“This is him taking the lead to stir up trouble.”
“Let’s go, everyone, follow me over there. I want to see exactly what tricks Nanque Courtyard is playing.”
As Song Xi spoke, he stood up, and then all the others followed him, rising into the air. The strongest young disciples of Beixuan Courtyard left the courtyard in a grand and mighty group.
The place they were heading to was called the Frost Spirit Waterfall.
On the way, Chu Feng learned that cultivating by washing in the Frost Spirit Waterfall could improve one’s comprehension power.
Although it had little effect on people with high talent, it was still very helpful for some disciples from Beixuan Courtyard and Nanque Courtyard.
The Frost Spirit Waterfall opens for fifteen days every month.
Since disciples from Donglong Courtyard and Xihu Courtyard rarely come here to cultivate, only disciples from Nanque Courtyard and Beixuan Courtyard use it.
During those fifteen days, disciples from Nanque Courtyard and Beixuan Courtyard take turns to cultivate.
Today was originally the day for Beixuan Courtyard disciples to cultivate, but Nanque Courtyard had driven them out. That was where the conflict came from.
As for the two people the earlier disciple mentioned, Fang Yunshi and Bi Jingjing from Nanque Courtyard, they were both quite outstanding disciples there.
Fang Yunshi’s cultivation was the same as Song Xi’s, also at fourth-grade Sovereign level.
Although Bi Jingjing’s cultivation was not as high as Fang Yunshi’s, she was born in the Wolong Martial Sect, and her family members were all part of the sect.
Rumours said her talent was extremely good.
If her family were not in Nanque Courtyard, with her talent she would definitely be a disciple of Donglong Courtyard.
“Senior Brother Song Xi, for something like this, don’t the elders intervene?”
Chu Feng asked.
Chu Feng felt that no matter where it was, there should be rules, especially in a sect like this.
If whoever had more strength got to decide everything, it would surely destroy the balance of cultivation.
So in Chu Feng’s view, matters like this should be handled by the elders, not left for disciples to solve.
“Junior Brother Chu, you have only just arrived at Wolong Martial Sect, so you do not yet understand how things work here.”
“This matter could indeed be solved by asking the elders to step in.”
“But if the elders handle it, then from now on the disciples of Beixuan Courtyard will find it very hard to hold their heads up.”
“Not to mention the other three courtyards looking down on us, even the elders of Beixuan Courtyard might look down on us too.”
“So, if we can solve it ourselves, we do it ourselves. Only when we cannot solve it do we report to the elders.”
“Today is the last day of cultivation for this month.”
“Last month on this day, it was Nanque Courtyard’s turn. According to the rules set before, this month it should be our Beixuan Courtyard disciples.”
“They came to cause trouble at this time simply because they want to seize this one day of cultivation time.”
“If we go and disturb the elders even over such a small matter, we will be looked down upon even more.” Wang Ziying explained to Chu Feng.
“I understand.”
Chu Feng roughly got it.
In simple terms, fights between disciples were tacitly allowed by Wolong Martial Sect.
But Beixuan Courtyard disciples were already weak. If things continued like this, they would surely lose many cultivation spots to the other three courtyards.
The so-called cultivation balance had probably been broken long ago.
No wonder Beixuan Courtyard kept getting weaker.
After a rush of travel, Chu Feng and the others finally arrived in front of the Frost Spirit Waterfall.
Above the clouds, there was a bronze cauldron stretching ten thousand metres long.
The cauldron stood high in the sky, and endless streams of water flowed out from it, forming a waterfall that fell from the heavens.
The water not only carried cold air, but also contained special spiritual power.
That power really could help martial cultivators.
However, for someone like Chu Feng, it was indeed of no help.
Right now, the area below the waterfall was already packed with people.
But they were not disciples of Beixuan Courtyard. They were disciples of Nanque Courtyard.
The disciples of Beixuan Courtyard were also there, but they could only stand to one side and watch. Some of them were injured.
The most seriously hurt ones were not only bruised and swollen, but had already fainted.
Chu Feng’s gaze, however, mostly gathered on the side of Nanque Courtyard’s disciples.
Nanque Courtyard had brought many disciples, but most of them were not inside the waterfall cultivating. They looked aggressive, as if they had already prepared to face Beixuan Courtyard’s disciples.
There were also disciples from Donglong Courtyard and Xihu Courtyard.
Of course, the numbers from Donglong and Xihu were small, and their cultivation levels were generally not strong. They might have come here to cultivate.
Or perhaps they heard the news and came to watch the show.
“Oh, isn’t this Song Xi from Beixuan Courtyard?”
