If today's incident wasn't Lu Yi Ye's doing, it wouldn't be a big deal. The Law Enforcement Hall had offended many people in the past few years, so it was inevitable that some people would secretly hold grudges against them and wait for an opportunity to vent their anger. But if it was really Lu Yi Ye's doing, what would the Law Lord say?
Zhou Kui, a Ninth Order True Lake Realm Body Cultivator, was beaten by a Fifth Order Weapon Cultivator. What's more, it happened right under the noses of the other members of the A5 Squad. If this news spread out, it would make the A5 Squad look incompetent, and Zhou Kui, the captain, would lose all face.
Zhou Kui's face became gloomy and uncertain for a moment before he decisively said, "Return to Grand Sky City."
As long as he could punish Lu Yi Ye severely, what did losing face matter?
Inside the Law Department's main hall, Qian Wu Dang looked at Lu Ye speechlessly, "Does this tea still have any taste?"
Lu Ye had already drunk three cups of water.
He didn't hold back and refilled his own cup after drinking it.
"It's okay."
Qian Wu Dang rubbed his forehead helplessly, "If you like this tea, you can take some back."
"Many thanks, Sir." Lu Ye quickly thanked him.
Heavy footsteps came from outside and a short while later, a sturdy figure stepped in, wrapped in a bloody smell.
Qian Wu Dang looked up and saw Zhou Kui's miserable state. His face suddenly sank, "What happened?"
From Zhou Kui's appearance, it was obvious that he had been beaten up by someone. Moreover, the perpetrator had even used a spirit weapon. The fake wounds on his body were obviously caused by a sharp weapon. The most conspicuous thing was the large shoe print on his face. It looked extremely comical. It was obvious that he had been kicked in the face.
Zhou Kui was a True Lake Ninth Order cultivator, so it was very likely that someone in the Spirit Sea Realm had beaten him to this state.
Qian Wu Dang subconsciously thought that some Spirit Sea Realm cultivator in Grand Sky City had attacked Zhou Kui.
In the end, Zhou Kui was still a soldier under his command and had performed well in the past few years. Even if he had made a mistake, it should be him, the Law Department's Law Lord, who should punish him, not someone else.
"Your Excellency, please uphold justice for this lowly one." Zhou Kui cupped his fists and spoke in a low voice. He tilted his head slightly and put on a look of extreme shame. "This lowly one was ambushed 200 kilometers away from the city!"
"Who did it?" Qian Wudang asked coldly. He was furious. Sneakily attacking the soldiers under his command was unacceptable. He made up his mind. No matter which warrior of the Spirit Sea Realm did it, he would make them give him an explanation today! Beating his soldiers was the same as slapping Gan Wudang's face, slapping the Law Department's face. How could such a thing be tolerated?
"Lu Yi Ye," Zhou Kui grit his teeth and spat out this name, the look of humiliation on his face becoming even more obvious; after all, he was a Ninth-Order Origin Realm cultivator and had to admit that he had been beaten by a Fifth-Order Lu Ye.
But as long as Lu Yiye was punished, it was worth it.
Qian Wudang was stunned. He looked up and saw Lu Ye sitting on a chair not far behind Zhou Kui with a teacup in her hand.
When their eyes met, Lu Ye's face was blank.
"Who are you talking about?" Gan Wudang frowned.
"Lu Yiye, the one who had a conflict with me in the Hundred Fragrances Building a few days ago." When did it happen? "Qian Wudang asked again.
"Ten minutes ago."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Suddenly a familiar voice came from behind.
3.3AC
The sound of footsteps rang out, causing Zhou Kui to turn around and see Lu Ye standing up with a teacup in her hand.
"Why are you here?" Zhou Kui's eyes spat fire. When he came in just now, he was so focused on complaining that he didn't notice someone behind him.
"Why can't I be here?" Lu Ye snorted and put the teacup in his hand on the table in front of Qian Wudang, cupped his fists, and said, "Sir, Zhou Kui is slandering a fellow officer. “
Zhou Kui raised his hand and grabbed Lu Ye's collar, saying fiercely, "It was you, don't think I didn't notice."
Lu Ye didn't resist and just turned to look at Qian Wudang, "Sir, you saw it, he even tried to attack me. How dare he act so presumptuously in front of Sir? Please allow me to teach him a lesson on behalf of Sir and teach him the rules of our Law Department."
"Let go!" Qian Wudang shouted with a sullen face.
Zhou Kui didn't dare to disobey and quickly let go of Lu Ye's collar, apologizing, "Sir, please forgive me, I lost my composure. This bastard has gone too far!" Lu Ye raised his hand and flicked his wrinkled collar, standing there calmly.
Qian Wudang looked at Zhou Kui and said in a low voice, "You said Lu Yiye attacked you ten minutes ago?"
"Yes," Zhou Kui replied solemnly, "I had just received a mission from the Hunting Pavilion and led my team out of Vast Sky City. When I was about two hundred li away from Vast Sky City, this guy suddenly appeared and caught me off guard. Division Chief, please take a look at my injuries. They were all caused by this guy. This guy is so lawless and dares to secretly attack and kill his colleagues. He is simply too daring. Please investigate this matter thoroughly." "I don't know what you're talking about. Lu Ye snorted coldly.
