"Liu Qingtuan, Suo Chao!"
"Do you know about the court verdict tomorrow afternoon?”
"Commander, you mean…The demon from the border?"
"Yes, there's something I need you to do…"
...
"If he can survive ten rounds from me! I'll believe what you said!"
Suo Chao, who was sitting in the front row of the audience, stood up and raised his right leg. He stepped on the oak fence with his Martin military shoes. His index finger and middle finger brushed the silver bangs on his forehead to one side and pointed at the teenager kneeling in the middle of the deliberation hall in a provocative tone.
Such a rude and rude action was simply disregarding the rules of the military! This caused Chief Judge Lin to frown. However, with his rather experienced eyesight, he seemed to be able to see some clues. Therefore, he did not reprimand him on the spot. Instead, the deputy chief judge beside him could not hold it in any longer. He slammed the table and stood up as he reprimanded him sternly.
"Suo Chao! What kind of place do you think this is!"
Because of this scolding, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense. However, the man's provocation might be the best opportunity for Ye Jiu!
With Suo Chao's challenge, he could not only prove to the people of Imperial City that he could control the power of the Demon's curse, but also prove that he had the ability to play the key role that the girl had described.
As this thought flashed through his mind, the young man was not in a hurry to accept the challenge. He looked up at Jingmin…
Her beautiful eyes were like autumn water. The young lady was also looking at him at this moment. When their eyes met, it was unknown if there were sparks. However, this time, neither of them chose to avoid him. Her beautiful eyes blinked from time to time. The hope in her eyes had already expressed her attitude. Clearly, she also thought that this was a rare opportunity. It should be known that to the masses who did not know the truth, there was nothing more convincing than the truth that was verified with their own eyes!
Regardless of whether the verdict would turn into a duel because of the man's provocation, it was always beneficial to agree now.
"I…"
"Don't pick it up!"
Just as Ye Jiu was about to accept the challenge, Purple Nightmare's suggestion immediately interrupted him. Her serious tone, which was not joking, shocked his eardrums, causing doubt and wrinkles to appear between his eyebrows. Before he could ask for the reason, Purple Nightmare's voice was heard.
A dazzling golden light flashed past! Accompanied by a dull and long dragon roar!
The deafening noise had yet to dissipate. Through the colorful windows on both sides of the deliberation hall, the light entering the hall suddenly rose several levels. In the dazzling light, everything in front of them became dazed, causing everyone to squint their eyes.
Only when the light gradually became gentle did the surrounding things become clear. At the same time, a tall figure was already standing in the middle of the discussion hall. As he watched his luxurious attire slowly fade from the light, his suddenly opened arms wrapped around Jing Min's shoulders. The black robe with countless golden stripes immediately protected her under his body.
Although this middle-aged man had a weathered face, he unexpectedly exuded an indescribable noble temperament. Under his well-defined face, there was a shade of green that made people think of his handsome looks when he was young.
Even without mentioning the past, this handsomeness that had been tempered by time had a lot of lethality to women.
"Who made Min Er cry?"
His tone was sonorous and his voice was like a great bell.
It was Jingmin's father! The current commander-in-chief of Haining Country, Liu Cheng!
Commander Liu's presence was beyond everyone's expectations. Of course, the word " everyone " was a bit vague because Suo Chao, who was the first to salute the commander in the audience, had foreseen this. He had dared to say such absurd and rude words in the solemn deliberation hall just now. He was most likely instructed by someone. As a member of Liu Qing's regiment, he was Liu Cheng's direct subordinate.
From this, it could be seen who was the instigator? It was already very clear.
"Liu Cheng, this is the military court."
President Lin, who immediately understood the truth, frowned and whispered. Although the decibel was low, the weight was not reduced. After all, this was the deliberation hall! It was not a stage for acting!
