After the greetings, Xiao Baidao and the others asked what had happened.
Feng Xi's little mouth went blah blah blah, recounting the entire course of events.
Because there had been the example of the deep chasm, Xiao Baidao and the other three weren't overly surprised. Rather, they were very interested in the Origin Breath Vine.
This thing might even be of great use at a critical moment.
Of course, the premise was that it could be propagated.
As for those Nascent Soul demon beasts, they also couldn't say much.
After all, they were demon beasts, they couldn't exactly be scolded like grandchildren!
Besides, people would definitely have to be stationed here, so they had to maintain a good relationship with them.
After saying a few harmless words, this matter was considered over.
Finally, Baili Muchen asked with a dark face, "What happened to Xiuhan's injuries? Who did this?"
Feng Xi immediately said, "Sect Master Baili, Lu Xiuhan pretended to apologize to me, but in reality, he tampered with the spirit stones and wanted to poison me to death!
Fortunately, I'm clever and saw through his conspiracy and schemes, then sparred with him a little.
Please don't misunderstand. Although I defeated him, I only stabbed his legs a few times. The rest of his injuries were done by Senior Brother Mu and the others.
Because they felt like Lu Xiuhan was too inhuman. If they didn't let him suffer a little, he would definitely cause major trouble.
So they hardened their resolve and taught Lu Xiuhan a lesson.
What I said is absolutely true. If you don't believe me, you can ask Senior Brother Mu and the others.
Also, with Lu Xiuhan's level of intelligence, he couldn't have thought of poisoning me. I was probably Shen Zhilan who instigated him.
Of course, this is just my irresponsible guess. When you have time, you can interrogate Lu Xiuhan and you'll know."
Baili Muchen's face turned green and white in turns, he looked at Mu Zihuai and the other three, "Is what Feng Xi said true?"
Mu Zihuai and the other three nodded, "It's true."
Even if it wasn't true, they had no choice!
They couldn't exactly say that they had been threatened by Feng Xi, so they stabbed Lu Xiuhan full of holes like a hornet's nest!
Master would be furious!
Before Baili Muchen could speak, Xiao Baidao flew into a rage!
"Baili Muchen, once or twice is one thing, but not again and again! Tell me, how many times has this Lu Xiuhan and that Shen Zhilan harmed Little Xi?!
If you don't give us a satisfactory explanation, I won't let this go!"
The old man was really angry!
Harming Feng Xi was like stabbing him in the heart!
Baili Muchen, who had originally wanted to demand an explanation, immediately wilted.
"Well, Old Xiao, let's talk this over properly. Besides, isn't Feng Xi perfectly fine…"
"Bullshit! My disciple is fine because my disciple is capable!
That has nothing to do with your disciple being inhuman!
Stop saying all this useless nonsense. Today, you must give me an explanation!"
Hu Wankui nodded, "Sect Master Baili, I think Old Xiao is right. These two disciples of yours have done bad things more than once or twice!
Especially that Shen Zhilan, she nearly caused a major disaster, yet not only did she not repent, she even instigated Lu Xiuhan to harm Feng Xi, refusing to change!"
Lu Zhenkuan also said, "That's right, Sect Master Baili. Last time, we already showed her leniency beyond the rules. This time, she must be severely punished!"
Just then, Lu Xiuhan woke up.
He roared, "I hated Feng Xi to the bone, so I wanted to kill her! If there's anything, come at me! This matter has nothing to do with Junior Sister Zhilan."
Feng Xi now looked at Lu Xiuhan in a new light. Although this man was both stupid and wicked, he was utterly devoted to Shen Zhilan.
From this, it could be seen that Shen Zhilan's methods weren't ordinary!
But that also made sense. In the book, all the fish Shen Zhilan raised were utterly devoted to her.
It's just that after Feng Xi transmigrated into the book, she had dug a big hole in Shen Zhilan's fishpond…
Baili Muchen's head buzzed!
He originally wanted to interrogate a bit more, perhaps there was some misunderstanding in this matter.
But now, there's no need for that, his second disciple had confessed on his own.
He questioned him several more times, but Lu Xiuhan insisted every time that it had nothing to do with Shen Zhilan and was willing to bear the blame alone.
Baili Muchen closed his eyes.
Only after a long time did he open them again.
"Second Disciple, your master once placed great hopes in you, but you have disappointed me too much.
Now that you have committed such a grave mistake, it is also related to your master's indulgence and lack of strict discipline. I will bear half of your guilt for you.
As for the other half, you can only bear it yourself!
From today onward, you are no longer my, Baili Muchen's, disciple. You will be sentenced to labor at the Heaven-Bestowed Spirit Mine and may never leave for all eternity!"
After Baili Muchen finished speaking, he struck his own chest with a palm!
He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
He looked at Xiao Baidao, "Sect Master Xiao, are you satisfied with this outcome?"
Xiao Baidao was somewhat at a loss.
To be honest, he hadn't expected Baili Muchen to use self-harm to calm his anger.
He hurriedly supported Baili Muchen, "Why go this far?! By doing this, you make me seem inhuman instead!
Alright. Since you've said as much, I have nothing more to say.
Actually, Zihuai and the others are all quite good too. In the future, let the younger generation get closer to one another. Let the past be the past!"
Hu Wankui and Lu Zhenkuan also hurried over to smooth things over, and even took out pills for Baili Muchen to take.
Feng Xi looked bewildered.
She also hadn't expected Baili Muchen to be so ruthless!
But in the next instant, she understood Baili Muchen's intention in doing this.
Calming Xiao Baidao's anger was only one aspect, his main purpose was to show Mu Zihuai and the other four.
Of his six disciples now, one Lu Xiuhan had been ruined.
Shen Zhilan was also in imminent danger.
He had to pull the remaining four back.
Without a dose of harsh medicine, it would be useless.
Only by making them feel pain and guilt could they return to the proper path!
Feng Xi's mood became a bit complicated, although Baili Muchen was petty, he was wholeheartedly good to his disciples.
Strictly speaking, every last one of the four sect masters treated their personal disciples with wholehearted sincerity.
Baili Muchen's actions clearly shook Mu Zihuai and the other three greatly. Their eyes all reddened, and along with that, they also came to hate Lu Xiuhan and Shen Zhilan.
Even though Lu Xiuhan had exonerated Shen Zhilan, they knew Lu Xiuhan didn't have the intelligence for this. It must've been Shen Zhilan who instigated him.
Ever since Master had accepted her, they hadn't had a single peaceful day.
She really was a jinx!
Lu Xiuhan also hadn't expected Baili Muchen to do this. For an instant, he felt self-reproach and regret, but soon, all of that was replaced by resentment.
Feng Xi isn't even from our Hunyuan Sect, why does it matter if I kill her?!
As long as I, Lu Xiuhan, live for one more day, not one of those who have wronged me can hope for a good ending!
Whether it is Baili Muchen, that muddleheaded old man, or those fence-sitters Mu Zihuai and the others, they can all die!
Especially Feng Xi, I will trap her in unbearable suffering, unable to live and unable to die!
Seeing his venomous gaze, Feng Xi's lips curved slightly.
