Yu Shuang thought for a moment and gestured for the man to release the thief so she could give him a public trial.
After Su Zheng was captured, his cultivation was imprisoned, and his energy was constantly dissipating and being absorbed by the surrounding magic array.
With one side gaining at the expense of the other, there is no hope for the future.
I believe that in just a few days they will be completely exhausted and utterly destroyed.
At this moment, Su Zheng was still questioning the meaning of life:
Damn it! Can someone tell him why a small NPC faction is so difficult to deal with??
He's the chosen one, he's the protagonist!
He hasn't even grown up enough to dominate the world yet, is he going to die young?
No!
Um??
Suddenly, a ray of dawn shone down from above, and then I lost my balance and felt dizzy again.
Thud! He fell heavily to the ground.
I realized that I had actually seen the light of day again!
Looking up, I saw a pair of cold eyes and a series of arrogant gazes.
Realizing his predicament instantly, he quickly backed down and tried to defend himself.
"Master, please understand! I was simply lost and didn't know it was your treasure vault. I had absolutely no intention of stealing! ... Ignorance is no excuse. Could you please be lenient with me?"
He spoke the last sentence with a kind smile, and very carefully.
A true man can bend and stretch; as long as he can get away with it, what does a little face matter?
A gentleman takes revenge and doesn't seek it for ten years... He'll get his revenge later.
Knowing you can't win but still stubbornly refusing to adapt, that's truly incredibly stupid.
"To get lost and still end up in my heavily guarded treasure vault, that's quite an achievement..."
Yu Shuang spoke slowly, her eyes calm and composed, her emotions unreadable.
Su Zheng was unsure of Yu Shuang's attitude and felt somewhat uneasy.
Yu Shuang abruptly changed the subject:
"...Since that's the case, the death penalty can be avoided but punishment is inevitable. Let's confiscate the tools used in the crime and sentence him to 100 years of labor reform."
Tools don't matter, since all the treasures are in the system inventory. The system can't possibly confiscate them, right?
But what's with this "100 years of forced labor" nonsense?
Damn, he might not even live to be 100 years old!!
Are they trying to wear him down in this lousy place?!
"I protest!!..."
"Smack!"
The disciple standing nearby, quick-witted as ever, gave him a sharp rap on the forehead, interrupting his spellcasting.
And he shouted angrily:
"What are you protesting for? Huh? The hall master has spoken, so it's a done deal! Do you even have a say in this??"
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Yu Shuang and saw that his master not only did not show displeasure, but also looked pleased.
As if encouraged, they became even more proactive.
He volunteered to take on the job, searched the person, and confiscated their tools used in the crime.
Yu Shuang agreed.
A moment later, Su Zheng lay sprawled on the ground, his hair disheveled, his clothes in disarray, his face contorted with humiliation, two streams of regret streaming down his face.
A scholar may be killed, but not humiliated...
Waaaaah... I ran into a thug...
Who will save him?
Damn system! Show yourself if you dare!
"Master, apart from his clothes, everything this thief owned is here."
Yu Shuang nodded, praising him highly. The disciple smiled happily after being praised.
"There is also the most important tool used in the crime... which requires my personal attention."
Yu Shuang got up and walked straight towards them.
Su Zheng's heart pounded like a drum, and for some reason he had a bad feeling.
No...no way??
"What...what do you want to do??"
"The tools used in the crime were confiscated."
With a wave of her hand, Yu Shuang sent a beam of white light flying out of Su Zheng's mind and landing precisely in her hand.
A white sphere of light was formed.
Su Zheng suddenly felt a splitting headache, as if something important had been ripped from his body.
Holy crap!! It's the system!!?
Realizing what was happening, he pointed at Yu Shuang with a look of terror on his face:
"...You...you...how could this be!?..."
That's a system, holy crap!!
They just robbed it without warning!
This NPC is ridiculously strong!!
At the same time, the white orb disappeared little by little from Yu Shuang's hand, as if it had been completely devoured by another force.
Upon seeing this, Su Zheng's eyes widened in fury, and he lunged at Yu Shuang like a madman.
"Ah...no! That's mine!! Give it back to me!!"
"bump!"
However, before he could even get close, he was kicked away by a perceptive disciple.
"What do you mean 'yours' and 'mine'? They all belong to Baicaotang now, understand?"
Although they were also shocked that this kid possessed such a mysterious and powerful force.
Fortunately, the hall master had keen insight and immediately saw through the fact that this thief was no ordinary person.
As expected of the hall master!
This kid is still too green in front of the hall master.
Ignoring the expression on someone's face, which nearly made them vomit blood, Yu Shuang leisurely spoke:
"It's just a game, why take it so seriously? ... For the rest of your life, just work hard to pay off your debts."
Su Zheng was stunned.
Although I don't quite understand why, I can smell a sense of cause and effect.
...
Su Zheng became a key target for attention among those undergoing labor reform.
There's always work to be done, contributing to the world's economy, with absolutely no possibility of slacking off.
This made Su Zheng, who was exploited by capitalists in real life, wish he could die!
Why can't I escape the fate of being a beast of burden no matter where I go?
Compared to this, he still longs for the life of cattle and horses in the real world.
There's at least a shred of hypocritical human rights, isn't there?
Damn it, these exploitative landlords here don't pay us! Waaaaah...
