A quiet house with pink walls outside the courtyard, green willows hanging around, three hanging flower gate towers, and majestic stone lions and white marble on both sides of the gate tower. The tall gate is more than two meters tall, and the plaque of Xuanguan contains four big words "Sided and Secluded Residence".

The corridors in the courtyard are connected to each other and in and out. All the courtyards are flocking to each other. The largest courtyard in the center is full of high-quality peonies.

In the room in the courtyard, I sat cross-legged on the bed, and after running for a whole week, I slowly opened my eyes. I looked up at Hu Qiugu, who was standing down and said with a slight stern look,

"Sit down and talk with a bench."

The master was determined to be a disciple and dared not to obey. Hu Qiugu stood ten feet away from the bed and said respectfully: "Master, your injury is not hindered? What are the instructions for recruiting disciples?"

Du Xiuzhen's face was not good and said slowly: "It was just a backlash after breaking the ban. It has been restored in three days. Elder Hua is not here and I am in seclusion again. I ordered you to be fully responsible for all matters of the students. Is there any mistake?"

Hu Qiugu only thought that the master was in a bad mood because he was trapped in this courtyard and did not think about it any other way. After being asked, his smile appeared proudly and said: "Su Qingyi has been isolated, and there is no flat-haired beast by her side. Let's clean up, just wait for your order from the master."

Unexpectedly, Du Xiuzhen on the opposite side suddenly looked fierce: "Are you going to make a fuss? When will you fight again? It doesn't matter if you compete with each other in the academy, and it does not like Su Qingyi and want to cause trouble for her everywhere."

"But now is different from the past. Everyone is trapped in this house together. People who came from Cailuan Academy should be united when they have difficulties. As for grudges, it is not too late to resolve them when they return to the college."

Although Du Xiuzhen is greedy for money and is a little petty, he can still be distinguished in the face of big troubles. Even if his apprentice makes a mistake, he should still be scolded without mercy.

Seeing Hu Qiugu wrinkling his little face, he seemed to disagree with what he said. Du Xiuzhen's speech suddenly increased a little, not because of anger, but because of a bit coldness.

"When you are in the mountains and forests, you are asked to watch Su Qingyi. She can suffer some losses and get hurt, but she doesn't want you to have the intention to kill her life."

"Disregarding safety, I tried my best to dissuade all the students from entering the golden woods. Is it a murderous intention to kill Su Qingyi? When Xiaohong was away, the students were happy and unintentional, they secretly took action to end Su Qingyi's life."

Du Xiuzhen's tone of speech became colder and he scolded: "People who can compete with each other, but if they want to make money and kill their lives, how can they get the Confucianism they have learned?"

Hu Qiugu retorted weakly: "I haven't, Master, have you misunderstood me?"

Du Xiuzhen was unmoved and continued coldly: "Quote! I know that your plan is three mistakes, and it is one mistake to kill Su Qingyi's life. After Su Qingyi's death, it is one mistake to find a way to seize Xiaohong. Don't talk about Xiaohong's spirituality, whether he will kill him at all costs. Just the college's emphasis on Xiaohong from top to bottom will not make you touch the slightest."

Du Xiuzhen became more and more angry and asked word by word: "Do you know? What is the third mistake?"

Master Hu Qiugu was really angry and stopped sitting and responding. He knelt on the ground with a thud, and Lihua sobbed with rain: "I don't know, please tell me clearly, please forgive me."

Du Xiu's needle didn't make a single breath, so he solemnly reminded him: "I won't be the example."

Then he said: "With your caution, although you can't see the danger of the golden maple forest, you will never break in at will. At that time, you encouraged the students to enter first, but have you ever thought about the safety of your classmates? Remember to me, Cailuan Academy strictly prohibits the same classmates from harming each other."

Hu Qiugu finally understood the real reason why the master was angry, and was frightened and discouraged. It turned out that in the master's eyes, the status of the academy was higher than that of her apprentice. When it was necessary to choose between the academy and her, the master would choose the former without hesitation.

