Chapter 53 Relaxed
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
What?!
The pupils of Zheng Jingshan, who was initially calm and composed, suddenly constricted. He turned around abruptly and stared at Pei Ling intently. His gaze was fierce, as if he wanted to devour him.
Pei Ling was shocked. “Senior Brother Zheng?”
“…” So it was this bastard who hurt me!
Zheng Jingshan was furious. He wished he could slap Pei Ling to death immediately. However, as the spiritual power circulated in his body, he took a deep breath and did not attack.
After all, Senior Sister had taken a fancy to Pei Ling.
Without his senior sister’s permission, he could not make the slightest move.
“I understand.” Zheng Jingshan did not want to see Pei Ling anymore. After all, when he saw this kid, he could not help but remember how Miao Chengyang beat him up in public that day.
Although he and Miao Chengyang had long had grievances against each other, it was fine if he got beaten up because of his personal grievances.
But because of Pei Ling… What is this?!
So Zheng Jingshan calmed himself down and ordered his guest to leave in a low voice. “If there’s nothing else, you should go back to the outer sect. After all, there’s a difference between the inner and outer sect. You’re
only an outer sect disciple now. It won’t be good for you if others see you in the inner sect.”
Get lost quickly!
F*ck off!

ei Ling felt that something was wrong, but seeing Zheng Jingshan’s expression, he did not dare to say anything. He said resentfully, “Yes.”
But just as he turned around to leave, Zheng Jingshan thought of something and called out to him, “You killed Miao Cheng’an and the other two single handedly? What were their cultivation levels? Were they injured?”
“In response to Senior Brother Zheng, two of them were at the fourth-stage Qi Refinement realm and the other was at the fifth-stage Qi Refinement realm. Neither of them was injured.” Pei Ling did not understand
what he meant, but he still said truthfully, “I could not have killed them. It was after a life-and-death struggle…”
He wanted to highlight how fearless he was in order to protect Zheng Jingshan’s reputation and honor, but he was already in front of Zheng Jingshan who sized him up carefully and gasped, “You’re actually not
injured?!”
Defeating three people single handedly was rarely seen, and one of the fellow disciples had a cultivation level that was higher than his. More importantly, Pei Ling actually appeared in such a perfect state in just a few
days… This meant that killing Miao Cheng’an and the other two was not a deathmatch at all. It was not effortless, but it was not difficult either.
Otherwise, based on Zheng Jingshan’s understanding of Pei Ling, this kid did not have any elixirs or powerful healing techniques. If he was really seriously injured, how could he have recovered so quickly?
Senior Sister is really discerning! Although Zheng Jingshan had never doubted Fairy Li’s judgment, he did not expect that Pei Ling, who Fairy Li seemed to have casually accepted, was actually so outstanding.
When he thought of this, the anger in his heart did not decrease at all, but his killing intent became much fainter.
The main reason was that if Pei Ling was just an ordinary person, killing him would be fine if he was really pushed into a corner. At most, he would turn around and apologize to his senior sister and receive some
punishment.
However, he did not expect this kid to be an unpolished gem buried in the Pei family.
He had just entered the sect and already displayed such amazing talent and combat strength. In time, he would definitely become a formidable stalwart under Senior Sister.
n that case, how could Zheng Jingshan dare to touch him?
n fact, he really wanted to give this kid some protection as he had requested.
Zheng Jingshan’s expression darkened. After a moment, he said coldly, “I know what to do with this matter. I’ll arrange it for you. It’s just that the rules of the Holy Sect are not to be defied. You have to know what to do
in the future.”
ei Ling was overjoyed when he heard that. “Yes! Don’t worry, Senior Brother. If those people didn’t provoke me, I would have cultivated well to repay you.”
n his opinion, Zheng Jingshan’s words meant that he had agreed to shoulder the responsibility.
As for what to do next, Pei Ling also understood.
After all, the Deep Sea Sect had been established for tens of thousands of years and had thrived until now. How could the rules of the sect be so easily violated?
Therefore, the fine this time could not be exempted. However, Zheng Jingshan was responsible for resolving the other troubles, such as the three families’ plot.
At the thought of this, Pei Ling instantly felt much more relaxed. He excused himself from the Kulan courtyard and formed a seal to summon the Corpse Cloud to return to the outer sect. He felt from the bottom of his
heart that today’s 10, no, 13 inferior-grade Spirit Stones were totally worth it.
Senior Brother Zheng is really a good person!
After returning to Shady Sophora Peak, Pei Ling rushed straight to the Disciplinary Hall without stopping. He found Jiang Liang and told him everything that he had told Duanmu Yan. Finally, under Jiang Liang’s faint
smile, he braced himself and said, “… That was probably what happened. I just joined the sect and didn’t know much. According to City Lord Duanmu’s guidance, this matter needs to be reported to the Disciplinary
Hall, so I came to pass on the message.”
“I understand.” The corners of Jiang Liang’s lips twitched as he said, “The Disciplinary Hall will send someone to investigate. When the results are out, they will naturally inform you.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf this was before, Pei Ling might have thought that since Chen Huan and the others were dead, and it was City Lord Duanmu’s territory, and there was no evidence, the Disciplinary Hall would not find anything even if
they wanted to.
However, after witnessing the ability of the Disciplinary Hall to investigate, he did not dare to be so arrogant. He could only bid farewell with a forced smile.
“Forget it, the most important thing now is to earn Spirit Stones!” After leaving the Disciplinary Hall again, Pei Ling thought about the current situation and a cold glint flashed across his eyes. The plot by Li Siguang and
the other two’s families was blocked by Zheng Jingshan; the Disciplinary Hall’s investigation into the deaths of Chen Huan and the others was also mediated by Duanmu Yan, the City Lord.
Although he could not say that he would not be implicated, at least for the time being, he did not have to worry.
The current plan was to find a way to earn Spirit Stones as soon as possible.
Otherwise, even if Chen Huan and the others’ deaths were thought to have nothing to do with him and no one in the sect wanted to harm him, just the fine would be enough to kill him in three months!
At the thought of this, Pei Ling went to the platform on the mountainside and spent a spirit stone to head toward Elixir Peak.
Although he felt that he might be more talented in talisman crafting, considering that talisman crafting actually required two to three years to master the basics, it was f*cking useless. What use was there in learning?
As for forging, seeing how strenuous it was for Chen Huan and the rest, he felt that it was better to go to Elixir Peak to take a look. If not, he could try controlling beasts… In short, he would take a spin first.
Outer Sect Elixir Peak did not look much different from the surrounding mountains. However, after landing, one could sense that the vegetation on this mountain was particularly luxuriant.
In the midst of it, he could clearly feel the exuberant vitality. It was incomparably abundant, and it caused Pei Ling’s spirits to be lifted!
He composed himself and looked around at the situation. Soon he followed a large group of disciples who were in a hurry.
Not long after, they entered a majestic hall close to the mountaintop.
When they entered the hall, what they thought was a classroom was actually a huge pit. The bottom of the pit was uneven and there were seats placed. In the middle was an island-like stage.
Pei Ling’s luck was not bad. Not long after he sat down with everyone, he heard three chimes. The hall that was filled with whispers instantly fell silent.
After a while, a young cultivator in a light robe appeared on the stage..
