"Alright, don't cry anymore. I'll come and visit you when I'm free."
Zhang Xing wiped away Ruan Mei's tears and said dotingly.
"But … it's a long journey here. I don't know when I'll be able to see you."
Ruan Mei said worriedly.
"Don't worry. No matter how far I am, I'll appear in front of you immediately with just a thought."
Zhang Xing had never shown the space-time gate to Ruan Mei.
Therefore, Ruan Mei was still unaware of his miraculous abilities.
"Ahem!
That sounds so mushy! "
At that moment, a delicate voice came from the mountain gate.
Ruan Mei looked a little unnatural when she saw who it was.
Firstly, she felt a little embarrassed that someone had overheard her whispering to Zhang Xing.
Secondly, that person was the Eldest Senior Sister of First Mountain.
Ever since the first day she entered the mountain gate, the Eldest Senior Sister had disliked her.
She was always sarcastic and mocking her.
"Hello, Eldest Senior Sister!"
Although Ruan Mei did not like her, she still greeted her politely.
"Ruan Mei, you've been here for a few days. Don't tell me you don't know the rules here?"
The Eldest Senior Sister's tone was unfriendly. She did not look at Zhang Xing and looked coldly at Ruan Mei.
Ruan Mei did not say anything. Of course, she knew that the First Mountain did not allow unfamiliar male disciples.
All the male disciples who could enter the mountain gate had the permission of the Grand Elder.
The fact that the Grand Elder did not allow Ruan Mei's Eldest Senior Sister to bring her along and instead allowed Feng Bao to do so was intriguing.
"Ruan Mei, although the Grand Elder brought you back personally, you still have to abide by the rules."
"Similarly, you have to be punished if you break the rules."
"You're not an official disciple yet, but the punishment cannot be changed."
The Eldest Senior Sister even revealed a carefree smile as she said that.
"Zhang Xing is not an outsider. The Grand Elder brought us back together."
Ruan Mei lowered her head stubbornly and refused to admit her mistake.
"Not an outsider?
Humph!
To me, to the entire sect, he is an outsider. "
"It's already a great favor for Great Elder to let a person with no talent become an odd job disciple."
"I don't care what you think, but a mistake is a mistake. You have to accept the punishment."
"As the Eldest Senior Sister and the leader of the Disciplinary Hall, I now make the following decision on your punishment."
"First, your punishment is to go to the cold pond behind the mountain and meditate for twenty-four hours."
"Secondly, from today onwards, you will be responsible for cleaning the area at the foot of the mountain."
"Third …"
"Alright, don't use chicken feathers as arrows. It's just a small matter, there's no need to be so serious."
When Zhang Xing saw that the woman was getting more and more excited, he couldn't help but interrupt her.
Originally, he didn't want to get into a conflict with the people here.
After all, after he left, Ruan Mei still had to deal with them.
However, this Eldest Senior Sister was clearly using her power to avenge a personal grudge.
Now that the mountain gate was big, there were all kinds of birds. He could understand.
Ruan Mei was favored by the Great Elder as soon as she arrived, and was even accepted as a direct disciple. She would definitely be envied by others.
Obviously, this Eldest Senior Sister was one of them.
Meanwhile, Feng Bao's eyes lit up.
He became excited.
Fight!
The two of you fight with all your might!
I was defeated by Zhang Xing. Although I didn't suffer any losses, not many people knew about it.
However, it wouldn't be easy to take revenge.
That was because the Patriarch was very strict. He wouldn't stand up for him over such a small matter.
On the contrary, he would no longer focus on nurturing him because of his cowardice.
The Eldest Senior Sister of the First Mountain was different. She was the descendant of the Fourth Mountain's Palace Master.
The Ru family was famous for being protective of their own.
Even the Feng family's Patriarch didn't want to provoke the Ru family's Patriarch easily.
Therefore, no one dared to provoke Eldest Senior Sister Ru Xian among the First Mountain's Senior Sisters.
When it came to the other eight mountains, everyone also avoided her.
