4. Help The Plot

The punishments at the Summit of Fire became the most comical, but also the cruelest. Funny, because when you are a reader, you don't feel what the character feels, cruel because the reader laughs saying: 'If I were him, I would endure'.

Huang Jue remembers when her cute sister discussed the sect punishments of the protagonist and the villain; she was hesitant about that, until she made up her mind. In ancient Chinese novels there were many punishments to death, in cultivation novels they were harsher, Huang Jue hates pain and is sensitive, she could never see how others beat another person.

The punishment for those three children was not so bad, she Huang Jue she swore that she couldn't bear to see them beaten or something like that. She sat by the patio table, tea was served, and Fei Yanlin drank it across the table while she watched. The children place a piece of wood with two buckets of boiling water at each end of the wood, the disciples stand on another wide piece of wood on top of a stone ball. Keep your balance don't fall or the water will burn you, holding buckets of boiling water was a 'light' punishment, disciples should only remove the top part of their clothes, exposing the skin to the danger of being burned, the water is with talismans of heat that will keep them boiling, the steam can make your victim dizzy and lose his balance; it will fall and the water will burn it.

Yin Leilei seems calm with the smile from ear to ear, but the sweat that falls down his forehead is like a waterfall, he staggers back and forth, the water from the buckets splashes on the ground and can almost melt it. So, now if smile trembles.

That punishment was no longer a joke. The character Himedere¹ from the novel was finished.

Gao Cheng had a facial paralysis, as if he did it on purpose he swayed from right to left, the water from the buckets did not splash, it only gave the illusion that he would fall but that was it, an illusion. This villain was a genius, sometimes he pretended to be clumsy, grumpy, but there is no doubt that he was a Yangire² when he became the villain boss.

Liu Zhuang is dizzy with cloudy eyes, long butterfly-like eyelashes fluttering, although his elemental roots were metal, he was not having a good time, he was still and breathing heavily. The scene of a pretty boy pointed to pass out from the heat, he is really beautiful.

Huang Jue has an ugly face, seeing the protagonist now makes him feel bad. The protagonist boasts!, looking good even in the worst situations, these novels were always like that. This is the scene in the plot where the beauty of the novel spies on the protagonist. Looking from side to side, Huang Jue finds her, between bushes and trees, a maiden watches them. The summit of Fire has limits, each well guarded and protected with the powerful celestial barrier of the master of the Summit, in the novel the female protagonist arrived at the Summit of Fire because the barrier was broken, it is not explained why; Since the barrier was strong against intruders, Fei Yanlin hates everyone after all.

He creates your barrier and do not let anyone enter your house. But Huang Jue managed to get in because Fei Yanlin took her away, that leaves her with a doubt. The barriers had patterns, one could customize who to let in and who not. If the barrier was broken and the protagonist managed to enter, probably the great Fei Yanlin also had an interest in the beautiful maiden, after all Huang Jue was allowed to enter, Fei Yanlin should raise the barrier again. He didn't, so Fei Yanlin also took an interest in the young female lead.

Gross! In these kinds of novels, the cultivators always set their sights on the tender bud that has not yet blossomed. Huang Jue just drinks the spirit tea with a grimace as he turns his gaze away from those three children, lands his eyes on the protagonist, returns to the bushes, and then on the protagonist's teacher.

'System!'

On the other hand, Fei Yanlin just watched the conflict of the other person across the table, the man over there looks thoughtful as he sets the tea on the table, Huang Jue's eyelashes flutter as he lets out a sigh. Following the other person's gaze, noticing something and can't help but talk about it.

"Elder brother looks uncomfortable, has he taken the medicine? Even though the poison is gone, there may be residue." Said the concerned Fei Yanlin. "If brother wants, I can talk to brother Gu to get medicine."

"No, I don't bother little brother." Huang Jue was quick to reply, the original is hated, getting medicine here is very difficult. According to what he heard thanks to the rumors, it is that the poison probably did not get into his cup by accident, it is estimated that it was an attempt to get it out of the way, to sabotage it.

He feels empathy for the matter, very little but it is there.

"There is no hassle. Helping older brother is definitely a joy." Fei Yanlin's words were soft, full of deep feelings, forgetting his disciples and imagining that he is now only with his superior.

"So, can you lift the punishment?" Huang Jue took advantage of the fact that the other party was happy to help, please this bitter person and ask him for a favor. "It can?"

And so it was done, a movement of Fei Yanlin's hand was enough for the talismans to break, the water cools, the children surprised by their teacher's actions since he never changes his mind. It doesn't take long for one of them to fall off the board.

Liu Zhuang falls to the ground, the water spills on his head and body, he is foolish and has failed. His older brothers don't flinch, gracefully dropping down, the level of the older brothers is much higher, it won't be a year before they will pass the level of forming their own core, but Liu Zhuang is stuck in Qi condensation and seems It doesn't go forward but it goes backwards.

Huang Jue stands up, gives Fei Yanlin a salute before leaving, he can't stay now he assures that he will be back soon. Knowing this, Fei Yanlin must change the pattern so that he does not have to remove the barrier every time Huang Jue visits him again.

However…

"Big Brother Huang, that way isn't the way back…"

Huang Jue: "Oh. He "he turns around and walks the other way, calmly returning to where he started.

Only when he is really far from the sight of others, he leans against a tree and with his hands covering her face, it is embarrassing to fuck her, the memories of this body are not reliable and even more so when it never entered the summits for Will. Putting his embarrassment to rest, he checks the storage ring.

