Chapter 2175
Qin Shuang sighed and turned to leave.
In the main hall, Lin Mengxi was enjoying her tea. Seeing Qin Shuang return early, she frowned slightly. "Shuang er, it seems that you shouldn't have returned early, right?"
Lin Mengxi asked Qin Shuang to help Samuel open up the foundation. She shouldn’t have come back so early.
"Samuel went to Ciyun Cave," replied Qin Shuang indifferently.
Upon hearing the name of Ciyun Cave, the teacup in Lin Mengxi's hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
"What? He went to Ciyun Cave?" Lin Mengxi’s face was a little pale.
"Zhexuzi said that Samuel went to the vegetable garden to work in the morning, but privately violated the ban. He wanted to find a place to slack off and finally accidentally entered the cave," Qin Shuang said coldly.
Qin Shuang obviously did not believe what Zhexuzi had said. There was a distance between Ciyun Cave and the vegetable garden, so how could Samuel accidentally enter it?
Lin Mengxi nodded heavily and looked out of the hall. She murmured and shook her head, "He will die if he enters the Ciyun Cave. You will punish Zhexuzi."
"Isn't it too minor to punish an entry-level disciple for a slave?" Qin Shuang said with slight dissatisfaction.
She didn't believe what Zhexuzi said, but she didn't pursue it. After all, he was an apprentice of the Fourth Peak, and Samuel was just a slave.
"Ruoyu!" Lin Mengxi shouted.
After a while, Ruoyu walked in quickly and said respectfully, "Master."
"Tie Zhexuzi up in the hall!"
Ruoyu glanced at Qin Shuang and nodded. " I'll do it now."
Zhexuzi was playing chess with the black man in the thatched cottage. At this time, Samuel must have been killed, leaving only a skeleton, while Fu Hua quietly took Samuel's changed slave clothes and buried them in a pile of mud in a grassy field behind the thatched cottage.
"Sigh, I'll set up a cenotaph for you, and you should properly reincarnate in your next life!" After placing a stick of incense on it,
Fu Hua got up and returned.
Beside Samuel's Cenotaph were seven or eight small mud bags.
Slaves were just tools to do whatever they were asked to. Once they could not do this, no one would care about their lives. Even if someone cared, they would not offend a non-Slave because of them.
Humans were human beings, but slaves were dogs. Who would offend people for dogs?
While Zhexuzi was enjoying his life, Ruoyu took her people back to the main hall of the peak.
At first, Zhexuzi was quite afraid. After all, he had never thought that he could kill a slave casually, but his master actually sent someone to catch him. But after thinking about it, it did not matter.
At most, he would just be scolded. How could his master be so cruel to him because of a slave?
When they arrived at the hall and saw Lin Mengxi, although Zhexuzi respectfully called her Master, he didn't care at all.
Ruoyu kicked the guy's foot and made him kneel on the ground.
"Let them in," Lin Mengxi said softly.
Ruoyu nodded and said to the outside of the hall.
Soon, the disciples of the Fourth Peak came in one by one and lined up on both sides.
The slaves at the peak gathered outside the hall.
Looking at this posture, Zhexuzi was a little panicked. "Master, what are you doing?" "Zhexuzi, is there anything you need to explain to me about Samuel entering Ciyun Cave?" Lin Mengxi asked with a cold face.
Normally, it was not a big deal for Zhexuzi to put on airs. The lives of slaves from Eight Direction World were indeed not counted as life, which was almost the consensus of this world. Therefore, many times, she could only turn a blind eye to Zhexuzi killing slaves.
It was not that Lin Mengxi was cruel, but there were some things that she could not care about. Once she did, she would be condemned by thousands of people.
Sometimes, she was too sympathetic to slaves, which would make many people angry. In the end, she became the wrong person.
It was common for people to challenge society like this.
But this time, Lin Mengxi had to take care of it.
Although Samuel was a slave of the Fourth Peak, it was arranged by the Sect Leader himself. As a result, Samuel died in the Ciyun Cave less than a week after entering the Fourth Peak. How could she explain it to the Sect Leader?!
Lin Mengxi knew that the Sect Leader must have his reasons for doing so, so she asked Qin Shuang to teach Samuel some basics. But now, he had died in her fourth peak. Who else could take the blame if Zhexuzi didn't take the blame?
"Master, Samuel... he... he went against the rules. I said a few words to him, and when I was going to punish him, he was afraid, so he ran away. At that time, I chased after him, but he ran into the Ciyun Cave in a panic." Zhexuzi knew that since his master intended to pursue the matter, the previous perfunctory words could not be useful, so he made up a relatively credible lie.
"You're still lying to me at this time." Lin Mengxi was very angry. "Ruoyu, inform all the disciples that Zhexuzi is arrogant and has no respect for the elder. At the same time, he is violent and doesn't take human life seriously. From today on, he will be demoted to a cripple."
In fact, Zhexuzi didn't know that even if he said any reason, Lin Mengxi wouldn't believe him. She just wanted to find an excuse to punish him. Killing slaves couldn't be an excuse, but there would be other reasons!
Just as Ruoyu was about to make a move and Zhexuzi was panicking, a disciple in charge of patrolling the peak suddenly rushed into the hall.
