Chapter 2081: A Stern Demand for Justice
my, all previous reverence and apprehension vanished.The headmaster's words are the will of my Lingyun Sword Sect!"Oh! The Supreme Sect Master!"Zhao Xingyun was so angry that his face turned ashen. He...Everyone in the room exchanged glances. As they were all in the imperial city of the Great Xing Empire, they naturally knew Zheng Wei, but they hadn't expected him to come at this time.
Zhang He waved his hand: "Let him in."
The little eunuch ran out again quickly and soon brought in Zheng Wei, Zheng Long, and Zheng Yiheng.
"Zheng Wei has met the Steward."
Although he is the Great Elder of Lingxiao Academy's Tianluo Prefecture branch, both his cultivation and status are somewhat lower than those in front of him.
"You're welcome," Zhang He politely replied with a gesture, then said, "Elder Zheng, what brings you here"
"Today I've come to ask the Grand Steward to do me a favor regarding my nephew."
"Speaking of which, Zheng Wei showed a face full of indignation, “My nephew Zheng Yihe came from the Haofeng Empire to participate in the newcomer ranking tournament, but he didn't expect to be robbed…”
He went through his prepared speech from beginning to end, and finally said, "If it was just some grievances we endured, that would be one thing, but what the Tianfeng Empire did this time was truly excessive."
"He not only beat my nephew but also stole a lot of spirit stones and treasures. Please, Grand Elder, take action."
After he finished speaking, Zhang He's expression changed. "Elder Zheng, are you sure this was done by the Tianfeng Empire"
Others also showed puzzled expressions. Everyone present knew what kind of existence the Tianfeng Empire was, it was the weakest one among the thirty-six empires.
While the Haofeng Empire isn't the strongest, it ranks among the mid-upper tier. In terms of strength, it far surpasses the Tianfeng Empire.
If the Hao Feng Empire had robbed the Tian Feng Empire, they wouldn't be surprised. Now that things have reversed, they find it hard to believe.
Zheng Wei didn't answer directly, but instead turned his head to Zheng Yihe: "Yihe, can you tell us the specific situation again"
"The several overseers are all just men, they will surely stand up for you."
"Yes."
Zheng Yihe responded with a nod and then began to recount the story in detail.
"Our Hao Feng Empire is quite a distance from the Daxing Empire, and the journey has been arduous. We were about to reach the imperial city and prepare for a rest, but unexpectedly, people from the Tianfeng Empire arrived."
Originally, I thought they were colleagues participating in the newcomer ranking matches, so I warmly entertained them. Unexpectedly, those people saw money and their eyes turned greedy...
His statement was the result of detailed discussions among three people. It didn't sound too flawed, it just shifted all the blame to Ye Bufan.
"Master, please make a ruling for me!"
In the end, Zheng Yiheng still tried his best to squeeze out two teardrops of grievance. However, this guy's arrogance was his forte, and putting on a pitiful act was something he did for the first time. As a result, this hard-squeeze of sorrow and grievance seemed rather unconvincing.
Zhongli Mei's expression sank: "How dare the Heavenly Peak Empire be so overbearing If that's really the case, they don't deserve to participate in the newcomer ranking tournament at all!"
Zheng Yiheng was secretly pleased and quickly said, "Master Attendant, I wouldn't dare to tell a lie."
"This is a serious matter, we should still look into it." Zhang He said, "Let's go to the post station and take a look."
Lei Heng said, "Head Steward, those are just a few young disciples from the Tianfeng Empire. Just have them brought over directly."
"Let's go take a look, we have nothing better to do anyway. It's good to get out and walk around."
Zhang He finished speaking and walked forward first. Zhong Li Mei and the others didn't say anything more, following behind.
The Zheng family members looked at each other, all seeing the joy in their eyes, and then followed each other to the station.
Li Daoran walked in from outside, he arrived at the capital of the Daxing Empire a few days earlier as the person in charge to handle some affairs for the newcomer ranking competition.
Now that almost everything is settled, having heard that Ye Bufan and the others have arrived at the post station, I immediately came over to meet everyone.
Li Dao-ran took out the jade tokens used for the competition and handed them to everyone. Then he asked, "Dean, how was it Was the journey smooth"
Ye Bufan nodded. "It's alright, besides encountering a few minor hiccups, everything else went smoothly."
Li Dao-ran had only asked casually, but upon hearing this, he was a little surprised and asked, "What little incident Has something happened"
“We encountered a group of shameless scoundrels……”
Before Ye Bufan could speak, Li Qingzhu took the lead and recounted the events.
Li Dao ran heard her finish speaking, but his expression instantly changed: “You said you beat up the people from the Honghai Empire and the Haofeng Empire, and also robbed their storage rings”
"Old man, what's all the fuss about"
"Nalan Yujia said nonchalantly, "Those shameless people want to steal our flying artifacts. Should we just let them get away with it"
"That's the logic, but this is going to cause a big problem…"
Li Dao ran anxiously said, "The biggest taboo in the newcomer ranking match is private fights because this will affect the fairness of the competition."
For many years, the Grand Arbiter has had a zero-tolerance policy for this kind of thing. Anyone caught doing it will be disqualified immediately.
Although we are in the right, it's hard to explain this kind of situation. If the Elders Guild investigates, there will probably be big trouble...
Ye Bufan understood what he was worried about and smiled: "Don't worry, Grand Elder. We are on the right side. Even if they come looking for us, I naturally have a way to deal with it."
"I hope so, but I hope they know they're in the wrong and just let this go."
Speaking of this, Li Daoran shook his head again, “But how is that possible I know Zheng Wei and Zheng Long too well, they are petty and protective of each other.”
Now that you've beaten Zheng Yiheng, I'm afraid they won't just let it go. Even if they don't come looking for trouble directly, they'll probably file a complaint with the Disciplinary Hall...
Before he could finish his words, a shrill cry from a young eunuch came from outside the door.
"The Four Deacons of the Consistory have arrived!"
"This…"
Li Dao ran's expression changed drastically, "He actually came, this is a visit of accusation..."
Ye Bufan, however, remained calm and composed: "Elder Great One's arrival is a matter of course. There's nothing to fear. Let's just go out."
"Alas!"
Li Dao ran sighed a long sigh, knowing that there was no use in hiding from this kind of thing. He could only grit his teeth and walk out the door.
No matter what, the Four Attendants all came here, they had to go out and meet.
Ye Bufan curled the corner of his mouth, making a gesture to the girls beside him, then led everyone out together.
Seeing them come out, Zheng Long, Zheng Wei and the others all wore sneers on their faces.
Just wait, once these people are disqualified and kicked out of the Great Xing Empire's imperial city, they'll be at our mercy. We can do whatever we want to them.
"Li Dao ran has met all the Great Elders."
Li Dao-ran couldn't concern himself with these matters anymore. He first bowed to the four elders in respect, and then introduced Ye Bufan.
He had just finished introducing the identities of the four people when a shrill cry rang out beside him.
"Grand Deacon, please see to this humble woman's plight!"o one can enter, and no one can disturb me until I've finished the treatment.""This is easy to arrange," said Xixia Fairy. "Let's go to the secluded hut where Senior Sister often goes into seclusion....
