Cai Xiuping pondered for a moment and asked slowly: "Zhan Ran, can anyone testify?"
Gong Qingyun hurriedly said: "I can testify!"
"Tell me about it." Cai Xiuping nodded, without any joy or anger, and his expression was indiscernible.
To decide Li Muchan's fate, Gong Qingyun told the truth this time, told the truth as he saw it, and even lied a little.
She said that when she yelled to stop and rushed over, Fang Shaohua jumped over the wall and immediately started to kill Li Muchan who was sitting on the ground.
Li Muchan spoke vaguely about this part, and there was no flaw in her words.
After Gong Qingyun finished speaking, Cai Xiuping didn't speak for a long time, his eyes slightly closed, like an old monk in meditation.
Mei Ruolan did not rush, her expression was calm, and her blurred eyes shrouded Li Muchan and Gong Qingyun.
Li Muchan's eyes were lowered, calm and peaceful, and he moved the beads with his left hand, one by one, slowly and calmly, with an aloof demeanor.
Gong Qingyun's face was tense, her bright eyes staring at Cai Xiuping without blinking, as did Commander Jin and Li Mufeng.
For a moment, the whole room could hear a pin drop.
After a while, Cai Xiuping slowly opened his eyes, cupped his fists and said, "Miss, your flattery is very kind, so just punish him to face the wall!"
Gong Qingyun's tense body relaxed, and she took a long breath. She turned to look at Li Muchan, but his expression remained motionless, as if he was someone else's business.
She couldn't help but get annoyed and gouged out a hard look.
Jin Kaitai smiled brightly and laughed.
Mei Ruolan glanced at him in confusion, and he immediately shut up, but couldn't suppress his smile.
He has been in the government for many years and knows very well that the eldest lady is strict in upholding the law and will never be recognized by her relatives. Although Zhan Ran is a genius, the eldest lady will never be lenient.
Mei Ruolan glanced at Zhao Faning lightly: "Deacon Zhao, what do you think?"
Zhao Faning looked solemn and said slowly: "Since I was protecting myself and accidentally killed someone, my crime can be reduced by one level. In my opinion, facing the wall for one year is too light, let's just give it two years!"
"Old Zhao, you are so unreasonable! ...According to me, it has been heavy for a year. That bastard Fang Shaohua deserves to die!" Jin Kaitai frowned and said in a rough voice.
Zhao Faning had a serious face and said solemnly: "If you don't follow the government regulations, the disaster will be huge!"
"Okay, Lao Zhao, are you deliberately making trouble?!" Jin Kaitai glared at him fiercely.
He was bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. When Cai Xiuping spoke, he listened honestly and did not dare to refute a single word. But it was different with Zhao Faning. The two had equal qualifications and there was no need to be polite when speaking.
"Okay!" Mei Ruolan raised her hand, and the two of them immediately sat up straight, not squinting.
Mei Ruolan said calmly: "Face the wall for a year and a half!... Gong Qingyun failed to stop him, so he was banned for half a year!"
"The eldest lady is wise!" Cai Xiuping clasped his fists, and the others could only agree.
"Zhanran, do you have anything to say?" Mei Ruolan looked at her with bright eyes, blurred and flashing, and she was fascinated.
Li Muchan lowered his eyes slightly and titheted: "Disciple is willing to be punished."
His expression was calm, like the water of a clear lake, but he was sighing secretly in his heart.
No matter what life you are in, strength is always respected. This time, if someone else is replaced, it is difficult to escape the rules of the palace. If you want to abolish martial arts and be kicked out of the palace, you have to face the wall for a year and a half, which is the easiest thing to do.
As for depression, it is inevitable that there will be some, but it will be extinguished quickly. A man can bend and stretch, but he has to bow his head when he is under the roof. Now that his strength is low, he cannot do whatever he wants.
For today's plan, everything is in vain. Only by practicing martial arts hard can you find the right path. Only by practicing martial arts to the best in the world can you be free and happy in the world.
At this moment, he was full of ambition and determined to be the best in the world.
"Okay!" Mei Ruolan nodded and turned her head and said, "It's enough for everyone to know about this. There is no need to spread the word to avoid disturbing people's hearts."
"Yes." Several people looked at Li Muchan with strange expressions.
The eldest lady is obviously protecting Zhanran, which is rare.
"Miss, I want to talk to my third brother." Li Mufeng said, cupping his fists.
Mei Ruolan nodded lightly: "Well, let's go."
Li Mufeng took two steps forward and pulled Li Muchan out.
The courtyard is surrounded by plum blossoms, and there is a faint fragrance.
The two stopped in front of the Moon Gate in the south. Li Mufeng lowered his voice, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "San'er, you..."
Li Muchan smiled but said nothing.
"You should have told me in advance!" Li Mufeng complained.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "The eldest lady can't get rid of the sand in her eyes and has a very insightful mind. If the eldest brother knows, it will be harmful rather than helpful."
"This..." Li Mufeng was startled, sighed helplessly, and nodded.
Once I find out, I must connect them. The eldest lady has great eyesight. Once she sees through it, the punishment will be heavier. Now it is best to face the wall for a year and a half.
Judging from the appearance of the third brother, he has the pearl of wisdom in his hand, and he has obviously figured out everything. When it comes to magnanimity and resourcefulness, the third brother is indeed unmatched!
"San'er, I know you are arrogant and have no restraint..." Li Mufeng said worriedly.
"Brother, don't worry!" Li Muchan waved his hand and smiled: "A thin arm can pull a thigh, which is not what a gentleman would do!"
