Elders' Court, Deliberation Hall.
BANG!
The Great Elder, dressed in a white robe, slammed his hand down on the office desk before him. "As Elder Wu Xing of the prestigious Elders' Court, for him to personally step in... what sort of precedent does this set!" he said coldly.
"Elder Wu Xing's temperament has always been a bit too impulsive." Jin Zheng, shedding his usual dour demeanor, held a teacup in one hand and tossed a pile of documents before the Great Elder with the other. "But the Liu Family is hardly clean. Their crimes are truly monstrous. Any one of the charges, singled out, would be an unforgivable capital offense."
"For Wu Xing to enter the fray today could be considered delivering heavenly justice." Jin Zheng sipped his tea contentedly, looking at the Great Elder with a half-smile.
"Hmph!" The Great Elder sneered. "Do any of you still have any respect for me as the Great Elder?"
