Chapter 534 Rules
Chapter 534 Rules
"Chuan'er is tired and needs to rest. The most taboo thing is to have too many people."
Xu Hanyi spoke in a cold tone, his eyes sweeping over the curled-up figure on the ground.
"Ah."
Bai Zhi sneered, and the spiritual power around her suddenly surged.
"Chuan'er, you see, it's not that I won't let them go, it's that they don't want to leave."
Xu Hanyi narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, and took a step forward before she finished speaking. The long sword in her hand was filled with sharp sword intent and went straight for Bai Zhi's vitals.
"Enough! Stop it!"
Lin Chuan covered his heart and raised his head suddenly, his angry shout filled with suppressed pain.
The murderous intent in the air suddenly froze, and Bai Zhi and Xu Hanyi turned to look at Lin Chuan on the ground at the same time.
"Go back and be obedient, okay?" Lin Chuan's voice suddenly softened.
"..."
Bai Zhi pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.
"Go back, listen to Achuan. You can't do anything by staying here."
Jiang Wanying stood aside, her eyes slowly sweeping among the crowd.
"..."
"Husband, wait for me."
Bai Zhi took a deep breath, suppressed the reluctance and unwillingness surging in her heart, and walked out of the hall with a determined back.
"Sir, take care of yourself and wait for me."
Lin Wanxi's eyes were red as she looked at Lin Chuan deeply for the last time.
Ye Xiaoxiao beside him was still holding onto Lin Chuan's sleeve tightly, tears streaming down her face as she refused to let go.
Lin Wanxi gritted her teeth, grabbed Ye Xiaoxiao's wrist, and half-dragged and half-pulled her away. The two of them gradually disappeared outside the palace gate.
"Master, Achuan..."
Jiang Wanying looked at the pale-faced Lin Chuan and was about to speak when she was interrupted by Xu Hanyi's cold voice.
"Go back to your own place and reflect on your mistakes." Xu Hanyi's eyes were cold and his tone left no room for questioning.
"Master..."
Jiang Wanying opened her mouth unwillingly, trying to say something.
Xu Hanyi's eyes glared, and his tone became even colder and harder: "If you don't want to obey, Ying'er can leave at any time like them."
"..."
Jiang Wanying's lips moved slightly, but she didn't say anything in the end.
Her eyes were filled with worry. She glanced at Lin Chuan deeply, lowered her head, and whispered, "Disciple, I will go and reflect on my mistakes now."
After Jiang Wanying's figure disappeared outside the hall, the door slammed shut.
Xu Hanyi walked slowly in front of Lin Chuan, her white skirt sweeping across the ground.
"Does it hurt?"
She slowly squatted down, and lifted Lin Chuan's chin with her slender fingers, forcing him to look at her.
"..."
Lin Chuan pursed his lips, suppressed all the emotions surging in his eyes, and said nothing.
"It doesn't seem to hurt..."
Xu Hanyi spoke in a nonchalant tone, loosened his hand that was hooked around Lin Chuan's chin, and slowly moved his fingertips down, finally stopping at his heart.
"..."
Lin Chuan suddenly straightened his back, a suppressed groan escaped from his throat, his pale face became even more bloodless, and his whole body trembled slightly with pain.
"Chuan'er, why don't you ask me to be your master? If you ask me, I might not activate that sword energy."
Xu Hanyi raised the corners of his eyes slightly, and his fingertips moved vaguely over his heart.
"..."
Lin Chuan suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled the defenseless Xu Hanyi into his arms, then leaned his head forward.
……
Xu Hanyi froze in place, not knowing whether it was because he was too shocked to react, or because he subconsciously didn't want to break free. In the stagnant air, his heartbeat seemed to be stretched out.
After a long time, she pushed hard as if waking up from a dream, and pushed Lin Chuan away suddenly.
"Chuan'er, you are disrespecting your teacher again."
Xu Hanyi narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up with a hint of danger.
"My life is in Master's hands. If Master is dissatisfied, just kill me."
Lin Chuan looked up at Xu Hanyi, his chest heaving violently, his hair stained with cold sweat stuck to his pale face.
"..."
Xu Hanyi stared at Lin Chuan's stubborn face, and a smile suddenly spread across his lips.
She raised her fingertips lightly, and the sword energy in Lin Chuan's body instantly calmed down. "This time, consider it as compensation for punishing Chuan'er for so long."
She leaned closer, her warm breath brushing against his ear, "If Chuan'er is so unruly next time, I don't mind making him suffer."
As she finished speaking, her fingertips gently brushed across the side of his neck, leaving a faint chill.
Lin Chuan: "..."
"Since Chuan'er has chosen to come back and continue to be my disciple,"
Xu Hanyi suddenly took a half step back, putting some distance between him and Lin Chuan. His voice was so cold that no emotion could be heard. "Then Chuan'er should abide by the sect's rules."
"???"
Lin Chuan looked at Xu Hanyi with a confused look on his face. As far as he could remember, he seemed to have never heard Xu Hanyi and Jiang Wanying mention any rules of the sect.
"The first rule is that you are not allowed to treat your teacher with contempt."
"Secondly, to prevent Chuan'er from embarrassing me, you are not allowed to leave Tianjian Peak until your cultivation level surpasses mine. Otherwise, I will make sure you live in misery and die in despair."
"Third, I will check on Chuan'er's progress three times a day. If I am not satisfied, you will be punished."
"Rule 4: Master likes peace and quiet. No other woman except Ying'er may come to Tianjian Peak. Otherwise, Master will kill them all."
"The fifth point... I'll tell Chuan'er about it after I've thought it through."
Xu Hanyi spoke calmly, his expression calm, but with a hint of unquestionable majesty.
"..."
The corners of Lin Chuan's mouth twitched slightly. He knew that the so-called "second choice" given by Xu Hanyi not long ago would not be so simple.
Sect rules? They were nothing more than a golden cage that kept him trapped.
"Chuan'er, why aren't you talking? Do you have any objections to the rules set by your master?"
Xu Hanyi narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, and the corners of her lips raised with a subtle sense of oppression.
"Disciple has no objection."
Lin Chuan lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes and shook his head gently.
"It's fine if you don't."
Xu Hanyi nodded with satisfaction, then took light steps and walked towards the soft couch not far away.
"Master, if there is nothing else, I will go back to my own residence first." Lin Chuan's voice was steady and his expression was calm.
"Where does Chuan'er live?"
Xu Hanyi raised his eyebrows, a smile on his lips, "Where did Chuan'er get his place to live? The side hall belongs to me."
"Then I'll go to my senior sister." Lin Chuan pursed his lips and said softly.
"Ying'er needs to reflect on her mistakes."
Xu Hanyi leaned lazily on the couch, his tone nonchalant but revealing an unquestionable meaning.
"Then I will build a residence for myself." Lin Chuan sighed slightly, his words full of helplessness.
"Don't bother. I've already built a place for Chuan'er to live."
Xu Hanyi raised her slender hand slightly, and the cage nearby landed beside her. "How is it? Chuan'er, take a look and see if there's anything missing. I can add more to Chuan'er depending on the situation."
"..."
Lin Chuan wanted to refuse, but when his eyes fell on the blood-stained robe next to Xu Hanyi's brocade pillow, he sighed silently and finally nodded slightly:
"can."
