Hu Yunxi's favorability +30

Xiao Ming was not afraid of the Law Enforcement Elder who rushed over.

Firstly, he did not actively cause trouble.

Secondly, even if he were punished by the Law Enforcement Elder, or even expelled from the sect, Xiao Ming would not regret it.

If leaving the Spirit Sword Sect for Hu Yunxi, the reincarnation of the Empress, it would be worth it!

At this moment, Zheng Peng was extremely smug.

Disciples are forbidden to slaughter each other; this is a strict rule of the sect, an unforgivable grave mistake!

Yet, in a fit of rage, Xiao Ming actually killed so many disciples. He was simply lawless. Even if he was a strong practitioner of the Yuangang Realm, he would not escape the sect's punishment.

He might even be expelled from the sect!

Zheng Peng had a look of a petty person getting his way, just waiting for Xiao Ming to be punished by the Law Enforcement Elder.

However, what happened next made Zheng Peng doubt his life.

The Law Enforcement Elder, upon seeing that it was Xiao Ming, first froze, then said somewhat awkwardly, "So it's True Disciple Xiao. True Disciple Xiao, why are you so furious, slaughtering fellow disciples?"

The Law Enforcement Elder's tone was amiable; rather than questioning, it was more like a calm chat.

He had witnessed Xiao Ming's terrifying power.

Xiao Ming was not only a True Disciple personally accepted by the Sect Master, but his cultivation talent was also extremely high. He might even become a core pillar of the sect in the future.

Therefore, the Law Enforcement Elder did not dare to easily offend Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming looked up and said, "These dog-like scoundrels took advantage of my absence to bully my maidservant. Their crime deserves death!"

"My killing them was merely self-defense. May I ask, Law Enforcement Elder, what fault do I have?"

"It was such a matter? Then it's fine."

The Law Enforcement Elder said with a smile.

Meanwhile, Zheng Peng's eyes had already widened in shock.

True Disciple Xiao?

True Disciple?

This guy in front of him was actually a True Disciple?!

Was he not only in the Yuangang Realm?

How did he inexplicably become a True Disciple!

In the Spirit Sword Sect, an ordinary Yuangang Realm practitioner was only an Inner Sect Disciple; to become a True Disciple, one needed to cultivate to at least the Danhu Realm!

And this was not the most important thing.

The most important thing was, this matter just passed so lightly?

Even if Xiao Ming was a True Disciple, after slaughtering so many fellow disciples, he should still be punished by the sect!

"Law Enforcement Elder, I refuse to accept this!"

Zheng Peng shouted, "Even if he is a True Disciple, he shouldn't be so arrogant! He killed so many fellow disciples. I ask the Elder to enforce the law strictly!"

"Strict my ass!"

The Law Enforcement Elder said discontentedly, "You people provoked first, and True Disciple Xiao was merely forced to retaliate. If you continue to quibble and shift blame, this Elder will deal with you first!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Peng immediately fell silent.

He had already realized that the situation was not right. Clearly, the Law Enforcement Elder was currying favor with Xiao Ming!

Because, according to sect rules, even if Xiao Ming was acting in self-defense, he had overreacted!

"Alright, I'll take my lumps this time!"

Zheng Peng was indignant and turned to leave.

However, Xiao Ming let out a cold laugh.

"Trying to leave? Not so easy!"

Xiao Ming flicked his palm, and immediately, a sharp sword qi shot out from his palm.

With a "bang"!

One of Zheng Peng's arms was instantly blasted apart by the sword qi, and he himself was sent flying more than ten meters away.

"Why are you still attacking me?!"

Zheng Peng clutched his wound in pain, his face filled with shock and fear.

"Just now, when you saw the Law Enforcement Elder approaching, you immediately changed your tune, and even tried to use the Law Enforcement Elder to suppress me,"

Xiao Ming sneered,

"That move just now was to teach you a lesson!"

"Remember, my name is Xiao Ming, and I am someone you cannot afford to provoke!"

"Senior Brother Xiao, I was wrong, I was truly wrong. Please spare me."

Zheng Peng looked at Xiao Ming's furious face, then at the Law Enforcement Elder who stood by idly, and immediately changed his expression, quickly begging for mercy.

"Hmph, you fickle opportunist, get lost!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll get lost now, I'll get lost immediately."

Zheng Peng bowed his head submissively, clutching his wound as he scurried away.

