be punished
"It's okay, it's not much to eat and it doesn't take long." Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Then they looked at each other and felt that this matter was very tricky. After all, Qin Baoyao's room had a barrier set up by her parents. Unless the person's cultivation was higher than theirs, it could only be an acquaintance who was allowed to enter the room.
As for the former, the number of people with this level of cultivation in the world of cultivation can be counted on one hand, so they should not target such a junior.
If it is the latter, it means that the sect is not well managed and has allowed such a medicine to appear.
It's never a good thing.
Qin Baoyao saw that except for her parents and brother who were still comforting her, the sect leader and the elders were all gathered together to seriously discuss the matter, and she felt that she had done the right thing.
No matter why or who persuaded me to take the Lingmei Pill in my dreams or reality, as long as I tell them about it, my parents and the sect leader will definitely find a way to solve it. It is much better than guessing it alone.
Since the me in the dream took wrong steps one by one because I concealed the matter, and since there was always a voice in the dream telling me not to be discovered by others, I might as well expose the matter as soon as possible and make a big deal out of it. I don’t believe that so many people can’t keep an eye on me!
Although she currently doesn't know who the person who always instigated her in the dream is, nor does she know who sent the medicine, Qin Baoyao firmly believes that as long as she makes a choice that is completely opposite to the one in her dream, she will not be so miserable, and will not harm anyone. The worst that can happen is that she will be punished with confinement. Anyway, her brother and senior brothers and sisters will definitely accompany her.
"Ahem, Xiaoyao'er, we will investigate this matter thoroughly." After some discussion among the sect leader and others, the sect leader spoke up. "Although you confessed voluntarily, you took the Spiritual Charm Pill after all, so the punishment is inevitable."
Qin Baoyao herself didn't react much after hearing this, but her parents immediately exploded: "What do you mean? This isn't Yaoyao's fault. Yaoyao confessed it herself, so why punish her? Just scold her a few times!"
Qin Baoyao pulled her parents' sleeves on each side to comfort them who were about to explode.
"Not touching banned drugs is the sect's principle and bottom line. Not only should they be punished, but they should also make it public to warn others." The sect leader and others were reluctant to do so. After all, Qin Baoyao was also their beloved girl. However, they could turn a blind eye to other things, but not this one.
The Great Elder advised, "We're reluctant, but if we let him go this time out of soft-heartedness, how can we be fair to those seniors who were poisoned by banned drugs back then? To be frank, it's Xiao Yao'er now, so how can we guarantee that no one else in the sect will suffer the same fate? If we don't punish him this time, how can we convince others when they make mistakes in the future? It was just a minor incident before, harmless, so we were partial, but this time it's about principle and bottom line."
"Besides, Xiao Yao'er is a first-time offender after all, and she took the initiative to admit her mistake, so the punishment won't be too severe."
The three members of the Qin family wanted to fight for their little baby, but they also knew that what the elder said made sense. They looked at Qin Baoyao with heartache, worried that she would be sad. Who knew that Qin Baoyao would comfort them instead: "Dad, Mom, brother, and uncle are right. Yaoyao has caused great trouble this time, and she is willing to accept the punishment."
Qin Baoyao has had a smooth life since she was a child, and every time she got into trouble, her brother would help her cover it up. Even if her brother couldn't cover it up, she would always act coquettishly with her parents or uncles and aunts to avoid punishment.
In fact, she knew that if she hadn't had a nightmare, with her personality, she might really make one mistake after another until it was irreversible. Isn't that what dreams are like?
But the dream was too real, so real that even her memory of what happened afterwards was vague, but the feeling of being pierced through the heart by a sword still lingered in her mind.
After some bargaining, Qin Baoyao's punishment was finally decided. She would be confined to the Cliff of Repentance for half a month, and after she came out, she would be punished with ten lashes in the square.
So the disciples of Guiyi Sect saw the people from the Law Enforcement Hall taking the little ancestor Qin Baoyao, who always had someone to cover for him when he got into trouble, to the Cliff of Repentance, and they were all talking about it for a while.
"What's going on? What horrible mistake did this little ancestor Qin Baoyao make? Why is she being punished to go to the Cliff of Repentance?"
"Yes, that's right. According to the brothers and sisters who were punished there, that place is very dangerous and scary. Those who have been there once will never dare to make the same mistake again."
"Could it be that she has fallen out of favor? That shouldn't be the case. She hasn't been in trouble recently."
"Yeah, yeah, why are you being punished all of a sudden?"
Everyone was puzzled.
Qin Baoyao listened to everyone's discussion and said, "You don't understand. I just sacrificed myself to save everyone."
She was just feeling great when a voice suddenly caught her attention: "How could she fail? She actually disobeyed? She actually had the guts to expose this matter? It's a mess, everything is a mess."
This sound was so familiar. She opened her eyes wide, trying to find the source of the sound, but found it impossible because there were so many people around that she couldn't tell the source of the sound.
After she was forced to walk for a while, less than a quarter of an hour later, another group of people from the Law Enforcement Hall arrived.
All the confused voices were answered at this moment, because the people from the Law Enforcement Hall posted a notice in the sect square detailing what happened and attached Qin Baoyao's letter of apology.
"Ling...Lingmei Pill? Isn't this a banned drug? Has a banned drug appeared in the sect?" The young disciple asked the person who posted the notice in confusion.
I received a positive response and also learned that the sect would arrange a full inspection.
Due to the rigorous attitude of the Law Enforcement Hall, everything requires evidence, so they will give priority to checking Qin Baoyao's residence and the people closest to her.
"It's such a big deal, no wonder the punishment is so severe this time." Everyone understood.
"Everyone present, please stay now. The Sect Master has ordered the sect's medical practitioners to come and examine everyone."
