Miaoshuang was forced to apologize to Qingmei yesterday. When she returned to her residence, she felt quite indignant and immediately sought out a few close disciples to discuss how to make things difficult for Zunzunbao. While they were discussing the plan, a disciple who shared a room with Zunzunbao came over and told them about the matter.

Only then did they learn that Zunzunbao was staying on the mountain to study and practice.

Miaoshuang immediately went to her brother's residence and exaggerated the events at Tiesuodu, saying that Zunzunbao claimed he did not want to stay on the mountain, implying that all the uncles except his master were useless. She also said that she heard that the fifth uncle, when young, had relied on the favor of the grandmaster and had repeatedly insulted her master. The older disciples, who initially did not believe it, now had a big knot in their hearts. When they saw Wanzhu's earnest scolding today, they immediately guessed the reason.

In the Wulun Sect, Mr. Plum has long stopped taking disciples and teaching. The eldest uncle, Shilu, often travels outside the mountain and has only personally taught two disciples, both of whom he keeps with him. The second uncle, Baihe, usually only manages miscellaneous affairs and rarely takes disciples, and his teachings are quite ordinary. Only the third uncle, Qiansong, teaches disciples at the Zhongkui Temple at the foot of the mountain, and the fourth uncle, Wanzhu, teaches on the mountain. Most of the disciples come from their two schools, making them fellow disciples and fellow students.

Although Zunzunbao is temporarily studying under Wanzhu, he is ultimately considered a disciple of the fifth uncle, Wang Bayue, which creates a layer of separation. Later, when the conflict between the master and the uncles was mentioned, the disciples felt another layer of estrangement. So when they saw Zunzunbao crying today, Miaofeng could not help but coldly rebuke him, and Miaoshuang took the opportunity to provoke him.

Zunzunbao, seeing Miaoshuang jump out, immediately felt that the two brothers were deliberately making things difficult for him, wanting to play a trick on him. He thought, "I have already learned so many skills from my master. If the fourth uncle were to teach me, there would still be something to learn, but why send such a person? Humph, and he happens to be that person's brother, barking orders at me. How can I possibly live like this?" So he turned his head away and ignored him.

Seeing that Zunzunbao was ignoring him, Miaoshuang became furious and raised his voice, "Are you admitting it?" He immediately walked up and grabbed Zunzunbao by the collar, shouting, "Brat, you dare to look down on my master!" He then slapped him across the face, and the sound of the slap echoed. Zunzunbao's face immediately turned red and swollen.

How could Zunzunbao bear it? He turned and pounced, and the two of them rolled on the ground, hitting and swinging their fists. Miaoshuang, being older and taller, had practiced basic martial arts for a few years, so how could Zunzunbao be his match?

Miaoshuang was initially surprised, but then he grabbed Zunzunbao's wrist and twisted it hard. Zunzunbao, in pain, went limp and was immediately flipped over and pinned down. Miaoshuang continued to hit him, calling him "little thief" and "bastard."

Miaofeng and the older disciples did not stop them but stood by laughing.

Miaoshuang could have stopped at slapping him, but he should not have called him a "bastard." Knowing that Bayue was sensitive to this term, Zunzunbao felt that he was being insulted along with Bayue.

His blood boiled, and his mind buzzed. A fierce anger surged within him. He suddenly turned his hands, leaped up, and grabbed Miaoshuang's arm, biting down hard on his fingers!

Miaoshuang, suddenly bitten, felt the pain and cried out, "My finger! My finger is broken!" Initially, he was afraid his master would find out and only slapped him, but now he did not care. He clenched his other hand into a fist and hit Zunzunbao's head and shoulders, making a loud thudding sound.

Zunzunbao's shoulder ached, but he held his breath and did not let go!

Miaofeng and the others rushed over, fearing for their brother, and punched Zunzunbao on the top of his head, knocking him unconscious. They then pulled out Miaoshuang's finger, which was bleeding profusely and seemed to be broken. Thinking that his brother would have difficulty practicing magic in the future, Miaofeng kicked Zunzunbao, sending him rolling.

Zunzunbao hit his head on a rock and woke up.

Miaoshuang, still crying and screaming, saw Zunzunbao wake up and rushed over to kick him. Miaofeng did not stop him but signaled to his close disciples, and they all rushed over to kick Zunzunbao, not caring where they hit. Zunzunbao curled up to protect his head, not making a sound, but his heart burned with a fierce anger!

After a while, Miaofeng feared things would get out of hand and shouted at the others to stop. He then asked Zunzunbao, "Brat, do you admit it?" Thinking that he had already beaten him into submission, he said, "If you beg for mercy and admit your mistake, I'll let you go."

To his surprise, Zunzunbao slowly raised his head, glared at him, and spat in his face!

