Chapter 885: Next time, we will punish you severely according to the sect rules!
"presumptuous!"
Ji Qingxu's angry roar was like thunder exploding in the sky, and the entire mountain trembled.
The spiritual energy in the air solidified instantly and turned into countless tiny ice crystals that fell to the ground.
Everyone felt their eardrums vibrating, and the disciples with weaker cultivation turned pale and staggered back several steps.
Ji Qingxu had a stern expression and his eyes were as fast as lightning, staring directly at Elder Bai and his grandson.
"Sect Master!" Elder Bai's face changed drastically, and the spiritual energy gathered around his body receded like a tide.
As he bowed, his hands in his sleeves were shaking slightly - the sect leader was really angry this time.
"Master, please understand!" Bai Luoying suddenly fell to the ground, tears streaming down her face like beads that had broken off the string, "I just want to keep these space stones for the sect, I don't have any selfish motives at all..."
She raised her tearful face and deliberately exposed her injured arm.
The spatial force lingering at the wound was still corroding the flesh and blood, which looked truly horrifying.
"Oh?" Ji Qingxu's slender fingers tapped lightly on the space tent, and each tap seemed to hit everyone's heart.
He walked slowly towards Bai Luoying, his black robe rustling in the spiritual wind, and with every step he took, frost condensed on the ground.
"This is my personal belongings gifted to Yin Yatou. When did I need you to 'keep' my personal belongings?"
These words were spoken very lightly, but made Bai Luoying feel as if she had fallen into an icy cave.
She was horrified to find that the hem of her skirt was freezing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the biting cold was spreading up her legs.
Elder Bai saw this and stepped forward without caring about etiquette: "Sect Master! Ying'er is only nineteen years old, young and ignorant, confused for a moment..."
"Haha, Elder Bai, your granddaughter is almost twenty years old, but she is still young and ignorant?" Lu Ziche suddenly interrupted and couldn't help but sneer.
He leaned against a tree with his arms folded, a sarcastic smile on his face, "My cousin knew not to take away what others like when she was seventeen. At your granddaughter's age, I'm afraid she has even forgotten how to write the word 'shame', right?"
As he spoke, he deliberately looked Bai Luoying up and down with a critical gaze, as if he was examining a piece of inferior merchandise.
The contempt and mockery in his eyes made Bai Luoying's face turn red and white.
"You!" Elder Bai shouted angrily, his hands in his sleeves turned into claws, and there was a faint green light flashing.
He glared at Lu Ziche, but did not dare to act rashly because of Ji Qingxu's warning look.
"What? Elder Bai wants to teach me a lesson in front of your sect's leader?" Lu Ziche was not afraid at all. Instead, he straightened his back.
"I just told you the truth, and you're so angry? When your granddaughter was trying to snatch the space stone just now, she didn't look young and ignorant at all."
After he finished speaking, Lu Ziche's gaze fell on Bai Luoying with a mocking smile on his face.
"Hey, Bai Luoying, you are so shameless! You dare to ask for everything, and now you are suffering!"
His words were full of disdain and sarcasm, as if he was mocking a clown.
His eyes were like a knife, stabbing straight at Bai Luoying, as if he wanted to completely tear her self-esteem apart.
"You——" Bai Luoying was so angry that her whole body trembled when she heard that.
At this time, Elder Bai's face also turned pale.
He hurriedly checked Bai Luoying's injuries, his eyes full of heartache.
Bai Luoying was so angry that she dug her carefully manicured nails into her palms.
She suddenly turned to Ji Qingxu and raised her voice: "Master! Look how badly she hurt me! How could such a cruel person...?"
"Shut up!" Ji Qingxu's eyes were stern. "Bai Luoying, the Space Stone is the personal property of this sect master. It is not your turn to say who it is given to."
Bai Luoying was suddenly struck by lightning, her whole body froze in place, with only her lips still trembling uncontrollably.
The area was already surrounded by disciples of Tianyan Sect.
A round-faced female disciple whispered: "Senior Sister Bai, this is too..."
Before he could finish his words, his sleeve was suddenly grabbed by his companion.
The companion glanced at Elder Bai nervously and made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Everyone knows that Elder Bai is very protective of his people. Even though he can’t do anything to Su Chenyin now, isn’t it easy for him to deal with ordinary disciples like them?
Ji Qingxu's gaze swept across everyone's faces, finally landing on Bai Luoying's bloody arm.
Then, he looked at Su Chenyin, who had a cold face, and sighed in his heart.
He waved his hand and said to Bai Luoying earnestly, "Bai Luoying, your actions are indeed inappropriate. These things were originally given to Yin Yatou by this sect master. Although Yin Yatou was a bit heavy-handed, she was also doing it to protect herself."
Bai Luoying widened her eyes in disbelief, unwilling to be blamed by Ji Qingxu like this.
She looked unwilling and said, "Master, I am the disciple of the sect, why do you always protect her?"
Ji Qingxu's eyes turned cold: "Bai Luoying, but you are always the one who made the mistake first? You have been provoking Yin girl one after another, isn't this the truth?"
“Bai Luoying,” Ji Qingxu said solemnly, “I gave these space stones to Chen Yin. You took them by force. According to the sect rules, your cultivation should be abolished and you should be expelled from the sect.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Luoying's face turned pale and he collapsed to the ground.
Ji Qingxu changed the subject: "However, considering that this is your first offense and your injuries are serious, after you return to the sect from the Ximen family, you will be punished to face the wall and reflect on your mistakes for three months."
He turned to Elder Bai, his eyes sharp as a sword, "As for Elder Bai, you have failed to teach Sun properly, and you will be fined half a year's salary. If you do it again, the Discipline Whip of the Law Enforcement Hall will not be for show."
Elder Bai bowed his head deeply, hiding the flash of resentment in his eyes: "This elder... accepts the punishment."
Bai Luoying was unwilling to give up. She struggled to get up, her voice distorted by jealousy: "Master! Why do you always protect her? I am the disciple trained by Tianyan Sect since childhood! What is Su Chenyin? She is just a..."
"Ying'er!" Elder Bai interrupted harshly, grabbing her arm, "Why don't you thank the Sect Master for his kindness!"
After being pulled by her grandfather, Bai Luoying finally regained some of her sanity.
She lowered her head and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Thank you... Sect Master for your mercy."
But from an angle where no one could see, a strange red light flashed in her eyes, and a hideous arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Ji Qingxu's face changed: "Bai Luoying, since you accept the punishment, you should reflect on your behavior."
"If it happens again, I will never let you off easily and will punish you severely according to the sect rules!" Ji Qingxu's tone suddenly became cold, with a sense of oppression.
Bai Luoying was so frightened when she heard Ji Qingxu's stern tone that her whole body trembled.
She originally wanted to make a few remarks in rebuttal, but when she saw the sect leader's oppressive look, she suddenly became like a deflated ball and could not utter a word.
In the Tianyan Sect, everyone knew what this tone meant. It was a sign that the Sect Master was going to be angry!
