Chapter eight hundred and twelve reward and punishment
The content of the team competition has been calculated clearly at this point. The head, the sect leader and the sect leader discussed it together and then made the final ruling.
First of all, most of the people participating in the competition received rewards, including Chu Feifan, the guy who was dragging his legs. The distribution process was the same as before. Each person had a box, and they didn't open it, so they just kept holding the box and left.
The last remaining people were Ji Yao, Murong Xuan, Ying Ying and Tianyou.
Among the four people, Murong Xuan was called to the front first, and Wufeng Sword Saint gave him a small box and encouraged him. It was obvious that Murong Xuan's reward was very special because his box was placed on the table in advance and was not brought by the disciples below. Moreover, the appearance of this box was different from the previous ones, and it was not simple at first glance.
Compared to others, Tianyou read more clearly. It is not an adjective, it is really "transparent".
Tianyou could see the flow trajectory of spiritual energy, and in his eyes, the box was clearly an advanced magic weapon for the explosion of spiritual energy. Its spiritual energy reaction was very strong and extremely active. Although it could only be seen from the shape that it was probably a round thing, the intensity of this spiritual energy alone was already very telling.
Murong Xuan did not show any smile. He accepted the praise calmly, then calmly greeted the immortals, and then left the hall.
After Murong Xuan left, the next person called up was Ying Ying.
Ying Ying's contribution in this mission was not outstanding, but it was very important, so the prize she received was even better than Murong Xuan's. As for how Tianyou knew about this situation... Of course, it was seen from the spiritual reaction. It was obvious that the spiritual reaction in the box Ying Ying got was greater than Murong Xuan's.
Ying Ying consciously left the hall after receiving the reward. At this time, only the fake mother and son Tianyou and Ji Yao were left in the hall.
At this time, the head of the sect also stood up from his seat, and even the other sect masters got up. Everyone walked down the steps and came to the two of them.
Seeing the big guys walking down together, Ji Yao's head lowered even deeper. She knew that the behavior of pretending to be public and private in this action was indeed too obvious. What's worse was that this behavior had irreversible consequences. If she could still get away with it, Zixiao Palace would probably not be able to be the leader of the Immortal Sect.
However, the big guys who walked down did not rush to speak, but patrolled back and forth on the two of them with their eyes. After a moment of pause, just as Ji Yao was about to lie on the ground, the head of the sect finally spoke.
"Ji Yao."
"Disciple is here." Although he is already a famous female fairy, he is still much worse than the head and the others. Besides, it is now in the stage of confession, so of course he must lower his attitude.
The head of the sect glanced at Ji Yao again, and then continued, "It has been more than a year or two for you to enter my Zixiao Palace. You should understand the rules. In previous years, you asked you to lead the team, but those small actions did not have any actual impact, so we turned a blind eye and stopped ignoring you. But this time..." The head of the sect paused again, and then emphasized, "You have gone too far."
"Disciple knows the crime!" Ji Yao lay on the ground in a flash, buried her head in her arms and desperately asking for forgiveness.
The head and the others didn't dissuade her, just watched her desperately smashing the floor with her head. That was really a punch! Dongdong. The monk's head was not ordinary, it was not as hard as steel, but it should be said that it was not much worse than stone. Anyway, the floor was broken and she didn't see any bleeding on her head, and there was not even a mark.
Originally, Tianyou should be happy to see this scene, but in fact he was indeed gloating. But... in name, Tianyou is Ji Yao's son, and everyone recognized this before the matter was made public. Therefore, Tianyou couldn't just watch it. Others didn't know that he was not Ji Yao's child, nor did they know Ji Yao's sinister intentions. Others would only think that Tianyou was too cold-blooded, and that his own mother could still remain indifferent after she was like this.
Of course, Tianyou knew how seriously this reputation would affect his reputation. With the atmosphere of the Shenzhou Continent, such people were destined to be the existence of marginal people. It was okay to say that they pretended not to know and secretly poked Ji Yao, but after all, he was "unaware", and asking Ji Yao the most embarrassing point was unintentional, and there was nothing to say. But if you don't react in this situation now, it would be unreasonable.
