Perhaps it was because it was boring to stay on Golden Court Mountain, and he could not leave the mountain easily. Now that there was fresh blood, Pan Zhong was naturally curious.
Mingshi Yin nodded casually.
Pan Zhong chuckled as he walked up to Zhu Honggong and sized him up.
He was a little chubby, not particularly tall, and looked a little stupid.
She was charmingly naive.
One look and you could tell that he was a pushover.
"I'm Pan Zhong. How should I address you, brother?" Pan Zhong tried to curry favor with him.
Zhu Honggong rolled his eyes at Mingshi Yin. He was about to lose his temper when Mingshi Yin coughed and swallowed his words.
Pan Zhong was not stupid. He thought that Mister Fourth would be able to subdue this newcomer with just a cough.
He nudged Zhu Honggong with his elbow and said, "Newbie, Mister Fourth is actually an easy-going person. Don't worry … From now on, we're brothers."
"Who's your brother?" Zhu Honggong said disdainfully.
Pan Zhong said, "You can't talk like that. Fortunately, it's in front of Mr. Fourth. If Mr. Third or Mr. Ninth were here, you'd be in trouble."
"…"
Where did this lunatic pop out from?
He looked like a teacher teaching a lesson!
Mingshi Yin raised a hand and said, "Get to work."
Zhu Honggong answered honestly, "Oh."
When he saw the female cultivators from the Derived Moon Palace who were repairing the steps nearby, his mood improved a little, and he ran toward them.
Seeing this, Pan Zhong whispered, "Mister Fourth, this newcomer is interesting. He knows how to work."
"It's not just work … From today onwards, he'll stay in the Cave of Reflection if there's nothing else."
"Cave of Reflection?" When Pan Zhong heard this, he felt nervous. "It's not easy for the Evil Sky Pavilion to recruit a new disciple. Aren't you afraid of disappointing the other disciples by doing this?"
"Don't worry … Not only will he not feel cold, he'll even feel grateful."
Mingshi Yin turned around and left.
Pan Zhong was baffled. He did not plan to cultivate the Six Yang Technique. Instead, he observed Zhu Honggong with great interest.
Zhu Honggong worked hard. He did whatever he had to do. He took on all the hard and heavy labor.
Zhu Honggong did not utter a single word of complaint even after half a day had passed.
When the sun set in the west, Zhu Honggong sat down to rest.
Pan Zhong walked over and gave him a thumbs up. "Brother, you can do it."
"What do you mean? “
"A newbie should have the awareness of a newbie … I really admire you."
"It's nothing …" Zhu Honggong said smugly.
Pan Zhong sighed and said, "When I first came up the mountain, I didn't have your awareness and was beaten up quite a bit."
"Take a beating?"
"That's right …" Pan Zhong looked around and said in a hushed tone, "Brother, the disciples of the Evil Sky Pavilion have strange tempers. If you're not careful, you'll get yourself into trouble."
Zhu Honggong frowned.
He looked at Pan Zhong.
"Eccentric?" Zhu Honggong asked, puzzled.
"The person you saw just now is the Evil Sky Pavilion's fourth disciple, Mingshi Yin. He appears gentle, but he's actually quite unreasonable … Mister Third, Duanmu Sheng, is fine. He's the same on the outside, but he's not one to be trifled with … Also, don't be deceived by the Evil Sky Pavilion's youngest disciple, Ci Yuan 'er. She's temperamental and hot-tempered. You should keep your distance from her," Pan Zhong said seriously.
When he mentioned Little Yuan 'er, he was slightly taken aback.
He recalled the scene in the Evil Sky Pavilion earlier. Little Yuan 'er was indeed fierce.
Zhu Honggong looked at Pan Zhong, who had a face full of gossip, and asked curiously, "Have you heard of the Evil King?"
"The Evil King?" Pan Zhong wore a disapproving expression as he continued to say, "The Evil Sky Pavilion doesn't think much of him. The Evil King is just a name to scare people. He's only in the Divine Court realm. I might not even be a match for him … You don't seem to be feeling well."
