Face and the like are not important at all at this time.
The most important thing now is to survive!
It was not until this time that the head of the sect, Liu Wuhan, spoke up, "Yu Meng, you are the elder of the Punishment Hall. Let me ask you, Yu Cheng privately amassed wealth and damaged the harmony between the sects. He violated the sect rules. How should he be dealt with according to the rules?"
Yu Meng bowed his hands, lowered his eyes and replied in a deep voice, "To answer the Sect Master's words, according to the rules, you should be punished with thirty Spiritual Suppression Whips, and then expelled from the sect after the punishment is completed."
After thirty blows of the Soul-Suppressing Whip, one might not die, but his internal organs would definitely be damaged, and even his future cultivation would be affected.
If he is expelled from the sect again, he will lose his status as an inner disciple, and no force will accept him anymore.
Upon hearing that he would be subjected to such severe punishment, Yu Cheng panicked, "I was wrong, Master, Dad, please give me another chance!"
Yu Meng also choked up, "Master, various garden masters, elders. Cheng'er committed such a serious crime, and it was all his own fault. But as his father, I also failed to teach him strictly. I am willing to share half of the Spirit Suppression Whip with my son, and I am willing to hand over all my earnings in recent years as a token of forgiveness."
As he spoke, he placed his hands on the ground and his forehead touched the ground.
Master Cheng sneered and asked, "Elder Yu, as an elder of the Punishment Hall, you colluded with your son to amass wealth and brought shame to our Qingyue Sect. Aren't you guilty?"
This Garden Master Cheng is the Garden Master of Haiqing Garden, and the one who was exposed by Yu Cheng as having sex with his disciples at night.
Since her private affair was exposed like this, she naturally hated Yu Cheng, and also hated his father Yu Meng.
Yu Meng paused and said, "Yes, I know my crime and will allow the Sect Master to punish me."
He spoke calmly, with an air of resignation.
But he knew that he would be fine, and his son would not have to endure the thirty lashes.
Sect leader Liu Wuhan's expression changed.
If we talk about the person who is best at making money in the sect, Yu Meng is definitely one of them.
Not only within the sect, he also gained money outside the sect. Although the amount is unknown, it must be a huge sum of money.
And his words "all the income in recent years will be handed over" successfully moved Liu Wuhan's heart.
He knew very well that this was what Yu Meng meant by being willing to pay for his life and promising him huge profits in exchange for saving them.
On one side are the disciples of three small sects, and on the other side are the subordinates who are very capable and used to being used. Which one is more important?
"Considering that you have been in charge of the Punishment Hall for these years, even if you have no merit, you have worked hard. I will relieve you of the position of elder of the Punishment Hall and demote you to a deacon. In addition, you will be punished by the Ten Towns Spirit Whip." Liu Wuhan made a choice, "Have you thought about it? Do you want to take half of the whipping for your son?"
"yes."
Yu Meng knelt down and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Yu Meng is a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, while his son Yu Cheng is at the Foundation Establishment stage.
The Soul-Suppressing Whip cannot be resisted by cultivation, so no matter what your cultivation level is, it will be uncomfortable to be whipped a few times.
However, people with higher cultivation levels tend to be in stronger physical condition, and their tolerance is more or less stronger than that of people with lower cultivation levels.
Therefore, if he took ten lashes himself and then took fifteen lashes for his son, it would not cause any damage to his body. He would just have to spend more money to get some elixirs to repair the injuries afterwards.
With this money, plus the one he was going to give to the headmaster, more than half of all the hard-earned money he had accumulated over the years was gone in one go!
My heart was bleeding, but I thought that this was the best case scenario, and it was money spent to avoid disaster, so I felt a little relieved.
Yu Cheng's heart finally settled down. He reached out to wipe the sweat off his face and smiled as if he had survived a disaster.
That's great! He knew that his father would not ignore him!
But when he thought about the fact that his family had to pay money and suffer punishment, and even lost his position as an elder and was demoted to a deacon, he was filled with anger.
The elder of the Criminal Hall is the highest-ranking one, followed by the hall master, who has two deputies under him, who are called deacons.
In the past, even the hall master had to look at Daddy's face, but now it's the other way around. I don't know how much anger he has to endure!
And all this is because of the Xianlai Sect!
Yu Cheng glared at Chen Lan with gritted teeth, the viciousness in his eyes was hidden under his hatred.
"Are you three satisfied with our approach?" The head of the sect looked at Chen Lan and the other two. "The two of them will be punished with forty lashes together. Yu Cheng will be expelled from Qingyue Sect, and Yu Meng will be stripped of his position as an elder. In addition, our Xianlai Sect will also give you some compensation in the form of crystal stones and resources, and will also treat your injuries. Not only that, if you come to Qingyue Sect to study again in the future, all expenses will be waived. What do you think?"
Liu Wuhan's tone was smiling, and he spoke in a very kind and gentle manner, just like a very kind elder.
What do we think?
Even if we don't feel that way, what can we do?
Chen Lan had a cold expression and felt aggrieved.
If it were her, she would certainly not forgive him, let alone spare Yu Cheng——
She wanted Yu Cheng's life!
The whip was just some physical pain, not enough to make him remember it for the rest of his life.
As for being expelled from Qingyue Sect...even if he left, as long as his father was still in Qingyue Sect, he would be provided with food, clothing and other expenses. He would still be well taken care of and able to enjoy the resources he deserved!
And Yu Meng is even more ridiculous.
He was demoted to a deacon, but this was only temporary and was just a show for them to stop the people from gossiping.
As long as a few years pass and the matter is forgotten, Yu Meng will still be promoted to elder.
He was obviously a close confidant of the Sect Leader, and much of the wealth he had earned through the study of the wheel of fortune over the years went into the pockets of the Sect Leader and his men.
None of the people here are clean.
Chen Lan looked up. There were so many people present, and everyone was angry about what Cheng said in the photo stone.
But after the leader finished speaking, no one objected.
First of all, it's because they are all members of the Qingyue Sect, and they are insignificant outsiders. At this time, of course they have to unite and face the outside world.
Secondly, they had all benefited from Yu Meng and might continue to do so in the future, so they naturally would not kill them all.
If you say that you are not satisfied with the result at this time, you can't actually change anything.
I am of low status, so my words are not taken seriously.
"We feel very good about it."
The other two injured disciples both answered, and were even a little flattered and moved.
They didn't think so much about it, they just felt that Qingyue Sect's attitude had already been revealed. They were just disciples of a small sect, and their master and seniors were not here, so they lacked confidence and naturally did not dare to confront them head-on.
After they finished speaking, everyone's attention turned to Chen Lan.
"Chen Lan, what do you think?" Liu Wuhan asked.
