Chapter 2075 - Insipid
Lie Xingqu’s pupils constricted. “You plan to get even with the Second Libationer?”
“Why shouldn’t I?” asked Su Yi.
Lie Xingqu grimaced. “The Second Libationer controls the Staff of Divine Punishment. Here in the City of the Beginning, he’s practically invincible. If you disregard the rules and attack, I’m afraid the consequences will be dire.”
He was putting it politely. If fighting really broke out, according to the rules of the City of the Beginning, the Grand Libationer was likely to object!
Moreover, Second Libationer Qin Wenxiao was backed by the ancient Qin Family, one of the mightiest clans in the Path of the Ancient Gods. A falling out with Qin Wenxiao would mean risk of reprisal even after Su Yi left for the path of trials.
“Invincible?” Su Yi’s eyes flashed. “Not necessarily. Seems to me that if the Mirror of Acuity and Drum of Injustice were present, Qin Wenxiao’s behavior would make him first in line to be punished for breaking the rules!”
Lie Xingqu rubbed his forehead. “The crux of the matter is that the Mirror of Acuity has been stolen, and the Drum of Injustice is no longer usable. If you get even with the Second Libationer without a justifiable reason, you’ll be deemed a rulebreaker.”
Luo Xuanji said out of nowhere, “You’re wrong. You said it yourself earlier: right now, in the City of the Beginnings, it’s up to you three libationers to determine what is and isn’t in accordance with the rules. Thus, when we settle things with the Second Libationer, the final results will be in accordance with a certain idiom.”
“Which idiom?” Lie Xingqu asked curiously.
“'History is written by the winners!'” Luo Xuanji said leisurely. “If he loses, he’ll become the rule-breaking criminal, don’t you think?”
Lie Xingqu’s expression shifted erratically. In the end, he gnashed his teeth and said, “I’ll go pay the Chief Libationer a visit. I’ll do everything in my power to win his support!”
