The Oasis Court is located in the center of the Second Oasis.
Outside the ancient and elegant building stands a tall statue of the goddess of justice, holding a scale in her left hand and a sword of judgment in her right hand.
A blond Omega in a General Services Administration uniform quickly jumped up the stairs and handed the coffee in his hand to an Alpha who was also in uniform.
"Your black coffee."
Jin Yi took it expressionlessly, sniffed it first, and then took a sip.
“There are so many people today…”
Xingyao stood on the stairs two steps lower than him, looking at the crowd of reporters and officials under the goddess statue.
Jin Yi said "hmm" lightly, and lowered his gaze. "After all, it's Pei Ji's lawsuit."
From his angle, he could just see the black collar under Xingyao's long hair.
Because the back of his neck was exposed, he used this to cover the gland today. He also hung a turquoise in front that matched the uniform and sprayed a pine-scented suppressant spray.
A guy who loves beauty.
Omega's pheromones are mostly sweet scents like flowers or fruits, but Xingyao is different. His pheromones taste like bitter coffee.
It's still that kind of astringent, bitter concentrated coffee without sugar.
Xingyao doesn't like the taste of herself.
In his words: Life is already hard enough, who would want to stay with someone whose life is even harder than his?
So he always tries to cover up his own smell.
Jin Yi could often smell all kinds of scents from him, rain, fog, grass, flowers, candy... but could hardly smell his own scent.
He once told Xingyao frankly that he liked concentrated, unsweetened black coffee.
Xingyao showed an expression of sudden enlightenment at that time.
Then I started buying him coffee the next day.
Stupid guy.
Jin Yi sniffed the coffee in his hand again.
In fact, only Xingyao was needed to come today. He was a witness for the prosecution and also had to appraise the value of the lost symbiotic stone.
But when Xingyao heard about the Star Network Media, she was so scared that she stuck to Jinyi for the whole day, at least trying to get him to support her.
A timid guy.
Jin Yi's eyes lingered on his perfectly styled hair.
The blond Omega didn't know what he was thinking. He looked at the noisy crowd for a while, then looked at the statue of the goddess of justice above his head, and rubbed his fingertips on the uneven surface of the coffee cup.
"You said... Is there really such a thing as fairness and justice in this world?" he suddenly asked Jin Yi.
Alpha's voice was cold and calm: "No."
He stood there, like the lofty yet cold and ruthless statue of the goddess of justice.
"Fairness and justice are relative. Humans are biased creatures, often only willing to stand on their own side and promote fairness and justice within their own perception."
Xingyao pulled the corner of her mouth, "Why are you speaking so cruelly..."
"I'm just stating the facts," Jin Yi said. "Instead of feeling sad about things you can't control, it's better to do what you can."
Xingyao bit her lip: "But I feel like I can't do anything right."
He gripped his coffee cup nervously.
"Tell me... I won't say anything wrong in court later, will I... cause trouble for the director?"
"I want to prove that Lucas lost the ore due to his negligence, and also prove that the ore is very rare...right..."
"Well, what should I do? I'm so nervous... I can't let the Director down!"
A slightly hot temperature touched her cheek, and Xingyao screamed "Ah!" "What are you doing?"
He covered half of his face.
"You don't need to prove anything." Jin Yi took back the coffee cup and said concisely, "You just need to tell the facts you know."
Xingyao drooped her eyes and turned her head away with a humph. "It's easy for you to say..."
Soon, his eyes lit up.
"The Director is here!"
Jin Yi followed his gaze.
It didn't require any effort, because the huge crowd of people waiting at the door, along with the filming equipment floating in the air, all moved in that direction.
The lord and the young lord's airships landed one after another.
Pei Li and Ai Fan, dressed in traditional Baishaxing costumes, were the first to come down.
The Knights parted the crowd to make a path.
Accompanied by the butler Barry, the stern lord and the elegant and calm lord's wife stood solemnly in front of the statue of the goddess of justice, and then walked arm in arm into the solemn courtroom.
Then came Pei Ji and Shen Que.
"Hiss..." Xingyao moved closer to Jinyi, "Why do I feel...something is not right..."
Jin Yi frowned.
That's indeed not right.
Pei Ji and Shen Que wore matching dress suits with long black cloaks.
There is nothing wrong with their clothing. The well-cut suits make both of them look heroic and very pleasing to the eye.
What's problematic is the atmosphere between the two people.
It feels... unfamiliar.
Pei Ji had a gloomy face, with an unhappy arc at the corner of his mouth. His already cold and hard facial lines looked even sharper, and the corners of his eyes were a terrifying red, giving off an extremely oppressive feeling.
The moment he got off the boat, the StarNet reporters who had surrounded him took three steps back, leaving him a path that was wider than the one the lord had just walked through.
He didn't even look at Shen Que. He got off the spaceship and walked straight towards the goddess statue, his flying cloak billowing out a sense of arrogance and pride.
Shen Que had a calm expression on his face. He got off the boat with the help of a maid, walked slowly but steadily along the path Pei Ji had taken, arrived in front of the goddess statue, and stopped beside him.
There was no communication between the two while they stood in prayer.
Seeing Pei Ji once again leaving Shen Que behind and walking into the courtroom, Xingyao unconsciously tightened her grip on the coffee cup, "Doesn't he know that the Director is not feeling well and can't walk fast? Can't he just wait for him?"