Liu Chenggui was the head of a country. Therefore, except for the chief judge Lin Yunpo, no one dared to reprimand him in public, including the deputy judge who had just accused Suo Chao of ignoring the military law. He could only sit back in his seat awkwardly.
As for Jingmin, due to her father's special status, she would not throw a tantrum in such a public place. After all, she was a public figure. Any action could attract a lot of criticism. Even so, even if she did not show it openly, facing the arm that was coming over to her…
She twisted her shoulders in disgust. This small action was not eye-catching, but it also showed her attitude. Clearly, the conflict between the father and daughter was not simple.
"Ha ~ Liu Chengxian apologizes on behalf of his subordinates for their rudeness.”
In the face of his daughter's resistance, Liu Cheng not only showed helplessness, but also self-blame. After the conversation that day, he fully realized that he had not played the role of a good "father" all these years. The guilt that had accumulated for a long time was ultimately a matter of love. It was really not appropriate to put it in public. Now, he could only awkwardly withdraw his arm and apologize to President Lin on the deliberation table. Then, he continued.
"But things have already come to this. If we don't let everyone see this youth's strength, it will be difficult to convince everyone.”
Commander Liu, you mean..."
Liu Cheng could not stand it when President Lin called him Commander Liu. He knew that the white-haired old man sitting in the deliberation table was not only the Consul General of the Imperial City Military Court, but also his father-in-law! However, he also understood that this was not the time for a "family and friends meeting", so he immediately gave a solution…
" Why don't we let the two of them have a fight? If the young man can defeat my subordinates, and with Min 'er's testimony, then the fact that he killed the Curved-Horn Monster is most likely true. In other words, the young man is a human hero who fought against the Blackpeak Monster. We can completely put aside the matter of the mageweath for the time being.”
"Of course, I understand everyone's concerns. So, regardless of the outcome of this competition, I intend to give the young man a military rank and let him return to the border to fight against the Black Edge Army.”
The words slipped out of his mouth without a pause. It did not seem like he had made it up at all. He must have planned it long ago. However, he had to admit that this plan perfectly responded to the hearts of the people of the Imperial City. After all, a human who could control the power of the Demon Seal sounded ridiculous! It was indeed a little too much for them to accept such a character setting.
However, if Ye Jiu were to return to the border to fight, not only would he be able to contribute more or less to resisting the Black Front Army's attack, but he would also not have to worry about it all day long as he was far away in Imperial City. In other words, Commander Liu's suggestion was undoubtedly the best of both worlds for the people living in Imperial City!
When she heard that Ye Jiu had to return to the border to fight the Black Blade Army no matter what, Jing Min naturally refused to agree. After all, not every time there would be an opportunity like the previous one. Although with a sufficiently precise strategic deployment, miracles might not always be accidental, it was also not inevitable!
"No…"
Just as the young man was about to object to the suggestion, he was interrupted by a reply from behind him.
"Good! I accept the challenge."
Jingmin turned her head around in shock. Her right hand was clenched into a small fist as she held back the restlessness in her heart. She understood what the words " resist the Black Edge Army " meant! They could not be deployed, and they could not be transferred. They had to fight the Blackpeak demons to the death at the border! One had to know that the Black Front Army had a variety of species. The demon wave formed by demon birds was only common. No one could guarantee what would attack next…
As the saying goes, if you walk by the river often, how can you not wet your shoes? This was clearly pushing Ye Jiu into the fire pit!
However, the young man's unwavering gaze made Jingmin bite her pink lip. Even though her mouth was filled with a thousand unwillingness, she could only swallow it back down because she understood the young man's thoughts…
"Kid, I advise you to endure.”
"I don't have a choice. If I retreat now, things will really be endless.”
Although he had already spoken, the Purple Nightmare still maintained its opposition. It was obvious that it was worried about something. Ye Jiu did not have time to figure out the reason, but he knew very well that if he retreated at this juncture, how could he calm the suspicions in the hearts of the people?
He had no other choice!
