A righteous young hero? But I am a demonic cultist.

Chapter 31 Yue Yuan and Linghu Chong are punished at the Cliff of Repentance

When Yue Yuan said he wanted to eat monkey brains, Lu Dayou acted as quickly as possible, afraid that something might happen to his little monkey.

When Yue Yuan returned to the courtyard in the evening, the courtyard had been cleaned up and the walls had been rebuilt.

He looked at the courtyard and shook his head.

If you raise a monkey without a leash and restrain it, it will inevitably cause a great disaster sooner or later. Just look at the Bodhi Patriarch; he didn't keep it on a leash, which led to Sun Wukong becoming the Great Sage of the Flat-Tempered Cliff.

He managed to settle all the mess in the Three Realms, which angered Buddha, who then slapped him and bestowed upon him a title for five hundred years.

It seems that Sixth Brother has realized his mistake; otherwise, he would have plenty of cooking techniques to deal with this monkey.

The next day arrived in the blink of an eye.

Today is the day that Liu Jing and her brother became disciples of Huashan, and a group of people arrived at Yuquan Temple early in the morning.

Yue Yuan was among them. As an inner disciple, he was required to sit in the front row, next to his junior sister, Yue Lingshan.

The apprenticeship ceremony began. Liu Jing and Liu Qin knelt before Yue Buqun, first kowtowing to the ancestors of Mount Hua, and then kowtowing to Yue Buqun and his wife. The apprenticeship ceremony was then considered complete.

After accepting Liu Jing, Yue Buqun felt much more at ease.

This means that the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual has been acquired, and all the right conditions are in place; all that's missing is to obtain the manual from Liu Jing.

He glanced at his disciples and felt that Mount Hua was about to rise to prominence.

But when her gaze fell on Linghu Chong, who looked nonchalant, and Yue Yuan, who was picking at his nails, her good mood vanished instantly.

"Linghu Chong, Yue Yuan."

Upon hearing the name, the two immediately perked up and replied in unison, "Master!"

"Hmph, don't call me master, I'm not your master!"

Yue Yuan was puzzled. What had he done to offend him this time? He hadn't caused any trouble since he came back!

"Hmph~, you two step forward and kneel before our ancestors!"

The two hurried to the foot of the mountain and knelt before Hao Datong's memorial tablet.

Ning Zhongze asked, puzzled, "Senior brother, what does this mean?"

Yue Buqun slammed his hand on the table. "You didn't even ask what kind of beastly things these two did." He pointed at Linghu Chong. "Your eldest disciple called Tian Boguang his brother, said that the nuns of Hengshan were the Three Poisons, and that the nuns were the most poisonous. When several people from the Taishan Sect besieged Tian Boguang, he just stood by and watched without helping, almost causing Tiansong to lose his life on the spot."

He then pointed at Yue Yuan, "Your little disciple is even more remarkable, actually getting involved with Yi Lin, a disciple of the Hengshan Sect..." He couldn't finish his sentence, but just flicked his long sleeves and let out another cold snort.

Ning Zhongze looked at Linghu Chong, her beautiful eyes filled with disappointment. "Chong'er, I've watched you grow up since you were little. Although you're fond of drinking and dissipation, I thought your heart was good. How could you do such a foolish thing?"

"Don't you know who Tian Boguang is? Why are you... sigh!"

Looking at Ning Zhongze's disappointed eyes, Linghu Chong felt annoyed. He wanted to explain that things weren't like that, but he also felt that his master and mistress had wronged him, and he was somewhat resentful.

No one paid any attention to Yue Yuan. He became a disciple later, and Ning Zhongze invested less emotion in him. As a result, he was not scolded.

However, this is not a good thing either. A beating is a sign of affection, and scolding is a sign of love. If you don't hit or scold, you'll be a nobody.

After careful consideration, Yue Buqun finally made his decision.

"Linghu Chong, Yue Yuan, you two have seriously violated the sect rules. You are punished by spending a year in solitary confinement on the Cliff of Repentance." He then looked at the two kneeling on the ground. "Do you have any objections?"

Yue Yuan shook his head, indicating that there was no problem.

He originally intended to visit the Cliff of Contemplation, a forbidden area of ​​Mount Hua that was difficult to enter. Now that he had been given the opportunity, he was very grateful to Yue Buqun.

