Chapter 226
“Was he telling the truth?” the prime minister asked seriously.
Everyone around had heard Jiang Chen, and everyone was waiting for Gao Xiong’s answer.
“Your Excellency, I was following the rules. Fan Tu from the Southwind Ridge hurt three men severely. Many people saw it,” Gao Xiong argued.
“Send those three men over here,” the Venerable of the Sacred Institute said before the prime minister could answer.
“Okay,” Gao Xiong didn’t dare disobey his order.
Soon, the three rogues were brought there.
“Jiang Chen, it’s true you’re great, but it’s also a matter of fact that your clansmen beat us!”
The prime minister was embarrassed. In the Xia Dynasty, he was second only to the emperor, but at that moment, he was treated with such indifference, yet he couldn’t get angry.
Not until Jiang Chen had confirmed Gao Yue was fine did he nod at the Venerable of the Sacred Institute.
The prime minister was heavily relieved.
“Nationality, the Xia Dynasty. And your sect?” the Venerable asked after writing his nationality down.
Jiang Chen looked towards the Three Clarities of Natural Law. The Three Clarities of Natural Law looked towards Yuan Hong.
“What? Are you going to behead me too?!” Yuan Hong had a hot temper. He couldn’t hold it anymore due to anxiety and fear.
“Enough!” Fu Hongxue shouted.
Hong Wu accused him, “As a grand supreme elder, and leader of this team, you didn’t try to protect a disciple’s rights. What’s more, you tried to take a disciple down. Why? Because your apprentice is Ning Haotian?”
“The school leader cares a lot about the ethos of the school, but you make light of it.”
“From today onward, you’re deprived of all authority and benefits of a grand supreme elder. We’ll observe your behavior for one year.”
The Three Clarities of Natural Law reproached Yuan Hong one by one. They declared his punishment as a way to soothe Jiang Chen’s anger.
It was indeed Yuan Hong’s fault, so they didn’t find it a difficult decision to make.
“What?! I don’t accept. It’d be better to expel me from the school!” Yuan Hong didn’t accept the punishment, so he threatened the Three Clarities of Natural Law.
As a Reaching Heaven State, he was one of the pillars of the school. He believed his threat would work like Jiang Chen’s.
Jiang Chen had great talent, but was Jiang Chen as powerful as he was at that moment?
“All right. We agree. From now on, you have nothing to do with the Natural Law School,” the Three Clarities of Natural Law said together.
What?!
The crowd exclaimed. They hadn’t expected the Three Clarities of Natural Law to be so resolute. They had given up a Reaching Heaven State so easily.
Yuan Hong was dumbstruck. He had intended to threaten them, but as the saying goes, be careful what you ask for.
The leader of the Hall of Penal Law, Elder Technique Impartation, and the Medicine Elder didn’t speak for him to talk the Three Clarities of Natural Law out of their decision.
That meant all of them had accepted expelling him from the school.
It had occurred to Yuan Hong that maybe he should beg for their mercy. After all, as a grand supreme elder of the Natural Law School, he could get many benefits. If he left the school, many enemies who hadn’t had the nerve to challenge him would come for him, but he couldn’t open his mouth under the gaze of so many people.
“Darn!” Yuan Hong snarled and flew out of the capital.
“If I had had any other choices to deal with these injustices, I wouldn’t have done this, definitely not. I did it because I was helpless,” Jiang Chen said.
The Venerable smiled when he heard him. He exclaimed to himself how interesting this generation of youngsters was.
