EBE Chapter 144 Apology
Chapter 144 Apology
"I disagree!"
Ye Zhanhun's eyes were wide open with anger, and his face was so gloomy that it seemed as if ink could drip out.
His chest heaved violently, and the rage in his heart burned fiercely, unable to be calmed down.
I actually suffered such a great loss, and this ignorant brat in front of me actually tried to brush the matter off with a light apology!
This is simply an insult and provocation to him!
"Junior Brother Ye, Wanwan is still young and naive after all. As an elder, why bother with a little kid?"
The leader of Qingyun Sect thought about the several star-attracting silver fish that Zi Wuji gave him yesterday, and couldn't help but defend Xiao Wanwan.
Although the leader of a sect needs to be fair, legal principles are nothing more than human feelings.
"Master, then, has my loss been in vain? If you don't give me a satisfactory solution, I will definitely not let it go."
Ye Zhanhun was so angry at the leader of Qingyun Sect that he fell backwards. After talking for a long time, it seemed that the leader was being unreasonable.
Are they blind to see how miserable I look?
Seeing that Ye Zhanhun was so aggressive and refused to give in, the leader of Qingyun Sect felt a little resentful.
Junior Brother Ye is already quite old, but he still insists on nitpicking the mistakes of a junior.
Thinking of this, his tone became a little stiff.
"What did Junior Brother want to do about that night?"
"Send her to the Cliff of Repentance to face the wall!"
There was a hint of cruelty in Ye Zhanhun's eyes, and his tone was firm, leaving no room for compromise.
Everyone's faces changed at once, and Jin Wuxiang stared at Ye Zhanhun in disbelief.
"Are you crazy? Wanwan is just a three-year-old child, with no cultivation at all. You're sending her to the Cliff of Repentance to face the wall. Do you want to kill her?"
"That's right! Senior Brother Ye, going to the Cliff of Repentance is a bit too much!"
Even Leng Jingtian, who had always been on good terms with him, showed disapproval on his face.
The Qingyun Sect's Cliff of Repentance has always been a place where disciples who have committed serious crimes are punished. The cliff is freezing cold and filled with strong winds.
If someone were to sit there facing the wall and reflect on their mistakes, the gusts of wind would be like sharp blades, cutting the person into pieces.
Coupled with the freezing temperature in that place, it was truly a life worse than death.
Ye Zhanhun didn't care at all and snorted heavily.
"Hmph... She offended me like this. If she were a disciple of Lingyun Peak, she would have been severely punished by me long ago. How could she still bargain with me here?"
"Junior Brother Ye is being too harsh. How can a little girl like Wanwan withstand the strong winds and profound ice on the Cliff of Repentance? Just let her reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors at Lingxiao Peak."
Seeing that Ye Zhanhun acted ruthlessly and did not have the broad mind of an elder, the leader of Qingyun Sect showed displeasure on his face.
He had just checked carefully and found that Junior Brother Ye was not seriously injured.
The injuries in his body were still the same as before and had not been aggravated by the disturbance.
He never knew that his Junior Brother Ye was such a cruel and ruthless person.
Even if a little kid makes a mistake, he shouldn't be punished so severely, let alone sentenced to death!
That night, the junior brother wanted to take the kid's life. How could the people on Lingxiao Peak agree to that?
"Hmph... Senior Brother Ye, don't think I, Zi Wuji, am afraid of you! If my disciples on Lingxiao Peak make mistakes, I will personally teach them. How could I allow you to dictate their behavior?"
Zi Wuji's face was as gloomy as water, his brows were furrowed, and sparks of anger flashed in his eyes.
Ever since he heard that Ye Zhanhun actually wanted Xiao Wanwan to go to the Cliff of Repentance, his originally handsome face was instantly covered with frost.
"If you could discuss this with me calmly, I would naturally respect you as my senior brother and compensate you well. But you made such a cruel request, which is simply unacceptable!"
As he spoke, Zi Wuji exuded a powerful aura, like a volcano about to erupt.
Yun Mubai and others who rushed over after hearing the news rushed to Xiao Wanwan without hesitation and protected her tightly behind them.
They all had frowns and glared, staring at Ye Zhanhun opposite them, as if they wanted to see through him with their eyes.
Wanwan is the treasure held in the palm of the hand by everyone in Lingxiao Peak.
If anyone dares to touch her today, don't blame them for disregarding the friendship between fellow disciples and fight to the death with them!
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, with Ye Zhanhun and Zi Wuji confronting each other and refusing to give in.
A fierce conflict was about to break out, and the air around seemed to solidify, so oppressive that it made people breathless.
"Shut up, everyone!"
The leader of Qingyun Sect roared angrily with a dark face.
"We are all fellow disciples, yet each of us is like a mortal enemy. How can we fight side by side in the future and revitalize our Qingyun Sect?"
"The Sect Master is right!"
Zi Wuji withdrew his aura and returned to his former elegant and calm demeanor.
"Wanwan got into trouble and we accepted the punishment, but Senior Brother Ye refused to give in and insisted on killing her. We will never agree to this."
"Junior Brother Zi is right! Sending Wanwan to the Cliff of Repentance is far too cruel!"
Jin Wuxiang looked at it for a long time and agreed with Zi Wuji's words.
Leng Jingtian on the side also nodded and advised.
"Brother Ye, Wanwan is just a little girl. How could she possibly withstand the strong winds on the Cliff of Repentance? You're furious right now, so naturally you're a little rude. Even when you calm down, you won't want to let a little girl like Wanwan go to the Cliff of Repentance."
As he spoke, he winked at Ye Zhanhun.
Let's quit while we're ahead! Judging from the situation on Lingxiao Peak, they definitely won't let the kid go up to the Cliff of Repentance.
Besides, the sect leader won’t agree, so it would be better to take the opportunity to ask for some benefits.
Ye Zhanhun was not a fool. When he saw Leng Jingtian winking at him, he immediately understood what he meant.
Zi Wuji protected the little brat very closely, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart and spoke gloomily.
"For the sake of the Sect Master, Senior Brother Jin, and Junior Brother Leng, I can refrain from asking her to go to the Cliff of Repentance. But I was severely injured because of her, so you should at least make a statement, right?"
"Brother Ye, this is what we should do!"
Zi Wuji nodded. They were all fellow disciples and it was harmless for them to have a few arguments on a daily basis. He didn't want to make enemies because of anything.
He turned around to look at Xiao Wanwan and spoke with a serious face.
"Wanwan, apologize to your Uncle Ye immediately!"
"Yes, Master!"
Only then did Xiao Wanwan realize that she had caused a big disaster. She lowered her head and walked up to Ye Zhanhun, bowing deeply with a look of shame on her little face.
"Master Ye, I'm sorry! Wanwan was naughty and made a big mistake, disturbing your retreat to heal your injuries. Please forgive me, Master Ye!"
Ye Zhanhun looked at the little guy in front of him with a guilty look on his face, apologizing to him obediently, and actually felt a little bit of self-blame in his heart.
Was he too cruel then? He scared the little kid.
"Forget it, forget it. I was just trying to scare you. How could I really let you go to the Cliff of Repentance? But you must be careful with your words and actions in the future. Don't be naughty, or you will cause an unmanageable disaster in the future!"
Xiao Wanwan bowed obediently again.
"Wanwan has taken note of this. Thank you, Master Ye, for your magnanimity and for not holding it against me."
