Chapter 225: Nicknamed Ghosts’ Bane
After that, the three of them were like three guardian gods standing at the exit of the Training Grounds, making sure every single late disciple received their own ticket.

When Elder Sun strolled over to the Training Grounds, what he saw was a scene of intense, lively cultivation.

He let out a quiet “Huh.”

[Strange, these little brats are so hardworking today. Could it be they know Sect Master Wu Sang from the Greenwood Sect is visiting, so they are trying to look good?

Not bad, not bad, they actually look somewhat decent.]

Feeling quite pleased, Elder Sun’s smiling face grew even brighter when he saw the three of them.

“Elder Sun.”

Yu Zhao, Zhang Jun, and Xiu Luo bowed to him at the same time.

Elder Sun nodded with a chuckle. “What are you three doing standing here? Why are you not cultivating?”

“Elder Sun, did the Sect Master not tell you? We are members of the sect’s newly formed Enforcement Squad. We are in charge of checking and correcting violations of sect rules,” Yu Zhao stepped forward and explained.

Elder Sun froze for a moment, then suddenly understood. “I do remember the Sect Master mentioning that.”

Yesterday, Sect Master Ji Yuan had called all the Peak Masters and elders together for a long meeting.

The main topic had been the sect’s current plans and its long-term future development.

They had also mentioned the idea of forming an Enforcement Squad, but it had only been brought up briefly. Elder Sun had not paid much attention. He had not expected the squad to actually be on duty the very next day.

No wonder the disciples were acting like they had been injected with chicken blood. So it turned out someone was watching from the side.

He sighed in praise. “Not bad, not bad. With you here, we elders can save some effort. Keep it up.”

After encouraging the three of them a bit, he was about to walk into the Training Grounds to guide the disciples’ cultivation.

Yu Zhao calmly blocked his path. “Elder Sun, is it your turn on duty today?”

“Yes, it is,” Elder Sun answered without thinking.

Yu Zhao’s expression turned serious. “Elder Sun, according to the sect rules, the elder on duty must arrive at the Training Grounds before the morning bell rings. You are late.”

Elder Sun: !

Zhang Jun and Xiu Luo: !!

All the disciples listening in with their ears pricked up: !!!

Ignoring the stunned Elder Sun, Yu Zhao picked up her brush, ready to write a ticket. Elder Sun suddenly came back to his senses and quickly grabbed her hand.

“Wait, wait.” He stared at her with wide eyes. “Yu Zhao, isn’t your Enforcement Squad only supervising the disciples…”

“Who told you that?” Yu Zhao said sternly. “Our Enforcement Squad’s duty is to monitor all behavior that breaks the sect rules. Even if the Sect Master breaks the rules, we still punish him all the same.”

Zhang Jun and Xiu Luo, who had just been worried, both straightened their backs at once.

Zhang Jun especially felt that the characters on his chest were shining.

Seeing that Yu Zhao was not joking at all, Elder Sun completely panicked.

As a Nascent Soul Stage elder, he naturally did not fear Yu Zhao herself. But Yu Zhao had been personally appointed to the Enforcement Squad by the Sect Master.

And this time, the Sect Master clearly meant to fix the sect’s problems for real. During yesterday’s meeting, his expression had been more serious than ever before.

Elder Sun did not want to challenge the Sect Master’s authority.

He forced a smile. “Yu Zhao, can you bend the rules just a little this time? I really did not know your squad had already started working, otherwise…”

Under the accusing stares of the three, Elder Sun’s voice grew smaller and smaller. He also realized the problem in his own words.

Not knowing the Enforcement Squad had started had nothing to do with him being late.

With a helpless sigh, he gave in. “Fine. Whatever punishment you say, I will accept it.”

“Elder Sun, the Sect Master will be grateful to you.”

Yu Zhao spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s hum, then pulled out her brush and quickly wrote the ticket: “Elder Sun was late for morning practice. Punishment: supervise all disciples and may not leave until they finish their training.”

Elder Sun let out a breath of relief.

This punishment was nothing to him.

What he cared about more was the sentence Yu Zhao had just said.

[To trade one punishment for the Sect Master’s gratitude, besides losing some face, that was not a bad deal.]

When they saw Elder Sun take the ticket, all the disciples boiled over.

“Yu Zhao really wrote a ticket for Elder Sun. She is so bold!”

“She even dared to go against Master Qing Yan. Why would she be afraid of Elder Sun? Besides, this is the power the Sect Master gave her. Who would dare not listen?”

“Oh no, oh no, in the past I mocked her in front of her for Junior Sister Ye’s sake. Will she get revenge on me?”

“Are you stupid? As long as you do not break the rules, how could she make up a crime to frame you?”

“…”

Yu Zhao had achieved her goal.

By working together with Elder Sun, she sent an important message to all the disciples.

This time, the sect was truly determined to straighten its conduct. Even if an elder broke the rules, he would be treated the same as everyone else. There would be no mercy.

Because of that, the atmosphere in the Five Elements Dao Sect improved greatly in a very short time.

No one knew when, where, or in what way Yu Zhao and her two companions, who came and went like ghosts, would suddenly appear in front of them.

One disciple had even tried to avoid the Enforcement Squad by hiding deep in a remote mountain forest, but in the end he was still caught on the spot by Yu Zhao.

Because of this, Yu Zhao was given the nickname “Ghosts’ Bane.”

Zhang Jun and Xiu Luo were called Lackey No. 1 and Lackey No. 2.

Xiu Luo even argued with Zhang Jun over the ranking. She felt that she did more work and should be the one honored with the title of Lackey No. 1.

Zhang Jun refused to accept that. He listed many of his “righteousness over family” moments, where he punished his own friends for the rules, and only then barely managed to keep his seat as Lackey No. 1.

Just as Yu Zhao was shining in her position on the Enforcement Squad, Sect Master Wu Sang came to find her.

During his time as a guest at the Five Elements Dao Sect, Sect Master Wu Sang had not been idle.

After Yao Wu Jihanded the Longevity Fruit to Sect Master Ji Yuan, Sect Master Ji Yuan had given it directly to Sect Master Wu Sang and entrusted Cui Jue to his care.

The people from Lone Moon Peak had been very quiet recently, all cooperating with Sect Master Wu Sang to treat Cui Jue.

“The Longevity Fruit really can remove the poison from Cui Jue’s body. Most of his five senses have already recovered. After resting for a while longer, he will be back to normal.”

Yu Zhao just nodded lightly.

She clearly did not care about this.

Sect Master Wu Sang changed the subject. “The Longevity Fruit Yao Wu Jigave to Ji Yuan should have been given to her by you, right?”

Yu Zhao’s heart jumped, but her face stayed calm as she denied it: “No.”

“I saw it all.”
