"Punishment?Whyshouldtherebeanypunishment?"

ElderShangguanHufinallyspoke,lookingatSituLiuyunandtheotherelderspresent,appearingconfused.

LookingatShangguanHu’sexpression,theelderswerealsostunned.

"ShangguanHu,whydoyouwanttoarrestSuYi?"ElderLvBaimaisaidimpatiently,raisinghiseyebrowsandtwitchinghisstrikingwhiteeyebrowswithahintofhumor.
