Does Elder Shen have such concerns about his public trial team?
Shen Zhao smiled faintly: "Personally, I think the quality of the public trial panel is extremely important. After all, a person's character can be seen from their upbringing."
I believe that every judge on our public trial committee has undergone rigorous training and will certainly be fair and impartial, resolutely resisting any acts of favoritism or fraud.
But in his heart he thought: Su Yunying is an exception.
"Oh? Hearing Elder Shen say that, I am truly filled with emotion. Could you then testify about the quality of the public trial panel?"
"Of course."
After saying that, Shen Zhao glanced at Kong Lian, who was drinking at a table not far away, then suddenly stood up, pointed at him and shouted.
"Kong Lian, your mother is dead."
Kong Lian was furious upon hearing this. She slammed her hand on the table, stood up, and retorted, "I came here to give you a set of...!"
"Um??"
Before he could finish speaking, he was met with a warning look from Liang Hao, and a deep, meaningful sigh.
The next moment, Kong Lian immediately lost her temper and stammered, "Come on, let's do a set of Five Animal Frolics to entertain your aunt."
He wasn't afraid of Shen Zhao, but he was afraid of Liang Hao. That guy was at the Nirvana Realm, the kind of person who could kill him with a flick of his finger.
Seeing Kong Lian sit down with a big smile on her face, Shen Zhao then explained to Huo Xiaoran, "Now you believe in the quality of my public trial team members, right?"
Look, even after I've scolded him like this, he's still so amiable. Doesn't that show he doesn't trust the impartiality of my public trial panel?
"Well……"
Huo Xiaoran was completely numb and really didn't know how to describe her feelings at this moment.
I thought I'd met a decent person, but this one turned out to be even more heavyweight, far more explosive than the ones I'd encountered before.
After Huo Xiaoran left, Shen Zhao walked up to Kong Lian.
"Master Kong, may I have a word with you in private?"
"Hmph, I don't deign to speak to you!"
Don't you want to know what I'm going to tell you?
"Get away, I don't want to know!"
Kong Lian was quite ruthless. Shen Zhao had made her look so bad, and now her reputation was not what it used to be, so naturally she didn't give Shen Zhao a good look.
Shen Zhao snorted coldly: "Oh, very well then. I think Hundred Flowers Valley will definitely be interested in the matter of the Yin mother and daughter bribing the Confucian Sage Sect with 300,000 spirit stones."
Upon hearing this, Kong Lian jumped up in shock: "You... what did you say... when did I ever accept 300,000 spirit stones from that mother and daughter? You need to have evidence to support your claims, don't make baseless accusations!"
"Did I say you accepted spirit stones? Hmm?"
Kong Lian was speechless for a moment, stammering, "I...I thought you were talking about me..."
"Well, let's leave this message to the people of Hundred Flowers Valley. They're more professional in this area than we are."
With that, Shen Zhao turned to go find Huo Xiaoran.
"Wait, Fellow Daoist Shen, please wait."
Kong Lian hurriedly called out to Shen Zhao.
What is Hundred Flowers Valley? It's a sect that flaunts its literary skills; whether you're good or bad is entirely up to them.
If Shen Zhao were to secretly offer them some benefits, they would act recklessly and their reputations would be completely ruined.
He absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen to him.
"What, you're willing to talk now?"
What will it take for you to keep this to yourself?
"It's simple. Just do one thing for me, and no one will know about it."
What do you want me to do?
Shen Zhao quietly leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words, then patted his shoulder after speaking.
After listening, Kong Lian asked suspiciously, "That's it?"
"that's all!"
Shen Zhao answered very decisively.
"Okay, after it's done, I want you to provide all the receipts related to the loans taken out by the mother and daughter."
"Of course."
After Shen Zhao finished speaking, he turned and left.
...
Bang!
Suddenly, the sound of bells and drums echoed in the air.
Chief Kong immediately stood up: "The Southern Region Immortal Martial Arts Competition is about to begin. Contestants who have drawn lots, please enter!"
The Southern Region Immortal Martial Arts Competition has officially begun.
Su Yunying held the number plate in her hand; it was number 1.
Following the instructions, we arrived at arena number two.
On the arena, a cultivator wielding two swords had been waiting for some time.
Upon seeing such an outstanding and beautiful girl, the dual-sword cultivator's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Young lady, my name is Yun Zhongzi. May I ask your name?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the referee stepped forward and warned him, "What nonsense are you asking? Aren't the names of both competitors already written on the paper?"
Yun Zhongzi was startled upon hearing this, then protested, "What? You're not even going to announce your names? This is the Southern Region Grand Competition!"
"Damn it, you need a registration number for a single elimination round? Aren't you afraid of losing face if you lose? If you want a title, you'll have to advance first."
"This is just too unethical."
"Are you fucking going to compete or not? If you keep babbling on, I'll throw you out right now."
Do you think my Thousand Buddha Iron Hand Stone Guanyin is just for show? Twenty years ago, I could take on three of you with one hand! How hateful!
Yun Zhongzi immediately dared not act rashly again, and simply nodded to Su Yunying before assuming a fighting stance with his twin swords.
"start!"
Bang--
No sooner had Shi Guanyin finished shouting than Su Yunying stepped forward and slapped Yun Zhongzi off the stage.
The whole process took less than a second, and Shi Guanyin was petrified on the spot, unable to react for a long time.
"Referee, do I count as a winner?"
Su Yunying smiled sweetly.
Shi Guanyin then came to her senses and announced loudly, "Second arena, Su Yunying wins!"
"Great! Colorful! Colorful!"
Shen Zhao was the first to stand up and applaud Su Yunying. Judging from his appearance, anyone who didn't know better would think that she had already won the championship.
