Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 247 The Untamed 9

What the Lan family is most famous for now, apart from the so-called "Lan Family Twins" consisting of the brothers Lan Huan and Lan Zhan, is their extremely strict rules and etiquette.

It’s no wonder that the Lan family has complicated rules and etiquette, but their ancestors were monks themselves. Even the surname Lan is taken from “Jia Lan”.

The first few days were fine, but after the classes officially started, Jiang Xinxin couldn't stand it anymore.

There was no other reason. Lan Qiren's first class was about the origins and family mottos of the hundreds of immortal families, and then expanded to the relationships of in-laws and so on. These things were taught to the younger generations in each family subtly since childhood, and would never be systematically studied as a formal course.

Moreover, the Lan family is very particular about their work and rest schedule. It doesn't matter if you go to bed late, but the key is to get up at 5 a.m. in the morning. This is unacceptable to Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying. Almost every day, Jin Zixuan and Nie Huaisang have to come to their house to call them before they can get up.

Fortunately, her attitude in class was pretty good. She just dozed off. She was not like Wei Ying, Jin Zixuan and Nie Huaisang, who not only passed notes but also brought pets into the classroom.

Jiang Xinxin never thought of herself as a person who followed the rules, but after bringing the oriole into the classroom, she felt that the fact that Mr. Lan did not beat Nie Huaisang to death was entirely due to Mr. Lan's tolerance.

So on the first day of school, Wei Ying and Nie Huaisang happily read the Lan family rules a hundred times and were required to finish copying them within half a month.

Jiang Xinxin's face was tense but she could not hide her gloating: "Ah Xian, you have been a little slack recently. In the past, you knew what you could do and what you couldn't do. Why did you let Nie Huaisang bring that oriole in today?"

When Jin Zixuan passed by, he also tried to hold back his smile and pretended to comfort her: "It's okay, Xian. It's just reciting the house rules a hundred times. If you stay up at night, you will finish copying them quickly."

Wei Ying looked at the two gloating figures in front of him, and there was nothing he could do except to punch the air. However, he could not hold back his anger when he saw Nie Huaisang with a longing look on his face. He grabbed Nie Huaisang's neck, pulled Nie Huaisang's cheek and gritted his teeth:

"Good for you Nie Huaisang!"

"It's fine if you just play with the bird yourself, but you have to get me into trouble!"

Nie Huaisang begged for mercy with all his might but it was of no use. By the time Wei Ying's anger flared up, his chubby face, which still had some baby fat, was already covered with two pairs of very clear fingerprints.

The whole day passed, and Lan Huan and Lan Zhan didn't find any chance to talk to Jiang Xinxin and the others. However, Lan Zhan himself didn't notice that whenever Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying appeared, his eyes would always be on the three of them. Even in just a few days, whenever he saw Wei Ying, Jiang Xinxin or Jin Zixuan, he would follow them involuntarily.

But because there was no fight under the moon, Jiang Xinxin, Wei Ying, and even Jin Zixuan avoided a rigid person like Lan Zhan, which made Lan Zhan want to get close to them, but he was helpless.

When it comes to punishment, the Yunmeng Jiang family has always liked to use corporal punishment. The worst punishment is kneeling in the ancestral hall, and then various training and corporal punishment are added. The purpose of the elders is to ensure that the disciples do not delay their daily studies while being punished. This is completely different from the Lan family who punishes the disciples by making them copy the family rules right from the start.

Although Wei Ying had learned good handwriting, he had never thought of using it to copy the family rules as punishment. Fortunately, everyone had a lot of experience in daily punishment, so he first finished it for more than ten days openly, and only when the time was up did he howl for help from Jiang Xinxin and Jin Zixuan.

Jiang Xinxin would never pay attention to him. She turned her head and said casually, "You may have picked the wrong person. I didn't tell my sister about your fooling around in class. I'm already helping you. Don't be rude."

Wei Ying was indeed in the wrong in this matter, but the culprit was Nie Huaisang, and he couldn't do anything to Nie Huaisang. Seeing that Jiang Xinxin ignored him, he could only go to Jin Zixuan angrily.

Jin Zixuan helped him copy it fifty times for the sake of his brother-in-law, but that was all. Wei Ying was so angry that he grabbed Nie Huaisang's chubby face again, and after coming back, he still worked diligently.

However, although the Yunmeng Jiang Clan did not punish him to copy this section, Wei Ying's little brain had become more flexible under Jiang Xinxin's training. He actually spent three days and three nights to make a "homework machine"!

"Acheng, I showed it to you first!"

"Look at my pen!"

What Wei Ying showed to Jiang Xinxin was a jade pen with a simple-looking green jade penholder. The tip of the pen was not very common, as it was made of real wolf hair.

Jiang Xinxin held the pen in her hand. Without using her spiritual power to test it, she could tell that the pen was full of spiritual energy. Although there was no decoration on the pen barrel, there were actually many small magic arrays engraved on it. With a little thought, she understood what the pen was used for.

Jiang Xinxin praised sincerely, "Ah Xian, I didn't expect you to have such talent. If you are punished to copy the Lan family rules again in the future, you will definitely be able to handle it easily."

"But I think it's best if you don't tell anyone about this. Keep it a secret for as long as you can."

Jiang Xinxin only knew that Wei Ying and Lan Zhan had a good relationship, but in the original owner's memory, Lan Zhan was very principled and would not allow Wei Ying to violate the Lan family rules just because he liked Wei Ying, so Wei Ying's days in the Cloud Recesses were somewhat difficult.

Wei Ying was very dissatisfied with Jiang Xinxin's reaction, "Ah Cheng, what's wrong with you? Shouldn't you beg me to make one for you?"

"Eh~" Jiang Xinxin shushed, "Why didn't I realize before that you are so narcissistic?"

"I won't make any mistakes, why do I need a punishment weapon like this?"

Although he thought the name "Punishment Copying Divine Artifact" was good, Wei Ying was amused by Jiang Xinxin's words: "Stop bragging, Acheng."

"In this Cloud Recesses, even walking fast is forbidden. Don't I know what kind of brother you are? It's only the unlucky Nie Huaisang who implicated me, otherwise how could I be punished?!"

Jiang Xinxin didn't care. "Jin Zixuan, Nie Huaisang and I get along well, but why are you the only one who got dragged down by him? Haven't you thought about this carefully?"

"Ah Xian, could it be that you have just had bad luck recently?"

It stands to reason that since they are all cultivating immortals, some things are no longer superstition, but Wei Ying really lived the life of a young master in his life. The only person in his life who was strict with him was Yu Ziyuan, who was also strict with all the Jiang disciples. So the only different treatment he suffered was from Jiang Fengmian's favoritism. This resulted in him being less sensitive, and sometimes when it came to his closest relatives, he would show a kind of beauty of brain stem deficiency.

Jiang Xinxin made a random remark, but Wei Ying actually began to calculate carefully. It turned out that his fortune was really bad recently. There were no big problems, but there were a lot of small ones. He showed Jiang Xinxin a helpless look.
