The Immortal Path of the White-Haired Maiden Volume 1 Chapter 74: Discussing Punishment

  The other party came with ill intentions, but private fights were prohibited within the garden. Xiao Yao was momentarily troubled, wondering whether to fight or not. Before she could make up her mind, the opponent launched two spells at her.

  These two people, one with a water spiritual root and one with a fire spiritual root, cast spells that are both ruthless and swift, all of which are fatal moves, without leaving any room for mercy!

  Since the other party had already made a ruthless move, Xiao Yao felt that there was no need to worry about what was proper or not, and the lightning net in her palm transformed and rapidly shot towards the two women.

  Having reached the realm of divine transformation, due to the "degree" reason, even if it is a same-level cultivator's strength will also appear in the situation of power disparity. At present, Xiao Yao doesn't need to establish prestige, naturally different from dealing with small-eyed male cultivators, leaving room for play and education, with the intention of teasing and punishing. The thunderbolt in his hand was mercilessly released, nearly a hundred arrows were shot out, under the huge difference in yuan power, instantly suppressing the two women's spells, and heavily piercing through their spiritual shields.

  All that could be heard was a loud "Ah!" as the two women fell to the ground, spitting out fresh blood. The few ladies who were there earlier also fell heavily to the ground due to the residual shock of the thunderbolt, their internal energy in disarray, and they all suffered minor internal injuries.

  Looking at the wounded all over the ground, Xiao Yao cupped her hands and said, "Sorry." Then she returned to the courtyard, no longer paying attention.

  The woman in red, named Zilan, felt that Xiao Yao was extremely arrogant and hurtful. After injuring someone, she returned to the mansion with a swagger, her beautiful eyes flashing with a hint of cruelty.

  "Dare to hurt me Liu Zhilan, I will make you pay the price!"

  After sending away a group of women, Xiao Yao felt that she had also fought enough and considered the grudges settled, so she put this matter aside and focused on preparing for the trip to the main island to participate in the Alchemy Grand Prix. However, she overlooked one point: not all cultivators necessarily solve problems in the same way as herself, especially the women raised in the mansion, whose actual strength may not be much, but their minds are the most cunning and difficult to deal with.

  She thought it was settled on her side, but Liu Zhilan turned around and reported it to Wan Chuanlingjun.

  It stands to reason that the affairs of the courtyard have always been managed by Liu Luli, but Liu Zhilan is a daughter of the Liu family, and her sister Liu Qianyun is the Daoist partner of Wan Chuanlingjun. Wan Chuanlingjun is notorious for doting on his wife on Meishan Fudao, so he naturally favors Liu Zhilan due to her close relationship with Liu Qianyun. Therefore, Liu Zhilan deliberately bypassed Liu Luli, who valued Xiao Yao highly, and instead sought support from Wan Chuanlingjun, with whom she was more closely related.

  In the Zhong Tang Garden, she recounted the events with embellishments, her voice trembling with rage at the end: "Please, brother-in-law, take charge and severely punish this wicked woman who broke the rules, and drive her out of my White Jade Villa!"

  As he sat above, Wan Chuan Ling Jun listened and his eyebrows furrowed slightly under the silver mask. To be honest, he had some understanding of his little sister-in-law's temperament. Although she described her opponent as extremely evil and unreasonable in her narrative, while she was passively humiliated, the truth might be the opposite. Moreover, everything in the courtyard was managed by Ruri Hime, and he really didn't want to get involved, especially when it came to the women in the Western Garden being jealous and petty. Just watching them gave him a headache. But his wife was particularly fond of this little sister and couldn't bear her suffering any injustice. If he didn't intervene, he feared his wife would be relentless.

  He looked at Liu Zilan, who was crying with tears all over her face, and compared the two. In the end, he still leaned towards his own wife, so he said: "You don't cry first, I'll talk to Luliu Ji, if what you say is true, I will give you justice."

  Liu Zhilan immediately knew that her brother-in-law was in charge of this matter, and she was overjoyed, wiping away her tears. She bowed and said: "Thank you, sister's husband."

  Wan Chuan just waved his hand to signal her to leave, and after she left, he thought for a moment before changing someone to instruct a few words, then went to the Luliu Garden where Luliu Ji was.

  An hour later, in the side hall of Luliu Garden, Luliu Ji's delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed as she looked at Wan Chuan Ling Jun sitting in front of her, but unfortunately, his expression couldn't be seen under the silver mask.

  She sipped her mouthful of tea, her beautiful eyes gazing straight into his deep, seemingly bottomless pupils, and said: "I take it that Brother Wan Chuan means to have me severely punish that young friend of mine?"

  "Right, but this is not just aimed at her. Since entering the White Jade Courtyard, one must follow the rules of the courtyard. Like Yi and Feicui, who also took action, will be severely punished!"

  Luli Ji slightly raised the corner of her lips, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Fellow Daoist is indeed fair and strict, without considering the cause and effect. I just ask one question: when did it become necessary for Fellow Daoist Wan Chuan to intervene in the affairs of the inner courtyard? Why didn't the person who reported this matter report it to me first, but instead let Fellow Daoist Wan Chuan inform me? Does that person not put me in their eyes?"

  Ten thousand rivers, with a faint flash in his eyes, but facing the sharp gaze, not avoiding it at all, only said lightly: "If I really wanted to intervene in internal affairs, I would have dealt with it directly and wouldn't have come over here. Although this person who reported is indeed somewhat irregular, everyone in the garden knows that the gentle female cultivator has your favor, so it's understandable that she reported to me. Similarly, I also know that internal affairs are under the management of fellow Daoist Luliu, which is why I informed you, hoping that fellow Daoist can handle this matter fairly."

  Clever words and expressions! Luli's heart was filled with cold laughter, without needing to investigate carefully, she could roughly guess the cause and effect. In this separate courtyard, how many people would make Wanchuan, who usually handled things fairly, abandon his principles? Apart from Liu Zilan, no one else came to mind.

  She thought that with her gentle temperament, she would never take the initiative to provoke, and it was possible that Liu Zhilan had misunderstood her identity, which led to the trouble. It seems that she still underestimated the means of those women in Xiyuan, and accidentally harmed that gentle little friend.

  Thinking of this, Luliuji cleared her throat and said: "Since Master Wanchuan says he wants to be fair, shouldn't Liu Zilan, the master of Ruyi and Feicui, also be punished? If she hadn't given them instructions, how would those two dare to take action?"

  Wan Chuan nodded in agreement: "When a subordinate makes a mistake, as the master, one should take some responsibility." However, his tone suddenly changed: "But this matter was not ordered by her. As Yi and Feicui have said, at that time they were anxious to protect their master and acted hastily without regard for rules. Liu Zhilan's fault lies in being too lenient with them. In my humble opinion, punishing them for a few months of serving as temple maidens would be sufficient warning."

  Luli Ji listened and although she was angry in her heart, she still followed his words and said: "It's rare for Wan Chuan Dao to think so thoroughly, I'd like to ask what punishment do you think Rong Rou Xiao You and Ru Yi, Fei Cui should receive?"

  Wan Chuan paused for a moment, his fingers rubbing the tea cup in his hand repeatedly. The silver-white mask reflected a faint cold white light under the ripples of the tea water.

  "Fifty strokes of the cane! Get out of the White Jade Villa!"
