"Therefore, I announce that this unconscious disciple will be punished with isolation for two years. If there is no remorse after two years, it could be ten, twenty, or even a hundred years!" Elder Yang declared.
"What?!"
The crowd was shocked, exclaiming in disbelief. How could this Elder support outsiders instead of his own?
"What's wrong? Do any of you have any objections to my punishment?" Elder Yang asked, addressing the disciples around him.
Upon hearing Elder Yang's question, the disciples began to discuss among themselves, but no one voiced any objections. After all, Elder Yang was the second-in-command responsible for managing punishments, known for his strict impartiality, though he was sometimes very protective. However, this incident was unexpected for everyone; Elder Yang wasn't being protective this time.
