He could only blame himself for being too engrossed and not being on guard at the peak of life and death. He didn't even notice that someone was approaching.
What's going on?
Where did this kid come from?
Ah, it seems to be that Mo-something ā¦ Mo-something?
Mo-cooked?
Mo-cooked?
Mo-fish?
He adjusted his expression and skillfully controlled his expression to "keep people away" state. The surprise and panic in his eyes were quickly swept away by him and replaced with his usual sharp and harsh expression.
"You ā"
Just as he was about to reprimand him out of habit, his hand was suddenly caught.
Chu Wanning was stunned.
In all his life, no one had ever dared to grab his wrist casually.
For a moment, his face turned black and he froze in place, not knowing what to do.
Take it out and give him a slap?
ā¦ With the word "molester", he was no different from a girl.
Then take it out and not give him a slap?
ā¦ Wasn't he a little too easy to talk to?
Chu Wanning hesitated for a long time and didn't move. The youth laughed, "What's that on your hand?
It's quite pretty. Can you teach me how to do this?
They have already introduced themselves, but you haven't said anything. Which elder are you?
Hey, did your head hurt when you bumped into it? "
With so many questions thrown at him, Chu Wanning felt that his head didn't hurt before, but now it did.
His head was about to split open ā¦
He was irritated and the golden light in his hand slightly floated. Seeing that Heaven's Inquisition was about to answer the call, the other elders were all shocked. Was Chu Wanning crazy?
He dared to slap this Young Master Mo?
His hand was suddenly caught by Mo Ran.
Now that both of his hands were in the hands of the young man, Mo Ran didn't seem to notice the danger. He pulled the young man and stood in front of him. He looked up and said with a smile, "My name is Mo Ran. I don't know anyone here, but I like you the most just by looking at your face.
Why don't I worship you as my teacher? "
This result was completely unexpected. The surrounding people were even more horrified. A few of the elders' faces looked like they were about to crack.
Elder Xuanji: "Hmm?"
Elder Pojun: "Wow!"
Elder Seven Kills: "Oh?"
Disciplinary Elder, "Uh ā¦"
Elder Tanlang: "Ha, what a joke."
Elder Lucun was the most feminine. His hair was curly, and his eyes were like peach blossoms. "Aiya, this young master is so bold. He's truly a young hero. He even dares to touch Elder Yu Heng's butt."
"ā¦ Please, can you not make it sound so disgusting?" Seven Kills said in disdain.
Lucun rolled his eyes gracefully and snorted, "Hmm, then I'll put it in a more refined manner. You're truly a young hero. You even dared to touch Elder Yu Heng's butt."
Seven Kills: "ā¦" Just kill him.
Among all the elders, the most popular one was the gentle Elder Xuanji. It was easy for him to learn magic, and he was a gentleman himself. Most of the disciples at the Peak of Life and Death were under his tutelage.
Chu Wanning originally thought that Mo Ran would be no exception. Even if he wasn't Xuanji, he should be the lively Pojun. After all, it would be anyone's turn but not his.
However, Mo Ran was standing so close to him, and his face was filled with a kind of affection and affection that was unfamiliar to him. He was like a clown who was suddenly chosen, and he was flustered for no reason.
Chu Wanning only knew how to deal with "awe", "fear", and "disgust". As for "affection", it was too difficult.
He didn't even think about it and immediately rejected Mo Ran.
The young man was stunned. Under his long eyelashes, there was a hint of loneliness and unwillingness in his eyes.
He lowered his head and thought for a long time. Suddenly, he unreasonably whispered, "Anyway, it's you."
Chu Wanning: "ā¦"
The Great Lord was watching from the side. He couldn't help but laugh and ask, "Mo Ran, do you know who he is?"
"He didn't tell me. How would I know who he is?"
"Haha, since you don't know who he is, why do you want him?"
Mo Ran was still holding Chu Wanning's hand. He turned his head and said to the Great Lord with a smile, "Because he looks the most gentle and easy to talk to."
In the darkness, Chu Wanning suddenly opened his eyes. He felt dizzy.
ā¦ What the hell.
He didn't know what was wrong with Mo Ran's eyes at that time. He actually thought that he was gentle.
Not only him, but the entire Peak of Life and Death knew about this. They all looked at Mo Ran with a "look at this silly child" look.
Chu Wanning raised his hand and held his throbbing forehead.
His shoulder hurt, his mind was in a mess, his stomach was hungry, and he was dizzy.
It seemed that he wouldn't be able to sleep.
He lay on the bed in a daze for a while. He sat up and was about to light a stick of incense to calm himself down when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
It was Mo Ran outside again.
Chu Wanning: "ā¦"
He didn't answer. He didn't say 'get in' or 'get out'.
But this time, the door opened by itself.
Chu Wanning looked up gloomily.
The match in his hand hovered in mid-air. It didn't touch the incense. After a while, it went out.
Chu Wanning said, "Get out."
Mo Ran rolled in.
He was holding a bowl of steaming hot noodles that had just come out of the pot.
It was simpler this time. There weren't as many fancy noodles. The pure white noodle soup was sprinkled with chopped green onions and white sesame seeds. There were small pieces of pork ribs, green vegetables, and a slightly browned poached egg.