"Mom!" With a thud, Tianyou knelt directly beside Ji Yao and supported Ji Yao who was still trying hard to smash the ground with her head.
"Sect Master, Sect Master, Sect Master, there are certainly reasons for the failure of this mission, but the competition for the ranking of cultivators in the world is difficult. Although the failure of the field is not the case, it is reasonable. Horses have stumbles, and people have times when they make mistakes. It is inevitable that the famous generals in the hundreds of battles will die in front of the formation. This is the rule of the way of heaven. Although Fairy Biyou is wrong, please take a look at the contributions of previous games and go online to get a lighter punishment." Tianyou said that, he knelt down and lay on the ground. Of course, he did not have the habit of smashing the floor tiles with his head. His cultivation level is not as high as Ji Yao, and his head is not as strong as the floor tiles for the time being. If he hits the floor tiles with his head, he will probably have a bigger chance of winning.
Tianyou said this, and the big guys above couldn't continue to look at Ji Yao and kowtowed. Besides, they didn't plan to let Ji Yao keep kowtowing like this.
The gods in the mythological stories on the earth can do some things about seven emotions and six desires from time to time under the towering sky bars. The gods on the Shenzhou Continent have nothing to do with the immortals on the earth. They are purely a group of powerful people and foreign races, so they are naturally more active in all kinds of thoughts. In fact, they have done some of the above positions such as Ji Yao to more or less. The difference is that they have not caused any obvious consequences.
In the final analysis, those who practice immortality are all their own strength and future, and sects are just groups to help each other. In the best way, this is a mutual aid club, but in the worst way, this is actually a gang of gangs. Therefore, Ji Yao’s “sin” is not selfishness, but failure to win.
"Okay. If you have time to kowtow, I'd better thank Tianyou more." With Tianyou's dissuasion, the head of the sect finally spoke out to stop Ji Yao's behavior.
To be honest, to outsiders, Ji Yao's behavior this time was quite strange. Tianyou is her son, so it will be implemented according to Tianyou's plan. There is no need to do this. But Ji Yao didn't. Not only did she exclude Tianyou from the team in various small ways, she even cheated Tianyou out of the final plan. The big guys above didn't even fully understand what she was doing now.
At present, the common view of the big guys is that Ji Yao is insatiable. On the one hand, let Tianyou, who is more capable, leave the team so that the team members will not divide his achievements, so that this "own son" can benefit more. Then, on the one hand, she arranged benefits for the "own son", and on the other hand, she also wanted to intercept the Tonglian Seed to help her closed disciple, Chu Feifan. This is a benefit on both sides and intends to maximize the benefits. However, in the end, she took off the game, resulting in the failure of the task, which made the situation happen.
This is the only statement that can explain Ji Yao's behavior, otherwise it would be unreasonable why she wanted to cheat her own son. Of course, if the heads of the sect knew the real relationship between Tianyou and Ji Yao, it would be easy for her to understand her motives. Unfortunately, they didn't know.
Although Ji Yao was prevented from kowtowing, Ji Yao's punishment was still indispensable. Tianyou's face was not so great that the head and the others could ignore Ji Yao's faults.
This team competition, Zixiao Palace, is embarrassing, and the lowest ranking in history is really not a pity. Such a serious accident, it is definitely unreasonable not to take the blame. Moreover, at least half of the blame for this mistake was Ji Yao, so it is legitimate to ask her to take responsibility.
"Listen. This time, I will be punished with lighter punishment for your past contributions and Tianyou's plea. However, the mistakes you made this time have a severe impact, but you cannot take them lightly." After hesitating for a moment, the head of the sect continued: "The punishment is now as follows. First, deduct the benefits of your entire department for fifty years. Second, unconditionally undertake 3 sect tasks corresponding to your level. If the task fails, it will not be counted until the 3 sects are completed. The choice of the task is specified by the sect, and you do not have the right to choose and promote the deposit. Third, from tomorrow, you will go to the Ten Thousand Demon Cave to recuperate for three days without interruption."
