Shou Watani and the other instructor were infuriated!
How could someone be so arrogant? How could he disrespect the people of the Shuangshou Pavilion?
"Mofan, I admit that you're very strong, but the Shuangshou Pavilion has been accumulating strength for hundreds of years. Even though you've defeated the guards yesterday, there's no way you can take on the experts of the Shuangshou Pavilion. If you calm down and admit your mistake, the Pavilion Master won't punish you severely, since you're an international friend," Shou Watani tried his best to persuade him.
"Shou Watani, I feel like you're still sober after hearing what you just said," Mofan suddenly said.
"What do you mean by sober? Everyone here is sober, except you and Commander Ozawa. What you did yesterday was too much!" Shou Watani emphasized.
"You don't seem to know anything. Didn't you notice that the people around you aren't concerned about what we did, nor are they confused?" Mofan asked in return.
Shou Watani was startled by the question. He looked around him.
As a matter of fact, he did notice that no one was asking why Mofan and Ling Ling were trying to break into the East Guardian Tower. Was he the only one who didn't know the reason?
"Ling Ling, we have another ally now," Mofan said to Ling Ling.
Ling Ling tucked her hair behind her ear and glanced at Shou Watani, who had a confused look on his face.
This Shou Watani was really clueless. Perhaps the people here didn't want him to stay, since he was only recruited at the last minute.
"Mr. Shou Watani, you don't have to listen to their nonsense. It's a serious offense to break the rules of the Shuangshou Pavilion," Ishida Ike said.
"Yeah … yeah, but there's a motive for committing a crime. I'm wondering what your motive is?" Shou Watani said.
"As for the motive, it's to save people like you who are still in the dark," Mo Fan said.
Shou Watani felt even more dizzy!
He glanced at Nobuko Fujikata and Mochizuki Chihaya, then looked at Mofan and Ling Ling.
Why do all of you seem to know what happened, but I don't know anything!
What was going on?
"Chihaya, take Shou Watani away," Nobuko Fujikata suddenly said.
"Yes, sensei," Mochizuki Chihaya nodded.
Mo Fan glanced at Mochizuki Chihaya. It seemed like she had fallen into the enemy's hands too. However, he had no idea if she was being controlled or replaced. There were a few floors of cells below the East Guardian Tower. Mo Fan did not have the time to check them one by one.
"Why do you want me to leave?" Shou Watani was even more confused.
Why did he have to retreat when everything was going well?
"Shou Watani, you don't need to know too much about it. The Shuangshou Pavilion has its own way of dealing with it," Nobuko Fujikata said with a gentle smile.
"I have the right to know too. After all, I'm an instructor of the Shuangshou Pavilion too." Shou Watani was not planning to leave. He wanted to know the whole story.
"I'll tell you later," Nobuko Fujikata said.
"No, no, no, I need to know the truth. Or is there something else that you can't tell me, since I've only been here for a month or two?" Shou Watani was confused.
"Well …"
"Sensei, I don't understand either," Mochizuki Chihaya spoke up. He was obviously confused about the whole thing too.
"Chihaya, that's not something you should be asking!" Mochizuki Chihaya glared at him.
"Then what should I be asking? As a member of the Mochizuki Clan, am I supposed to be excluded too? We all know what kind of person Commander Ozawa is. There's no way he would let anyone betray the Shuangshou Pavilion. Why would Commander Ozawa insist on breaking into the East Guardian Pavilion? Something serious must have happened in there, "said Mochizuki Chihaya.
It was obvious that Ozawa had won the hearts of the people in the Shuangshou Pavilion. Mochizuki Chihaya's words resonated with the other instructors and students.
That's right, why would Commander Ozawa betray the Shuangshou Pavilion?
Why would he bring two outsiders into the East Guardian Pavilion?
What did he see in the East Guardian Pavilion?
"Yeah, what's wrong with Ozawa? Is he under the influence of the evil group?"
"He did make a mistake, but I don't think he did it on purpose."
Many students could not help but discuss among themselves.
Mofan and Ling Ling were surprised when they heard the discussions.
It seemed like the Blood Demons and the evil group had not fully taken control of the Shuangshou Pavilion. Many people were still conscious in the Shuangshou Pavilion.
There was still a chance to turn the situation around!
"Report, Commander Ozawa has turned himself in to General Takuichi. The Chiefs of the various departments are in the pavilion now. Commander Ozawa has requested for a public trial. Anyone in the Shuangshou Pavilion is allowed to attend," a soldier suddenly ran into the room and saluted Nobuko Fujikata.
Nobuko Fujikata immediately frowned.
Mofan and Ling Ling exchanged glances with one another.
Was Ozawa pretending to be asleep?
Why did he turn himself in?
Was he planning to challenge the Shuangshou Pavilion that was ruled by the demon beasts on his own?
He might be harmed by the Blood Demons. It was extremely dangerous!
"General Takuichi wasn't replaced," whispered Ling Ling to Mofan.
Mofan nodded. It was true that he did not see General Takuichi in the cell.
However, apart from the Blood Demons, there was a group of people in the Shuangshou Pavilion who were good at controlling people's thoughts and beliefs. Even if the Blood Demons did not have to take over the entire Shuangshou Pavilion, they could still control most of the people here.
"General Ozawa said that he was the one who brought Mister Mofan and Miss Ling Ling to the Shuangshou Pavilion without permission. The two had no idea they were going to break the rules. It was General Ozawa's idea to attack the guards. It has nothing to do with Mister Mofan and Miss Ling Ling," said the soldier.
Nobuko Fujikata's expression darkened further after hearing the words. Ozawa was basically taking all the blame, while Mofan and Ling Ling were still guests of the Shuangshou Pavilion. They had no reason to arrest them.
"We'll only know if they're guilty after the trial," said Nobuko Fujikata.
"Therefore, I'll have to ask you to move to the pavilion," said the soldier.
"Hehe, just in time," said Nobuko Fujikata with a hollow laugh.
So what if the trial was held in public? Did Ozawa really think he could overturn the twisted system of the Shuangshou Pavilion?
It was like a court. Most of the people on the jury were on their side. They were the ones who had the final say on whether they were guilty or not …
Before the Moonless Night arrived, before their master ascended, they would not be able to expose the truth. They still had to keep up the act!
"Let's go too, I want to know why General Ozawa would do such a thing too," said Mochizuki Shino to Yong Shan and Takaqiao Kaede.
Both of them nodded.
Shou Watani wanted to know the truth too. He followed the others to the pavilion.
"Are you done?" asked Mofan.
"Mm," replied Ling Ling.
"Let's go too, it's going to be the night of the Oscars," said Mofan.
"It's going to be the night of the trial too, I've been looking forward to it," said Ling Ling.
Ling Ling was not going to put Ozawa on trial. She was going to put the Red Demon Yiqiu on trial!
