Lin Ying glanced at Lin Qiaohua, understanding her great-grandmother's thoughts. She remained silent for a moment, then slowly said, "The three of them took advantage of the chaos to become treacherous cultivators, plundering a lot of resources and offending many cultivators, all of which they suppressed with Lu Yang's name. However, since they didn't directly kill anyone, they still have some conscience. They can be spared the death penalty, but they can't escape punishment... Their cultivation will be crippled, preventing them from continuing to cultivate, making them mortals to live out their lives. Great-grandmother, what do you think of this punishment?"

Upon hearing this, the other cultivators from the Lin family showed a look of pity in their eyes. However, none of them spoke up to persuade or plead for the three. The other crimes were not so bad, but the main problem was that they had used Young Master Lu's name. If they pleaded for them, they were afraid that Young Master Lu would remember them.

Lin Qiaohua nodded softly and said, "Let's do it your way."

Lin Feiyang and Lin Qi's eyes widened upon hearing Lin Ying's words, their expressions filled with fear and dread.

They knew they might face severe punishment, but they never expected it to be this severe!

If their cultivation is abolished and they can no longer cultivate, wouldn't they no longer be cultivators and only be ordinary mortals?!

Originally, given their talent and resources, the three of them might have had a chance to reach the Foundation Establishment stage in the future!

So now you can't even cultivate anymore?

After the abolition of cultivation, it is already remarkable for mortals to live to be over seventy years old. They are already in their thirties, and half of their lives have passed!

If they hadn't done this before, they might have been able to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, with a lifespan of two hundred years, leaving them with more than one hundred and sixty years to live!

How many years of life did I lose going back and forth like that?

Lin Feiyang, pale-faced, looked at Lin Ying and pleaded, "Yingying! I was wrong! I really know I was wrong! Please don't ruin my cultivation! Please don't ruin my cultivation! I don't want to become a mortal!"

Lin Qi was also pale and trembling all over. He cried out, "Yingying, are you afraid your brother-in-law will be angry? You...you let us both talk to him! We'll go and apologize! We'll beg for mercy! Please don't ruin our cultivation! I beg you!"

Lin Ying remained expressionless as she looked at the two pale-faced men kneeling and pleading, and calmly said, "Wang Liu."

Wang Liu nodded slightly, flicked his finger, and two strands of golden flame shot into the bodies of the two men.

The next moment, golden flame patterns flashed across their skin. They felt excruciating pain all over their bodies, especially in their dantian. The spiritual energy inside their dantian was completely destroyed by the burning golden flames, and their dantian was burned to charcoal, with no possibility of repair.

Overwhelmed by intense pain, regret, despair, and anger, the two fainted on the spot.

Looking at the two lying on the ground, the Lin family cultivators exchanged glances and expressions, gaining a new understanding of Lin Ying.

Just then, Lin Ying whispered, "Great-grandmother, and cousin Lin Yi?"

Lin Qiaohua said softly, "I'll bring him here."

Lin Qiaohua sent someone to bring Lin Yi over. When Lin Yi saw Lin Feiyang and Lin Qi lying on the ground, he felt uneasy. Before he could say anything, a wisp of golden flame landed on him.

Lin Yi screamed in agony as he collapsed to the ground, losing his cultivation in a daze and despair. His dantian was also burned to ashes.

Looking at the three people lying on the ground, Lin Ying thought for a moment and said, "Great-grandmother, after they recover, have someone take them to a few families who know about this to apologize and tell them not to say anything more."

Lin Qiaohua nodded slightly and chuckled, "That was my original plan too."

After all, Lin Feiyang and his two companions had previously used Lu Yang's name to suppress those family cultivators, preventing them from saying much. However, this was still the act of a cultivator undergoing a calamity, and it was not entirely safe.

Now that Lin Feiyang and the other two have been punished, she sent someone to apologize with gifts, which was polite and also provided an extra layer of security.

After Lin Ying finished doing all this, she nodded slightly, and a gentle smile reappeared on her pretty face.

However, this time, none of the other Lin family cultivators truly regarded Lin Ying as the gentle junior they used to know.

"Great-grandmother, father, mother, I'll go back to my room now. I'll stay here for a few days and deal with the evil cultivators and treacherous cultivators near the Taibai Mountains before I leave."

Lin Qiaohua, Lin Donglin, and Lu Mian all nodded, telling Lin Ying to go back and get some rest.

Lin Qiaohua and the other two felt somewhat guilty that Lin Ying had encountered such a distressing situation so soon after their return.

After returning to her courtyard, Lin Ying didn't rush to refine pills. Instead, she recounted the events of the day: Lin Feiyang and his two companions using his name to rob other cultivators, and how she handled the situation.

Although it wasn't a big deal, Lin Ying felt that Lu Yang should know, otherwise she would always feel that she was hiding something from him.

…………

Jiuhua Cloud Chariot, within the Small World.

Lu Yang, Qin Nanyue, and Liu Yaoyao were chatting in the main hall. At the speed of the Nine-Flower Cloud Chariot, it would probably take less than an hour to travel from the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect to the Qin family. Such a short time was not convenient for cultivation, and there was not even enough time for dual cultivation. So they could only chat here.

Lu Yang felt that entertainment options in the cultivation world were actually quite limited, mainly because cultivators were mostly short of time. They didn't even have enough time for cultivation and seclusion, let alone entertainment.

Perhaps mortals have more entertainment options. After all, mortals cannot cultivate and have no expectation of immortality, so they naturally use their limited lifespan on things that make them happy. He plans to find an opportunity to visit a mortal city to see if there are any interesting entertainment options, such as mahjong. That way, he can play with his fellow Daoists in the future and strengthen their relationship.

Otherwise, if they only increase their feelings through dual cultivation every time, then they really won't be any different from the Hehuan Sect.

Just as Liu Yaoyao and Qin Nanyue were chatting about some rumors within the sect, the communication jade tablet in Lu Yang's sea of ​​consciousness suddenly vibrated slightly. He raised an eyebrow and looked through the message in his sea of ​​consciousness; it was from Lin Ying.

Lu Yang clicked on it and immediately understood what it was about. He couldn't help but chuckle. For Lu Yang, this was no big deal. After all, he wasn't a saint, and his reputation wasn't that important. Of course, it was unacceptable for others to use his name without his permission.

Since Lin Ying had already dealt with it, Lu Yang naturally wouldn't say anything more. However, from Lin Ying's telepathic message, he sensed that she seemed to feel somewhat guilty, perhaps because Lin Feiyang and the others were, after all, members of the Lin family, yet they had done such a thing.

Lu Yang gently comforted Lin Ying for a few moments, then chuckled and transmitted his voice, "I won't get angry over such a small thing. Yingying, don't think about these things. When you get home, spend some time with your great-grandmother and parents, and get some rest for a few days."

Qin Nanyue's voice carried a hint of nervousness, and a look of unease appeared on her usually sassy and capable face.

Lu Yang was speechless. It was supposed to be him meeting the parents, so why was Qin Nanyue the one who was nervous?
