Chapter 11 Punishment and Emotion
Chapter 11 Punishment and Emotion
Qiu Ruoshui's face darkened. She said, "Ziyue's intention in leading everyone to play games was good, but the training ground is for training, not for playing. What she did disrupted the order of the training ground."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Ziyue knew she was about to receive a reprimand card. When she was in the 21st century class, she often heard the homeroom teacher reprimand the naughty students in the class. Qiu Ruoshui's manner was very similar to their homeroom teacher.
Qiu Ziyue quickly became obedient, silently lowered her head, and said softly, "Valley Master, I know I was wrong. I just wanted everyone to relax a bit and improve the training effect."
Qiu Ruoshui sighed and said, "Relaxation is fine, but there has to be a limit. What you're doing now is making everyone too relaxed, which is affecting normal training. As the sect leader, I must punish you as a warning."
Upon hearing Qiu Ruoshui's words, tears of grievance slowly welled up in Qiu Ziyue's eyes. She thought to herself that in modern society, she was an excellent student, often praised by her teachers and envied by her classmates, and had never been punished. She never expected to be punished here.
At this moment, Qiu Langyu, Qiu Wentian, and Qiu Wenfeng saw that Qiu Ruoshui was about to punish Qiu Ziyue, so they came over and immediately pleaded for Qiu Ziyue.
Qiu Langyu said respectfully, "Valley Master, Ziyue did indeed do something wrong, but her intentions were good. She wanted to help everyone relax and improve the training effect. Please forgive her for this being her first offense."
Qiu Wentian chimed in, "Yes, Valley Master, with Junior Sister Ziyue leading everyone in games, the disciples' enthusiasm for training has increased, and their mental state is also much better."
Qiu Wenfeng then said, "Valley Master, please forgive Junior Sister for the sake of everyone's happiness."
After hearing this, Qiu Ruoshui fell into deep thought.
He looked around and indeed, his disciples' faces showed more confidence and less laziness.
She realized that although Qiu Ziyue's approach was somewhat unconventional, it did bring about positive changes.
“Alright,” Qiu Ruoshui finally said, “Ziyue, although your actions this time were somewhat inappropriate, your intentions were good. In view of the pleas of your three senior brothers, I have decided not to punish you. But you must be careful in the future, relax in moderation, and not let it affect your normal training.”
After hearing this, Qiu Ziyue looked at her three senior brothers with gratitude, tears welling in her eyes, and nodded, saying, "Thank you, senior brothers, I understand. I will be more careful in the future."
Seeing Qiu Ziyue's sincere attitude, Qiu Ruoshui's anger subsided considerably.
She patted her on the shoulder and said gently, "Twilight Sparkle, you're a good girl. As long as you put your heart into it, you'll definitely achieve something."
Qiu Ziyue wiped away her tears and smiled. "Thank you, Valley Master. I will try my best."
The three senior brothers also smiled.
That night, the moonlight was like water, and Qiu Ruoshui sat alone in the room, her gaze deep.
She thought for a moment and then instructed the disciple beside her, "Go and call Qiu Ziyue here. I have something important to tell her."
The disciple obeyed and left. A short while later, Qiu Ziyue hurriedly arrived.
She entered the valley master's house and saw Qiu Ruoshui sitting there alone, which made her feel uneasy.
"Valley Master, is there something you need from me?" Qiu Ziyue asked softly, her tone tinged with nervousness.
Qiu Ruoshui gestured for her to sit down, her tone calm but serious: "Ziyue, sit down, I have something to talk to you about."
Qiu Ziyue sat down as instructed, her heart pounding with anxiety, wondering what Qiu Ruoshui was going to say.
Qiu Ruoshui looked at Qiu Ziyue and slowly said, "Ziyue, you know that our Valley of Passion appears harmonious on the surface, but there are actually undercurrents. Although your actions today were well-intentioned, they have also exposed some problems."
Qiu Ziyue lowered her head and said softly, "Valley Master, I know I made a mistake, I will be more careful."
Qiu Ruoshui continued, "It's not just you; there are actually many spies from other valleys lurking within the entire Valley of Passion. They are hiding here to obtain our confidential information. If we are not careful, we can easily be used."
Qiu Ziyue looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "An undercover agent? Valley Master, is this true?" Qiu Ruoshui nodded: "Yes, this has been our secret all along. To protect the safety of the Valley of Passion, we must remain highly vigilant. Every word and action of everyone could be exploited by those with ulterior motives."
Qiu Ruoshui paused for a moment, then continued, "I'm punishing you today not only because you disrupted the training ground, but more importantly, I hope that this incident will make everyone aware of the crisis. Only through strict management can we better protect the Valley of Passion."
Qiu Ziyue nodded, a resolute glint in her eyes: "Valley Master, I understand. I will be more careful with my words and actions, and wholeheartedly protect the Valley of Passion."
Qiu Ruoshui nodded and said, "Over the years, Chiqing Valley has not really gone into hiding and concealed its talents, but has truly been gradually declining. The four of us, including you, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, are getting old, but apart from the three senior brothers who are highly skilled, the rest of the disciples we have trained are all talents who are not worth much. Chiqing Valley has lost its backbone of talent, which is truly lamentable."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Ziyue said, "In fact, the three senior brothers are quite capable."
Qiu Ruoshui paced around the room a few times and said, "The eldest brother is down-to-earth but not good at strategy, the second brother lacks courage and decisiveness, and the third brother is a bit willful. They are really not good at being the pillars of the family."
Qiu Ziyue remained silent and listened quietly.
Qiu Ruoshui continued, "Ziyue, since you fell to the bottom of the cliff, your comprehension has suddenly improved, and you've become clever and quick-witted. Remember, every action we take is related to the safety of the Valley of Passion. Only by acting cautiously can the Valley of Passion have a stable future."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Ziyue felt a chill run down her spine, secretly glad that she hadn't been in a hurry to show off her profound musical skills and martial arts during this period.
She knew that in this complex and ever-changing world, hiding one's talents was the best way to protect oneself.
She silently thought to herself, "Luckily, I concealed my skills in playing the zither and martial arts, otherwise it would have brought disaster upon myself."
Qiu Ziyue raised her head, looking at Qiu Ruoshui with a firm gaze: "Valley Master, I understand what you mean. I will be more careful and will not easily reveal my strength. I will do my best to protect myself, and at the same time, I will swear to protect the reputation and safety of the Valley of Passion."
Qiu Ruoshui nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, Ziyue. You have matured a lot, which is a good thing. But remember, don't be overconfident. The world is dangerous, so don't let your guard down."
Qiu Ziyue nodded solemnly: "Valley Master, I understand. I will be more careful and live up to your expectations."
Qiu Ruoshui smiled and continued, "Ziyue, tonight I'm going to tell you some things you may not know yet. These things are related to the past and future of our Valley of Passion."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Ziyue felt a pang of anxiety, sat down, and listened attentively.
Qiu Ruoshui slowly spoke: "You know, our Passion Valley is not an ordinary sect. Its establishment has a little-known history."
