The Temporary Court

As Long Jun met his grandfather and Fang Zaiji Father, to his surprise they didn't seem to think what he and Fang Zaiji did was a big deal.

" From your aura, it is easy to sense you kids are pretty worried and anxious but believe me there is no need to be so troubled. As Cultivators, it is only natural that we are superior to common folks and what you did is nothing uncommon. Most Strong Cultivators and Cultivation Organisation are controlling some villages in Dark, that's their source of Cultivators who only follow orders without considering any consequences for themselves like Dark Task Hall of High Heaven Pavillion, Blood Warriors Hall of Blood Battle Gang and Stormers of Storm House. My child, it is normal for your emotions to be a mess right now because of your inexperience but always remember, the most important thing for us Cultivators is our Dao Heart, we can only Cultivate for as long as our Dao Heart is steady. Any Emotional Fluctuations can affect Dao Heart so a Cultivator must always remain calm no matter the ongoing situation. Do you understand, kids?" Long Jun Grandfather Long Zai Tian comforted and taught them.

" I have learned. " Both Fang Zaiji and Long Jun replied.

Fang Zaiji father, Fang Yun placed his hand on Long Zai Tian shoulder and asked, " Uncle Tian, I want to agree to Qiu Family proposal of marrying Qiu Ye Meng with Fang Zaiji and he also has no objections but I want to know, what do you think about this arrangement ?"

--------------------------------------------

The Temporary Court was in common area of the Three Forces, a big area was cleared, Cultivators from all three forces were gathered in small groups, chatting and exchanging information and discussing recent events.

A stage was also set up, with Three chairs placed over it for Judges to sit on. Heads of all three forces were sitting on them with indifferent expressions, observing disciples below who were looking at them with awed and longing expressions.

In front of stage, 2 rows of chairs were arranged, 1st for Elders and 2nd for Core Disciples.

Between them was a area that was in depression compared to surrounding by 20 centimetres, in it, The Two Accused Long Jun and Fang Zaiji were standing upright with light smiles.

They were no longer nervous.

Since they moment they planned it, they were prepared to be discovered.

They often discussed how to handle the matter once it is exposed. In the end, they decided best way to deal with it will be to let their biggest relience that is Long Zai Tian and Fang Yun handle it.

Expecting the worst they presented themselves as nervous and uneasy about their future. Show themselves as inexperienced and naive like they have realised only now how badly they have fucked up.

Unexpectedly, they didn't care about it at all.

Maybe they already knew and didn't want or care enough to confront them about it, it might be because of difference in mentality.

As Cultivators, they have already experienced some changes in mentality, when they went from a Mortal to a Cultivator, and every time they break through. They will feel instinctively superior than non- Cultivators.

After hearing Long Zai Tian words earlier, they had no more worries now.

They will no safe, their parents will take care of it.

Even if there was no assurance like they received earlier. They were not very worried. Long Jun knew his Grandfather cared about him way more than he did for his younger brother, even if he were to give up on him for whatever reason.

Fang Zaiji was only son of Fang Yun. No matter the mess he creates, his father will take care of it.

" Quiet. " A shout sounded from stage.

All disciples and Elders stopped their small talks and looked forward.

Fang Yun was the one who spoke just now, right now he was sitting in middle chair with High Heaven Pavillion Head, Ling Tai Zu and Blood Battle Group Head, Hu Man on his left and right respectively with their eyes closed.

The positioning made it clear who will be the one to make the Final decision.

Some Elders of High Heaven Pavillion and Elders from Hu Man faction were already grinning, they were sure their leaders must have gotten significant resources for staying this quite and relaxed like this.

Su Yan, Su Mu and Su Xuan Wu chairs were positioned directly opposite to where Long Jun and Fang Zaiji were standing.

Both Su Yan and Su Mu were very righteous and heroic due to their careful upbringing by their Grandfather, they, unlike Long Jun and Fang Zaiji weren't spoiled by their family.

Seeing they were still smiling, after killing and ruining lives of several innocent people, both siblings felt enraged, their Grandfather although angry as well, knew things his grandchildren didn't with his high position in sect and had already expected matter will be suppressed in the end.

Su Xuan Wu said while sighing, " I hope you two never become like them. "

Fang Jun, " After a joint investigation by our Three Forces, it has been found the successor of My Strom Hall, Fang Zaiji and and successor of Blood Battle Hall, Long Jun who have been accused by Su Yan, successor of High Heaven Pavillion to be backers of the Three women beheaded by her this afternoon after they were found stealing resources from their respective organisations, at the time she discovered these betrayers, she was being accompanyed by 2nd Elder of High Heaven Pavillion, Head of Blood Battle Hall and Deputy Head of my Storm Hall. Her words have been verified to be true. Fang Zaiji and Long Jun have been found guilty and are hereby sentenced to spend 2 years in my Storm House Dungeon.

At Fang Yun wordy, only the two accused didn't react at all. They already knew he will say this but everyone else was baffled.

This was simply too unexpected.

Especially, the other two judges, they thought since Fang Yun gave them benefits to let him be the decision maker. He did it to save his son's reputation and declare the accusations false.

It is important to note Storm House has no Dungeons. It only has one prison which is called Cave of Death, and that place can only either be entered by House Head or by his permission.

It is obvious Fang Yun is just bullshitting with a smile.

" Confidently speaking balant white lies like this without even blinking, he is a good leader indeed. " Long Jun whispered to Fang Zaiji.

So Rather than saying he sentenced Fang Zaiji and Long Jun for their crimes to stay two years in prison, it is more like he gave them an excuse to not appear in public again for 2 years.

" He made good use of an unexpected opportunity. " One of the elders in front row said with admiration.

" Who knows if it was really accidentally discovered or planned other than the parties involved." Another Elder replied.

Su Yan asked, feeling puzzled " Grandfather, what are these elders talking about? Why will Long Jun and Fang Zaiji ruin their own reputation like this? "

After thinking for some seconds Su Xuan Wu replied," I do have some speculations, First, It's related to their Cultivation. Second, Long Zai Tian is about to tear out a chuck of Blood Battle Hall and join Storm Hall this right now was just an advanced preparation to keep their successors safe in case of any unexpected situation. Third, They recently found some secret skill they want to cultivate to increase there strength but it requires time and to not be disturbed. I can only think of these possibilities. "
