Chapter 414 He's just a country bumpkin from Jinling.
Supreme Alliance Guard Headquarters.
News of the killing of Shi Jing and several other guards from the Eighth Border Guards quickly spread back.
Elder Lei was the first to get angry, slamming his fist on the table.
"What audacity! Does this Qin Emperor think that our Supreme Alliance Guards can't judge him?"
Not only Elder Lei, but the other three elders also had somewhat gloomy expressions.
At this moment, the Supreme Alliance guards, the deliberation committee, and members of the Qi and Chu families were all present. The Qi and Chu families were currently staying with the Alliance guards, waiting for the trial three days later.
"Heh, he actually dares to resist. Qin Tiandi is so damn arrogant."
"This shows a disregard for our Supreme Alliance guards."
"This is outrageous! He even dares to kill our guards! What is Qin Tiandi trying to do?"
"If they dare to kill guards today, will they dare to kill us tomorrow?"
"..."
The members of the review panel were furious.
As members of the Supreme Alliance Guard, whether they were on the Deliberation Committee or simply guards, they felt immense pride, for this place represented the highest judicial body.
Whether they are terrestrial immortals or powerful gods, they can all be judged if they so choose.
In their eyes, martial arts are nothing special.
This is like capital; how can it possibly contend with power?
No matter how strong Qin Chuan is, he has no choice but to obediently accept judgment in front of the Supreme Alliance guards.
But now they dare to kill Alliance guards, what are they trying to do? They clearly don't want to face trial.
"Is Qin Tiandi not going to come for trial in three days?" Elder Feng frowned.
"Does he dare?" Elder Yu sneered. "Even if he escapes, what about his family and friends? Regardless of whether he's at the Earth Immortal level or not, even if he is, we'll still judge him!"
"Elders, this Qin Tian Emperor is far too arrogant; he must be taught a lesson!"
Qi Shixun said in a deep voice, "Freeze all his assets and restrict his movement!"
Elder Lei nodded: "Send a few more guards over there and see what he's up to!"
"I second that!"
The other three elders agreed.
Restricting travel and freezing assets are methods used by the secular order, but they can also be applied to martial arts masters.
Although the Supreme Alliance Guard is a force that restricts martial arts, it is still an official organization and therefore has these powers.
Qi Shixun sneered repeatedly.
"Emperor Qin, I'd like to see just how capable you are of standing against the Supreme Alliance!"
……
Starbucks.
Shen Wangshu and Zeng Siyu soon met the so-called son of the review panel.
"Over here..."
Zeng Siyu waved.
The newcomer was a young man, not particularly handsome, wearing glasses but looking quite refined. He was accompanied by another man, who was rather handsome.
Zeng Siyu began the introductions: "Wang Shu, let me introduce you. This is Huang Xinrong, the son of a member of the Supreme Alliance Guard Review Committee. And this is…"
"This is my good friend, Fu Yanming. His father and my father were colleagues and also members of the review panel," Huang Xinrong said, adjusting his glasses.
Fu Yanming's face showed a hint of arrogance. When he came in, he had sized up Shen Wangshu and Zeng Siyu. Both women were quite pretty.
"Shall we get a proper introduction to this beautiful lady?" Fu Yan knew that his friend was pursuing Zeng Siyu, so he naturally set his sights on Shen Wangshu.
"My good friend Shen Wangshu is from Jinling," Zeng Siyu introduced briefly.
Jinling...
As sons of high-ranking officials in Kyoto, and with their fathers being members of the Supreme Alliance Guard Review Committee, both Fu Yanming and Huang Xinrong possessed an inherent sense of superiority.
Not to mention that they are all locals from Kyoto, their backgrounds alone mean that they would be followed by a lot of people wherever they go.
Conversely, they naturally tend to have a disdainful attitude towards people from other places.
"So it's Miss Shen." Fu Yanming smiled and extended his hand, wanting to shake hands with Shen Wangshu.
Although Shen Wangshu's demeanor seemed extraordinary, Fu Yanming naturally held her in lower regard, since she wasn't a native of Kyoto.
In his eyes, Nanjing was nothing more than a tiny, insignificant place.
Such a woman is naturally not good enough for me, but it's not a problem to play around with her.
Moreover, his own identity speaks for itself. What a joke! He's the son of a member of the Supreme Alliance Council, which is already incredibly impressive.
Although Shen Wangshu didn't really want to shake hands with Fu Yanming, she didn't want to offend him, so she shook hands with him anyway, but quickly withdrew her hand.
Nowadays, Shen Wangshu would never look at these sons of officials and nobles. After experiencing an outstanding man like Qin Chuan, there are very few men in the world who can catch her eye.
"By the way, Wangshu, when are your friends coming?" Zeng Siyu asked.
"Oh, Miss Shen has also invited friends?" Fu Yanming asked with great interest.
Zeng Siyu said with some longing, "Yes, yes, let's work together to figure something out. After all, everyone wants to join the Supreme Alliance Guard in three days and personally witness the trial of Emperor Qin!"
Huang Xinrong naturally wanted to impress the woman he liked, so he waved his hand and said casually, "Siyu, Yanming and I are both sons of members of the review panel. With us here, how could we not get you in?"
"If even we can't get you in, then no one in the entire capital city can."
He spoke very arrogantly.
There's no way around it; their status gives them the right to be arrogant.
Zeng Siyu naturally agreed with this statement, so she didn't care much about the people Shen Wangshu had brought.
Fu Yanming had thought that Huang Xinrong's words would be enough to impress Shen Wangshu, but he found that the woman from Jinling didn't show any change in expression at all.
This surprised him a bit. Could it be because he came from Jinling and had never seen much of the world, and had no idea what the Supreme Alliance Guard meant?
That's very possible!
"Let me tell you, the reason why Qin Tiandi is being tried this time is entirely because the jury voted to approve it. In other words, even Qin Tiandi, who is hailed as a legend of our time, is still controlled by our father with just a word," Huang Xinrong said proudly.
Zeng Siyu showed an expression of admiration. The fact that the review panel could judge someone like Qin Tiandi showed just how powerful it was.
Shen Wangshu's expression remained unchanged; instead, she frowned slightly. However, she quickly smiled and got up to walk outside.
Everyone's attention followed them inside, and soon they saw a man and two women.
It was Qin Chuan, Qin Lan, and Xu Weiwei.
"Is Miss Shen's friend also from Jinling?" Fu Yanming asked, frowning.
"Hmm, it seems so." Zeng Siyu wasn't quite sure either, but she felt it was most likely true.
Fu Yanming laughed dismissively, completely disregarding him.
"He's just a country bumpkin from Nanjing."
