Zhao Wuji's face was gloomy. "This is one of my disciples. I am extremely angry about his behavior. Can't I punish him?"
Lin Ya said expressionlessly, "We have to listen to him finish his words! If there's any misunderstanding, it would be unfair to him."
Lin Ya stood in front of Ma Hongyu, showing no intention of moving aside.
Zhao Wuji's face became increasingly gloomy. He stared at Lin Ya, but he had no better solution.
Ma Hongyu glanced at Lin Ya with gratitude, then continued, "Yesterday, Ye Danxia said she would go collect the spiritual plants for me. I asked for the Sect Leader's token to obey her orders.

Ye Danxia immediately knelt down in front of Zhao Wuji: "Master, please make the decision for this disciple."
Looking at Ye Danxia like this, Zhao Wuji wanted to kick her away, but at this moment, he could only help Ye Danxia get through this level first.
Zhao Wuji looked at Ma Hongyu expressionlessly. "Danxia has just entered the sect and doesn't have much need for spiritual plants. But you, your cultivation has been stuck in the Spiritual Transformation Stage for a long time. You want to break through to the Fusion Stage, which is your motive for stealing spiritual plants. Ma Hongyu, you are still trying to confuse right and wrong. Do you know that this is an even greater crime?"
Zhao Wuji tried hard to make himself look majestic and wanted to scare Ma Hongyu.
