"Hey, you..! Can you take my seal off first? My body hurts if it continues to sit in this state," Xiao Shuxiang looked at Lan Guan Zhi who was writing not far in front of him.
Lan Guan Zhi only glanced at Xiao Shuxiang, he then continued his work without saying anything to the child.
Xiao Shuxiang stared in disbelief, were the disciples of the Sky Sword Sect taught not to care about others? Or, is there no written rule regarding helping others whose distress is kindness?
"For what five thousand rules are, if basic things like helping people are not applied.." Xiao Shuxiang went back to writing, he was not sure he could copy a thousand rules in one day. Especially if you have to endure the pain in his body.
The calm and aroma of sandalwood makes anyone who lives will feel calm. Were it not for enduring the pain in his body, perhaps Xiao Shuxiang would have long since fallen asleep.
The voice that was occasionally heard in this room was the sound of the paper behind, Xiao Shuxiang's breath and his grumbling.
Several times Xiao Shuxiang persuaded Lan Guan Zhi to take off the seal, only that the boy did not speak a word.
On the first floor within the Nine-Tiered Pagoda itself, it appeared that the disciples of the Sky Sword Sect were so busy. They were preparing for the arrival of representatives of disciples from the sects in the Three Streams.
Ethics Training, was an activity held by the Sky Sword Sect for once every 30 years. In this place, all the small, medium, as well as large sects present in the Three Streams could send their representatives to participate in the Ethics Training.
For the Black Stream, ethical training was simply not what they needed. However, only this chance alone could make them enter the Sky Sword Sect in a good manner.
The Sky Sword Sect was famous for its five patriarchs, being able to establish a relationship with one of the patriarchs was a great advantage.
Not to mention the four hills that have their own specialties, one of which is the Hill of Knowledge with the greatest various styles in it.
Only registered disciples in the Sky Sword Sect could go to this hill. They are allowed to learn whatever is available. To the black and white flow cultivators, the medicinal concocting books were their target.
In the Eastern Continent, there had not been a single sect that had a collection of medicinal recipe books as complete and as many as the Sky Sword Sect. And this medicinal recipe was desperately needed for Black Flow cultivators to be able to develop their artificial poison.
Lan Guan Zhi had just released the seal of Xiao Shuxiang when the child in front of him had already copied two hundred rules.
Xiao Shuxiang did not know the way Lan Guan Zhi released his seal, he gasped when he could suddenly feel the Qi again.
Soon Xiao Shuxiang began to slowly heal his wounds. Throughout the day, he continued to exist in the Nine Level Pagoda with Lan Guan Zhi.
Several times Xiao Shuxiang walked around the room only to rest for a while before starting to copy the rules back.
In the afternoon, Xiao Shuxiang was finally allowed to return to the Disciple Hall. His sentence was not yet fully completed, he still had to copy 700 more rules.
"I can't believe I actually copied that shitty rule.." Xiao Shuxiang shook his head as he stepped down the stairs. He could see many disciples of the Heaven Sword Sect who were so busy.
Yang Shu looked at his grandson, he started calling Xiao Shuxiang and asking about his circumstances. "Son, how's your condition?"
"Mm, it's kind of better." Xiao Shuxiang simply replied as if. "But Grandpa seems to be busy,"
Xiao Shuxiang noticed the large amount of paper documents on the old grandfather's desk.
Yang Shu, "It won't be long for the Sky Sword Sect to have many disciples in the various sects and you'll know it soon."
Feeling that this was none of Xiao Shuxiang's business, he began to say goodbye to his grandfather. Yang Shu advised Xiao Shuxiang not to cause any more trouble, he did not want to see his favorite grandson in the law like that.
The next day, Xiao Shuxiang woke up earlier than Jing Mi and Bao Yu, but he did not attend the lessons this morning.
Jing Mi and Bao Yu felt astonished because they thought that his brother had been in the Main Hall since this morning. They then began to search for Xiao Shuxiang's whereabouts. Only, their fellow-siblings were nowhere to be found.
Long searching, Jing Mi and Bao Yu heard the news that Lan Guan Zhi was dragging a child who turned out to be Xiao Shuxiang.
"He again..."
"This time it's a matter of what he's doing...?"
"Ck ck ck, he has no rapids at all..."
A few disciples shook their heads when they saw the child being dragged by Lan Guan Zhi turned out to be the one being discussed because of his actions yesterday.
