Zhao Yuan roared like a shrew. She rolled up her sleeves and took out an exquisite talisman from somewhere. The talisman lit up in her hand, creating a series of fireworks!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The three colored fireworks immediately attracted the attention of the crowd.
"This is … the law enforcement signal?"
"What happened?
Let's go and take a look. "
A few female disciples curiously surrounded them. Shortly after, when they saw Qin Shi and Zhao Yuan, they were all shocked. They sighed as they discussed, "Eh, it's Zhao Yuan?"
"Yes, who is that kid? How dare he offend Zhao Yuan in public?
Isn't he crazy?
If it was before, it would be fine. But now, Zhao Yuan is Long Tingyan's true love. Isn't going against her the same as going against Long Tingyan? "
"That's right. And that Yu Yue is even more so. Yu Yue is the law enforcement deacon. When Long Tingyan comes, he will definitely teach him a lesson."
"This is going to be interesting."
More and more female disciples gathered around. Qin Shi couldn't help but frown.
Looking up at the fireworks, Haoyue sneered, "Haha, this woman is really unreasonable. She has done so many things against the sect's rules, and now she still dares to use the law enforcement signal?"
"What can I do? Who told her to be the law enforcement sister-in-law?"
Xu Qingfeng smiled indifferently. If it was before, he wouldn't have dared to do this. But with Qin Shi by his side, he really had nothing to fear.
After releasing the fireworks, Zhao Yuan angrily glared at Qin Shi, "Stinking brat, you actually dared to injure me. Just you wait, my man will be here soon. When he comes, I will definitely teach you a lesson!"
"You were the one who wanted to attack me. You were injured because you weren't strong enough. What does this have to do with me?"
"Stop talking nonsense!
I don't care. Either you apologize to me now, or you can wait here for my man. "Zhao Yuan ordered.
Qin Shi found this ridiculous. What kind of logic was this?
He shook his head and said, "I don't have time to waste with you." Then, he turned around and said to Yu Yue and the others, "Okay, let's go."
"Leaving just like that?"
Haoyue was not afraid of making things worse. He couldn't wait to see what would happen if Long Tingyan really came here and saw Qin Shi.
After all, the Enforcement Department didn't have the authority to enforce the law against disciples that were in closed door cultivation. Disciples that were in closed door cultivation would only receive two restrictions in the Sword Sect. One was the might of the entire Sword Sect from the Sect Leader, and the other was the altar of the sect rules that no one could escape from.
As long as it wasn't these two, no one had the right to order a disciple who was in seclusion, including Zhang Hun.
Qin Shi glared at Haoyue, and Haoyue curled her lips. "Alright, I got it. I'll go with you, okay? It's a pity that I didn't get to see the fun."
Qin Shi shook his head helplessly. He really didn't want to cause any more trouble. However, it wasn't always that he didn't want to cause trouble. He couldn't avoid trouble no matter how hard he tried.
Seeing that Qin Shi was about to leave, Zhao Yuan suddenly took a step forward and used her petite body to block them. She opened her arms and said, "None of you are allowed to leave!"
"I say, Big Sister, aren't you being a little unreasonable?
First, this road doesn't belong to you. My legs are grown on me. If we want to leave, do you have the right to control us? "Haoyue sneered.
"I don't care. If I say you can't leave, then you can't leave. My man will be here soon. You have to wait for him here."
"Hehe, you're really interesting. I'm leaving today. I want to see what you can do to me." Haoyue's temper flared up. He stood up and was about to step forward.
If it was just him alone, he wouldn't be Zhao Yuan's opponent. However, because of the previous matter, Yu Yue held a grudge against him. He and Haoyue stood side by side, causing Zhao Yuan to lose her advantage. She had no choice but to take a few steps back.
"You!"
After being wronged several times, Zhao Yuan almost cried out.
Meanwhile, a female disciple suddenly shouted from afar, "Zhao Yuan, let me help you!"
After that, the female disciple charged forward. She was very short and seemed to be only 15 or 16 years old. However, Qin Shi couldn't help but frown when he saw her.
"Domain Realm?"
This little girl is actually at the Domain Realm?
"It's her?"
"Do you know her?" asked Qin Shi and Xu Qingfeng.
Xu Qingfeng hurriedly shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I don't know her. I only know that she's called Li Xiaoli. Her situation is similar to Zhao Yuan's. She's also a junior of the imperial family. However, the power of the empire she belongs to is even greater. So, her strength is considered to be very terrifying in the Sword Sect."
"I see."
Qin Shi nodded. If a great empire intended to foster a person, then that person's achievements were indeed limitless.
It wasn't just Li Xiaoli. Many other female disciples had charged forward as well. Some of them were even discussing in low voices, "Hurry up. This is a good opportunity to curry favor with Zhao Yuan. If we help her hold off these people, then she'll remember our kindness in the future. Then, we'll be completely rich."
"Indeed. I've never seen those brats before. Only Yuyue has some fame, but she's far from being comparable to Long Tingyan."
"It's worth it to rely on them to get close to Zhao Yuan."
