Zheng Nansheng's eyes resembled He Yuwei's, but at this moment, those eyes were completely devoid of any sparkle, utterly dull.
This makes her even less like herself.
Even Zheng Kaiyuan, with his heart of stone, couldn't help but soften a little: "I have already punished you for your sins. Do you have anything else to say?"
Zheng Nansheng knew that in front of someone like the Immortal Venerable, being frank and straightforward was far more effective in winning favor than trying to outsmart him.
Since Zheng Kaiyuan is willing to give him a break, there might still be room for maneuver in Li Yueyun's case.
"Nansheng wants to ask, what will happen to Li Yueyun in the end?"
Zheng Kaiyuan said, "I have already destroyed his golden core. He will be completely crippled in the dungeon within ten years, and eventually die and his cultivation will dissipate."
With his Golden Core destroyed, the dungeon of the Immortal Venerable's Mansion became more than just a cage that confined Li Yueyun to his freedom.
This cage will slowly drain his cultivation, and after that, it will gradually torment his spirit.
They drove him to the point where he could neither live nor die, and then he died in extreme pain, going mad.
When the Immortal Venerable's Mansion was first built, every brick and tile shone brightly, but this dungeon was extremely dark and gloomy, and every time it was mentioned, it sent chills down people's spines.
Some even suggested abandoning the dungeon.
But this naive idea was quickly rejected.
Without the deterrent effect of punishment, relying solely on morality to restrain the behavior of practitioners is simply wishful thinking.
Everyone has a beastly nature deep within their soul, but it is always suppressed by humanity.
Without reverence, the world will sooner or later be filled with evil.
Being evil to evil people is the greatest good.
As Zheng Nansheng pondered this, he had a premonition.
It seems that what he asked for today will not be granted.
But he still decided to give it a try.
“Anyone who fails to frame someone will have their cultivation suspended and will never be tolerated by immortal cultivators again. Based on this matter alone, Li Yueyun’s crime does not warrant death.”
In order to spare Li Yueyun's life, Zheng Nansheng actually used the laws of the Immortal Venerable's Mansion to negotiate with Zheng Kaiyuan. In the end, he could not let Li Yueyun go unpunished.
Zheng Kaiyuan sighed: "My child, he has more than just this one thing on his plate."
Fifty years ago, Yueyun Manor was called Wanjing Manor. Li Yueyun poisoned the manor owner and took his place. It was later renamed Yueyun Manor.
Seventeen years ago, Li Yueyun's wife discovered their past affair and was tricked by him into dying in childbirth.
Three months ago... Child, with your cultivation level, didn't you notice that whistle?
"Whistle..."
Zheng Nansheng almost couldn't sit still; he held onto the chair, panting heavily.
As the chief disciple of Yueyun Manor, how could he not be familiar with that whistle?
On the third day after Ji Kongmeng left, he did hear a few whistles and had a bad feeling.
But he didn't think in that direction. He couldn't believe that Li Yueyun would leave Ji Kongmeng with no way out.
It turns out that the crazy things Ji Kongmeng said in front of the canteen that day were all true.
Everyone else thought he was crazy, but he was the only one who was awake.
Zheng Kaiyuan has no reason to smear Li Yueyun any further.
Li Yueyun's crimes are likely far more extensive than this.
Zheng Kaiyuan said earnestly, "I know that Li Yueyun saved your life and has taught you carefully for many years. But he is a really despicable person and is not worth your protection."
You must not let these favors blind you to the importance of maintaining a just and impartial mind.
With red eyes, Zheng Nansheng calmly asked an unrelated question: "Immortal Venerable, have you ever eaten dirt?"
Such a simple question, yet even a dignified immortal venerable did not know how to answer it.
Zheng Nansheng continued, "I've eaten something called Guanyin soil. It tastes better than other soils and doesn't have a strong fishy smell."
Even a tiny bit of food makes my throat feel like it's on fire, and I'm incredibly thirsty, so I have to keep drinking water.
When you drink water, the soil inside your stomach expands, and your stomach swells up like a fish swim bladder.
But I was still hungry, terribly hungry.
Some people can't resist eating more and end up dying from overeating.
When Zheng Nansheng was struggling on the verge of death, those righteous and just people did not come to his rescue!
It was Li Yueyun, that utterly wicked villain, who saved his life!
He not only saved Zheng Nansheng, but also brought Zheng Nansheng to Yueyun Manor.
It gave Zheng Nansheng hope! It gave him a chance to turn his life around!
Everyone in this world can despise Li Yueyun, but he cannot.
Because Li Yueyun saved his life and pulled him out of hell, he owed Li Yueyun a debt he would never forget.
He hoped to save Li Yueyun as long as there was even a sliver of hope.
Now, there is absolutely no hope left.
Zheng Kaiyuan couldn't shake off his guilt and shook his head, sighing, "Child, you're taking this favor too seriously. Let me show you something else."
Zheng Kaiyuan waved his hand, and a mirror appeared in the room.
The main character is the boy who was rescued by Yueyun Manor a few months ago.
The boy was slow-witted and could only work as a servant at Yueyun Manor.
She held the same position as Zheng Nansheng at the beginning.
But unlike Zheng Nansheng, who chose to quietly accumulate strength and change his life.
The boy, who was always spoiled by his grandmother, chose to cause a scene at the mountain resort, cursing Yueyun Mountain Resort for disregarding human life and breaking its promises.
He wanted to become a disciple of Yueyun Manor and a prestigious cultivator, not a lowly servant.
This whole ordeal was hardly taken seriously. After being thoroughly dealt with by the servants, the boy realized that he had entered not a blessed place at all, but rather a den of wolves.
He regretted it and wanted to leave.
But the servants kept a close watch on him, and he would be severely beaten if he slacked off.
