Lin Fan didn’t take Mei Qiongi with him but left the latter behind. Overall, this first experiment could be considered a success, though the long-term effects still needed observation.
After all, Mei Qiongi was still a ferocious and arrogant individual. It would be best to wait until he was fully tamed before bringing him out at the appropriate time.
“Since you want to reform yourself, behave yourself,” Lin Fan said calmly, pointing at Mei Qiongi before leaving.
“Yes,” Mei Qiongi replied obediently, nodding respectfully without daring to act out.
After Lin Fan left, Elder Cui and others stared in astonishment. They simply couldn’t understand what had happened—why would the vicious Mei Qiongi behave so submissively in front of Lin Fan?
…
After leaving the Punishment Hall, Lin Fan was secretly delighted. In his opinion, the “Tamer” skill was indeed incredibly powerful.
However, Lin Fan thought the taming techniques were somewhat brutal. For people like Zhang Erdog, who were naturally obedient, such harsh methods weren’t necessary. A single word or a glance from Lin Fan was enough to make them understand his meaning.
Mei Qiongi’s transformation quickly spread throughout the sect.
All the disciples learned that Lin Shushu had visited the Punishment Hall and met the vicious, unrepentant Mei Qiongi.
The outcome surprised everyone—Mei Qiongi had actually submitted under Lin Fan’s guidance, acknowledging his mistakes. It was simply unbelievable.
In the Sect Leader’s Hall,
Elder Cui reported everything he had seen and heard in the Punishment Hall truthfully.
“Leader, Mei Qiongi has indeed changed. I saw it with my own eyes,” Elder Cui said solemnly.
Yan Sect Leader’s expression slightly shifted, though he still found it hard to believe. He had invested a lot in Mei Qiongi, once believing that the sect would flourish under him. But Mei Qiongi had deeply disappointed him.
“I shall go see for myself,” Sect Leader Yan said, still skeptical. Perhaps only seeing it with his own eyes would convince him.
Inside the Punishment Hall, Mei Qiongi was still locked in a cell. Compared to before, however, he had grown much quieter—no longer shouting or spewing curses.
He appeared as if he had truly changed.
In the dim Punishment Hall, ripples faintly shimmered in the air, and two figures emerged from the void.
They were Sect Leader Yan and Elder Cui.
Though Mei Qiongi had once been a favored disciple, Yan still cared deeply. Even after his fall from grace, Yan had hoped he would return to the right path.
Hearing Elder Cui’s account, Yan remained doubtful. No matter what, he had to see it himself.
Inside the Punishment Hall, Mei Qiongi remained chained to an iron pillar. Upon seeing the figure bound there, Yan’s expression subtly shifted—his heart ached.
Mei Qiongi, once a prodigy, had been Yan’s personal disciple, raised and trained with great care. Seeing him like this stirred emotions within Yan.
Now locked to the pillar, Mei Qiongi slowly raised his head. His once-calm eyes flashed with ferocity, and a low, savage growl rumbled from his throat like a beast.
“Kill…”
Sect Leader Yan sighed softly, his expression growing somber.
“Disciple…” Elder Cui said in confusion. This wasn’t the same Mei Qiongi he had seen earlier.
“I will crush you all one by one…” Mei Qiongi roared, his iron chains rattling violently as his savage gaze seemed ready to devour them.
“Enough… enough…” Yan Sect Leader waved his hand, the last glimmer of hope vanishing in an instant.
“Leader, this is not how it was before. Wait until Lin Shidi comes, and you will understand,” Elder Cui quickly interjected.
Though Mei Qiongi was indeed vicious, Elder Cui had witnessed his change with his own eyes earlier. Why was he like this now?
“Fine. When Lin Fan comes again, inform me,” Yan said softly, still unconvinced of Mei Qiongi’s transformation.
“Yes,” Elder Cui nodded. For now, all they could do was wait for Lin Fan.
…
Over the next few days,
Lin Fan frequently visited the Punishment Hall. In his eyes, the “Tamer” profession was truly formidable.
However, he wouldn’t use it recklessly without fully understanding the situation.
As for Mei Qiongi, Lin Fan grew increasingly confident. Mei Qiongi had practically been completely tamed.
He had also tested the skill on several other disciples who had committed offenses, and the results were exactly as expected—remarkably effective.
However, Lin Fan had no interest in those other disciples.
“Stand straight!” Lin Fan commanded.
Mei Qiongi, filled with fear, immediately straightened his posture, not daring to act out in front of Lin Fan.
Seeing this, Lin Fan was secretly pleased. It seemed Mei Qiongi had indeed been fully tamed.
However, Lin Fan was troubled—how should he go about taking Mei Qiongi out?
After all, killing fellow disciples was a grave crime. He didn’t know whether the Sect Leader would approve.
In a secret chamber, two figures remained hidden in the void.
“This is impossible…” Sect Leader Yan couldn’t believe his eyes. Was this the same disciple who had cursed him before? Why was he so obedient before Lin Fan? It was like night and day.
“Leader, you’ve seen it yourself now. Mei Qiongi is truly obedient in front of Lin Shidi. I wonder what method he used,” Elder Cui said in astonishment.
They couldn’t understand it. They had no idea what Lin Fan had done.
After observing for a while, Yan Sect Leader finally revealed himself.
At the moment the two revealed their presence, Lin Fan’s expression subtly changed.
“Leader…” Lin Fan had been wondering what to do next when, unexpectedly, the Sect Leader appeared.
Sect Leader Yan sighed, then turned to look at Mei Qiongi. Mei Qiongi, who had been calm before, suddenly glared with a fierce hatred.
“Hmph,” Lin Fan noticed Mei Qiongi’s gaze and let out a disapproving cold snort.
The sound struck Mei Qiongi like an explosion, instantly making him shrink back in fear.
Sect Leader Yan witnessed all of this and felt somewhat awkward. He hadn’t expected Mei Qiongi to hate him so much, yet Lin Fan’s single cold snort had instantly subdued him. Truly, what a failure in life.
“Leader, Mei Qiongi has now realized his mistake. I believe he deserves a second chance,” Lin Fan said.
Sect Leader Yan looked at Lin Fan, then at Mei Qiongi. A thousand thoughts swirled in his mind—sadness, regret.
Suddenly, he felt like a failure as a sect leader. As the grand leader of the sect, he couldn’t even reform a single disciple. Sigh…
“Alright…”
