The one caught first was a man with bloodshot eyes, over thirty years old, and plain appearance.
Under the instruction of Mr. Shun'an, Ma Xiang brought a small stool to Ji Wan.
She sat down, flicked her sleeves, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what's going on? Is it about the Wang family's human trafficking?"
The man who was over thirty, Mr. Wang, looked at Deng Shu's parents with red eyes.
He kept shouting, "It's unfair, Your Highness, it's really unfair.
They said that with only thirty taels of silver and ten spirit stones as a betrothal gift, he could marry his daughter!
It's a betrothal gift, Your Highness!"
Spirit stones are the latest product of spirit veins and are considered a type of currency, just like in the [realm].
Ji Wan sneered in his heart: "You are so old and still want to touch a little girl!"
"Marry her and make her your concubine?" Ji Wan said in a flat tone, with an ambiguous meaning.
"Yes, yes, yes, Your Highness." The man couldn't help but wipe his forehead with his tied hands.
His Highness is clearly still the same His Highness, but somehow, after returning from the battle, His Highness's aura becomes even more intimidating.
"Have you asked the person you want to marry what she wants?"
Ji Wan glanced at Deng Shu, who had stopped crying.
"But, shouldn't marriage be decided by parents? And her parents have already taken the spirit stones!" The man who was over thirty had an ugly look on his face, but he could only try to please Ji Wan and tentatively refute her.
Ji Wan scoffed, "Parents make the decision? Then do you know what Deng Shu's current cultivation level is?"
She had never heard any rumors that immortal cultivators were wronged and dominated by mortals in the mortal world.
Those rumors about immortal cultivators have always been like this.
"The immortal cultivators slaughtered over 200 people in the village."
"The immortal cultivators massacred an entire city."
"The immortal cultivator was in a bad mood and took all the people in the city out and turned them into human pigs."
How come Tiangang is now in trouble and a mortal has become the leader of the immortal cultivators?
"I think this child's current cultivation level is not low. He is in the initial stage of foundation building." Yun Shuangyi, who had been silently observing the development of the situation, suddenly spoke.
"Oh?" Ji Wan raised an eyebrow and cast her gaze on the Wang family and Deng Shu's parents. "What about you? What's your cultivation level?"
"I...I..." The man from the Wang family stammered and couldn't speak.
Deng Shu's mother, who was still conscious, turned her face away, not daring to look at Ji Wan again.
Seeing the awkward expressions on their faces, Ji Wan snorted inwardly, "Where's the silver? And the spirit stones?"
“You said that those silver and spirit stones were betrothal gifts, and they should have gone into Deng Shu’s hands, not into her parents’.
The money is not in Deng Shu's hands now.
And she doesn't want to marry you. To me, that's just human trafficking!
Also, don't forget, Deng Shu is a cultivator, she can fight you to the death on the duel stage."
After saying that, Ji Wan looked at Deng Shu and said, "I will not easily forgive those who traffic in human beings.
Your parents are now involved.
Do you want to plead guilty for them?"
Deng Shu shook his head and stared at the man from the Wang family. After a while, he looked at Ji Wan and said, "Your Highness, can I challenge him on the duel stage?"
Ji Wan shrugged and said nonchalantly, "He has all the evidence and witnesses now, so he's a criminal. Of course you can challenge him."
As Ji Wan finished speaking, the watch on Deng Shu's hand flashed with light.
Go straight to the Wang family man.
A trace of horror flashed across the Wang family man's face, and he was about to lower his head and click to refuse.
But I found out that this was a mandatory invitation.
What this means is that he has to go into the ring whether he likes it or not.
As for why? It was because Deng's book provided evidence of his crime of human trafficking.
But his cultivation level is only at the Qi Refining stage, how can he defeat Deng Shu who is already at the Foundation Establishment stage!
"No, no, it's my fault. Please be magnanimous and spare my life."
The man from the Wang family suddenly knelt down in the direction of Deng Shu.
Ji Wan just kept silent and watched the show, not caring how Deng Shu would deal with this person.
Deng Shuze glanced at the man kneeling on the ground with a look of satisfaction in her eyes. For the first time, she felt the benefits that strength brought her.
What once bound her in her heart has disappeared.
"Let's have a competition to see who is better, you or me."
After saying that, Deng Shu took the lead and walked forward.
The Wang family man who stayed behind sat on the ground with his hands and feet limp.
But before going on the stage, he was still shouting: "Your parents sold you out, go find them!"
Deng Shu paused, then said, "They raised me for more than ten years, I won't touch them.
But after today's work is over, I will not go back home.
I will apply to set up my own household in the future.
What happens to them later is none of my business.”
There was no suspense on the ring. Ji Wan saw the situation clearly through Xiao Ling's broadcast.
The man from the Wang family was tortured until he was on his last breath, and no matter how many times he said he would surrender, it was of no use.
As for why, it was naturally because he had evidence of his guilt, and the competition was a life-and-death arena.
After getting off the stage, Ji Wan saw Deng Shu running off the stage and kowtowed to his parents who had been tied up with tears in his eyes.
Then she wiped away her tears and turned away without hesitation.
No matter how her mother called out to her, she never turned back.
Stopped once.
Ji Wan turned around and glanced at Mr. Shunan's face, and found that there was a hint of relief in his expression.
"Don't worry, sir. You have to trust the children you teach.
This guy just can't think straight for a moment."
He Fei sighed: "Fei is not as good as His Highness in educating children. If His Highness had not enlightened me today, I am afraid there would be another miserable person in this world."
Ji Wan shook her head: "If she doesn't want to wake up in her heart, I can't wake her up."
Ji Wan glanced at the silent Sui Ruoxu and said, "What's wrong, Xuanxiao? Do you want me to take you to the newly built library of Moxiang Academy?"
Sui Ruoxu had a complicated expression, and her beautiful face, which had always been lazy, looked a little dull.
"I just didn't expect that there would be such a miraculous spiritual weapon in the land ruled by His Highness."
I didn't expect that His Highness would be so kind to a woman.
Give them the opportunity to go to school and give them the opportunity to become immortals.
Even if you are wronged, you will receive fair and just treatment from His Highness.
It is not about shielding or protecting each other among officials.
Ji Wan shook his head and smiled, then turned and walked into Moxiang Academy with his hands behind his back.
She wanted to discuss with Mr. Shunan and Master Poxiao whether to add some practical experience courses for the children.
——
"What?! Let them become matching parents???" He Fei couldn't believe it.
What is this operation.
The Deng Shu case just happened outside.
Your Highness, aren’t you afraid that these children might develop feelings for each other because of this course, which would affect their studies?
What if they really fall in love with each other and get married?
Is their Moxiang Academy still a decent place? What will outsiders think?
The old-fashioned Pan Hui also frowned. He couldn't understand why Ji Wan made such a suggestion.
