Luo Mingyue came back to her senses and said, "Get up, don't kneel."
Mu Lingyan shook his head and said, "Master, I am guilty. Please punish me, otherwise I will feel guilty..."
Luo Mingyue asked, "How do you punish me? I whipped too many people today. I'm a little tired and can't do it anymore. Besides... are you sure you're here to be punished?"
The last question was a rhetorical question, with a sarcastic tone.
Because every time Mu Lingyan came to receive punishment, he was whipped. Now being whipped has become a good thing. If Luo Mingyue whipped him, it would not be a punishment at all, but a reward...
Mu Lingyan opened his mouth, feeling even more guilty, because he was not the only one who hated his master. Under his influence, his fellow junior brothers and sisters were also full of resentment towards their master.
Luo Mingyue said: "It's late, go to bed."
Mu Lingyan said: "Master, I will explain it clearly when I return..."
Luo Mingyue didn't reply and slammed the door.
Originally, she wanted to ease the relationship with the male protagonist and his disciples, but for some reason, she felt a tightness in her chest. She didn't know if it was the emotions of the original owner of the body that made her not want to talk much and just want to go back to the room to sleep.
After she closed the door, Mu Lingyan knelt there for another half an hour before he stood up with heavy feet and returned to his room.
Mu Lingyan sat at the table, recalling every detail of the past, and found that he couldn't sleep at all.
He treated his fellow junior brothers and sisters as his family, but forgot that his master also raised him with great care.
"Today, Master beat someone and even knocked herself unconscious. This shows that every time she whips someone, even though it looks easy, it actually takes a lot of her energy..."
Mu Lingyan felt even more uncomfortable, as he didn't want his master to beat up other people's disciples.
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard a sharp whistle.
"Enemy attack—be alert!"
The deafening sound echoed in every corner of Tianji Island.
Luo Mingyue was woken up, put on her shoes and walked out, only to see colorful lights streaking across the sky. Those were the traces left by the elders of Xuanxing Sect as they flew across the sky.
The owner of Hongri Villa had left long ago, because his sect building itself was a spiritual treasure. Wherever he went, that was his home. The spiritual treasure could fly into the sky and into the sea, and it had completely left the sea area as early as the afternoon.
However, Qi Zixing himself did not think of asking outsiders for help. The entire Tianji Island is located in the sea and is often attacked by groups of sea beasts at night.
Some people may find it strange that since the sea is dangerous, why can't Qi Zixing move the sect to another place? Although Tianji Island is large in area and the scenery is pleasant, it is very inconvenient for ordinary disciples to travel. If they move to land, it will be much more convenient for everyone to travel and buy things.
But Qi Zixing felt that it was great to be on the sea.
First of all, sea beasts often attack islands, which not only increases the disciples' vigilance, but also allows them to consolidate their cultivation through participation in battles, thereby enhancing everyone's practical experience and combat capabilities.
Secondly, there are many disciples in Xuanxing Sect, and when there are more people, there will be more trouble. It is easy to form cliques and factions, resulting in conflicts of interest and fights. As the sect leader, Qi Zixing does not want to see everyone fighting to the death. At this time, he needs to establish a common enemy for the disciples, that is, the sea beasts.
The presence of the "external threat" of sea monsters can make the disciples become united. Everyone works together to drive away the sea monsters, enhance cohesion, and strengthen their feelings for each other.
Finally, the sect is too large and powerful to be supported by Qi Zixing alone. Qi Zixing is not very good at business, so the disciples can only be self-reliant. The sea beasts are full of treasures, and after killing them, they can be exchanged for spirit stones and cultivation resources. Why not do it?
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Qi Zixing was very satisfied with Tianji Island. He spent a huge amount of money to build two large formations. One is the mother formation, named Tongtian Formation, which covers the entire island and can keep the island full of spiritual energy, which is helpful for his disciples to practice.
The other is the sub-formation, which is a purely defensive formation that only covers the residential area. It is the defense line of the entire sect. If the disciples cannot defeat the sea beasts and let them come ashore, they can still retreat to their own residences. With the protection of the sub-formation, the disciples can be safe.
There are many whistles on Tianji Island. Once blown, it means that a sea beast is coming, and all disciples must go out and join the team to hunt the sea beast. Luo Mingyue even saw a child of seven or eight years old, holding a long sword almost as big as his body, and rushing towards the sea beast while roaring, without any fear.
Mu Lingyan and others were infected by the scene before them and rushed forward as well.
Qi Zixing was in charge, and whenever the defense line formed by the disciples was about to be conquered, he would raise his hand and cast a spell to help, and each spell was very precise. For example, if spiritual energy is compared to a stream of water, it would be okay for ordinary people to sprinkle more water when casting a spell, but Qi Zixing was not like that. He was extremely frugal and would never waste water. He would drip water out, using a dropper, which was extremely precious and would not waste a single drop.
After all, Qi Zixing was not sure every time the sea beasts came, and how long they would stay. He had to hold on and persist longer to ensure that he could support his disciples in time and not fail at the critical moment.
Qi Zixing was in command in the sky, and then sent a message to Luo Mingyue:
"Master, the [sea beast attack] is a private matter of our Xuanxing Sect. We do not need the help of your disciples. I hope you can quickly protect them to prevent the genius from being killed prematurely..."
Luo Mingyue said: "It's okay, let them do whatever they want. My disciples have been at ease for too long, so today is a good opportunity to see some blood."
Qi Zixing nodded: "Okay."
Anyway, he had already reminded himself that he had to take the overall situation into consideration and take all aspects into account. He did not have extra time to be polite to Luo Mingyue or to ask for Luo Mingyue's help.
However, Luo Mingyue felt that she could not just stand by and watch. People are all about mutual assistance. Qi Zixing was a good person, so it would only take a little effort for her to help.
Luo Mingyue flew up on his sword and flew to the front, only to see dense swarms of sea beasts surrounding the entire island. There were so many of them that people would suffer from claustrophobia. The disciples of Xuanxing Sect included those who were good at archery, those who were good at sword dancing, and those who were good at using swords. They were all experienced in battle and cooperated well with each other to guard the island together.
Luo Mingyue flew a circle and felt that there was no need for her to help in the battle, but she could start from another aspect. She came to a place not far from Qi Zixing and took out a piano.
The name of the zither is "Fengchun", which looks simple and elegant.
Luo Mingyue played the piano.
Every note turned into healing medicine, floating into the disciples' bodies and healing their wounds.
"Ahhhh!"
The disciples immediately became more courageous. Some of them found that their wounds healed so quickly, so they simply fought the sea beasts by exchanging injuries. After all, they recovered quickly after being injured, so of course they had to take the opportunity to kill a few more sea beasts!
