Chapter 125: Rewriting Another's Fate
Li Qing nodded. "After all, something this major has happened."
"Although Zuo Yan failed to survive his tribulation, the Owl God Seizes Food Tribulation still claimed nearly ten thousand lives. His actions were simply lawless!"
"To die beneath heavenly tribulation like that was letting him off too easily!" Li Qing gritted his teeth, his face filled with indignation.
"And the imperial court's response is enough to chill one's heart. They merely replied, 'We have been informed,' then hastily appointed a new official to take his place. Senior Duan risked his own life to slay the traitor and rendered such a tremendous service, yet the court didn't even spare a single word of acknowledgment." The more Li Qing spoke, the more resentful he became.
None of this surprised Li Shun.
The court had always acted this way.
When someone underwent tribulation, the court would not interfere.
Likewise, if someone chose to uphold justice and intervene, the court would not involve itself either.
He was just about to offer a few words of comfort when a heart-wrenching wail erupted from outside the door.
