Chapter 99: The Young Lady’s Punishment

Xiao Ruoshui’s arrival instantly silenced the entire Martial Arts Arena. All those present were young people, each gazing at Xiao Ruoshui with intense admiration. However, their looks, though passionate, held no disrespect.

It was a kind of appreciation, an appreciation of beauty.

Xiao Ruoshui was so beautiful; she was like a pure lotus flower, completely spotless.

She was like the bright moon in the sky, perfect and flawless.

Even Yun Yi couldn’t help but stare; he had seen many beautiful women in Yun Country, including the daughters of powerful families, but when compared to Xiao Ruoshui, they were not even close—the difference was truly enormous.

"So beautiful."

Yun Yi couldn’t help but express his admiration.

A thousand rivers cannot compete with a single smile.

"Miss."

Xiao Liufeng and Yuan Zhongshan spoke at the same time. Xiao Ruoshui’s own power was only at the first grade of the Lingyuan Realm, not even reaching the second grade, and her cultivation was far weaker than theirs, but they still had a deep respect for Xiao Ruoshui.

Xiao Ruoshui, the top talent of the Yanwu family, had a unique Dual Spiritual Body. She was also the Chief Steward of the Yanwu family. The clan leader rarely appeared, and Xiao Ruoshui managed all family matters. It was fair to say that Xiao Ruoshui led the Yanwu family to dominate Xuanzhou State, competing with the other three major powers.

She showed wisdom and maturity beyond her years, and held absolute power in the Yanwu family, above all others.

To Xiao Liufeng, Xiao Ruoshui had grown up under his watchful eye, and he cared for her deeply. Xiao Liufeng felt genuine happiness for Xiao Ruoshui’s achievements and wisdom today.

"Ruoshui has met both Elders."

Xiao Ruoshui bowed to the two, showing her humility and respect as a younger member.

Then, Xiao Ruoshui turned to Yun Yi and couldn’t help but say, "You just can’t stay calm, can you? I asked you to go to Ruoshui Garden to see me, and now here I am, coming to see you."

Xiao Ruoshui’s words were filled with blame. After Yun Yi finished fighting with Duan Tianye, she thought it was over and turned to leave. She had even sent Elder Zhang to tell Yun Yi to meet her, signaling that today’s events were finished, and they should not be mentioned again. Even if Yun Yi made a mistake and harmed an elder, it should have been forgotten.

What left Xiao Ruoshui speechless was that just as she walked away, Yun Yi caused an even bigger incident by directly injuring Yuan Hui, attracting the attention of two Lingyuan Realm elders. This forced her, as Chief Steward, to intervene personally. After all, they were all part of the Yanwu family, and if two respected elders continued to argue, there could be terrible consequences, affecting everyone involved.

"It’s not that I can’t stay calm; I just did what I had to do. I was seeking justice for Huang Long. He should be grateful that this is the Yanwu family; if it were elsewhere, he would already be dead."

Yun Yi spoke up, stating this was his original intention. If given another chance, he would also dispose of Yuan Hui, both for avenging Huang Long and to remove a danger for himself.

"You are so bold! Who do you think you are to speak like that in front of the young lady?"

Yuan Zhongshan pointed at Yun Yi and shouted, then turned to Xiao Ruoshui and clasped his hands together, "Miss, you can see this is a reckless person. Keeping someone like him in the Yanwu family would seriously damage our family’s reputation. I think we should dispose of him right away."

"Stop your nonsense! Are you saying that my disciple can just be disposed of?"

Xiao Liufeng was immediately upset. It looked like the two were about to start fighting right in front of Xiao Ruoshui.

"Alright, I will handle this matter myself."

Xiao Ruoshui quickly spoke up.

"Please, young lady, help my grandson."

Yuan Zhongshan immediately gave a deep bow to Xiao Ruoshui.

"Elder Yuan, why must you go through such great ceremony? How can Ruoshui bear it?"

Xiao Ruoshui quickly helped Yuan Zhongshan up. Being the Chief Steward was not easy for her either; she had concerns when doing her job, especially with an elder like Yuan Zhongshan, who is highly respected. If she didn’t provide him with an explanation, it would be hard to resolve the matter.

"Young Miss, please make a decision for us."

Just then, a voice filled with tears came from outside the Martial Arts Arena. The Grand Elder and Second Elder from the third-class area came over crying, and when they saw Xiao Ruoshui, they bowed repeatedly, almost falling to their knees.

"Damn it, they are making it worse."

Seeing this, Bai Song couldn’t help but curse.

"The situation was already difficult, and with the Grand Elder and Second Elder here, things are even worse for Senior Brother Yun."

Another person furrowed their brow and said.

Right now, the issue of Yun Yi harming Yuan Hui was already hard enough to solve, and now the two elders from the third-class area had come to complain. In front of so many disciples, Xiao Ruoshui, as the young lady of the Yanwu family and Chief Steward, must handle this fairly; otherwise, it would lead to a bad influence.

"Miss, you have to speak up for us. This Yun Yi, on his very first day, showed no respect to his elders and attacked both of us."

"We hope you can give us an explanation. We’ve lost all our dignity, and if you do not support us, how can we manage in the third-class area from now on?"

The Grand Elder and Second Elder looked very wronged as they lamented their miserable fate; they truly appeared incredibly distressed.

"Keep it together! After all this time, as family elders, crying out in public is simply disgraceful."

Xiao Liufeng could no longer watch and spoke out in disgust.

The two were so scared they trembled and immediately stopped complaining, as Xiao Liufeng was someone they could not afford to provoke.

"Kid, fighting with your fellow disciples is one thing, but why did you hit an elder? You came on your first day and already struck an elder—you’re really living up to my expectations."

Xiao Liufeng’s voice reached Yun Yi’s ears, and it was clear that Xiao Liufeng was also very upset; after all, it is unacceptable for a disciple to hit an elder.

Xiao Ruoshui’s expression was calm, but there was a hint of disdain for the two elders in her brows.

Then, Xiao Ruoshui looked at Yun Yi and said, "Yun Yi, you have severely injured an elder, charged into the second-ranked area, and harmed your fellow disciples. Your actions are unforgivable. I am now going to punish you in my role as Chief Steward."

Xiao Ruoshui paused for a moment and continued, "I have found out that the City Master of Jade Wheel City, Pan Hong, is colluding with the Demon Human, practicing dark magic, and capturing young girls everywhere. This has caused great anger in Jade Wheel City. In seven days, Pan Hong will kill the captured girls on the night of the full moon to extract their virgin blood for his dark magic. I want you to go to Jade Wheel City to restore order and bring me Pan Hong’s head. This is both a punishment and a task."
