Chapter 234 Punishment
"Senior Brother Bai, what are you doing here? And it looks like you and Senior Brother Lin were fighting?" one of the disciples asked Bai Ke in confusion.
"Well, I'd like to tell you what actually happened. Today wasn't my first day as a deacon in the Enforcement Hall, so I was supposed to be patrolling around."
Just now, during my inspection, I heard some news about Junior Brother Lin. You must have heard about what happened in the sect's main hall.
Although Junior Brother Lin Xiu and I don't get along usually, as your senior brother, I still need to maintain some composure.
So, when I heard about it from others, I thought of my junior brother Lin Xiu's health condition and decided to come and visit him.
But who would have thought that Junior Brother Lin Xiu would have such a big opinion about me now? Perhaps I said something unintentionally that made Junior Brother Lin Xiu feel uncomfortable.
That's why they attacked me. I couldn't fight back, so I could only run and dodge. Look at the state of the once beautiful reception room now!
As he spoke, Bai Ke pointed to the hall that had been smashed into ruins, a helpless expression on his face.
The two disciples had witnessed this scene when they first entered, and they had also heard Senior Brother Bai trying to comfort Lin Xiu in the corridor.
In this way, what they saw and heard matched Bai Ke's words even more. Therefore, the two of them did not ask any further questions and believed Bai Ke's words without a doubt.
This is where Bai Ke's cleverness lies. He combines these situations, some real and some fake, making it impossible for anyone to find any flaws.
He had confirmed that no one else was present when the two of them made their move, and he wasn't worried about being exposed. This was the main reason why he dared to say that to his two disciples.
"I see. Senior Brother Bai is indeed magnanimous. Lin Xiu treated you so well, yet you still spoke kindly to him. Apart from you, I'm afraid very few people could do that!"
"You flatter me, you flatter me. I was just doing my duty. I meant well, but I ended up doing something wrong. I am truly ashamed!"
Upon hearing this, the disciple who had spoken earlier was about to say something more when Bai Ke's voice rang out again, interrupting him.
"By the way, I wonder why you two came to Lin Xiu's Lingyue Peak today? What brings you here?"
"Oh, we've come here today because the sect elders and sect leader have released the results of their reward and punishment decisions for Lin Xiu's performance during this training trip. The elders sent us to Lingyue Peak to announce them."
"Oh? The results are in? I wonder how the sect leader and elders will deal with Junior Brother Lin!"
"Lin Xiu's performance this time was evident to all, and the situation is not optimistic!"
"Oh? How do you say this?"
"Never mind, we're here today to announce the results anyway. Senior Brother Bai, you'll have to know sooner or later, so I'll tell you now in advance!"
Because Senior Brother Lin Xiu's performance in this training was really bad, after discussion among the sect leader and elders, they decided to punish him by making him face the wall for a month.
"Not only that, but a month from now, Senior Brother Lin Xiu will have to go to the Aksu mine, which belongs to Tian Ce Palace, to guard it for six months. I think this punishment is a bit too lenient." Another disciple replied.
"So that's how it is!" Bai Ke said with a thoughtful expression, his eyes seemingly gazing into the distance.
"Actually, I also heard that the reason why the result was so lenient was because Elder Xing Jian, the father of Senior Brother Lin Xiu, used his connections to get it done."
After all, he only had one son, and who would be willing to let their child suffer like that? Elder Xing Jian originally wanted to make the punishment for Senior Brother Lin Xiu even lighter.
However, the sect leader said that this was already the best possible outcome. If the punishment for Senior Brother Lin Xiu were to be any lighter, the other disciples might not be satisfied.
"If any disciple were to follow Senior Brother Lin Xiu's example and commit a grave mistake, it would be a real problem." Elder Xing Jian, hearing this, refrained from further objection and accepted the arrangement.
"It seems that Junior Brother Lin really has a good father!"
"Hehe, we can only be envious! But Senior Brother Bai, your father, Elder Bai Zhang, is also extraordinary. Why would you envy Senior Brother Lin Xiu?"
“I don’t envy him at all! Because I would never let myself make such a big mistake, and I would never let my dad clean up my mess! I will not let myself end up like him.”
Bai Ke looked at Lin Xiu, who had collapsed on the ground, and said calmly. For some reason, although Bai Ke appeared much the same as before,
But for some reason, Bai Ke, who was standing in front of them, seemed like a king, exuding an aura that they couldn't quite put their finger on.
In any case, that aura was enough to intimidate them and make them truly submit from the bottom of their hearts.
Seeing the two of them staring at him blankly, he stretched out his right hand and waved it in front of their eyes, saying, "Hey! You two, what are you thinking about!"
The two men, having regained their senses, smiled sheepishly when Bai Ke asked them a question. Looking at Bai Ke's expression now, the feeling he had given them earlier was gone.
If the two of them hadn't experienced it firsthand, they probably wouldn't have believed that it was their senior brother.
"By the way, since you've been ordered to come and tell Lin Xiu about the consequences the sect leader and elders have imposed on him, what should you do with him in his current state?"
"There's no other way but to help him up and use our spiritual power to wake him up." After saying that, the two walked up to Lin Xiu, bent down, took his arm, and pulled him up.
Then he dragged him to a relatively intact chair, preparing to welcome Lin Xiu with his spiritual power. Bai Ke saw that he had almost achieved his goal.
He was worried that when Lin Xiu woke up and regained his senses, he might see him and remember what had just happened, and then say something in front of the two disciples.
If I can't cover it up and those two disciples start to doubt what I just said, then it would be a huge loss.
So, before Lin Xiu woke up, he quickly said goodbye to the two disciples, "Um, well, you guys go ahead and do your thing, I also have something to do."
I still have to continue my patrol, so I won't bother you any longer.
"That'll save Junior Brother Lin Xiu from getting emotionally unstable and doing something crazy after waking up and seeing me. I'll be going now, you guys carry on!"
The two disciples responded in unison. Bai Ke smiled and nodded, then quickly walked out of the Green Bamboo Garden and left Lingyue Peak.
Having just tricked Lin Xiu, Bai Ke was in a good mood. He hummed leisurely as he continued to patrol the other peaks until evening. After reporting to the Enforcement Hall, Bai Ke returned to the Discipline Cliff.
As soon as he reached the entrance, Ah Can saw Bai Ke walking in. "Young Master, you're back! How was it? How was your first day reporting to the Enforcement Hall?"
