Chapter 1: Punishment
I knew I was in trouble again. I knelt on the cold marble floor, looking at my skinny figure reflected on the ground.
Above my head was the big apprentice of the masked man who forced me to be his apprentice, and my nominal senior brother Lu Bing chattered and reprimanded. In private, I and other brothers always like to secretly call him Lu Da Cake, just because he has a face bigger than the oil cake, and his pockmarked face is a realistic version of the "big oil cake".
He is a rigid and mean man, and he usually likes to discipline us with a facial paralysis posture with his senior brother's shelf. I remember when I first came, I waited for an opportunity to take revenge because I didn't obey his discipline, and I took a ** in his meal, and cut off the beard on his face, so angry that he cried in front of everyone in front of the masked man, and since then his majestic image has collapsed in the hearts of everyone, and my prestige has since become a legend in the Phantom Sword Palace. Of course, it also made me completely bond with him.
I thought about how funny it was for a beardless flatbread, and my body trembled slightly from holding back a smile, not paying any attention to the spout of the watering can, until I was lifted from the ground, and I knew that I was going to live in a small black room for a while.
The small dark room is not very large, a straw mat bed, a crumbling wooden table is all it has. Although this is a place where the Phantom Sword Palace has punished disciples who have made mistakes, I have regarded it as a paradise.
In addition to eating and sleeping every day, one of the most common things to do is to watch ants fight, and sometimes when I get tired of watching it, I pick up a stone and draw on the wall. I don't think it's boring, but after such a long period of "training", my art skills have improved a lot, and the things I draw have become more and more beautiful.
When I was tired of playing, I lay back on the bed and began to look at the dark roof. I was born in 2713 A.D., it was an era of advanced technology, human beings have confirmed that there are multiple spaces in the universe, and the time and space we have crossed over is just parallel to my time, although it is a parallel time and space, but the technology here is still underdeveloped, and the thinking of people here is still very feudal, which also makes me suffer a lot because I don't understand the rules.
I think I've spent more than four months here, and it wasn't my intention to come to this time and space, if I hadn't accompanied Sisi to participate in the "Super Dream Competition", I wouldn't have fallen here.
As soon as I think of Sisi, my heart immediately pinches. She is my half-sister, and although we are not sisters, we have always had a good relationship. I thought she would be with me, but I didn't see any trace of her until I searched through the entire Phantom Sword Palace. I don't know if she's been hidden by the Masked Man, or if she's not here at all, I just know I have to find her as soon as possible, and I can't let her wander here alone.
"Sisi, where are you, don't let anything happen." I whispered a few words in my mouth when I heard a click in the iron door of the little dark room, and then I saw the masked man walk in through the door.
I jumped up from the mat and exclaimed with a smile on my face, "Hello Master." "Look at his face carefully, although I know I can't see anything, because his whole face is covered by the jade mask except for his mouth and chin, which is not covered by the mask, and I think he probably thinks that his appearance is too sorry for the audience, so he hides it like this.
"Do you know it's wrong?" The masked man's voice was as cold as 10,000 years of ice, which made the weather in the wax moon even colder, and also made me shiver lightly.
"Well, the apprentice knows that it's wrong, the apprentice shouldn't let the chickens in the chicken coop out, and even if they do, they shouldn't let them run around, let alone let the master and Lu Youbi know about it." I nodded my head like a chick pecking rice, said in a voice that sounded extremely aggrieved, and peeked at him again.
"You! Something that has been taught over and over again! The masked man looked annoyed, his dark eyes glaring at me fiercely, and his voice suddenly raised an octave. But I knew that since he came to me, he had the intention of letting me out, so I became more and more bold, rubbed to his side and gently pulled his sleeve, and said softly: "Good master, you will spare the apprentice this time, the apprentice swears, never to play chicken again." ”
The masked man pulled his sleeve out of my hand in displeasure, he brushed the edge of his shirt that was a little wrinkled by me, and was silent for a long time before sighing: "That's it." Then he flicked his sleeves and walked out of the room.
I knew that this was what he had forgiven me, so I followed behind me, and it wasn't until I came to the main hall with him that I found that all the famous disciples in the Phantom Sword Palace were standing straight on both sides of the main hall, and when they saw us coming, they all bowed their knees and said loudly: "Disciple, please meet the lord!" ”
I took advantage of the majesty of the masked man, straightened my waist and walked behind him in a decent manner, accepting the "kneeling" of all the disciples to me, especially when I walked to Lu Dabi's side, I also deliberately snorted heavily, causing him to shoot two sword-like glances at me again and again.
"I have something to announce today." The masked man paused, moved his gaze to my face, and paused. I also turned my head to look at him, and there was something terrible in his eyes, and I was terrified to see it.
I swallowed, not understanding what he meant, so I could only smirk at him, and he still looked at me. I was a little hairy in my heart by him, and I knew that speaking at this time was definitely a rhythm of death, so I had to endure it silently. It wasn't until I felt that the muscles in my face had become very stiff that I heard his cold voice again.
"This seat will go down the mountain today, and the affairs in the palace will be handled by Lu Bing." As soon as I heard the news that Gu Nan announced that he was leaving, I almost jumped up with excitement, although there was still a Lu Da Pie, but he didn't dare to do anything to me, unless he was really tired of it.
The more I thought about it, the happier I became, and the curvature of my mouth became wider and wider, so naturally I didn't care about the situation around me. When I finally suppressed the excitement, I looked up again and found that there was no one in the hall.
I pursed my lips, thinking to myself that I had treated them so well, and that they didn't call me when they left. I sullenly arranged in my mind what those people were not like, and moved my somewhat numb body in place for a moment before turning around and preparing to walk towards the door.
As soon as I lifted a centimeter of distance, I felt a little cold behind me, and when I turned around, I saw that Gu Nan was still sitting on the high main seat, he was looking at me with his arms crossed with interest, but the gaze that shot at me was not friendly.
"Hehe, Master, why haven't you left yet?" I really regret why I didn't go out directly just now, so I had to take a few steps forward slowly with a smile that didn't smile, and said, "Master, aren't you going down the mountain today?" You see, it's not early, and if you don't leave again, I'm afraid you'll delay your trip, so I'd better ..."I think my meaning has been made very clear, and he should easily understand my intentions.
Sure enough, I saw that his eyes at this time could not be described by the word cold ice at all, and if the look in those black eyes could be transformed into a sword, it would have chopped me into meat sauce.
"You really didn't take what this seat said!" The voice without temperature came to him in an instant, his rough fingers gently rubbing against the major artery in my neck, and his eagle-like eyes stared at me deadly, as if if I dared to say a word, I would die immediately.
"Aha, how dare you!" I snorted at him, tilting my head to the side to get around his claws, but he was even faster than me, and before I could do anything, he had firmly grasped my shoulders with both hands.
The tall figure of the masked man completely obscured the candlelight in front of my eyes, and the huge sense of oppression made my breathing gradually become a little difficult, and I didn't dare to think about what kind of punishment he was going to give me at this time, so I could only silently lower my head and dare not look at his eagle-like eyes.
"If there is a next time, I will not spare it!" After a long time, he finally spoke, and before I could answer, I felt a confusion in front of me, and then I was already carried by him on my shoulder.
How could he carry me without my consent! Doesn't he know that men and women don't kiss each other? I slapped his body hard, and when he didn't react, I started to bite his shoulder with my teeth, but no matter how much I resisted, he didn't do anything, and instead tightened his arm around my waist.
I struggled for a while, but gradually lost my strength, so I could only lie on his shoulder and let him go.