The spit was fresh red, but Zunzunbao still held his ground!

The two glared at each other, and Zunzunbao refused to yield. Miaofeng, angry and frustrated, did not dare to hit him again. Just as he was at a loss for what to do, he heard the sound of a bell ringing, signaling that the master and uncles were calling all the disciples.

In a hurry, Miaofeng said to Zunzunbao, "If you don't tell anyone about this, I won't hit you again, and I'll let the matter of you biting my brother go. What do you say?" He then tried to help him up.

Just as he reached out, Zunzunbao moved back and said, "If you want to hit me, go ahead. If you want to stop, that's fine too. Is life so easy?"

He got up and made a move to pounce again, saying, "Come on! If you have the guts, kill me. Otherwise, this won't be over!"

Miaofeng, being quick-witted, realized that Zunzunbao was not going to tell the master. He said, "You bit my brother's finger almost to the bone. Is that easy? If you tell the master, you'll both be expelled, and you won't get any benefit!"

Zunzunbao hesitated but did not speak. The other disciples, hearing the urgent bell, urged him, "Exactly! You'll both be expelled, and you won't be a disciple anymore."

Some of the disciples helped Zunzunbao clean the mud off his body. He did not resist, wiped his face with his sleeve, and asked, "You won't hit me or curse me again?"

The bell rang a second time, and Miaofeng, in a hurry, said, "Fine, I won't hit you again! Miaoshuang, remember this. You're not to pick on him again, or I won't forgive you!" His tone was very stern.

Miaoshuang nodded and said, "I'll listen to you."

Zunzunbao finally trusted him and cleaned himself up. The other disciples urged him, "The master has called us. We must hurry, or we'll be punished." They quickly tidied up and rushed to the hall.

Miaofeng bandaged Miaoshuang's finger and took him along, repeatedly warning him, though no one knew what he said.

When the disciples arrived, others were already there. The hall was large, with a plaque hanging above it that read "Yin-Yang Wulun." Along the wall were incense and tablets with the names of the ancestors of the Wulun Sect.

The main seat was empty, reserved for Mr. Plum. On the right and left were two rows of four seats, occupied by Baihe and Wanzhu, with the other seats empty. In front of them, a disciple was kneeling on a mat, facing away from everyone, motionless.

The disciples stood in three rows, hands behind their backs, waiting quietly for the uncles to speak. They were not arranged by seniority; those who arrived early, like Miaofeng, stood in the front, while Zunzunbao stood in the back. For a moment, no one noticed his bruised face and body.

Baihe clapped his hands three times, stood up, and went to the altar to light incense. He then returned and said, "Qiansong has sent a message from the foot of the mountain, saying that a disciple has violated the sect's rules and must come to the mountain to receive punishment. After reading Qiansong's letter, Wanzhu and I have made a decision."

The disciples responded in unison, "We will follow the instructions of the uncles and listen to their teachings."

Baihe said, "Yin-Yang Wulun Sect third-generation disciple Kongfeng, listen to your punishment!"

The kneeling disciple raised his head slightly and said, "Kongfeng listens to the punishment and will not disobey!"

Zunzunbao then remembered that in Kunshan Village, he had encountered a fellow disciple, Kongfeng, who had acted without virtue. Bayue had ordered him to return to his master and then come to the mountain to receive punishment. It turned out that after leaving Kunshan Village, he had returned to the Zhongkui Temple to report to Qiansong and then come to the mountain.

"Qiansong's disciple Kongfeng has violated the sect's rules in three ways: first, he showed no compassion and acted arrogantly, showing no mercy to the elderly and weak; second, he was arrogant and reckless, acting rashly against demons and ghosts; third, he was impulsive and careless, disregarding the lives of the innocent. These three crimes have been verified by Bayue and confirmed by Qiansong, and Kongfeng has admitted to them. Therefore, Kongfeng is sentenced to three years of penance at Tiesuodu and Siguoyan, enduring all hardships and suffering—Kongfeng, do you understand?"

Kongfeng replied, "Kongfeng's behavior was improper, and I accept the punishment!" He bowed three times to the ancestors' tablets and said loudly, "I know my mistake today and regret it deeply. The punishment from the uncles is just!"

He then bowed again.

The disciples looked at each other, some in shock, some in confusion, and some asking about Bayue. Baihe immediately called out three disciples to escort Kongfeng to Tiesuodu and assigned someone to bring him food daily.

Miaofeng was among those chosen to escort Kongfeng.

PS: I recommend a book: "Wuzang Fengyun" by Xiaosixu. In the six realms of existence, the heavens are merciless, and ordinary people are trapped like pawns, endlessly reincarnating. Is this fate or a conspiracy?
