Volume 1 The Continent of the Phoenix, Chapter 3: The Sin of Desire

"Who the hell are you, if you don't say anything, I'm going to call someone! This is the Tao family! My brothers and sisters are amazing!" Facing Yue Chen, who could easily avoid her fists, the girl's expression was obviously a little more flustered, but there was no cowardice in her words.

Obviously, she also knew that the boy in front of her, who seemed harmless to humans and animals, must be far superior to herself, so the girl decided to threaten the other party, after all, the Tao family was the most powerful family within a radius of a hundred miles.

Seeing the girl's little face that was slightly flushed because of nervousness, Yue Chen couldn't help but feel a little pity in her heart.

"My name is Yuechen, and I am from the Tao Family's East Courtyard...... Disciple. Yue Chen hesitated slightly.

"Are you from the East Courtyard?" The girl was slightly stunned when she heard Yue Chen's answer, and the next moment he couldn't help but exclaim, "You are the second young master?"

"Second Young Master?" Hearing the girl's name for herself, Yue Chen was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help but laugh at herself softly: "I don't know how long no one has called this title." ”

"Ahh

"Defeat two Eastern Courtyard disciples by yourself!" The girl said to herself, and her eyes were full of admiration as she looked at Yue Chen.

Looking at the girl's little face that turned red because of excitement, Yue Chen suddenly felt a little embarrassed, although in the Tao family because of his identity, Yue Chen's mind is far more mature than his peers, but after all, he is still a child who has just passed ten years old, and he will still be a little shy in the face of such a cute girl's praise suddenly.

"My name is Zi Muyu! ”

Looking at Yue Chen's somewhat shy expression, the girl couldn't help but sneer: "Hehe, listening to what senior brothers and sisters said about you, I thought that the young master had to be such a terrible person, but I didn't expect to be so easy to be shy." ”

"It's good to call me Yuechen, it's not used to you calling me that. I couldn't help but scratch my head, Yue Chen's expression was a little more embarrassed!

Looking at Yue Chen's embarrassed expression, the smile on Zi Muyu's face became a little more.

"Then I'm going back!I'm going to have a good time with you at the clan meeting in the near future!" After gesturing his little pink fist at Yue Chen, he turned around and walked towards the depths of the West Courtyard with light steps.

Thinking that she was about to start fighting just now, Yue Chen couldn't help but smile and waved her hand: "Then I'll wait and see!"

"Don't think I'm going to show mercy!" Zi Muyu turned around and shouted at Yue Chen waving her small fist, with a bit of threat in her words.

The corners of Yue Chen's mouth rose slightly, revealing a hint of a smile, because of the girl's appearance, the originally bad mood today was much better in an instant.

didn't stay too long, and when he returned to his room, Yue Chen couldn't help but feel a little tired, feeling the meridians that he was slowly repairing, and Yue Chen gradually fell asleep.

Got up early in the morning, Yue Chen, who had just finished washing, was planning to go to bed to cultivate, trying to seize a trace of spiritual power control, after this night's rest, the broken meridians in the body were also restored, and they could barely run some holy power, if they used holy power to warm up at this time, the recovery speed of the meridians would also increase.

"Yue Chen, the Great Elder asked you to go to the Discipline Hall. The sudden sound outside the door made Yue Chen's eyes cold.

The Discipline Hall is a place where the Tao family makes mistakes and is trained, and it will naturally not be a good thing to be suddenly summoned early this morning, thinking of yesterday's events, Yue Chen naturally understood some of the reasons.

When Yuechen arrived, the area around the Discipline Hall was already crowded.

"Hehe, this little wild species has a good show to watch!"

"That is, our Tao family's disciples can make this little wild seed fight as soon as he says it?"

Under the disdainful ridicule and disdainful gaze around her, Yue Chen's breathing couldn't help but shorten.

Taking a deep breath, Yue Chen slowly raised his head, and the pitch-black Mo Zi Mu Ran swept over the Tao family disciples around him who mocked him, and then raised his hand with a self-deprecating smile and knocked lightly on the door before pushing the door in.

