Chapter 1242: Chapter 1246: Young Spirit Court Goddess

“Impossible things are just impossible; what need is there for ironclad evidence? Some matters require no proof, only the most basic common sense to make judgments!” said the watchful observer coldly.

“Exactly, when you chose to adopt from our Young Spirit Court, you signed and agreed to some of our punitive mechanisms. We will judge whether you are guilty based on common sense. Of course, there are people from various sectors as White Pavilion onlookers who will vote by casting white or black pieces,” the leader of the Black Pavilion said.

Zhu Minglang was stunned for a moment. Had he really signed such a thing?

It seemed that when he was adopting, there was indeed a lengthy document, and he signed it without reading carefully.

“Wait a minute, Black Pavilion leader, according to what you just said, doesn’t that mean Chang Xu had signed it too? Then isn’t he guilty of knowingly adopting Young Spirits and then selling them as livestock, only needing the butcher who bought his Young Spirits to testify against him and his guilt can be established?” Zhu Minglang said.

“Do you think you need to teach me how to judge cases!” Black Pavilion leader angrily said.

“Hmph, it’s not that I refuse to accept my guilt. I sold the large Juvenile Spirits that were impossible to transform into dragons to the butchers, then used the money to buy food to feed more starving Young Spirits. What’s wrong with that? I can admit my guilt and accept punishment, but I should also deserve some understanding and a reduced sentence,” Chang Xu said.

“Annoying, so annoying, I’m most sick of you people who exploit loopholes. Have Chang Xu’s hands chopped off, and if he repeats the offense, behead him. Lock this kid in the Water Cell for a year, and henceforth, he is forbidden from adopting Young Spirits and is barred from entering Young Spirit Court territories for life!” The Black Pavilion leader, unable to bear it anymore, said angrily.

“Black Pavilion leader, if you are going to enforce the law so wildly, why bother establishing such a pavilion? In the future, just write down whatever crime the Young Spirit Court wants to charge people with and execute it violently. After all, you have the gods backing you, ordinary people dare not resist. When the Patrol God questions why the deities of the Young Spirit Court oppress mortals like this, you can use this method too, without needing to ascertain the reason, just directly decree that it’s the gods who instructed you to act this way!” Zhu Minglang said.

“You… Do you know what you’re talking about? Abandoning Young Spirits is one thing, accusing and insulting the gods is a grave crime!!” The Black Pavilion leader said furiously, embarrassed and angry.

“Turns out I’m slandering and insulting your gods, but it’s your barbaric enforcement that is truly an insult to the gods you worship!” Zhu Minglang said with righteous indignation.

“You… you rat who abandoned Young Spirits, you can’t even bear this responsibility, what right do you have to evaluate the god who strives for all living beings!!” the Black Pavilion leader roared in rage.

“Don’t pin this disgrace of insulting the gods on me. If your Young Spirit Court can’t handle such a minor matter properly, it shows that your court leader, your god, is incompetent. I thought you had a wise system and an admirable law enforcement structure, but it turns out to be just for show, proclaiming merely grand slogans,” Zhu Minglang continued to rebuke.

“Wahhhhh!!!! You… you impudent renegade with no reverence for the heavens… damn it, didn’t I tell you to lower the curtains? The sunlight is blinding my eyes!” the Black Pavilion leader was going crazy.

Aside from the fierce sunlight, a light green gentle light also sprinkled down.

Soon, a woman floated over in the tender green light; she was sitting sideways on a White Tiger Dragon, skimming the thin lake water.

Seeing the woman, the leaders of the White Pavilion knelt down, paying respects to her.

The wild temper of the Black Pavilion leader was also instantly suppressed, bowing hurriedly to the side.

The watchman bowed.

“I already heard your arguments from inside the mountain court,” the woman said, looking mature, not extraordinarily celestial in beauty but every move exuded elegance and grace.

“The minor has failed his duties, allowing this arrogant thief to speak wildly, touching your divine hearing,” said the Black Pavilion leader.

“Young man, do you have any dissatisfaction with our god?” the woman asked.

“Not really, just a bit unhappy with the people under you, for being rough, brutal in enforcement, disregarding the facts, and being mindless,” said Zhu Minglang.

“Our God, he is the one seeking the mark recognition, we don’t believe he can raise a Little Fox Spirit into a Nine-tailed Dragon at the growth stage within a month,” the watchman said.

“A month’s time huh, from Fox Spirit to growth stage Nine-tailed Dragon, so from nothing to Monarch Level??” the woman said.

“Yes. It’s like going from no Cultivation Base to Monarch Level, and we’ve checked, this is his first dragon pet,” the watchman had done his homework, clearly aiming for a solid case.

“Even the gods find this hard to achieve, so how did you do it?” the woman paced up to Zhu Minglang, looking into his eyes.

“Miracles, there are many miracles in this world,” said Zhu Minglang.

“Ha ha, Lady Qingchen goddess is wise and valiant, she’s already said that not even gods can achieve it, yet you, boy, still refuse to admit, if you haven’t lied, then I am willing to accept the punishment of amputation!” Chang Xu, the peddler, said at this moment.

“Is it your turn to speak?” the Black Pavilion leader scolded, adding, “Our God, this boy is indeed arrogant, and he publicly insulted my ability to judge cases. If he truly is innocent, I am willing to resign from the position of the Black Pavilion leader.”

“If he is innocent, I will kneel and apologize for my rough enforcement. But if he is indeed guilty, please impose a severe punishment, such a person cannot be allowed to run rampant!” the watchman also said.

The goddess of the Young Spirit Court nodded, clearly all the law enforcers had really taken it up with this young man.

The goddess of the Young Spirit Court approached Zhu Minglang again, and sternly said,

“Actually, your case can indeed be directly convicted here in our Young Spirit Court. If you have any remorse, confessing and submitting to the law now can merit a lighter sentence. Seeing you’re also young, skip the Water Cell, just spend three months doing chores in this mountain court to atone…”

Zhu Minglang shook his head, equally serious, “I won’t confess to something I didn’t do.”

“You really don’t know what’s good for you, our God has already been so lenient with you!” the Black Pavilion leader said.

“I confess, I confess, Our God, please forgive me, I will not offend again, please be sure to forgive me,” Chang Xu the peddler immediately knelt down, not daring to argue any further in the presence of a god.

“Let it be so, but if my mark recognition determines you indeed abandoned a Young Spirit, then the punishment you’ll face will be even heavier. This is a covenant between me, your god, and you, a mortal. I want to forgive you, but the covenant god will also punish you.”

“Please,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Alright!”

The goddess of the Young Spirit Court obviously didn’t believe Zhu Minglang, but even if he was a mortal, he still needed to confess, to make him convinced and submit willingly.
