Chapter 13 (Thirteen) Punishment
Yan Moying and Gao Cai in the innermost dormitory were already asleep. Although their rooms were far away from the hall, the bell still woke them up.
"What's going on? You're still ringing the bell so late..." the sleepy Gao Cai complained.
"Junior sister, hurry up!"
"There must be something important that calls us to a meeting so late!"
Yan Moying heard the voices of two Jiulan sect disciples outside and said to Gao Cai, "It should be the bell for the disciples' assembly."
"Oh, the sect's meeting is none of our business, just go on sleeping... Just don't ring the bell after the meeting..." Gao Cai finished half asleep and fell asleep again.
Near the beginning of the year, all the disciples had gathered in the Jiulan Gate Hall, separated into three sides: west, south and east. Yin Ruchen knelt in the center of the hall, facing Rong and the master of the gate.
Rong Yu announced to all the disciples: "Yin Ruchen, a disciple of the Jiulan sect, brought someone who was not from the sect into the sect on the 17th, which violated the sect's rules. Yin Ruchen is now ordered to kneel down from the beginning of the twelfth day of the twelfth day to the beginning of the twelfth day of the 18th day." He repented and thought about his mistakes in front of Jiulanbi. After the first day of the 18th day, he immediately packed his bags and left the sect before the first day of the 19th day. From the 19th day of the lunar month, Yin Ruchen no longer belonged to himself and his disciples. And all the disciples of this sect are witnesses.”
Most of the women in white were reluctant to leave, and they just sighed in their hearts. After all, the mistakes Yin Ruchen made were too serious in the eyes of any Jiulan sect disciple. No matter how sorry they felt emotionally, they all supported Rong Yu's actions intellectually. Most of them supported Rong Yu's actions. She is a woman who has been taught to be sensible by Rong Yu, so no one showed anything in the hall. At this time, the corner of Kun Yu's mouth raised slightly, and he was so happy that he wanted to laugh, but he held it back in front of all the fellow apprentices, sisters and master.
Yin Ruchen walked out of the hall from the southeast entrance in full view of everyone. Looking up, the thick clouds and mist were just like her mood, which was unclear and chaotic. The night wind was bitingly cold, and the snow under her feet had not melted. She walked forward quietly without any complaints. She felt that all these punishments were normal.
Soon she came to Jiuhuang Garden in the east, and a huge jade stone appeared there, with the three characters "Jiulan Bi" engraved on it. She pushed aside the snow on the ground, revealing a large open space, and the flowers blooming under the snow were also exposed. The closer she was to Jiulanbi, the fewer the flowers were. In order not to crush the flowers, she knelt down very close to Jiulanbi. The cold wind blew and the petals of the bowl-sized flowers on the ground swayed, as if they wanted to take advantage of the wind. Yin Ruchen knelt there and had to rely on his internal strength to resist the severe cold.
All the disciples went back to the dormitory to rest. Rong Yu stood aside and looked straight at Yin Ruchen for a long time. After several times of wanting to speak but stopping, she let out a long sigh, then turned around slowly, and slowly Walk towards the bedroom. Rong Yu turned around every two steps to look at Yin Ruchen, who was kneeling in front of Jiulanbi. After looking at her several times, she stopped looking back and walked quickly back to the dormitory.
【Chapter 8】
In the early morning of the 18th, after adequate rest, Gao Cai was in high spirits and almost returned to normal. The signs of internal injuries were completely gone, the external injuries on his body were much better, and the injuries on his arms were almost healed. He couldn't help but sigh: "Jiulanmen's medicine is really miraculous!"
Seeing Gao Cai's radiant face, Yan Moying was also very happy.
Gao Cai asked Yan Moying: "We are here for the Dihu Flower. What does the Dihu Flower look like?" (End of Chapter)
