Upon hearing Big Demon Ming Yu's question, Cao Shanyue tensed up, his gaze towards Shen Mo filled with pleading.
Even though Cao Shanyue was usually stingy, rarely helping Cao Ren with cultivation resources, Cao Ren was, after all, his own flesh and blood, and he couldn't bear to see him meet a tragic end.
"According to the sect's rules, I should hand Cao Ren over to the Enforcement Hall for a thorough investigation..." Shen Mo said slowly.
"No!"
Cao Shanyue hastily interjected, his tone pleading, "Dear nephew, you too know how ruthless and decisive the cultivators of the Enforcement Hall are!"
"If we hand Ren'er over to them, even if they eventually figure out the whole story, he will most likely be tormented nearly to death."
"Perhaps he will even be tortured to death!"
"We mustn't let the Enforcement Hall get involved, I beg you."
Saying this, Cao Shanyue bent over, ready to bow to Shen Mo, praying that he would find a way to save Cao Ren.
