With the second whip, another deep bloody mark was left. The Beiming Family's punishment whip was specifically designed with tiny reversed hooks on it. A lash from this whip would strip not only the skin but also the flesh beneath.
Huangfu Ye couldn't stop shaking his head, tears blurring his sight as he watched Beiming Han's bloody back.
Because he took the punishment meant for his brother, Beiming Lingyun was sparing. The punishment was limited to thirty lashes, after which they were released.
On their return, Beiming Han lay on the carriage floor. His bloodied back was a gruesome sight with continuous drops of blood falling. His veins bulged prominently on his forehead.
Tears streamed down Huangfu Ye's face without respite. Beiming Han bit his lip, his forehead dripping with cold sweat. He glanced at Huangfu Ye and reprimanded, "Stop crying. Tell your second brother to prepare for injury treatment. I must go to Xin'er soon."