"How dare you say you didn't do it?" Zhou Kui turned and glared at him. "Don't think you can fool Sir just because you beat someone up and came here. Sir has sharp eyes and can see the truth."
"Of course it wasn't me." Lu Ye looked at Zhou Kui as if he was an idiot. "I know you suffered a loss at my hands a few days ago and you're angry. You're waiting for an opportunity to take revenge, but you don't have to resort to such despicable means." He then looked at Qian Wudang. "Sir, this person is slandering me for no reason. Please uphold justice for me!" “
Qian Wudang was annoyed by their argument and looked at Zhou Kui. "Did you see him attack you with your own eyes?"
Zhou Kui said, "He was wearing a mask when he attacked me, so he didn't show his face. However, his figure and cultivation were the same. I fought with him at close range for a short while and was sure it was him."
"It can't be him!" Qian Wudang said.
Zhou Kui's anger turned into shock and he looked at Qian Wudang in confusion. "He stayed here for the time it takes to burn a stick of incense and drank three cups of tea. If you were really attacked before that, then it couldn't be him." Zhou Kui was dumbfounded.
If it was someone else who said this, he wouldn't believe it. However, it was Qian Wudang who said it, so he had to believe it.
"That's impossible!" Zhou Kui shouted.
The person who attacked him was Lu Yiye. How could it not be him? If it wasn't him, then who could it be?
Zhou Kui was confident that he wouldn't get the wrong person in such a close fight. "Do you think I'm lying to you?" Qian Wudang looked at Zhou Kui coldly. Zhou Kui shivered and quickly said, "I wouldn't dare." Suddenly, he thought of something and turned to Lu Ye. "If it wasn't you who attacked me, do you dare to swear on Tianji Oath?"
If he swore on Tianji Oath, then all lies would be judged.
"Why?" Lu Ye sneered. "With Qian Wudang as my witness, I need to swear on Tianji Oath."
"If you don't swear on Tianji Oath, then it's you."
"You've done too many bad things and I don't know who taught you a lesson. Why do you have to slander me?
Seeing that Zhou Kui was about to say something, Qian Wudang slammed the table. "Enough!"
Both Zhou Kui and Lu Ye stopped talking.
"This Department Lord said it wasn't him. Zhou Kui, stop arguing." Zhou Kui opened his mouth but eventually nodded. "Yes!"
Was it really not him? But if it wasn't him, who could it be? At this moment, Zhou Kui's heart couldn't help shaking.
Thinking about it again, Lu Yiye was just a Fifth Order cultivator. If he really was that strong, then in that short confrontation, Zhou Kui had been beaten to the point where he couldn't even fight back. This wasn't something a Fifth Order True Lake Realm cultivator could do.
Could it really be a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator who had concealed his cultivation to teach him a lesson? Zhou Kui's heart sank as he secretly thought of possible candidates, but couldn't think of anyone.
While Zhou Kui's thoughts were running wild, Lu Ye took the opportunity to speak up. "Sir, Zhou Kui took revenge and slandered his colleague. If Sir hadn't testified, I'm afraid this lowly one wouldn't have been able to explain himself. If in the future, the people of our Law Division continue to make groundless accusations and slander others without any real evidence, how can we enforce the law impartially? In the long run, the Law Division will no longer have any prestige to speak of. Sir, please punish him severely and uphold the integrity of the Law Division. "You!" Zhou Kui turned his head and glared at Lu Ye. He had never expected that after he failed to lodge a complaint, Lu Yiye would take the opportunity to add insult to injury. On top of that, this bastard even tried to use the Law Division's name to pressure Zhou Kui. Zhou Kui immediately had a bad feeling. Qian Wudang glared at Lu Ye. He didn't want to make a big deal out of this matter. In any case, Zhou Kui had been beaten up this time while Lu Ye hadn't suffered any losses.
It was best to turn big problems into small ones and small ones into nothing.
But since Lu Ye had said so, if Qian Wudang didn't punish Zhou Kui, it wouldn't be right. In the end, Lu Ye had indeed been slandered this time, and Zhou Kui had indeed made groundless accusations.
"Then what do you think the punishment should be?"
Lu Ye said in a deep voice, "Sir, you are the one in charge of the Law Division. I only follow orders."
Qian Wudang gave Lu Ye a dirty look and scolded him in his mind. Then he turned to Zhou Kui and said, "You slandered your colleague without any evidence. Zhou Kui, you will be punished with one month's salary and ten lashes in the prison. Any objections?"
Zhou Kui didn't dare to raise any objections. He lowered his head like a frosted eggplant. He cupped his fists weakly and said, "Yes, sir! “
Qian Wudang waved his hand.
Zhou Kui turned around and looked a bit lost. It wasn't because he was punished, but because he was thinking about something. If Lu Yiye really wasn't the one who did it, then which Divine Sea Realm cultivator was teaching him a lesson?
The feeling of being targeted in the dark was unbearable, especially when the one who targeted him was a Divine Sea Realm cultivator.
"Don't go out on missions for a while. Rest well." Qian Wudang reminded him again.
"Yes." Zhou Kui nodded.
After Zhou Kui left, Qian Wudang looked at Lu Ye and said, "I am satisfied." Lu Ye cupped his fists and said, "Sir, you are a fair judge. I will follow your example and follow your example in the future. I will take my leave now."