"Moreover, the Enforcement Department always brings many disciples when they go out to enforce the law. Long Tingyan definitely won't come alone. Who knows, he might be accompanied by some handsome deacon with a high status in the Enforcement Department. When the time comes, we should put on a good performance and flirt with them. If we can capture a couple of them, then we'll really be rich in the future."
"That's right, that's right. We're not like those poor brats. Look at that guy who's dressed in rags. He doesn't look like he's capable at all. I wouldn't want to accompany him even if he gave me money."
As the female disciples spoke, they didn't forget to glance at Qin Shi.
Qin Shi stared blankly. But before he could turn around, Xu Qingfeng, who was next to him, burst out laughing. "Haha, I'm going to die from laughter. Shitou, it seems like you don't have a good first impression."
"Scram!"
"But really, what do you think their expressions will be like when they find out that you're a closed door disciple?"
Qin Shi shook his head. He didn't know, and he didn't want to know. But looking at the crowd of female disciples, it seemed like they wouldn't be able to leave before the Law Enforcement Division arrived, unless they wanted to attack these female disciples.
Seeing so many people helping her, Zhao Yuan became even more savage. "Humph, brat, let's see where you can run this time."
Qin Shi let out a long sigh. "I won't leave. I'll just wait here." Then he turned to Xu Qingfeng and said, "I reckon we'll be able to see the scene you just asked about."
"Hehe, I'm quite curious."
Under the encirclement of the female disciples, time slowly passed. If it weren't for the disdainful gazes from all around, Qin Shi would feel like he was the moon surrounded by stars.
Finally, after a quarter of an hour, three golden sword lights descended from the sky. Three attendants wearing the uniform of the Sword Sect's Enforcement Department descended with their swords in hand.
"They're here?" Everyone held their breath.
The three disciples landed, and the leader was a young man. When he turned around to look at Zhao Yuan, he was very respectful. He raised the spirit sword in his hand and cupped his fists. "Chi Quyan greets sister-in-law!"
"Greetings, sister-in-law!" The other two attendants also made the same gesture.
"Wow!
It's Chi Quyan! "
The group of fangirls became excited. "Chi Quyan, that's Long Tingyan's sworn brother. He has a very high status in the Enforcement Department. I didn't expect him to come. I must seize this opportunity."
Seeing the three attendants, Zhao Yuan seemed to have gained some confidence. She nodded at them and asked, "Tingyan?
How come I don't see him? "
"Sister-in-law, Big Brother Tingyan has some matters to attend to and will be rushing over soon. He was worried that you would be in danger, so he asked us to come and have a look first."
"Is that so?"
Zhao Yuan's face paled slightly, but then her gaze became fierce again. She glared at Qin Shi and said, "Chi Quyan, they attacked me just now. How do you think we should deal with them according to the sect rules?"
Qin Shi and the others felt disdain when they heard this. "This woman who inverts right and wrong!"
Chi Quyan's gaze turned cold, and he looked at Qin Shi and the others with a ghastly gaze. "Did all of you attack my sister-in-law just now?"
"We didn't. She was the one who acted arrogantly and domineeringly," said Haoyue.
"Hmph! It's not up to you whether you accept it or not. Everything depends on the sect rules!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chi Quyan waved her hand, and an ethereal golden sword floated above her head. The golden sword was inscribed with thousands of Sanskrit characters, and it seemed extremely sacred. It caused the surrounding disciples to tremble. Even Yuyue, Haoyue, and the others couldn't help but be subdued by it.
However, only Qin Shi didn't react in the slightest.
This caused Chi Quyan to frown slightly, and she said furiously, "Kid, you dare not show your respect when you see the Holy Sword of Sect Rules?
Are you trying to rebel? "
Qin Shi laughed, "Haha! Is someone like you even worthy of being an attendant of the Sword Sect?"
"You're courting death!"
Chi Quyan's eyes opened wide, and then she waved her hand with the intention of stabbing the Holy Sword down at Qin Shi.
The Holy Sword of Sect Rules wasn't actually a real sword, it was an illusion formed from ethereal energy. It was a martial technique unique to the Sword Sect's Enforcement Division, and it specialized in punishing disciples who violated the sect's rules.
So, even if it pierced through the chest, one wouldn't suffer a heavy injury. Most importantly, so long as one was a disciple of the Sword Sect, then no matter how strong they were, they wouldn't be able to escape the Holy Sword of Sect Rules.
Zhao Yuan laughed with ridicule when she witnessed this scene, "Hmph! Stinking brat, let's see how arrogant you can be this time!"
"This kid is out of luck!"
The group of female disciples did not show the slightest bit of pity. Instead, they laughed in schadenfreude. However, their smiles did not last for long before they froze on their jade-like faces. Instead, they furrowed their brows, and in the next second, they looked shocked.
"How … how is this possible?"
The Holy Sword of Sect Rules stopped abruptly when it was half a meter away from Qin Shi.
"That's not right. Shouldn't one be restricted within 100 meters of the Holy Sword of Sect Rules, and then be punished for being unable to control one's strength?
What's going on? Why does it seem like it's the other way around? "
"I don't know … this is unbelievable."
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, there was a violent tremor, and the Holy Sword of Sect Rules seemed to be suppressed by a powerful aura, and then it shattered without Chi Quyan's control.
"How … how did this happen?"
