Immortal Konghui was extrely disgusted by such behavior, and rebuked, "From beginning to end, did he ever say he intentionally peeked? Since it was an unintentional act, why not handle it lightly, why must he be put to death?"
"If a flower thief vehently denies picking flowers, would you handle it lightly and forgive him?" Immortal Yun Qing retorted.
"One thing is not related to another; even if he peeked, does it warrant death?" Immortal Konghui answered.
At this mont, the dean of Tianze Country's highest academy was displeased and responded, "Ridiculous, our Princess Qingyan is a person of great status, destined to marry a young genius in the future. Now, this lecher has seen her jade-body, how can she marry anyone now? Who will compensate for her future marital life?"
The focus of the debate among the crowd was whether or not to take his life. Since it was so, Lin Yifan could take advantage, so he answered the dean's question, "I've already given my life to her, I owe her nothing."
"You've given your life to her, then why are you still alive? Do you think we are naïve toddlers?"
The dean of Tianze Country's highest academy sneered continuously, finding Lin Yifan's response too naïve, too laughable. Trying to evade punishnt shouldn't involve such absurd reasons!
"Because Fortune favors with a big life." Lin Yifan answered.
"You're just trying to argue, do you think this allows you to evade punishnt?"
"I'm not arguing, don't believe , ask that rotten girl if I was swallowed by the Biyi Monster that day?"
Lin Yifan argued according to reason, showing no fear whatsoever.
The elder of the highest academy of Tianze Country looked towards Princess Qingyan, hoping she would co out and clarify.
Rembering this matter, Princess Qingyan felt peculiar,
At that ti, the Realm of the Biyi Monster was clearly higher than Lin Yifan's, how could Lin Yifan be unhard?
But now wanting to put Lin Yifan to death, she absolutely could not reveal this matter, so she responded, "Lies, you were never swallowed by the Biyi Monster."
"Rotten girl, do you have no sha? How can you tell such lies?"
Lin Yifan was furiously enraged, feeling this rotten girl simply wanted to put him to death, not to reason.
"It didn't happen, and I won't let you off today either!" Princess Qingyan responded.
"You think you can convict with this? Let tell you, there were not only people from your Tianze Country present that day, but also people from the Heavenly Fire Kingdom. Princess Fire Lotus can testify for ." Lin Yifan responded.
"What does this have to do with the Heavenly Fire Kingdom?"
"Yeah, how did it drag the Heavenly Fire Kingdom into this?"
"Could there be a reason behind this?"
"Could there really be hidden circumstances in this?"
...
As Lin Yifan brought the Heavenly Fire Kingdom into it, the matter beca increasingly complicated.
This was not what Princess Qingyan wanted to see, so she responded, "There were absolutely no people from the Heavenly Fire Kingdom present that day."
"If there were no people from the Heavenly Fire Kingdom present, do you think a re True Master Realm cultivator like could snatch the Biyi Pearl from you?" Lin Yifan questioned.
"Because you used a trick."
"Ridiculous, I was subdued by the guards beside you that day, then used as bait by you, tied at the mouth of a water cave, and finally swallowed by the Biyi Monster. Where could I have found the ability to use tricks to take the Biyi Pearl from you?" Lin Yifan questioned again.
"You keep saying you were swallowed, then why are you still alive, and how did you obtain the Biyi Pearl?" Princess Qingyan countered.
"The Biyi Monster rely swallowed , and at that ti, didn't you imdiately kill it? Then I wasn't digested by the Biyi Monster's internal power, that's how I survived.
After that, people from your Tianze Country and the Heavenly Fire Kingdom fought in the canyon, resulting in mutual injury. It was precisely then that the Biyi Pearl fell from the sky, becoming an ownerless item; as I dashed out from the Biyi Monster's corpse, seeing the situation, I took it." Lin Yifan answered.
Princess Qingyan hadn't anticipated that in her hurriedness, she ended up saving Lin Yifan, truly regretting it endlessly.
But regret was useless now; it was better to think about how to kill Lin Yifan and take back the Biyi Pearl.
So she asked, "Who obtained the Biyi Pearl first then?"
"How would I know? I was in the Biyi Monster's belly and couldn't see the situation outside at all." Lin Yifan answered.
"You must have heard sothing, right?"
"I heard nothing; the Biyi Monster's body was too thick, its soundproofing was surprisingly good, I couldn't hear any sound from the outside world."
"Then how did you know we were fighting people from the Heavenly Fire Kingdom?"
"I only found out after rushing out." Lin Yifan answered.
"Lies, in such a short ti, how can you discern who the other group is?"
"How long does it take? Just look at their outfits and the jade pendants at their waists; and besides, Princess Fire Lotus is renowned, among the younger generation, not many wouldn't recognize her, right?"
"You..."
Princess Qingyan was furious, Lin Yifan was deliberately making things difficult for her, not wanting her to obtain proof of the Biyi Pearl's first owner, allowing Lin Yifan to legitimately keep the Biyi Pearl.
She absolutely could not allow such a thing to happen, so continued asking, "The Heavenly Fire Kingdom primarily cultivates fire attribute techniques, what would they want with the Biyi Pearl?"
"The Twenty-Eight Constellations Beads is sothing everyone desires, not having primarily cultivated fire attribute techniques doesn't an one can't possess a water attribute Spiritual Pearl, especially when it's a Constellation Beads.
Additionally, it's well known that the Heavenly Fire Kingdom and Jin Country are allied, and Jin Country is recently preparing to attack your Tianze Country, so when the Heavenly Fire Kingdom encountered you hunting the Biyi Monster in the Muyu Mountains, they certainly wouldn't stand idly by." Lin Yifan answered.
"I see."
The crowd suddenly understood, comprehending the whole incident.
They leaned more towards Lin Yifan's version, as it was logically coherent; furthermore, they knew Jin Country was ready to attack Tianze Country. For this reason, Tianze Country had even sent out letters requesting assistance from them, pleading for their military aid should Jin Country attack.
Princess Xinting had not expected the matter to transpire like this; it seed Lin Yifan was both undeserving and deserving of sympathy.
Perhaps Lin Yifan was truly wrongly accused, perhaps Lin Yifan truly hadn't intended to peek at Princess Qingyan's jade body. Yet she couldn't understand why he appeared at the spot where Princess Qingyan was bathing.
Public opinion suddenly sided with Lin Yifan, Princess Qingyan was truly giving him more and more chances to clear his na through her questioning, hence she simply stopped asking and concluded, "No need to argue, there were no people from the Heavenly Fire Kingdom present then."
"It seems you're willing to say any lie to put to death. Since it is so, I have no desire to waste words, say what you will, I will not admit it."
Lin Yifan too made up his mind, refusing to yield.
Because he knew that if he backed down, there would be no saving grace.
