Chapter 557 Actively Demanding Punishment
"Junior brother, can we talk about something?" Mao Shikeng pleaded desperately.
"No way!" Lin Ping turned his head and answered without hesitation.
"Could you please not slap my face next time?"
"I already said no, unless I take out the pig-chopping knife." Lin Ping smiled sinisterly.
During this period, Lin Ping and Mao Shikeng experienced both pain and joy.
Lin Ping felt happy because he beat Mao Shikeng, but he suffered because he had to pay grain taxes every day.
Mao Shikeng was in pain because he was beaten, but happy because of Jiang Yunying's concern.
"That's strange. Why does he get hurt even though his senior sister scolds him every day?" Mao Shikeng was full of doubts as he watched the two of them go into Jiang Yunying's room again.
"This kid's face is getting paler every day; he must be suffering from internal injuries."
Thinking of this, Mao Shikeng felt much better and prepared himself to be beaten again.
"My lady, your period is about to start, isn't it?" Lin Ping asked expectantly.
"Husband, you're already complaining? Have you reached your limit?" Jiang Yunying gave him a disdainful look, thinking to herself, "It's bad enough that it's short-lived, but you're not even thinking about making up for it with more repetitions."
"No, no, no, I'm afraid my wife can't handle it." Lin Ping shook his head repeatedly, determined not to say no.
"That's good, otherwise all that medicine would have been for nothing," Jiang Yunying said, holding a brown medicine bottle.
"This is... a medicine to delay menstruation?" Lin Ping asked, dumbfounded.
“That’s right. I’ve let my husband down these past few months. Now that we finally have a chance to be together, I must make sure to satisfy him. Taking medicine a few times now and then is no big deal,” Jiang Yunying said with a smile that was brighter than any rose.
Lin Ping was moved to tears and hugged Jiang Yunying tightly, saying, "Am I the kind of animal driven by my lower body? Just holding my wife like this is enough. Please don't hurt yourself."
“This medicine lasts for a month after one dose. I won’t need to take it starting next month, so I can continue to satisfy my husband this month.” Jiang Yunying nestled against Lin Ping’s shoulder like a little bird.
Only in front of Lin Ping would she show the side of a woman she should have.
Lin Ping really shed tears, but it was unclear whether he was moved or frightened.
At Jiang Yunying's request, Lin Ping had to beat Mao Shikeng once a day. That morning, he didn't even go to the forbidden area and went directly to Mao Shikeng.
"Senior brother, I've made a mistake again. Please teach me a lesson," Lin Ping said, admitting his error.
"You made a mistake, yet I have to bear the pain. Where is justice?" Mao Shikeng was on the verge of tears, already prepared to be beaten.
As expected, Lin Ping's fist landed hard on Mao Shikeng's nose, instantly turning it into a massive bloodbath.
"Huh? Why isn't this guy fighting back today? It's so boring to fight him."
This idea is quite excessive. If you're going to fight, then fight. Why make Mao Shikeng perform a scene beforehand?
He was truly defeated by Lin Ping, and his health deteriorated day by day. He could no longer perform the romantic dance, let alone the "viewing flowers in the mist" dance.
Mao Shikeng felt like dying.
"Lin Ping, you have violated the palace rules by assaulting your fellow disciple. Surrender now!"
At that moment, a cold voice came from outside, not from Jiang Yunying, but from the extremely ugly Fan Xiaojian.
"Senior Brother Fan, Lin Ping not only trespassed into Master's training ground, but also assaulted people without cause. You must punish him according to the palace rules," Mao Shikeng said with a sneer.
This was clearly a scheme he had conspired with Fan Xiaojian. He vaguely felt that Jiang Yunying's punishment of Lin Ping was not severe enough and that the matter should be handed over to the Enforcement Hall for handling.
"No wonder this guy didn't fight back, he was waiting for Fan Xiaojian." Lin Ping gritted his teeth in hatred, never expecting Mao Shikeng to be so insidious.
His failure to retaliate proves that he did not accept Lin Ping's challenge. In this case, Lin Ping would be considered to have deliberately assaulted a fellow disciple and would be subject to punishment according to palace rules.