Some self-centered people are often like this. They can only see others’ faults and others’ faults, and they will ignore the despises they make every time.

Du Xiuzhen made a choice between right and wrong, while Hu Qiugu ignored this point. What he valued was the choice between the master and his apprentice.

Seeing that the master was angry, Hu Qiugu did not dare to express anything. He suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and pretended to repent: "The disciple knew he was wrong, so please punish him."

First, I would like to show that I admit my mistake and retreat to advance. It can be seen how deep the scheming of this 14 or 15-year-old girl is. If it were other innocent girls who were originally innocent, I would probably cry and say, "Disciple knows the mistake, please forgive me."

There are many differences between the two words: punishment and forgiveness. The former knows the mistakes and corrects the mistakes, while the latter knows the mistakes, and it is unknown whether to correct or not.

Du Xiuzhen was very employed by Hu Qiugu's set. After nodding with satisfaction, his solemn face slowly calmed down. He put on the appearance of being a mentor on weekdays, stern but not cold.

He walked out of the bed and helped the girl choked up and comforted her softly: "Just know your mistake. I just said that I should be united, but now how can I punish you? Besides, you are my apprentice, so how can you not take care of your apprentice?"

"Get up and talk. I was a little serious just now. I was really angry with you. Remember not to do such stupid things in the future. Even if you have resentment to your classmates, you can teach them a lesson, but you must master the right measure."

Hu Qiugu also became a well-behaved disciple again, wiped his tears and asked in a low voice: "The master has been in seclusion for three days, now I am hungry. Do you want your disciple to get some food?"

Du Xiuzhener smiled: "I am indeed a little hungry, I am tired of Qiugu."

Suddenly I remembered something and reminded me: "Just take some of it, there is no need to be too much. I don't know how long I will be trapped in this mansion, and I should prepare for a protracted war. Food should be used for savings, and more should be left to fellow students with low cultivation."

"The disciple knows," Hu Qiugu bowed and retreated. After going out, he closed the door, and his face showed ferociousness when he turned around.

He murmured in a low voice: "It should be normal for such a big courtyard to suddenly appear in a corner. Su Qingyi, hum, I was scolded by my master today and I must repay it a hundred times."

The girl with ponytail stared at the four big words "Scenery and Secluded Residence" and stared at the four big words "Scenery and Secluded Residence". She raised her eyebrows and said to herself: "I clearly came in here, why can't I get out?"

Recalling the scene that day, the ponytail girl smiled knowingly: "Teacher Du can leave by herself, but at the critical moment, she chose to work with the students. Although she was very mean to me, she was still the responsible tutor for a student."

The ponytail girl thought about it and said guiltily alone: ​​"After all, it's the teacher. What Xiaohong did last time was a bit inappropriate. After Teacher Du came out of seclusion, I have to find her to accompany her."

"Well, you can't just say it with your mouth. Instructor Du forced himself to break the ban and was injured. As students, we cannot put in the effort, and we cannot wait and do nothing. We should help Instructor Du share some burden, even a little bit, at least we must work hard."

After speaking, the good girl with a ponytail bent down by herself, knocking on the ground, stone lions, door walls, etc., carefully and seriously, not letting go of any clues.

"You don't need to cry and pretend to be compassionate, the master will not accept your affection." Hu Qiugu's sarcasm suddenly came from the gate, without understanding the kindness of the ponytail girl.

After the sound, four green robe students led by Hu Qiugu walked out together. Seeing the ponytail girl squatting on the ground and knocking, she immediately spread out and surrounded her in the middle.

"We are here to teach you a little bitch girl a lesson by the order of Instructor Du. It is best not to resist, otherwise it will make the instructor angry and you will be in trouble." Hu Qiugu, the leader, said in a bad tone and explained his purpose.

The ponytail girl who was already guilty slowly stood up and glanced around casually. Finally, her eyes fixed on Hu Qiugu and asked: "Is it really what Teacher Du asked you to come?"

