When the Qingcheng Sect disciples saw their leader Yu Canghai being knocked flying and falling, they were immediately in an uproar, with exclamations one after another.

"Kill him! Avenge our Master!"

Several young disciples who were reckless and courageous by nature, were so angry that their eyes instantly turned red. They drew their swords with a few clangs and rushed towards Yi Huawei with a roar. Their steps were chaotic, but they were full of reckless brute force, and they only wanted to vent their anger on the headmaster.

Yi Huawei heard the noise and slowly turned around. His eyes instantly turned cold as ice, and he swept straight at the disciples who were rushing over. This look seemed to have a real deterrent power. Several young disciples had just rushed halfway when they suddenly ran into this look. They immediately felt a chill rising from the soles of their feet. It was as if all the strength in their bodies was instantly drained away. Their feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move anymore. They could only hold their swords and tremble in place.

"Humph!"

Yi Huawei calmly sheathed his sword with a light "click" sound, walked to the fallen Yu Canghai, and said loudly:

"Master Yu, considering that Qingcheng and Huashan are both orthodox martial arts sects, today's matter should end here. As the master of a sect, you should weigh the pros and cons and not cause any more trouble. Otherwise,... don't blame me for not warning you."

Yi Huawei's voice was not loud, but every word was clear and echoed in the courtyard.

"you you………"

When Yu Canghai heard this, he was so angry that he trembled all over. His already seriously injured body could no longer bear it. With a "puff", a mouthful of blood spurted out, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

"Master!"

"Master?!"

At this point, the Qingcheng Sect disciples were completely panicked. They were thinking about attacking him just now, but now they didn't care about that anymore. They swarmed to Yu Canghai. Some were frantically trying to take his pulse, while others were shouting for a doctor. The whole courtyard was in chaos.

The Qingcheng Sect disciples gathered around Yu Canghai in a mess. Seeing this, Yi Huawei winked at Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan who were standing at the door of the woodshed, and the three of them began to move out of the woodshed tacitly.

Although Linghu Chong was covered in wounds, his eyes were filled with excitement. He limped over to Yi Huawei and said in a low voice, "Brother, you have really made a hole in the Qingcheng Sect's sky, but it really makes me feel relieved! I have never seen Yu Canghai so embarrassed."

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise, completely ignoring the pain caused by the tearing of the wound.

Yue Lingshan looked at Yi Huawei with admiration, her eyes sparkling, and whispered: "Brother, you are so amazing. I will make you teach me all these moves when we return to Huashan."

"no problem!"

Yi Huawei smiled and looked back: "Don't be happy yet, let's go while they are panicking, otherwise, I'm afraid I can't help but kill them, and Master will definitely be mad!"

"…Then let's go!"

Now that things have come to this, there is no point in asking whether to apologize or not. The Qingcheng Sect has been deeply offended anyway!

The three quickened their pace, passed through the corridor, and sneaked towards the mountain gate. There were still many Qingcheng Sect disciples along the way, but most of them were disturbed by the sudden news that the leader was seriously injured, and did not pay much attention to the movements of the three.

As the mountain gate was in sight, suddenly, a few sharp-eyed Qingcheng Sect disciples came to their senses, pointed at them and shouted:

"They were the ones who injured the leader!"

"Stop! They're trying to run!"

"Stop them!!"

This shout instantly broke the brief peace. The surrounding disciples drew their swords and surrounded him again.

Yi Huawei sighed inwardly, but he was not afraid at all. He took a step forward, protecting Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan behind him, and said loudly:

"Everyone, we have no intention of starting another dispute. What happened today was not my fault. If you insist on stopping me, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The disciples looked at each other in bewilderment. Having just witnessed how powerful Yi Huawei was, no one dared to take action first.

At this stalemate, there was a commotion in the distance. It turned out that several elders from the Qingcheng Sect had rushed over. One elder shouted loudly, "Let them go!"

Although the disciples were unwilling, they had no choice but to make way. Yi Huawei saluted the elders with his fists, and then walked out of the mountain gate quickly with Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan.

They went to the inn to get horses and galloped all the way, getting farther and farther away from the Qingcheng Sect. They slowed down their pace only after they were sure that there were no pursuers.

A few days later, the news of Yi Huawei's victory over Yu Canghai spread like a gust of wind throughout the martial arts world. People from all walks of life gathered in teahouses and taverns, talking about this fight.

"Have you heard? Huashan sent a young master who beat the leader of Qingcheng Sect, Yu Canghai, so badly that he had no chance to fight back and finally fainted." A martial artist said excitedly.

"Is this true? How could this Huashan disciple be so powerful?" others asked curiously.

