Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 1277: Favor Used Up

Chapter 1277: Chapter 1277: Favor Used Up

Hearing Ge Lanxue’s words, Ge Lun’s heart skipped a beat. He was previously certain that Ye You would not kill him, but now, he was no longer sure.

Qin Sisi continued to ask, "When the Nine Great Families besieged Wang City of Feng Song, Chief Gelun disobeyed His Royal Highness’s orders and refused to go forth to assist. How should this be punished?"

Ge Lanxue’s face was bloodless, and her lips trembled as she replied, "Disobedience to orders, death without pardon."

Ge Lun’s heart skipped another beat, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and a bad premonition arose spontaneously.

Qin Sisi once again calmly said, "The last question, Teacher Ge Lanxue, you can discuss with your clansn before answering. How many lives from the Qing Ming Family do you think Ya Ning’s life-saving grace to the Sage Ruler can exchange for? Does it an that no matter what wrongs the Qing Ming Family commits, the Sage Ruler must unconditionally forgive you all?"

Ge Lanxue lowered her head and said nothing; even the greatest kindness would eventually be used up. Ge Lun had long since exhausted Ya Ning’s kindness with his repeated provocations of Ye You.

Seeing Ge Lanxue not responding for a long ti, Qin Sisi no longer waited, as everyone around had already heard.

She turned around and knelt on one leg before Ye You, loudly pleading, "Your Majesty, three years ago, Ge Lun attacked

at Taiyi Mountain, causing

severe injuries. It was with the help of General Xia Long of the Changkong family that I survived. Please, Your Majesty, take charge for

and punish the perpetrator severely."

Ye You stood up from the throne, walked up to Qin Sisi, helped her up, and loudly said, "You are my fiancée, of course, I will stand up for you. Tell , who attacked you?"

Qin Sisi pointed at Ge Lun and said loudly, "It was him."

"Don’t falsely accuse , do you have evidence?" Ge Lun retorted guiltily.

Qin Sisi imdiately replied, "Yes, the evidence is on your leg."

Her gaze swept over the faces of the audience one by one, and she loudly explained, "At that ti, I struggled desperately, biting Ge Lun’s leg with snake venom, leaving a tooth mark on his calf."

Ye You had long known about this matter. At this mont, he diligently played along with Qin Sisi, ordering Ge Lun, "Ge Lun, roll up your trouser leg."

Ge Lun hesitated, not daring to move. If he had sought soone proficient in healing arts to help detoxify and heal the wound imdiately upon return, it might have healed completely. However, fearing exposure of the assassination attempt on Qin Sisi, he dared not let anyone know, relying only on his magic to heal. The venom was extrely potent, and without proficiency in healing arts, his healing pace was very slow, leaving a scar.

Whenever he went out, he dressed ticulously to avoid showing this tooth mark. He couldn’t fathom how Ye You and Qin Sisi knew the tooth mark was still there.

Ge Lun was utterly baffled, with beads of sweat falling like peas.

Ye You’s eyes narrowed, releasing a hint of magical power that struck Ge Lun’s trouser leg, shattering it directly.

Ge Lun’s calf was exposed. It was dayti, a clear sunny day, and everyone around could see it. Indeed, there was a dark red mark on one of Ge Lun’s legs.

"Ge Lun, how do you explain this?" Ye You questioned coldly.

"I..." Cold sweat dripped from Ge Lun, his initial composure finally disappeared.

"Your Majesty, though I am resentful towards Ge Lun, for the sake of Patroness Gewan, I am willing to forgive him this ti." Qin Sisi said sothing shocking again.

Everyone around was dumbfounded, looking at her. She had gone in circles, expending so much effort, and was she leaving her endeavors in vain like this? Just forgiving? Not pursuing it?

"I respect your choice." Ye You looked at Qin Sisi gently, speaking in a low voice.

Then, he turned to Ge Lun, his expression becoming serious, and sternly said, "Now, let’s talk about the second matter. When I was most in need of help, you refused to dispatch troops, making

look foolish and creating dilemma after dilemma. You even sent people to secretly deal with the Panhu family’s guards, plotting mischief, showing poor conduct, and disobeying orders."

The other mbers of the Qing Ming Family were speechless, even they felt Ge Lun was truly too wicked and deserved to die.

Ge Lun’s face was extrely ugly, gradually figuring out the intent behind Ye You and Qin Sisi’s orchestrated act.

Soon, Ye You softened his tone and said, "Senior Yaning has a life-saving grace to ; for her sake, I can forgive your second grave mistake too."

Forgiven the first ti for the sake of Gewan; forgiven the second ti for the sake of Yaning; but what about the third ti?

Sure enough, Ye You narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a low voice, "Now, the favors of Gewan and Yaning are exhausted. For the third grave mistake you’ve committed, how do you want

to forgive you?"

Neither Ge Lun nor any mber of the Qing Ming Family could find suitable words to answer Ye You. The Qing Ming Family had always harbored ill intentions, repeatedly making grave mistakes; why should they expect Ye You to forgive them ti after ti?

"The Sage Ruler is rciful. Ge Lun is ultimately the leader of the Qing Ming Family and the cousin of the forr patroness. Considering the significant contributions he’s made before, please show rcy and spare his life, Your Majesty." Chief Puchen stepped forward respectfully suggesting.

He had no ulterior motives, rely speaking on the rits of the situation.

Ye You did have a wish to spare Ge Lun’s life, provided that Ge Lun would no longer pose any danger.

After a brief contemplation, he loudly announced, "Ge Lun has repeatedly made grave mistakes, unforgivable by any account. However, considering his past rits, his life will be spared, his position as clan leader revoked, the Magic Source abolished, and demoted to a commoner."

The crowd fell silent instantly, all eyes on Ge Lun, this once lofty clan leader, plumted from the cloud to the depths in an instant.

The guards standing by swiftly stepped forward and restrained Ge Lun’s body; he had already been administered drugs to prevent the release of magical power and was now completely unable to resist.

Yun Wang personally took action, gathering intense magical power in his palm and striking heavily at Ge Lun’s lower abdon, obliterating the Magic Source instantaneously.

Ge Lun collapsed painfully and despairingly on the ground. After a long ti, he struggled and knelt to kowtow to Ye You, hoarsely begging, "I willingly accept Your Majesty’s punishnt. My daughter, Ya Ling, is still in prison; she knows nothing of all this. I hope Your Majesty can release her."

Ye You contemplated for a mont, looked at Yun Wang and nodded. Yun Wang understood and left, soon bringing Ya Ling over.

"Father!" Seeing Ge Lun in such a sorry state, Ya Ling rushed forward, holding him while crying incessantly.

Having been raised in wealth and luxury, it was her first ti experiencing imprisonnt, and her heart was filled with terror and grievance.

"Father, what on earth happened?" Ya Ling asked in bewildernt.

Ge Lun hadn’t dared to let Ya Ling know about the assassination attempt on Qin Sisi; perhaps he had so dim premonition that so things were impossible to conceal.
