Si Li returned to the room as usual, and the moment he closed the door, he collapsed to the ground.

But he knew that his master was still outside the door, so he dared not make too much noise. Si Li looked exhausted. The conversation with his master took up too much of his mind. He sat there for a long time before getting up and meditating on the bed.

Si Li's mind was not immersed in cultivation. At this moment, closing his eyes and being undisturbed made his mind clearer.

He actually agreed with his master's suspicion that Lin Hao's cultivation had surpassed the limits of his spiritual roots.

Si Li once heard his master talking to the Pavilion Master and mentioned that the last person who possessed such a heaven-defying talent was his master, the Immortal Master Nanyou, and he was also one of the variables!

When the master mentioned this past event, he also sighed that the Immortal Nanyou was very lucky.

If it weren't for the man named Lin Yuxun who blocked the fatal blow for him, Immortal Master Nanyou would have died that year.

Although the Immortal Venerable Nanyou did not die, the damage he caused to him was not small. He had just reached the fusion stage at that time, and his cultivation could no longer advance even a little!

Perhaps because of this, the variables in him also disappeared.

However, Master and Pavilion Master did not want to reveal too much. After all, Immortal Master Nanyou was already in the fusion stage at that time, and he was already alert, so it would not be easy to attack him again. Master had no choice but to erase all traces and stop there.

Thinking that Lin Hao might also be a variable, Si Li became conflicted. He didn't know which side he should stand on if Lin Hao was really a variable.

It’s not that Si Li has such deep feelings for Lin Hao, he just doesn’t want to be left with insufficient chips if things really develop in a bad direction in the future.

Although he left a backup plan for Lin Jinxing, it was obviously not enough if he was alone, so he wanted more protection.

I hope Lin Hao is not that variable...

I also hope that those backup plans of mine will never have to be used...

Different from the solemn atmosphere on Si Li's side, Mu Zheng quickly returned to his residence after smearing Jun Buyi's mud, and patted his chest with some fear.

Luckily he escaped fast enough!

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Jun Buyi, who had changed his clothes, had already arrived outside his residence.

"Mu! Zheng! Come out here!"

The sound of Jun Buzhi gritting his teeth came from outside the room.

Jun Buzhi, who was always serious and calm in front of outsiders, was extremely irritable at this moment. This was a side of him that he had never shown in front of outsiders.

Mu Zheng's spirit, which had originally relaxed, was frightened and tensed up again by Jun Buyi's rage.

He looked at the door behind him warily, and after confirming that it was intact, he said in a firm tone, "I won't! Do you see the sign hanging on my door? As the senior brother who manages the Punishment Hall, come in and give it a try!"

Looking at the sign that would be put up whenever Mu Zheng provoked him, Jun Buzhi's face turned dark enough to look like ink could drip out.

There were only eight big characters written on the sign: "Practice in seclusion, please do not disturb."

"You use the same trick every time? Can't you try something else?" Jun Buyi's teeth were clenched.

"The trick doesn't have to be new, as long as it works well." Mu Zheng's smug voice came from inside the door, making Jun Buyi even more angry.

But Mu Zheng did have a hold on him.

Canghai Wuya has a rule that no one is allowed to disturb disciples while they are in seclusion, and as the eldest brother in charge of the Punishment Hall, he dare not violate the rules.

"Buyi, why did you run outside the courtyard of this kid Mu Zheng?"

Jun Buyi froze. He was very familiar with this majestic voice. When he turned around, the furious expression on his face had disappeared, and he returned to the serious and upright look he had when facing outsiders.

"Master."

Gong Yu nodded in response. "Well, you haven't answered my previous question yet. When did you become friends with Mu Zheng?"

Jun Buyi didn't know how to answer this question. He knew that his master always disliked people like Mu Zheng who didn't follow the rules. If he told the truth, Mu Zheng would inevitably be punished.

It was originally just a small friction between the two of them. If the master got involved, it would not be the same.

"Nothing, I just want to discuss something with Mu Zheng."

Jun Buyi had a stern face and a stiff tone at this moment.

He never lies, and this is the first time today.

Gong Yuyan's expression remained normal, he did not hear anything wrong. Perhaps he heard it, but out of trust in his disciple he did not doubt it.

Gong Yuyanming knew his disciple's character very well and knew that he would never lie.

Gong Yuyanming just wanted to give a few words of advice, telling him not to learn bad things from Mu Zheng, but at this moment he noticed the sign.

His tone changed from calm to stern as he said, "The other party is still practicing, but you just stood in front of his door and disturbed him. Have you learned all the rules I taught you?"

From the moment he told that lie just now, he knew that Master would definitely look like this after seeing the sign.

But this was the only way he could think of at the time without involving Mu Zheng.

Jun Buyi did not respond, but just lowered his head silently and listened to his master's lecture.

Jun Buyi didn't think there was anything wrong, as he was used to his master's lectures, but Mu Zheng inside the sect couldn't stand it anymore.

Even though he and Jun Buyi were not on good terms, this matter was caused by him, so he couldn't sit in the house and listen to the other person being scolded?

But when Mu Zheng thought of the fear he had experienced during those years when he was dominated by his master Jun Buyi, he couldn't help but shudder.

After mentally preparing myself for the moment, I finally gritted my teeth, pushed the door open and walked out.

At the moment of leaving, the determined expression on his face turned into a smile, and he said: "I'm sorry, this matter is my fault. We had agreed to meet at this time, but I forgot the time because of my cultivation. Please, Master Gong Yu, don't blame Zhi Jing."

Jun Buzhi's expression changed slightly. When Mu Zheng called out his Taoist name, a ripple appeared in his heart.

Usually Mu Zheng would call me by my full name, but this was the first time in all these years that I heard him call out his own Taoist name.

This name has been called by many people, but it feels different when it comes from Mu Zheng's mouth.

Gong Yu Yanming looked at Mu Zheng with a stern look after he finished speaking. Although there was no blame in his eyes, Mu Zheng subconsciously put away the smile on his face, and even his usually untidy standing posture became much more neat.

Mu Zheng was really afraid of the head of the Mingbian Hall of Wandao Sect.

Gong Yu Yanming had taught them for several years before. If Lin Jinxing and Jun Buyi were the most successful disciples he had ever taught, then he was the biggest shame in Gong Yu Yanming's career.

That incorrigible look is similar to Lin Hao's current appearance.

But it was a little different from Lin Hao. Lin Hao's behavior was somewhat deliberate. He was just envious of the pagoda and wanted to go in and experience it in advance.

Mu Zheng didn't want to be punished, but Gong Yu Yanming couldn't stand anything he did and always complained that he didn't know the rules and was not serious.

It can be said that in the eyes of Gong Yu Yanming, who has always attached great importance to rules and morality, Mu Zheng is the type of person he dislikes the most.
