Just when everyone was silently standing by, a student from Qing Hai Academy lying on the ground signaled Elder Meng in the air, shaking the ring on his hand.
Elder Meng caught a glimpse of the student on the ground out of the corner of his eye, and his mind stirred. He shouted in a low voice, "Jiang Chen, as a mere student, what right do you have to interrupt when the elders are speaking? Is this how Changlin Academy teaches students, to disregard seniority and disrespect elders?"
"It's none of your business how Changlin Academy instructs its students!"
Hu Yiqiu spoke in a deep voice, coldly glaring at Elder Meng.
"Elder Jiu, I would like to ask Jiang Chen to answer!"
Elder Meng glanced at Hu Yiqiu, then looked back down at Jiang Chen: "Jiang Chen, aren't you quite articulate? Tell me, what is the punishment for disrespecting elders at Changlin Academy?"
"Fine, I'll tell you, but... let me first get what I deserve, and then we can have a good chat!"
