Chapter 64 -64 Demanding Justice_1

Chu Liang returned to Silver Sword Peak and carefully perused the laws of Shu Mountain.

There were not many clauses about Red Cotton Market, and even fewer about the stall fee. There was only one rule: If you were selling large goods, occupying a large space, and disturbing the order of Red Cotton Market, you would need to pay a ten percent stall fee.

His fruit tea stall was just a queue, clearly not part of this rule.

As for the fines, if you repeatedly refuse to pay the stall fee, only then you would need to pay all your income as a fine.

Obviously, his actions were not in these categories either.

At that time, he did not understand these rules. He also feared that the other party might take the opportunity to start a fight, so he did not argue with the Law Enforcement Hall’s disciple. But when he checked the rules again after returning, it was clear that the other party’s actions were all unreasonable.

After a series of analysis, Chu Liang came to a conclusion.

He had been bullied.

Moreover, he had reasons to suspect that the other party was targeting him.

So he went to his Master’s small loft.

He waited for about an hour before a fire ignited, and Empress Feng came back with a gloomy expression.

She was already angry today. Every time there was a meeting at every peak, she had to argue with people, so her mood was definitely at its worst now.

At this moment, seeing Chu Liang, she was a little surprised. When she was in a bad mood, this disciple usually kept his distance. Why did he approach her today?

“What’s the matter?” She asked.

“Master.” Chu Liang calmly said, “I was bullied.”

“Hmm?” Empress Feng frowned and looked somewhat incredulous.

Chu Liang briefly described being extorted in Red Cotton Market, and analyzed the laws of Shu Mountain. In the end, he concluded: “This behavior is undoubtedly extortion.”

Empress Feng waved her hand, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about with the laws of Shu Mountain. I just want to ask you… Are you right?”

Chu Liang firmly replied: “Absolutely right.”

“Heh…” Empress Feng had a subtle look in her eyes and shook her head. After a while, she couldn’t help but laugh, “Ha ha ha…”

“Was it Yunyao Peak?” After laughing for a while, she turned around and strode out, muttering to herself, “It’s rare to fight such a justified fight…”

Chu Liang followed behind, hurrying his steps to keep up.

…

Empress Feng didn’t spread her wings of fire as usual and blaze forward. Instead, she leisurely flew over to the other side of Yunyao Peak.

The master and disciple hovered in mid-air over Yunyao Peak.

Yunyao Peak was home to dozens of disciples. There were many little huts surrounded the peaks where the master lived. Red dawn, green mountains, buildings near the water, elegant architecture, it looked like a carefully managed small town.

Looking down at the scene below, Empress Feng took a deep breath and suddenly shouted, “Shang Shuwen, I’ll count to three, get your ass out here!”

Boom——

With her roar, leaves on the mountains of Yunyao Peak turned from green to yellow, the river stopped flowing for a moment, and a heat wave descended from the sky. Everyone on the peak felt as if they were in a fire for a moment.

After yelling, Empress Feng landed in the open area in front of the Peak Master’s loft.

Thump!

With this landing, there was another wave of intense heat.

Countless birds fled from the peak.

“Empress Feng?” A voice of surprise, a white figure flew out from the loft, “What are you here for?”

This was a middle-aged man with a gentlemanly demeanor, wearing a long robe, clear eyes, and no facial hair. If it weren’t for the maturity in his eyes, he wouldn’t look at all old.

This person was indeed the Yunyao Peak Master, the famous Confucian cultivator Shang Shuwen on Shu Mountain.

“Your disciple from Yunyao Peak bullied my disciple from Silver Sword Peak. I came to seek justice for him.” Empress Feng looked at Shang Shuwen, her eyes fiery and intimidating.

“I see…” Shang Shuwen was rather calm, immediately replied, “What is the specific dispute between the disciples? Which disciple did it? Please tell me the details first. If my disciples from Yunyao Peak are wrong, I will definitely administer justice.”

Empress Feng glanced at Chu Liang who was standing behind her.

She probably didn’t remember the details Chu Liang had just told her.

Chu Liang stepped forward and calmly greeted Shang Shuwen, “Uncle Master Shang, a Senior Brother surnamed Zhang from Yunyao Peak, who works at the Law Enforcement Hall, tried to extort me without reason at Red Cotton Peak.”

“Surname Zhang? From the Law Enforcement Hall?” Shang Shuwen pondered briefly, then said, “That should be Zhang Xingyuan.”

After saying this, he gently extended a finger, drew the characters for ‘Zhang Xingyuan’ in the air, then slowly pushed them away.

