Sect elders gather for punishment

Li Tian went through the outer sect road that was connected to the outer sect elders hall. He felt that people around him were already gossiping about him being able to fall in the death valley and still walk.

" Hey, this guy was thrown in the death valley by Li Feng."

" I heard it too. but this guy seems alright."

" Probably the Li family patriarch is putting pressure on his family."

" I've heard that only his mother is alive and he is still living in the family because of his uncle being the family patriarch."

" Really? That's why he is still good after falling in that valley. I'm curious to know why he came today."

Li Tian was already annoyed by those bastards who knew nothing else but only gossiping and trash-talking others. An outer sect disciple of the Li sect who was cleaning that moment heard all the words and decided to interfere.

" Yo, you bastards need to shut up and go finish your jobs. Y'all are trash who are going stay as an outer sect disciple for your entire lives."

" Huh! Qin Dong. You are trash. You too are going to stay in the outer sect for your entire life."

" I'm 14 and I'm not part of any family. I just got into this sect because had nowhere else to go."

" Thank you brother for trying to protect me. Li Tian pays respect."

" Don't worry. You better go if you want to save your friend from punishment."

( Who is this guy?! Never seen in the other lives. I guess a different decision somewhere in time will create a whole new story. I will keep an eye on him for now. He looks dependable.)

Li Tian walked towards the elder's hall. He thought to enter directly but the guards stopped him.

" Hey, Li Tian. Stay back! This is not somewhere you should go!"

" Seniors need to understand that I need to go there to stop mistreatment and a wrong punishment."

" Li Tian, it's not us who is stopping you but thee is the elder's hall and the elders made clear not to let anyone enter."

The guards never thought to step back although they didn't want to hit Li Tian. But it was the Li family patriarch who was at the same time the third outer elder of the Li outer sect.

" Why so noise here? Oh, Li Tian, you look good! It's good to see you! Why you come here?"

" Li Tian pays respect to Uncle. Uncle, I come here to stop the elders from punishing Li Feng!"

" Oh, then come in. I know my son sometimes is a big idiot but I'm sure he didn't want to throw you down there."

" I know. Uncle doesn't need to worry."

Li Tian, after getting thrown for the first time in the DV thought that all that was a plan to take him down for good. And, after getting revived and he awakened an 8-grade martial spirit he killed all the Li family. Just after getting revived for the fourth time, he understood that the Li family was not his enemies. But his allies. From that time he came again and again after every revive in elders hall to stop the punishment of Li Feng.

" Sect leader, other elders. Li Tian is here to tell us what happened today. Care to listen before making any misjudgment?"

" Ho, Let's hear the boy," said the grand elder, also known as the first elder.

" Disciple pays respect to Sect leader and sect elders. Also as a junior, I pay respect to seniors here. Then I will start telling what truly happened out there."

" Go junior. Don't fear anyone. I will protect you with my life" said the second elder.

" This disciple thank the second elder for his insurance. Then if you allow me I'm starting.

My father is dead. And if not for the Li family who treated us the same as all the families although we couldn't offer the same thing as other families then my mom and I would be mistreated by other families.

Although Li Feng is the son of the patriarch he treated me like his brother. He knew I couldn't afford medicines to cultivate, so he gave me fifty per cent of his share from the family. And I never shined in martial arts, but in the Li family, Li Feng is considered a genius. But he still stood firm and took care of me as a big brother. And today was the same thing. Li Feng had achieved a grade three martial skill called " Savage lion roar". And we were practising it. Because after Li Feng learn it, I would take it for free.

And so, it was my idea of training it there. So Li Feng did no wrong in this matter. And if being punished for practising near death valley is still an option then I Li Tian need to be punished because it was my idea. That's all this disciple has to say."

( This kid) though the third elder.

" Oh, very good then, the matter today will end here, with your punishment with three days of forced cultivation in the Li cave. You will also not eat or drink anything during that period. Also to appreciate your honest way of telling the story, even though it was in your bad, then the sect will reward you with three spirit nourishing pills that are necessary to help someone awaken his martial spirit."

" I don't accept!" said Li Feng in a high voice.

" Who dares disobey my words?" asked sect leader after Li Feng talked.

" I ask the master for forgiveness, but I can't stand a misjudgment like this. Although Li Tian is injured, although Li Feng has the same responsibility as Li Tian, the only one punished is Li Tian. This disciple respect master but I can't let this matter. I suggest the same punishment even for me."

( This kid) said the third elder again.

" Oh, good then you will take the same punishment. This is the end of this matter. And congratulations to the third elder for having students in a good manner."

( I can't believe this. This guy has a good son and a good disciple, meanwhile I the great second elder don't have a son and also don't have a good disciple.)
