"Who says he's not guilty?"
Lv Yuankai swept a glance at Qin Yi and said indifferently, "No matter what the reason, killing a fellow disciple is a serious crime! My Brushing Willow Sect has always done things according to the rules, and this time will not be an exception. "
Then, he looked at Qin Yi. "Direct disciple Qin Yi should have been sentenced to death for killing a fellow disciple, but in consideration of the fact that he killed someone who wielded a demonic sword and harmed a fellow disciple, this sect master has chosen to be lenient. Today, you will be punished to reflect on your mistakes in seclusion for a month and forfeit your salary for half a year. Qin Yi, do you have any objections? "
Qin Yi thought for a moment before replying, "Replying Sect Master, this disciple has no objections!"
Truthfully, Lv Yuankai's punishment couldn't be considered a punishment. A month of seclusion was but a moment for a martial artist. Normal seclusion would take at least a few months.
A month of time was truly too short for a martial artist. Most importantly, Lv Yuankai had just called Qin Yi a direct disciple. In other words, from now on, Qin Yi was no longer an elite disciple, but a direct disciple.
Wasn't this the reason he had bitterly cultivated for several months and worked so hard in the disciple test?
Now that his goal had been achieved, what did this bit of punishment count for?
However, this kind of result couldn't be considered satisfactory to Xia Xiu Zhu! Xia Xiu Zhu wasn't an idiot. How could he not see that this Lord Sect Master was biased towards Qin Yi?
Unfortunately, although he was the sect's First Elder and above tens of thousands of people, in front of the true Sect Master, what did he count for?
Even if he knew that the other party was biased towards Qin Yi, he couldn't make any rebuttal.
Without a doubt, he had lost this battle, and he had lost thoroughly! Not only had he lost two disciples that he had painstakingly trained, but he had also lost face in front of Chu Zhenghao.
Now that he thought about how he had targeted Qin Yi back then. A trace of memory appeared in his heart. If he had been a bit more lenient towards Qin Yi back then, perhaps the situation wouldn't have turned out like this.
Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world. Since he had already done it, there was no room for him to undo it.
Because of this, his hatred for Qin Yi had reached its peak, even surpassing his hatred for Chu Zhenghao.
At this moment, he was looking at Qin Yi with a murderous look in his eyes.
Without a doubt, if the conditions allowed it, he would kill Qin Yi at all costs. Unfortunately, the current situation was far from good. In addition to the importance that Lv Yuankai attached to Qin Yi, the current him simply did not have the capital to deal with Qin Yi.
After announcing Qin Yi's punishment, Lu Yuankai said, "Now that one of the participating disciples has died, I think there is no need to continue the disciple assessment. This battle could be considered to have determined the rankings. Qin Yi, Yun Die 'er, your group is fully deserving of the first place. The two of you, other than being promoted to direct disciples, will also receive other rewards. As for Yun Die 'er's reward, this Sect Master will carefully consider it before making a decision. As for Qin Yi, the punishment I gave you before, how about we offset the reward and punishment? "
When Qin Yi heard this, he hurriedly expressed his thanks. "Many thanks, Sect Master."
This way, although there would be no reward, there would also be no punishment. Although the reward and punishment were not important to him now, it was still quite good for him to be exempted from the punishment of restricting his personal freedom.
Even if he could spend this month cultivating, if something happened and he still had this punishment, wouldn't he be greatly restricted?
"Sect Master, this subordinate suddenly feels unwell. Please forgive me and allow this subordinate to take his leave."
Xia Xiu Zhu's expression was extremely ugly as he requested to leave.
Lv Yuankai glanced at Xia Xiu Zhu and said, "It is understandable that Elder Xia is grieving over the loss of his beloved disciple. You can leave first and take care of the funeral matters for your two disciples. "
"Many thanks, Sect Master."
Seeing that the other party didn't even say a word of consolation, Xia Xiu Zhu finally couldn't take it anymore. He excused himself and left the arena.
Before leaving, he glanced at Qin Yi. The coldness in his eyes was like that of a venomous snake that wanted nothing more than to bite Qin Yi to death.
Qin Yi naturally saw the other party's gaze, but he didn't take it to heart. After all, hatred was something that appeared in other people's hearts. He couldn't stop it, so he naturally wouldn't. No matter who it was, as long as they provoked him, he wouldn't let them off easily.
His gaze then shifted to Lv Yuankai. When he saw the other party's smiling expression, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. "Perhaps I can use this opportunity to indirectly ask about my elder sister and the others."
However, just as he was about to speak, Chu Zhenghao said, "Qin Yi, you've used up a lot of energy in this battle. You should hurry back and rest. If there's anything else, we'll talk about it later. "
Qin Yi glanced at Chu Zhenghao in confusion, then frowned slightly. In the end, he didn't say anything else. He excused himself and left the arena with Yun Die 'er and the others.
… …
Along the way, they could see the Brushed Willow Sect disciples standing on both sides of the road. Every time they saw Qin Yi, they would look at him with reverence.
"It seems that no matter what, strength is the key factor in determining the attitude of others."
The corners of Qin Yi's mouth rose slightly as he calmly thought to himself. As the victor, he would receive the attention of others. This was understandable. He didn't take these matters to heart. It was fine as long as these people didn't come up to disturb him.
Right now, his mind was occupied with another matter. "Why did Master interrupt me just now?"
Back then, it was Chu Zhenghao who told Qin Yi that as long as he won, he would be able to obtain information about Qin Zhen and the others. However, when he really had the chance, Chu Zhenghao had interrupted him. This was indeed a bit confusing.
"Could it be that there's another story behind this matter with my elder sister and the others?"
Thinking of this possibility, Qin Yi suddenly felt that he couldn't sit still.
If this was really the case, then wasn't everything he had said before a lie?
"No! I must find an opportunity to get to the bottom of this! "
Qin Yi clenched his fists tightly. This matter could be said to have been his motivation all this time. If in the end, he found out that everything he had done was for nothing, then he really didn't know how to face himself and Qin Xiang.
Thinking of this, Qin Yi bid farewell to Yun Die 'er and the others, then quickened his footsteps and returned to his residence.
