When Nan Xiao learned that the Jun Clan had actually laid hands on Ye Guan, he was absolutely furious. Ye Guan was someone he had personally brought back, his own man. And the Jun Clan dared to lay hands on Nan Xiao's men? That was tantamount to treating Nan Xiao like a nobody. In addition, he had just persuaded Ye Guan to join the Temple of the Gods. If the Jun Clan's actions made Ye Guan leave, it would be a huge loss. Nan Xiao was not one to just sit and dilly-dally. Without hesitation, he led a group from the Judicial Office straight to the Jun Estate. The Jun Estate was certainly grand, its gates towering like fortress walls. When Nan Xiao and his men arrived, an old man hurried out to greet them. He was Jun Yan, the Grand Elder of the Jun Clan. Seeing Nan Xiao's aggressive approach, Jun Yan immediately realized that they were here for trouble. His heart sank, but he still stepped forward and said, "What an honor for a Judicial Officer to visit—" Nan Xiao pointed angrily at Jun Yan. "Get that bastard Jun Quan out of here!" Jun Yan's expression turned ugly. He knew that this matter was related to the man and woman who had previously clashed with the Jun Clan. That bastard Jun Buqi! he cursed silently. Nan Xiao, as a Judicial Officer, held real authority in the Temple of the Gods. The Jun Clan could not afford to offend someone like him. Jun Yan weighed the situation and asked, "Judicial Officer, might I speak with you in private?" If money could solve the issue, that would be ideal. After all, aren't all officials corrupt to some degree? Nan Xiao glared at Jun Yan. "Tell that old dog to kneel and apologize to my brother. Once my brother has vented his anger, we'll let this go." Jun Yan's face immediately darkened. Jun Quan was the Jun Clan's second elder, a senior figure. If word got out that he had to kneel and apologize, it would be a devastating blow to the clan's prestige. Impossible! Jun Yan replied sternly, "Judicial Officer, from what I understand, it was those two who first acted out in our mall. Not only did they injure our young master, but they also killed four of our elite guards." Nan Xiao sneered. "Isn't it true that your young master harassed my brother's wife out of lust?" Ye Guan and Sang Mei arrived and overheard this. Ye Guan stepped forward to explain, but Nan Xiao quickly grabbed his hand. "Don't worry, brother," Nan Xiao said. "I'll make sure you get justice today." Sang Mei suddenly asked, "If we follow proper legal procedures, can we still get justice?" "Impossible!" Nan Xiao snapped. "Sister-in-law, do you realize that before I even arrived, the Jun Clan had already used their connections to bribe the lower officials? The paperwork is signed, and you two were already sentenced to death with immediate execution!" Ye Guan was stunned and turned to Sang Mei, whose face had turned ice-cold. "Damn it. They are way too corrupt." Ye Guan was speechless. Nan Xiao spoke earnestly. "Brother Ye, sister-in-law, only greater power can defeat power. Let me handle this." Ye Guan remained silent. Nan Xiao turned back to Jun Yan and shouted, "Arrest them!" With that command, his guards stormed toward the Jun Clan estate. "Who dares!" Jun Yan roared. In the next instant, dozens of terrifying auras burst forth from the Jun estate, blocking the guards. These were the Jun Clan's die-hard loyalists, fighters trained to obey only them. Nan Xiao narrowed his eyes. "What? The Jun Clan plans to rebel?" Jun Yan stared back. "Judicial Officer, according to divine laws, you need a warrant to arrest someone." "I'll write you one right now," Nan Xiao interrupted. He pulled out divine parchment and, with a few swift strokes, wrote a warrant and tossed it at Jun Yan. Seeing that, the Jun Clan's guards looked grim. Jun Yan demanded, "And may I ask what crime Elder Jun Quan is being charged with?" Nan Xiao said coldly, "I suspect him of treason and of being disloyal to the gods." Everyone was speechless. Jun Yan could no longer contain himself. "Judicial Officer, that is sheer nonsense. Everyone knows how loyal the Jun Clan is to the gods. You..." "Arrest them!" Nan Xiao barked. "Anyone who resists, kill them on the spot!" His guards moved in again, but just then, a terrifying energy swept across the area, sending them flying. For original chapters go to N()velFire.net Nan Xiao narrowed his eyes and turned to see an old man in a pitch-black robe standing at a distance. He was respectfully standing beside a stunning woman in a dark green dress. Her hair flowed down her back, and her expression was cold and regal. "Greetings, Young Lady!" The Jun Clan's experts bowed in unison. It was Jun You, the current head of the Jun