"You..." Wu Qiujun almost passed out of indignation. His spiritual energy nearly went into a muddle. His mind was filled with fury, but he had no reason to confront Wandong for the that. Indeed, Wandong didn't make a clear reference to anyone. The pigeon-holing mindset only made a fool of Wu Qiujun himself. And Wandong did hit the nail on the heel — their anger simply boiled down to their condemned conscience.
It was the same case with Duan Lengyan. She had no option but to stay lost for words, as Wandong was right about them as far as it went.
However, their intense rage made no impact on Wandong at all. He looked back at the seriously injured youngster, "Are you a Qingyun man?"
They had never met before. But the youngster quite took to Wandong. His intuition told him that Wandong wouldn't hold him to hurt. Then he nodded heavily.
Wandong's speculation proved right. Feeling excited, he turned back to Wu Qiujun, "He is a regular Qingyun man. Don't you find it inappropriate to kill him on a spur of the moment?" He had his heart set on saving the youngster.
Wu Qiujun was aware of that. However, he would certainly hinder Wandong from managing that. Moreover, Wu Qiujun already made up his mind, unwilling to leave the youngster alive — he was dying to vent his anger today. "So what? I have every reason to kill him today as a punishment. You know he committed a crime today! He is a robber!"
Wandong shook his head forthwith, "Even if he went off with your commodities, it by no means constituted a felony. You can't just kill him on that pretext. And it was supposed to be the Qing Yun judiciaries to take care of the case, not the Tiezhan Empire! Well, I will send for police and get him arrested for interrogation."
"Heh. Xu Yaoting, I know what is on your mind. You wanna take him out in that way and you know he won't be killed once he leaves here. I know you through and through," Wu Qiujun sneered.
Feinting a cough, Wandong put on a serious look, "Old dog, that was a defamation! Everyone knows that my demeanor is of a perfect upright gentleman. I never do any dark deeds."
"Heh. Xu Yaoting, spare me your vacuous rhetoric. For your information, though the Tianbao Mansion is situated in Yunzhong City, we don't have to stay in compliance with the Qingyun laws. Inside the Tianbao Mansion, only the Tiezhan laws work. Now that he committed a crime here, he already activated the legal proceedings of the Tiezhan Empire. In other words, it's completely up to me to decide whether he should live or die. The Qingyun courts? None of their goddamned business!" Wu Qiujun's sense of superiority was ready to overflow.
"Asshole! Who agreed on that with you? How dare he go against the Qingyun laws?" Wandong flew off a handle. He couldn't come to the terms with the fact that the Tianbao Mansion was privileged to play the bully in the Qingyun Empire.
With Wandong showing his anger, Wu Qiujun went even more complacent and sneeringly dismissive, "Believe or not, that was no other than the Qingyun Emperor! Go and ask him yourself."
Wandong knitted his eyebrows tightly with great anxiety. Wu Qiujun was right about it. It stood to reason that the emperor could have done it — he was already past treatment.