Ji Yao, the first two sects, knelt on the ground and listened to him, but when she heard the third sect, she suddenly looked up at the head in surprise. Tianyou was actually quite surprised. At first, he heard the first two sects and was still wondering why the punishment this time was so light, but he didn't expect that they were all waiting here at the third sect.
This Ten Thousand Demons Cave is a place specially used by Zixiao Palace to punish sects who make mistakes. It is one of the most serious punishments for death and expulsion from the mountain gate.
Tianyou had heard of this place a long time ago, but he didn't know anything about it. Anyway, most people in the sect know such a place, and everyone knows that it is super terrible, even the immortals are absolutely unwilling to go in. But what's strange is that people who come out are unwilling to mention what is inside. If they ask, they will even make the other party attack maniacly. Someone suffered a loss and spread it, but no one asked about the situation inside again, but the reputation of the Ten Thousand Demon Caves has become even more scary. After all, nothing is more scary than the unknown.
Ji Yao was so scared when she heard this punishment. Tianyou felt Ji Yao trembling uncontrollably because she was supporting her arm. This was something that only happened when she was extremely afraid.
To be honest, the unknown is indeed very scary, but Ji Yao's reaction still made Tianyou a little confused. After all, even if he knows it is terrifying, it is not going to die after all, and it is only three days. Even if he scares himself, he shouldn't be scared like this? Besides, Ji Yao is a monk after all, and his mind shouldn't be so weak, right?
In fact, what Tianyou didn't know was that the reason why Ji Yao reacted so much was because she had been there once before. It was a long time ago. Tianyou hadn't even come through it yet, so naturally he wouldn't know about this kind of thing. And it was because he had experienced it before that, compared to other people's speculation, Ji Yao understood the horror of the Ten Thousand Demon Caves better. The fear that was engraved into her bones made her tremble all over her body. She only relied on the willpower of the monks to resist and refused to directly execute the punishment content. It has to be said that Ji Yao's performance is the result of strong willpower.
Although Tianyou does not understand the reason, he does not want to understand it either. Although many people say that people need to experience various lives more to understand the true meaning of life, Tianyou thinks it is better not to experience some things.
He trembled and bowed again, and then Ji Yao reluctantly replied: "Disciple will receive the punishment."
"Okay, you stand up first. Go back today and be prepared. Someone will take you to the Ten Thousand Demon Cave tomorrow to execute the punishment." After the leader said that, he looked at Tianyou, "My Zixiao Palace has always been a clear reward and punishment. Your personal relationship with her will not affect our evaluation of you. Although my Zixiao Palace was completely defeated in this team battle, it was not your fault. On the contrary, your performance was very outstanding this time. If it weren't for the final execution problem..." The leader looked at Ji Yao again when he said this, and the latter seemed to be able to feel the essence of the gaze, and his whole body shivered. To be honest, this was the first time Tianyou saw Ji Yao in such a mess. Fortunately, everyone else was driven out, so it would not be too embarrassing.
Tianyou probably thought that the leader left her at the end because he didn't want to damage Ji Yao's image. As for being seen by Tianyou... Anyway, they are mother and son, so it doesn't matter. Tianyou and Ji Yao both knew that the relationship between the two parties was fake, but the leader and the others obviously didn't know it. This arrangement is reasonable.
After looking at Ji Yao again, the leader of the sect said: "If there was no execution problem, this book would be a big victory for this sect. What a pity... it's a pity! However, although I, Zixiao Palace, failed to win the championship in this competition, but your planning and efforts are not at all problems, so the rewards are still given, and you will have to be rewarded."
Tianyou supported Ji Yao and was inconvenient to salute, so he could only lower his head slightly and said, "The head has won the award."
The head of the sect raised his hand, "You don't have to be humble. This matter is agreed in advance and will not change. Please keep the specific reward closed. You can send her to settle first, and then return to the cave. The reward should have been delivered."
What else can Tianyou say? He can only receive the order to thank him.
