The Card Apprentice 509 The Punishmen

She continued with an indifferent look, "In the next parliament, Moon Frost Island will be the reference of the Tai-shu family, paving a way for them to be involved completely in the parliament. The family has the responsibility and strength, which qualifies for a seat in the parliament to advance the development of the Heavenly Drum Village District. I think other members will see my point as well."

Tai-shu Yong was ecstatic to the point that his voice trembled and it took awhile for him to calm down. He made a profound bow to Baiyue and solemnly said, "The whole of our family would not forget the great support of the principal. Under any circumstances, we will go through fire and water to execute your command!"

The meaning of Bai Yue's words was very clear. A parliamentary meeting would be launched for Tai-shu family to secure a seat. The parliamentary seat was completely different from that of a potential candidate. In other words, starting from this day onwards, Tai-shu family would receive a permanent parliamentary seat of Heavenly Drum Village District Alliance. Tai-shu Yong knew that he was roped in to this but the offer was so generous that he could not refuse it.

This meant that from today, Tai-shu family would be enjoying superiority status in the next few hundred years.

Until today, Tai-shu family finally became the first family in the Dongrui area! This was no more touching for him who always considered to restore the former glory of Tai-shu family, so he did not hesitate at all to join the alliance of Moon Frost Island.

Baiyue remained a cold facial expression. Her skin was very fair and possessed the similar complexion to that of a crystal, which made her look very attractive. However, as soon as anyone came across her cold eyes, all their desires were instantly extinguished as if ice cold water was poured onto them. She was like a fairy at the top of a snow peak, for given the fact that she was very beautiful, she emanated a cold aura that seemed to block people from thousands of miles away. This made her unreachable by many.

"Is the White Commander available?" she suddenly asked.

Tai-shu Yong quickly said, "Yes, he has been busy training card artisans these days."

Tai-shu Yong suddenly thought of a problem. Now that Tai-shu family had already gotten a seat, the White Commander was no longer required to participate in the competition. Tying up loose ends? Tai-shu Yong shuddered and immediately expelled this terrible idea from his mind. For other people, he could have done this, but for the White Commander...

That was a terrible fellow!

The Tai-shu family might not acknowledge the White Commander at all. Tai-shu Yong was clear that the White Commander had enough power currently to blow Tai-shu's place to hell. He was also convinced that if such a thing really happened, Moon Frost Island would never stand on his side. For Moon Frost Island, families like Tai-shu were everywhere, so it was not worth to offend a terrible rival like the White Commander for the Tai-shu family.

Moreover, Tai-shu Yong had self-awareness. He was very skeptical that the White Commander might be the key factor of Tai-shu family winning the favor of Moon Frost Island.

"Take me to visit him," said Baiyue.

Tai-shu Yong was taken aback. He promptly said, "Miss Baiyue, you're wayworn after a long trip, why don't you take a break?"

Sure enough, Miss Baiyue was actually coming for the White Commander. Being old and experienced, Tai-shu Yong immediately was aware of the key to the problem. This was not much different from his expectations, but the urgency expressed by Baiyue with her low profile attitude still surprised him.

Individuals from Moon Frost Island were always too arrogant and proud of themselves. This did not apply solely for Moon Frost Island, but the other five of the Great Six as well. And Baiyue was nothing short of an arrogant lady!

"No need," Baiyue shook his head.

Hearing that, Tai-shu Yong spoke no more nonsense and led the way in front of them.

The training camp was located at the southern end of Dongrui City. It was not the training camp of the Tai-shu family, but a large training base of the garrison of Dongrui City. Due to the excessive number of card artisans being recruited, Tai-shu family did not have such a large training camp to accommodate them, hence they had to use the garrison as a temporary measure. Recruitment in Dongrui City was well-known and Rong Ming knew that this was led by Chen Mu. Without any hesitation, he arranged a training base for the use of Tai-shu family.

How could the card artisans in the Heavenly Drum Village District not know of Baiyue? 

