Chapter 225
Three lights of different colors appeared in the sky, leaving long traces behind them as they advanced. They were heading for the pagoda of the Natural Law School.
It caught the attention of large groups. They saw there were three old men in feathery clothes.
They looked elegant. Although they were all gray-haired, they didn’t seem old. They were like ancient thousand-year-old trees, strong and majestic.
“The Three Clarities of Natural Law!”
Some elders recognized them. They were three well-known men from the Natural Law School.
“Apprentice brothers!”
Yuan Hong, the leader of the Hall of Penal Law, Elder Technique Impartation, and the Medicine Elder stood up and greeted them with respect.
“Oh? What do you mean?” Hong Wu asked.
Jiang Chen told him about the pagoda, how his clansmen weren’t allowed on.
Yuan Hong had a bad feeling, so he hurried to down from the pagoda. He knew Jiang Chen was going to denounce him. Although he didn’t think it was a big deal, he behaved with great respect in front of the Three Clarities of Natural Law.
He argued that it was because the pagoda was too small to hold so many people. It was the same with the families of other disciples. Only a small number of them could stay on the pagoda.
“You called us savage men. You said we didn’t deserve to stay on the pagoda,” the maid, Cher, reproached Yuan Hong. She was ignorant of his power, which was why she wasn’t afraid.
Yuan Hong was upset. He frowned, but didn’t know how to refute this.
The Three Clarities of Natural Law knew Jiang Chen had suffered from injustice after hearing the story.
Fu Hongxue said, “Jiang Chen, it’s Yuan Hong’s fault, but you shouldn’t have blamed the whole school for it, should you?”
“We’ll punish him—”
Jiang Chen interrupted, “Elder, I haven’t finished.”
“What else?”
The Three Clarities of Natural Law were surprised. They looked at Yuan Hong with blame.
The Venerable of the Sacred Institute wasn’t in a hurry. He was watching the show enthusiastically. He liked the youngster more and more with each second.
“My clansmen were framed and kept behind bars. Elder Yuan Hong said they deserved it. He accused my clansmen of having brought dishonor on the Natural Law School. He claimed he would delete my information from the Natural Law School’s database after today’s competition ended,” Jiang Chen said.
Yuan Hong’s heart sank. The first accusation was nothing, but the second one was more severe.
He hadn’t made any effort to protect a disciple’s rights. It was enough for Jiang Chen to leave the Natural Law School, and it would be his fault if it really happened.
“Jiang Chen, tell me where your clansmen are now,” Fu Hongxue said seriously.
“The dynasty kept my clansmen behind bars for the sake of the Black Dragon City. Princess Wen Xin tried to help. She went to see Captain Gao Xiong, but it didn’t work. The captain even insulted my clansmen by calling them savages. I think he needs to be punished too,” Jiang Chen said.
When he learned the whole story, the prime minister shouted loudly, “Gao Xiong!”
Gao Xiong was nearby. He hadn’t felt a thing when he saw the Third Prince die. He hadn’t given up the idea that Jiang Chen would be in big trouble until the Venerable of the Sacred Institute spoke.
He walked over nervously and looked towards Princess Wen Xin. He finally realized that woman hadn’t been exaggerating at all.
