The real big guys are those with connections in the eyes of the system!

Elder Luo lowered his eyes and did not make any excuses for himself. "I did handle this matter improperly and failed to live up to the reputation of law enforcement fairness. I ask to be punished with twenty lashes. Please grant it, Great Elder."

"allow."

"Then I too..."

"You get thirty lashes."

Elder Chen was stunned.

Clearly, they were both involved in the incident, so he didn't understand why they received different punishments.

"Are you dissatisfied?"

"Don't dare."

It’s not that we don’t dare, but that we don’t have the courage.

The Great Elder naturally saw through his little thoughts.

It seemed that he had not realized his problem until then, so the ten extra lashes were not unfair to him.

"Why are the two elders being punished? Could it be that the results of the self-examination are out, and the second elder sister did not harm her fellow disciples?" The seventh elder was a little stunned, "This is really just a misunderstanding..."

Ever since Chi Siyu fainted, Lao Qi has been guarding her side, so naturally he has no idea what is happening outside.

But the elders did not deliberately conceal the conversation. Although he was confused by what he heard, he roughly guessed something.

"Why pretend to be so surprised when someone is deliberately making false accusations?" The Great Elder sneered.

Lao Qi explained repeatedly, "We didn't deliberately frame Second Senior Sister. There must be a misunderstanding here."

"I'm not interested in your excuses." The Great Elder's eyes were cold, as if he would not believe anything the elder said.

At this moment, Lao Qi suddenly understood what it meant to be unable to defend himself.

He suddenly remembered that Second Senior Sister had also defended him before, but no one believed her.

Did she feel as aggrieved as I did at that time?

Fortunately, she later firmly chose to consult her conscience, and now she has been cleared of all charges.

"But the little junior sister is in a coma now. If it weren't for the second senior sister, who would be so cruel to her?" The fourth elder said in a low voice, with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.

"How did Qi Rang offend you? You want to blame her for everything she has!" Elder Luo finally couldn't hold it in any longer. "You guys have caused her to only have 20% of her cultivation left. Do you really want to kill her?"

"What?" Old Seven looked shocked.

The fourth brother was also stunned for a moment, but soon he pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "It seems that something happened to Wenxin, and she clearly deserved it!"

The elder's gaze shot over like a sharp arrow, "You kneel down too."

The fourth child is not as obedient as the seventh child.

He didn't kneel. "I am the victim. My legs were bitten by her dog. Can't I even say a few words now?"

The Great Elder ignored him, but turned his head and looked at Elders Chen and Luo calmly, asking, "How should we deal with someone who falsely accuses a fellow disciple according to the sect's rules?"

"Deduct half of your training resources for two years, and then whip ten more times."

The fourth elder's eyes widened instantly, "I don't accept it, you are simply favoring the second senior sister!"

"What if you disrespect your teachers and refuse to obey discipline?"

"Seal your cultivation and do hard labor for ten years."

The fourth brother wanted to speak, but the seventh brother on the side whispered "offense" and immediately covered his mouth.

If one is stubborn and refuses to accept punishment, the crime will be more serious and the punishment will be extended.

The Great Elder didn't care whether they obeyed or not, as long as they didn't make trouble in front of him.

Then, he turned his attention to Chen and Luo, "Although you failed to fulfill your duties today, considering that you have been enforcing the law for the sect for many years, no other punishment will be imposed on you except for the flogging. You are still responsible for enforcing the law, and these disciples can be dealt with according to the sect rules."

"You guys shouldn't be unable to handle this small matter, right?" There was a hint of mockery in his voice when he said this.

Elder Luo immediately agreed, "This is our duty, and we will definitely live up to your trust."

Elder Chen bowed together, then turned his gaze to Chi Siyu, and said hesitantly, "Then how should we deal with her?"

Except for the fourth disciple who had to do an additional ten years of hard labor, the other disciples involved had their resources reduced and were given ten lashes.

Logically speaking, Chi Siyu is also guilty of the same crime and should be punished.

But she is now under a spell and it is questionable whether she can wake up. How can she be punished?

But if there is no punishment, who knows if the Great Elder will be dissatisfied with it?

As I said, I just made a mistake. It is better to be more careful and be called stupid a few times rather than be caught by others. Otherwise, it is unknown whether I can continue to serve as the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall.