Instantly, a gust of wind whipped up dust on the spot, rustling up fallen leaves. Within moments, a tall figure appeared amidst the whirlwind.

As the dust settled, the Law Enforcement Hall disciple appeared in Red Cotton Market.

Seeing this, Chu Liang was slightly surprised.

This divine skill of summoning a person simply by mentioning their name was presumably a Confucian Cultivation technique, which was rather rare in Shu Mountain.

While he was merely surprised, Senior Brother Zhang was terrified.

In truth, Zhang had just finished his patrol and returned to Yunyao Peak, resting in his cabin. He got a start at the roar of Empress Feng, but knowing it wasn’t something he should meddle with, he didn’t think much of it and was about to go out to see the commotion.

However, before he knew it, he had been summoned by his master.

Upon seeing Chu Liang, he realized—so he was Empress Feng’s disciple?

Was this a retribution?

A foreboding feeling faintly loomed in his mind. He feared he might be in trouble.

“Zhang Xingyuan, answer my questions truthfully.” Shang Shuwen ordered solemnly.

In fact, he was quite helpless. This kind of minor friction amongst disciples was hardly a big deal. If it were any other Peak Master involved, they would probably not pay it much mind. But this was Empress Feng. Even though he knew she was making a mountain out of a molehill, he dared not disregard the issue.

He himself joined Shu Mountain later on and only heard but didn’t experience Empress Feng’s notorious reputation from her earlier days. Still, having witnessed Empress Feng’s confrontations with Wang Xuanling, the head of the peaks, on multiple occasions where she showed no mercy, he knew she was a force to be reckoned with.

“Yes.” Zhang Xingyuan trembled in fear.

“Today, did you meet this Junior Brother at Red Cotton Peak, and did you extort him?” Shang Shuwen asked, pointing at Chu Liang.

“Absolutely not! Master!” Zhang Xingyuan defended himself vociferously: “I serve at the Law Enforcement Hall and everything I do is based on Shu Mountain’s rules! I wouldn’t dare… dare to do so.”

Upon hearing that, Shang Shuwen looked at Empress Feng and suggested softly, “There may be some misunderstanding. Shall we sit down and talk it over in detail?”

“Heh…” Empress Feng tilted her head slightly, amusedly looking at him, “Didn’t you hear what I just said? I told you, my disciple was bullied by your disciple. I’m here to seek justice for him. Did you think I was here to verify the matter with you?”

“It’s normal for juniors to have conflicts. Zhang Xingyuan’s duties at the Law Enforcement Hall indeed make it easy for him to dispute with other disciples. Let’s sit down, sort it out, and distinguish right from wrong. We don’t need to harm our…” Shang Shuwen started saying slowly, pointing at the pavilion behind him.

However, before he could finish.

Empress Feng showed an impatient expression, and then, she snapped her fingers.

Snap.

A spark suddenly appeared in the pavilion, which instantly turned into a raging inferno.

Boom—

With a snap of her fingers, the pavilion exploded.

A mushroom cloud rose into the sky above Yunyao Peak.

No one could enter anymore.

“What are you doing?!” Shang Shuwen’s pupils contracted, clearly furious and shocked. He never expected Empress Feng to act so abruptly.

“For the third time, I’m here to seek justice for my disciple.” Empress Feng tilted her head, her deep gaze fixed on him, “I don’t want to waste any more words.”

“But if you don’t clarify the matter, how can you determine what’s fair?” Shang Shuwen, being a scholar, found it difficult to maintain his composure in such circumstance, but couldn’t lash out at Empress Feng. He was also aware that he couldn’t win in a confrontation with her, so he could only rebuke, “You’re being unreasonable!”

“Tsk.” All Empress Feng did in response was to give a cold sneer.

Her disdainful look seemed to say, ‘Is it the first day you’ve known that I’m unreasonable?’

She stroked her fingers together, seemingly ready for another explosion at any moment. Constructing a peak might take a long time, but destroying it only requires an instant.

“Enough, I won’t argue with you,” Shang Shuwen, holding back his fury, waved his sleeve and turned to Chu Liang, “How many Sword Coins did he extort from you? I’ll have him pay you back.”

The reason he turned to Chu Liang was because Empress Feng seemed utterly unreasonable, so he decided not to converse with her. On the contrary, Chu Liang seemed polite and articulate, like an honest person, who he assumed wouldn’t be as troublesome as his master.

Thus, under Shang Shuwen’s gaze, the honest child Chu Liang glanced at Zhang Xingyuan then at his master, Empress Feng. Then with a timid expression, he finally spoke softly, “Fifty…thousand.”
