Su i looked at Titan Yun. "What do you think?"
"Passing by the Frost Snow Clan’s hall?" Titan Yun sneered.
If this were a regular occasion, Su i might have spent so ti bickering with the three quarreling below to relieve her boredom. However, it was now quitting ti. Only a fool would waste their ti on them.
"Bring up the Mirage Dragon Mirror."
The Mirage Dragon Mirror originated from the Mirage Dragon within the Myriad Beasts Sect. Chen Jiuge had only discovered during the last war in the Beastman Territory that this particular Mirage Dragon, used by the Sect for assessnts, was actually an Immortal. With minor issues constantly arising within Horn Shadow City, he had requested a Mirage Dragon Mirror. Thanks to Great Elder Ye Sheng’s influence, the Sect had complied.
Two mbers of the Horn Shadow Clan carried up the person-sized Mirage Dragon Mirror. Su i, leisurely tending to her nails, said, "You don’t need to teach you, do you?"
Titan Yun, his conscience clear, strode forward. "Of course not."
As Titan Yun approached, the mirror’s surface, shimring with iridescent light, slowly revealed the past events.
A hint of disdain touched Luo Han’s face. "So weak?"
"It’s your turn," Su i said to the two who were hesitating.
"Commander Luo Han." Seeing the pair’s reluctance, Su i greeted Luo Han with a polite nod.
"Steward Su, you’re too kind," Luo Han responded respectfully to this attendant of the Divine Son.
As the sequence of events linked by cause and effect appeared in the mirror, Su i frowned. "Gabriel? The ninth Young Master of the Dawn Clan?"
The Dawn Clan was a race Chen Jiuge had specifically instructed Qian Baolin to find during the last war in the Beastman Territory when they realized they lacked sufficient dical personnel. Their residential area had also been provided free of charge.
Feeling troubled, Su i took out her Communication Stone, intending to contact Chen Jiuge, but there was no answer. After inquiring with Da Bai, she learned he was in seclusion. A trace of indecision appeared on her face; she was unsure whether to wait for Chen Jiuge to erge before dealing with the issue.
Gavin and Jia Wu, seeing Su i hadn’t instantly passed judgnt on them, showed a trace of triumph. Could it be just as the Young Master said? That the City Lord of Horn Shadow City wouldn’t dispose of us arbitrarily?
Right, isn’t *she* here? Su i suddenly rembered soone.
Titan Yun fought the urge to punch the two bastards to death, looking at Su i with anticipation for her decision.
What was it like to be stared at by a massive Titan, especially one with such expectant eyes?
Su i could tell you exactly: it was a very awkward sensation. Thankfully, the decision-maker had arrived.
Wen Ruo, dressed in a white gown with a gentle smile on her face, entered the Interrogation Hall, followed by a swaggering Da Bai. After glancing around, she asked, "Su i, what’s going on?"
After Su i briefly explained the situation, she said, "They were specially invited by the City Lord. I wanted to contact him, but he’s in seclusion. We’ll have to rely on you, Elder Sister."
Wen Ruo’s smile vanished. She nodded. "I understand."
anwhile, Da Bai stared at the smug faces of the two Dawn Clan brothers, her own little face full of astonishnt. "Goodness gracious! Who are these two? They seem so arrogant. Could it be that all avians are like this?"
Da Bai recalled that after their eting in Horn Shadow City, the Silver King had also beco cold and aloof, barely acknowledging her. Could it be that those with wings were naturally more arrogant?
TAP TAP TAP.
Gabriel strode into the Interrogation Hall with an air of arrogance. "Steward Su, why have you detained my clansn?"
"The City Lord himself promised that our Dawn Clan would not be oppressed in Horn Shadow City!"
Gabriel had appeared upon learning that Su i had delayed judgnt on Gavin and Jia Wu. He believed Horn Shadow City currently needed the Dawn Clan. This ti, he planned to make a display of power, to show Xue Tianjiao that he wasn’t soone whose advances she, from a fallen clan, could refuse.
