"Who is this person? Such boldness."

"Never seen him."

"Looks like he's not from Jialan."

"Does he really think the Punishment Bureau is his home?"

"Why do I feel like the man behind that kid looks familiar to you guys?"

"Me too."

"Seems like I've seen him somewhere, but I can't remember right now."

Inside the Inquiry Hall of the Jialan Imperial Capital Punishment Bureau.

A group of elderly people, dressed in blue robes embroidered with the Punishment Bureau's emblem, were discussing Lin Yi and his companions who had appeared in the hall.

There were both men and women among them, all seemingly over fifty.

But from their behavior and demeanor, it was not hard to see that their status was not simple either.

Among them, one elder suddenly shouted at what Lin Yi had done:

"Someone, come."

"Boom~"

The hall doors were instantly opened.

Two guards dressed in armor came in:

"Present!"

Qiu Daoyuan pointed at Lin Yi sitting in the chair, with a disdainful cold smile:

"Capture him for me."

The two guards exchanged a glance, but they did not dare to defy Qiu Daoyuan's orders and turned to head towards Lin Yi.

At that moment, Jarvis suddenly took down the great sword from his back, blocked in front of Lin Yi, and shouted:

"Let's see who dares to touch him."

At the same time, his Martial Sect aura erupted instantly, making the two guards immediately draw their weapons and confront him:

"Bold!"

"Put down your weapon immediately."

Qiu Daoyuan was even more enraged:

"How dare you use force in the Inquiry Hall, I see you're looking for death."

Jarvis remained unmoved and said:

"Anyone stepping forward, I'll kill!"

But Lin Yi behind him did not speak to stop him, just quietly watched.

Just as the two guards were about to act, Qiu Daoyuan suddenly said:

"Wait a moment."

Under everyone's astonished gaze, Qiu Daoyuan hesitantly looked at Jarvis in armor

as if he remembered who Jarvis was, and a chilling smile appeared on his face:

"So it's you."

Then he looked at Jarvis with a fierce expression:

"What audacity."

"Dare to show off with mere Martial Sect in my Punishment Bureau."

A mighty aura surged from Qiu Daoyuan, and Lin Yi couldn't help but raise his brow: Tier Seven!

Two levels higher than Jarvis.

If Lin Yi were fine, mere Tier Seven wouldn't be worth noticing.

But now, in his current state, he was clearly no match.

Seeing the opponent's realistic expression, Lin Yi sighed inwardly.

Although Lin Yi had guessed from the start that on this trip, he might encounter some nobody coming to offer him experience.

But he didn't expect someone to be so eager to be dealt with so quickly.

Even though the opponent didn't seem young anymore.

Since childhood, we've been taught to respect the elderly and care for the young.

But facing such an unreasonable person, Lin Yi found it hard to show respect.

Just as Lin Yi was about to let Katrina start demonstrating power, a sudden shout shocked everyone:

"Stop it!"

Uh~

Lin Yi moved his eyes from the system panel skill "Summon Sword Spirit," only to see Qiao Zhenhai in a bright red robe walking slowly from one side of the hall.

Seeing this, Qiu Daoyuan could only disperse the aura gathered on him, and then salute the approaching person along with others:

"Greetings, Vice Chief Judge Qiao."

Qiao Zhenhai looked with surprise at Lin Yi sitting on the chair, directly ignoring Qiu Daoyuan and the others.

Under the shocked gazes, he respectfully walked to Lin Yi and saluted:

"Greetings, Jialan King!"

With these words, the scene fell into amazement.

Qiu Daoyuan looked incredulously at the Lin Yi slumped in the chair and suddenly had a flash of insight looking at Jarvis.

Then he slapped his forehead, cursing inwardly:

"Damn it."

"How could I forget this."

At this time, Qiao Zhenhai looked at the two guards confronting Jarvis, and shouted angrily:

"Retreat immediately."

The two guards, upon seeing Qiao Zhenhai bow to Lin Yi, were already scared out of their wits.

Now after hearing this, they felt as pardoned by heaven:

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Watching the two leave in a hurry, Qiao Zhenhai then turned to Lin Yi and knowingly asked:

"Your Majesty Jialan, why are you here today?"

Seeing that the other party actually knew him, it also saved him from causing a big fuss here.

Seeing the favorable attitude, Lin Yi pointed directly at Jarvis in front and said:

"My friend's family not only died tragically at the hands of Viscount Anand without cause."

"They were also framed and imprisoned by him, nearly losing their lives."

"Today I am here to demand an explanation for him."

Qiao Zhenghai was surprised by Lin Yi's term for Jarvis:

"Friend?"

Knowing that Lin Yi was the highly esteemed Jialan King, while Jarvis was just a commoner.

The disparity between them was not even on the same level.

Lin Yi actually considered him a friend.

From this simple term, Qiao Zhenghai already realized that Lin Yi's purpose was not merely to feign.

Seeing Qiao Zhenghai's surprised gaze, Lin Yi asked:

"Is there a problem?"

Qiao Zhenghai glanced at the somewhat inexplicably excited Jarvis, and the calm Katrina, then shook his head indicating:

"No, of course not."

Then Qiao Zhenghai called someone, spoke a few words in their ear, and the person hurriedly left in response.

Afterwards, Qiao Zhenghai shouted:

"Someone come."

"Go request Viscount Anand to come over."

"And add a chair, tribunal members take seats."

Only then did Lin Yi become aware that these ten chairs were meant for the tribunal members.

Lin Yi had to shift his seat to the center of the hall.

This time, nobody jumped out to say Lin Yi was unfit to sit there.

The ten elderly people were those tribunal members, sitting on both sides. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Jarvis stood as always behind Lin Yi.

And Katrina, who hadn't spoken at all but inexplicably gave everyone a huge sense of pressure.

When Lin Yi's identity was revealed, Katrina's identity also seemed no longer mysterious to these people.

One could faintly see some fear in the eyes of a few people.

During Lin Yi's movement, Qiao Zhenghai was somewhat surprised at Lin Yi's weak physical condition.

But he said nothing about it, and instead explained to Lin Yi:

"Please wait, Jialan King, I've sent someone to invite Chief Judge Gongsun Yan."

"The case will be personally presided over by the Chief Judge."

"We will certainly give you a reasonable explanation."

Lin Yi nodded to show understanding.

Qiao Zhenhai had just seated himself in the gallery when suddenly a very arrogant voice came from outside the hall:

"Who dares so boldly to accuse this viscount."