Zhu Honggong was not just feeling well.
His eyes were burning with anger.
Cough!
Mingshi Yin had appeared nearby at some point.
His cough immediately extinguished Zhu Honggong's anger.
When Pan Zhong saw this, he nodded inwardly. A newcomer should have the self-awareness of a newcomer.
Mingshi Yin said, "Pan Zhong."
"What's your order, Mister Fourth?"
"Seal his cultivation base … Send him into the Cave of Reflection to reflect on himself," Mingshi Yin said.
When Pan Zhong heard this, he was shocked. He said incredulously, "Mister Fourth, he's only a newcomer. Isn't this too harsh?"
"Do as I say."
"Understood."
Pan Zhong had no choice but to walk up to Zhu Honggong and whispered, "I'm sorry, brother. Bear with it."
Zhu Honggong did not have any objections.
Pan Zhong nodded inwardly. 'This newcomer's self-awareness is extraordinary.'
In no time at all, Mingshi Yin had completely sealed Zhu Honggong's cultivation base.
Zhu Honggong turned to face Pan Zhong. He patted Pan Zhong's shoulder and said, "Wait for me …"
"There's no need to be so polite. We're on the same side," Pan Zhong said.
Zhu Honggong rose to his feet and followed Mingshi Yin to the Cave of Reflection.
At this moment …
A green-clad figure descended from the air. He looked down and said, "Eighth Senior Brother!"
'Eighth Senior Brother?'
Pan Zhong turned and looked in the direction of the voice. He saw the Evil Sky Pavilion's ninth disciple, Little Yuan 'er. She stood with her hands on her hips as she looked down at Zhu Honggong.
Zhu Honggong stopped in his tracks. He turned around and said with a smile, "Little Junior Sister?"
'Little Junior Sister?'
Little Yuan 'er said, "Master has ordered me to supervise the punishment … Fourth Senior Brother, don't forget about it."
"…"
"…"
If Pan Zhong still could not understand the relationship between the two of them, he would have lived his life in vain.
Pan Zhong's throat felt dry and bitter.
His eyelids twitched.
Mingshi Yin shook his head helplessly and said, "Old Eighth … Don't blame me. Don't worry, I'll try my best to hold back."
Zhu Honggong looked at Little Junior Sister with a tearful expression on his face.
Mingshi Yin pulled Zhu Honggong along.
He was beaten up!
Wails that sounded like pigs being slaughtered resounded in the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Pan Zhong turned to look. His heart trembled as well.
'Is this considered holding back?
He should be going all out, right? '
"Ding! Punished the eighth disciple, Zhu Honggong. Reward: 100 merit points."
The punishment was over.
Mingshi Yin was pleased. He waved his hand and brought Zhu Honggong to the Cave of Reflection.
"Brother Pan?" Zhou Jifeng walked over from afar with his sword on his back.
"Brother Pan, what's wrong? You look pale. Are you ill? "
Zhou Jifeng walked up to Pan Zhong.
Pan Zhong's eyes widened as he muttered, "I … I think I'm in trouble …"
Meanwhile.
Inside a hidden chamber in the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Lu Zhou had been meditating on the Heavenly Writing scrolls for some time. When he felt refreshed, he opened his eyes.
At the same time, he heard the notification of the reward for punishing Zhu Honggong.
He looked at the merit points on the system dashboard again.
He was slightly more than 1,000 merit points away from purchasing the Seven Star Soul.
"Master … Hua Wudao requests an audience." Little Yuan 'er's voice rang from behind him.
"Alright."
Lu Zhou rose to his feet slowly. He opened the door to the hidden chamber and walked toward the great hall.
Hua Wudao stood respectfully in the great hall.
A moment later, he saw Lu Zhou walking toward him slowly.
"Greetings, Pavilion Master." Hua Wudao bowed and greeted Lu Zhou.
"Have you thought it through?"
Hua Wudao nodded. "Yes."
"Very good."
"I'm just curious. The Evil Sky Pavilion has so many treasures. What do you need the sable magnolia for?" Hua Wudao asked, puzzled.