Linghu Chong, on the other hand, appeared quite surprised. "Master, I've already explained. It was something I had no other choice!"

When Yue Buqun heard Linghu Chong about to contradict him, his face darkened instantly. He frowned and questioned sharply, "Since you are so innocent, then tell me yourself, was your fraternal relationship with Tian Boguang genuine or not?"

Linghu Chong wanted to explain, but seeing his master's expression, he finally gritted his teeth and admitted it.

Is it true?

When Tian Song and Chi Baicheng called for your help, did you rush to their aid?

Linghu Chong did not answer this time, but simply lowered his head and stopped looking at Yue Buqun.

"Since there are no objections, then let's go to the Cliff of Repentance!" He stood up and said to the disciples, "Our Huashan Sect rules state that good and evil cannot coexist. I hope you will remember this."

After saying this, he flicked his long sleeves and left Yuquan Temple.

After the disciples left, Yue Yuan plopped down on the ground.

"Hey, senior brother, everyone's gone, no need to kneel anymore. Otherwise we won't have the energy to climb the mountain later."

"Why are you not sad at all? You should know that only those who have made mistakes are punished at the Cliff of Repentance."

"I did make a mistake, I should have gone."

Linghu Chong slapped the ground and stood up. "But I don't want to go."

Yue Yuan stood up, dusted himself off, walked up to the shrine, picked up an apple, wiped it casually, and took a bite.

"Click~"

"Mmm~ It's crispy, want one?"

"Junior brother, you are simply... simply..." Linghu Chong pointed at Yue Yuan with his finger, but he had no words to describe what followed.

"Click~~ Alright, it's getting late. If we don't go up to the Cliff of Repentance soon, it will get dark."

Linghu Chong stood there in a helpless rage, realizing he couldn't change anything, and could only follow Yue Yuan's footsteps, slowly walking towards the Cliff of Contemplation.

The feng shui of Mount Hua is truly excellent; a gentle breeze caresses my body, dispelling all my fatigue.

When Yue Yuan arrived at the Cliff of Contemplation, it was already noon. Seeing that the sun was too strong, he quickly hid inside a cave. But as soon as he entered the cave, he was driven out by the stench inside.

"What's that smell in here? It's stinky."

Linghu Chong snorted coldly, "A scholar is utterly useless. With your delicate skin and tender flesh, what else can you do besides attracting women?"

"Senior Brother, your insults are so vulgar. Why don't you go inside and experience it for yourself?"

"Fine, I'll go. I want to see what's inside." He glanced at Yue Yuan and strode into the cave. But as soon as he entered, he regretted it, because it really stank.

But Yue Yuan is right at the door. If he just goes out like this, wouldn't he seem completely useless?

No, we have to persevere.

In other words, Yue Yuan didn't know Linghu Chong's true thoughts. If he did, he would laugh himself to death on this Cliff of Repentance.

He was still praising Linghu Chong outside.

Yue Yuan thought to himself, "The saying 'one's environment shapes one's character' is absolutely true. People who grow up in Huashan are definitely different."

Linghu Chong stayed inside for about fifteen minutes, but he couldn't hold it in any longer, so he came out of the cave.

As soon as he stepped out of the cave, he saw Yue Yuan roasting a wild rabbit under a large rock. The aroma made him swallow hard.

"Don't just stand there, come and help."

"What are you doing?"

"Why are you pouring wine? Last time when I passed through Hengshan from Fujian, I killed two tigers, so I soaked two jars of tiger penis wine."

Linghu Chong's eyes lit up immediately when he heard about tiger penis wine.

"Where is it? I don't see it!"

Yue Yuan slapped his forehead. "Look at my memory," he snapped his fingers and pulled a small ceramic jar from behind him. "Open it quickly."

This was the first time Linghu Chong had seen him display this skill, so he quickly searched him thoroughly. "Where did you hide this wine? I didn't see you take any wine before."

"Hehe, it's just a magic trick, it's not important."

Although Linghu Chong was very puzzled, he could not find any flaws and had to give up.

The two poured themselves some wine and started drinking with the rabbit legs.

If it weren't for the fact that the place is near the Cliff of Contemplation, one would think the two of them were on vacation.

Just as the two were about to finish their drinks, a figure appeared in front of them.
