170: Chapter 172 Lin Kuang Punishes Pei Yuhan

"Hmm?" Lin Kuang noticed the Sound Transmission Jade Slip lighting up, with a message: "Lin Kuang! Answer the call quickly, or if you don't, I'll... oh-ho-ho—"

"What is it?" Xia Qianzhen also noticed something was wrong. Because the Sound Transmission had a special Restriction, she could only see the Jade Slip glowing but couldn't hear the voice.

"Alright, that's enough for today!" Lin Kuang was a bit flustered and prepared to hang up on Xia Qianzhen's Sound Transmission Jade Slip.

"What?" Xia Qianzhen frowned at Lin Kuang and said dissatisfiedly, "Don't tell me you're the type to forget someone as soon as your pants are back on?"

"Are you kicking me out because you've entered Sage Mode? Or is this person very important?" Xia Qianzhen gave Lin Kuang a sidelong glance.

"Hahaha! Where did you learn all this? You're talking in such a sophisticated way now, completely different from when I first met you!"

Xia Qianzhen pinched Lin Kuang's arm and said unhappily, "I'm telling you, you're not allowed to answer her Sound Transmission!"

"Right now, your time is mine. I won't allow anyone to interfere!"

"I don't care who it is, no one can disturb the two of us today!"

After saying that, Xia Qianzhen grabbed his arm, pulled it toward herself, and then threw herself tightly into his embrace.

"How could that be? I wouldn't enter Sage Mode that quickly. Another ten rounds wouldn't be a problem!"

"It's just that person has requested a Sound Transmission many times. I thought I should reply to her..."

"Hmph! Let her wait. She has no sense of priority!" After saying that, Xia Qianzhen looked at Lin Kuang again and smiled mischievously. "This wouldn't happen to be your little lover, would it?"

"If it is, I want to make her anxious, make her unable to wait..." Xia Qianzhen wrapped her arms around Lin Kuang's neck and blew a soft breath.

"Ouch!"

"Hmm? What's this?" Lin Kuang pinched Xia Qianzhen's cheek. "I didn't expect Qianzhen to know mind-reading. You guessed that she's my little lover!"

"Fine, since you've guessed it, why don't you take a bold guess at who she actually is?"

"Does that even need thinking? It must be Sister Xiao Tang!" Xia Qianzhen blurted out.

"No, no, no! It's not her!" Lin Kuang gave a wicked smile.

"Oh? You actually dare to sneak around behind our backs!" Upon hearing it wasn't Yu Xiaotang, Xia Qianzhen instantly became furious and lunged at Lin Kuang.

"Ah—stop pinching, it hurts—"

"Did I tell you to go around attracting butterflies? Believe it or not, I'll make sure you don't have the strength to go find her!" After saying that, Xia Qianzhen picked up the Jade Slip and looked at it.

"Pei... Pei Yu... Yuhan..." Xia Qianzhen took a quick glance, and her hands couldn't help but tremble as she handed it back to Lin Kuang.

Xia Qianzhen hadn't expected Lin Kuang's lover to be Fairy Pei. Her originally arrogant attitude instantly vanished.

"See? She was my first lover, the one I was doing 'hehehe' with even before Xiao Tang!" Lin Kuang licked his lips and whispered in Xia Qianzhen's ear.

"I'll answer the call first. It won't be good if she gets angry in a moment!"

"I-I-I'll... go first... remember to tell Fairy Pei about my situation... if she's in a bad mood, then don't mention it for now..."

Xia Qianzhen didn't take it as the truth, thinking Lin Kuang was just joking, but it was definitely important if a Master was looking for her disciple.

It would be bad if Fairy Pei got angry later, especially since she currently felt like she was practically riding on Lin Kuang.

Boom...

As soon as Lin Kuang accepted Pei Yuhan's Sound Transmission, he heard the sound of rocks being shattered. "Honestly! How dare you not answer my Sound Transmission? Just wait, I'm going to skin you alive in a moment!"

"Oh? Are you talking about me?" Lin Kuang snorted coldly.

"Ah... no, how could Yuhan... dare..." As soon as Pei Yuhan heard Lin Kuang's voice, her body trembled involuntarily.

"Is that so?" Lin Kuang gave a wicked smile. "I was originally going to give you a big positive review in the 'little review' section!"

"But someone actually dared to speak ill of me behind my back! I think we'll just let this matter pass then!"

"If you don't have anything important, I'm ending the Sound Transmission!"

"Don't... Kuang'er, Master was wrong~" Hearing this, Pei Yuhan felt extremely distressed. She had endured for so many days, and it was over before it even began!

"What did you do wrong?" Lin Kuang said sternly.

"I... I shouldn't have talked about Kuang'er behind your back, I shouldn't have... been disrespectful to my disciple..."

Lin Kuang smiled slightly. "From Master's words, I see you know where you went wrong. Since you know, why didn't you know when I asked just now?"

"Master often says that if one knows their mistake, they must change; if they don't change, they must be punished. Right now, it is clearly Master's fault, yet you were hesitant to admit it. What should be done?"

Pei Yuhan stood up gently, her lotus-like back swaying in the wind, her figure outlined by the belt of her robe as beautiful as a dream.

Lin Kuang stood up slowly with a slight smile.

He knew Pei Yuhan was ready to repent.

Fairy Pei was about to lose face again...

Sure enough, as soon as Pei Yuhan returned to her Immortal Cave, this Fairy, who was aloof and elegant to the outside world, lifted the front hem of her white skirt and knelt gracefully on the ground.

Her raven-black hair fell from her cheeks. She looked at Lin Kuang through the Jade Slip with a beautiful, cloud-like gaze.

Lin Kuang stood before her and asked with a smile, "Master, why is this?"

Pei Yuhan spoke softly, "It was indeed Master's fault earlier. Master shouldn't have complained about Liner neglecting her. I was afraid of losing face in front of Sister Lu, so I came to the Immortal Cave!"

"Now, Master is admitting her mistake to her disciple. I hope you will forgive Master!"

She knelt on the cool floor, her head slightly lowered, her words as gentle as ever.

Lin Kuang said calmly, "As the Female Sword Immortal of the Qiongming Continent, you have made mistakes repeatedly and refused to change despite repeated instruction. What should be done?"

Pei Yuhan lowered her beautiful head even further. At this moment, she looked somewhat like an obedient young girl.

She tucked a lock of hair behind her ear with her slender fingers and said, "Master... will submit to whatever punishment the disciple deems fit."

Lin Kuang smiled slightly. "I originally wanted to punish you in front of Xiao Tang, but seeing how sincere you are in admitting your mistake this time, I'll let it go for now!"

Pei Yuhan bit her lip slightly. Just thinking about that scene made her long, exquisite legs tighten. She looked down. "Lin Kuang, you must know, I am only apologizing because I was wrong first this time!"

"It's not because of our Master-servant status. Outside, I am still your Master!"

Even though Pei Yuhan was kneeling on the ground, her words remained cold and carried a hint of authority.

Lin Kuang looked at this cold Female Sword Immortal talking so humbly and shook his head. "I don't care about that. Master knows her mistake and corrects it; you are indeed a good Master!"

Saying that, Lin Kuang sat on the edge of the hot spring rocks. Pei Yuhan naturally knew what Lin Kuang was going to do.

When Lin Kuang was angry, he liked to act according to the Sect rules...

Striking with a Ruler...

On the bottom...

Lin Kuang smiled slightly. "What should the punishment be?"

"According to the Sect rules, the Ruler on the palm! Since this is the first offense... the punishment is doubled!" Pei Yuhan said, biting her lip.
