Chapter 3835: Family Rules
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Everyone in the Sun Family had solemn expressions on their faces. Ever since the incident the night before, no one was allowed to leave the manor because they were afraid that someone would accidentally leak the news. Therefore, other than the two people who had gone to Soaring Clouds Immortal Sect to bring Sun Wei back, unless they had the Patriarch’s token, no one was allowed to leave. Basically, no one else had even stepped out of the Sun Manor.
At this time, in the Sun family’s ancestral hall, Sun Wei, who was bound by an immortal rope and forced to kneel down, struggled with a look of disbelief on his face: “What are you doing? What are you doing?”
He thought that something had happened in the family, but he never expected to be tied up once he had arrived home. All his spirit energy was lost under the power of the immortal rope and he still didn’t know what was going on. Why were his family members treating him this way?
Standing on both sides of the ancestral hall were the clan elders and important members of the family clan. When he saw them staring at him solemnly, his heart sank and he had a bad feeling.
“Old Predecessor is here!”
There was a loud shout from outside. Everyone looked outside and saw the Sun family Old Predecessor walking in with a black wooden crutch in his hand. Following behind him was the Patriarch and the Great Elder.
“Old Predecessor, Sun Wei greets Old Predecessor.”
When he saw the Old Predecessor, Sun Wei wanted to bow immediately. However, as he was tied up, he was unable to place his hands in front of him to bow and was only able to bend his head and bow.
“Old Predecessor, what crime did I commit? Why was I treated like this the moment I returned home?” Sun Wei asked, suppressing the anger and injustice in his heart.
He firmly believed that he hadn’t done anything to disgrace his family, hence,
when he heard that something had happened to his family, he rushed back without another word. But who knew what was waiting for him when he arrived home would be them taking advantage of having the upper hand.
The Sun family Old Predecessor walked over and stood squarely in front of him, holding his crutch with both hands looking at Sun Wei who was kneeling in front of him and said: “What is the Article Seven of the Sun Family Rules?
Recite it to me.”
“Article Seven of the Sun Family Rules?” Sun Wei was startled and looked blankly at the Old Predecessor’s solemn face.
“That’s right. Article Seven.” The Old Predecessor responded, looking at Sun Wei expressionlessly.
“Article Seven of the Sun Family Rules… If you make enemies outside, you cannot bring harm to the family clan…” He murmured. But as soon as the words left his mouth, he couldn’t help but be startled and his heart skipped a beat.
“Old Predecessor, what is going on? I was treated like this when I arrived home.
Even if I have done something wrong, at least let me know what I did wrong.”
“Great Elder, you tell him why he was treated like this and why he is kneeling here.” The Old Predecessor’s old voice sounded. As it contained an intimidating pressure, no one dared to be presumptuous.
“Yes.”
The Great Elder responded respectfully and took a step forward. He looked at Sun Wei who was kneeling down and said: “You’ve made enemies outside and caused the family to suffer a great calamity because of you. Last night, five people from the Sun family were killed, and they weren’t ordinary Sun family disciples but five people from your generation.”
“What, what? How is this possible?”
Upon hearing this, he was dumbfounded for a moment: “Five people died overnight? How were they killed? Why do you say that it was because of me?”
One of the elders who was standing at the side snorted after hearing this: “How can you not be involved? There is a sentence carved on the bedpost in the Patriarch’s room.. It says that if you are not dead in three days, they will annihilate the entire Sun family!”
