Chapter 496: The Most Cruel Punishment

~5 min read 956 words

It was just in an instant, a large crowd of Dao-One Sect disciples rushed into the kitchen and surrounded Xiuling.

Looking at the many Dao-One Sect disciples around, Xiuling swallowed her saliva and said nervously.

"That... Senior Brothers, I... I really couldn't endure it, it was too fragrant."

By this time, Xiuling didn't dare to argue anymore and honestly admitted it.

Hearing this, the disciples stared at her fixedly without answering.

Just when Xiuling was panicked in her heart, Lu Youyou walked out of the backyard.

"Xiuling."

"Sister Youyou."

The two clearly knew each other, and it seemed their relationship was quite good.

Seeing Lu Youyou, Xiuling breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ran to her side.

"Let's go, Master and the others want to see you."

She said to Xiuling with a smile. Hearing this, although she was a bit timid in her heart, it was clear that she didn't have the power to refuse.

"Disperse, it's late at night, don't you need to cultivate?"

Saying this to the disciples, Lu Youyou took Xiuling to the backyard, and the disciples, seeing this, quickly dispersed.

Arriving at Until Hong Zun and Shi Song's room, at this time, Zhao Zhengping, Zhao Rou, Xu Jie, Zhong Ling, and others were all there.

Being brought into the room, Xiuling was like a good baby, lowering her head and not daring to look around.

Shi Song smiled kindly.

"Don't be so nervous, we won't do anything."

"Senior, I... I really couldn't endure it, so I..."

"Understood, understood. But you sneaking into the Dao-One Sect's station late at night, to put it plainly, is no different from a thief, right?"

Shi Song said slowly. Being treated as a little thief, Xiuling was anxious.

"I didn't... no, I didn't want to steal anything, I just wanted to smell the scent."

"I know, so you don't need to be so nervous. We won't do anything to you, it's just that there is a small favor I want you to help with."

Help?

Hearing this, Xiuling finally raised her head and looked at Shi Song carefully. As a small disciple, what favor could she help with?

Seeing Xiuling looking confused, Shi Song didn't sell it short and said directly.

"Actually, this old man has always liked your Master, but it's a pity that your Master is a person of the Buddhist faith, so I hope you can help me help your Master return to secular life."

"What?"

Hearing this, Xiuling was directly stunned. Let her help her Master return to secular life? Isn't this equivalent to betraying her Master?

She shook her head immediately without hesitation.

"No, no, I cannot betray my Master."

Seeing this, Shi Song patiently persuaded.

"How can this be betrayal? On the contrary, you are helping your Master."

"Helping Master?"

The little girl became more and more confused. This time Until Hong Zun spoke up.

"That's right, think for yourself, is the Dao-One Sect's strength stronger or the Kumu Nunnery's strength stronger?"

"Definitely the Dao-One Sect."

There was no comparison between the two. Seeing this, Until Hong Zun nodded and continued.

"Then do you think it's better to cultivate in the Dao-One Sect or in the Kumu Nunnery?"

"Dao-One Sect."

"Then do you hope to see your Master alone and lonely in the future, or have someone to accompany her?"

"Um... it's better to have someone to accompany her."

"Then that's right. Helping us is equivalent to helping your Master."

Until Hong Zun started to fool her again, and Xiuling was quickly confused by him.

It sounded like there was some truth to it.

Seeing Xiuling fall into deep thought, Until Hong Zun smiled slightly. This yellow-haired girl, could she still escape from his palm?

He thought it was done, but the next second, Xiuling gradually reacted.

"That's not right. Master is a person of the Buddhist faith and highly respects Buddhist law in her heart. If I help you, Master will definitely be unhappy, so I cannot agree."

Saying a thousand words and ten thousand words, isn't this still betraying her Master? No, absolutely not.

Xiuling was very filial to Abbess Jueqing. Seeing this, Until Hong Zun frowned, and at the same time, he felt a little envious.

Look, this is what a disciple should look like. Look at the ones he accepted; what are they?

He glanced at Zhao Zhengping and the others with dissatisfaction. People compare people and die of anger. Why is the gap between disciples so big?

Others are loyal to their Master, but these few dogs want to pit him, Until Hong Zun, to death. A group of rebellious disciples.

Being glared at for no reason, Xu Jie and the others were stunned. What's wrong? We didn't say anything.

You can't persuade Xiuling, and you take it out on us?

He didn't look anymore. The more he looked at these rebellious disciples, the angrier he got. Turning to look at Xiuling, Until Hong Zun continued to fool her.

"If you help us, there will be benefits for you."

"No, I will never betray my Master."

"Then I can only talk about you sneaking into the Dao-One Sect's station at night. You know, this action will be thrown into the dungeon in the Dao-One Sect."

"Even if I am thrown into the dungeon, I will not betray my Master."

After a round of threats and inducements, Xiuling, this little girl, didn't agree at all, shaking her head like a rattle.

Soft and hard didn't work. No matter what Until Hong Zun said, she wouldn't betray her Master and wouldn't help Until Hong Zun and the others deal with her Master.

In the end, Until Hong Zun was directly made anxious by his own words.