The battle between her and Twin Star of Desert Camp that year caused a great sensation in the Heavenly Federation. That battle was also the first live broadcast being done, and the far-reaching impact was beyond current imagination. It was also because of the battle that Baiyue officially ranked as one of the top card artisans in the Heavenly Federation. Furthermore, she became a dream lover of countless male card artisans ever since. Every detail of her battle was studied excessively.

In the Heavenly Drum Village District, many did not know who the principal of Frost Moon Island was, but no one would not recognise Baiyue! It was no exaggeration to say that she was the most well-known card artisan in the Heavenly Drum Village District!

Therefore, when Baiyue appeared in the training camp, it immediately turned chaotic.

"Look, it's Baiyue!" 

"Oh! God, my dream lover! How lovely is the God to me!" a card artisan was trapped in a state of uncontrollable balderdash. 

"Baiyue! Baiyue I love you!" Some bold and thick-skinned card artisans were shrieking. 

However, some of the attentive card artisans were thinking about the purpose of Baiyue's visit.

These card artisan's training time was still inadequate, hence a chaotic scene.

Chen Mu's face darkened and stared coldly at the situation in front of him without saying anything. By his side, Sang Hanshui had a bad feeling inside him. The coldness emanated from his boss set him off in fear and trepidation. He was well aware that the boss seldom had any tempers but when he was really triggered, it would be really awful! 

Before he even responded, Chen Mu had already flown into the sky.

Looking at the chaotic scene, there was only one comment in his heart, a raggle-taggle band! He was very skeptical that with such a group of rabble, the plan he had worked very hard on was like a ridiculous big joke.

His cold gaze, accompanied by his chilly voice that was not very loud, but was clearly audible throughout the training camp. "Those who left the team abruptly, interrupting the trainer, standing penalty for eight hours; those who screamed and harassed the military camp, twenty whips! To those who are dissatisfied, eviction!"

In an instant, all the noises disappeared, and the training camp was so quiet that even a needle falling on the ground could be heard.

Those card artisans who violated the disciplines were ashen-faced as they stood frozen in the same place, and those who screamed looked as pale as a ghost! 

Tai-shu Yong changed his countenance as his heart turned bitter. This was not a good way to meet each other indeed. He was already not able to deal with the anger of the White Commander, and now Baiyue was disgraced. Who was to blame but him?

Baiyue's facial expression remained cold. Her eyes which resembled ice crystals stared at Chen Mu unabashedly who was floating in midair.

Chen Mu was aware of Baiyue's stare but at this point he completely ignored it.

As if Baiyue did not exist, he cooly said to Sang Hanshui, "Close the power shield." Due to the open-aired training base of the garrison, the facilities were well-equipped, and there was a power shield specially designed to resist wind and snow.

Now the card artisans' faces down below became even more miserable, and many turned their eyes to Baiyue for help.

It was not known if Baiyue could not resist so many helpless eyes, so she finally opened her mouth, "White Commander, I came uninvited and disturbed everyone's training. How about noting it down this time, I believe they will not commit this again. "

When this was said, many card artisans profusely nodded, and mostly breathed a sigh of relief. Miss Baiyue pleaded for them and the White Commander would at least show some respect. Even if he could not exempt them from punishment, he could have lessened the impact.

Sang Hanshui who had just hesitated suddenly caught sight of Chen Mu's cold eyes. As cold sweat dripped down profusely, he dashed towards the control room of the training room.

"Miss Baiyue, please forgive me, the military is ruthless!"

The indifferent and chilly words lingered over the camp from above the sky.

When this was said the card artisans below were all dumbfounded!

Has the White Commander gone insane? He wouldn't even show some respect to Miss Baiyue?

They looked into Chen Mu's eyes, it was as if they were looking at a monster. Baiyue was in presence! The spokeswoman of the Moon Frost Island, one of the most outstanding card artisans in the younger generation of the Heavenly Drum Village District, and the super privileged fairy all in one! In front of everyone, the White Commander humiliated her unceremoniously!

