Yun Yun was like a mute eating coptis—unable to voice her bitterness. She felt that this Disciple of hers really didn't know how to be polite.
"Sigh! Forget it. During this time, Cultivate well and don't run around everywhere," Yun Yun sighed, feeling very depressed.
Seeing that Yun Yun had no intention of continuing to blame her, Lin Aoxue immediately gave a cheeky smile, apologized, and finally returned to her room.
The next day, an aged voice spread out from within the Yunxia Sect.
"The Yunxia Sect's mountain-opening recruitment, held once every fifty years, officially ends today. Those who did not pass the assessment, go back; you have no affinity with the immortals."
As soon as these words were spoken, the young boys and girls who were still climbing the stairs were immediately swept up by a strange storm. Then, amidst countless screams, everyone still on the stairs was blown down the mountain and landed at the foot of the mountain.
Not only that, when they landed at the foot of the mountain and looked up at the Yunxia Sect's mountain gate, they discovered that the stairs had disappeared. At the same time, the mounts of those Disciples who had successfully entered the Sect were immediately grabbed by a force and flew toward Yunxia Mountain.
Yunxia Mountain closed its mountain gate once again.
Looking at the Ye family and the Lin family in Qixia Town, the atmosphere in the town today was very oppressive; both families could not bring themselves to be happy.
"Sigh! It is fate. Since it is so, let them go. We can only say that our Lin and Ye families were destined for this. That the two of them could successfully enter the Immortal Sect can be considered a preservation of our two families' Bloodline," the patriarchs of the Lin and Ye families announced helplessly.
It's just that this time, immortals and mortals are separated; who knows what year or month it will be before they meet again.
Returning to Ye Liuyun's side, Ye Liuyun was currently fast asleep. She had refined Medicinal Pills for the entire day yesterday and was exhausted.
She did not notice that the Disciple token hanging at her waist was flashing with white light.
"All newly entered Disciples, please assemble at the Sect Training Grounds."
All new Disciples were to assemble today; it was likely something similar to a freshman orientation speech from Ye Liuyun's previous life. The higher-ups of the Yunxia Sect were holding a meeting.
There were nearly three hundred newly entered Disciples in the Yunxia Sect this time. Among them, more than ten, because of their good Aptitude, became Inner Sect Disciples directly.
The remaining people would follow the requirements and be introductory Disciples for three years. After reaching the Lingxi Realm, they would be promoted to Elementary Disciples. If they did not reach the Lingxi Realm within three years, they would be expelled from the mountain.
However, this matter had nothing to do with Ye Liuyun.
Currently, more than three hundred new Disciples were standing at the Training Grounds. Lin Aoxue was standing beside Yun Yun, and the Sect deacon responsible for managing the introductory Disciples was calling the roll one by one.
"Strange, where is Liuyun? Why hasn't she come?" Lin Aoxue looked around and found that Ye Liuyun was not in the crowd.
She suddenly became worried, fearing that if Ye Liuyun didn't show up, she would be punished by the Sect.
As one Disciple after another was called, it soon reached Ye Liuyun's name.
"Ye Liuyu?" the Sect deacon called out.
But unfortunately, he did not hear anyone respond, so he looked up in confusion.
"Ye Liuyu?" He called again, but unfortunately, there was still no answer.
"Is Ye Liuyu not here? Ye Liuyu, why are you not here? Who knows her?" The Sect deacon called Ye Liuyun's alias three times in a row.
The other Disciples looked at each other, because this Ye Liuyu had truly missed the introductory Disciple assembly.
The Elders of the Yunxia Sect and Yun Yun all frowned at the same time.
"Eh? Junior Martial Uncle, Ye Liuyu is my sister. She, she might have had something to do and forgot that there was an assembly today. I will go look for her," Lin Aoxue quickly stood up and said.
Seeing Lin Aoxue say this, the Sect deacon secretly glanced at Yun Yun. Seeing that Yun Yun had no expression, he quickly said.
"Oh, she is your sister? Then it's fine. Continue the roll call."
This Sect deacon was quite sensible. He certainly couldn't punish the future Sect Master's sister over a small matter; wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?
