Who else could be shouting "Wait" besides Tang Liu?

  When Mu Junwu stood up, Tang Ji thought that Hua Rou's punishment had been reduced by half, and the hand covering Tang Liu's mouth loosened.

  The result was that Tang Liu's bright voice with a sentence "wait" made him speechless, and when Tang Liu said "it's okay, let me go" while trying to pry open the hands blocking his waist, he let go.

  Since it can't be stopped, then don't stop it.

  "This forbidden land, how could these two newcomers know? It was I who told Mu Jun that it's more secluded and quiet there." Tang Liu'er arrived in the courtyard with a smile on her face amidst everyone's attention: "Grandma, if you want to punish, you should include me too. Share the beating, share it."

  He finished speaking, ignoring the surprise of the crowd and not caring that Grandma had not yet expressed her opinion. He went straight to Tang Jian's side: "I'm twenty years old, Mu Jun is twenty years old, Hua Rou is a girl, ten years will do."

  Tang Jian cut off Bai Lao's Tang Liu two eyes, just about to speak, Tang Ji also walked out.

  Grandma saw him come out and immediately scowled, displeased, saying: "What are you coming out for again?"

  "I should be punished for not taking good care of Liu Er as well."

  "Sixth Brother! You..." Tang Liu's eyes widened in shock as he turned around, but before he could finish speaking, Grandma's cane had already slammed onto the ground: "What nonsense is this! Do you know what kind of place a prison is?"

  Tang Jing said nothing, but simply stood beside Tang Liu. This silent move made Grandma so angry that she shouted loudly: "Beat them! Beat them all! Twenty strokes for each person, no one is allowed to run away! After beating, make them kneel for an hour!"

  Grandma was extremely angry, she really didn't expect that Tang Ji, who had always been quiet and unassuming, would also get involved!

  Do you still want Tangmen's rules?

  Has she lost her dignity as the host of this house?

  Grandma stormed off with a huff, while Tang Xiao looked at Hua Rou with a pang of heartache...

  "Xiao'er!" His grandmother's angry voice urged him on, and although he was worried about Hua Rou, he had his own things to attend to. He hastily followed his grandmother out of the prison hall.

  Grandma walked away, and Tang Jiuer left without any hesitation, as if she was not the one being punished.

  It's hard to watch people suffer, but these people don't give him a chance at all. Tang Lei naturally didn't want to stay here without getting any satisfaction.

  "We're leaving." He flung his sleeve over Tang Feiyan and headed out, Tang Feiyan following her father's footsteps, but couldn't help turning back to glance at Hua Rou with a gaze full of resentment.

  Hua Rou, wait for me!

  She witnessed Tang Xiao's gaze at Hua Rou, and clearly saw that he almost helped Hua Rou out of the siege, which filled her heart with sourness and resentment.

  The flute is mine, whoever dares to snatch it from me, I'll kill him!

  At this moment, she hated Hua Rou extremely and regarded her as an enemy.

  "One person under twenty, take the penalty!"

  The master of the house and two other owners have left, Tang Zhan no longer needs to take action himself. The four disciples of the Criminal Department came forward, each holding a whip to flog.

  The whip in the torture chamber was made of cowhide, and a single lash could tear open the skin.

  "Ah!" The whip came down, and Tang Liu let out a loud cry. However, unlike him, the other three were different: Hua Rou clenched her teeth and endured in silence, only letting out a muffled hum, while Mu Junwu and Tang Ji didn't even make a sound.

  Tang Liu's ancestors were probably born in the year of the cicada, fond of fighting. As soon as he saw Mu Jun Wu, he suddenly closed his mouth and didn't make a sound. Although his face twitched with each lash, he still bit back his cries.

  Four disciples, without any reservations, were genuinely exerting themselves in flogging, the entire courtyard of the prison only had the crisp sound of whips tearing flesh, that sound was clearly painful, but precisely because of their four silent faces, it felt even more comical.

  The disciples who were watching had some who admired him extremely, and others whose interest was lukewarm. They began to leave in twos and threes.

  Zi Qi's originally handsome face had turned pale with a hint of purple.

  She didn't leave, she just wanted to stay and see Hua Rou's suffering, but... she not only didn't see Hua Rou's suffering, but also couldn't see Mu Junwu's regret. And every time the whip fell, it was as if a slap landed on her face, whipping her self-esteem and mocking her pride.

  Zi Qi looked more and more angry, the more she looked, the more unbearable it was. After twenty lashes of the whip had not yet finished, she couldn't hold on anymore and turned her head to leave. Zi Hua hastily followed behind her as they left together. After that, even more people began to disperse in boredom.

  "Kneel for an hour as punishment!"

  The flogging ended, and the four men knelt down to receive their punishment.

  "Ah yo yo......" Tang Liu'er couldn't help but cry out as he knelt down, while Hua Rou's face contorted in pain, but she bit her lips tightly and refused to make a sound.

  As for Mu Junwu and Tang Ji, the two of them were like wooden sticks that didn't feel pain, not only were they quiet, but they didn't even move an eyebrow.

  "The rules of the Tang Sect are not just for show, you'd better reflect on yourselves!" Tang Zhan threw out this sentence and left.

  Kneeling wasn't much to look at, and the few remaining disciples in the yard also left. The whole yard was now empty except for the four of them.

  "I'm sorry." Hua Ruo's eyes welled up with hot tears as she sincerely apologized: "It's all my fault, I've brought trouble to you..."

  "None of your business!" Tang Liu shouted loudly with his head held high: "This is a heroic rescue, and besides, it was I who told you that there was a forbidden area in the back mountain..."

  He said, his eyes glanced at Mu Junwu, thinking he would see a grateful expression, but instead, it was still that cold and icy face, and for a moment, he lost the interest to continue speaking, and so he shut up.

  The story ended abruptly without a conclusion.

  Tang Jian fell silent and glanced at Tang Liu for a moment before lowering his eyes.

  For a moment, the courtyard was quiet and silent, with an inexplicable sense of awkwardness.

  At this moment, Mu Jun suddenly spoke up, looking at Hua Rou with a calm and gentle voice: "We entered the Tang Gate together, and naturally we will share the burden of any matter that arises!"

  Tears burst forth from Hua Rou's eyes as she exclaimed, "Well said! That's exactly how I feel about Ji Ge!" Tang Liu'er, who had just calmed down, clapped his hands excitedly and chimed in, "I'm the same way too!"

  He said, getting excited and taking a few steps forward on his knees, suddenly changing the four people from standing in a line to surrounding him: "Ji Ge and I were also together when we first entered the Tang Gate, we were inseparable brothers during our time as outer disciples, if it wasn't for..."

  Tang Jian stretched out his hand and grabbed Tang Liu's two ears, shaking his head gently at him.

  "It's nothing, we're not outsiders!" Tang Liu's emotions were very agitated: "If I didn't really have the skills of my brother, and was particularly good at firearms, I would never separate from my brother! However..."

  Tang Liu stretched out his hand and hooked Tang Ji's arm over his shoulder: "Even if we're not in the same house, we still share everything!" He smiled at Mu Qunwu again: "Just because of this sentence, plus the heroic rescue earlier, I'm willing to be your brother!"

  Tang Liu stretched out another hand towards Mu Junwu: "Let's be friends!"
