A few months later
Meigui pov.
After months of anticipation, we finally arrived in Gusu. Despite the lengthy journey, it proved to be a welcome change from the chaos of home and my eccentric mother.
We walked through Gusu calmly and enjoyed the scenery since we were a day early, when I returned home a few months back, Mother immediately punished me and locked me in the freezing dungeons for our Sect.
She of course beat me and said harsh words for two days before leaving me there, when father found out, he was furious at mother and locked her in her room till I fully recovered with only a bowl of rice each day.
"This sucks! you are the only one allowed to study with the male Cultivators with Long Pingdan! We got to study with those weak females-".
"Watch your mouth Xinga, your insulting all-female Cultivators including me!". I warned, she covered her mouth.
"Forgive me, Shijie!". She apologized, Li sighed.
"You better not let it slip again while we're here, Gusu Lan Sect are very strict Cultivators, they have over 3,000 rules that we have to familiarize ourselves with". Li said.
"I already know them, don't know about you guys". I said, they looked at me with shock.
"Y-You know all 3,000 rules!?". Xinga asked in shock.
"Yes, Long Pingdan knows only half which are the most important, what have you girls been doing with Mother for the last few months?". I asked calmly.
"We've been studying-".
"Name ten of their Sect rules". I said, they stammered, I sighed.
"Long Pingdan, recited ten of the Cloud Recesses rules". I said, he was a little embarrassed to be called out and put into the spotlight but bowed before reciting.
"Alcohol is prohibited
Talking behind other people's backs is prohibited
Running is prohibited
Killing livestock within the area is prohibited.
Fighting without permission is prohibited
Promiscuity is prohibited
Disturbing female cultivators is prohibited
Venturing out at night is prohibited
Causing noise is prohibited
Sneering for no reason is prohibited". He listed without messing up, I did a nod.
"Very good, Long Pingdan". I said.
"Those are simple rules that he listed! It's not fair!". Li argued, he flinched at her tone.
"Rules are rules, Li, don't throw a temper out in public because of it!". I said firmly, she humphed.
"I wasn't...".
"You better control yourself while we're here, I won't tolerate your behavior if you act out, it's goes to all three of you". I warned calmly.
"Yes, Shijie/ Jiejie". They said, that when we were close to the Cloud Recesses I gave them their Jade Passes so they could enter or leave, I warned them to not lose it or else they would be in big trouble.
We gained entry without issue and were shown to our rooms. Although I will be studying with the Male Cultivators at my father's request, who is greatly esteemed by Lan Qiren, and because I must oversee Long Pingdan for reasons known only to my father, myself, and Lan Qiren, I wished to stay closer to my younger sisters to monitor them more effectively