He helped Ji Yao, who was still trembling, walk out of the hall step by step, and saw a large group of people who had obviously been waiting for a long time under the steps of the hall outside.
Seeing Tianyou and the others coming out, Chu Feifan immediately rushed up first. Seeing Ji Yao's appearance, he hurried forward and wanted to squeeze Tianyou away to support Ji Yao. It has to be said that it is true that the mother and son are in love. Ji Yao thinks about Chu Feifan everywhere, and even lets Tianyou be a scapegoat and shield for him. Chu Feifan really cares about Ji Yao. Even though he knows that Ji Yao will definitely be punished, he waits outside like a cat scratching his heart to prepare to protect Ji Yao as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, no matter how kind and filial the mother and filial the son are between them, Tianyou will have only malice anyway, so he will not be moved by such a thing. On the contrary, the more kind and filial the mother and filial the son, Tianyou will only be more disgusted. After all, these two people are planning to let Tianyou block the knife for Chu Feifan. How could Tianyou have any sympathy for such a person?
Seeing Chu Feifan rushing up excitedly to squeeze him away, Tianyou sneered in his heart. Anyway, he is Ji Yao’s own son in name, so wouldn’t he be sorry for himself if he doesn’t use such a good identity?
Worried about taking Ji Yao down, Chu Feifan tried to squeeze Tianyou away but did not use much effort. However, Tianyou tried his best to stagger Chu Feifan. Originally, Tianyou and Ji Yao were on the edge of the steps at the entrance of the hall, but Chu Feifan stepped on the air and rolled down the steps.
Ji Yao wanted to help her when she saw her son fall down, but was grabbed by Tianyou who was supporting her and couldn't help her. She could only watch Chu Feifan rolling all the way.
Tianyou was still sarcastic and caring, "Oh, Senior Brother Chu, why are you careless? Hurry up, there is no sight to see you below. Your senior brother has fallen and won't help you."
Those who were scolded by Tianyou were actually the accomplices who followed Chu Feifan on weekdays, and were considered his small group. Even if you knew that Tianyou was deliberately sarcastic, you could only go up and support Chu Feifan first.
In fact, this matter is just a matter of face. No matter how bad Chu Feifan is, he is still a cultivator of a high level. Not to mention these two steps, even if he rolls down from the top of the mountain, it will be only a skin and flesh, and it will not be considered a bone-like injury. However, the injury cannot be hurt, but it is true that it is embarrassing.
The group of people on Ying Ying couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckled, which made Chu Feifan so angry that he was half-angry. But Murong Xuan was also among Ying Ying's group of people. Chu Feifan was so fierce to ordinary disciples, but he didn't dare to be arrogant towards Murong Xuan, the "Senior Brother of All People". After all, he was already a half-step immortal and had a tough backstage, so he really didn't dare to offend him.
In fact, even if she is not Murong Xuan, Ying Ying is not something that Chu Feifan can offend at will. As one of the ten countries, Ying Ying's identity is quite special in Zixiao Palace. Her "commissioned student" has a relatively transcendent status, and she has a master, talent and is under the utmost attention. If Chu Feifan had not been followed by Ji Yao, her status would have been much shorter than Ying Ying. Even with Ji Yao protecting him, Chu Feifan could only treat Ying Ying as an equal status, and she could not do anything to lose her temper.
"God bless you..."
He dared not offend Murong Xuan and Ying Ying, but Tianyou didn't have to be afraid. Although Ji Yao did not dare to tell Chu Feifan the truth for safety, he also comforted Chu Feifan in private and told him that although he and Tianyou were related by blood, he suddenly recognized each other, and Chu Feifan was closer in love. Chu Feifan listened to these words, so he didn't care about Tianyou. Moreover, the facts have proved that Ji Yao really favored him more on the key benefits, so Chu Feifan was not afraid of facing Tianyou.
Unfortunately, Chu Feifan is not afraid of Tianyou, but Tianyou is afraid of Chu Feifan. In terms of brains, the gap between Chu Feifan and Tianyou is roughly equivalent to the gap between Border Mu and Erha, which is really not on the same dimension.