Li Mufeng stared at him for a long time and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good!"
"You two brothers, what are you talking about in whispers?" There were footsteps behind him, and Jin Kaitai walked closer and said, "Deputy Deacon, I want to say a few words to Zhan Ran!"
Li Mufeng nodded: "Okay."
He said to Li Muchan: "San'er, just stay here in peace. When I get home tonight, I will tell you that you are in seclusion."
"Brother, be nice to your sister-in-law!" Li Muchan nodded.
Li Mufeng was startled, looked in the direction of the main room, turned to glare at him, walked out of the Moon Gate in embarrassment, and left directly.
Li Muchan laughed, turned to Jin Kaitai, and saluted: "Commander, I am extremely grateful!"
"Don't say it's useless!" Jin Kaitai waved his hand, interrupted him in a rough voice, and said in a deep voice: "Facing the wall this time is an opportunity, calm down and practice hard!"
Li Muchan nodded.
"This is the sword manual of the Eight Swords of Zhenyue. Come on, let me demonstrate it to you twice." He took out a thin silk book from his pocket, which was yellowish in color.
Li Muchan took it without hesitation, quickly looked through it, and burned it into his mind. It became a ball and he could never forget it.
After watching him finish reading, Jin Kaitai took out his sword from its sheath, slowly stroked it, and performed a set of sword techniques.
The sword moves were simple and slow, but the sword became brighter and brighter. Eventually, it was so dazzling that one dared not look directly at it.
There are eight moves in total, the sword moves like the wind, and the plum branches around it keep swaying.
Li Muchan's gray monk's robes fluttered, his body remained motionless, his eyes never blinked, imprinting every detail.
After rehearsing it once, Jin Kaitai did not stop, then did it again, and then stopped three times in a row.
He estimated that Li Muchan had already remembered it.
Zhao Faning walked over slowly, shook his head and smiled: "Commander Jin, you have worked very hard!"
"Get out of here!" Jin Kaitai glared.
Zhao Faning smiled slightly and said to Li Muchan: "Zhanran, don't blame me for being cruel. You are young and energetic. How can you kill someone when you are fighting with the same sect?"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Yes, I am so angry that I have lost my mind."
Zhao Faning said solemnly: "I hope you can have a long memory! ... Our Mei Family can gain a firm foothold in Jinyang City because of unity! Who dares to join you if such a thing happens again?"
"Yes." Li Muchan nodded solemnly.
"Okay, Zhao, don't talk about these big principles and delay my business!" Jin Kaitai impatiently waved his long sword, cold light flashing.
Zhao Faning glanced at him and walked away with a wry smile.
Jin Kaitai watched him leave and curled his lips: "This guy is modeled after your elder brother. He is serious and very tiring!"
Li Muchan smiled but said nothing.
This Zhao Faning is truly upright, upright and stern, and is truly beyond reproach.
Jin Kaitai sheathed his sword and said: "Zhan Ran, you have to choose from many. This set of Eight Swords of Zhenyue is the most suitable for you. Use clumsiness to make skill and strength to make up for skill. You have to practice hard!"
"Yes, Commander!" Li Muchan was moved.
Jin Kaitai said: "This time Quan Dang is in seclusion, and he will become a blockbuster when he comes out!"
"I will definitely live up to the commander's expectations!" Li Muchan said with a smile.
"Zhan Ran, the lady is calling you!" Xiao Yuan suddenly appeared and said softly.
Jin Kaitai waved his hand: "Go!"
Li Muchan titheed and turned back to the main room.
Mei Ruolan sat elegantly in the middle and looked calmly: "Zhanran, from today on, you will stay at the observatory and you will not be able to step down until a year and a half."
Li Muchan nodded: "Yes."
He smiled secretly in his heart, the eldest lady took a lot of trouble to arrange this.
Mei Ruolan turned to Gong Qingyun: "Qingyun, stay here!"
"Yes, Miss." Gong Qingyun whispered.
Mei Ruolan looked at her, shook her head, and turned to Li Muchan: "Zhanran, say goodbye to Yuzhen and the others, and then go directly to the star observatory!"
Li Muchan titheed, and the monk's robe fluttered out.
Gong Qingyun lowered her head and sent him away out of the corner of her eye. Seeing that he didn't look at her, she felt lost and empty.
Mei Ruolan kept staring at her. Seeing this, her blurred eyes flickered twice and sighed: "Qingyun, you..."
"Miss, I..." Gong Qingyun murmured.
Mei Ruolan said calmly: "At your age, it's a good time to practice martial arts. You have to focus on nothing else and don't let other things disturb your mind."
"...Yes." Gong Qingyun's fair face turned red.
Mei Ruolan said calmly: "Zhanran is a monk, and someone from outside the world is not a good match."
Gong Qingyun blushed even more and said hurriedly: "Miss, I..."
Mei Ruolan interrupted her: "Moreover, he has successfully cultivated Buddhism and has seen through the world of mortals. His heart has been cultivated as solid as a rock. He is aloof from the world and is difficult to restrain... Falling in love with him will only cause sadness. Don't do it.
Self-mistaken!"
Practicing the indestructible magic skill, he was in extreme pain, but he could survive for an hour. It was really inhuman, and his mental tenacity was beyond imagination.
Such a person cannot be moved by external objects, so trying to impress him is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Gong Qingyun's expression suddenly dimmed, and she suddenly woke up as she recalled the scenes of Zhanran's treatment of herself.
Mei Ruolan saw her in a daze, shook her head, and left lightly.
