The Black Lotus Reborn: The Entire Sect Kneels and Begs for My Forgiveness

Ye Yunong glanced at them and saw that all the magical treasures were still there.

"Reporting to the Elder of Law Enforcement, these are indeed my spiritual treasures."

Ye Yunong nodded.

Qin Nanhuai's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was about to be put back at ease.

Ye Yunong changed the subject, and her voice was filled with confusion.

"But my magical treasures are clearly in my room, how did they end up in the Hall of Enforcement?"

Qin Nanhuai tried to signal to Ye Yunong with his eyes, but Ye Yunong didn't even look at him.

"These magical treasures were all seized in the market. According to the shopkeeper, they were all sold to him by your fourth junior brother."

Besides these few magical treasures, the shopkeeper also has an account book that details all the magical treasures your junior brother has sold over the past few years. Take a look and see if they're all yours.”

The law enforcement elder realized that Ye Yunong knew nothing about this matter.

The disciple beside him handed the account book to Ye Yunong.

Ye Yunong took the ledger and slowly released it, her brows furrowing more and more tightly.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Jun glanced sideways and wanted to step forward to remind Ye Yunong that if anything happened, she should return to Qinglian Peak first, and her master would uphold justice for her.

Ye Yunong began to mutter incantations to herself.

"On the eighth day of the first month of the Xinzi year, a star-patterned robe was sold..."

"On the thirteenth day of the second month of the Xinzi year, a pair of Moon Shadow Boots were sold..."

"..."

As Ye Yunong continued reading, Jun Ce found it difficult to utter the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

He was shocked. He hadn't expected that Qin Nanhuai's expenses on refining artifacts over the past few years would be so astonishing. The spiritual treasures he sold all belonged to Ye Yunong, and he had seen those spiritual treasures in Ye Yunong's house before.

But not long after, all those magical treasures disappeared. When Jun Ce casually asked Ye Yunong about it, Ye Yunong didn't explain. Unexpectedly, it turned out that her fourth junior brother had taken them to sell.

"Senior Sister, I was just about to tell you this, but I haven't found the opportunity yet. Consider Lingbao a loan from you..."

Qin Nanhuai also felt increasingly uneasy as he listened, and he even tried to argue his point.

Snapped--

An account book was thrown at Qin Nanhuai's face, making him see stars.

Qin Nanhuai covered his face, finding it hard to believe that Ye Yunong would hit him.

"Borrowed it from me? Then let me ask you, how are you going to pay it back? When are you going to pay it back?"

"I……"

Qin Nanhuai was speechless. How could he repay him?

He never thought about returning it before. Shouldn't his senior sister's things be given to him to use?

"Senior Sister, you have so many spiritual treasures, what's wrong with giving a few to Fourth Senior Brother?"

Lu Jinxin, who was listening from the side, realized that Ye Yunong actually had so many spiritual treasures. Even as the most favored junior sister of Qinglian Peak, she didn't have that many spiritual treasures.

"Yes, Junior Sister is right. We are all disciples of Qinglian Peak. Why do you have so many spiritual treasures while the rest of us don't? You must have embezzled our monthly salary to enrich yourself."

Thinking of what Ye Yunong had said to the senior brother in charge, Qin Nanhuai felt intense hatred.

He used to think Ye Yunong was very selfless, but he never expected that she was just like that senior brother in charge, embezzling their monthly salary.

"Yun Nong, you can't really be..."

Even Jun Ce, after listening, looked at Ye Yunong with suspicion.

Even the emperor's close advisor, a master of alchemy, doesn't have that many spiritual treasures, which makes one suspicious.

Hehehe—

"Since an elder is present today, I ask him to be my witness, and I will tell you how those magical treasures came to be."

Ye Yunong pointed to a transaction record in the ledger,

"I bought the Starry Robe after I helped the elders of the Pill Hall enter the Black Wind Forest to collect herbs, and in exchange for two mid-grade spirit stones."