"Don't worry, Junior Brother Mao, the Enforcement Hall will handle this matter impartially." Fan Xiaojian smiled coldly.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, which is why Fan Xiaojian and Mao Shikeng joined forces.
"Senior sister, help! Fan Xiaojian is causing trouble on Hanyue Peak!" Lin Ping knew he was no match for Fan Xiaojian, so he hurriedly shouted at the top of his lungs.
Jiang Yunying was on her way when she heard Lin Ping's shouts and rushed over.
"Fan Xiaojian, this is Hanyue Peak, how dare you act so wildly here?" Jiang Yunying said angrily.
Whether in terms of martial arts skills or social status, Jiang Yunying is superior to Fan Xiaojian, so there is no need for her to be polite to him.
"Senior Sister Luo, your junior brother has violated the palace rules and should be handed over to the Enforcement Hall for processing. You're not going to interfere, are you? If I remember correctly, he once made inappropriate advances towards you. You won't speak up for such a person, will you?"
Fan Xiaojian said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
If he had only said the first half of the sentence, Jiang Yunying wouldn't have been afraid, but the second half reminded her.
To outsiders, Lin Ping had once taken liberties with Jiang Yunying, so she should have been disgusted with him. How could she possibly help him?
“Of course I won’t help him; I’m here to teach him a lesson,” Jiang Yunying said softly, afraid that her words would hurt Lin Ping’s feelings.
"That's right, I like being scolded by my senior sister, even if it means getting cut up," Lin Ping said with a grin, quickly clinging to Jiang Yunying's leg.
"Husband, can't we have some backbone?" Jiang Yunying covered her face with her hands, not wanting to have anything to do with Lin Ping.
"Senior sister, disciplining this lecher will only dirty your hands. You should hand him over to the Enforcement Hall unless you really want to help him."
Fan Xiaojian made his moves as he spoke.
Jiang Yunying stood there, unsure of what to do.
"Let me show you what true romance is!" Fan Xiaojian's murderous intent was palpable; he wished he could execute Lin Ping on the spot.
By the time Jiang Yunying reacted, the sword net had already reached the forest.
Even though he could clearly see through Fan Xiaojian's movements, Lin Ping was powerless to dodge. His physical strength had been greatly depleted in the past few days, which affected his performance.
"Am I going to die here?" Lin Ping was terrified, having come to a deep understanding of the meaning of dying under the peony blossoms, but he didn't find it particularly romantic.
"Who dares to run wild on my Cold Moon Peak!" A sharp voice rang out, accompanied by a flash of light.
Fan Xiaojian's clumsy swordplay was easily repelled by the light and shadow. If the opponent hadn't shown mercy, he would probably have been beheaded.
"Disciple greets Master Aunt," Fan Xiaojian said respectfully.
"What brings you to my Cold Moon Peak? Why did you injure my beloved disciple?" the Cold Moon Peak Master said coldly.
This statement is very informative, expressing both dissatisfaction with Fan Xiaojian and affection for Lin Ping.
“Junior Brother Lin has trespassed on your territory and violated the palace rules. He should be punished,” Fan Xiaojian explained in a low voice.
"I sent him," the peak master of Hanyue Peak said domineeringly.
These words shocked everyone; no one expected that Lin Ping would become the most favored disciple of the Cold Moon Peak Master.
“But he maliciously assaulted his senior brother, violating the palace rules,” Fan Xiaojian insisted.
"This was also at my behest. Besides, when did it become the business of the Enforcement Hall to interfere in the internal affairs of Cold Moon Peak?" The Cold Moon Peak Master's voice grew increasingly cold.
What happened to the promise of treating everyone equally? This seems a bit biased, doesn't it?
Mao Shikeng's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, completely lifeless.
Anyone with eyes can see that, in order to favor Lin Ping, the Peak Master of Hanyue Peak actually said things like he wanted to teach Mao Shikeng a lesson.
"Disciple...takes his leave." Fan Xiaojian slunk away, not forgetting to glare fiercely at Mao Shikeng, who turned out to be such a terrible teammate.
