Chapter 17 The First Punishment

The news of the purchase error spread like wildfire throughout the Linghe Palace. All the ordinary disciples, elite disciples, and even the core disciples of the Linghe Palace rushed to the palace after hearing the news.

Every person who came knelt on the ground to plead for Chu Xinghe without saying a word.

This scene made Wei Deqian's scalp numb.

It was hard for him to imagine how a person could make the entire Linghe Palace come out to plead for him.

Not only Wei Deqian, but also the Great Elder was shocked.

But he was more happy than shocked.

The Great Elder knew that Chu Xinghe was very popular in the Linghe Palace. The senior brothers had put a lot of thought into his trip to the Ling Tomb.

But the Great Elder realized after seeing this scene today that he had underestimated Chu Xinghe after all.

It is said that it is easy to share wealth, but difficult to share adversity.

If Chu Xinghe was rewarded today, and everyone came to congratulate him, then the Great Elder would not think there was any problem at all.

But Chu Xinghe made a big mistake today. He was so angry that these kids should know his temper. There were people who helped to plead for mercy in the past. He would punish those who pleaded for mercy.

"All of you stand up! Anyone who dares to plead for mercy will be punished together!" The elder shouted sternly.

But at this moment, no one stood up, and everyone knelt there motionless.

This scene really shocked the elder... but he was more relieved in his heart.

He shouted that sentence just now to see whether these people would turn around and leave because of fear of punishment, or really defend their junior brother Xinghe at all costs.

Now the elder has the answer.

This kid Chu Xinghe...

Since the establishment of Haotian Sect and the establishment of Linghe Palace, there has never been a person who has such charm that the entire Linghe Palace is willing to be punished for him in a short time!

But after thinking about it carefully, the elder understood that Chu Xinghe did not do anything... He just did his best, was extremely humble to every senior brother, and rushed to do all the hard work.

From an elite disciple to a core disciple, and then to his own disciple, and even almost becoming the master's disciple, if it were someone else, wouldn't he be proud of the ninth heaven?

But Chu Xinghe didn't. He was still the peerless good junior brother in the eyes of others. He never changed his attitude towards his senior brother because of his identity. Even if it was the most ordinary disciple of Linghe Palace, Chu Xinghe would respectfully salute and say "Good morning, senior brother" when he saw him.

No matter who it was, when they found Chu Xinghe for help, he always responded to their requests. He would do what others were unwilling to do, and he was not afraid of being tired when others felt tired.

Such Chu Xinghe had already affected the entire Linghe Palace invisibly, and no matter who made a mistake in Linghe Palace, others did not dare to ask for mercy, but Chu Xinghe did.

Even when he was most angry, he once said that if he dared to ask for mercy again, he would let him get out of Haotian Sect.

But the elder still remembered Chu Xinghe's firm eyes and words at that time.

"Grand Elder, if expelling me from the sect can make you calm down, then please expel me from the sect. Although my senior brother made a mistake, it was an unintentional mistake and he should not be punished like this. If you want to punish me, please punish me! Please let my senior brother go!"

This is what Chu Xinghe said. Since Chu Xinghe entered Linghe Palace, whenever his senior brother made a mistake, Chu Xinghe would plead for mercy and be punished on his behalf.

Once... twice... every time...

The Grand Elder couldn't remember how many times it had happened, but he knew that in Linghe Palace, everyone talked about Junior Brother Xinghe every day, and he had never heard anyone say bad things about Chu Xinghe even in private.

The elders of Linghe Palace also came from all directions, and they were all shocked when they saw the scene.

But soon the elders also spoke up: "Great Elder, no one is perfect. You know Xinghe's character best. This is indeed his first time handling this matter, and it is inevitable that he will make mistakes. Not to mention Xinghe, even you and I made mistakes when we were young."

"Yes, Great Elder, using the Haotian Order is indeed a transgression, but since the Sect Master gave the Haotian Order to Xinghe, he didn't say that it can't be used!"

"Yes, yes, yes! The Sect Master didn't say it can't be used. Having said that, Xinghe's use of the Haotian Order is not a crime. You have been busy these days, and I think it must be because you couldn't find the Great Elder at that time, and this child didn't understand the rules, so this happened."

"Wei Deqian, did Xinghe say at that time that the Great Elder was too busy to find him!" An elder glared at Wei Deqian.

"Ah... yes... yes... I remember that at that time, Young Master Xinghe had been looking for the Great Elder in vain. He was afraid that it would delay the purchase time, so he had to use the Haotian Order. It was also my fault that I didn't explain it clearly to Young Master Xinghe at that time, so it was indeed not Young Master Xinghe's intention!"

Wei Deqian was talking nonsense!

But now, if Wei Deqian had any brain cells alive, he would know what he could say and what he couldn't say.

If I told them everything about the situation at that time, these people from the Linghe Palace would definitely tear my tendons and skin me alive!

Even though I weigh more than 300 pounds, it's not enough for each of them to eat.

A person who can make the entire Linghe Palace plead for him, just ask this kind of person, do you dare to say bad things about him?

The Great Elder looked at Wei Deqian, and it was obvious that he was also very satisfied with Wei Deqian's answer.

The whole audience was very satisfied, except Chu Xinghe!

You fat man...what the hell are you talking nonsense about? Did I do this at that time?

