Chapter 854 “She is the Mysterious Judge (6)”
“Miss…” someone among the crowd meekly raises a hand, “what if someone is cheating for personal gains and is not found?”
“Good question!” Bai Yan grins at the smart individual, “I most definitely won’t allow any form of cheating under my supervision. However, I also know I cannot always be the judge of these examinations. In order to curb such things from happening in the future, anyone who discovers any unfair disadvantage is free to report it an elder of the Holy Land! If someone is found guilty of the crime then the punishment will be the same as this fool right here!”
Of course, the complaint would have to be investigated first. If found true and the person did receive a bribe, or something just as bad, the end result wouldn’t be as simple as being expelled from the Holy Land anymore. The more severe cases might even be punishment by death!
The disciples that are present all shuddered at the notion of what that warning meant. They’re all smart people if they’re able to enter this great power. So, the first thought running through their heads were to either clean up their act and cancel any plans they had prior, or to simply continue their clean hands as always for those on the righteous end.
“Qing Hong,” Bai Yan shoots a sharp stare over to this middle-aged man who’s partly responsible for the corruption, “You better look after your subordinates and students from now on. Though you aren’t personally involved in this case, but Liu Han and Lin Yahan are still under your watch. If there’s a next time, the consequences will apply to you as well….” There’s a dark undertone to that voice, leaving everyone slightly rattled and nervous.
As the old saying goes, when one wants to remove a weed, you don’t just rip off the grass on the surface, you take out the roots!
“Yes,” He cups his hand in compliance. Though Qing Hong himself may have kept a calm expression on the outside, but his back had already been drenched in sweat. “I will not let this sort of thing happen again, my name will be on this, I promise.”
“Good.” That said, Bai Yan’s attention shifts back to the foolish girl and her maid. Stirring up a smirk, “Big lady of the Fiery Flame Sect now is it?”
Nearly collapsing to the ground as her muscles went numb, Huo Yun had to cling as hard as she could to the maid in order to support herself.
“I don’t want to see the people of the Fiery Flame Sect from now on. Starting this point forward, any event organized by the Holy Land is off limits to the members of that sect!”
The order has already doomed the Fiery Flame Sect. Bai Yan may not have directly issued the destruction of that power, but the other factions and schools would surely distance themselves from them. Without connection and support, it would just be a matter of time before they decline and disappear.
Understanding the consequences of her own actios, Huo Yun’s heart grew exceptional anxious and fearful. Tearing up in the eyes, “Miss, please…. Although I used some underhanded means to come to the Holy land, I did not do anything else worthy for such harsh punishment of my school. Please have mercy and forgive us!”
If Father finds out the things I did here then he will never let me off once I go back! Misery will be the least of my worry…..
“So you’re still insisting the matter of framing me is not related to you?” Bai Yan could see the sympathetic faces that’s still siding with this lying bitch. “Let me guess, the maid still has family living at the Fiery Flame Sect, correct? Unfortunately for you though, finding out where her family is would be no more than a whim of mine. Whether or not they sink along with the Fiery Flame Sect or leave to live a new life is their choice, but don’t think for a second I will be fooled by your words or lies!”