The air suddenly became tense.

No one believed that Baiyue could just let this go! There would surely be a fierce conflict, Baiyue VS White Commander. This kind of battle once again made the card artisans' blood racing.

However, the power shield at the top of their heads suddenly disappeared, and the icy wind gushed in from outside. The blood that had just been boiling suddenly fell to its freezing point. The faces of card artisans brimming with excitement just now had all become pale!

Unexpectedly, Baiyue did not speak anymore but remained silent.

No one could guess what this snow goddess was thinking.

The so-called standing punishment meant being shirtless, meter removed, and to stand still in the snow

80% of the card artisans who received the punishment was frozen into purple blue faces and trembled involuntarily. Sang Hanshui led the card artisans with grade seven perception, pacing back and forth. If anyone had any small movements, they would immediately get whipped. Those card artisans who screamed had been bruised and lacerated from flogging and they were still required to undergo the standing punishment.

The 20% card artisans were sitting in a warm room, a fragrant coffee brewed in front of them. Through the floor-to-ceiling glass, they could clearly see the others receiving the punishment in the snow. Everyone here felt lucky, but they did not touch the coffee at all. Who would have any appetite in this scenario?

As time went by, some artisans could no longer take it. After all, they were not good when it came to physical endurance.

The frost marks of whips which emerged on the upper body of the card artisans was a ghastly sight.

Pong, a card artisan fell to the ground and lost consciousness. A medical card artisan who was already in stand-by mode flew over and carried him to the side for treatment.

"So weak. Only one hour and 15 minutes! There are six hours and forty-five minutes remaining. Note it down," said Sang Hanshui cooly. The card artisan by his side quickly did his record.

Those who still remained conscious were stunned.

After 20 minutes of treatment, the fainted card artisans regained his consciousness. After injecting nutrients and ensuring that he would not die, the medical card artisan nodded to Sang Hanshui.

Sang Hanshui strode over and brought the card artisan to the field like carrying a chicken, and said coldly, "Go on, you still have six hours and 45 minutes!" 

There were people who constantly fainted and being taken down for medical treatment. Everyone understood at this time why the White Commander had recruited so many medical card artisans. They looked at Chen Mu's eyes and were filled with fear!

This was where they were wrong about Chen Mu. The reason why Chen Mu recruited so many medical card artisans was he had planned to promote the Snow Pit Method after some time. The Snow Pit Method could easily lead to frostbite, but he did not expect to use the medical card artisans in this situation first.

However, what Chen Mu did not expect was no one had withdrawned themselves. He thought that such a cruel punishment would lead to people leaving just because they could not bear with it. But until now, no one had proposed to withdraw.

These card artisans were recruited after numerous selections from countless card artisans, and their personal strengths were outstanding. Card artisans who were out of the Great Six and wanted to achieve such strength should work harder and experience more strength. After such training, albeit in terms of age, they were older than the card artisans from the Great Six, but they would never have the arrogance and ignorance of the latter. 

They may be more unctuous, but they were not lacking in small wisdom. Such a high threshold, such strict disciplines, plus a leader who was praised by Lord Rossiji, all of this accumulated together to form a team of strong combat power and a bright future!

After knowing the meaning behind this, nobody would withdraw at this time.

They all climbed their way up from the bottom, step by step to the point where they were now, and so they were not the delicate and tender greenhouse flowers. Although the penalty was cruel, but in their eyes, card artisans were originally intended to fight with their lives!

Gritting teeth and persist until the stage of coma. After being comatose, wake up and continue to be punished! Then go into coma…

Medical card artisans were too busy. Their eyes occasionally swept to Chen Mu, as they all jumped in shock! In their eyes, Chen Mu had long been a ruthless and great demon from Hell!

Chen Mu looked at everything that was happening below. His posture doesn't seem to have changed at all. However the eyes under the mask suddenly had an extra touch of faith.