Chu Wanning was very hungry, but his face was still expressionless. He looked at the noodles, then looked at Mo Ran. He turned his face away and didn't say anything.
Mo Ran put the noodles on the table and said softly, "I asked the chef in the shop to make another bowl."
Chu Wanning lowered his eyes.
Sure enough, Mo Ran wouldn't be the one to make it.
"Eat some," Mo Ran said, "There's no spicy food in this bowl, no beef, and no bean sprouts."
After that, he left and closed the door for Chu Wanning.
He felt sorry for Chu Wanning's injury.
But that was all he could do.
In the room, Chu Wanning leaned against the window. No one knew what he was thinking.
He crossed his arms and stared at the bowl of pork rib noodles until the steam from the noodles dissipated. In the end, they became cold and no longer hot.
He finally walked over and sat down. He picked up his chopsticks, picked up the cold noodles, and ate slowly.
The Chen house evil case was closed.
The next day, they picked up the black horse from the post house and returned to the sect along the road they had come from.
On the streets, in the restaurants, the people of Rainbow Butterfly Town were all talking about the Chen family.
In such a small town, such a scandal broke out. It was enough for the townspeople to talk about for a year.
"I didn't expect that Young Master Chen would marry Miss Luo behind closed doors. Ah, Miss Luo is so pitiful."
"If you ask me, if the Chen family didn't suddenly become rich, then this wouldn't have happened. Sure enough, men can't have money. Once they have money, they can drown the entire city with bad ideas."
A man was unhappy and said, "Young Master Chen didn't do anything bad. This is all his parents' fault. That son of a bitch, in the future, his children won't have assholes."
Another person said, "The dead are pitiful, but what about the living?
Look at Chen Yaoshi, Miss Yao. I think she is the one who has been wronged.
That black hearted old mother of the Chen family lied to her daughter. Tell me, what should she do now? "
"Remarry."
That person rolled his eyes and sneered, "Remarry?
You want to marry? "
The bumpkin who was ridiculed grimaced in pain and said, "If that woman in my nest agrees, I'll marry her. Miss Yao is so pretty, I don't mind her being a widow."
"Bah, a toad wants to eat swan meat."
Mo Ran sat on the back of the horse and pricked up his ears. He was in high spirits as he listened left and right.
If it weren't for the fact that Chu Wanning had her eyes closed and her brows furrowed, writing the words "extremely noisy" on her forehead, Mo Ran might have gone over to join in the gossip with the villagers.
Riding side by side, they finally left the main city and arrived at the suburbs.
Shi Mei suddenly exclaimed and pointed to the distance, "Master, look over there."
In front of the destroyed temple of the Ghost Master, there was a large group of farmers wearing brown clothes and short robes. They were busy moving bricks and stones. It seemed that they were planning to repair the damaged temple and reconstruct the Ghost Master's golden body.
Shi Mei said worriedly, "Master, the ghost master from before is gone, and they made a new one.
Will this one become an immortal again and do evil? "
Chu Wanning said, "I don't know."
"Why don't we go and persuade them?"
Chu Wanning said, "The custom of Colorful Butterfly Town's ghost marriage has been passed down for generations. How can you persuade them with just a few words?
Let's go. "
As he said that, he rode away, leaving behind a trail of dust.
It was already evening when they returned to the peak of life and death.
Chu Wanning said to his two disciples in front of the mountain gate, "You two go to the Dan Xin Palace and report what happened. I will go to the Discipline Court."
Mo Ran was puzzled, "Why are you going to the Discipline Court?"
Shi Mo, on the other hand, looked very worried. "ā¦"
Chu Wanning said expressionlessly, "To receive the punishment."
Although the emperor was punished the same as the commoners when he broke the law, which emperor would be imprisoned and beheaded after autumn because he killed someone?
It was the same in the cultivation world.
If the elders broke the law, they would be punished the same as the disciples. In most sects, this was just an empty sentence.
In fact, it was the elders who broke the law. It was good enough that they could write a letter of guilt. Which idiot would obediently accept the punishment and be beaten with willow vines or dozens of sticks?
Therefore, when the Discipline Elder heard Chu Wanning's confession, his face turned green.
"No, Elder Yu Heng, did you really ā¦ really beat the client?"
Chu Wanning said lightly, "Yes."
"You are too ā¦"
Chu Wanning looked up and gave him a gloomy look. The Discipline Elder shut up.
"According to the law, this punishment is 200 sticks, seven days of kneeling in the Yama Palace, and three months of confinement." Chu Wanning said, "I have nothing to say. I am willing to accept the punishment."
The Discipline Elder, "ā¦"
He looked left and right, then crooked his finger. The door of the Discipline Court closed with a bang. The surroundings were suddenly silent. Only the two of them stood facing each other.
Chu Wanning asked, "What do you mean?"
"Well, Elder Yu Heng, it's not like you don't know that things like the Discipline Court, no matter how strict it is, shouldn't affect you.
When this matter is closed, only the heavens, the earth, you and I know. Let's just forget about it.
If I beat you and the Lord finds out, won't he be angry with me? "
Chu Wanning couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with him. He simply said, "If I punish others according to the law, I should also punish myself according to the law."
As he said this, he knelt in front of the Discipline Court and faced the plaque.
