Chapter 596 - 589 Final Result
"Elder Tus, the defense map has been leaked, but it’s arguable that Jiao Xi isn’t the one who leaked it! Moreover, the jade talisman you gave us contains only one-third of the defense map. Anyone with a motive from the Sun and Moon Divine Guards could draw it from memory!"
Right as Yua Hanjing moved, she suddenly blocked in front of Punishment Hall Elder Tus De. Her eyes, filled with the panic that Jiao Xi had, settled somewhat when she saw Yua Hanjing.
Seeing Yua Hanjing speak, simultaneously, a complicated and indescribable expression surfaced on the faces of the high-ranking members of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, especially Vice Sect Hierarch Tian Guizhang, Yao Sen, Great Commander Jio Yuanxiu, Sunshine Hall Master Shen Cang, and Head of the Inner Affairs Hall Zhu Ling, which was particularly eerie.
Including Punishment Hall Elder Tus De, seeing Yua Hanjing blocking him, his imposing manner wasn’t as aggressive as before.
"Who exactly are you referring to as ’anyone with a motive,’ Lady Yua?"
"Take Liu Hong, for example! As the captain of the Guard Team, many of the defenses arranged by Jiao Xi go through him. If he harbors ill intentions, he could easily remember this defense map!" Yua Hanjing said.
"But Liu Hong was appointed the captain of the Guard Team by Jiao Xi himself. If he has ulterior motives..."
"Elder Tus, if you’re suggesting what I think you are, do all the people present here, if their subordinates cause trouble, need to prove their innocence to the Sect with their lives?
Or should everyone be taken to the Punishment Hall for interrogation? You all must be aware of what that place is, right?"
With these words from Yua Hanjing, the faces of all the senior members of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect present changed dramatically. It was an extremely sensitive issue; who doesn’t promote their subordinates?
