"I am not wrong!"
"Bai Shengyi is not wrong! I have evidence!"
Bai Shengyi's cold voice and Li Xiaoxiao's voice rang out simultaneously.
Bai Shengyi looked at Li Xiaoxiao, who had suddenly burst in, and asked in confusion, "Fellow Daoist Li?"
"Uncle-Master Bai! Don't be afraid, I have evidence to prove that you and Junior Sister Feihua are not wrong."
Bai Shengyi looked at Li Xiaoxiao, whose voice trembled and shoulders shook with fear. She felt a mix of amusement and emotion, and comforted the young girl, "I'm not afraid, thank you."
She took a step forward, ensuring that if Elder Qing and Elder Zhang made a move on the young girl, she could help her in time.
As expected, Elder Zhang slapped Li Xiaoxiao directly.
"Get lost! Which peak are you from? Don't you know the Disciplinary Hall requires bystanders to withdraw when handling matters? When an elder speaks, what right do you have as a mere student to interrupt! Evidence? If my Disciplinary Hall says Bai Shengyi is wrong, it doesn't matter if there's evidence!"
"Is that so? Zhang Congyun, since when can you represent our Disciplinary Hall? I'm not dead yet!"
Ling Yue walked in from outside with a dark expression. Even he, who usually spoke little, was so angered that he swore, which showed how furious he was with Elder Zhang.
Li Xiaoxiao was the granddaughter of an old friend of Ling Yue. Upon hearing from Li Xiaoxiao that the Disciplinary Hall had arrested someone from the Beast Taming Peak without proper cause, and that it involved Bai Shengyi from the Thousand Skies Peak, Ling Yue immediately rushed over.
He looked at Elder Zhang, whose expression instantly changed, and said unhappily, "Disciplinary, disciplinary, you've lived over a hundred years, have you lived backwards? Or have you flattered Deputy Dean Xia so much that you've lost your senses?"
With Ling Yue's opening, he showed no respect for Elder Zhang.
Having started accepting disciples, Zhang was now being reprimanded in public until his face turned red. He stammered a defense, "Elder Ling, it's not like you say..."
But no one listened to his explanation.
"Fellow Daoist Li, can you show us the evidence?" Bai Shengyi said. "Since Elder Ling is here, let's clarify this matter properly."
"Yes," Ling Yue also said, while inwardly grumbling about Zhang Congyun.
Who could he have provoked? He had to provoke this one. Haven't you heard the gossip? This one has a close relationship with the Vice Dean, Qian Ying, Mo Shu, Xin, and others. Provoking her will bring no good?
Li Xiaoxiao was very scared but still mustered her courage and said, "I... I live next door to Junior Sister Feihua. I didn't dare to stop this fellow Daoist when he trespassed into Junior Sister's room, but I recorded it with a spirit-recording stone..."
As she spoke, a jade stone, like emerald, flew from her palm and projected into the air the scene of Luo Chenglì entering, throwing the cat, and provoking Luo Feihua...
Bai Shengyi had to marvel at the spirit-recording stone's function, comparable to the video recording capabilities of 23rd-century mobile federal computers. It could monitor students and record images. Although it had many limitations in its use, it was truly too convenient for certain matters, almost one of the greatest inventions by the alchemists of this world.
"Elder Ling, as you can see, Feihua fought with him because he threw my cat. Not to mention that in the Beast Taming Peak, the status of spirit beasts is equal to that of cultivators. Even if Luo Chenglì's behavior is not disciplined, will he break into other junior brothers' and sisters' rooms to beat or kill them in the future?"
Luo Chenglì was truly unlucky. If this had happened on another peak, his actions would only be considered cruelty to spirit beasts or pets. But the Beast Taming Peak was different.
Due to its special cultivation system, the Beast Taming Peak housed spirit beasts, demonic beasts, and cultivators together. To foster greater trust and closeness between disciples and spirit beasts, the Beast Taming Peak had established a rule from its inception: the status of spirit beasts within the peak was equal to that of humans.