"What kind of talisman did she get hit by?" The Great Elder disdained to get close to Chi Siyu and directly asked Elder Chen who had just investigated for her.

Elder Chen lowered his eyes, "It's a nightmare."

The expression on the Great Elder's face became even colder. "Isn't it forbidden to use such a sinister spell in the sect?"

"I do not know either."

"Investigate this matter thoroughly! As for her..."

He glanced at Chi Siyu, then quickly looked away, "If you can wake up, we will continue to deal with you according to the sect rules and punish you accordingly.

If she can't wake up, that's her fate."

What a cold and mean thing to say.

But even those in power are willing to pay more attention to people of value, but they don’t care about the life or death of mediocre and ordinary people.

Now he was willing to protect Yiqing only for the sake of the sword bone and the false title of "the new generation's number one in swordsmanship". He also wanted to win her over with the idea that her cultivation could be restored.

But once he was sure that the side effects of Questioning the Heart were irreversible, and the former number one in kendo had fallen, he would no longer pay much attention to her.

The saddest thing is that the two elders Chen and Luo did not have any objection to the decision of the great elder.

The calm look on their faces seemed to say "this is how it should be".

Only the Seventh Elder could no longer care about covering the Fourth Elder's mouth. He knelt down and took two steps forward. "I am willing to take the punishment for my Junior Sister. I only ask the elders to find a way to save her life. She is still so young. Her life has just begun. It shouldn't end so soon."

When he heard the Great Elder asking about the sect rules, he knew what kind of punishment he would receive.

At that time, he did not plead for himself.

But now he thought that Chi Siyu was banging his head so hard that it made a loud noise.

The fourth elder looked at it, gritted his teeth and knelt down, but he did not kowtow, "I beg the elders to save my little sister's life."

“It’s not that we don’t want to help, it’s that you have to rely on yourself to solve your nightmare. No one else can help you.” The Great Elder said, “Besides, cultivating the Tao is difficult. Those who are not strong enough are destined to not go too far.” If she can’t become the strongest, what difference does it make whether she lives longer or less?

He was concerned about his identity and did not say the rest of the sentence.

The seventh brother was still begging them to think of another solution, but the fourth brother had already heard what he had not yet finished.

He stopped begging and said in a deep voice, "Elder, please give us one more day. Once we have settled our junior sister, we will go to the Law Enforcement Hall to receive our punishment."

He lowered his eyes, suppressing the depression in his eyes.

It's just one day, so of course there's no need to waste this little time.

The Great Elder: "Yes."

……

After they left, the Seventh Brother looked at the Fourth Brother helplessly: "Fourth Brother, what should we do? The elders are unwilling to save our little sister, will she die..."

His voice was almost choked.

The fourth brother wanted to say, "Maybe, after all, everyone has their own destiny", but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly felt dizzy and shook his head.

When he spoke again, all Old Seven heard was, "No, I won't let anything happen to her."

As he spoke, he took out a thin rope that glowed with golden light.

The Seventh Senior recognized it at a glance, "Soul Binding Rope! This is an extremely rare, top-grade spiritual weapon. How did you get this thing, Fourth Senior Brother?"

The fourth brother said calmly, "It's a family heirloom."

He lowered his eyes and was about to tie the golden rope around Chi Siyu's wrist, but halfway through the action, he hesitated again.

This is something he kept to save his life. He hid it very well before and no one knew about it. Does he really want to give it to others now?

After using it, what should I do if I encounter danger in the future?

"Fourth Brother, what are you hesitating about?"

When Lao Qi saw that he stopped, he stepped forward decisively to help him tie the knot, and then pinched a seal on it.

Since it wasn't his own thing, of course he had no regrets about parting with it.

When the golden light became brighter and then disappeared into the snow-white skin, the fourth brother felt a strong sense of regret and began to feel irritated.

He stared at the place where the golden thread disappeared, his eyes were somewhat scary, as if he was ready to snatch the thing back at any time.

At this moment, Chi Siyu uttered, "Don't..."

The negative emotions in the fourth brother's heart disappeared in an instant, and his eyes also became dull for a moment. There was only one thought left in his mind - the little junior sister is not someone else, for her sake, what does it matter if he loses a top-grade spiritual weapon?