However, those Elders were a bit dissatisfied; they felt that this Ye Liuyu had broken the rules.
In the Yunxia Sect, reaching the first stage of the Dao Palace Realm, the Foundation Establishment Realm, would allow one to be promoted to a Sect deacon. Reaching the second layer, the Core Formation Realm, would allow one to become an Outer Sect Elder. Reaching the third layer, the Hua Ying Realm, would allow one to become an Inner Sect Elder. As for the fourth layer, the Soul Emergence Realm...
Currently, in the entire Yunxia Sect, only Yun Yun and the Yunxia Sect Grand Elder were at this Realm.
"Sect Master, this Ye Liuyu, although she is Senior Niece Ao Xue's sister, is so unruly that we must punish her slightly. After all, this is not the Mortal World," an Outer Sect Elder said.
As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Aoxue was unhappy, and she immediately glared at the Outer Sect Elder who had spoken.
Seeing Lin Aoxue looking at him with an unfriendly gaze, the Elder smiled sheepishly. But just at this moment, an Inner Sect Elder also spoke up.
"Sect Master, Elder Fu is right. A slight punishment is necessary," said the Inner Sect Grand Elder.
The Yunxia Sect had four Grand Elders in the Inner Sect and six in the Outer Sect.
Since the Inner Sect Grand Elder had spoken, Yun Yun couldn't pretend she hadn't heard, so she nodded helplessly.
"Fine, since you have all said so, then punish her by sweeping the mountain gate stairs for one month," Yun Yun announced.
As soon as these words were spoken, the new Disciples who had been somewhat unhappy finally dispelled the dissatisfaction in their hearts.
"Damn it, you old geezer, just you wait." Lin Aoxue kept this old guy in mind.
The assembly ended very quickly. Lin Aoxue had wanted to go find Ye Liuyun, but she was stopped by Yun Yun, who said that Ye Liuyun needed to suffer a little to know the rules.
Although Lin Aoxue wanted to help Ye Liuyun, Yun Yun had already announced the punishment for Ye Liuyun in public, and it wasn't a particularly serious punishment anyway, so Lin Aoxue had to let it go.
Ye Liuyun had woken up by this time.
"I'm exhausted. Old Hag, what time is it?"
Ye Liuyun sat up from the bed with a tired expression and then stretched lazily.
"It is the Si hour," Lin Qingyou replied.
"Oh, the Si hour? Ah? The Si hour? Damn, why didn't you wake me up? The new Disciples were supposed to assemble today, right?" Ye Liuyun was a bit confused at first, but immediately realized something was wrong.
But Lin Qingyou looked completely indifferent.
"Isn't it just an assembly? I saw that you were too tired yesterday, so I didn't have the heart to disturb you," Lin Qingyou answered solemnly.
But Ye Liuyun's expression turned ugly. She hurriedly packed up all the Medicinal Herbs and Medicinal Pills in the room, preparing to go to the Training Grounds.
Just as she walked out of the Immortal Cave, she ran into a man and a woman, two high-level Sect Disciples. At their waists hung a blue jade token with the words "Enforcement Disciple" written on it.
In other words, these two were Disciples from the Sect's Enforcement Hall.
The Sect's Enforcement Hall was specifically responsible for the punishment and supervision of Disciples within the Sect.
"You must be Ye Liuyu, right?" As soon as the two came over.
Upon seeing Ye Liuyun, the Male Disciple showed a slightly stunned expression of admiration, but the Female Disciple was very stern.
"Eh? Yes, this Senior Sister, is there anything you need from me?" Ye Liuyun asked with an innocent expression.
This expression of hers, paired with that face, truly made it impossible for anyone to tell that she intended to violate the Sect rules.
"Do you not know what you have done yourself? On the first day of officially entering the Sect, you violated the Sect's orders. The Sect has already issued an order to punish you. You are to sweep the mountain gate stairs for one month. We are Disciples of the Enforcement Hall, responsible for supervising you while you sweep the stairs." The Female Disciple took out the Enforcement token and announced with righteous indignation.
When Ye Liuyun heard that the Sect was punishing her by having her sweep those mountain gate stairs, her face immediately turned green.
