Chapter 79 The jealous genius

As an elder who has been cultivating for decades, being silenced by a nine-year-old child, Third Uncle Pei was ashamed and angry. He had no face to see others and just wanted to hide and avoid embarrassment.

But the vine cage trapped his hands and feet, and he could not cover his face or escape from the ancestral hall.

Amid the intense ups and downs of emotions, Third Uncle Pei didn't pay attention to what the patriarch said: "Ruxi's niece has silenced Third Brother. It's not too much for Third Brother to fight back angrily. Third Brother, please promise Yinggu that you will not attack Ruxi's niece."

The patriarch's proposal received no response from Pei Sanshu.

"Third brother?" The clan leader felt slightly dissatisfied.

Uncle Pei, who was locked in a vine cage, heard the sound and looked at him blankly.

So it turns out that my helping you was just wishful thinking?You didn't even listen to me.The patriarch lost the idea of ​​persuading Yinggu to let Uncle Pei go, and said calmly: "Confrontation. I want to go home and sleep, don't waste my time."

Confrontation requires the participation of both parties. Pei Han had given his testimony, and it was Pei Ruxi's turn to speak.Pei Ruxi repeated Pei Han's testimony verbatim to explain his behavior:

"There are many people in the Lin clan, and those who bully others are only a small number. Pei Han did not retaliate against those who bullied us, but instead beat up those who did not bully us. This cannot be called revenge on the Lin clan, but bullying. .

"According to the Pei clan, those who bully the weak should be punished. So, I taught four people, Pei Han, Pei Yin, Pei Tong, and Pei Yikui. Pei Donglai was taught a lesson by me because he lied. The clan system believes that people who lie should also be punished. .”

She behaved forcefully, and Pei Yin and Pei Tong did not have the courage to stand up and confront her, and Pei Han was also afraid of her.But Pei Han was a little smart and knew that the clan leader would favor him, so he said: "The Lin clan always bullies us, and there is nothing wrong with me bullying the people of the Lin clan!"

Pei Ruxi looked at him and said, "Your father failed to attack me secretly. Can I retaliate against you?"

Pei Han was afraid that she would do anything, so he quickly said, "No!"

Pei Ruxi said: "Every injustice has its owner, and every debtor has its owner. We will hit anyone who bullies us. We should not hurt innocent people."

what to do?What she said makes sense, how can I refute her? ...Pei Han was worried.

He didn't think of rebuttal, Pei Jinsheng did, and so did Fourth Uncle Pei.

However, Pei Jinsheng recalled the pressure that Pei Xiangrong had given him on the first day of the first lunar month of this year from the foundation-building monks. He also thought of Pei Ruxi's ability to silence Third Uncle Pei, and did not want to offend Pei Ruxi and his daughter.

Fourth Uncle Pei came to the clan leader and said, "Clan Leader, Pei Ruxi is not afraid of the Lin clan, why not send her to get back the spiritual field we lost?"

"Yes! Spiritual fields!" Pei Han suddenly realized and agreed with his fourth uncle Pei, "Clan leader, the Lin clan took away our spiritual fields. Pei is as capable and crazy as ever, and he will definitely get all our spiritual fields back!"

The clan leader wanted to get back the stolen spiritual field more than they did. Compared to Pei Han and Fourth Uncle Pei who wanted to make things difficult for Pei Ruxi by taking back the spiritual field, the clan leader was considering whether it was feasible to send Pei Ruxi to take back the spiritual field.

He felt it was not feasible. "My niece is only at the tenth level of qi refining. It's just a fluke that she can silence the third brother. She has no ability to get the spiritual field back."

Pei Ruxi didn't know if he could get the Lingtian back, and said: "Clan leader, what we are discussing now is that Pei Han and the other two are slandering me for bullying them, not the Lingtian. There is evidence that Pei Han and Pei Yikui have bullied the weak. Please investigate clearly. Don’t listen to them when they wrongly accuse me.”