Immediately afterwards, those who were not present received a message, asking everyone in the sect to go to the square for inspection, and all disciples who were training and doing tasks outside had to return within three days and undergo inspection.
Some people were happy because it was very expensive to hire a doctor, but this time it would be free; some people were terrified because what they had done would be discovered.
Qin Baoyao didn't know that her self-destruction would have such an effect. She could not have imagined that someone in the sect had already taken the Lingmei Pill.
At that moment, she was looking at the dark and gusty Cliff of Repentance. She raised her foot several times and then put it down again. She turned her head and looked pitifully at the head of the Law Enforcement Hall: "Fifth Master, can I request a different punishment?"
The head of the Law Enforcement Hall was stern and impartial: "No." After saying that, he kicked the hesitant person in directly, thinking: I finally got the chance. It's so hard that this little ancestor didn't make a scene this time.
Qin Baoyao, who was kicked in, was in disbelief. She stood there looking at her fifth uncle who had kicked her with an accusing look on her face.
"Master, this..." The green-robed man who had just pinned Qin Baoyao down was stunned after seeing what the master had done. "Shouldn't we just be polite? How did you really let someone in? This isn't a place for Junior Sister to stay."
"She has grown up, and it's time for her to pay the price for her mistakes. She even dared to take banned drugs. This time she was smart enough to tell it out. If she had concealed it for a moment and continued to take this stuff, she would be ruined." The head of the Law Enforcement Hall said. In fact, when this child made a mistake before, he had persuaded the sect leader and the Qin family to teach her a lesson, but they always let her off lightly. This time, she must be taught a lesson. If she continued to be so willful, not only would she be ruined, but even the sect would be implicated.
Another man in a green robe said, "Don't worry, we've all been to the Cliff of Repentance before. Although it's scary and dangerous, it won't kill anyone. Besides..."
Before he could finish his words, a man in a grass-green robe and a man in a sky-blue robe came in from the entrance and surrounded Qin Baoyao.
"...She has someone protecting her."
Qin Baoyao, who had just been hesitating and wandering at the entrance, became happy when she saw the people on both sides: "Brother, Third Brother, you are here~"
If she relies on herself, she would not dare to bravely cross the cliff of remorse.
She originally thought that the only thing she needed to do at the Cliff of Repentance was to face the wall and reflect on her mistakes, and that the environment might just be a little harsh.
As a result, I just read the rules of the Cliff of Repentance at the entrance and found out that the Cliff of Repentance in Guiyi Sect is not a simple matter of facing the wall and reflecting on your mistakes. You need to go through levels to find an exit. The difficulty is set according to the length of the penalty time. Generally speaking, the longer the penalty time, the more levels there are and the harder it is to find the exit. Moreover, if you don’t find the exit within the penalty time, you have to wait for another round.
That is to say, if she can't get out in half a month, she will have to stay for a month. If she can't get out for a month, she will have to stay for two months, and so on, until she finds an exit or the next group of people who are fined arrives.
The head of the Law Enforcement Hall who was about to leave looked back at Qin Baoyao and smiled. After all, the Cliff of Repentance would set the difficulty based on the person with the highest cultivation level among the prisoners, but it was not written in the rules. Originally, she only needed to walk forward, but now it was so difficult, so let them break through.
Qin Baoyao followed the two big guys and set off leisurely, completely unaware of how incomprehensible her self-explosive behavior was to some people.
"How could it be possible to fail? She actually disobeyed? She actually had the guts to expose this matter? It's a mess, everything is a mess." The heroine in light pink clothes in the square looked at Qin Baoyao who was pressed away. After learning that Qin Baoyao had revealed that she had taken banned drugs, she shook her head and murmured in disbelief. Then she panicked and subconsciously turned around and walked quickly out.
"Host, why are you panicking? You haven't taken any medicine." At this moment, a voice sounded angrily in her mind, "Why are you running? We can't find anything on you."
The man froze in his tracks after being scolded like that, then suddenly realized: "Yeah, why would I run? I didn't take that medicine." After thinking this, he stopped moving and stood in line, waiting for the examination.
"Yes, that's it. Stay calm and accept the examination. You have me as your golden finger, what are you afraid of?" The voice in her mind continued to reassure her.
Although the sect urgently summoned medical practitioners, even those who were refining pills were not spared, but because there were many people in Guiyi Sect and the number of medical practitioners was small, the disciples who were present and those who arrived one after another kept the medical practitioners busy until most of the night. What was not optimistic was that they actually found two other people who had taken the Lingmei Pill.
The clan leader and other elders who learned of this news were frightened and raised the level of attention to one level.
While everyone was busy here, Qin Baoyao followed her brother over there and happily accepted the so-called punishment.
Qin Jun was very powerful, and he also found his third junior brother Bu Jitong, who had been to the Cliff of Repentance several times. He thought it would be easy to take his sister through the Cliff of Repentance, but after a while, he encountered a fifth-level monster equivalent to the Spirit Transformation Stage, and there were two of them at the same time.
Qin Jun looked at the monster not far away with caution: "Ji Tong, is the Cliff of Repentance so difficult?"
Bu Jitong, still in the Golden Core stage, was caught off guard by the monster's might and was left vomiting blood. Fortunately, Qin Baoyao, who was beside him, was very understanding and immediately stuffed him with a pill. After a moment's rest, he replied cautiously, "No, the last time I was here, I only encountered a third-level monster."
However, what puzzled him was that the two fifth-level monsters were less than ten meters away from them, but they did not seem to discover their traces at the first time. Thinking of this, he asked casually.
Qin Baoyao chuckled and pointed at the talisman that had just been quickly attached to his arm, feeling particularly proud. "This is a Level 6 Invisibility Talisman. My brother gave it to me."
