The little fatty jolted, then scrambled up in a flurry and began hiding all over the training field.

Then they saw Scarlet Flame chasing after the little fatty, Luo Yunji, stabbing nonstop toward his bottom. Zhang Xiaofan chased behind Scarlet Flame, trying to catch it.

Tian Buyi merely beckoned casually from time to time, controlling the flying sword.

Off to the side, Tian Linger saw Luo Yunji, who had always been spoiled by everyone on Big Bamboo Peak, getting beaten, and happily clapped without stopping, even shouting a few words now and then to cheer her father on.

Seeing this, Su Ru knew her husband only wanted to teach his little disciple a lesson and was not doing anything excessive, so she smiled, shook her head, and stood to one side without stopping him.

"Come on, little junior brother!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Left, run left!"

"It's hitting him! It's hitting him! It's about to hit him!"

"Hahaha!"

All the senior brothers had run out after hearing the commotion, afraid that Master was truly angry and wanted to punish their little junior brother; they had originally meant to plead for mercy.

But once they saw what was happening on the scene, they completely changed their original intention. It was clear that all the senior brothers were striding boldly down the broad road toward becoming black-bellied!

"Ahh! I'm exhausted!" After being taught a lesson, Luo Yunji was carried back to his residence on Zhang Xiaofan's back. At this moment, he was lying on the bed, groaning.

"Don't move. I'll put medicine on you!" Zhang Xiaofan pulled down the little fatty's underwear and saw that his fair, tender bottom was covered in red spots, yet not a single place had broken skin. He then knew that Master had not been too angry and had only wanted to use this chance to knock some sense into his little junior brother.

Zhang Xiaofan relaxed. Thinking of his little junior brother's wretched appearance today, he let out a "pfft" and laughed.

"Hurry up and put the medicine on!" Luo Yunji waited for ages without feeling any movement behind him, so he urged him.

"No need! Master didn't use any force. Not a single place broke skin or bled!" Zhang Xiaofan plugged the ointment bottle and replied with a smile.

"Oh! That big fatty! Bullying even little kids! He's too awful!" The more Luo Yunji thought about it, the more wronged his bellyful of grievances became.

"Little junior brother! Master is doing this for your own good too! You should exercise more in the future!" Zhang Xiaofan pulled Luo Yunji's underwear back up and advised him earnestly.

"But that'll be so tiring!" Luo Yunji frowned with his chubby little face and fell into a miserable struggle.

"But if you stay like you are now, calling tired after just a few steps, that really isn't good! If I'm not by your side in the future, what will you do?" Zhang Xiaofan's face was full of worry.

"It's fine! Wherever you go in the future, little senior brother, I'll go too. Then everything's solved!" Luo Yunji looked back at Zhang Xiaofan with an expression that said there was no need to worry about this problem at all, smiling very smugly. "Senior brother! You'll always take care of me, right?"

Zhang Xiaofan was deeply helpless, but he did smile and nod!

And truly, he really could not bear to part with this little fatty.

But had he grown too quickly? Some time ago, he had only been half a head taller than his little junior brother, but now he was already a whole head taller.

Zhang Xiaofan rubbed Luo Yunji's head and thought with some amusement, "Maybe it's little junior brother who got shorter."

"Seventh junior brother! You really do spoil little junior brother!"

"How is it? Does your bottom still hurt?"

"Haha! Little junior brother has improved! Senior brother here never thought you could actually run that fast. Even Master's flying sword almost couldn't catch up to you! Hahaha!" Several senior brothers laughed loudly as they pushed the door open and walked in, each of them teasing him one after another.

But how could the little fatty, who had no common sense, know they were teasing him? Seeing everyone come in, he immediately put on a mournful face and miserably recounted how tragic he had been today, and how awful the big fatty was.

The listeners were amused for quite a while again.

Song Daren lifted the little fatty's underwear and saw that apart from some red marks on his butt cheeks, there was actually not the slightest injury. He knew that Master had only wanted to teach this bone-lazy little junior brother a lesson. But would this kind of punishment really be useful?! Song Daren thought somewhat helplessly. Seeing the little fatty's miserable expression, he smiled and slapped his bottom.

"Aow! Eldest senior brother!" The little fatty grimaced and cried out in pain at Song Daren, who was sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Haha! How is it? Are you badly hurt?" Seeing Song Daren's action, He Dazhi knew the injury should not be serious, but he still asked out of concern.

"The skin isn't even broken. Just some red marks."

"Master is way too softhearted!" Old Six's eyes curved with laughter at this moment as he kept staring at Luo Yunji's butt cheeks.

"Sixth senior brother! How can you be like this! I really am injured!" Luo Yunji glared at Old Six with a miserable face and shouted.

"Haha! This counts as an injury too?" As he spoke, Old Six reached out and swatted toward Luo Yunji's bottom.

He had wanted to do this for ages.

Among all the senior brothers, what they loved most was knocking some sense into this youngest junior brother of theirs! Yet they also spoiled him the most and least could bear to see him upset. It could be said they were extremely contradictory.

"Ah! Little senior brother!" Seeing this, Luo Yunji hurriedly pulled over the quilt beside him, shrank inside, curled into a ball, and shouted.

The moment Du Bishu raised his hand, Zhang Xiaofan had already shielded Luo Yunji in front of him.

"Aiyo! Seventh junior brother, aren't you protecting little junior brother a little too much!" When everyone saw Zhang Xiaofan guarding in front of little junior brother like an old hen protecting a chick, they all laughed.

"Sixth senior brother! Although little junior brother's bottom wasn't stabbed open by Master, if you slap it like that, it'll still hurt!" Zhang Xiaofan explained with a red face.

"Oh! It'll hurt, huh!" The senior brothers exchanged glances with one another, then suddenly swarmed forward. Old Five grabbed Zhang Xiaofan, Old Four also more or less blocked in front of Zhang Xiaofan, while Old Six, Old Three, and Old Two rushed to the bed and gave Luo Yunji, who was wrapped in the quilt, a fierce rubbing through the quilt and all.

"Aow aow aow! You bad people! Aow aow!" From inside the room came Luo Yunji's screams from time to time, along with the laughter of all the senior brothers.

"You're all bad people!" The little fatty's furious roar, accompanied by everyone's laughter, spread far across Big Bamboo Peak.

Seeing that their little junior brother was fine, the senior brothers were relieved. After they had made enough trouble, they all went back.

On the bed, Luo Yunji was hugging Zhang Xiaofan and had long since fallen asleep, but in his dreams he still seemed to be getting bullied by his senior brothers, mumbling something nonstop.

After hearing it, Zhang Xiaofan was quite speechless. Today had indeed worn out this little junior brother, who was lazy beyond all bounds!

"Hmph!" The next day, no matter whom Luo Yunji saw, he would give them just such a sound, adding an eye-roll and a head-turn, which once again provoked everyone into rubbing and patting him for a while.

The little fatty finished breakfast with a grimace, then grabbed Zhang Xiaofan and ran off.

"This little junior brother of ours!" Song Daren looked at the table full of bowls and chopsticks, his smile full of indulgent affection, then got up with the other junior brothers and began clearing everything away.

"You're all the ones who spoil him!" Early that morning, Tian Buyi had also reaped an eye roll and a cold snort from his youngest disciple, and he was truly displeased inside.

Seeing Tian Buyi's face turn stern, all the senior and junior brothers lowered their brows and made themselves look obedient, quickening the movements of their hands.

At the sight of everyone's behavior, Tian Buyi had a bellyful of fire, but no good way to let it out. He flung his sleeves and left the dining hall in a huff.
