Chapter 1335: Jiu Luo’s Protection III
“His crime must be punished!”
Gu Shi’s face was expressionless, his voice cold and indifferent.
Jiu Luo trembled and growled, “Gu Shi, you…”
“Jiu Luo, god watches over us. You didn’t just sign a contract back then, you’ve made an oath to Tian Ya. Some people don’t believe in oaths and break them. I’m sure no one knows better than you what will happen in the end.”
‘He is talking about you, not us.’
After all, Gu Shi was not even the chief manor back then. He only got this position after the previous chief manor was killed, so this matter naturally had nothing to do with him.
Jiu Luo trembled. “He’s my son! What do you want me to do with him?”
Gu Shi glanced at Jiu Luo and laughed. “I remember… One of the guardians of Deities Gate once tried to cover up his disciples as well. After that… Tsk tsk, that was a tragic end. Otherwise, Zong Fu wouldn’t have punished Gu Zhenyang by locking him up for three years after discovering that he had messed up a kingdom.”
In Gu Shi’s opinion, three years was too short.
However, the mistake Gu Zhenyang made was not very serious, so he could only sentence him to three years.
He had heard that among the oaths that Tian Ya had forced them to make back then was about the three major forces.
He had commanded the three strongest forces in the reclusive world to be the enforcers to protect this world. If these forces tried to protect any person who had broken the rules, they would die without a proper burial!
After all…
There were too many people in the reclusive world.
It was too hard to get them to take the oath one by one. Moreover, Tian Ya was also busy, and he could not manage it alone for so many years. So, he targeted the three major forces to handle this matter. No one found out about Jiu Yue’s crime, so he did not receive any punishment.
Zong Fu punished Gu Zhenyang back then because he had made a big mess during the assembly. Moreover, Zong Fu believed in this rule, and he did not want to harm himself for Gu Zhenyang.
Human nature was inherently selfish. Zong Fu could turn a blind eye when it was not connected to him. But, he could not let them go once he knew that he would be dragged down with them.
Fortunately, he had let that woman go…
Otherwise, when Nan Xian appeared, he would not have taken only Gu Zhenyang away… even Zong Fu would be dragged down then.
Then, he might end up like Gu Zhenyang… dead without a proper burial.
Zong Fu cleared his throat. “Gate Master Jiu, what Gu Shi said is right, you…”
“Shut up!!!”
Jiu Luo and Gu Shi suddenly turned around, yelling angrily.
Zong Fu was startled and he seemed to be somewhat uncomfortable.
“You don’t have any right to speak here. Your Divine Herbs Sect isn’t all that nice either. So much so even someone like Qin Fei’er can be taken in as your adoptive daughter.” Gu Shi sneered, one corner of his mouth tugged up into a very sarcastic smile.
Jiu Luo grew even more furious. He had helped Zong Fu just now, but Zong Fu was stabbing him in his back!
How could he tolerate that?
Zong Fu ignored Gu Shi and turned to Jiu Luo. His face darkened. “Gate Master Jiu, this is not a good idea. I’m trying to help you now. I don’t want you to break the oath you have made back then just to protect Jiu Luo.”
Initially, Zong Fu thought that Jiu Luo would be able to suppress these people. But, he did not expect Jiu Luo to be bullied by a pot until he did not even have the strength to bear it anymore. To him, Jiu Luo was simply a paper tiger now.
Thus, he became even more fearless toward Jiu Luo.
Jiu Luo was so angry that he was about to explode. His eyes were red with rage. “I won’t punish my son even if I have to break the rules today!”
