Chapter 28.2
When Qing Yangzi walked into the lobby, Ye Chen didn’t get up to salute but sat on the chair with the old man. Not only that, but when he spoke, he had no intention of saluting, as if it was not the sect master who was in front of him, but a person of his peers.
Qing Yangzi couldn’t help thinking secretly, that maybe the issue of etiquette and upbringing of the disciples of the third branch should be taken seriously.
Just as he was thinking, the old man suddenly patted the table again, shouted at Qing Yangzi, and asked, “Qing Yangzi, I asked you if you were guilty, why didn’t you answer?”
Qing Yangzi frowned slightly and asked with some displeasure, “I don’t know what I’m guilty of?”
The old man sneered and said, “You have three crimes. The first crime is not distinguishing between loyalty and treachery, not distinguishing right from wrong, and using sect equipment for private use. The second crime is neglecting one’s duties, being a vegetarian, being lazy, and not thinking about making progress. The third crime is not knowing people well, and letting your lineage hold all the power. By the way, now I have to add one more: disrespecting the elders, this is the fourth crime! You committed these four major crimes, why are you still saying yo are not guilty?”
Qing Yangzi: “…”
Is there something wrong with this old man?
The old man came up with four crimes, but except for the last one, which barely made sense, the other three were simply inexplicable, and he didn’t know where to start.
Qing Yangzi was wondering what the problem was, and when he saw Ye Chen’s unintentional complacency, he immediately understood.
