“Master!” Cheng Dong became increasingly indignant as he spoke on. “At that time, I was already injured, Junior Sister Zhi Lin asked her for help, she refused to and even taunted her with her speech. She even threatened us and after that, many demon beasts suddenly appeared in the forest. And…” He turned and glanced at Fatty, then gritted his teeth, like he was going all out.” And Master Hui Ze, he was biased and conniving to that bad person the whole time, totally not listening to our explanations. That was why we were injured so badly.”

“Oh?” Lonemoon’s expression became more peaceful. “So… you think that the reason why all of you were injured, was all because of Shen Ying?”

Cheng Dong did not reply, but anger contorted his face, it was evident that he thought so.

Lonemoon then turned towards the other disciples. “How about you all?” The remaining people looked at each other, seeming slightly hesitant.” He then added, “It’s alright, speak the truth, if you have the same thoughts as Cheng Dong, step forward.”

“I can prove that Senior Brother Cheng Dong was speaking the truth!” Zi Yu was the first to voice her support, even taking two steps in Cheng Dong’s direction while enduring her injuries. Giving Shen Ying a glare, she said, “It was her who caused us to be in this predicament.”

A trace of emotion flashed through Cheng Dong’s eyes as his gaze became more confident. Perhaps because there was someone leading the way, the remaining disciples also started to raise their hands.

In the end, it turned out that there was half of them who agreed with Cheng Dong, the remaining three oldest ones, Jian Xing who was kneeling this entire time and Zhi Lin who was supporting him did not raise their hands.

The fan in Lonemoon’s hand made a splintering sound from being held tightly. Inhaling deeply to suppress the restlessness deep down, his eyes grew colder. A moment later, he then looked to the remaining five and questioned, “Why didn’t you raise your hands, do you think they were lying?”

All of them were taken aback for a moment, not knowing how to reply to that. Zhi Lin was the one who spoke up after a while. “Replying to Master, I think… Sister Shen doesn’t seem to be such a bad person, though previously… but I believe she wouldn’t do such things that will harm people from the same sect and put them to death.” With that said, she even looked towards Shen Ying who was totally out of the situation with a hopeful look. “There might be other reasons for this!”

“Junior Sister Zhi Lin!” Cheng Dong sighed, heartache for her filled his eyes. “She did you in so badly, why are you still speaking for her?”

The others who’d raised their hands wore the same expressions, their resentment towards Shen Ying flared.

Lonemoon looked across these people and suddenly lifted his lips into a smile, as he questioned, a word at a time, “Then… for such a grave wrongdoing, what punishment do you think should be meted out?”

Everyone stared at each other for some time, in the end, it was still Cheng Dong who said angrily.

“For a person like her, it wouldn’t be too much to cripple her cultivation and kick her out of the sect.”

The others also nodded.

“Alright!” Lonemoon closed his eyes, he really couldn’t continue questioning. Standing up, he looked to Hui Ze and instructed, “Fatty, heal their injuries first.”

“Yes, Master!” Fatty looked at all of them, then shook his head while sighing. He then conjured a spell, a rejuvenation array instantly appeared beneath their feet. Everyone who looked miserable initially felt their bodies relax, the wounds on them swiftly healed at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye. In a few moments, they were as good as new.

Fatty then brought out a bottle of elixir pills, handed it to the closest disciple and told him to distribute it. “Eat it, within three days, your meridians will recover.”

Everyone was delighted and quickly distributed the pills and swallowed them. Indeed, their remaining internal injuries eased up greatly. They could already stand and bowed towards Lonemoon. “Thank you, Master Lonemoon.”

“No need!” Lonemoon smiled at them, but there was no trace of it in his eyes. “Now that your injuries are healed, let’s talk about the punishment next.”

The people were dazed for a moment, especially the four who had pointed Shen Ying earlier, their eyes had lit up.
