The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 125

Chapter 125: Complaining and Favoritism

You XiaoMo looked in disbelief at Li Jun who was actually preparing to strike. In his heart he feared that he wouldn’t be able to escape from all this today. Unexpectedly, a hoarse voice filled with anger suddenly raised by his ear. Turning around, he saw that it was the old man that guarded the library.

The old man looked sullen. After walking over he shifted his gaze onto the one that just said he wanted to teach You XiaoMo a lesson, Li Jun. His face was very solemn, his serious expression was filled with anger, making others feel anxious. He then spoke coldly, “If you don’t give old me a good reason, don’t even think of taking half a step inside the library for a year.”

Hearing these words, it was not just You XiaoMo that got anxious, Li Jun was as well.

Li Jun hastily explained, “Elder Sun, it’s not my fault. It’s You XiaoMo’s fault. He spoke insolently to me. That’s why I wanted to teach him a lesson.”

Then he repeated the insolent words that You XiaoMo said to him. Of course, he only did so selectively. He didn’t mention one word of what happened before. In short, whatever he can push onto You XiaoMo, he hammered onto him. In the end, he also pulled in the one watching the drama from the side, Jiang Liu.

“Elder Sun, every word of what I said is true. You can also ask Jiang-shidi. He was there at that time.”

You XiaoMo’s eyes bulged open. This person was really shameless. Inverting black and white and he still didn’t feel any shame.

Jiang Liu deliberately looked at You XiaoMo. The he put on a troubled face and hesitated before saying, “What shixiong said is right. But You-shixiong didn’t say it that way on purpose. Elder Sun, please don’t blame You-shixiong. I believe he didn’t mean it.”

Hearing his words, You XiaoMo couldn’t help frowning. These words seemed to be begging for leniency. But he was not in the wrong, so why beg for leniency? Like this, it was basically providing irrefutable proof.

If it wasn’t Elder Sun standing in front of them right now, but some other person, after hearing both their words, he would most probably fix the blame on You XiaoMo.

Then, as Li Jun smiled while delighting in the misfortune of others as he waited for You XiaoMo to be condemned, the serious-faced Elder Sun, not revealing the least bit of his thoughts, suddenly spoke to You XiaoMo, “Tell me what actually happened.”

Hearing these words, everyone was stunned.

Those that came to the library often, all knew that Elder Sun could be considered as the most serious person in the Tian Xin Sect. He never took sides, not caring which disciple was the Grand Master’s disciple. His thinking could be described as pedantic, because he placed a huge importance on rules.

That was why Li Jun’s face changed when he saw him coming in because he broke the rules of the library.

It was also because of this that Li Jun fought to be the first to throw accusations because he knew that as long as he shifted the blame to You XiaoMo, he wouldn’t have to worry about getting punished.

But he never expected that Elder Sun would actually ask You XiaoMo of his own accord. Thinking of how You XiaoMo could reveal everything that he failed to say, Li Jun immediately started to panic.

You XiaoMo also didn’t expect Elder Sun would actually ask him. He rejoiced as he says, “Elder, what happened is…”

He didn’t have the heart of the Virgin Mary and Li Jun actually dared to frame him so no one could blame him for telling the truth. Furthermore, it was someone that was hostile towards him so of course he was not going to go easy. So in a few words, he clearly explained the sequence of events.

Li Jun’s face at his side turned deathly white…

Just as expected, after listening to You XiaoMo’s words, Elder Sun’s piercing eyes looked threateningly at Li Jun. He said with a rather cold expression, “I has already said before. While in the library, you can only take one book at a time. As an senior, not only did you not serve as a role model, you also caused difficulties for your Shidi and disregarded the rules of the library. I would like to know when the books of the library became yours?” Saying this, he flung down his sleeves forcefully, the anger on his face extremely terrifying.

Li Jun felt his knees go weak as his face turned pale. He said with trembling lips, “Disciple…knows he is wrong. Elder please issue the punishment.”

Elder Sun snorted coldly, “Li Jun disregarded the rules of the library and disturbed the order of the library. The punishment is you are not allowed to enter the library for one year. If you have any objections, ask your shifu to come discuss it with me.”

How could Li Jun have the nerve to tell this to his shifu? He said weakly, “Disciple…has no objection.”

Tian Xin Sect’s library was very comprehensive, seemingly containing books of all kinds. Researching information, reading books as relaxation, all these were beneficial for training. So unable to enter the library for a year, for a lot of people, was worse than torture.

After punishing Li Jun, Elder Sun looked at You XiaoMo. The latter had an expression much like looking at death calmly in the face. A smile flashed across his face and then he said indifferently, “As for you, making a racket in the library, the punishment is you are not allowed to enter the library for three days.”

