Chapter 420 The Great Elder is Punished
"Alright, stop making a fuss. We're doing this in public, so please be mindful of the impact."
As Yun Jizhou spoke, he glared at Yun Yulin unhappily, signaling him to let go of Su Qingyu quickly.
Yun Yulin felt so wronged, he was clearly the victim! But his grandfather favored his younger cousin, and he didn't dare to disobey his grandfather's orders.
"Hey, I'm going to let you go, and you're not allowed to talk nonsense anymore, do you hear me?"
Yun Yulin thought that his expression was quite fierce, but he had no idea that in Su Qingyu's eyes, he looked like a pitiful little thing and had no deterrent power at all.
Perhaps he felt that bullying him was pointless! Su Qingyu nodded obediently to indicate that he had heard.
Seeing this, Yun Yulin reluctantly let go of Su Qingyu. However, before letting go, he leaned close to Su Qingyu's ear and whispered in a threatening voice, "Remember to give me the antidote, otherwise, I will never let you go."
Su Qingyu raised an eyebrow and pretended to be stupid: "What antidote? I don't understand what you are talking about."
"you……"
Yun Yulin only said the word "you" and received a warning look from his grandfather. He was angry but dared not say anything. He could only shut his mouth and stare at Su Qingyu with resentment.
You little bastard, just wait, I’m not done with you.
Yun Yulin secretly swore in his heart that he would seek revenge for today's incident by Su Qingyu in the future, but he really overestimated his own strength. Some people were born to defeat him.
Seeing that Yun Yulin and Su Qingyu had stopped making noise, Yun Jizhou withdrew his gaze. Then, he looked at the Great Elder and asked in a cold voice, "Great Elder, what exactly happened? Shouldn't you give this Patriarch an explanation?"
Hearing Yun Jizhou asking him to explain, Yun Zhen's face darkened. He remembered that Yun Yulin had just asked him to think carefully about how to explain to Yun Jizhou, and how he responded at that time. He seemed to be very tough and said that he didn't need to explain.
At this moment, Yun Zhen also wanted to say that he didn't need to explain, but he had not yet completely controlled the Yun family, and he could not break off with Yun Jizhou.
Therefore, Yun Zhen could only suppress his emotions and explained aggrievedly, "Master, these people were crying and making a scene in front of our Yun family for no reason. I was just trying to kindly persuade them to leave."
"Kindly persuading them to leave? The Great Elder must have been wrong!" Yun Yulin walked out from behind Su Qingyu and looked at Yun Zhen with a mocking look. "I remember that the Great Elder raised his foot and was about to kick the weak woman behind you!"
Hearing this, Yun Jizhou's expression suddenly turned cold. He looked at Yun Zhen coldly and asked, "Great Elder, is what Lin'er said true?"
Yun Zhen glared at Yun Yulin angrily, and he almost wanted to tear the other person's mouth apart.
"Master, the Third Young Master was mistaken. I just had a leg cramp and was stretching it. I didn't mean to kick anyone."
Anyone with a bit of common sense would know that Yun Zhen was just making this up. What leg cramps? That's so funny. She's not a pregnant woman, how could she get cramps for no reason?
Moreover, the meridians of every person who practices cultivation have already been unblocked, so there is no possibility of cramps at all.
"Chi~"
Yun Yulin scoffed and said sarcastically, "Great Elder, even if you have to make up an excuse, at least make one that's decent! Do you really think we're all fools? Anyone with eyes can tell whether you were about to kick someone or if your leg cramped, okay?"
As soon as the words fell, there were voices of agreement from all around.
"That's right, we are not blind. Elder Yun clearly wanted to kick that woman just now."
"Yes, we are not only not blind, but also not deaf. We heard every evil word that Elder Yun said clearly."
……
Hearing the discussions of the crowd, Yun Zhen's face darkened completely. He roared with a twisted expression, "Shut up! All of you, shut up! If you dare to say another word, I will kill you!"
"How dare you! The head of the family is still here, Yun Zhen, and you dare to speak wildly and threaten others. Do you still respect me as the head of the family?"
Yun Jizhou shouted angrily, looking at Yun Zhen with disappointment in his eyes, "Come here, the Great Elder's words and deeds are immoral and his moral character is lacking. Immediately lock him up in the Punishment Hall and punish him with 100 lashes as a warning to others."
