Tingyun leisurely sipped her fragrant tea, her soft, fluffy tail swaying back and forth: "Lord Xueyi."
"I can accompany you, but I'll say it again."
"Produce the evidence. Without evidence, even if you are a judge of the Ten Kings Division, you have no right to convict this young woman."
Xueyi calmly said, "You want evidence? Of course I do."
Xueyi had made thorough preparations for this moment, and had specially collected various pieces of evidence of Tingyun's crimes:
Firstly, before Su Jinyan received the blessing of the Longevity Plague Ancestor, Tingyun claimed to be his fiancée.
Now that Su Jinyan has gained an almost endless lifespan and is no longer a short-lived species, Tingyun's relationship with him should also change.
First of all, marriage is arranged by parents and matchmakers. Although Su Jinyan's parents are no longer alive, his master Fu Xuan is equivalent to his parents.
It is wrong for Tingyun to continue to consider herself Su Jinyan's fiancée without Fu Xuan's approval.
Tingyun clicked her tongue: "Very well, then I will no longer acknowledge this 'fiancée' status."
"This alone isn't enough to explain the problem, is it?"
Xueyi looked coldly at Tingyun and continued to present evidence:
Secondly, Tingyun, using the online name [Benefactor's Little Fox], repeatedly expressed her affection for Su Jinyan in the live stream chat and forums.
Thirdly, Tingyun recently purchased books such as "The Art of the Bedchamber" from Sanyu Bookstore, clearly indicating ulterior motives.
Fourth, Tingyun constantly lured the ignorant girl Sushang, trying to get her to drag her friend Gui Naifen into assaulting Su Jinyan.
Su Shang: "?"
Tingyun's pretty face flushed red as she argued, "The last one is redundant."
"When did I do such a thing?"
"No matter what, I would never allow anyone to violate my benefactor. I would rather do it myself."
Xueyi shook Yu Zhao and ended the recording: "Very good, Miss Tingyun."
"You have already admitted that you had the intention to violate Su Jinyan."
"The evidence is laid bare before you. What else do you have to say? Come with me!"
Tingyun said indignantly, "You're clearly cheating! Inducing a confession is against the rules!"
Xueyi said seriously, "Tingyun, I was only being polite to you before because of him."
"If you continue to resist stubbornly, I will not be polite."
At that moment, a rustling sound came from behind the Everlasting Marquis Teahouse.
Are you sure you can handle it?
"Watch me, nobody knows how to throw a rope better than me."
Xing was very confident, constantly swinging the tied rope in the air.
With a whoosh, the rope flew in through the open window.
"We're in! We're in!" March 7th exclaimed excitedly.
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let the Cloud Cavalry hear you," Xing said in a low voice.
"Did you manage to get anything? Don't cause any big commotion," March 7th whispered.
"What if you pull down a stool or something? If the Yunqi Army sees you, they'll think we're stealing something."
Xing tentatively tugged at it, her beautiful eyes lighting up: "It's heavy, looks like we've hooked it. Let's go up quickly."
As the rope suddenly passed through the window and landed squarely around her waist, Tingyun asked in confusion, "What is this?"
Xueyi's expression changed slightly: "Oh no! The suspect is trying to escape!"
Su Chang: "Huh?"
Tingyun: "Hmm?"
The next moment, an unimaginable force suddenly pulled Tingyun out of the window of the second floor of the Nevernight Marquis's teahouse.
"Eek!" Tingyun screamed as she experienced a sudden and intense feeling of weightlessness.
Watching Tingyun being pulled down from the window of the second-floor private room, March 7th and Xing fell silent in unison.
Is it too late to escape now?
Tingyun curled up in Xing's arms, gritting her teeth as she said:
"Distinguished guests, don't you think this is going too far?"
Before the two could feel guilty about Tingyun's words, Xueyi came to the window and looked at them with unfriendly eyes.
"run--!"
Xing heartlessly threw Tingyun down from his arms.
March 7th followed closely behind, turning back to apologize as he ran: "I'm sorry, Miss Tingyun."
"We didn't mean to! We'll apologize to you later!"
boom--
Xueyi also jumped down from the window and landed steadily.
Xueyi was initially worried that Su Jinyan would blame her for this, but now she has enough reason to arrest Tingyun.
As a judge of the Ten Kings Division, it's not unreasonable for her to personally summon Tingyun, the ferryman of the Heavenly Ship Division, to the Ten Kings Division for investigation, is it?
Unexpectedly, Tingyun had already colluded with two outsiders to resist stubbornly and act unilaterally.
It would be unreasonable not to arrest Ting Yun.
Tingyun's pretty face turned pale. She rubbed her sore bottom, got up, and ran away, calling Su Jinyan as she ran.
Snow-white eyes flashed with coldness: "Don't even think about escaping!"
Su Chang hurriedly jumped down from the window: "Hey, wait for me!"
A cold, mechanical busy tone came from Yuzhao.
Her jade oath was custom-made by the Tianbo Bureau, so it was impossible for it to have poor signal or busy tone.
Tingyun glanced at Xueyi behind her in surprise. She had long heard that wherever the judge went, all tricks and omens would fail.
I never imagined this rumor was true...
The judge of the Ten Kings' Court is so petty. It seems that my words earlier have made her hold a grudge, which is why she deliberately came to cause trouble.
If it weren't for Miss March causing trouble, why would I have been forced to run away? I could have just waited for my benefactor to come to my rescue.
Xueyi said urgently, "Tingyun, quickly return to the Ten Kings' Court for trial!"
Tingyun ran forward without paying attention to anything else: "You should arrest my two accomplices first!"
Silver Wolf blew bubble gum, watching the scene with great interest, and recorded a short video to send to Su Jinyan.
[Punk Lord's Silver Wolf: Here's something funny.]
[Miss Silver Wolf's dog: ???]
[Punk Lord's Silver Wolf: Hahaha, doesn't this look like catching someone cheating?]
[Miss Silver Wolf's dog: ......]
[Miss Silver Wolf's Dog: Why can't I get through to them on the phone? Do me a favor, tell Xueyi to stop chasing them.]
[Silver Wolf of Punklord: I'm a Star Core Hunter, are you expecting me to deliver myself to her doorstep and hunt for her?]
Upon receiving the video from Silver Wolf, Su Jinyan, who was in the Industrial Construction Department, immediately called Xueyi.
However, all that came from Yuzhaoli was the cold, mechanical busy tone.
He then called March 7th and the others separately, and received the same result.
Su Jinyan's face darkened; he wished he could drag Silver Wolf over and beat him up right away.
He picked up the jade emotion module that Master Gongshu had customized and said in a hurried tone:
"Master Gongshu, I have urgent business to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."
"Don't forget about the matter at the Imperial Apostles' Office, or I won't be able to handle my master's temper."
Master Gongshu glanced at him, his attitude extremely poor: "Get out of here, get out of here."
The fact that she was pregnant that day has been a thorn in Master Gongshu's side ever since, and he hasn't given him a kind look.
If the other apprentices in the workshop hadn't also become pregnant, Master Gongshu would have been so ashamed that he would have fallen into demonic possession on the spot.
I have no idea what this kid is thinking.
Instead of pursuing the perfectly good Tingyun girl, he insisted on having him customize some kind of puppet Yuzhao emotional circuit module.
Under normal circumstances, the combat-type puppets of the Immortal Ship are strictly prohibited from loading this Jade Omen Circuit.
However, he figured that the kid probably bought the companion puppet from the Interstellar Peace Corporation or some other channel.
If it's used to relieve loneliness, then it's not against the rules, so I thought I'd just give it to him.