"Hmph, Su Qingyi, are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? Now here, Teacher Du is the biggest, and you know the grudges between you and Teacher Du. If you are not a tutor, who can order us?" Hu Qiugu, who was lying, did not blush and his heart would be serious.

As if he accepted his fate, the girl with ponytail slowly closed her long and narrow eyes of Qiu Shui. She said frankly: "You guys do it, I will take it first if I have any mistakes, and I will never fight back."

Suddenly, the sound of breaking through the air came from his ears, and the girl with a ponytail subconsciously tilted her head. At the same time, she opened her eyes and saw three embroidery needles passing by her scalp.

The girl didn't think too much, raised her feet and jumped away from the place. She shouted angrily: "Minister Du couldn't order you to kill me, it was you, Hu Qiugu, who took his own initiative!"

"Su Qingyi, you untrustworthy aunt, didn't you say you would not fight back? Why do you still dodge?" Hu Qiugu avoided the important things and did not mention the killer, but grabbed Su Qingyi's flaws.

The latter is willing to accept punishment, but will not be so stupid that he can be slaughtered and taken away his life at will.

In Cailuan Academy, most of the colleges have weapons of embroidery needles. When they are not strong enough, they cannot control the weapon, so they tie a thread at the end of the embroidery needle to make it look like a flying needle.

Most of them are not all. There are always some special students. They either have inherited weapons and martial arts, or choose other ones with special interests. They have enough confidence and strength, and can also nourish the more killing natal flying sword.

Su Qingyi is not using embroidery needles, but is good at a short black knife with the word "yi" engraved on it.

It was in Qingyang Town that Xing Zhen gave her mother and son blade. There was no life-and-death battle in the academy, and the mother and son blade never separated. Therefore, in the eyes of the students, Su Qingyi's weapon was a short sword.

These four people had the intention of taking their own lives, and Su Qingyi would never sit and wait for death. The black short knife in her sleeve slid down, holding it in her hand and ready to go.

Hu Qiugu was full of contempt and said sarcastically: "Do you still want to resist? All the strongest four students on this trip will be here again. Do you have a chance?"

The other three people pulled up the leaders of the three small gangs when they were in the golden maple forest. There was no need to say much about their strength. Without enough shock, how could anyone convince them?

Su Qingyi looked at them and asked, "Do you want to make things difficult for me too?"

Without waiting for the three of them to answer, Hu Qiugu rushed to say, "Nonsense, if it weren't for you that day, how could they have been scolded by Elder Hua?"

Worried that the night would be delayed and the dreams would be long, Hu Qiugu drank: "What are you waiting for if you don't take action?"

The handsome man took the lead, and the embroidery needle that had just been pulled back from the silk thread was thrown out again. The sound of the wind broke and the embroidery needle flickered away.

There were sounds in Su Qingyi's four directions, which was obvious, and the other three also took action. In the four directions, four embroidery needles.

Su Qingyi, who knew the embroidery needle as if he was close to the palm of his hand, bent back and leaned back, and the embroidery needle that Hu Qiugu threw out was rubbing against the tip of his nose.

Su Qingyi, who bent over, waved her arms and threw out the short blade, and circled and cut off the thread that linked the embroidery needle behind her.

Su Qingyi exerted force on her waist, and before the embroidery needles were reached on both sides, the person was already standing upright. At the same time, she stomped her feet heavily, and the girl rose up from the ground.

The embroidery needles that came from left and right passed by, and Su Qingyi, who fell back on the spot, stepped on a silk thread on each of her feet. After landing, she rotated on the spot and easily cut it off.

Su Qingyi tapped her toes lightly, and her body was as light as a swallow. She swept towards Hu Qiugu as quickly as the wind, twisting her body in the air, avoiding the embroidery needle that was shot out again after being pulled back.

He raised his hand and cut off the silk thread, and grabbed the pre-returned silk thread like lightning. A thousand golds pressed his head and his body fell straight down.

Then he pulled his arm hard and pulled it back hard. Hu Qiugu at the other end of the silk thread was pulled by the force of rushing into it and pounced on the ponytail girl opposite.