As soon as he finished speaking, two guards ran out from the door.
"Great Elder, I'm sorry."
As he said that, the guard stepped forward to grab Yun Zhen's hand and take him to the punishment hall.
"Get out of here!" Yun Zhen pushed the guards away and shouted angrily, "This elder will leave on his own, humph!"
Yun Zhen glared at Yun Jizhou angrily, then walked into the Yun family with a gloomy face and headed towards the Punishment Hall.
Humph! Yun Jizhou, just wait for me!
An evil thought flashed through Yun Zhen's mind. As he walked towards the Punishment Hall, he activated the poisonous insect hidden in his sleeve, wanting to teach Yun Jizhou a lesson.
But what he didn't know was that the poison in Yun Jizhou's body had been released. No matter how he activated the mother poison, it would have no effect on Yun Jizhou. The other party would not be in as much pain as he had guessed.
As soon as Yun Zhen left, the air around them seemed to become much fresher. Those who had been driven away earlier also knelt on the ground and begged Yun Jizhou: "Master Yun, please have mercy on us and help us find our child!"
"Please, Master Yun, my child is so young, he will be scared if he is alone."
"I only have one son, Le'er. If Le'er is gone, I won't be able to live."
"Master Yun, please help me find my child! I kowtow to you."
"I kowtow to you, too."
……
In an instant, all the people who lost their children knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yun Jizhou, treating him as their life-saving straw.
Seeing this scene, Yun Jizhou was moved, but he still had his rationality. He could tell at a glance that something was wrong today. Now he was in a difficult situation. It was not right to agree or not. He was in a difficult situation.
"Everyone, please stand up. This family head feels unworthy of such a generous gift." Yun Jizhou tried to soften his tone and said, "I have already heard about your matter from the housekeeper. Let's go inside and discuss the details first."
After saying that, Yun Jizhou asked someone to invite those who had lost their children into the Yun family.
The crowd of onlookers dispersed when they saw that there was nothing exciting to watch. What they didn't notice was that one person in the crowd quietly left with a calculating look on his face, and then went to the Liu family.
A quarter of an hour later, in the front hall of the Yun family, Yun Jizhou learned the details of the situation.
"So, your child was still there last night, but disappeared when you woke up?" Yun Jizhou frowned slightly and asked, "Have you looked for him in every corner of the house, or in places where children usually go?"
"We've looked everywhere," a woman cried. "We haven't found him at home or in the places the children usually go. We're really at our wit's end, so we came to the Yun family to help."
Hearing the woman's words, the faces of the Yun family members present became solemn. They remembered the disappearance of Yun Xiaohan and Yun Xiaochen a while ago.
Could it be that this is another evil cultivator who uses children to practice? If this is true, then they have to find those children quickly, otherwise, it will be too late.
"Please rest assured, my Yun family will do our best to help you find your missing children." Yun Jizhou promised.
"Thank you, Master Yun. Thank you, Master Yun." Everyone expressed their gratitude.
But Yun Jizhou was not fooled by the grateful looks of the people before him. He knew that if those children were not found or something happened to them, the Yun family would be the first to bear the brunt and be blamed by everyone.
Even though he knew that this matter would do more harm than good to the Yun family, Yun Jizhou could not sit idly by. After all, those children were living beings, and he could not just watch them die without helping them.
"Xuan'er, take your men to the homes of those missing children and search them carefully to see if you can find any clues."
"Yes, grandson will go right away."
Yun Yuxuan stood up and walked to the center of the hall. He looked at the people who came to the Yun family for help and said, "Everyone, please come in!"
Looking at the backs of Yun Yuxuan and those people leaving, Su Qingning and Mo Lintian looked at each other tacitly.
"Do you want to go and take a look?" Mo Lintian asked.
Su Qingning nodded and said, "Let's go."
As soon as the two finished speaking, before others could react, they felt two figures, one black and one blue, flash past before their eyes, and then Su Qingning and Mo Lintian disappeared.
……
At the same time, in the Liu family's study, there were still those three people.
"Your Excellency the Holy Son, the Yun family has fallen into a trap." Liu Boshan raised a cunning smile on his face.
"Very good." Ling Xiaohan nodded in satisfaction, with the same cunning smile on his face, "We can start the next step of the plan."
"Yes, understand."
