Pei Yun returned to Taoxi Village with the Murong family. Murong Zhan invited all the elders of the family to the meeting hall to try Murong Yin.

In the meeting hall——

"Yin'er, what happened? Why are you kneeling here?"

Murong Yin's father Murong Zheng was also an elder of the Murong clan, but in order to keep the operation secret, he was not informed in advance.

Murong Zhan even sent people to monitor his movements because he was not sure whether Murong Zheng was also involved.

"Dad! Dad! You must save me, Dad..." Murong Yin knelt on the ground, his hands and feet tied up, unable to move, and asked Murong Zheng for help in panic.

"Husband! Husband, what's wrong with you? What happened?" Seeing this, Murong Yin's wife immediately rushed to his side.

Murong Ping behind her lowered her eyes, glanced at Murong Yin secretly, and quietly walked to an inconspicuous corner, without attracting anyone's attention.

No! It’s not that no one is paying attention!

Pei Yun looked at Murong Ping who walked in, a smile appearing at the corner of his lips.

Murong Ping looked up inadvertently and met Pei Yun's meaningful gaze. Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly lowered her head.

After the Murong clan's high-level officials and related personnel had all arrived, Murong Zhan, who was sitting in the middle, was about to stand up and speak, but Murong Zheng, who was standing beside him, could no longer hold back and suddenly stood up and asked:

"Chief, what do you mean by this? Why did you tie up my son? What did Yin'er do wrong?"

"Murong Zheng, don't you know what bad things your son did? Do you know who is kneeling next to him?"

Murong Zheng was stunned. He looked at Tang Wei who was kneeling beside him, then looked at his son, his face full of confusion.

"Murong Zheng, your son actually colluded with human traffickers and tried to harm Miss Pei. Your family has brought shame to our Murong clan..."

The elder who was one of the witnesses slammed the table and said unhappily.

"We have captured the trafficker's men, and they have all confessed that what this group of people usually do is to kidnap some low-level monks and transport them to Beiqizhou to be sold as slaves, and your son is one of the leaders of this group of people!"

"It seems that Lei'er was not tricked into the human traffickers' territory by your grandson. It was the human traffickers who followed your son's instructions and captured Lei'er and abducted him to Beiqizhou. This is the good son you, Murong Zheng, taught! You didn't even let a child go, and you still have the nerve to shout here!"

Murong Zheng was completely stunned. He retreated unsteadily to his seat and stared at Murong Yin in a daze. It was obvious that he had not expected that his son would do such a thing!

"Patriarch, is this true?"

"Clan leader, what happened? Why did you suddenly go to the territory of the human traffickers and happened to see the human traffickers colluding with Murong Yin?"

The elders present did not doubt the truthfulness of Murong Zhan's words, but were curious about how Murong Yin's crimes were suddenly exposed.

Pei Yun stood up upon seeing this, bowed to everyone, and began to explain the cause and effect of the matter: "Dear seniors, this is what happened..."

She concealed the fact that someone had sent her a letter, and only said that she was inexplicably chased outside Shengdan City, and then was abducted to Pingxiang Street. She had no choice but to send a message to the Murong family for help.

Murong Ping, standing in the corner, still kept her eyes downcast, only a strange glimmer flashed across her eyes, and her clasped hands in front of her tightened slightly.

"Murong Yin, do you have anything else to say?" Murong Zhan straightened his back and said in a dignified tone.

"Chief, fellow elders, I was wrong. I was bewildered for a moment. I beg you to forgive me this time. I will never do it again..."

Murong Yin no longer had the arrogance of the past. He kowtowed desperately, begging for mercy in a panic, his eyes full of panic, "Father, father! You must save me!"

Murong Zheng closed his eyes and no longer looked at Murong Yin in front of him. He just sat quietly in his seat without saying a word.

"I don't care about your Murong clan's affairs. You can do whatever you want with Murong Yin, but I am the leader of the Swift Wind Alliance. I advise you to release me immediately. Our Swift Wind Alliance has the support of the Northern Qizhou's Bihai Pavilion. Can you afford to offend them?"

Tang Wei was also unhappy to listen to the trivial family affairs of the Murong family. He forced himself to stand up straight and threatened in public.

"Oh! You said that your Gale Alliance is a sect under the Jade Sea Pavilion. How come I have never heard the disciples of the Jade Sea Pavilion say that..."

Pei Yun came in front of Tang Wei and looked at him with sarcasm in his eyes, "I am a disciple of Yunshan Sect, and I have come into contact with people from Bihai Pavilion many times. I never knew that Bihai Pavilion was actually engaged in the slave trade..."

"Pei Yun!" Tang Wei's bloodshot eyes were filled with hatred, and he wished he could pounce on her and kill her immediately.

"...Or are you deliberately holding up the banner of the Bi Hai Pavilion to make us afraid..."

To be honest, Pei Yun believed that the Gale Alliance was a small sect under the jurisdiction of the Blue Sea Pavilion, but she did not believe that the Blue Sea Pavilion would support them even though it knew that the Gale Alliance was selling slaves.

It's not that she overestimated the Bi Hai Pavilion, but if the Taoists knew about the slave trade, they would definitely despise it. As one of the top ten sects in Beiqizhou, the Bi Hai Pavilion would not agree to them doing such a thing just for the sake of the offerings below.

"...No matter if you have the support of a sect in Beiqizhou behind you, now that you are causing chaos in Nanyuezhou and selling slaves, my Murong clan must eliminate this harm for the people!"

Murong Zhan was decisive and ruthless. Before Tang Wei could react, he was killed by a single palm strike.

Murong Yin was shocked and looked at the dead Tang Wei beside him with fear, his whole body shaking uncontrollably.

"Now...how should we deal with Murong Yin?" Murong Zhan looked around and paused for a moment at Murong Zheng's face.

"They colluded with outsiders, harmed their own people, and did things that were immoral. They should be executed." An elder said.

"Everyone!" Murong Zheng suddenly opened his eyes, and stood up under Murong Yin's expectant gaze and everyone's condemning expressions, "...I didn't discipline my son well. I am willing to give up my status as an elder and be sentenced to ten years in prison in exchange for Murong Yin's life..."

"Dad!" Murong Yin knelt in front of him with tears streaming down her face, leaning against his legs and crying.

Murong Zheng slapped him hard, and said in a cold tone: "You have done such a cruel thing, don't recognize me as your father anymore, I don't have a son like you!"

Murong Zhan discussed with the elders present for a while, and finally agreed with his opinion, but -

"...You can spare Murong Yin's life, but his cultivation must be abolished, and then he must be expelled from my Murong clan..."

"I agree with the chief's decision."

"I agree."

"agree."

……

In this way, Murong Yin's fate was completely determined. After the meeting was over, everyone walked out of the conference hall.

Murong Ping seemed invisible from beginning to end. She didn't say a word. She waited silently at the back and followed the crowd out...

Murong Ping returned to her room, closed the door, and did not turn on the light. In the darkness, she slowly raised her drooping eyes, revealing a strange light. She gently raised the corners of her lips and revealed a smile...
