Hua Rou looked up at Tang Xiao with a sincere apology: "Brother, you're right. I was too foolish. I won't do this again in the future!"

  At the moment when the sweat towel broke, she had already regretted it. It was not worth paying with her own life for a stone lotus flower. She had underestimated the danger. ... Cop Tang Xiao saw Hua Rou's sincere apology and his expression also eased up, his voice softened: "Alright, don't do this again in the future, hurry back! The sky is going to be dark, it's not safe on Medicine Mountain!"

  "Yes, senior brother!"

  Hua Rou climbed up and slung her basket on her back, only to find that Tang Xiao was heading into the depths of Yao Shan.

  "Big Brother! Aren't you going down the mountain?"

  Tang Xiao turned around to look at Hua Rou's puzzled expression, and kindly explained: "I have to search the mountain every night, in case any disciples are too tired or lazy and sleep in on the mountain. By the time they wake up when it gets dark, it will be dangerous. You should head down the mountain quickly!"

  "Ah, thank you, senior brother."

  "Let's go!" Táng Xiāo turned around and walked away with big strides. Huā Róu looked at his back, a grateful smile rising on her face.

  He saved me again!

  ……

  The sky was getting darker and darker, after lighting the candle and putting on the lampshade, Linlin looked anxiously at the west wing - it was still pitch black over there.

  "Hey Linyin, take a closer look and think carefully about what you want!"

  Ling Ling immediately lowered her head: "I... of course will be with you."

  The child giggled and smiled, at this time the courtyard door creaked open, and Hua'er was back. The child threw a few pieces of candy, and leaned over to look out the window.

  Hua Rou carried a bamboo basket into the courtyard and returned to her room. The west wing of the house soon lit up.

  "Lingling, go take a look, is she very disappointed?" Zi Hua pointed at Lingling, and Lingling didn't dare to shirk away and went out.

  The child climbed down from the bed and walked up to Zi Qi, who was reading a book, muttering in a low voice: "This girl actually ran back..."

  Zi Qi was reading a book and looked up at her with a glance: "Just come back if you're coming back!"

  Since learning that this girl was a waste of time, Zi Qi had never taken her seriously again and naturally lost interest in everything about her.

  Zi Qi continued to lower her head and read, Zi Hua saw this and pouted.

  Ling Ling has come back now.

  "How?"

  Ling Ling shook her head: "Can't see the expression clearly."

  The child's eyes rolled around, and his expression turned gloomy.

  ……

  The night was deep and quiet, with moonlight pouring in from outside the window, illuminating the interior as brightly as daylight.

  The child climbed out of bed, walked to the table and poured himself a glass of water in the moonlight, then looked towards the west wing.

  After taking a sip of water, Zihua put down the cup and quietly opened the door to head towards the west wing.

  Ling Ling turned over in bed and saw that the door was open and Zi Hua had slipped out wearing only his underclothes.

  What is she doing at this late hour?

  Ling felt strange, she sat up biting her lip and stared at Zi Hua as he climbed in through the open window of the west wing...

  As soon as Zihua entered the house, after waiting for a moment, she could see everything inside the house clearly.

  She rushed to the basket, found it was empty, and then saw the herbal package on the table. She immediately opened it and searched for something. When she found Shi Er, her whole body froze.

  A moment later, she turned her head and stared at the sleeping Huā Róu, clenching the stone ear in her hand, re-wrapping the herbal package, and then climbed out of the window again.

  The whole process, Hua Rou slept very soundly and didn't notice at all. She was still immersed in her dream, eating the rice cake with big mouthfuls.

  As soon as Linlin saw her drawing come out, she immediately crawled back into her quilt and pretended to sleep.

  ……

  Tang Jiuer sat in the main seat, looking at the four disciples standing below her, with four open packets of materials on the table in front of her.

  "I told you before to prepare the materials I need early today, otherwise you will be punished." Tang Jiuer scanned the crowd and his eyes fell on Hua Rou: "Hua Rou, among the four of you, only your materials are not ready."

  "How is this possible?" Hua Rou was shocked, she had clearly checked her bag last night.

  "Come and see for yourself!"

  Hua Rou immediately went forward to check, and after a quick comparison, she found that some of the stone ears she had risked her life to pick were missing.

  "What...my stone ear? I clearly..."

  "I don't want to hear any explanations." Tang Jiuer's face turned cold: "You will go to the penal hall right now and receive punishment for 'disobeying orders'."

  Ling Ling looked at Tang Jiu Er in shock, seemingly not understanding why she wanted to punish Hua Rou. However, Tang Jiu Er's expression was very cold as her gaze swept over the crowd before falling back on Hua Rou.

  Hua Rou felt wronged, but now the herbal pack indeed had fewer stone ears. She couldn't argue at all. Looking at Tang Jiu Er's angry face, she gritted her teeth and responded: "Yes, Master."

  Hua Rou went to the trial hall and repeated her "crime" according to Tang Jiu'er's instructions.

  Hall master Tang Zhan heard that there was a violation of the teacher's order, and directly stated: "Violating the teacher's order, according to the door rules, first-time offenders will be punished with ten sticks!"

  Hua Rou was then taken to the wooden frame, where she hugged a large pillar in distress, and allowed a disciple to hit her buttocks ten times with a three-inch-wide black lacquer board.

  This time, it was a real beating, every step she took was difficult, and she gritted her teeth in pain.

  Several disciples passing by saw her like that and couldn't help but discuss it, occasionally a few snickers could be heard.

  But Hua Rou didn't care about these things, she kept thinking about who took away that stone ear flower.

  Zi Hua Zi Qi was making things difficult for me when she was picking herbs yesterday, and today she has a look of watching a good show on her face. It's 99% likely that it's those two sisters! The thing is, I had put it away properly before I went to sleep last night, so if it's gone, someone must have moved it at night... I was too careless... And why didn't I check again this morning before handing it in?

  Hua Rou inadvertently lifted her head in self-reproach, and met a pair of familiar eyes.

  She had unknowingly walked out of the mechanism room, and Mu Junwu and Tang He stood at the door of the mechanism room saying something, and at this moment Mu Junwu was looking at her.

  Subconsciously, Hua Rou wanted to stand up straight and cover herself from the punishment, but her movements were a bit too big and too fierce, which made her inhale sharply in pain. Her expression was distorted, and tears couldn't help but well up in her eyes.

  Hua Rou immediately lifted her hand to wipe away tears and awkwardly turned her head to walk forward, wanting to escape.

  The more she walked in a hurry, the more painful it was. The more painful her expression became distorted, and her movements were even stranger, making herself increasingly embarrassed.

  As emotions piled up, when Hua Rou finally walked out of the door of the dormitory building, trying to cover it up, tears burst out and she couldn't hold back anymore. She cried and sobbed as she walked back - she really felt too ashamed.

  Tang He's gaze returned from Hua Rou's body and continued to talk to Mu Junwu, apparently not paying attention to Hua Rou's situation, while Mu Junwu's eyes kept following the back of Hua Rou.

  "Brother Wu, you can't shirk this Five Elements Formation matter anymore! Otherwise, how will we account to the Sect Master?"

  "Master, you are the head of the government house, while I am just a disciple who was forced to enter the door."

  Mu Jun was about to turn around and leave when Tang He grabbed him: "Young man, you were the one who broke the Five Directions Formation. You have no choice but to take responsibility for resetting it."

  "You have no interest."

  Tang He sighed and said: "He Tu".

  You're just going to bring up "The Art of War" and "Guiguzi", but it's useless.

  You still want to leave, Tang He hastily said: "If I promise that you can leave the Tang Sect in three years and be free from then on?"
