No wonder it was like this. A Junior Brother who was usually incomparably stupid had suddenly amazed the world with a single brilliant feat. Moreover, in the Seven Peak Martial Competition that was held once every sixty years, he had slaughtered his way into the final round.
Under Tian Boli's aggressive gaze, Zhang Xiaofan's forehead was dripping with sweat. There was a moment when he almost blurted out and told his master that it was Junior Apprentice Brother Mu who was guiding him in his cultivation behind his back.
However, when the words reached his mouth, he swallowed them. He was no longer the ignorant youth from five years ago. He knew that there were some things that could be said and some things that could not be said.
"Your disciple is stupid. In these years, my cultivation has not improved much."
Zhang Xiaofan lowered his head, not daring to meet Tian Boli's gaze. He said slowly, "A few days ago, your disciple suddenly discovered that I could control things. But your disciple could not believe it, so I did not dare to report it to Master and Mistress. Who would have thought …"
Tian Boli sneered, "Who would have thought that you would amaze the world with a single brilliant feat this time!"
How could Tian BuYi be so easily deceived? His voice turned cold as he said, "You said you can control objects, but you need to be at least at the fourth layer of the Jade Clear Stage to do so. I asked Daren, and he only taught you the second layer of the technique. Then can you tell me, as your ignorant and inexperienced master, how did you bypass the third layer and cultivate to the fourth layer?"
When he said this, his voice had become extremely cold, and even carried a bit of killing intent. The disciples who heard this suddenly changed their expressions.
Zhang Xiaofan chose to remain silent. The guest room was silent.
After a long time, just as Tian Boli's face became more and more ugly, and the disciples became more and more worried, he knelt down under Hidi's curious gaze.
Tian Boli was not moved at all. He said coldly, "What?"
Zhang Xiaofan lowered his head and did not look around. He said in a low voice, "Master, please punish me."
Everyone was moved. Tian Boli was so angry that his expression changed. Su Ru frowned, "Xiaofan, if you have any concerns, just tell your Master. Why do you have to do this?"
Zhang Xiaofan knelt on the ground, motionless.
Tian BuYi laughed coldly, he was so angry that he laughed, and said, "Very good, you are a tough nut to crack. I have also accepted a good disciple, to hide it from me."
Zhang Xiaofan prostrated himself on the ground, his body trembling. No one knew what he was feeling or what his expression was. After a moment, he said in a low voice, "Everything is my fault. Master, please punish me."
Tian BuYi suddenly stood up. With a 'bang', the chair under him exploded into pieces. Everyone's expression changed. He pointed at Zhang Xiaofan and angrily said, "It's all your fault. Ha … Do you know that it is a big taboo for us Qing Yun Men to betray our masters and steal their skills? If it's light, we'll face the wall for decades. If it's heavy, we'll lose our cultivation and be expelled from Qingyun.
Do you know? "Zhang Xiaofan suddenly raised his head and looked at Tian BuYi. He saw that his Master's face was full of anger, but there was no trace of exaggeration. His heart could not help but sink.
Of course, he knew the consequences of the Qing Yun Sect betraying their master and stealing their skills, but in the end, he did not turn around to take a look. The guest room was dead silent. No one opened their mouths to say a word. Only the sound of panting could be heard.
At this moment, Mu Qingxiao stepped forward and bowed slightly, "Master, it was your disciple who was bold enough to pass on the rest of the skills to senior apprentice-brother Zhang."
Zhang Xiaofan's body trembled. His heart was filled with gratitude. He could have stayed out of it, but he did not expect that Mu Qingxiao would be willing to stand up for him at this time.
Tian BuYi paused. He was the one who brought Zhang Xiaofan to Bamboo Peak. No one knew better than him how talented he was. Even if the skills were passed on to him, it was impossible for him to improve so much in such a short time. There must be something fishy going on.
Mu Qingxiao and Zhang Xiaofan had been very close in these years. The disciples of Bamboo Peak all knew that it was not impossible for her to secretly pass on the skills to Zhang Xiaofan. He found a reason to spare Zhang Xiaofan.
With Mu Qingxiao taking the lead, Song Daren forced his weak body to kneel down. The other disciples all knelt down in front of Tian BuYi and said, "Master, please spare junior apprentice-brother."
Hidi also quickly ran to Tian BuYi and knelt down. Her face was pale. At this moment, Zhang Xiaofan was very special in her heart. Naturally, she did not want him to be hurt at all. She said, "Father, please spare Xiaofan."
Tian BuYi looked at the group of disciples and his beloved daughter kneeling at his feet. He then stared at Zhang Xiaofan in front of him and glanced at Mu Qingxiao. He slowly closed his eyes, shook his head, and walked out.
Suru looked at the crowd, shook her head and sighed softly. She said to Song Daren and the others, "You guys are really troublesome. Get up quickly. I will go and see your master."
"Yes, Master's wife."
In the room, everyone looked at each other. After a while, Hidi came forward and supported Zhang Xiaofan. Zhang Xiaofan's face was full of smiles. Then the two of them started to whisper.

.....
At this time, night had already fallen. On the Cloud Sea Square, the clouds were still there. It was as beautiful as a fairyland.
Tian BuYi stood in the middle of the square and looked up at the sky. There were countless stars in the night sky and the moon was as cold as frost. Behind him, there was a familiar sound of footsteps. Suru walked to his side and looked up at the stars. She smiled faintly and said, "Are you feeling better?"
Tian BuYi snorted coldly but did not speak.
Suru smiled slightly and said, "We have been together for so many years. We know each other very well. Even if Xiaofan betrayed his master, he would at most be given a small punishment. You just had to pretend to be angry. You are already a few hundred years old. You really want to keep up appearances."
Tian BuYi looked at the night sky and did not say a word.
Tian BuYi turned his head and stared at Suru. He said, "It is not like you did not see it. That brat is like that. Master, please punish me. It is obviously his fault. How dare he say it as if he was wronged. This is ridiculous."
Suru looked back at the direction of the accommodation and said, "I don't believe that you did not see it."
Tian BuYi said, "What?"
"Ling 'er's appearance is a little strange. Between her and Xiaofan … then how are you going to deal with it when you go back. The crime of betraying one's master is not a small one. Why don't we not go too far for the sake of Ling' er and Qing Xiao. Tomorrow, let Xiaofan return to Bamboo Peak and face the wall at the back of the mountain for thirty to fifty years."
Tian BuYi stilled, snorted, and said, "Let's not talk about facing the wall. Didn't Qingxiao also say that the method was taught by him in private? If it is true, that girl Ling 'er will not let it go."
"Moreover, it was not easy for Bamboo Peak to enter the last round of the Seven Peak Martial Arts Competition. This is the first time in a hundred years. We cannot let Cang Song and Shang Zhengliang take advantage of us. Tomorrow, let him continue to compete. If he wins, it is not impossible to let him be with Ling 'er."
