"I am sorry judge Yang Qing, but I am a bit lost. You're saying you're about to pass a verdict on our sect but this is the first I am hearing of any sort of grievance filed against us, and if there were, shouldn't we have been present to defend ourselves?
I may have not gone to the courts much but I have had a few acquaintances familiar with its working. As far as I know, unless I am mistaken, both parties need to be present.." said the Sect Master in a tone that was neither overbearing nor servile.