Clan. She and the robed elder walked up to Nan Xiao's group. She addressed him calmly, "Judicial Officer, I've learned the details of the incident. Someone from my family acted improperly and offended this young lady. For that, we are willing to apologize." Jun You looked at Sang Mei. Sang Mei smiled politely. "It was a minor matter. I only slapped him because he wouldn't stop bothering me. As a fellow woman, you must understand how that feels, right?" Jun You nodded slightly. "We failed to discipline him. I apologize for the trouble he caused." Sang Mei continued, "He harassed me, and I slapped him. That should've been the end of it. But he got angry and tried to have us killed; that's no longer a small matter." Jun You's brows furrowed slightly. Sang Mei said, "Since you're being reasonable, let's be reasonable. The young master tried to kill us out of humiliation. My little brother acted in self-defense and killed his guards. Is that wrong?" Jun You said, "Go on." "After that, the Jun Clan tried to kill us again and interfered with the justice system to ensure our execution. In doing so, the Jun Clan committed several crimes, including sexual harassment, attempted murder, bribery, obstruction of justice... Do you admit it?" Ye Guan leaned toward Nan Xiao and whispered, "Are those even real charges under divine laws?" Nan Xiao nodded. "They are." Ye Guan was shocked and glanced at Sang Mei. How does she know all this? Was she a lawyer before? Sang Mei said, "And judging from the young master's behavior, it's clearly not the first time. He probably used threats and coercion against other women, too. Of course, that would require investigation." Jun You asked calmly, "You don't want to resolve this?" Sang Mei replied, "Of course I do. It depends on how you plan to resolve it." Jun You said, "In honor of Officer Nan Xiao, the Jun Clan is willing to compensate you. Let's treat this as if it never happened. What do you say?" Sang Mei turned to Ye Guan. "What do you think?" Ye Guan quickly said, "Whatever you decide is fine." Nan Xiao glanced at Ye Guan. This guy's definitely henpecked. Sang Mei nudged Ye Guan's shoulder. "Say something." Ye Guan thought for a moment. "If we refuse, it might look like we're the bullies." Sang Mei nodded. "When the law meets the powerful, conflict often ends . Getting some compensation is already seen as a favor." Sang Mei looked at Jun Buqi, who was glaring at them with hatred. Ye Guan noticed him too. "It's up to you. I'll follow your lead." Sang Mei rolled her eyes at him and turned to Jun You. "I believe the law shouldn't bow to lawbreakers. Hence, the criminals in the Jun Clan must be punished, especially Jun Buqi. Please cut off the 'weapon' he used in the attack." The Jun Clan experts erupted in outrage. Just then, Jun Quan appeared out of nowhere and shouted, "You've gone too far!" Jun You stared at Sang Mei and said after a moment, "Very well. If that's the case, go ahead and press charges against the Jun Clan through official channels." With that, Jun You turned around to leave. Sang Mei called out, "Doing good brings blessings. Doing evil brings disaster. Removing a criminal from your clan would be a blessing." Jun You paused and looked back at them. "Didn't you want justice? Then sue us. We'll see you in court. The Temple of the Gods has many departments; you're welcome to try." She walked off into the Jun Clan Residence. Nan Xiao was about to speak when the old man beside Jun You flicked his sleeve, sending a badge flying toward Nan Xiao. When he saw it, Nan Xiao narrowed his eyes. The old man glanced coldly at Ye Guan and Sang Mei. "Is being alive not good enough?" Then, he turned around and left. In the distance, Jun Buqi shot them one last venomous glare before also leaving. Nan Xiao gravely remarked, "Brother Ye, I'll handle this. Let's go." On the way back, Ye Guan asked Sang Mei, "Lady Sang Mei, can we win this lawsuit?" Sang Mei replied, "They're in the wrong. If we lose, that would be the fault of the Temple of the Gods. And the karmic consequences of the Jun Clan's evil will fall on them." Ye Guan sternly said, "They say good is rewarded and evil is punished, but I doubt the Temple will face any consequences..." Sang Mei smiled. "It'll be fine." "Honestly, I'm scared. My good days only just started..." "Don't worry about it, little swordsman." Sang Mei patted his shoulder. "The gods are always watching." Ye Guan tugged her sleeve and whispered, "That's what I'm afraid of. I am a blasphemer, after all." "Then, you'd better be careful," Sang Mei said sternly, "Don't ever expose your identity as a blasphemer. Otherwise, things are going to become way too dangerous for you."
