"Yes."
As soon as the elders heard him confess to stealing something from the alchemy garden, they gasped.
The alchemy garden was one of the forbidden lands in the sect that not everyone was given permission to enter. Only elders were allowed in it to pick the ingredients previously, but even that had changed.
Now the elders were only allowed to care for the garden, and not pick up anything. That task was apparently given to the sect leader's new disciple. The elders didn't know if that was the right choice, but they heard nothing but praise from Elder Wang and Elder Zhan who took care of it now.
So, when they heard that Song Zun had entered the alchemy garden to steal ingredients from it, they knew there was no pardoning him.
Ma Rong was starting to get angry. "Why did you steal the ingredients and not buy it?" she asked.
