You remained chaste on your wedding night, do you really think this holy son is a simp?

As Elder Zhu listened to the tearful accusations of his true disciples, his expression grew increasingly grim.

Gu Changyuan completely disregards his fellow disciples, relying on his status as a Holy Son to act utterly lawless!

"Gu Changyuan!"

"Listen to what your fellow disciples are saying! As the sect's holy son, you should be a role model for all the disciples, but what are you doing now?"

"Although you are a holy son with extraordinary talent, it doesn't mean you can do whatever you want within the sect. Sects have their own rules, and everything must be done according to the regulations. If everyone resorted to private punishment like you, wouldn't the Feathered Immortal Sect be in complete chaos?"

Faced with Elder Zhu's questioning, Gu Changyuan's expression remained unchanged.

Gu Changyuan even laughed when he heard the word "rules".

"Hahahaha, Elder Zhu, are you blind?!"

Gu Changyuan originally thought that people who could sit in the position of law enforcement elder must at least be clear-headed and have sharp eyes.

But unexpectedly, this person, who was an elder, was just like those fools on the ground, so indiscriminate in distinguishing right from wrong.

Thinking about this, Gu Changyuan found it even more interesting. He didn't even rush to explain, but simply watched Elder Zhu quietly.

"And you're telling me the rules?"

"Elder Zhu, since you like talking about rules so much, why don't you tell me first? What kind of rule is it to believe only one side of the story without understanding the truth?"

Gu Changyuan raised his hand, pointed to the group of true disciples on the ground who were still pretending to be pitiful, and then pointed to Chen Yueyao, who was already crippled, in the distance. His mockery deepened.

"Elder Zhu, do you also believe that I wronged this pitiful junior sister? Do you also think that it was Senior Sister Qin Shuang who stole that damned Foundation Establishment Pill, and that I was in the wrong first?"

Elder Zhu was visibly taken aback when he heard Gu Changyuan say this. His previously aggressive demeanor faltered, and his gaze began to shift between Gu Changyuan and the group of true disciples. He also began to have some doubts in his mind.

Indeed, although Gu Changyuan is arrogant, he is not a madman. If there is no reason, why would he suddenly take such a ruthless action?

Elder Zhu first looked at Zhao Ping'an and his group. Their faces were filled with resentment, and they were all injured with blood trickling from their mouths. They looked truly miserable.

Especially Zhao Ping'an, who is the eldest son of the Zhao family and usually has some influence in the sect, it is indeed a bit unreasonable for him to be beaten like this.

Then, his gaze swept past the crowd and landed on Chen Yueyao, who was not far away.

The girl lay motionless on the ground, her breath extremely faint.

Elder Zhu scanned the area with his divine sense and was shocked. He was indeed ruined; his dantian was shattered, his spiritual energy was dissipated, and he would be nothing more than a mortal from now on.

That's too ruthless. No matter what, he was just a newcomer with only Foundation Establishment cultivation.

Finally, Elder Zhu's gaze fell on Qin Shuang.

Although Qin Shuang was somewhat disheveled at this moment, her cultivation level at the Nascent Soul stage was genuine. She stood there with a cold expression, exuding the arrogance unique to a powerful figure.

Elder Zhu already had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

Logically speaking, how could a Nascent Soul stage expert possibly steal a Foundation Establishment Pill from an outer disciple?

No one would believe this if they told anyone, unless they'd lost their mind.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense can figure out what's going on here. It's likely that the outer disciple was either being ignorant or being used as a pawn.

But......

Elder Zhu turned around and looked at Gu Changyuan again, his eyes flickering with uncertainty, showing some hesitation.

Does the truth matter?

In the current situation, the truth may not really be that important.

Elder Zhu's eyes darted around, his mind racing with unspoken thoughts, and he was calculating things rapidly.

These disciples are no ordinary people; each of them has a powerful background and is a member of a major family.

Especially Zhao Ping'an, whose father donated a lot of resources to the sect.

Now that they are injured like this, if I, as the law enforcement elder, do not give them an explanation, but instead help Gu Changyuan and Qin Shuang who has no background, how will this matter be cleaned up in the future?

Offending these spoiled brats means offending the families behind them.

If these families cause trouble, it will be difficult to explain to the sect leader, and my position as an elder will be insecure.

On the other hand, Chen Yueyao, although she is a weak person, is more likely to gain sympathy precisely because she is weak.

As for Qin Shuang...

Hmph, so what if she didn't steal the Foundation Establishment Pill?

She was usually aloof and didn't have many friends. What was wrong with putting her in a difficult position to protect the overall situation and appease the injured disciples?

Having figured out the pros and cons, Elder Zhu's eyes clearly showed no hesitation as he nodded to Zhao Ping'an and his group.

Although the nod was a small gesture, everyone present understood it.

This means they've chosen sides.

This is a statement of stance.

When Zhao Ping'an and the others saw this, they almost burst out laughing, their smugness barely concealed.

If they win, as long as the Enforcement Elders stand on their side, even if Gu Changyuan is strong, he won't dare to openly oppose the entire Enforcement Hall, right?

Elder Zhu turned around and faced Gu Changyuan again, adopting the posture of an elder lecturing a junior.

"Gu Changyuan," Elder Zhu said in a deep voice.

"I see things very clearly. Regardless of the cause of the matter, it is a fact that you injured a fellow disciple and crippled his cultivation. There are still some doubts about Qin Shuang's matter, but your use of private punishment is a grave mistake. Today, I must act according to the rules and give all the disciples an explanation!"

After saying these words, Elder Zhu felt that he was exceptionally noble and just.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changyuan's sneer deepened.

Looking at this sanctimonious elder, he felt a wave of nausea.

So this is what they call the Enforcement Elders? So this is the sect's justice?

They fawn over those in power, turn a blind eye to the truth, only know how to weigh the pros and cons, and only know how to smooth things over.

Despite being an elder, he was just like those good-for-nothings, his mind filled with nothing but muddled thoughts and scheming.

Gu Changyuan shook his head, his disappointment turning into utter disdain.

"Following the rules?"

"If you had used your brain even a little bit, you wouldn't have said such ridiculous things. You're saying that for the sake of the rules? You're saying it for your own safety!"

"How ridiculous."

Gu Changyuan stared at Elder Zhu's somewhat embarrassed old face and said, word by word:

"You? You think you're qualified to be an elder in charge of law enforcement?"
