Chapter 919: Artful Portrayal of Buddhas
“Mm!”
Fang Muyun nodded in acknowledgement and motioned for his academy fellows to keep silent. Then, he looked at Xiahou Qi and said, “Long time no see. You are as impressive as ever, Brother Xiahou.”
“Are you planning to defend them, Fang Muyun?” Xiahou Qi replied indifferently despite Fang Muyun’s greeting.
“No, I mean to mediate things.”
Fang Muyun did not get angry despite Xiahou Qi’s attitude. While wearing a gentle smile on his face, he said, “They are just a bunch of unruly kids. Although they had offended you, you have also taught them a lesson. So why don’t we leave things here?”
“And if I say no?” Xiahou Qi asked.
“Where it is possible to let people off, one should spare them.” Fang Muyun smiled. “They’re just a bunch of kids who know little about the ways of the world. Their conscience is good despite their ill manners. Why should a senior like you split hairs over a bunch of juniors?”
Ye Qing curled his lips. “Tsk tsk… as expected of a scholar. He overturned right and wrong, black and white in just a few words!”
It was clear as day that Xia Gongyang and his group of idiots were the ones at fault here, but after the truth was filtered through Fang Muyun’s mouth, it sounded as if Xiahou Qi was the one who abused his power.