Lan Guan Zhi this time did not drag Xiao Shuxiang to the Punishment Hall, but took him to the Level Nine Pagoda. Xiao Shuxiang grumbled at Lan Guan Zhi who made his butt hurt from several collisions with the stepfather.
"Lan Guan Zhi! Can't you just treat me a little more gently, huh? Where is your conscience? Don't you have a heart?!"
"......"
Lan Guan Zhi as if not listening to Xiao Shuxiang's curse, he just continued to drag this child all the way to his room again.
bruccous
Xiao Shuxiang snapped at Lan Guan Zhi who threw him away just like that. Slightly moaning, he rubbed his buttocks and back.
"Repeat your writing," Lan Guan Zhi threw the paper scroll Xiao Shuxiang wrote yesterday, and was immediately captured by the boy's right hand.
"Repeat...? It's not like I have to continue!!" Xiao Shuxiang opened the scroll in his hand, he was shocked because of the myriad red streaks on his writing.
"You... check it out?!"
Only with a gaze Lan Guan Zhi-Xiao Shuxiang understood that the 9-year-old checked the results of his writing. But what are these red streaks for?!
"Your writing is bad,"
Xiao Shuxiang's forehead twitched, did Lan Guan Zhi just comment on his handwriting?!
With a reddened face Xiao Shuxiang shouted, "The writing of my hand is the most beautiful on this Continent know...!"
Of course, the beauty of Xiao Shuxiang's writing was only acknowledged by himself. If people like Jing Mi or Hou Yong saw the writing, it was certain that they would immediately turn pale.
Xiao Shuxiang had just wanted to curse Lan Guan Zhi back, but suddenly there was the sound of knocking on the door, and the next second the door was opened by Patriarch Lan.
Patriarch Lan himself was in a meeting in the next room, yet he heard a shouting voice and directly came to this place immediately. He was quite jolted when he saw his sister along with a child who turned out to be quite familiar.
That day, Xiao Shuxiang had to continue sitting listening to the hospitality of Patriarch Lan. Especially after Patriarch Lan knew that the one who had been making a fuss was the grandson of Yang Shu, she also felt that it was her responsibility to advise and educate Xiao Shuxiang.
For the next two days. Every 5am, Lan Guan Zhi would go to the Disciple Hall to take Xiao Shuxiang to the Nine-Tiered Pagoda. If Xiao Shuxiang refused and like he was about to rebel, then he used the seal of his creation so that the child could do nothing.
Indirectly, the relationship between Lan Guan Zhi and Xiao Shuxiang began to intertwine. Although until now, Xiao Shuxiang had never heard Lan Guan Zhi speak more than one sentence.
Xiao Shuxiang was taught directly by Patriarch Lan about the sect rules that he should not violate. Yet still, Xiao Shuxiang had unintentionally and deliberately always broken the rules.
In fact, the name Xiao Shuxiang in the Punishment Hall already had many red stars. Which is evidence of his various behavior because he continues to violate sect rules.
Not only that, a few disciples of the Sky Sword Sect had now made Xiao Shuxiang their enemy, one of them being Sian Ru.
All of this was because Xiao Shuxiang was not only looking for trouble with Lan Guan Zhi, but also with the other disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect. And by accident, Xiao Shuxiang had made his own enemy.
Jing Mi, Hou Yong and his other friends couldn't believe that his brother had already made so much of a fuss in such a short period of time.
Yang Shu could only stroke his chest looking at the behavior of his granddaughter. It was fortunate that Xiao Shuxiang was not severely punished, just a light punishment like receiving ten blows or being assigned to sweep and pluck the weeds present in the Sky Sword Sect.
Although light, Xiao Shuxiang had to do it with his own hands and strength. He was not allowed to use Qi or any breathing techniques.
Xiao Shuxiang did not like being told to do this kind of thing. Yet rather than having to sit down and listen to the hospitality of the masters of the Heaven Sword Sect, let alone hear Lan Gaozu-s-s voice-she preferred to be punished.
There were two reasons why Xiao Shuxiang made a conscious fuss. First, because he doesn't like to learn. Second, he could every day enter the Level Nine Pagoda.
There are many books inside this Pagoda and it is possible -- one of them is about the Rooted Dantian.
Not many disciples were allowed to enter the pagoda without having a strong reason. Xiao Shuxiang, who had been repeatedly in and out of the Nine Level Pagoda, was already becoming widely known by the disciples of the Sky Sword Sect.
