1288 Words
Ye Xuan, Yuan Liong, and Oey Yong were startled by the shout, their faces pale, they had forgotten the basic rules of the library as well as the rules of the sect.
In this case, even though Yuan Liong has only been a student for a day, he already knows the library rules which read, “There can be no fights while in the library, harsh penalties apply to those who violate, be it old students, new students, and even core disciples!”
They had also violated one of the sect's rules which read, “No fighting between disciples is allowed unless the disciples have submitted an official challenge to a peer-to-peer match to the Law Enforcement Bureau!”
The scream accompanied by a high level of exertion was channeled from the first floor of the library. It was clear that the owner of the voice was Caretaker Meng who was shouting viciously.
“Kid! Do you think I don't know what you've done? You two have underestimated this Old Administrator too much! ... Ha ha ha! ...” continued Manager Meng, laughing sinisterly.
Management Meng is a person who is very dedicated to what he does.
Currently, he is the librarian, and right on the day he is on duty there is a student who violates. To him, there was no difference between old disciples and new disciples, all would be punished by Management Meng.
“What are you waiting for, come down here!” Manager Meng's screams were heard again.
Yuan Liong and Oey Yong immediately dashed before Manager Meng. Ye Xuan who was indirectly involved also darted along with them.
Ye Xuan felt responsible for Yuan Liong's behavior today, if he had insisted on restraining Yuan Liong earlier, maybe this could have been avoided.
“Give me your student identification token!” Manager Meng's orders.
The three of them obediently handed over-identification tokens, Administrator Meng accepted their tokens and then said, “You're a new student! From today it is f*******n to enter the library for three months.”
Facing Ye Xuan. “You Ye Xuan! It's been a year in college, but you can't stop your junior's behavior, you are sentenced to two months of not being allowed to enter the library.”
Finally, Manager Meng looked at Oey Yong. “While you are looking for a case with a new student! Student Oey, you are suspended from the library for four months.”
Finished with those words, caretaker Meng paused and took a breath, he continued, “The library ordinance violation is over, now listen to the verdict on the punishment for violating the sect rules–”
Before steward Meng had finished speaking, another voice was heard in the place.
“Wait a minute! I think Manager Meng only needs to be punished for violations in the Library Bureau, for violations of my sect's rules will punish them.”
Those words were spoken by a shadowy silhouette who had just arrived in front of the library building.
“Hoo! … It's Manager Bai from the Law Enforcement Bureau who came here! Okay! Violation of the sect rules you take care of.” Then he turned towards the three Yuan Liongs, continuing his speech, “Do you three object to my decision earlier?”
“Don't mind seniors!” They answered in unison.
Manager Bai, who had just come to the place, was one of the Administrators in the Law Enforcement Bureau. He is contemporaries with Manager Meng. Bai Pengzhi is a very eccentric person, no one can guess what is inside his head.
His personality is the exact opposite of his expression and tone of voice. Manager Bai's tone of voice is soft, pleasant, and very pleasing to the ear. People will think he is a compassionate person. However, every punishment he prescribes is notoriously cruel and heartless.
Seeing Caretaker Bai, Ye Xuan paled, standing up trembling. Meanwhile, Oey Yong even though his face was slightly pale, at a glance seemed to smile, he thought that Bai's caretaker would give him a little relief because he was also a follower of the Law Enforcement Bureau.
In contrast to Yuan Liong, although he was a little pale, he still had a calm look on his face.
“Okay!”
“Okay!”
“Don't be afraid and there's no need to be tense, just relax!” said caretaker Bai, pointing at them one by one, continuing with a smiling face. “My punishment will be of great interest to you, there is no need to be afraid.”
Then he continued, “Hmm! You're a vassal of the Library Bureau who can't stop your friend from fighting!” Caretaker Bai held his chin, as if in thought.
“Ah! Yes! A punishment that suits you, you will be a Sect Housekeeper for two months, without obtaining any cultivation resources!” Caretaker Bai immediately moved towards Ye Xuan, his hands forming a certain seal, sealing Ye Xuan's inner strength.
Every movement and word is all done with elegance and also a smiling face.
Then he continued, “And you, the vassal disciple of the Law Enforcement Bureau! ... Hmm! Your punishment... Ah! It's easy, confinement in the Sect Prison for four months and receiving a hundred lashes.”
“And lastly, you are the new disciple that Elder Zhou brought in! Because you're a new disciple, and already dared to break the sect's rules. Life experience is more important to you! The most appropriate punishment for you is exile to the Thousand Illusionary Hill for two months.”
The joy was visible on his face after giving the punishment.
Yuan Liong, who felt the punishment was a little unfair, refuted loudly, “What the hell? Why is my punishment different from theirs? I think the punishment he received was lighter.” While pointing at Oey Yong.
“You want to argue with me, kid? Ha ha ha! My decision never changes, your punishment will take effect from the next two days, so prepare yourselves in these two days!” Caretaker Bai flashed and disappeared from the place.
Yuan Liong had become a fool himself, this was the first time he had met a human who behaved strangely like that. With a smiling face, gentle words, and elegant gestures but her decisions are so heartless.
“I don't know which nerve has been severed by Caretaker Bai!” thought Yuan Liong.

He Fei, who was practicing Punch Skills in the front yard, immediately ended his training, after the arrival of two human shadow figures with languid and disappointed faces. He recognized the two as neighbors and college juniors on the hill, didn't he? It was Ye Xuan and Yuan Liong.
“What happened to you two? Why are you so sluggish?” asked He Fei to open the conversation.
“For the next two months Senior He will be living here alone, we just caused a bit of trouble in the library and each of us got punished by Administrator Bai.”
Then Ye Xuan briefly explained what happened to Senior He Fei.
“Come to think of it, the punishment Junior Yuan received was a bit heavy, huh! There's no question about this, remember that it was the people from the Law Enforcement Bureau who gave the punishment.”
“It is this Bureau that has made things difficult for our Bureau's disciples the most in recent years, so Junior Yuan doesn't need to protest. Now, keep practicing! Soon we will silence the Bureau Managers who are arrogant with our strength!”
He Fei calmed his juniors, as well as motivated them, his authority as a senior could be seen from that attitude.
