“Are you going to blame me for distracting you if you are having trouble pooping too?” Mo Fan asked the Judicator sincerely.

“Watch your tongue!” the Judicator snapped.

“Why don’t you mind your own tongue first? Let’s put aside the question of why I still have a Marking left by the Heresy Judgment Court for now. Even if I do have a Mark, have I done anything that breaks the rules of the Heresy Judgment Court!?” Mo Fan demanded in return.

“Having a Marking makes you suspicious, so it’s necessary to question you! Who exactly are you? Reveal your identity at once, and stop wasting my time!” the Judicator demanded sternly.

“Oh? That’s the last thing I’m going to do!” Mo Fan declared stubbornly.

The Judicator’s face immediately darkened.

Seeing this, Muse Pelina came over. She explained when she saw the tension between the two, “Judicator, this is Mo Fan, a family member of one of our Candidates.”

“You’re Mo Fan?” The Judicator had a weird expression, like a doubtful bailiff who had stumbled into a repented criminal.

The Judicator did not interrogate Mo Fan any further after learning his identity.

It was obvious that the Judicator was after the real heretic. If the Judicator had been polite, Mo Fan might have considered pointing him in the right direction. He believed they were after the man in the monk’s robe. However, after witnessing their attitude, Mo Fan was suddenly unsure of which side was the real heretic now.

After Judicator Maule left, Muse Pelina inspected Mo Fan with glittering eyes.

“Judicator Maule mentioned there was someone who was blatantly walking around and another who was hiding in the dark. It turns out that you were the one blatantly walking around. You are truly a problematic guy,” Pelina said in an unfriendly tone.

“Is the wind stronger for those in a higher position? Why do I feel like none of you up there has a sound mind?” Mo Fan responded promptly.

Pelina ignored Mo Fan’s sneer.

Priest Dowell was worried the conflict would escalate further at this rate. He quickly switched the topic, “Muse Pelina, did something serious happen? Why is a Judicator of the Heresy Judgment Court here? Mo Fan has been with us all the time. I don’t think he has done anything that has crossed the line?”

Pelina slowly shifted her gaze away from Mo Fan. If the Heresy Judgment Court was keeping an eye on Mo Fan, she believed it was no longer necessary to keep everything a secret, and stopped avoiding the topic. She explained, “Do you know how the Heresy Judgment Court judges whether a person is a heretic?”

“I’m not familiar with the process. Please enlighten me,” Priest Dowell said respectfully.