She pulled the clan leader back from his thoughts of running away, looked at her, and said: "Pei Han and the other three bully the weak. This is wrong, but you are not qualified to teach them a lesson."

Pei Ruxi looked directly at the clan leader and said: "It is written in the clan law that if a clan member behaves or speaks in a way that slanders the Pei clan, they must stop it in time. The four of Pei Han bully others and damage the reputation of the Pei clan. As Pei The daughter of the Lin family, how can she not be qualified to prevent them from enmity with the Lin family?"

Patriarch: "I think you are not qualified, so you are not qualified."

Pei Ruxi was silent for two breaths and said, "I understand."

"Understand what?" Yinggu asked her. "No matter whether I made a mistake or not, the patriarch wants to punish me." Pei Ruxi's voice echoed in the wide hall.

She guessed what the patriarch was thinking, and the patriarch denied it flatly: "Stop talking nonsense!"

The fact is: the older Pei Ruxi grows and the higher her cultivation level, the less the clan leader likes her.

Because she was so good that he felt threatened.

Next, Pei Ruxi is not a peaceful person, she is very disobedient.

The clan reduced her resources, so she brought many children to the ancestral hall to cause trouble; the clan asked her to raise a ten-acre fish pond, but she was unwilling, so she came to the ancestral hall to cause trouble again.

If everyone follows Pei Ruxi's example and comes to the ancestral hall to cause trouble if something goes wrong, how will the clan arrange for everyone to do things?

Pei Jinlun believes that Pei Ruxi has affected the stability of the Pei family. She must be suppressed, her arrogance eliminated, and her sharp edges smoothed. Only then will everyone realize that making trouble is a must, and will they be honest and diligent. Sincerely contribute to the development and growth of the clan.

Pei Jinlun never told anyone about such secret thoughts.

Pei Ruxi pointed out that he deliberately punished her, and he scolded her without thinking: "You made a mistake, and punishing you is for your own good, to prevent you from doing it again next time!"

Pei Ruxi looked at him calmly, his eyes were extremely clear, as if he could understand all his dark thoughts.

In fact, she sensed his eagerness to hide the fact that he was indeed deliberately looking for excuses to punish her as she said.

She also sensed his hidden jealousy.

Say it?

Pei Ruxi hesitated for a short moment and chose to remain silent.

Pei Jinlun is a foundation-building monk. If he gets angry, the forehead ornament should be able to stop him.However, she was not sure whether he would attack Yinggu who was protecting her.

Yinggu cares about her, but she is reluctant to involve Yinggu in Pei Jinlun's jealousy of her.

"Niece Ruxi." Pei Jinlun seemed to notice Pei Ruxi's avoidance and took a step back. He said kindly, "You are smart and sensible, and you are diligent and conscientious in your cultivation. My uncle regards you as his own daughter and does not want to punish you. But you must remember Stay tuned, next time you see Pei Han or others bullying the weak, the clan will punish them without you having to do anything."

Translated, his words mean very simply: I’ll let you go this time, but don’t let me catch you next time.Also, if your own people bully others, you should pretend not to see it.

Pei Ruxi didn't like this, because her cultivation level was not as high as that of Pei Jinlun, so she followed his words and said, "I will do it." If the clan did not punish those who deliberately bullied the weak, she would do it.

"It's good if you understand." Pei Jinlun thought she had surrendered, and his tone was gentler, "Niece, your fighting ability is very good among your peers. If you see someone bullying our tribe, just fight him back. No need to show mercy.”

Pei Ruxi said yes.

Pei Jinlun looked kindly and spoke to her a few more words. Fang stood up and announced that the matter was over and everyone could go back to sleep.

Yinggu removed the vine cage that trapped Uncle Pei and returned to the fish pond with Pei Ruxi.

On the way, she sent a message to Pei Ruxi: "Ruxi, you don't have to remember what the patriarch said. You are born smart, have outstanding qualifications, and are an excellent genius. Even if you live and do things according to your own ideas, those restrictions on ordinary people Thinking outside the box doesn’t suit you.”
