When everyone heard this, they looked and saw Bai Jinyue walking in from outside the sect hall.

Jiang Jingmo raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. Could it be that she really guessed it right?

But Bai Jinyue really is a ghost that lingers around. It seems that no matter where she goes, Bai Jinyue will appear.

"Who are you?" The clan leader frowned, looking somewhat displeased.

"I am Bai Jinyue, a disciple of Lingyun Sect. I was rescued by the young master of your clan yesterday."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

The patriarch glanced at her lightly, then looked at his grandson.

Ke Ye was a little embarrassed at the moment, but he could only nod.

"Then I wonder why Miss Bai has come here now?"

The clan leader's expression didn't change, but his gaze towards Bai Jinyue became a little more fierce.

"It's like this, clan leader. I was attacked by a wild beast yesterday and was nearly killed. It was the young master who saved me. I just passed by the clan hall and heard that it seemed that the young master was negligent in saving me, which led to others entering the forbidden area."

Bai Jinyue looked up with a sincere gaze.

"I just heard that the young master will be punished for something. I am terrified and feel really bad, so I came here to explain the situation. I hope the clan leader will not impose a heavy punishment on the young master."

Bai Jinyue's words were sincere and the hall fell eerily quiet, with everyone looking at each other.

It’s not that I think what she said makes sense, I just find it inexplicable.

Especially the patriarch who was sitting in a high position, his expression became even uglier after hearing these words.

"Ah."

Ke Siwu was the first to sneer, which attracted Bai Jinyue's attention, and the system in her mind issued a sharp alarm.

"Warning! Dangerous creatures detected!"

"Warning! Mission target found!"

Bai Jinyue was startled. She looked carefully at the girl standing next to her and didn't find anything unusual about her.

However, the warning and mission target signals were sent out at the same time, which made her pay attention to the girl in front of her.

The mission target, are you talking about the Xuanyin Gu?

Before she could think about it, the patriarch tapped his cane again.

"My clan has its own rules and laws for matters concerning me. I must accept Ke Ye's punishment."

Bai Jinyue bit her lip when she heard that, and a pleading look appeared on her face again.

"Chief, the young master was negligent because of his good deeds. He has not made any serious mistakes now. I heard that he has not made any serious mistakes. His merits and demerits offset each other. Why can't he be exempted from this punishment?"

Jiang Jingmo was almost amused by Bai Jinyue's words. She knew that Bai Jinyue would definitely try to conquer Ke Ye, and she also guessed that she didn't want Ke Ye to be tortured, but her words really showed that she didn't see her own position clearly.

Matters within a family should naturally be resolved within the family. If she jumps out, not only will Ke Ye not be exempted from punishment, but she will also make others dislike her even more.

"It is not the place for outsiders to question our clan's affairs!"

The clan leader's patience had completely disappeared, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Bai Jinyue was icy cold.

"Miss Bai, whether Ke Ye saves you or not is his own selfish act, and the clan will certainly not care. However, the mistake Ke Ye made concerns our clan members, and we must not condone it. How can we talk about the offsetting of merits and demerits? Please don't make any irresponsible remarks."

Bai Jinyue opened her mouth and was about to explain something, but was interrupted ruthlessly by Ke Ye.

If Bai Jinyue continued to argue, it would seem as if he refused to accept the punishment.

Ke Ye walked to the center of the hall, saluted to the clan leader, then lowered his head and completely acknowledged the matter in front of everyone.

Then he raised his eyes, his face full of calmness.

"I know the seriousness of this matter. It was indeed because of my negligence that they mistakenly entered the forbidden area, so I am willing to accept the punishment today."

The clan leader lowered his eyes and looked at his grandson, his eyes showing a mixture of relief and heartache, while Ke Wu beside him also sighed softly, feeling a little reluctant.

They love Ke Ye more than anyone else, but clan rules are clan rules and they cannot be disobeyed. As long as Ke Ye escapes this punishment today, the same thing will happen tomorrow.

The authority of clan rules cannot be violated.

There was no extra expression on the clan leader's wrinkled face. At this moment, she was just the clan leader of the Guyin clan, not the grandmother of her relatives. She tapped twice lightly with her cane, and the floor under Ke Ye's feet suddenly cracked, revealing a big hole.

Ke Ye fell in, and the clan leader waved his hand, and light curtains appeared in various places in the clan, including the main hall.

This is also one of the clan rules. Whenever someone is subjected to insect torture, he must be displayed to everyone in the clan through a light curtain as a punishment.

This kind of criminal law had rarely appeared before.

Ke Ye is the first one in this decade.

Everyone in the hall looked up at the light curtain.

In the picture, the cave was full of poisonous insects, centipedes, scorpions, spiders, etc. The moment Ke Ye fell in, it was like a sheep entering a wolf's den, and he was swallowed up by the wave of poisonous insects in an instant.

Those poisonous insects bit his body and injected toxins into his body. Some poisonous insects kept drilling into his ears. The feeling of pain and discomfort was overwhelming, and even the disciples of the Jiuxiao Sect, who had always practiced very strictly, gasped.

"Will he really not die if he stays in there..."

Nan Xun looked at this scene and asked in a daze. Just seeing this scene was hard for him to accept.

"No, but I'm just leaving some breath."

Ke Siwu spoke calmly, she looked at the light screen, her eyes calm.

"These are just ordinary poisonous insects. The Ancient Yin Clan has been dealing with poisonous insects for generations. Everyone even has their own life-definition Gu. The toxins from these poisonous insects are not fatal to the Ancient Yin Clan."

"In that case, then this insect punishment..."

Nan Xun wanted to say something but stopped himself, because Ke Ye's expression on the light screen was so horrific due to pain, and his screams were so miserable that he couldn't help but frown slightly.

"The insect torture only makes him not die. These poisonous insects will eat his flesh and skin, and some will even drill into his body to eat his internal organs. With so many poisonous insects, by the time he comes out, he may only be left with a skeleton."

"...Can this survive?"

"Don't worry, the Ancient Yin Clan has a secret medicine that can revive the dead and turn flesh into bones. As long as he is still alive, he can be saved."

"What if he dies?"

"No, the clan leader will not let her grandson die."

Ke Siwu curled the corners of his lips, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.

Nan Xun looked at the girl whose face had turned cold. He scratched his head in confusion, not understanding why this girl seemed to be in a bad mood again.

Jiang Jingmo saw everything, his eyes were dark and unclear.

Bai Jinyue, who had been arguing loudly just now, looked at the light curtain and her face turned pale. She kept silent, fearing that she would anger the clan leader and be thrown into this nest of poisonous insects.

She shrank her neck and muttered to herself.

If a person does not serve himself, he will be destroyed by heaven and earth.
