Urban Supernatural Medical Saint-Chapter 1110 - 1109: Do You Have Anything More to Say
"The Judgement Hall is not a place for a mere criminal like you to act recklessly! How dare you show contempt for the Elders! Just this act alone is enough to sentence you to death!" the Elder roared fiercely.
Fang Yu spread his hands, sighed helplessly:
"Indeed, it’s a place for reason."
"You—"
Fang Yu’s behavior was about to make those Elders choke with rage.
If it were outside the Flower Domain, these Elders would have already taken direct action and killed Fang Yu, rather than wasting so much breath with him.
All of this was because Princess Mo Huajian of the Flower Domain was involved.
Just then.
Great Elder Mo Zheng slowly raised his hand.
The hall fell silent again.
Great Elder Mo Zheng spoke: "The Flower Domain is indeed a place for reason. Now that you are here, I doubt you can cause much trouble. You refuse to confess, fine... then I’ll ask, you answer."
"Alright." Fang Yu replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, with pride.
"The first question, did you kill Mo Changming?"
"Yes!"
When answering this question, Fang Yu hesitated almost none. Even though Xiaoyu had advised him to put all the blame on Mo Huajian, Fang Yu always chose to take responsibility. A man of honor stands firm, hiding behind a woman is a sign of incompetence. His father, Fang Jintian, had educated him this way, making Fang Yu a person of strong loyalties and commitments. This is why he could become the master of Tiandu Mountain, with so many brothers and sisters.
Without this, why would those people follow him wholeheartedly?
This is Fang Yu’s standard and principle of being a person.
If even this has to be changed, what does it mean to be a person?
Hearing this answer.
Mo Huajian couldn’t help but tremble all over, raising her eyes to look incredulously at her teacher—the man who stood neither humbly nor arrogantly, calm and unafraid.
But...
All these virtues, if they require the potential sacrifice of life, are they truly worth it?
"Very well. Second question, are you Mo Huajian’s teacher?"
"Yes!"
The entire hall was in turmoil.
The Elders began whispering among themselves, constantly criticizing Fang Yu, who stood in the center of the hall.
Like flies buzzing around noisily.
"Since you admitted it, why not confess these crimes? A life for a life, it’s justice. Even outside the Flower Domain, on the Nine Provinces of Huaxia Continent, murder is a serious crime, isn’t it? As for the role of a teacher, you must know that the person sitting before you is our Princess of the Flower Domain, noble and respected. To be her teacher, one must be an exceptional Great Cultivator. Even I do not have that qualification, so where do you get yours?"
The Elders nodded, strongly agreeing with the Great Elder.
Fang Yu stood with his hands behind his back, loudly saying:
"In Huaxia, whether killing is justifiable depends on whether it’s self-defense... If someone wants to kill me, shouldn’t I defend myself? What kind of absurdity is this? Mo Changming, as a Shattering Void Realm cultivator, bullying the weak, trying to flatten my Tiandu Mountain. As the master of Tiandu Mountain, should I just stand by and do nothing? Strictly speaking... I didn’t actively kill him at all. Throughout the battle, he was the one making attacks, even forcibly using the power of his Domain. It’s fortunate Tiandu Mountain’s defenses were sufficient, and I barely survived. Mo Changming exhausted himself to death, and I’m to blame for that? Is this the reasoning of the Flower Domain?"
The audience was stunned.
They looked at each other in confusion.
Just as they were prepared to accuse Fang Yu of lying.
Mo Huajian suddenly spoke up: "I can testify... this matter indeed has nothing to do with the teacher... Mo Changming exhausted himself by forcibly using the power of his Domain and died of fatigue! The Great Elder, being a Great Cultivator, should be able to tell."
The crowd was stunned.
Even the Princess sided with Fang Yu, how could they dare to publicly contradict and accuse him?
They didn’t dare.
That would be like publicly slapping Mo Huajian in the face. Such foolishness, the Elders wouldn’t dare to commit lightly.
"Fine! Let’s say this matter is Mo Changming’s fault... then what about the matter of the teacher’s identity?" an Elder spoke up and asked. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Fang Yu displayed a slight smile, continuing:
"Great Elder, may I ask, what defines a teacher?"
"Naturally, it refers to a person of virtue, of great ability, acclaimed and respected. The teacher of Mo Huajian must undoubtedly be a top-level Great Cultivator! Fifty thousand years ago, I took Mo Huajian to the Kunlun Mountains to visit a Heaven Stepping Realm Cultivator, willing to take Mo Huajian as a student. By butting in, aren’t you ruining Mo Huajian’s future?"
Great Elder Mo Zheng, this time didn’t use the term Princess, evidently posturing as an elder, only thus suppressing Mo Huajian. It also silently suggested to Mo Huajian not to speak out of turn.
Fang Yu said:
"A person of virtue... acclaimed and respected, that’s one thing. The Flower Domain has at most hundreds of thousands of people... do you know how many people are in the Nine Provinces of Huaxia Continent? In the Nine Provinces of Huaxia Continent, cultivators, superpower users, and evolvers combined number in the hundreds of millions. Without bragging, in Huaxia Continent, the name Fang Yu stands for respected admiration, even a hero’s icon! At Tiandu Mountain, more than ten thousand brothers and sisters follow me, all loyal, dedicated... if there were no virtue, how could I possibly hold this position?"
Silence prevailed throughout the hall.
Fang Yu continued:
"As for a person of great ability... you mentioned a Heaven Stepping Realm Cultivator earlier. That’s merely a higher Cultivation... in my view, a teacher imparts the path, teaches the profession, resolves doubts! Imparting the path naturally refers to the Cultivation Path and the ways of being human. Teaching means imparting knowledge... resolving doubts, addressing confusion! Mo Huajian, fifty thousand years ago, ascended to the Taoist Saint Realm. After becoming my student... she advanced two levels in less than a month, now already in the Shattering Void Realm! Great Elder... do you still have something to say?"
Dead silence.
A silence as death filled the hall.
They all knew that what Fang Yu said must be true.
Just a bit of investigation would confirm the truth.
He said he was admired and respected. He said he was virtuous, that he aided Mo Huajian.
Clearly, it was all facts.
But listening to it, there’s something slightly awkward.
Soon everyone realized the issue... others’ praise is like a flower, self-praise feels insubstantial!
The Elder Council was rendered speechless.
Great Elder Mo Zheng was even more powerless to counter-argue.
Fang Yu remained calm and collected, neither humble nor arrogant, steady and composed.
Weren’t you talking about reasoning? Then let’s talk, and see if you have anything left to say now?
...
Then, when the Elder Council was nearly choked with rage, Fang Yu began delivering the killer blow—
"So! Without distinguishing right from wrong, you sent Mo Changming to kill an admired and respected teacher, one who even helped Mo Huajian advance two levels consecutively! Isn’t this being ungrateful, repaying kindness with enmity, and a betrayal of righteous principles?"
Ungrateful.
Repaying kindness with enmity.
Betrayal of righteous principles.
These twelve words, each word a jewel, struck like a clap of thunder.
How could the Flower Domain possibly bear such accusations!
Impossible!