Meanwhile, the Law Enforcement Elder had remained expressionless ever since Xiao Ming's sudden attack, as if he had seen nothing.

After Zheng Peng had scurried far away, the Law Enforcement Elder chatted with Xiao Ming with a smile for a while, then left through the air.

After sending off the Law Enforcement Elder, Xiao Ming led Hu Yunxi back to the small courtyard.

After closing the door, Xiao Ming asked, "What exactly happened today?"

Hu Yunxi lowered her small head and said timidly, "I, I saw some leaves and dust piled up at the entrance, so I took a broom to clean it. After I finished cleaning, those people saw me and started rushing over to bully me."

"Young Master, I was wrong. I shouldn't have caused you trouble."

At this point, Hu Yunxi was almost in tears.

Xiao Ming stroked Hu Yunxi's small head and said gently, "I don't mean to blame you; I just want to understand the whole story."

"Mm, your appearance is special, so it's best not to go out casually in the future, to avoid any unexpected incidents."

Hu Yunxi was petite and adorable, and she also had a pair of fox ears and a beautiful fox tail behind her.

Such a well-behaved Little Fox Girl was indeed very eye-catching.

"Mm! I understand. I won't cause Young Master any more trouble!"

Hu Yunxi nodded firmly.

Then she added, "Young Master, you were so domineering just now. Thank you for helping me out."

As soon as her voice fell.

The system's prompt suddenly sounded in Xiao Ming's mind, "The host helped Hu Yunxi, gaining +30 Hu Yunxi's favor!"

Xiao Ming was slightly stunned.

Then he was overjoyed!

Favorability came just like that?

And it increased by a full 30 points!

Adding to the previous favorability, Hu Yunxi's favorability towards him now reached 50 points!

At this moment.

Xiao Ming suddenly hoped that Zheng Peng, who had scurried away, would continue to be relentless. That way, he could gain more favorability from Hu Yunxi.

On the other side.

Zheng Peng fled back to his residence with a pale face.

After taking a pill to stop the bleeding and stabilizing his injuries, Zheng Peng became angrier the more he thought about it!

Since joining the Spirit Sword Sect, he had never suffered such great humiliation and severe injury; even one of his arms had been brutally blasted off!

"No, I can't swallow this insult!"

"Although that Xiao Ming is a True Disciple, his Cultivation Level is only Yuangang Realm. I am not his opponent, but Big Brother can do it!"

"I want Big Brother to help me get revenge!"

Zheng Peng gritted his teeth in anger and immediately rushed to his Big Brother's residence.

Zheng Peng's Big Brother was named Zheng Jian, and he had already cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Yuangang Realm, making him a well-known Inner Sect Disciple.

Speaking of which.

The reason Zheng Peng dared to cause trouble everywhere within the Spirit Sword Sect and had a few followers was not because of his mediocre strength.

But because Zheng Jian backed him!

Zheng Peng found Zheng Jian at the fastest speed, and after briefly explaining the situation, Zheng Jian immediately flew into a rage!

"This guy named Xiao Ming is going too far!"

Zheng Jian said angrily, "Little Brother, don't worry, I'll go teach this guy a lesson now and make him pay the price!"

He paused, then Zheng Jian added, "Are you sure Xiao Ming is only in the Yuangang Realm?"

"Absolutely!"

Zheng Peng nodded and said, "However, Xiao Ming seems to be a True Disciple, so his status is a bit high."

Upon hearing this, a hint of disdain flashed across Zheng Jian's face.

"True Disciple? Heh, once I advance to the Danhu Realm, I'll also be a True Disciple! So, there's no need to fear his status!"

"Then Big Brother, what do you plan to do? Are you going to dismember his arm to avenge me?"

Zheng Peng said with a sinister expression.

Zheng Jian, however, shook his head.

"The sect strictly forbids disciples from killing each other, so I can't directly cripple him. However, the sect also has the Life-and-Death Arena to resolve conflicts."

Zheng Jian sneered, "I will kill Xiao Ming in front of all the disciples! I want all other disciples to know that I, Zheng Jian, am not to be trifled with!"

"What if he's a True Disciple? If his strength isn't enough, he'll still be a ghost under my spear!"

Saying this, Zheng Jian picked up a large green iron spear, and then, guided by Zheng Peng, he rushed towards Xiao Ming's location with an imposing aura.
