Meanwhile, after obtaining the pill, the saintess returned to her family, knowing that her clansmen were still waiting for her.

Moreover, as a saintess, she had a responsible attitude towards her family, and from birth, she enjoyed wealth and luxury.

At the same time, he also knew what mission he represented from the moment he was born.

“I’m back. I’ve retrieved the pills and also obtained the medicinal herbs that were originally extinct. This is their compensation to us.”

As he spoke, his voice betrayed his excitement. There was no way around it; obtaining these medicinal herbs was an accident, and bringing them back was even more unexpected.

If you could gain the family's approval, that would be even better.

But when he saw the expressions on everyone's faces, he realized something was off, and he didn't know what to say. He put his hands at his sides.

"What's wrong? Did I do something wrong this time? If I did, then I'd rather accept it."

He knew that his family had very strict requirements for him, so he had always obeyed their orders. But now, the way his family looked at him had changed; it wasn't as warm as before.

Moreover, there seemed to be something else in his eyes, which gave him an indescribable feeling. If the family wanted to pin all the blame on him, perhaps he really couldn't do anything about it.

"Did I do something wrong?"

When he asked, all the people around him could say was, "You didn't do anything wrong, but so what?"

Your family will never give you any chance.

“You did nothing wrong, but you know that person has so many treasures, so why didn’t you bring him back? And if you brought him back, he could bring us even more. Don’t you understand this simple principle?”

An elderly woman with white hair spoke up. She was holding a cane, and her eyes were full of disapproval when she looked at the saintess.

She never expected that there would still be such a disobedient person. She originally thought that her granddaughter was obedient enough, but she did not expect that the other party would be so disobedient in private, and would take it upon herself to let that person go.

“Grandma, I know you really want to keep that person here, but he has already compensated us. We can’t be greedy. Besides, we can’t figure out his strength. If we continue to attack him at this time, it will be a loss for us.”

He felt that he had at least some idea of ​​other people's strength, but his grandmother's current actions were going to bring down the entire Celestial Race.

Even if you really want something, you should at least consider your own people.

“I know you are kind-hearted, and I know there are many things you don’t want to do, but what can you do if you don’t want to? Even for the sake of your own people, can you really refuse?”

As he questioned her, the saintess's expression quickly changed, and he knew that he would not be understood by his family.

Since that's the case, and he's already made up his mind, then he might as well accept the punishment at any time. After all, being punished is the easiest thing for him anyway. Otherwise, if he keeps insisting on it, things will only get worse.

“Since Grandma doesn’t understand me, and so many of my clansmen don’t understand me either, then I’m willing to be punished, no matter what the punishment is, I won’t blame you.”

After he finished speaking, his eyes were fixed ahead. Punishment wasn't a serious matter for him. Hearing that he would be punished but refused to reveal the person, everyone felt only anger. Shouldn't their Holy Maiden be thinking of the Celestial Race?

Since that person possessed such medicinal herbs, they must have something even better on them.

"You are truly stubborn and incorrigible. You are willing to protect that man but refuse to reveal anything. How can you do this to our Celestial Race?"

"I'm truly speechless. I've raised you all this time, and now you're just here to produce Manchus, right?"

"Do you understand that the saintess doesn't understand the principles of emotions?"

Everyone was filled with deep remorse, and the saintess stood among them, feeling as if all the storms were coming toward her.

But it's okay, he can handle it. He gently gritted his teeth, knowing that he had to explain everything to his people.

But he had already tried his best; it's just that people didn't want to listen.

"I'm sorry, I can't do that. They've already given us benefits, and those benefits far exceed our entire value. Aren't you satisfied?"

They were originally banished by the gods, but the gods placed them in this place so that they could repent and start anew. But no matter what crimes they committed, they shouldn't implicate the good people.

He knew his people were anxious, but no matter how anxious they were, he couldn't go against his conscience.

"Alright, take him away to be punished. Only after he's punished will he slowly confess. It's time for him to receive some punishment. We've pampered him since he was little, letting him not know how cruel the outside world really is."

After the old lady finished speaking, the saintess was quickly dragged away, but he did not regret it at all.

Those who returned with the saintess knew roughly what the situation was, and under these circumstances, they had no way to persuade her.

"Holy Maiden, why don't you lower your head? Since you know that person is so powerful, he will surely be able to escape, but you may not be able to escape the family's accountability. If this continues, you may be finished."

After the people below finished speaking, the saintess shook her head.

“I cannot sell myself. As a saintess, I also have my own principles and bottom line. In the past, I would only listen to what people in my family said, but today I want to be myself completely, even if I don’t have to be a saintess.”

In fact, Feng Tianci had nothing to do with him, and he shouldn't have done this for him.

However, he theoretically felt that they should not be ungrateful, especially since what they received was indeed worth more than they were entitled to.

"Holy Maiden, you are truly confused. When all these things are weighing on your shoulders, are you sure you can really handle them all?"

He was taken outside to be punished, and the saintess endured all the punishments, each lash of the whip heavier than the last, but he gritted his teeth and persevered. (End of Chapter)