Liu Boshan and his son Liu Yanshu looked at each other, and a hint of viciousness flashed in the eyes of both father and son.
The Yun family is doomed this time, hahahaha...
That’s right, the sudden disappearance of children in Fengling City was caused by Ling Xiaohan asking the Liu family to do it, and everything they did was just to frame the Yun family and make the Yun family step into their trap step by step.
On the other side, Yun Yuxuan had brought people to search the homes of those missing children one by one, but unfortunately, they did not find any clues.
"Strange..." Yun Yuxuan frowned, "How come there are no clues at all?"
"Master, what should we do?" a guard asked. "We don't have any clues. Where should we look?"
"This is really strange. So many children were missing, but their families didn't find out until the next day. Didn't anyone see the thief last night?" another guard asked in confusion.
At this time, Yun Yuxuan and the others were parked in front of the last house. He turned around and glanced at the closed door thoughtfully, and said in a deep voice: "Alright, let's stop discussing this. Let's go back first."
After he finished speaking, Yun Yuxuan took his men away. Not long after they left, two figures walked out from the corner.
"Lintian, what do you think?"
That’s right, these two people were Su Qingning and Mo Lintian who had followed secretly. While Yun Yuxuan and others were looking for clues, the two of them hid aside and observed silently.
"It's obvious that they're acting very cautiously. Perhaps they've already made plans," Mo Lintian said. "Whether it's the child's disappearance or the request for help from the Yun family, it seems like it was all planned in advance. Perhaps even the Yun family's agreement to help find the child was part of their plan."
With every word Mo Lintian spoke, Su Qingning's face became colder. How could she not know that what happened today was a trap set by someone for the Yun family? However, she didn't know what the other party wanted to do with these children.
"Xiao Ning'er, have you guessed who is plotting against the Yun family?" Mo Lintian asked.
Su Qingning's lips curled up in an icy arc, and she said coldly, "The Yun family is now facing internal and external troubles. The Great Elder covets the position of family head, and the Liu family and the Divine Temple are eyeing them covetously. If we were to say who is most likely to plot against the Yun family, these three parties are the most suspicious."
"However, judging from the reaction of the Great Elder today, this matter may have nothing to do with him."
Mo Lintian nodded in agreement. Indeed, Yun Zhen's actions today had left him with a bad reputation in front of everyone in Fengling City. Even if he wanted to be the head of the Yun family again, he would not be stupid enough to damage his own reputation. Besides, there was no benefit for him in plotting against the Yun family. He should not do such a stupid thing that would harm others and himself.
"A few days ago, Liu Nanjiang said that the Liu family had secretly contacted the temple. After that, there were unusual movements in the temple, and my father had to leave Fengling City and return to Xuanjian Sect to take charge. Now, a large number of children have suddenly disappeared in Fengling City. Moreover, the victims happened to come to the Yun family for help. These things are too coincidental to make people suspicious." Su Qingning analyzed calmly.
Mo Lintian: "Xiao Ning'er, do you suspect that this was a conspiracy between the Liu family and the Temple?"
"It's hard not to be suspicious, isn't it?"
Su Qingning said this, looking far away in the direction of the Liu family. Mo Lintian noticed it and asked, "Do you want to go to the Liu family to check the situation?"
"No," Su Qingning shook her head gently and said, "Wait until dark."
Mo Lintian nodded. It was a dark and windy night. He understood.
……
At the Yun family, after Yun Yuxuan reported the search results, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became silent and solemn.
After a while, Yun Yijing couldn't help but ask, "How come there are no clues? We don't even have any direction. Where should we go to find him?"
The others were clueless. Yun Yimo frowned and pondered for a moment before slowly speaking, "For some reason, I feel like today's incident is incredibly strange. Why would those people turn to our Yun family for help?"
"Yeah, it's a bit strange indeed." Yun Yifeng nodded in agreement, "It's as if someone deliberately set up a trap for our Yun family."
"What? Someone deliberately set up a trap for our Yun family?" Yun Yulin exclaimed, "How could this happen? Who wants to harm our Yun family?"
Hearing Yun Yulin's words, Su Qingyu rolled his eyes speechlessly. He said with a tone of disgust: "Third cousin, I know you are not smart, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid."
"Hey, you little brat..." Yun Yulin glared angrily, "Who are you calling stupid?"
