The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 222 - Punishment of the Elder
By morning Xin Fai woke up from her sleep while looking around where Huang Kun was falling asleep. They did not return to the inn overnight and instead fell asleep under a tree, likely worried by them.
Soon after that he woke up, the sky was still a bit dark and had not given rise to sunlight at all. Xin Fai took out a book he had taken from the Mad Demon, he studied the contents within with focus while waiting for Huang Kun to wake up.
Almost an hour he studied and practiced the books of Mad Satan but Huang Kun also never woke up. Xin Fai studied the book of lightening that body in his subconscious and made the actual duration of the exercise only one hour into one day.
Xin Fai took a deep breath feeling the strength in her body getting bigger. Natural energy is constantly entering his body, whether it has side effects or not but so far he has not found any problems.
"Senior Huang, wake up early." Xin Fai shook the young man's shoulder, he just turned around with a lazy sigh.
"Hee... This kid's waking up from here!" his grunts were irritated, he approached then shook Huang Kun's body even harder.
"Senior! Wake up!"
Huang Kun did not respond, he muttered indistinctly making Xin Fai even more anxious. The people in the sect must have been worrying about the two of them for not coming home all night and Huang Kun was instead delicately sleeping in this place.
"Ck, Senior are you a human or a buffalo? Get up quick."
Once again Xin Fai was confused after the time he had not managed to build Huang Kun, he gazed towards the front where a green lake lay wide. "Morning lake water is indeed the best, Senior Huang wants me to bathe no?"
Feeling Huang Kun was still busy with his dreamland Xin Fai had no other choice, he pulled Huang Kun's collar while smiling cunningly.
"Lumayan, I want to see my training progress as well."
He pitched a square with a straight gaze toward the lake a hundred meters ahead, after doing the count Xin Fai galloped nonstop. His running speed exceeded the speed of a wild horse and could be said to be already on par with a Mad Demon.
Huang Kun let out an erratic scream making his mouth full of air, the young man cursed loudly during the journey even when he was released still Huang Kun was grumbling. "You're! Should've told me to run like that!"
"Mishew himself even sleep."
Huang Kun was still snorting but he still followed Xin Fai who washed his face on the edge of the lake, the water in that place was so cold that even the steam was very thick floating on it. Huang Kun shuddered unable to endure the cold, he left from there.
"Fai'er, we should go to the dorm before Senior Li comes!"
"Looks like you don't have to worry about that anymore..."
"You mean?" Huang Kun furrowed his brows.
A little afraid as well Xin Fai when pointing at someone behind Huang Kun, that cruel look full of intimidation had not seen him for very long since the past 7 years.
Huang Kun turned around and was immediately startled when he met Li Yong's gaze.
"You already know that disciples are forbidden to leave the sect at night, don't you?"
"I-yes, I'm sorry. I was wrong."
Xin Fai sneaked away from the place, she naturally did not want to be told to sit down one day hearing the advice of the elderly parents who spoke sluggishly like a turtle. But presumably in terms of escaping Xin Fai was indeed lame, had not stepped foot alone Li Yong already knew his intentions.
"Fai 'er! You must also be punished!"
"I'm not a student, Senior Li. I'm a guest."
Li Yong was speechless realizing that the words had a point as well, he seemed to be thinking carefully again.
Feeling unfair, Huang Kun spoke up. "Senior Li, I was with him all night here! If I get punished, he'll have to get it too!"
"Senior Huang's.."
"Yes, Fai'er. It will teach you the meaning of solidarity and friendship. Now you two come with me to the Hall of Discipline."
Huang Kun gave a wide grin glad to be able to bring his difficult friend along, he embraced Xin Fai half-dragging him. While walking towards the Huang Kun sect was still chattering as usual, some of the sect disciples greeted Huang Kun during the journey. It seemed that the young man had many acquaintances in this place.
Xin Fai himself could only duck, he thought of the schedule of the Holy Sword Alliance's departure after this. There was one nearby village that they were going to visit and indeed long ago Xin Fai wanted to come. The village was Daan Village, a place that was the safest and most prosperous, so the news was often heard by him.
Arriving at the Hall of Discipline they were welcome to sit and face to face with an elderly elder, as the alleged way the elder spoke was indeed slow even pouring water in a cup only he was exhausted. Occasionally the elder coughed, Huang Kun scratched his nape several times feeling uneasy. While Xin Fai let the elder speak, he also paid great respect to the man.
Half an hour later they were forced to sit in the same position, Huang Kun began to feel a tingling sensation in his legs. The young man twitched in breath at once, Xin Fai held back a laugh looking at Huang Kun's face. It's really nice to see people in distress.
At the same time Zhu Yue passed through the hall, she stopped with the four people behind her and peeked out from behind the door.
"Woh... That's our leader! She punished?"
"Hahaha, Chairman Xin has the law. I've even realized by now, that the Chairman is very young regardless of his character."
"Yes, I agree with you. Where is there a young swordsman who has a leadership spirit as great as Chairman Xin."
Zhu Yue finally responded. "Already, already. It's not time to gossip. After this I'll share our income from the gifts the Mayor gave us. You invite the others to join, I'll wait."
"What about Chairman Xin?"
"Chairman Xin ordered this to me, don't you see he's being lectured? How was the story of him splitting the income while hearing the elder nagging?"
The four warriors in front of him chuckled, they saluted for a while before dispersing rounding up the other comrades.
Zhu Yue turned her head back towards the door of the hall, she sneaked a sneak peek and could clearly see the two young men before an elder. What was questioned by him was only one, why was Xin Fai's body shrouded in a strange aura. Despite trying to be hidden yet Zhu Yue could sense that clearly.
With his head lowered as if regretting his actions, the Lotus Temple elder did not realize now that Xin Fai had turned to his subconscious. Of course a diomeli like this would take quite a long time and he chose to use that time for practice.
