With a resigned look on his face and in a tone as if he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Ye Chenchen said, "Elder… Even if you were to give me more guts than I have right now, I wouldn't dare to punish Elder… Since you've already meted out punishment to those few ignorant fools… How about we just leave it at that… On account of us coming from the same roots…"
When he heard the words 'the same roots', Wu Juecheng's expression changed peculiarly.
Strictly speaking, they had certainly come from the same roots — Both of them had ties to the Nine Tribulations!
During this period of time, Wu Juecheng's state of mind had changed. He seemed to have let go of the past somewhat a little. At this point, when he heard these words, all sorts of feelings actually welled up in him.
With an emotional sigh, he replied, "Forget it. Since you've put it that way, this old man won't push things too far then."
Ye Chenchen thanked him incessantly.
