"Uh, it's okay......" I smiled inwardly again.

Bai Han couldn't wait to speak up: "Since that's the case, then Senior Brother Lin...... Why don't you go and meet the master as soon as possible? Tell the master clearly......"

"Uh, okay, I'll go right away."

I already know these things, but I don't know what the next punishment will be, but the worst plan is nothing more than to be expelled from the Tang Dynasty Mansion, then I will go to the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, or no matter how bad it is, I will return to Jianye City, and this time it will be regarded as a floating dream.

I was a little staggering, and my heart was also mixed, and I didn't know how to open my mouth when I saw my master Cheng Biting Jin next.

The teleporter led me to an elegant room and instructed me that the master was resting in it, and told me to wait there for a while.

After about a quarter of an hour, there was movement in the room.

"But my well-behaved Lin Pianhong apprentice is here?" Cheng Biting Jin's voice came from the room.

I echoed with apprehension, "Yes...... It's me, Master. ”

"Come in yourself."

I pushed the door in panic and saw my master Cheng Yanjin sitting cross-legged on a stone platform, as if he was meditating and recuperating.

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?" Cheng Yanjin looked at me.

I shuddered, and then plucked up the courage to reply, "That's right, master, yes...... It was I who asked Senior Brother Bai and Senior Sister Bai to help me steal the secret book of Senior Brother Shadow. ”

"Stealing?" Cheng Yanjin stood up, walked up to me, and then frowned: "Then tell me, why did you steal the cheats?" ”

"I ...... I want to fight for your face in the martial arts arena. I couldn't help it, and I knew that I looked a little awkward.

"Hehe, fight for my face? These words were all taught to you by that stinky boy from Bai Han, right? Cheng Yanjin suddenly changed his words and said: "Why do you want to take the blame for others?" ”

I was horrified and quickly explained, "No...... Nope! Master, this is not what Senior Brother Bai meant, it is my own meaning, it is really me! If you want to be punished, punish me, right? ”

"Hey, young you!" Cheng Yanjin actually sighed deeply and said: "Okay, I will fulfill your so-called righteousness this time, and I will not expose Bai Han and Bai Rou, but I have high expectations for you, don't let me down again, don't take me as an example." ”

"Master, you ...... Have you forgiven me? "I'm a little confused.

"Forgive you? How so? Cheng Yanjin shook his head with a wry smile and said: "I think Lao Cheng treats his disciples fairly, how did I know that such a thing would happen, it seems that the problem is still with me Lao Cheng himself!" ”

"No, no, master, how can you say that?"

"How else do you say that?" Cheng Biting Jin changed his words again and said: "I said Pianhong, what about you, you have a talent for martial arts, but your understanding of human nature is still a little lacking, today you helped Bai Han and Bai Rou hide it from me once, I only think you are righteous, but this kind of righteousness can no longer be had, you know?" This is harmful! Not only are you not helping your Senior Brother and Senior Sister Bai, but you're harming them! ”

Seeing Cheng Yanjin say so frankly and seriously, it seems that these little tricks of Bai Han and I have already been seen through.

In desperation, I finally nodded and said, "Master, you are gracious and spare us this time!" I believe that Senior Brother Bai and Senior Sister Bai will never be like this again......"

"Your honesty is still valuable." Cheng Yanjin smiled and said, "But, spare them, you, no." ”

"Huh? Master, you ......"

"You think, if you help them to lie, if I punish both of them, isn't that saying that you didn't help them, but made them bear the charge of lying? So, I heard that Bai Han and Bai Rou saved you, this time, you should return their favors, just punish you. ”

I was dumbfounded by Cheng Bitingjin's words, I never thought that my master Cheng Biting Jin was such a person, not only guessed my mind, but also convinced me to accept the punishment.

I nodded blankly, but I didn't know how to answer.

Cheng Yanjin saw that I was embarrassed, then patted me on the shoulder with a smile, and then said loudly: "Okay, this secret, as long as you and I know, you don't have to tell Bai Han and Bai Rou, be a favor, you must do it to the end, in addition, for you, don't take it as an example." ”

"Then how is the master going to punish me?" I was in great distress.

"You, miss your first offense, and it's not long before you arrive, clean the backyard for a month!" Cheng Yanjin said with a smile.

I was very grateful, and immediately knelt down on my knees at my master Cheng Yanjin and said, "Thank you for your kindness!" ”

"Alright, it's none of your business, go back!" Cheng Yanjin spoke, wanting to turn around and sit back on the stone slab.

I got up slowly, a thought flashed through my heart, so I boldly asked, "Master, the apprentice has one more thing to ask." ”

"Huh? What else? Go ahead. ”

"What is the master going to do with Senior Brother Bai and Senior Sister Bai in the future?" That's what I wondered in my heart.

