Chapter 511: Morals and Mores (2/2)

Mubai grabbed her hand and comforted her, ”Don't worry, I'm sure everything's fine.”

They had no idea that Munan was on his way to military court.

…

The courthouse was heavily guarded because many people would attend today's hearing. Everyone present held a certain weight in the military world.

Saohuang, Lin Yun, Gu Li, and Yan Lu were all there.

From those who came, some came because they cared about Munan, others were there simply because they knew this was going to be a huge case. They didn't care about how it went.

Elder Xi with Jiangnian's support arrived at the courthouse wearing their military fatigue.

Other than Gu Li and Yan Lu, everyone avoided them like plague. Too many things had happened to the Xi family lately; they were afraid that they would be affected by the Xi family's bad luck if they wandered too close.

This was a complete 180 from before. Before, everyone couldn't wait to align themselves with the Xi family…

One couldn't help but lament the realistic nature of human hearts.

Elder Xi seemed to have grown even older in the past few months. Initially, he still commanded an impressive charisma, like a tiger watching over the whole jungle.

Now, this tiger had been declawed and lay weakly waiting for his end to come.

Some still greeted them out of courtesy, but when they saw Elder Xi, they sighed internally. The unifying thought was, no matter how glorious the Xi family was, they weren't invincible.

Tragedy could strike at any moment and a large family could topple overnight.