The hall of the precept hall is very spacious, but the layout is very depressing and serious, the huge black plaque above the hall is engraved with "impartiality and strictness" four golden characters, sitting under the plaque are three indifferent old men in Tsing Yi, they are the three elders of the clan, and they are also the people who are second only to the patriarch in the Tao family.

On the left and right of the three of them sat several high-level deacons of the Tao family, as the young master of the Tao family, Tao Xiao was naturally in the ranks, Yue Chen's eyes stopped at Tao Xiao, Tao Xiao shook his head lightly at Yue Chen, Yue Chen understood that it meant that he should not talk more.

"Disciple Yuechen, I have seen the three elders and the deacons. Yue Chen hesitated slightly, stepped forward slowly, and bowed to the three elders and the high-ranking deacon of the Tao family.

Although Yuechen has no sense of belonging to the Tao family, after all, he is now in the Tao family, and the head of the Tao family is his nominal father-in-law, so he still has basic courtesy to Yue Chen, the elder of the Tao family.

"So lazy, do you want the Tao family to wait for you here?" A middle-aged man in his 30s on the right hand suddenly slapped the table and pointed at Yuechen and scolded angrily.

Yue Chen's eyes were slightly sideways, he naturally recognized this man, he was one of the deacons of the Tao family, and one of the children who lost the competition with Yue Chen yesterday was his son.

"Yue Chen doesn't know what the crime is, please make it clear to the deacon!" Yue Chen bowed slightly, although his words were polite, there was no trace of respect in his tone.

Obviously hearing Yue Chen's disrespectful tone, the Tao family deacon was even more furious and said: "You provoked in private, violated the Tao family's precepts! A private fight with a disciple caused two direct disciples to be injured! You dare to say that you are not guilty!"

Hearing this deacon's words, the corners of Yue Chen's mouth rose, and a sneer appeared, there is no excuse for the crime he wants to add, not to mention the fact that he is similar to a trumped-up crime, Yue Chen has been forced on his body no longer knows how many times, and he has long been accustomed to this situation!

"It's unfair for the deacon to speak like this!" Tao Xiao, who had been silent, finally spoke.

He bowed slightly and said to the three elders: "Three elders, the disciples happened to be present yesterday! It was those disciples who first spoke disrespectfully to their father, and the younger brother had to do it for the sake of his father's majesty, not to mention that when he did it, the younger brother only forced them to step down and admit defeat, and did not hurt any of them, so why did he say that he was injured?"

Although Tao Xiao's words were not long, they grasped the key points in every sentence, and even moved out of the name of the head of the family, which also gave Yuechen some room for maneuver in the originally unfavorable situation.

The deacon of the Tao family obviously turned slightly, and there was a little more hesitation in his expression, he could scold Yue Chen at will, but for Tao Xiao first of all, regardless of his identity, the cultivation potential of the other party alone was someone he could not offend at will, after all, he would definitely be the most powerful competitor among the Tao family patriarchs in the future.

But the previous words can not be taken back, even if Tao Xiao's status is high and his potential is great, now after all, he is only a child in his teens, and there are three elders and so many deacons who are biased towards him, how much wind and waves can he make with a child.

Thinking of this, the deacon paused and said, "How can my son dare to speak disrespectfully to the head of the family, young master, don't you spew blood." !”

"Yue Chen's father accepted his son, and several of them questioned and ridiculed Yue Chen's identity! Isn't this questioning my father's decision?" Tao Xiao's righteous rebuttal made the Tao family deacon unable to say a word.

Just when the scene was developing on Yue Chen's favorable side, an indifferent voice suddenly sounded: "Brother Xiao is so protective of Yue Chen in front of so many elders, isn't he afraid of hurting the hearts of our disciples of this sect?"

A young figure stepped out of the rearmost corner under the right hand of the three elders.

"Why did Brother Tao Lin say this?" Seeing this person, Tao Xiao knew that today's matter was probably more troublesome than he imagined, and the young man who spoke in the corner was Tao Lin who had secretly instructed other disciples to provoke Yuechen before.

Yue Chen watched all this coldly, Tao Lin he naturally knew, the grandson of the second elder of the Tao family, and one of the strong contenders for the future head of the Tao family, he was only twelve years old but had broken through to the ninth-level inspiration realm not long ago, and only Tao Xiao could slightly surpass him in the Tao family.