“What, you also want to come cultivate at the Frost Spirit Waterfall?”
“But it makes sense. After all, your talent is average. It’s understandable that you would come to a place like this to cultivate.”
Before Song Xi and the others had even landed, a sarcastic voice rang out from the Nanque Courtyard crowd.
It was a rather handsome-looking man, but his attitude was very nasty and arrogant.
Especially his eyes. It was clear he did not take the disciples of Beixuan Courtyard seriously at all.
“Fang Yunshi, don’t you know that today is the day for my Beixuan Courtyard disciples to cultivate?”
Song Xi landed directly in front of the Nanque Courtyard disciples and asked the man who had just spoken mockingly.
“Of course I know.”
Fang Yunshi said.
“Since you know, why did you bring your Nanque Courtyard disciples here to cultivate?”
“And why did you injure my Beixuan Courtyard disciples?”
Song Xi asked.
“The ones who injured your Beixuan Courtyard disciples were not me.”
“But it was indeed our Nanque Courtyard disciples who did it. Your Beixuan Courtyard disciples were simply inferior in skill. You cannot blame me for that, right?”
“As for why my Nanque Courtyard disciples are cultivating today.”
“It’s very simple. Because my junior brothers and sisters from Nanque Courtyard wanted to cultivate today, so I brought them here.”
Fang Yunshi said.
“So you are deliberately breaking the rules?”
Song Xi asked.
“Breaking them, so what.”
Fang Yunshi looked disdainful.
“Fang Yunshi, you really do not put my Beixuan Courtyard in your eyes at all.”
“Everyone, drive all the disciples of Nanque Courtyard out of the Frost Spirit Waterfall for me.”
Song Xi said loudly.
“Nanque Courtyard disciples, listen up. If anyone dares to drive you out, beat them until even their own mother would not recognise them.”
Fang Yunshi was not willing to show weakness and shouted back.
Just as the disciples of Nanque Courtyard and Beixuan Courtyard were facing off, swords drawn and bows bent, ready to fight.
A voice suddenly rang out.
“Stop. This is a place for cultivation, not for fighting.”
The one who spoke was a female disciple.
She was young and quite attractive, with clear arrogance between her brows.
No one needed to say it. Chu Feng already knew she was probably that disciple from Nanque Courtyard who had grown up in Wolong Martial Sect since childhood, Bi Jingjing.
“Junior Sister Bi, you understand the rules of Wolong Martial Sect the best.”
“Why did you not stop this matter?”
Song Xi stepped forward and asked.
Compared to how he treated Fang Yunshi, everyone could see how polite Song Xi was when dealing with Bi Jingjing.
“Song Xi, the Frost Spirit Waterfall opens for fifteen days every month.”
“According to the rules, Donglong Courtyard disciples can cultivate for six days, while Xihu Courtyard, Nanque Courtyard, and Beixuan Courtyard disciples each get three days.”
“Because nowadays, very few disciples from Donglong Courtyard and Xihu Courtyard come here to cultivate.”
“It has become a shared fifteen days between your Beixuan Courtyard and my Nanque Courtyard.”
“But the rules still exist. If we truly follow the rules as set.”
“Then your Beixuan Courtyard can only cultivate for three days each month.”
“I can tell you this.”
“These rules were set by the Sect Master himself.”
“Do you dare to have any objections?”
Bi Jingjing asked Song Xi.
“Junior Sister Bi, what are you trying to say?”
Song Xi asked.
“What I want to say is that even according to the rules set by the Sect Master, Donglong Courtyard enjoys six days of cultivation time.”
“Do you know why? Because Donglong Courtyard is the strongest.”
“So in the end, the allocation of cultivation time at the Frost Spirit Waterfall should go to the capable.”
“Your Beixuan Courtyard is clearly weaker than my Nanque Courtyard. On what grounds do you get to share cultivation time equally with Nanque Courtyard disciples?”
Bi Jingjing asked.
“But the arrangement where Nanque Courtyard and Beixuan Courtyard take turns to cultivate at the Frost Spirit Waterfall was agreed upon by the senior brothers.”
Song Xi said.
“You also said it was an agreement made by the senior brothers.”
“Since it was an agreement, it can naturally be changed. And today, I am here to change that agreement.”
Bi Jingjing said.
“Then how do you want to change it?”
Song Xi asked.
“Very simple. In the fifteen days the waterfall is open each month, the first five days will be for your Beixuan Courtyard disciples to cultivate, and the remaining ten days will be for my Nanque Courtyard disciples.”
Bi Jingjing said.