"The Moon Shadow Boots were given to me by the senior brother of the Weapon Hall after I helped watch the fire for a month."

"..."

Ye Yunong remembered clearly how each of her magical treasures came to be.

So, all these magical treasures came from such a place?

Jun Ce felt his head buzzing. He had never known what Ye Yunong had done, even though he was Ye Yunong's Daoist partner.

She's been watching Fire in the Artifact Hall for a whole month, doesn't she need to rest?

There's also the infamous Black Wind Forest, teeming with first and second-level demonic beasts, extremely dangerous, where even Foundation Establishment cultivators dare not enter. Yet she, a Qi Refining cultivator, actually ventured in.

Not to mention the other spiritual treasures, all of which Ye Yunong obtained with her blood and sweat.

"Senior Sister, I...I didn't know any of this...If I had known..."

Qin Nanhuai didn't dare to look up at Ye Yunong when he heard this.

The eldest sister didn't say anything, so how would he know how hard-won those magical treasures were?

Even the notoriously strict elders of the Enforcement Hall felt that Ye Yunong had it tough; being the senior sister was a hundred times more tiring than being an elder of the Enforcement Hall themselves.

"What would happen if you knew? Would you not have entered my house and taken things without asking if you knew? Qin Nanhuai, no one will tolerate you forever. You did something wrong, so you should bear the consequences. I can't help you this time either."

After Ye Yunong finished speaking, she bowed to the elder in charge of law enforcement.

"Elder, I have nothing more to say. Please punish this severely."

"Senior Sister! I'm your junior brother! Are you really going to just stand by and watch me die?"

Qin Nanhuai was both angry and annoyed, feeling that Ye Yunong was really too cold-blooded and ruthless.

Ye Yunong walked to Xia Xuanji's side and stopped speaking, completely ignoring Jun Ce who kept glancing over.

The elder in charge of law enforcement immediately pronounced the verdict.

Every family has its rules, and every door has its regulations.

Qin Nanhuai, a disciple of Qinglian Peak, committed embezzlement, violating sect regulations. His attitude was appalling, and he showed no remorse. He is hereby punished with one month of confinement. Ye Yunong's stolen spiritual treasures will be converted into spirit stones and repaid double. She will also receive one hundred strokes of the cane as a warning to others.

"The market owner is a thief who has colluded with evil spirits to kill my sect's disciples, plunder my sect's property, and confiscate all his private assets. Drag him out and beat him to death!"

Qin Nanhuai's face turned deathly pale in an instant. The market owner collapsed to the ground. The two were dragged out one after the other, one was publicly executed and the other was beaten to death with sticks.

"Ye Yunong, how cruel you are! You will regret this, I will definitely make you regret it."

As Qin Nanhuai was dragged out, he didn't forget to glare fiercely at Ye Yunong, his eyes filled with hatred.

"Outer disciple Xia Xuanji, step forward to receive the order. You have made a meritorious report, and are hereby granted permission to enter the inner sect. You will be temporarily assigned to the Internal Affairs Hall. Do not make any mistakes."

After the elder of law enforcement dealt with the matter, he rewarded Xia Xuanji. Although he hadn't caught the mastermind behind the killing of the senior brother in charge, he had destroyed a black market and confiscated a lot of spiritual treasures, so the elder of law enforcement's anger had subsided.

Xia Xuanji was overjoyed. She nodded gratefully to Ye Yunong and, not daring to delay, went to the Internal Affairs Hall to report for duty.

"Yun Nong, what you did today was a bit too extreme."

Jun Ce saw Qin Nanhuai glaring at Ye Yunong and knew that a rift had formed between the two.

This rift is unlikely to be mended in a short time.

"Second junior brother, you are my junior brother, it is not your place to teach me how to do things."

"Now that things have come to this, let's consider this matter over. Yun Nong, are you still angry with us?"

Jun Ce coughed lightly, his gaze gentle as water as he looked tenderly at Ye Yun Nong.
