Straighten Them Out Thoroughly

The next day, after copying millions of words, the three students stood obediently in front of Wu Chu, accepting their master's final inspection of the fruits of their labor from the previous night's hard work, to see if there were any bad behaviors such as sloppy copying, deliberate omissions, or perfunctory work.

Fortunately, the test results were satisfactory to Wu Chu, the master.

Then Wu Chu casually waved his hand, turning the waste paper back into leaves. The leaves, carried by the gentle breeze from his sleeve, drifted out of the pavilion and floated towards the lake.

Wu Chu sat down in the pavilion, took the tea offered by the Little Fox, and said, "You've been copying all night, and thinking about it all night. Do you understand where you went wrong?"

As the eldest disciple, Little Yellow Dragon was the first to step forward, weakly saying, "I shouldn't have disobeyed Master's words; I should have brought my junior brothers and sisters back sooner."

Wu Chu nodded slightly and then asked, "Then why should those two also be punished?"

Xiao Feng Yi's eyes widened, while the Little Qilin pricked up its ears, because this was precisely what they couldn't understand. If their senior brother hadn't been punished for taking them out to play and trying to make them happy, they would have felt even more wronged.

On the second floor of the Main Hall, Houtu and Fox Ancestress Ancestor leaned on the railing, their elbows resting on the wooden railing, their slender waists swaying, revealing their round and perky Flat Peach hidden beneath their colorful feathered robes.

If you are lucky enough to see this beautiful scenery, you will understand why Wu Chu was so audacious as to want everything!

The two watched silently as Wu Chu instructed his apprentice. Little Moon Spirit flew over, carrying two cups of hot drinks. "The weather's getting cooler, sister, come try my newly made coconut milk tea..."

"Little Moon Spirit, do you know why Little Golden Phoenix and Little Qilin are also being punished?" Qingqiu Li gently flicked the Windcloud Violet Glow Sash wrapped around her arm and asked with a smile.

"Because they are fellow disciples!" Little Moon Spirit said with a smile, "Brother A Chu once told me that since we live on this Purple Jade Mountain, we are all one entity, sharing both prosperity and adversity. Therefore, we should be of one spirit and united in friendship..."

As they were talking, Wu Chu spoke up to them, "Because you are fellow disciples, senior brother and junior sister. Since your senior brother is being punished because of you two junior brothers and sisters, it is only right that you share the punishment with him."

This explanation made Little Golden Phoenix and Little Qilin feel a little better. Then they heard their master ask again, "Do you know why I'm giving you additional punishment?"

The three little ones Qidian, "Because we are fellow disciples, senior and junior brothers and sisters!"

Wu Chu took a sip of tea and nodded. "That's right! Because you are fellow disciples, senior and junior brothers. If the junior sister is punished and the senior and junior brothers don't plead for her, then they should also be punished."

Little Golden Phoenix thought for a moment, then asked in confusion, "But I pleaded for my senior brother at the beginning! Why did Master still punish us?"

Wu Chu put down his teacup and asked with a smile, "Because your senior brother didn't listen to me, and you didn't try to persuade him, do you think it's wrong for me to punish you?"

"..."

The three little ones lowered their heads silently, feeling they couldn't argue with their master at all; no matter what they said, their master was right. Fine, they decided to stay silent; they were wrong anyway!

Seeing their dejected appearance, Wu Chu pointed, and two beams of light flew towards the Little Golden Phoenix and the Little Qilin respectively. "This is the Golden Core Cultivation Method that I will pass on to you, as well as the <Nine-Turn Mysterious Technique> suitable for your respective cultivation. From now on, you two will switch to this cultivation method! You should no longer cultivate the cultivation methods of your clans."

Upon hearing this, Little Golden Phoenix raised her head and asked in confusion, "Master, why? Isn't our Phoenix Clan's cultivation method more suitable for me?"

Wu Chu nodded slightly and said, "That's true! But don't forget, you are now Wu Chu disciple, a cultivator of Purple Jade Mountain. You have nothing to do with the Phoenix Clan anymore, at least not until you graduate. As for what happens after you graduate, whether you stay or leave is entirely up to you. But if you choose to return to the Phoenix Clan, then you will have nothing to do with Purple Jade Mountain or with me, Wu Chu. Do you understand?"

Little Golden Phoenix naturally understood this long ago, but she never expected that after becoming Wu Chu's disciple, she would have to abandon even the clan's cultivation methods.

After a pause, Wu Chu continued, "Don't underestimate these two cultivation methods. They might not be inferior to your own cultivation methods. This is the cultivation method I'm currently practicing."

The two children nodded silently; they dared not underestimate their master.

"Little Doudou, as their senior brother, please keep an eye on their cultivation. If you two have any questions, you can ask him. If he can't answer them, you can ask others, or you can ask me..."

"Oh, right!" Wu Chu said, looking at the Little Golden Phoenix, "If you feel uncomfortable living here, you can build your own nest on that Fire Parasol Tree."

"..."

Little Golden Phoenix's lips twitched slightly. She felt that her master was far too unserious. What did he mean by "build a nest"? Was he taking advantage of her Phoenix Clan's ignorance of house building?

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Thank you, Master!"

"Bi Huo, Bi Huo, where have you been?"

Wu Chu, somewhat like a grumpy older brother, shouted towards the direction of the Fire Parasol Tree, startling the three little ones who involuntarily shrank back.

Before long, Bi Huo flew over, transforming into a small bird. It glanced at Wu Chu somewhat uneasily and said, "Master, I'm here."

"Go and build a nest for Xiao Feng Yi, so Feng Yi can live on that Fire Parasol Tree from now on."

"..."

Bi Huo paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

In this way, Wu Chu took care of the three little ones perfectly.

Next, they almost copied the same courses they used to train Little Yellow Dragon and applied them to their two young disciples, Feng Yi and Di Kun.

In the morning, they study Chinese and math; in the afternoon, they study music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, occasionally with a magical combat lesson; and in the evening, they practice breathing exercises.

If you're interested in extracurricular tutoring, Purple Jade Mountain also offers cooking classes, bartending classes, pastry chef classes, and more... The teacher for these classes is Little Moon Spirit.

Of the three disciples, the Little Qilin is a bit slow-witted and not interested in extracurricular tutoring. His favorite thing is to transform back into his original Qilin Clan form and run wild in the mountains and forests. He usually seems dull, but he learns the Shrinking Earth Divine Ability taught to him Houtu Miss Houtu quite quickly. Moreover, once he returns to the mountains and forests, he immediately becomes lively, like a silly roe deer.

Little Golden Phoenix is a bit serious, but she's also a little obsessed with mixing fine wines and spirits.

Little Yellow Dragon's personality is somewhere in between; he's neither dull nor serious, and he's quite interested in the culinary class, especially after the disappointing experience of the last failed outdoor barbecue.

Unfortunately, although he had disciples from the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans, none of them were clever enough to flatter their master. Thumbs down!
