Wu Yousheng explained, "Sir, he does indeed have the authority to conduct a public trial for this Immortal Martial Arts Competition and to supervise whether any of the disciples cheated during the competition."
Shen Zhao grabbed Zhang Yang and said, "I didn't know you were so capable. Where did you get this thing from?"
Zhang Yang: "This qualification was obtained by me from a great master of the Confucian School at the cost of my entire fortune."
The aim is to restore the prestige of our Justice Association in this Southern Region Grand Competition.
However, it seems that you, senior brother, are more suitable for this qualification than I am.
As a junior disciple, I should respect my senior brother; therefore, I entrust this refereeing role to you, senior brother.
"To revive the reputation of the Supreme Court? I think it's just a way to make money."
Liang Hao ruthlessly exposed Zhang Yang's trick.
Zhang Yang gave an awkward smile but did not refute: "So, senior brother, what do you think?"
"Fine, considering we're from the same sect, I won't hold it against you. Give me the right to conduct the public trial."
"Senior brother, the qualifications for a public trial also need to be recognized by those members of the Confucian Sage Sect."
The right to conduct the public trial can only be transferred if they agree, but I'll take the initiative to do it, so there shouldn't be any problem.
"So troublesome? Do we really have to make a trip to the Confucian Sage Sect?"
"No need for that. The Confucian scholars will be coming to the palace tomorrow. We can just meet them and explain the situation."
Wu Yousheng nodded, "Elders, what he said is true. Tomorrow, the people from the Confucian Sage Sect will enter the palace to meet the Emperor."
"but."
Zhang Yang reminded him again.
"Senior, you need to be careful about one person; the other public judges are all easy to talk to."
That fellow named Kong Lian is particularly troublesome; Senior Brother, you must be careful.
Upon hearing this, Liang Hao became angry: "What, how troublesome is Kong Lian? Does he have three heads and six arms or something? If he dares to cause me any trouble, I'll just punch him to death."
Zhang Yang: "That's not the case. Kong Lian is a pedantic scholar. As an inner sect steward of the Confucian Sage Sect, his cultivation has already broken through to the ethereal and unfathomable Profound Realm."
Upon hearing this, Liang Hao sneered: "A mere Profound Realm expert? I thought he was some great figure. Don't make him sound as terrifying as an emperor."
"It's not a matter of strength. I just want to remind you, senior brother, that Kong Lian is a seasoned female boxing master, you know?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Hao immediately thought of Huang Xiaoting, the female boxer from Chunyang Palace, whom he had encountered in the Heavenly Absolute Holy Land. His face twitched involuntarily, and he was so angry that his teeth itched.
"Damn it, you want to fight? I'm going to meet him in person tomorrow!"
Shen Zhao looked at him with distrust: "Are you sure you want to face the female boxer alone?"
“A Nirvana cultivator cannot be humiliated. Brother, please rest assured, I will definitely reclaim everything I lost in the past.”
Seeing his unwavering resolve, Shen Zhao stopped trying to dissuade him.
But his eyes revealed endless suspicion.
The female boxers in this world are just as formidable as those in the world before I transmigrated. Can you handle it?
...
Meanwhile, outside the palace gates, Yin Jiao'e and Su Xuejiao kowtowed repeatedly to a middle-aged man dressed in a Confucian robe.
The middle-aged man weighed the storage bag in his hand, nodded, and raised his hand: "Alright, I understand your situation. Come with me to the palace tomorrow morning."
Su Xuejiao was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Senior, can you really take me into the palace?"
"Of course, not only can you go in, you can also stay there. In the Southern Region, there is nothing that Kong Lian cannot do, so you two can rest assured."
Upon hearing this, the mother and daughter immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
“Senior, you are a highly respected sage of the Confucian school. Given my daughter’s talent, could you make an exception and accept her as a disciple?”
Yin Jiao'e looked at Kong Lian with anticipation.
Kong Lian glanced at Su Xuejiao, then shook her head and said, "To tell you the truth, although I have spent my whole life fighting for women's physical and mental freedom from the exploitation of vicious men..."
However, it would be very difficult for your daughter to enter the Confucian Sage Sect given her aptitude. But if your daughter can make it into the top twenty in this competition,
I can reluctantly recommend one person.
Upon hearing this, Su Xuejiao's disappointment was palpable.
She was very clear about her own abilities; she knew she couldn't even get into the top 20, let alone the top 200.
It's more likely they'll be eliminated in the first round.
After all, her cultivation level wasn't achieved through diligent practice, but entirely through the effects of medicine. Moreover, she lacked practical combat experience, so whether she could win against someone with a lower cultivation level depended entirely on fate.
Yin Jiao'e also saw her daughter's emotions and continued to plead: "Senior, could you please make an exception? Just think of it as a mother who has been running around and working hard for her daughter. Please."
"Oh well, never mind."
Kong Lian sighed.
"Considering the hardships you and your daughter have endured, I can't bear it, so I'll lend a hand. But you should know that this is a very difficult matter."
"I'm willing to pay any price as long as Xuejiao can enter the sect for further studies."
"Alright, I won't say anything more then. Three hundred thousand spirit stones, I'll pull some strings for you. You can start raising the money now. I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving now."
"Okay, thank you, senior."
After seeing Kong Lian off, Su Xuejiao asked worriedly, "Mother, where are we going to get 300,000 spirit stones?"
"Don't worry, Mother will find a way. As long as I can send you to the Confucian Sage Sect for further studies, I'm willing to pay any amount of money."
In fact, at this time, after the Huo family came to "collect debts," the Su family's economy was not as good as before.
The company still owes a large amount of debt and lacks liquid spirit stones, which has significantly impacted its business. It is now struggling to survive by selling off its assets.
When Yin Jiao'e thought of a way to raise money, she naturally decided to borrow "online loans" from the underground banks in Daliang City.
Su Xuejiao, however, was completely unaware of this and remained immersed in her fantasy of soon joining the Confucian Sage Sect.