"And you are?" Wen Ruo asked, sowhat puzzled.
"I am the ninth Young Master of the Dawn Clan and the second-in-command of the Horn Shadow City branch. And who might you be? I don’t believe I’ve seen you before," Gabriel said with a smile.
Gabriel always considered himself a gentleman towards attractive won—though a very greedy one, of course.
"This is the Interrogation Hall. If the young lady doesn’t mind," Gabriel continued, his gaze lingering on Wen Ruo, "perhaps we could chat after the interrogation concludes?"
CLANG.
Luo Han’s spear clattered to the floor, her mouth agape—wide enough to stuff not just one egg, but ten.
Da Bai’s sunglasses slid down her nose. Shock first registered on her small face, quickly followed by a flash of excitent. She whipped out her Communication Stone. Quickly, co see the show! Soone’s courting death!
Silence reigned in the Interrogation Hall.
Gabriel, sowhat perplexed by the sudden shift, glanced around. Sensing the strange atmosphere, he said uneasily, "Steward Su, let’s just leave matters here. I’ll take my clansn and go now."
Gabriel gestured for Gavin and Jia Wu to follow and was about to leave, but a blood-red spear blocked his path. Luo Han, her expression now calm, stated, "Leave? You’re not going anywhere today."
"That’s right! You’re not going anywhere today!"
The Spiritual Beasts, alerted by Da Bai, lined up, blocking the main doors of the Interrogation Hall. Luo Wencheng, who had co over to add to the pressure, said with a smile, "Nowhere to go, indeed."
"My Young Master is still young. Could you perhaps give him a chance?" Jias, a pseudo-Immortal of the Dawn Clan, said with a helpless expression.
"If you had asked nicely before, I personally would have been willing to show so consideration. But not now," Luo Wencheng said, spreading his hands.
Although he wasn’t very satisfied with Wen Ruo, who seed so gentle and frail, he still had to show deference to the Divine Son’s chosen Daoist couple. What’s wrong with my Xiu Xiu? She looks much more imposing than her, Luo Wencheng muttered to himself.
A trace of sorrow appeared on Jias’s face. He then bowed deeply towards Wen Ruo, but she sidestepped it with a small hop.
"Senior, you are an Immortal, while I am rely a True Immortal. I cannot accept such a bow from you," Wen Ruo said.
"Although I personally might not mind, I am currently representing the City Lord of Horn Shadow City and the face of the Asura Divine Son. This matter is not mine alone to decide."
"As far as I know, your Dawn Clan ca here seeking refuge, primarily to preserve a Fire Seed for your clan, correct? I trust that a Young Master who only causes trouble like this is not what you, Senior, wish for, is he?" Wen Ruo’s voice echoed through the hall.
Jias’s clasped hands slowly loosened. His expression was complex as he glanced at the nervous Gabriel and sighed. "How many tis have I told you not to cause trouble when you’re outside? Why don’t you ever listen?"
Gabriel said in terror, "Great-grandfather, I was wrong!"
Seeing the lingering trace of foolish hope in Gabriel’s eyes, Jias’s tone turned somber. "What punishnt will he receive?"
Wen Ruo took the book of statutes Su i handed her, scanned it, and announced, "Gavin and Jia Wu will be imprisoned in the Five Elents Heavenly Prison for one hundred years. Gabriel is sentenced to death."
"Is there no room for negotiation?" Jias asked.
"What price can you offer, Senior?" Wen Ruo asked with a faint smile.
Luo Wencheng slowly walked to Jias’s side and placed a hand on his shoulder. "You’ll want to think carefully, Senior Jias."
Jias glanced at Luo Wencheng, then said in a low voice, "Until the Dawn Clan’s main body returns, we will fully support Horn Shadow City’s dical needs."
"In that case, let’s change his sentence to a thousand years in the Five Elents Heavenly Prison," Wen Ruo stated, as if she had been anticipating Jias’s offer.
"Agreed. However, could you grant so ti? In three days, I will personally deliver these three here," Jias requested.
"Certainly."
