I knew I was in the wrong but couldn't find a female slayer to serve as a witness.
Lin Jichen could only suffer the loss of being dumb alone.
In order not to embarrass his master, he had no choice but to take the initiative and said: "Master, I know I made a mistake, please punish me."
Leng Feiyan also knew that no matter what, he couldn't protect him in public. As the leader, he must make clear rewards and punishments, especially in front of the entire sect.
She said with a straight face: "Since you admit it, then don't blame me for punishing you."
After saying that, she stood up and announced her judgment on Lin Jichen in public: "In view of the seriousness of this matter, I should have expelled you from the master's school. However, since you are the first offender and you have taken the initiative to admit your mistake, I will punish you by leaving the Shanggong Hall."
As for the position of elder, Nangong Yue will be temporarily appointed as the elder. He will also be fined with a salary of two years and imprisoned in Jingsi Cliff for half a year to face his mistakes and reflect on his mistakes as a warning to others. Do you have any objections?"
Lin Jichen's expression turned bitter. Damn it, this punishment is too harsh...
Not to mention that he was fired not long after he became an elder, but his salary didn't matter.
The most important thing is to be detained for half a year.
This made Lin Jichen complain incessantly. If he was put in confinement for half a year, wouldn't he go crazy?
But this is already an act of mercy from the master. If it were other disciples, they would have been fine if they had not been locked up for two years, and they would have even been expelled from the master.
In desperation, Lin Jichen could only accept his fate: "Disciple, I obey."
Leng Feiyan nodded and then said to the Yuwen clan members: "As for the scoundrels who injured your Yuwen Guards, our Sword Sect will pay full compensation. Are you satisfied with this?"
Although Prime Minister Yu Wen felt that this punishment was a bit low, after all, he was Leng Feiyan's apprentice and he could not go too far.
It's already good to have Lin Jichen lose his job and be put in confinement for half a year, and they are willing to compensate for the losses, so what else can be said.
The Prime Minister immediately held up his hands with a smile and said: "Master Leng has clear rewards and punishments. I admire you. We are willing to accept it and are very satisfied. In this case, we will leave first."
Leng Feiyan changed the subject and said, "Wait."
The Prime Minister turned around and asked, "Is there anything else, Master Leng?"
Leng Feiyan said calmly: "My disciple's matter has been settled, so how do you deal with the matter of your prince raising ghost pets and having a corrupt behavior?"
The Prime Minister was stunned and said awkwardly: "This... our Emperor will punish him well..."
Leng Feiyan sneered and said: "How to punish him? Tell us the rules and let the monks all over the world see how Emperor Yuwen divides rewards and punishments. And this matter must be announced to the world in order to be convincing."
The prime minister was shocked, his face full of embarrassment. If he dealt with Yuwen Tuo publicly, wouldn't it mean that Yuwen Tuo's scandal would be made public? Wouldn't everyone in the world laugh at the Yuwen clan?
"This...this...isn't appropriate..." the prime minister hesitated.
Leng Feiyan did not give him a chance to object, and said directly: "My disciple made a mistake first, and our Sword Sect admits it, but your prince has a bad conduct and raises ghost pets, which has brought shame on your Yuwen clan.
It has also disgraced all the righteous monks in the world and is equally unforgivable."
"You go back and tell your majesty that within two days, I will see him announce the results to the world. Otherwise, your majesty will be seeking favoritism and hiding rewards and punishments. By then, I don't mind going to Yuwen Imperial City in person.
Let’s ‘discuss’ this matter with your Majesty.”
The prime minister's hind legs felt weak after hearing this. He could only bite the bullet and promised: "Okay, okay, I will tell you the truth when I get back. I believe that within two days, there will be a result. It will be certain."
The Prime Minister suddenly began to regret at this time. He thought that by standing on the banner of morality, he could vent his anger on the royal family and teach Lin Jichen a lesson to avenge him that day.
I didn't expect that they would be made public now. Isn't this tantamount to public execution...
Once this kind of embarrassing thing is made public, the Yuwen clan will become the laughing stock of the world.
But if you don't do it, Leng Feiyan will go crazy...
Prime Minister Yu Wen is about to cry at this moment. If he had known this, he might as well not have come. How will he explain to His Majesty when he goes back now~
Although the other princes have seen the ending, they still shrink their necks and dare not refute even a word.
"Very good, let's see the guests off." Leng Feiyan saw that he agreed and drove them away.
The Yuwen clan came angrily and left dejectedly.
After they left, the Jianzong disciples did not disperse.
Because the trial of Lin Jichen is only secondary, the most important thing today is the trial of another disciple, which is the top priority.
"Junior Brother Lin, come on, follow me to Jingsi Cliff." Zhang Chaohai came over at this time to take Lin Jichen away.
Lin Jichen, however, had roots in his feet and remained motionless, saying, "Senior brother, can I go later? I want to see senior brother."
Zhang Chaohai hesitated for a moment, but seeing that Leng Feiyan did not urge him, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
After all, today will be the final trial of Chu Tianhan, and it will probably be the last time they see Chu Tianhan.
"Bring disciple Chu Tianhan here!"
As soon as Nangong Wu opened his mouth, Chu Tianhan, who was in a state of embarrassment, had his hands tied and was pushed to the center of the square.
At this time, Chu Tianhan had long lost the handsome, refreshing, and proud look of the past. On the contrary, he now had a shaggy beard, sloppy hair, deep bags under his eyes, and was dejected. When he walked up, his eyes were unfocused, as if he had lost his soul.
One side of Chu Tianhan's face was still swollen, with a slap mark clearly left on it. The corner of his mouth was also broken, and the remaining bloody scab was clearly visible.
This palm was given by the elder Tianjian. Although it was only a flesh wound, for Chu Tianhan, it was tens of millions of times more painful than digging into the heart and eroding the bones.
Chu Tianhan looked like this, even more lonely and miserable than the one Lin Jichen saw in the Forbidden Soul Valley.
Chu Tianhan was only seriously injured when he was in the Soul Forbidden Valley, but his arrogance and tenacity still existed, and there was still faith in his eyes.
But now, although he was not injured, Lin Jichen felt that he was a hundred times worse than what he was at that time, his eyes were hollow, like a walking zombie.
Chu Tianhan, who was brought up, knelt down automatically.
The moment he saw him, the face of the Great Elder Tianjian instantly darkened, and the invisible air pressure silenced the entire audience.
Chu Tianhan raised his head and looked at the Great Elder Tianjian expectantly, but the other party turned a blind eye, and his eyes were even full of disgust.
Chu Tianhan's eyes suddenly turned red, he lowered his head in shame and did not dare to look up again.
However, Elder Tianjian took the initiative to stand up and said in a loud voice: "Disciples, I, Yuan Tianjian, do not know people well, and he accepted the devil as his disciple, which made the entire Sword Sect become the laughing stock of the monks in the world. I know that I am guilty, and now I have decided to resign as an elder.
I will continue my career, reflect on myself, and will not accept any more disciples in the future.”
Elder Tianjian's words made all the disciples stand in awe. Only Chu Tianhan, who had always lowered his head, trembled slightly as if struck by lightning.