When Bai Shengyi arrived earlier, she only managed to record Luo Chenglì ambushing Luo Feihua with a spirit-recording stone. It was not as complete as the spirit-recording stone in Li Xiaoxiao's possession.
At this moment, the spirit-recording stone fully captured Luo Chenglì's malice towards the crescent moon cat. However, it was less Luo Chenglì's malice towards the crescent moon cat and more towards Bai Shengyi.
Thinking of this, Bai Shengyi's gaze grew colder.
"As for what happened afterward, it was because he wanted to kill Feihua, and Feihua and I were acting in self-defense. Moreover, I didn't injure him at all. If you don't believe me, you can check if he has any internal or external injuries."
As Bai Shengyi finished speaking, the Qingsi Vine placed Luo Chenglì on the ground.
Luo Chenglì wailed incessantly. Ling Yue did not indulge his behavior and directly sealed his mouth with a spiritual technique, then checked Luo Chenglì's condition.
"Indeed, he is not injured."
Ling Yue said sternly, "This matter is clear. The fault lies with Luo Chenglì. Take him to the Disciplinary Hall for thirty lashes of the disciplinary whip. As for Zhang Congyun, you have abused your authority and trampled on the dignity of the Disciplinary Hall. I think you should no longer serve in the Disciplinary Hall."
"No! You have no right to do this!" Elder Zhang jumped up.
Elder Qing flicked his whisk. "Ling Yue, isn't this going too far? It's just a small matter."
"A small matter? They've bullied my sister to this extent, and you think the Luo family has no one?"
"A small matter? My disciples from the Thousand Skies Peak have never suffered such grievances!"
Two more figures strode in quickly.
"Senior Sister!" Bai Shengyi saw Qian Ying and quickly walked over, a smile appearing on her face. "Senior Sister, why are you here?"
"How dare you say that? You've been bullied right to your doorstep and you didn't even send me a message. If I hadn't happened to come over with Luo Feiying this time, would you have handled it yourself again?"
Qian Ying pinched Bai Shengyi's face and said unhappily, "Junior Sister, you're still a young girl. You can try to rely more on your senior sisters and brothers."
Bai Shengyi found these words somewhat familiar.
Before she could ponder further, Qian Ying had already shielded her.
With Qian Ying's arrival, Bai Shengyi no longer needed to step forward. Furthermore, Luo Feihua's sister, Luo Feiying, was also a very protective person. Seeing the injuries on Luo Feiying, she immediately stepped forward and slapped Luo Chenglì twice.
"Luo Chenglì, you've gotten ambitious, haven't you? Think you've entered the academy and your family can't control you anymore, right?" Luo Feiying said. "These two slaps are to tell you, don't think no one knows your little schemes. If there's a next time, I'll cripple you first!"
Qian Ying glanced at Luo Chenglì, and her aura directly pressed towards Elder Qing and Elder Zhang.
"Two esteemed elders, do you have an explanation for this Venerable?"
As the powerhouse of the Divine Revelation Academy, when Qian Ying was angry, even Wen Jiu and Yin Xia could retreat three steps, let alone these two ordinary elders.
Elder Zhang immediately knelt on the ground with a thud. Elder Qing, though trying to maintain his composure, looked far from relaxed.
"Venerable Qian Ying, don't go too far! Are you still following the rules!" Elder Zhang felt extremely humiliated, but he dared not confront Qian Ying, only attempting to pressure her with words.
"You're talking about rules with me?"
Her crimson, shimmering robes fluttered. Qian Ying's crimson eyes glowed, and her exceptionally beautiful face was filled with coldness.
She parted her lips and began to mock without reservation, "You were just using this to fool my junior sister, weren't you? Don't say that I, Qian Ying, am not breaking the rules right now. Even if I truly break the rules, what can you do to me?"
Qian Ying shouted sternly, "Be sensible and apologize to my junior sister quickly! Otherwise, you can wait and have a good spar with me at the Battle Stage!"
She emphasized the word "spar."
Watching her senior sister shielding her from the wind and rain, Bai Shengyi felt a strong sense of recognition and belonging towards Qian Ying and the Thousand Skies Peak for the first time.
Also, Senior Sister is so cool!