"Hey, who knows? But I heard that the Huashan disciple has a handsome face and is very good-looking. He is very sharp when using a sword. Now he has been nicknamed the 'Jade-faced Swordsman'."

"What's the name of this Huashan disciple?"

"........."

"I don't know, I only know that he is the second disciple of Gentleman Sword Yue Buqun."

When some small sects heard about this, they all started to think about it. Some sect leaders personally brought generous gifts to Huashan, hoping to get to know Yi Huawei and test the Huashan sect's attitude to see if they could establish some friendship; others planned to send their young and promising children to Huashan to learn swordsmanship from Yue Buqun, hoping that their family would also have a master in the future.

………………

Huashan.

In the dim morning light, the flying eaves and pointed corners of the Taoist temple reveal a sense of simplicity and solemnity in the light mist. In the martial arts field, a group of disciples are doing morning exercises, with swords flashing and sabers flying, and the wind is fierce.

In Quanzhen Temple.

Yue Buqun was wearing a green robe, standing in the hall with his hands behind his back, his face stern and his eyes deep. He looked at Yi Huawei in front of him and said with regret:
"Wei'er, you usually act prudently, why are you so reckless this time? Have you forgotten all my master's teachings? As the saying goes, it is better to resolve a feud than to create one. My master sent you to quell the dispute and turn swords into plowshares, but you... You actually injured Sect Leader Yu. Now, we have a deep hatred with the Qingcheng Sect." Yi Huawei lowered his head slightly when he heard his master's reprimand, but his expression did not show much regret.

Yue Lingshan couldn't help but jump out to speak for Yi Huawei: "Dad, you don't know that it was Yu Canghai's disciples who went too far! Several of them teamed up to beat up the eldest brother, and they were still swearing at him. The second brother couldn't stand it, so he taught them a lesson. Yu Canghai, as an elder, not only didn't uphold justice, but also ignored his status and fought with the second brother, but in the end he couldn't beat the second brother."

At this point, Yue Lingshan raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a bit of pride: "Dad, didn't you see that after Yu Canghai lost, he was so angry that his face turned purple, and he vomited blood all at once, that scene was really satisfying."

"How dare you say anything?!"

Yue Buqun suddenly turned his head and glared at his daughter fiercely, which frightened Yue Lingshan so much that she shrank her neck, stuck out her tongue, and hid behind her mother.

Yue Buqun turned around and stared at Yi Huawei again: "It's all because I dote on you too much. I was hoping you could persuade your senior brother, but I didn't expect you to be more naughty than him. I will punish you to face the wall at the cliff. Without my order, you are not allowed to take a single step out!"

"Master, this is really not my fault."

Yi Huawei raised his head, his eyes calm, and clasped his fists, saying, "It's fine that the Qingcheng Sect bullies people by relying on their numbers, but Yu Canghai's son actually insulted you openly and called you a hypocrite. If I swallow this, I will be letting down my master's years of careful teaching."

Yue Buqun's expression eased a little after hearing this. He looked Yi Huawei up and down, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. You know, Yu Canghai is also a well-known figure in the martial arts world, and this kid could actually defeat him, which was beyond his expectation.

Ning Zhongze took a few steps forward, patted Yue Buqun's arm, and said in a light voice: "Brother, things have come to this point. It is useless to blame Wei'er. In the final analysis, it was Yu Canghai who went too far and provoked him for no reason."

After that, he quickly walked a few steps to Linghu Chong, stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Linghu Chong's shoulder, his eyes full of concern: "Chong'er, are you injured? Let Master's wife take a look."

Linghu Chong still had a few bruises on his face, but he still forced a smile and said, "Master's Wife, it's okay, they are just superficial injuries, I can still handle it. Thanks to Second Junior Brother for helping me in time, otherwise I would have suffered a great loss today."

Yue Buqun snorted and paced in the hall with a frown on his face. This time, the feud with Qingcheng Sect was no small matter. Huashan Sect had been in a delicate situation in the martial arts world in recent years. It was better to have less trouble than more. In the current situation, the subsequent troubles would probably continue.

"Dad, Yu Canghai is so arrogant, are we at Huashan afraid of him? At worst, we can just fight him."

Yue Lingshan poked her head out from behind her mother, her face flushed red, and she shouted loudly in dissatisfaction.

"Shan'er, don't talk nonsense!"

Yue Buqun shouted, "How can we act rashly just because of our own will when fighting in the martial arts world? The Qingcheng Sect has been rooted in Sichuan and Shu for many years, and their connections are complicated and their power is intertwined. We should never underestimate them. Although we have the upper hand temporarily, they will definitely try their best to get back at us, and they will never give up." At this point, Yue Buqun paused, turned his gaze to Yi Huawei, and said in a colder tone, "Wei'er, do you know which of the Seven Commandments of Mount Huashan you have violated?"