Chu Xinghe wanted to jump up and give this fat guy a big slap, but he couldn't do it. The scene of so many brothers and elders pleading for him today was a huge shock to Chu Xinghe.

People have their own ways and don't do their own things. So many brothers and elders pleaded for him. Now he couldn't say a word.

"Chu Xinghe!"

"Disciple is..."

"Unauthorized use of the Haotian Order is a serious crime in Haotian Sect, but considering that you have only been a disciple for a short time and don't know the sect rules well enough, it is understandable, but you must be punished for making mistakes. Are you convinced?"

"Rewards will be given for merits and punishments will be given for mistakes. Disciple is willing to accept any punishment. Please punish me, elder." Chu Xinghe was excited!

I'm finally going to be punished!

"Okay, Feng Fei is also responsible for the purchase error this time. Fine Feng Fei for half a year's resources."

"Disciple thanks the elder for your mercy." Feng Fei thanked him. After all, this punishment... in Linghe Palace, which is in charge of elixirs, is just talk.

"Chu Xinghe, you used the Haotian Order without authorization, but considering the circumstances, you are punished to be confined in the Medicine King Palace for three months. During this period, you are only allowed to refine pills and cannot step out of the Medicine King Palace. The Haotian Order is taken back by the sect. I will report this to the sect master."

"Thank you, Great Elder, for your mercy..." Countless brothers, including the elders, thanked the Great Elder, and everyone finally smiled.

Confined in the Medicine King Palace for three months? This punishment is nothing. Brother Xinghe has been practicing in the Medicine King Palace for three months. Besides, he can't go out. Can't the brothers find him what he needs?

Everyone laughed... But Chu Xinghe cried.

That's it? Great Elder... Can you deprive me of my status as a direct disciple?

Losing the status of a direct disciple means you can be promoted to the fifth rank directly. What's the point of just confinement?

But at this point, Chu Xinghe has no choice. Three months of confinement is three months of confinement. It's better than nothing.

As the elder's words fell, Chu Xinghe felt his head shake, and the next second, the compass of doom hidden in his mind started to turn for the first time.

The pointer quickly stopped at the punishment of three months of confinement, indicating that his mission was completed, and the reward also appeared in front of Chu Xinghe.

After being punished with three months of confinement, the reward was the peak cultivation of the second-grade martial artist...

Chu Xinghe felt an invisible force released from the compass, and his spiritual power suddenly surged in an instant. Chu Xinghe, who had just broken through to the beginning of the second grade, directly reached the peak of the second-grade martial artist...

Cool!

Although the mosquito legs are a little small, they are still meat after all. I finally see hope!

The elder left Linghe Palace with the Haotian Order. This matter involved too much and must be reported to the sect master.

Many senior brothers came to comfort Chu Xinghe.

"Junior Brother Xinghe, it's Senior Brother Feng's fault. I shouldn't have your kindness!" Feng Fei was full of self-blame.

"Brother Feng was wrong. I am the one who should be sorry to you. My negligence led to this result. You are punished with me. I feel... I feel..."

"Alas... Brother Xinghe, Brother Feng's punishment is not a punishment. There are no other places with elixir resources. How can it be a problem in Linghe Palace? So you don't need to blame yourself."

"That's right. If it weren't for you, Brother Xinghe, I would have been kicked out of Linghe Palace last time."

"And I... Brother Xinghe, you are so righteous to me on weekdays. We will never watch you being punished!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Brother Xinghe, don't worry. Three months will pass quickly. Just practice in Yaowang Palace with peace of mind. If you need anything, just say it and we will get it for you."

"Thank you, brothers." Chu Xinghe was really moved at this moment.

Many elders also came up to comfort Chu Xinghe, saying that he should not complain about the punishment of the elder. The elder has such a personality, and he loves you deeply and blames you harshly.

He blames you harshly... Chu Xinghe wants to spit, is this considered a punishment?

The punishment I want is not like this at all...

The elder personally went to Haotian Palace to return the Haotian Order. The sect master was also shocked when he heard about the situation at that time.

It is not difficult for a disciple to have a group of people plead for mercy, but it is incredible for a disciple to let the Linghe Palace plead for mercy.

Regarding the elder's punishment, the sect master just said that he knew it, and told the elder to keep an eye on Chu Xinghe, the stinky boy, and not only to learn to refine medicine, but also to practice Haotian's fighting spirit.

Hearing the sect master's words, the elder was completely relieved, and he knew that the sect master had passed this level.

After all, the great elder himself knew that his punishment was nothing, and whether the sect master would be dissatisfied or not, but the fact that the sect master said so meant that he was very satisfied with his actions.

The news quickly spread throughout the Haotian Sect.

Chu Xinghe was the only one who made the mistake, and the fact that all the disciples of the Linghe Palace knelt down to beg for mercy made many people look unbelievable.

"I tell you, I was not at the scene. If I were there, I would definitely plead for Senior Brother Xinghe!" Wan Lin is now an elite disciple of Qiulin Palace. After hearing this news, she didn't care what other senior sisters and junior sisters of Qiulin Palace thought, she supported Chu Xinghe anyway.

"Senior Brother Xinghe is the most righteous person I have ever seen. He is very kind to his fellow disciples. I am not good at talking, but if Senior Brother Xinghe is in trouble, I, Wan Lin, will definitely risk my life to help!"

Wan Lin has become Chu Xinghe's little fan girl invisibly...
