him by making him clean the Scripture Pavilion?

What was there to clean in that place…

Everyone around had strange expressions, and many more Outer Sect Disciples were rushing over.

They had all received messages from friends to come and watch the excitement.

In the end, they saw nothing…

Xiao Fan glanced at the red-faced Deacon Sun, said nothing, and strode away.

Deacon Sun's face was pale…

Beside him, Deacon Ming's face was also unsightly, but since the Sect Master had spoken, what could they say?

Neither of them was a fool; a Disciple beats a Deacon into this state in public, and the punishment is three months of cleaning?

And it's the freaking Scripture Pavilion?

What a joke.

But if they knew that Xiao Fan had awakened the Enlightenment Seed…

And that the Four Peaks of the Inner Sect were competing to take Xiao Fan as a Disciple, each offering their own treasures because of him…

The two of them would probably have pissed themselves on the spot.
