Ling Xiao smiled dismissively and was about to say something when Shen Qian suddenly tugged at him.
Fifth Senior Brother.
Ling Xiao was taken aback, realizing that Shen Qian had something to say, so he nodded slightly.
Amidst the puzzled gazes of Tang Shengzong and the others, Shen Qian stepped forward.
"Come on, grab me."
Shen Qian stretched out his hands and spoke to Tang Shengzong, who was in mid-air.
Everyone was stunned, including Tang Shengzong.
"Didn't you say you were upholding the law impartially? Didn't you say I was guilty of heinous crimes?" Shen Qian sneered. "I'm standing right here, come and arrest me if you dare!"
Ling Xiao and Shi Dingyan seemed to understand something, and both stood aside with half-smiles, no longer saying a word.
"You..." Tang Shengzong was also momentarily speechless.
He originally only wanted to use this opportunity to force Ling Xiao and Shi Dingyan to back down so that he could take the Otherworldly Ghost away, but he didn't expect that Shen Qian would not play by the rules at all.
"You don't dare to make a move?"
Shen Qian was relentless; the thought of the fallen soldiers of the Changyou Battalion made him unable to control his urge to swear.
"If you don't dare to make a move, what the hell are you pretending to be so big for yourselves!"
"Idiot!"
The entire audience was astonished.
I've never seen or even heard of someone pointing a finger at a mountain and sea and insulting it like that.
"You bastard...you, how dare you do this, how dare you do this!"
Tang Shengzong's face instantly turned a mixture of red and green, and he trembled all over in extreme shame and indignation.
“Yes, I’m very daring, but you’re a bit of a coward!” Shen Qian laughed. “What are you afraid of? Aren’t you going to exercise the law enforcement power granted to you by the Nine Kings Conference? Aren’t you embarrassing your Martial Law Department by cowering like this?”
"Do you really think I'm joking?" Tang Shengzong roared.
"No, I think you're serious, so I'm letting you catch it now. Come on, I can't wait."
He clasped his hands together again before bowing and said very sincerely.
"..."
Tang Shengzong's expression changed rapidly, his fists clenched and unclenched, but he didn't know how to react for a moment.
He really wanted to hear Shen Qian's words, but he was also quite hesitant.
Not to mention Ling Xiao and Shi Dingyan, who were watching from the sidelines, even the man standing behind Shen Qian was someone that their minister would have to think twice about.
While others were unaware of what had happened in Jingcheng, Tang Shengzong was fully aware of the details.
The Jingcheng Martial Arts Bureau... is basically impossible to reorganize.
This sounds like a joke, that there are places in China that the Ministry of Martial Law can't control, but it is a fact that has actually happened.
Everything was because of the boy staring at him with a defiant look.
Marquis Jingcheng did not want to, but the minister conceded.
In summary, this is the essence of the matter, yet it speaks volumes.
"Don't think that just because you have some connections you can do whatever you want!"
Finally, Tang Shengzong could only say one dry sentence.
Perhaps noticing the strange looks from his three colleagues, Tang Shengzong, blushing slightly, shouted angrily, "Do you know that your current actions are challenging the authority of my Martial Arts Department? Once I report this to the department, even if you have a prince backing you up, you will still pay a heavy price!"
"Do we have to wait until later?"
Shen Qian burst into laughter again, "You, a dignified master of the Mountain and Sea Realm, can only spout threats from afar when facing a mere beginner martial artist like me. I feel ashamed for you!"
The laughter was like a sharp knife, piercing Tang Shengzong and making him tremble all over.
"If it weren't for Sword Master Ling and Minister Shi here today..."
"So you're not blind after all!" Shen Qian's face suddenly turned cold as he interrupted Tang Shengzong. "Since you know I'm fearless, who were you trying to threaten just now?"
"Let me show you the correct way to make a threat."
He looked directly at the other person and spoke slowly but with unusual determination.
"Either you kill me today, or one day I'll kill you!"
Tang Shengzong's expression changed again, and he stared intently at Shen Qian.
"Do not doubt the truth of my words. I have just said that from this day forward, I will always keep my word!"
"you……"
Tang Shengzong's forehead veins bulged, clearly indicating that Chen Qian's words had truly struck a chord with him.
"Do you really think I can't do anything to you?" Tang Shengzong said through gritted teeth.
“Yes, that’s what I think.” Shen Qian smiled contemptuously. “The way you hate me so much but can’t do anything about it really makes me happy.”
"Sink forward!"
Tang Shengzong was breathing heavily, his body leaning slightly forward, as if he would go berserk at any moment.
“Junior brother, that’s enough. This is not the future… He is a martial artist of the Mountain and Sea realm, and he still has some blood in his bones. If he really fights desperately, I’m afraid it will have a bad impact.”
Shi Dingyan's voice rang in Shen Qian's ears, and he looked at Shen Qian with a hint of surprise.
My junior brother's words and actions today are completely different from before, it's like he's a different person altogether.
It was reckless, but surprisingly admirable.
At that moment, Shi Dingyan suddenly understood some things he hadn't understood before.
When he learned that his junior brother might be in danger, Gao Wenyuan was not worried at all. He even looked into the distance and said, "It's not a bad thing." He insisted on playing another game of chess with Shi Dingyan before letting him set off.
At the time, Shi Dingyan was completely confused, but now it seems that his teacher had foreseen this situation.
Shi Dingyan had never been able to see through his teacher's thoughts, but at this moment, seeing a light in Shen Qian's eyes that he had never seen before, he seemed to understand something.
"Yes, it's still terrifying when Shan Hai fights desperately; it might affect innocent people." Ling Xiao whispered in Shen Qian's ear.