Yue Chen understood that Tao Lin's sudden voice at this time must be the meaning of the second elder, otherwise, in this situation that was not clear, with Tao Lin's cautious and leisurely mind, he would definitely not express his position so easily.

"Three elders, deacons, yesterday's incident happened to be the disciple was also present, can you listen to the disciple's words? Tao Lin bowed respectfully to the elders present.

Seeing the three elders nodding, Tao Lin continued: "Yesterday, there were three disciples of the Tao family who had disrespectful words towards Yue Chen, but they did not mean to offend the head of the family, it was originally just a trivial matter. ”

As soon as the words changed, Tao Lin suddenly pointed at Yue Chen and said sharply: "But Yue Chen used this incident as an excuse to insult my Tao family disciples, and used the competition as an excuse to shoot ruthlessly and injure two disciples of my Tao family! This matter can be testified not only by disciples, but also by dozens of disciples of the Tao family!"

"You fart!" Tao Xiao couldn't help but scold angrily when she heard Tao Lin's words.

"Tao Xiao! presumptuous!" shouted the Great Elder who had been closing his eyes.

Tao Xiao also realized that he had lost his words, and bowed slightly to the three elders: "I'm sorry for beating the elders, but at this time, there is another hidden situation, and I ask the elders to investigate." ”

"Hmph!" The second elder on the right side of the Great Elder snorted coldly and said: "Could it be that the dozens of disciples present are all lying, Tao Xiao, don't forget that you are the young master of the Tao family, although Yuechen is a family member, in the final analysis, he is still a person with a foreign surname, you have to think carefully about which is more important!"

"But the second elder Yue Chen, he..."

Before Tao Xiao finished speaking, Yue Chen grabbed the corner of Tao Xiao's clothes and said in a deep voice: "Brother, don't say it!"

"Yuechen?"

Tao Xiao knew that he couldn't do anything about this situation now, but he was willing to fight for Yue Chen even if there was only a slight chance, but seeing Yue Chen's slightly red eyes, he suddenly felt a pain in his heart at that moment, and he didn't know what else to say.

Yue Chen's gaze swept over the surrounding elders and deacons, and he slowly knelt on the ground with his knees bent, and then lowered his head and whispered to the three elders: "Elder deacons, yesterday's incident was the disciple's fault, and he should not be rash for a while, Yue Chen is willing to receive punishment here, but my brother is just impatient for me, and I ask the elders and deacons to forgive him for his sin of gaffe,"

Yue Chen suddenly admitted his mistake, which made the three elders also slightly stunned, they never expected that Yue Chen would take the initiative to admit his mistake and receive the punishment, after all, Yue Chen is still the young master of the Tao family in name, and then Tao Xiao protects him,

They naturally heard about yesterday's incident, originally the three of them just wanted to take this opportunity to suppress the forces of Tao Xiao's faction, but Yuechen's actions now completely disrupted their plans.

At this time, Yuechen was calm, and even he was a little scared, from Tao Lin's appearance, he understood that today's events were aimed at him on the surface, but they were actually directed at Tao Xiao.

If Tao Xiao continues to defend himself, I am afraid that he will need to go against all the Tao family disciples present at the time, which will greatly reduce Tao Xiao's prestige in the Tao family, which may have a bit of partisanship, but since no one is stopping, it must be that the people of Tao Xiao's faction want to take the opportunity to teach Tao Xiao a lesson, and also to let Tao Xiao understand the pros and cons and make a choice between the Tao family and Yuechen.

After understanding this, Yue Chen naturally could only make such a choice, what if he was wronged, but Tao Xiao was his brother, how could he bear his brother to fall into such a dilemma, after several weighing, Yue Chen finally had his own decision!

"Yue Chen knows that the guilt is hard to remove, and he is willing to be punished to study in the West Courtyard and become a disciple of the West Courtyard, if it were not for the permission of the family, he would not step into the East Courtyard again!"

One sentence shocked everyone! Even if this is a very serious punishment among the Tao family, the deposition of the Western Court is a very serious punishment measure! Although the Eastern and Western Courts are both Tao families, the difference between them is like a cloud.