"What about them? Hehe......" I saw Cheng Yanjin sneering and said, "They disappointed me!" Originally, stealing was already an unpardonable crime, and now they let you impersonate you, which is really a crime on top of a crime, but I Lao Cheng told the truth, I really have a soft heart of a girl, and the two of them are also first-time offenders, and I want to give them another chance to see how they behave next. ”

I was pleased, and then bowed to my master Cheng Yanjin again and said, "Thank you for your kindness." ”

"Okay, let's go, don't bother here!"

I smiled wryly and turned to leave.

Before I could reach my residence, Bai Han and Bai Rou ran towards me.

"Senior Brother Lin, how is it? What do you think? What did the master say? Bai Han and Bai Rou looked very eager.

Seeing the appearance of the two, I smiled bitterly in my heart, but on the surface, I still smiled and said: "Senior Brother Bai, Senior Sister Bai, it's okay, you don't have to worry, I took this matter myself." ”

"Huh? Really? That...... So what did that master say? How...... Punishing you? Bai Han and Bai Rou finally showed a hint of guilt.

I was slightly relieved, and then said with a wry smile: "It's nothing, the master said that I was a first-time offender, and let me clean the backyard for a month." ”

"Huh? Really? Take care of it, take care ......" Bai Han said as he spoke, as if he felt that something was wrong, so he looked at me apologetically, and then said in a loud voice: "Senior Brother Lin, I'm ...... I don't mean that, I mean, the master is indeed gracious. ”

"Well, yes, the master is gracious, otherwise I would really be expelled from the sect." I laughed at myself.

"Oh, don't worry, Senior Brother Lin, if that's really the case, Bai Rou and I will definitely do our best to protect you!"

"Yes, Senior Brother Lin, thank you...... Thank you! Bai Rou said a little shyly: "Without you, Senior Brother Bai and I really don't know what to do, thank you so much!" ”

"Yes, yes, Senior Brother Lin, thank you, thank you very much!" Bai Hantou also followed.

I forced a smile and shook my head, "It's nothing, it's just later...... Don't do that again. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! I also made a mistake for a while, and I actually listened to the words of those fellow disciples and brothers, hey! ”

Bai Han was still lying, but as far as I was concerned, I didn't care that much.

"Since there's nothing to do, then Senior Brother Bai, Senior Sister Bai, I'll go back first?" I wanted to leave, but was stopped by Bai Han.

"In this way, Senior Brother Lin, I have to find a way to thank you for your rescue, or else? Tomorrow, tomorrow at noon, you will leave the Tang Mansion with us, and we will go to the best tavern in Chang'an City and have a few drinks, which can be regarded as my thank you, how about it? ”

I smiled and waved my hand: "Senior Brother Bai, I understand the kindness, but this wine, no need, I won't drink......"

"But ......"

"Okay, Senior Brother Bai, you don't have to be like this, I'm really fine, I'm a little tired and want to go back to rest."

"In that case, well, let's talk about it later, you go back and rest quickly, we won't bother you for now."

When I returned to my residence, I planted my head on the bed, and my heart was a little messy at the moment, I don't know why, I actually missed Jianye City, I missed Li Shanren, and I missed those who lived in Jianye City, which was indeed suitable for life.

But I didn't want to admit defeat, I promised Li Shanren to learn a lot of skills and then go back, so I could only swallow my anger, so I could only redouble my practice and redouble my diligence.

With this intricate state of mind, I fell asleep, and the days with this state of mind came for nearly a month, this month I was a little tired, not only to double the practice of martial arts, but also after everyone else dispersed, I also had to be responsible for cleaning the backyard of the entire Tang Dynasty Mansion, almost every day had to last until the second half of the night, so that I could come back to rest.

During this period, because Bai Han and Bai Rou did not stay in the Tang Dynasty Mansion, the two of them left early, and I was the only one cleaning the backyard, but to my surprise, Brother Shadow took the initiative to help me clean the backyard several times, which did make me improve my opinion of it a lot, it turned out that Brother Shadow was not such a cold person.

Just when my cleaning mission with a few days left was about to end, the semi-annual martial arts exercise of the Tang Dynasty Mansion began to be held.

In the past few days, every disciple has been stepping up their practice, and even some disciples have not rested all night, just to be able to stand out at the martial arts meeting, and Bai Han and Bai Rou are even more diligent, a few days before the event, the two did not even return to live in Chang'an City, but stayed in the Tang Dynasty Mansion and never left, but although the two did not leave, they still did not help me clean the backyard, as if once they helped me clean, it was like admitting the fact that they made me scapegoat.

Every disciple is making the final preparations, and the entire Tang Dynasty official mansion has fallen into a tense atmosphere, and there are no more greetings and fights on weekdays, some are just the discussion of martial arts and the study of moves, and the night before the martial arts performance is held, the master Cheng Yanjin took advantage of the night to come to my residence......