Yi Huawei sighed. Yue Buqun was usually very kind and loving to his disciples, but if anyone broke the sect rules, he would severely punish them. He immediately knelt down in front of the incense table:
"I know my crime. I didn't listen to the teachings of Master and Master's Wife, and violated the sixth commandment of arrogance, which offended my fellow Taoists. Master, I am willing to accept the punishment and go to the cliff of reflection. But if Yu Canghai causes trouble again, Huashan will never show weakness. Although I acted a little rashly, I am not afraid to fight him again."

Yue Buqun nodded slightly, his expression softened a little: "It's rare that you have this intention. But in the future, you must not be so impulsive. This time I punish you to face the wall for a month, you must think carefully about the whole thing from beginning to end and reflect on it. When you go there, don't neglect your martial arts, you need to practice diligently."

Yi Huawei bowed and said in a calm tone, "Yes, I respectfully accept the punishment."

Upon hearing this, Yue Lingshan's eyes widened and she asked hurriedly, "Facing the wall for a month? Then how many hours do you face the wall every day during this month?"

Yue Buqun frowned, looking unhappy: "What do you mean by several hours? From morning till night, except for eating and sleeping, you have to face the wall and reflect on your mistakes the rest of the time."

Yue Lingshan stamped her feet anxiously and shouted, "How can that be possible? Wouldn't that suffocate people to death? Can't even urinate or defecate be allowed?"

Ning Zhongze raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Girl, how can you speak so rudely!"

Yue Buqun said in a deep voice: "Facing the wall for a month, what is that? When your master committed a crime, he faced the wall on the Jade Maiden Peak for three years and six months, and never came down from the peak."

Yue Lingshan stuck out her tongue and muttered quietly: "From this perspective, facing the wall for a month is still a light punishment. In fact, Second Senior Brother was just kind-hearted and didn't hit anyone on purpose!"

Yue Buqun's face darkened: "It is precisely because he was kind-hearted that I punished him to face the wall for a month. If he had evil intentions, I would have broken his legs!"

Ning Zhongze pulled Yue Lingshan and gently advised, "Shan'er, stop nagging Daddy. Your second senior brother is sitting on the wall at Yunv Peak to reflect on his mistakes. You must not go and talk to him, or Daddy's efforts will all be ruined by you."

Yue Lingshan tilted her head and thought for a while, then asked, "What does Second Senior Brother eat? He hasn't been off the mountain for a whole month, is he going to starve to death?"

Ning Zhongze patiently explained: "Don't worry, I will arrange for my junior brother to deliver the food on time every day."

When Yi Huawei left and packed his bags, Yue Lingshan was still muttering.

Ning Zhongze patted her shoulder and said, "Don't be unhappy. These few days, you should practice sword skills with Senior Brother and focus on your work."

Yue Lingshan nodded reluctantly.

Yue Buqun called Lao Denuo and whispered, "Have a few people secretly monitor the Qingcheng Sect's movements in the next few days. The Qingcheng Sect will surely make a lot of small moves. If there is any movement, report back immediately."

Laudno took the order and left.

…………

In the evening, Yi Huawei bid farewell to his master, his mistress, and his fellow apprentices, then took a long sword and went to a dangerous cliff at the top of the Jade Maiden Peak.

The dangerous cliffs towered into the clouds, and looked even more precipitous under the afterglow. Yi Huawei climbed along the winding mountain road, and the mountain wind whistled along the way, making his clothes rustle. Soon, he reached the top of the dangerous cliff.

The cliff was bare, without any grass or trees. There was only a lonely cave standing there, and nothing else.

Huashan is a place with lush vegetation and extremely quiet scenery, with graceful beauty everywhere. However, this dangerous cliff is an exception. It has been said that it was transformed from a pearl on a jade girl's hairpin, so it is out of tune with the surrounding beauty.

The founder of Huashan Sect chose this place as the place to punish his disciples because there was no grass or trees, no insects or birds here. When the punished disciples were facing the wall to reflect on their mistakes, they would not be disturbed by external things and could concentrate on reflecting on their mistakes.

Yi Huawei walked into the cave, which was dimly lit and filled with an old atmosphere. He squinted his eyes slightly, and after adjusting to the light, he slowly looked around. The three big characters "Feng Qingyang" engraved on the left stone wall came into view. The handwriting was vigorous and powerful, and it was three-quarters into the stone, as if it carried the writer's sword intention and unwillingness. Looking at these three words, Yi Huawei's eyes flickered, and his mind instantly recalled the details about Feng Qingyang.
