513 I Trust Her 4 (2/2)

The Lord nodded a little, ”Don’t speak if you’re still feeling uncomfortable.”

”Alright… Yes,” said Gu Xijiu.

He then returned his attention to the elder, ”I don't need you to teach my own follower!” The elder was out of words. It was him who was trembling in cold sweats this time.

Icily, the punisher next to The Lord said, ”My Lord will teach his follower personally, what makes you think he needs an outsider to interrupt? How dare you reprimand The Lord’s follower in front of him, do you wish to die?”

As sweats filled all over the elder’s face, he kneeled and gave The Lord a kowtow, ”I know I’ve made a mistake, please punish me.”

However, The Lord did not even bother to look at him. His voice was still icily cold, ”We’ll talk about the punishment later. We shall proceed with the proper business now.” Calmly, he instructed messenger Jiangshan, ”Go and examine the body.” He then instructed the Punisher, ”You’ll go and check the scene.” Both of them accepted their commands and went off.

The Lord took out a chessboard out of nowhere and started playing with it to distract himself from boredom.

Gu Xijiu was quiet. The rest of the people did not know what to say. The way in which The Lord handled the case was straightforward and fierce, and the room was quiet all of a sudden. They could sometimes hear the clear sound of the chess pieces being placed on the chessboard by The Lord.

Gu Xijiu did not feel anything, as she was sitting comfortably in the big chair. However, it was torture for other people, as they were still kneeling.

The construction of the floor in this room was an exceptional style. Because the room was used to judge guilty disciples, the floor was thus covered with a type of stone with rough surfaces to display the severity and power of the official to these disciples. Even walking on it would cause a lot of pain let alone kneeling.