Not recently he found out that there were a lot of things in that ring, man, from high quality medicine, really expensive pills, in that ring there was a fortune of spiritual stones, buy a house and leave the mountain, you will not find problems in freedom . Cultivators don't eat, but there are also special fruits and snacks for an immortal, Huang Jue came across rare fruits that help and cleanse a cultivator's body. The life of a millionaire was difficult, because he did not know where to start spending.

The bushes move, Huang Jue knows very well who it is.

"You better get out of there." Huang Jue orders.

Among the leaves, a beautiful girl is present, her face is full of life and her black eyes are bright, her hair is in a ponytail with a feather hairpin. The protagonist is beautiful, Peacock Summit doesn't take just any disciples, wind scholars were at the main summit, the forts and lightning met at Fire Summit; the experts in poisons of the earth, are in the Summit of the Peacock.³

Someone comments that it was a summit only for women, the truth is that it was not, the Peacock Summit was special, few have the talent to create poison, refine weapons and medicines. But the Golden Cloud sect had the best of the best, so Peacock Peak was filled with women who were beautiful and capable of using the art of poison to fight, men who specialized in refining magic weapons and medicine.

The girl who was there was one of those well-hidden treasures, the fans placed her in the category of Kuuder⁴⁵, but she was a passionate person and the second wife of the protagonist. According to the story of this girl, she went through horrible things, she soon passed into the care of her uncle at Peacock Summit, this girl's name was…

"Gu MingXia, right?" Huang Jue was delighted, in his previous life he liked characters like this, the pretty girl nodded in a 'uhm', few curt words. Beautifull!

Huang Jue believes that this protagonist was his type, with few words but actions as clear as water, but for him there is nothing in this novel, but she can intervene so that he has a happy life. In the original plot, this girl was attracted by something and by accident she passed through the Summit of Fire, she followed the path until she found the protagonist who must have been very exhausted and injured. The beautiful Gu MingXia meets the protagonist in a pitiful state in the ugly room, the beautiful maiden gives Liu Zhuang medicine and helps him with the wild emergy whirlpool, the protagonist faints but his heart has been captivated by the beautiful maiden.

"Well. If you follow this path you will find someone's ugly residence, there is a disciple who is injured, it is regrettable." Huang Jue holds out an apple-sized bottle of medicine. "Please give him this and have him take the pills to help him, his name is Zhuang and his last name is Liu."

Gu MingXia nodded 'uhm' and took the bottle that the man gave her, originally she came because her brother told her to look for the immortal Huang, she soon found herself following the immortal to that place, because she couldn't scream and call him. But in the end the immortal Huang found her, however the immortal Huang talks a lot and doesn't stop, now he has a mission, he accepts this one just to talk to a man.

She opens her mouth to start speaking, but is interrupted.

"This master uncle thanks the apprentice niece." Huang Jue waves goodbye, following the trail back to get away from the next thing.

Gu MingXia wants to call him but she doesn't know how.

×××

It is Liu Zhuang who is leaning on the wall, the master has let him go, but the heat of the water was too hot and it doesn't help that he is worn out from the practices. As if there was a conflict inside him between the energy of his body and something he doesn't understand, he walks to the edge of the bed, collapsing on it, the robe just thrown over his shoulders carelessly, he's still wet and the hair is attached to the skin thanks to water and sweat.

A sound comes from the door as he nearly collapses from sleep, someone is at the foot of the door when he glances over, he didn't close the door when he entered the room. Standing there is a girl, Liu Zhuang does not know her, the girl seems to have no expression on her face.

"Who are you?" Liu Zhuang's voice is rough, the girl doesn't answer her, she just holds out a bottle the size of an apple, she deduces that there is something there. "What is it?"

The girl doesn't respond, the person in the room looks bad but it's normal, cultivation isn't easy if you can't then don't waste others' time. The medicine bottle is of high quality. His uncle teaches him very well. Gu MingXia doesn't understand why the immortal would give this to someone as weak as the person in front of him. Wasn't it easier to get him out of the sect? Right to question the immortal, there were more stupid people.

"Immortal Huang said for him to give you this." That boy looks shy and is motionless as if he doesn't understand, but in the end the boy holds the bottle. "Immortal Huang said to take one of the pills."

"Uncle Huang?" Liu Zhuang asks a little, he can't believe that master uncle will send medicine, a little melancholy at that, wasn't it easier to come personally?

"I am also surprised. He's probably shy." Gu MingXia answers the foolish boy's thoughts.

"Oh. Good thank you…"

But the girl was gone and she didn't hear her thanks. Liu Zhuang almost forgot the discomfort, strange as it seemed he felt something in his heart, he was a little happy. He doesn't find people who care about him.

Huang Jue: "What?!" she screamed.

Passers-by look at him as if he has grown another head, Huang Jue felt that his gaze would kill him, so he can only walk faster to return to 'his' residence. He good came running to the top of the original owner, the servants saw him return.

Huang Jue has returned to his room with long strides this time there is a trace of blush on his cheeks, his face is completely red, looking agitated the door of the room is slammed shut. The servants are now more frightened by the behavior of the Guardian of the Mountain.

"Hey, explain to me!"

Huang Jue: "…"

"Teacher?..."

Then a 'catapumba!' was heard in the room, with that the servant could not help but open the door, finding the Guardian of the Mountain on the floor, perhaps unconscious, perhaps asleep; probably dead!

The servant screams for help and runs everywhere for help, but he does not approach the immortal to help him, soon the whole Orchid Summit⁶ is filled with panic, shouts from here to there.
