Lu Wuyai cupped his hands in greeting, but his heart trembled. The commotion here had actually alarmed the old sect master.
His gaze slowly shifted to the young and beautiful girl beside the old sect leader.
So it was this girl...
"If I hadn't come, who knows what kind of mess you would have made of me? If word got out, wouldn't you be a laughingstock?"
The old sect leader always exuded a terrifying aura and pressure. The invisible majesty he emanated seemed to be able to captivate people's souls, making them dare not look directly into his deep eyes.
Lu Wuyai's murderous intent subsided somewhat as he explained, "Sect Master, the matter is like this..."
"No need to explain, I've already heard what happened from Qianzhi."
The old sect leader raised his hand to interrupt Lu Wuyai's words, and then his eyes, which were slightly meaningful, slowly fell on Zhang Yun.

Chapter 102 The Wedding
"Zhang Yun, how dare you be so insolent! You killed a fellow disciple for personal revenge, which has had an extremely negative impact on the sect. As the sect leader, I have the right to punish you!"
The old sect leader's rebuke sent shivers down the spines of all the Yunwu Sect disciples present.
Old Sect Master, this means Zhang Yun must be severely punished!
"metropolitan!"
Luo Chen's expression turned grim, but he was powerless to do anything about it.
The old sect leader's word was law; he represented absolute authority within the Yunwu Sect.
His word was law, and even Luo Chen, the vice sect master, had no right to interfere.
"Hmph." Lu Wuyai's anger was still burning, but he still snorted coldly. As long as the old sect leader imprisoned Zhang Yun to await trial, he would have plenty of ways to put him to death!
"Therefore, I have decided to confine you for three months to reflect on your mistakes. If you still do not repent after three months... then we'll see."
The old sect leader said in a deep voice that three months later, he had no intention of continuing to blame Zhang Yun, and thus casually gave a vague answer.
Just... just three months of solitary confinement?
Upon hearing the old sect leader's decision regarding Zhang Yun, the Yunwu Sect disciples present were all somewhat bewildered.
Compared to the death penalty, this punishment is utterly insignificant...
Lu Wuyai's lips twitched violently, his heart filled with frustration and helplessness.
On the surface, the old sect leader was reprimanding Zhang Yun and punishing him, but anyone could hear the underlying intention of protecting and favoring him.
Today, Zhang Yun forcefully killed Zhang Zigu, yet he emerged unscathed. Regardless of whether the Zhang family will retaliate in the future, Zhang Zigu's death today was in vain.
Zhang Yun slowly raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Qianzhi, then they smiled at each other.
If Qian Xunji were to be forcibly summoned, even with Qian Xunji's strength as a Title Douluo, appearing in the Yunwu Sect and being able to instantly destroy everything, the damage to Zhang Yun would be enormous, and he might even pay the price with his life.
For Zhang Yun, this outcome is the best possible result.
Of course, the efforts of Qianzhi played a crucial role in this.
"It seems that if I want to do well in the Cloud Sky Continent, I need to improve my strength as soon as possible and come up with a way to open up a safe connection between the inner world and the outer world."
Even though Zhang Yun now possesses the strength to sweep among the younger generation, there are still too many stronger individuals on the Yuntian Continent than him.
Even at the Chakra Realm, one is still far too insignificant in the face of true powerhouses.
"Qianzhi, take Zhang Yun to the locked room and say goodbye to him properly."
When the old sect leader looked at Ye Qianzhi, his deep eyes held a hint of appreciation, as well as a trace of barely perceptible guilt.
"Yes, Master." Ye Qianzhi nodded lightly, then smiled at Zhang Yun and said, "Young Master, please come with me."
Zhang Yun was confined to a courtyard of moderate size, surrounded by lush bamboo groves. Apart from the slight rustling of bamboo leaves in the breeze, the environment was serene and quiet. In this vast and tranquil setting, it was easy to relax and immerse oneself in the beauty of nature.
But the wind today carried a hint of gloom.
"Qianzhi, you seem to have something on your mind?"
Zhang Yun slowly stopped, his eyes falling on Ye Qianzhi.
Qianzhi has been by his side since she was a child. Zhang Yun can usually tell what she is thinking just by looking at her frown or her smile.
With Zhang Yun's keen eyesight, how could he not see that Ye Qianzhi had something on her mind?
"No...no, young master, you should just keep me in solitary confinement."
Ye Qianzhi's eyes darted away, not daring to look directly into the young master's eyes, which made Zhang Yun's eyes narrow slightly, further confirming his thoughts.
"Is there something you can't tell your young master?" Zhang Yun asked Ye Qianzhi with a serious expression.
"Young Master... I, I really have nothing on my mind, please don't ask anymore." Ye Qianzhi lowered her head, not wanting Zhang Yun to see the lingering sadness on her lips.
"Did someone bully you? Tell me, and I'll teach them a lesson for you!" Zhang Yunjian frowned, his voice revealing a hint of anger.
Ye Qianzhi stammered, "No...no one bullied me, please don't ask anymore, young master."
"If you don't tell me now, I'm really going to get angry." A sharp glint flashed in Zhang Yun's eyes, and he vaguely sensed that things were not as simple as he had imagined.
