Family Punishment
The main hall of the Yun family was silent for a long time.
Even when they heard the news of Yun Jie's death, they didn't feel so depressed.
Everyone knew about the demon bear's ferocity. There were so many scholars in the Bloodlight Ancient Lands, but they were still suppressed by the demon bear.
From the tone of these three people, the Yun family was going to fight to the death. This wasn't good news.
There were too many families in the Blood Alliance Ancient Land, and they had their ups and downs. Half of the families that had fallen in the frontline cities had died in battle.
All the families that went out to fight the demon bear had fallen.
In the past, a peerless genius had appeared in the Bloodlight Ancient Lands. He was one of the four great scholars in the history of the Bloodlight Ancient Lands. He was even invited by the Notre-Dame to strengthen his foundation in the Saint Origin World. The Half-saint would naturally eliminate the danger of him coming from the Bloodlight Ancient Lands.
However, that peerless genius decided to deal with the demon bear in the Bloodlight Ancient Lands before going to the Notre-Dame. Unfortunately, he failed and died on the battlefield.
Not long ago, another genius had appeared in the Wei family. He was now a scholar and was preparing to launch a second expedition to the west. He wanted to walk the path of his ancestors and become the brightest star in the Bloodlight Ancient Lands.
That genius fought step by step from the backlines to the frontline cities and became the city lord of New Guard City. He was famous even among the demon bear race.
Not long ago, Yun He and Yun Hu had said that if Wei Huang didn't realize his mistake, he would follow the path of his ancestors and die.
Today, the two of them were going to do the same thing for a dead person. The rest of the Yun family couldn't accept this.
"Since no one objects, then it's decided! For this expedition to the west, all scholars over the age of eighteen must participate! "Patriarch Yun He said.
Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect Yun He to be so crazy.
"Oh? The Old Man noticed that some people are dissatisfied. Come out and say it. "Yun He raised his head and looked coldly at the others in the main hall.
A middle-aged scholar cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Patriarch, it's not that I don't want to go, but Little Cui is in labor. If I don't stay and die in battle, I'm afraid I won't even be able to see the child. Why don't I stay and wait for the child to be born? I'll go find you immediately. How about that? "
Yun He frowned and hesitated.
The other members of the Yun family looked at Yun He expectantly. If Yun He could tolerate one, he would definitely tolerate the second.
Sitting beside Yun He, Yun Hu suddenly sneered. He said, "Little Hong, I've watched you grow up. Everyone in the Yun family wants to go, but you insist on staying. Aren't you treating the Yun family as your home? Let me ask you again, do you really not want to go? "
Yun Hong hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "It is indeed inconvenient for me. Please forgive me, Uncle."
Yun Hu suddenly slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Uncle? Do you still see me as your uncle? Two years ago. What did you tell Old Han on the street about me? Ah! You think I don't know? For the peace of the Yun Family, the Old Man tolerated it. But today, the Old Man asks you, according to the family rules, how should you be punished for insulting your elders? "
Yun Ao stood up abruptly and stared at Yun Hong as he said, "The Yun Family's rules state that those who contradict their elders will be whipped thirty times! Those who insult their elders. Cut off one of his arms! If he did not repent, he would be executed on the spot! Yun Hong, let me ask you, have you ever insulted my father? "
Fang Yun knew that the family rules of the Bloodawn Ancient Land were very strict. However, he did not expect it to be so strict. The so-called insulting of elders was probably just cursing behind their backs. Even the strictest laws would not be so severe.
Yun Hong's face was red, and cold sweat flowed down his forehead. He knelt on the ground and said with his head lowered, "This nephew is unfilial. Because of a moment of impulse, I cursed you in front of outsiders. Uncle, please be magnanimous and forgive this nephew's unintentional mistake. "
"It's too late! Yun Ao, carry out the punishment for me! "
Yun Hu had just finished speaking when Yun Ao spat out his tongue. A silver light flashed and swept past Yun Hong's right shoulder.
Half of Yun Hong's right shoulder fell off, and blood spurted out.
Fang Yun could even see the beating internal organs from the wound.
Yun Hong screamed and hurriedly used his Qi to stop the bleeding. He gritted his teeth, and his face was pale.
"The punishment is over. Get lost!" Yun Ao said without any trace of politeness.
Yun Hong gritted his teeth and left without saying a word.
None of the Yun family members objected.
Fang Yun suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
His arm was cut off just because he cursed at someone. Compared to the family rules of the Bloodawn Ancient Land, even the most extreme cases in Ning An County could not compare.
The most terrifying thing was that the family rules were not supervised by any power. It was completely decided by the person in charge. It was bound to go out of control!
Man was the spirit of all living things. The human race was the most intelligent, but they also had uncontrollable selfishness.
Most of the time, selfishness could push the human race forward. However, most of the time, humans had to restrain their selfishness. Otherwise, they would be no different from beasts.
In a family that followed the family rules, there was nothing that could restrain some people's selfishness. There was not even a power to balance it. This was the most terrifying aspect of the family rules.
When Yun Ao made his move, Fang Yun felt that Yun Hong was not a member of the Yun family, but a slave of the Yun family.
Only a slave master would be so strict.
Fang Yun realized that it was no wonder that people said that the family rules were born out of slavery. It was no wonder that even Kong Sheng only mentioned the good parts of the family rules and did not mention the evil parts.
Later on, even the Hall of Rites did not mention the family rules. At most, they would ask the Punishment Hall to reduce the sentence of those who covered up for each other.
Fang Yun scanned the crowd and realized that most of them were indifferent. It was obvious that they were used to this kind of thing.
There were also a few people who sneered at Yun Hong's back. Only a few people were slightly angry.
In Fang Yun's eyes, Yun He was a kind old man. The fact that he gave him half of the Dragon Grain Rice field without hesitation was the best proof. However, such a person did not feel any pity when he saw Yun Hu's heavy hand. Instead, he felt that it was right to cut off his arm.
Yun He glanced at Fang Yun and said, "Next, I would like to introduce my son's good friend, Yun Fang Yun, who is also a member of our family. Although he is young, he is deeply trusted by Yun Jie. In the future, you must get along well with this Grand Scholar of our family. You must treat him as a member of our family!"
"Yes!" Everyone in the Yun family agreed. Unexpectedly, no one mentioned that they did not want to participate in the expedition.
Yun Ao looked at Fang Yun carefully and did not say anything.
Next, Yun Hu, who was in charge of the expedition, explained some specific requirements. It was late at night that everyone left.
The next morning, Fang Yun observed Wen Gong again. This was the fourth day since they entered the Bloodlight Ancient Land. Wen Gong and his mood did not change at all.
After breakfast, Fang Yun walked out to learn more about the Bloodlight Ancient Land. However, he met Yun Ao who was walking towards him.
Fang Yun looked at Yun Ao carefully. He was tall and had a faint red light in his eyes. It was as if he always had a mocking expression on his face.
"Greetings, cousin." Yun Ao smiled and cupped his hands. His movements were slightly frivolous.
"Good morning, cousin Yun Ao," Fang Yun said.
"I have something to discuss. Why don't we go back to your courtyard?" Yun Ao said.
"Okay." Fang Yun turned around and went back to his courtyard.