You XiaoMo was stunned. This was too…lenient. This basically didn’t hurt him nor make him itch. He quickly regained his senses and cupped his hands while speaking respectfully, “Yes Elder.”

Everyone was stunned. If they couldn’t tell that Elder Sun was being partial towards You XiaoMo, then their two ears would have grown in vain. Elder Sun who was famous for being stern was actually partial towards You XiaoMo. This was a really shocking thing!

You XiaoMo was already considered a minor celebrity in the Tian Xin Sect. It seemed as if everyone in the Warrior and Mage Divisions also knew his name. Before, even if Li Jun didn’t say his name, everyone would still be able to recognize him.

But this person that everyone regarded as a nobody in their hearts, was actually liked by the library’s Elder Sun. This was incredible news!

Darkness flashed across Jiang Liu’s eyes. After waiting for Elder Sun to leave, he said with a regretful expression to You XiaoMo, “You-shixiong, I’m sorry. I didn’t know that Li-shixiong is actually that kind of person. If I had known that he was like that to you earlier, I would have definitely not let him frame you.”

You XiaoMo revealed a rather obvious forced smile, “It’s alright. It’s only expected that you wouldn’t know.”

“You-shixiong, you don’t blame me?” Jiang Liu looked cautiously at his face while speaking.

“I never blamed you. I know that you didn’t know what happened. That’s why you said those words. Luckily the truth is out now!” You XiaoMo shook his head.

“That’s good.” Jiang Liu immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Then he ingratiatingly handed that troublesome scroll on high level demon beasts over to him, “You-shixiong. I’ll let you look at this scroll first. Take this as my apology for my wrongdoing. You must accept it at all costs. Otherwise I will take it that you won’t forgive me.”

“A…alright, it would be impolite for me to decline.” Seeing him speak so seriously, You XiaoMo couldn’t help but accept it.

Actually, he didn’t really have to look at this particular scroll. There were still a few mid-level demon beast scrolls that he hadn’t read. He wanted to read those first while waiting to see if other fellow disciples finish reading theirs. Unexpectedly, he ran into Jiang Liu, resulting in all the stuff that followed.

After that, Jiang Liu left early after not being able to find one for himself.

You XiaoMo took the scroll that he was given. He said he didn’t mind but that was actually not the case.

Although his relationship with Jiang Liu was not very close, they were after all from the same place. Furthermore, it was not as if he didn’t bring up the fact that Li Jun was wrong. Not only did he not help him out, he actually ganged up to accuse him, actually asking him to apologize.

And also those words that seemed to be begging for leniency. Now, thinking it over, he felt that it was not quite right. That was clearly pushing him into the fire pit . Actually, at that time, a huge lump immediately rose inside his heart.

As for the apology after that, although he accepted it, some things were very hard to remove once they had emerged. So You XiaoMo secretly made a decision. If he were to see him again, he must absolutely keep a distance away from him.

Jiang Liu had no idea as he left, that his fake ingratiating behavior didn’t have the slightest effect.

Returning to Capital Peak, You XiaoMo was a little depressed that he couldn’t go to the library for three days. Ever since Da Shixiong told him about the Paradise Realm, he couldn’t wait to hole up in the library for a few days. He urgently needed to get some information.

But thinking of Li Jun’s punishment of one year, he no longer felt depressed, making him feel much better.

That night, You XiaoMo spent four hours digesting the information he recorded down speedily in the library. The next morning, while he was fetching water for washing up to keep up appearances, he discovered that the news of that incident had already spread.

Many people were talking about how Elder Sun punished Li Jun angrily and also how he was partial towards You XiaoMo. Although most of them didn’t dare to say it openly, they still whispered about it among themselves. Most of them were saying how lucky You XiaoMo was.

But even though Elder Sun’s punishments were rather partial to You XiaoMo, the punishments he gave out were reasonable. That Li Jun really did break several rules of the library so he should be punished for a year.

You XiaoMo didn’t expect that the busybodies of Tian Xin Sect would be so amazing. Every time something happened to him, it would be get around in the shortest time, making him extremely depressed.

But You XiaoMo was a little hopeful that Ling Xiao would come look for him once he heard about this. But after waiting for a day, and still no sign of Ling Xiao, he would be lying if he said he wasn’t disappointed.

But he definitely didn’t know that the reason why Ling Xiao hadn’t come looking for him was because Tang Fan ordered him to not go running to Capital Peak all the time. In order to play the part of Lin Xiao, Ling Xiao had been obediently acting as a worthy ‘disciple’ these few days.

Two days later, after You XiaoMo refined a huge heap of level two magic pills, he finally decided to try refining level three magic pills, charging forward towards becoming a level three mage.
