Chapter 37: Taming Bai Fenghua.
"Good! Good! You are indeed a good son no matter what others say..." Elder Wu nodded.
The elders also agreed that giving a proper burial to the deceased members of the family was important, and they should not let their bodies be exposed for too long, creating a spectacle for others to see.
Their family isn’t a circus meant for the entertainment of others.
Thus, they decided to delay the discussion about Bai Huan and Bai Long’s matter for the moment and focus on arranging the burial for the Patriarch and his son.
However, Bai Huan shall still be punished today without any food and confined to the basement, and tomorrow morning before the sun rises, he shall be judged in the family ancestral hall.
Plotting against one’s blood is a grave sin, leading to the label of "black sheep," and he shall be kicked out of the house after being whipped 99 times.
Well, that’s how a black sheep is treated, but there is more to the story, and it’s not the right moment to discuss it, so they shall continue this discussion tomorrow.
As for why judge in the morning!?
Judging in the morning is a family tradition in the cultivation world, practiced for a long period of time.

The rest of the day was spent preparing for the proper burial. The Bai family members worked together to make the necessary arrangements, and the elders took charge of ensuring that everything was done according to the traditions and customs of the Bai family.
The tradition of the Bai family is not harsh; the deceased are donned in black and white clothing, with their eyes covered by grey fabric, symbolizing that death does not differentiate between the black and white of the world but only recognizes the grey.
