"Do you think you own the sect? Who gave them the nerve!" The Third Elder’s anger flared.

The Ninth Elder quickly tried to soothe her. "Sister, there's a saying: ‘grievances have a source, and debts have a master.’ I don’t think this is the fault of these two little disciples. It’s all on the Beast Master Peak. If this isn’t dealt with harshly, today they dare to do this at the Maple Leaf Square, and tomorrow, they’ll dare to do it at our caves."

"Exactly!" The Third Elder took out a token with communication abilities and sent a soul message.

"I’ll call Old Sixth over here to see the good disciples he’s taught!"

Soon, the Sixth Elder arrived in a hurry.

"Sister, why did you call for me?"

"And you too..." Before the Sixth Elder could finish his greeting, the Third Elder grabbed his ear and dragged him to the Maple Leaf Square.

"Sister, what’s this about? There are two juniors here, show me some face."

Fuming, the Third Elder pointed at the Maple Leaf Square and demanded, "Tell me, what is this?"

The Sixth Elder glanced at the scene and blurted out, "Isn't this the sect’s open-air toilet? Can’t believe I’ve been here for hundreds of years and this is the first time I’ve seen it!"

"Sister, this toilet is quite interesting, and look, they've even planted trees!"

"I’ll ‘toilet’ you! Do you believe I’ll toss you in there?" The Third Elder was furious.

She pointed at the large sign next to them. "Tell me, what does this say?"

The Sixth Elder paused, then slowly read the characters on the sign aloud.

"Maple Leaf Square?"

"Well, this ‘toilet’ sure has a refined name. Our Xuantian Sect, with its thousand-year cultural heritage, really doesn’t disappoint!"

The Third Elder’s face turned red with anger. "You..."

"Pfft~" The Ninth Elder couldn’t hold back her laughter.

Qin Yu tried hard to suppress his laughter, recalling all the depressing moments from both his past and present lives. He finally managed to control his rising smile.

Just as he turned his head, he saw Li Zhengtong about to burst into laughter. Qin Yu swiftly pinched Li Zhengtong’s stomach, twisting it hard until Li Zhengtong’s face contorted in pain. Only then did Qin Yu let go.

The Ninth Elder said, "Sixth Brother, this is supposed to be a square, with maple trees. In autumn, the leaves turn red and are beautiful."

"Huh? Leaves? Where are the leaves?"

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

"The leaves don’t matter, what matters is the filth on the ground. It’s all the work of your Beast Master Peak's outer disciples!"

"Look at your Beast Master Peak’s disciples, they treat the entire Xuantian Sect as an open toilet, and the servant disciples as cleaners. If we complain a little, we get scolded or even beaten. They’re even more arrogant than the Sect Master!"

The Sixth Elder was greatly shocked.

"Our Beast Master Peak’s first rule is forbidding spirit beasts from defecating at will. These outer disciples usually behave well when they go to the inner sect classes!"

After looking at the mess, the Sixth Elder noticed that the filth was from spirit beasts that had consumed a special medicinal pill. This wasn’t just casual defecation; it was clearly intentional bullying!

The Sixth Elder was furious, never expecting that his disciples could be so malicious.

"Immediately have the outer disciples come to Maple Leaf Square. Now!"

He sent a soul message to the instructor teaching the disciples.

A short while later, the disciples of the Beast Master Peak rushed over, and upon seeing the three Elders, they immediately bowed in greeting.

"Disciple greets the Peak Master, and the two Elders!"

The Sixth Elder’s face was stern as he asked, "Do you know why I called you here?"

Kong Tianjiao's face was pale, and he weakly said, "Disciple is at fault!"

The rest of the disciples echoed, "Disciple is at fault!"

"The first rule of our Beast Master Peak is what?"

"Prohibiting spirit beasts from defecating at will!"

"And what are the consequences for breaking this rule?"

The disciples lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

The Sixth Elder calmly stated, "Those who break this rule severely will be expelled from the Beast Master Peak. Do you think your actions are severe?"

The disciples immediately knelt and begged, "Peak Master, we are sorry! Please give us another chance."

Qin Yu sighed.

"If this was done by one or a few individuals, they’d definitely be expelled directly from the Beast Master Peak," he thought. "But when everyone is involved, the punishment will definitely be lighter."

"However, while the death penalty can be avoided, the living punishment is unavoidable. I’m just not sure how strict the Sixth Elder is."

The Sixth Elder continued, "Your actions are very severe, but since you’ve performed well usually, I’ll give you another chance."

"Thank you, Peak Master!"

"You have one day to clean up the mess, and you will be confined in your cave for six months."

"Also, each of you will give fifty contribution points to compensate the servant disciples who cleaned the filth."

The Beast Master Peak disciples groaned in pain. They had just spent a lot of contribution points yesterday and didn’t have much left. Now they had to pay more.

They all looked at Kong Tianjiao with resentment.

"If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t be getting punished!"

The Sixth Elder asked, "How many of you cleaned this up?"

Qin Yu answered truthfully, "Elder, I know of six people, but there may be others who didn’t get close."

"Good, pay the 300 contribution points now!" The Sixth Elder said sternly.

Kong Tianjiao and the others gathered the contribution points, and finally, 300 contribution points were transferred to Qin Yu, who then distributed them to Li Zhengtong and the others.

The plaque at their cave also had the function of storing and spending contribution points.

It took a month of hard work for the servant disciples to earn just 10 contribution points, so 50 points was equivalent to five months’ worth of their earnings.

"Is this the benefit of my ‘Forged in the Fire’ talent?" Qin Yu thought, feeling a bit surprised.

【Forged in the Fire (A-level)】: Those who endure trials, difficulties, and life-threatening situations will gain equivalent rewards once they overcome the crisis.

This time, Qin Yu truly saw the terrifying power of the ‘Forged in the Fire’ + ‘Surviving Against All Odds’ combination.

He was reaping rewards even without trying.

Qin Yu also realized that the benefits weren’t just going to Li Zhengtong; everyone involved in the incident had a chance to gain something.

After the matter was settled, the Sixth Elder said sternly, "This is the first time I’ve caught you, and it’ll be the last. If it happens again, your cultivation will be abolished and you’ll be expelled from Xuantian Sect."

"We will never dare to do this again!"
