the entire confrontation he stepped
forward from the crowd and bowed father
I can bear witness the esteemed
officials speak the truth ah indeed if
the third Prince himself attests to it
could there be any falsehood haha let us
see how these corrupt Scholars will
respond now the scholars Expressions
darkened G Ling Yun gritted his teeth
very well even if the national master in
his eagerness for victory seized command
it was for the good of the Empire
moreover how do you account for the
charges of treason treason how am I to
defend against such an accusation I have
no knowledge of the evidence
well well everyone knows that before the
national Master entered seclusion he
personally identified you as the one who
ambushed him from behind during the
battle with bwa resulting in his injury
good this was the statement lyong had
been awaiting he widened his eyes in
disbelief how could this be I was
assisting the national Master at that
time how could he wrongfully accuse me
was it not I who ordered the retreat
preserving the lives of hundreds of
thousands of soldiers this should not be
while the national Master may have
harbored some grievances against me he
should not accuse me of treason I simply
cannot comprehend the NPC's had some
semblance of intelligence with a slight
nudge they knew precisely what to say
the debate officially entered its second
round your majesty I recall that the
national master has been vociferously
denouncing Lord Shong indeed Lord Shong
saved my disciples and so many Imperial
soldiers how could he possibly be a
traitor your majesty please see clearly
it must be a misunderstanding on the
part of the national master haha a
misunderstanding the national Master
must have realized the gravity of his
sins and sought to shift the blame onto
Lord Shong the Marshall general spoke
boldly and with the 10 major sect Elders
adding fuel to the fire the scholars
found themselves at a loss for words you
corrupt Scholars merely spouting
unfounded accusations all present can
testify to Lord Shang s innocence what
further arguments do you have indeed the
national Master is but a man do you
truly believe he would shift
responsibility as Lord Shan would say a
bunch of fools lyong no Lord ning please
mind your manners one cannot simply
speak the truth all the time you speak
nonsense the national Master is not that
kind of person nonsense wuan could not
help but roll his eyes a group of
individuals who were not present dared
to assert that those who were there were
speaking nonsense if you cannot discern
the truth it is better to remain silent
among them Wu Yan's testimony held the
utmost significance as the son of the
emperor his words could not be dismissed
lightly wuan had sent him to train
alongside ly fo and to question him
would be tantamount to questioning the
emperor himself wui was all too familiar
with the character of the national
Master arrogant conceited power-hungry
yet deeply insecure such character flaws
are easily manipulated which is why the
national Master wielded considerable
influence given these traits wuan
believed that the national master was
indeed capable of framing lyone Jing Yun
was aware that his arguments were weak
yet he was not foolish enough to speak
recklessly suddenly he turned his gaze
to oing Woody and inclined his body
saying your majesty the master of
heavenly Arts was also present at that
time he saved the national master and
must surely know the truth I in an
instant All Eyes turned to the master of
heavenly Arts his words carried more
weight than even Wu Yan's as he stood
apart from the Empire ly Fang's
attention was entirely focused on oing
wood I in this court debate he felt
confident believing everything was under
his control the only variable was oang
Woody his words could determine Lyn
