Chapter 536 - Trial Result (1/2)

“Silence.” The judge knocked for order with a gavel, and a buzzing sound filled everyone’s eardrums. The disciples couldn’t help but feel dizzy and didn’t dare to say more.

However, Wan Miantang, the dean of the East Courtyard, quirked his brows and said, “I didn’t expect Myriad Dao Academy to be so attractive. What’s your position in Reincarnation Palace?”

Yin Nian came out and gave a salute. “To answer the Dean, my name is Yin Nian, a disciple of the Palace Master of Reincarnation Palace, son of the Moon Envoy, and also the Young Palace Master of Reincarnation Palace. I’ve always held great respect for Myriad Dao Academy and have come to take the exam.”

As soon as Yin Nian said this, there was an uproar around him.

Wan Miantang was about to laugh. Seven years ago, there was a Huarong Sword Immortal, who was unparalleled in the limelight and made all the candidates less famous since then. Seven years ago, there hadn’t been other interesting people.

But this exam was different. The exams had just started and it’d only been a few days since entering the school. It turned out that there were such interesting things happening already. It seemed that the days of Myriad Dao Academy would not be so boring.

Wan Miantang said, “Okay, I understand. Please step down for the time being.”

Yin Nian agreed. In a move to provoke Ying Guanchao, who had offended him, he raised his chin and returned to the crowd.

After Yin Nian walked back, there was a large empty space around him.

An unknown disciple gritted his teeth. “Don’t tell me that Myriad Dao Academy will even accept adulterers and murderers from Reincarnation Palace?”

Yin Nian kicked over and said, “You tell this young master clearly. Who is the adulterer and who is the murderer?”

The disciple got kicked and immediately laid on the ground, crying.

Yin Nian drew down the corners of his mouth, rolled his eyes, and stood silent.

It seemed that some veins were standing out on his forehead.

Wan Miantang enjoyed himself for a while, and the dean of the South Courtyard, who was next to him, glanced at him. “It seems that you want to accept him.”

Wan Miantang said, “It depends on fate. Courtyard choice goes both ways. No one can force another person to choose a Courtyard.”

The dean of the South Courtyard was a woman with fine wrinkles on the corners of her eyes, but the years had not taken away her beauty. On the contrary, it gave her a heavy feeling of experience.

The dean of the South Courtyard said, “Since you are willing to speak for him, it seems that you really have a good impression of him.”

Wan Miantang replied, “It is better to say that it’s not bad.”

Some of the disciples below expressed great suspicion and dissatisfaction with Yin Nian’s arrival. They all thought that Yin Nian, the evil spirit of Reincarnation Palace, would bring in the style of Reincarnation Palace into Myriad Dao Academy, so they immediately expressed resistance.

Everyone’s line of sight went back to Shen Congrong.

The judge said, “Do you have evidence?”

Shen Congrong knew he was asking about those people who wanted to kill him first.

Shen Congrong said faintly, “Because it was at a critical moment, there was no time to procure evidence.”

The judge’s long, narrow eyes squinted slightly, saying, “This sect will not tolerate murder in the evil spirit array. Since you can’t produce evidence, this Judge will hand down the sentence.”

Shen Congrong seemed to have anticipated it. His face did not change as he said, “It’s up to you.”

Shen Congrong was obviously a temperamental person. He didn’t want to say much. Even if people forced him to speak, he would never say more.

Ying Guanchao had been thinking about how to kill Shen Congrong. As long as he didn’t enter Myriad Dao Academy, he wouldn’t be protected by the sect’s rules. It was as simple as killing an ant.

Besides, it was said that there was another person who came out with Shen Congrong. He was the only one alive, and he likely had something to do with this matter. While the man still wasn’t admitted, he wanted to grind him down for a good while. He was sure he could get something from asking him.

However, just when the verdict was ready to be decided, Yin Changge stood up.

He said, “I disagree.”

Shen Congrong suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Yin Changge, who had already walked out of the crowd. He said, “What are you doing? I didn’t have much expectation from Myriad Dao Academy, so I’ll just leave. What does that have to do with you?”

Yin Changge looked at Shen Congrong, and his pale face showed a sarcastic smile. “Did you really think that if you shouldered everything and left, it would end the matter? It isn’t that simple. The man sitting over there, the person from the Ying family,” He pointed towards where Ying Guanchao sat, “do you know what he’s thinking in his heart? As soon as you step outside this sect, he will kill you. And you want to protect me, but don’t forget that I am the only one who left the evil spirit array with you. Even though it seems it has nothing to do with me, do you think they will believe this?”

Shen Congrong froze.

Ying Guangchao was grim-faced as he looked at this guy who came out from nowhere.

The judge looked at Yin Changge and asked, “Is there something hidden about this matter?”

Yin Changge nodded. “Naturally, there is.”

Yin Changge rummaged through a small cloth bag hanging around his waist, took out a palm-sized crystal jade, and presented it to the judge. Then he backed away and bowed his head. “It was them who bullied me first, and Shen Dage attacked them to protect me, but those people became angry from embarrassment, and they wanted to kill Shen Dage. So this is considered justifiable defense.”

Looking at this piece of crystal jade, the four deans sitting beside the judge also saw this crystal jade.

Although the five people didn’t speak to each other, their eyes were communicating with one another. This child was dressed in rags and looked like a child from a poor family. Unexpectedly, he made such an expensive move.
