Chapter 889: Chapter 889: The Great Elder Appears

"He flirted with me, doesn’t that count as a heinous crime?"

If an ordinary female disciple said this, it would surely cause the people around to burst into laughter.

Flirting at most suggests Liu Zixuan has some issues with his lifestyle, and besides, who wouldn’t want to chat up a stunning beauty when they meet one?

But upon hearing these words, the brows of the two elders Yang and Ming furrowed into the shape of the character ’川’!

Clearly, this tall beauty is not an ordinary female disciple.

The two elders exchanged glances, then Elder Yang walked up to Liu Zixuan, lowering his voice to a whisper for only the two of them to hear, "Did you really flirt with her?"

"Both of you elders surely understand the circumstances, but flirting shouldn’t count, right? A fair lady and a gentleman should pursue each other; I merely did what a normal man would do!" Liu Zixuan spread his hands and laughed.

"If it were other women, it would be different, but you shouldn’t have involved the little witch of the Profound Sword Sect. If it were just Gu Huaqiu slandering you, Elder Ming and I would definitely help you, but now..." Elder Yang stopped talking.

The implication was clear; in front of this little witch, even as elders of the Punishment Hall, they couldn’t help.

Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow: "What exactly is her identity?"

"She is..."

"Elder Yang, what are you doing here? I asked you to punish him, not to whisper with each other!" The tall beauty shouted angrily.

Elder Yang pursed his lips, glanced at Liu Zixuan, and returned to his position: "Xiaoxiao, Liu Zixuan was brought by me and the Fifth Elder, and there’s absolutely no ulterior motive. This is Gu Huaqiu falsely accusing him!"

The tall beauty called Xiaoxiao expressed her displeasure: "I’m not talking about Gu Huaqiu’s matter now; I’m talking about him flirting with me!"

"Well... you see, he’s new here and doesn’t know your identity. Considering how pretty you are, it’s inevitable he’d want to pursue you." Elder Yang laughed awkwardly.

It was clear that the words were somewhat protective of Liu Zixuan while also trying not to offend Xiaoxiao, the little witch.

Xiaoxiao furrowed her brow: "But he wasn’t pursuing at all. Do you know he actually hugged me?"

"Hug!"

Elder Yang was taken aback immediately; Liu Zixuan’s actions indeed seemed to be a blatant attempt to take advantage!

He gave Liu Zixuan a look saying ’you’re on your own,’ then cleared his throat and said, "Well, how do you think he should be punished?"

"What’s the harshest punishment in the Punishment Hall?" Xiaoxiao asked.

Elder Yang’s mouth twitched a few times: "It shouldn’t be that heavy, right?"

"Elder Yang, you must know, if it wasn’t for him being a newcomer, for taking advantage of me, I’d directly have him expelled from the Profound Sword Sect! So, what’s wrong with punishing him?" Xiaoxiao said, putting on the airs of a lady of status.

Her actions made Liu Zixuan more curious. Able to make Gu Huaqiu bow and scrape, daring enough to speak to the elders like this, could she be the daughter of Sword Venerable Ling Xiao?

But even so, it wouldn’t be fair to expel someone for a hug, or to give the harshest punishment, right?

Even a distinguished lady shouldn’t be so untouchable that a single hug could lead to this!

Elder Yang sighed upon hearing this: "The most severe punishment is Hundred Swords Piercing Body."

"Then give him Hundred Swords Piercing Body!" Xiaoxiao said without hesitation.

Upon hearing this punishment, Gu Huaqiu’s face instantly lit up with pride, the frustration from being slapped by Liu Zixuan earlier vanished completely.

Hundred Swords Piercing Body is as literal as it sounds; using a hundred swords to pierce Liu Zixuan’s body might not hit any vital spots, but having a hundred swords stabbing into the body would cause immense pain!

Moreover, those hundred swords are all top-tier swords of the Profound Sword Sect, containing Sword Intent beyond ordinary swords. When piercing Liu Zixuan’s body, even if he’s a Half-Step Emperor Realm, he will suffer severe internal injuries, unable to get out of bed for three months.

Such punishment would make any disciple break out in a cold sweat and have their scalp tingle just hearing about it!

Elders Yang and Ming exchanged glances, filled only with helplessness.

They slowly looked at Liu Zixuan: "For now, you’ll face this punishment."

"What if I say no?" Liu Zixuan asked leisurely, hands in his pockets.

For him, the harm caused by White Sword Piercing Body wouldn’t affect him much, as with the powerful healing technique from the Holy Medical Scripture, he could recover within half a day.

But he absolutely couldn’t accept such severe punishment just for hugging Xiaoxiao!

Liu Zixuan always took advantage of others, but never let anyone take advantage of him.

"If you say no, then it will be your heart being pierced, not your body!"

At this moment, a woman’s voice sounded at the entrance of the Punishment Hall.

As the owner of the voice became clearer, those disciples, including Gu Huaqiu and Elder Yang and Ming, quickly bowed slightly, respectfully shouting, "Great Elder!"

Liu Zixuan looked towards the source of the voice, seeing a woman with a unique aura, appearing to be in her thirties. In terms of looks, she was slightly less attractive compared to Xiaoxiao next to her, but the mature charm she possessed made up for her lack of beauty.

He never imagined that the feared Great Elder would be a woman!

Of course, this wasn’t the only thing he didn’t expect!

While he marveled internally, Xiaoxiao suddenly ran over to the Great Elder, calling ’Mom!’ as if coquettishly.

Liu Zixuan was so shocked his jaw nearly dropped. Xiaoxiao appeared to be only a couple of years younger than him, yet the mother she was calling, the Great Elder, looked to be only in her thirties!

This... didn’t fit with logic at all!

"Mom, you must help me teach that Liu Zixuan a lesson!" Xiaoxiao said, clinging to the Great Elder’s arm and pouting.

The Great Elder looked at Xiaoxiao indulgently, then her expression became somewhat icy as she directly turned to Liu Zixuan: "Daring enough to take advantage of my daughter, you as a new disciple are quite bold!"

"Master, he not only took advantage of Junior Sister, but also bullied me several times. Of course, bullying me is one thing, but he even used language to insult you!" Gu Huaqiu also came over to add.

Slap!

Just as Gu Huaqiu finished speaking, the Great Elder raised her hand and slapped him right across the face.

Gu Huaqiu looked bewildered: "Master... why did you hit me?"

"Rebellious disciple!" The Great Elder coldly rebuked: "If you still don’t know why I hit you, then you’ll be the first to experience the punishment of White Sword Piercing Body!"

Seeing this scene, Xiaoxiao seemed puzzled and leaned over asking: "Mom, why did you hit Senior Brother Gu? It was Liu Zixuan who bullied me, not Senior Brother Gu?"

"Let him say himself why I hit him!"
