Chapter 2153: Chapter 2153: Punishment
"Ming Xu, you old scoundrel, can’t you speak properly?" Nian Qianqian glared, "Do you believe I’ll beat you up?"
"Nian Qianqian, I used to hold back because you’re a woman, but now that you’ve made up with this old man, I won’t hold back anymore." Dao Xuzi glared back, "Come on, let’s see who beats who."
"Bring it on..." Hearing this, Nian Qianqian started rolling up her sleeves. Where was the previous ethereal aura? Her character had completely collapsed.
"Alright." Yang Ruxin watched the two of them, looking like fighting cocks, and felt a headache coming on. She quickly raised her hand to stop them, "If you want to fight, can you do it after we get down the mountain? Everyone camped out on the mountaintop for you all night, and now we’re exhausted and hungry. Do you really want to make us watch your childish bickering here?"
"Who’s childish?" Dao Xuzi frowned.
"What do you think?" Yang Ruxin glared at him.
"Fine, I’m childish." Dao Xuzi admitted in defeat.
"Thank you, everyone." Zhang Changyang clasped his fists and addressed everyone with poise.
"No need for such formality, Martial Uncle," Master Wuwang said a Buddhist chant, "we didn’t really do anything."
"Martial Uncle?" Yang Ruxin frowned, it seemed Master Wuwang and Zhang Changyang were about the same age.
"My master was the Closed-door Disciple of Master Tianxuan," Master Wuwang explained, "so technically, Changyangzi and Dao Xuzi are my martial uncles."
Yang Ruxin nodded, the hierarchy was indeed complex.
"The weather’s looking a bit gloomy today," Ming Yu glanced at the sky, "we should head down now. I’ve been thinking about the noodles with sauce that Madam made." He even smacked his lips as he spoke.
"Xinxin made noodles with sauce?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Changyang swallowed his saliva and quickly turned to Yang Ruxin, "Xinxin, you see, we’ve been hungry all night..."
"Serves you right." Yang Ruxin’s face darkened, "People who don’t cherish life and seek death on a whim can’t be easily forgiven, it’s disrespectful to life. So... I’m punishing you by not allowing you to eat my cooking for three days." With that, she turned and left.
"Xinxin..." Zhang Changyang and Nian Qianqian realized they were in deep trouble and hurried after her.
"Keep to the side, come back in three days," Dao Xuzi blocked their path.
"You..."
"That girl means what she says, you should know that by now. Pestering her now is useless," Dao Xuzi spread his hands proudly, "you might as well accept the punishment and try again in three days."
The two were instantly deflated.
After the skirmish and rescue, everyone received their penalties, and after descending the mountain, there was nothing more, so each person prepared to rest at their respective inns.
After all, the martial arts tournament wasn’t over yet.
In the evening, Yang Ruxin, to enforce her punishment on Zhang Changyang and Nian Qianqian, personally prepared a lavish feast and invited everyone who stayed behind to help on the mountaintop, as a form of gratitude.
"Xinxin, you’re so unfair." Zhang Changyang and Nian Qianqian, who weren’t invited, showed up uninvited, looking full of grievance.
"You two can stop acting pitiful." Yang Ruxin said sternly as she looked at them, "I don’t know what you two have been through, but you’ve always been highly respected seniors to me. However, your childish act of playing at suicide is something I cannot tolerate, so my decision stands."
