Elder Gao turned to look at Yuan Ni and said in a soft voice, "Do you accept your punishment?"
"I said—"
"I am willing to accept my punishment." Before Ruan Chanchan could say anything to defend Yuan Ni, the mer accepted his punishment. Upon hearing his words, Ruan Chanchan turned to look at him with a hint of bewilderment in her eyes. She wondered what was even going on in the mind of the mer that he accepted an unfair punishment. Clearly, the elders were targeting these two because they could not punish her.
They knew that they were being unjustly targeted, so why were they accepting the punishment without even questioning the elders? Just what was going on in their minds?
