The surrounding civil officials immediately shut up and did not dare to say anything else.

Cao Fu, the junior official of Dali Temple, took a deep breath and was extremely shocked.

Unexpectedly, An Le, who looked like he had nothing to rely on, actually had so many experts backing him up and taking sides!

Martial Temple’s Martial Chief, Di Cang, landed. His majestic aura surged, attracting many sidelong glances.

Di Cang was wearing a bronze mask and carrying a red saber. This saber was called the Zhao Ancestor’s Dragon Slaying Saber. It was a first-grade saber. It was rumored to be the treasure saber held by the Great Zhao Dynasty’s founding Emperor. It had once killed a True Dragon of the East Sea and bathed

in hot dragon blood to advance to the first-grade.

“Why? Qin Qianqiu has killed people time and time again, so he doesn’t have to pay any price for killing. You guys haven’t come out to capture him either. Young Friend An has to pay with his life for killing him once, right?”

“The rules of this world have to follow you nobles, right?”

Di Cang’s deep voice spoke. Terrifying Qi Blood surged like waves in the vast sea and slapped the shore rocks ruthlessly, causing an explosion.

When a martial artist was angry, blood splattered everywhere. Compared to scholars like Li You’an and top Body Tempering martial artists like Di Cang, when they were angry, they were extremely intimidating to the dignitaries.

Most of the influential people entered the Literary Department, and very few entered the Martial Temple. Other than the descendants of martial aristocratic families, the descendants of dukes, and so on, because of their families, they would enter the Martial Temple to practice martial arts and observe the Martial Chief Stone.

However, there was a price to pay to enter the Martial Temple. One had to enter the front line to kill enemies.

Therefore, it also stopped many descendants of the influential. Most of the descendants of the influential officials were more willing to enter the Literary Department. Through reading and writing, they could fight for a good reputation and support each other in the court.

Di Cang’s appearance seemed to have tipped the scales.

This was the first time many people in Lin’an Prefecture realized that behind An Le, there were actually so many powerful and noble existences standing. The power formed was not inferior to Prime Minister Qin’s Residence at all.

An Le’s white clothes were whiter than snow, and he had Green Mountain and Ink Pool Sword on his waist. He looked at the increasing number of people behind him and could not help but reveal a gentle smile.

The Temple Minister, Su Qingke, felt immense pressure.

Old Imperial Uncle, Legendary Top Scholar, Great General, Yuan Meng’s Prince Consort, wife of the former Marquis, Martial Chief…

These were all existences with statuses above him.

One after another, they pressed down like mountains, making Su Qingke feel very difficult.

“Little Su, we don’t want to make things difficult for you. You know very well that Qin Qianqiu was the one who sent people to kill An Le first. He tried to kill me time and time again, but An Le killed him instead. In my opinion, he’s innocent. If you want to forcefully add another crime, at most, he’s just gone overboard in defending himself.”

“If you insist on using the laws of Great Zhao to suppress us, the few of us… can also handle it.” Zhao Huangting said calmly with a hunched back.

Su Qingke was silent. At this moment, he was really in a difficult position.

As if thinking of something, Su Qingke’s gaze turned to An Le.

The white-robed young man had a gentle smile on his face. He met his gaze and cupped his fists. He slowly said, “Lord Su, can I say a word or two?”

Su Qingke, who was suppressed by many big shots until he found it difficult to breathe, exhaled. “Tell me.”

An Le scanned his surroundings and bowed to Zhao Huangting, Li You’an, Madam Hua, and the other experts who stood behind him and supported him.

He said, “An Le thanks everyone for your support and help. Qin Qianqiu has killed me many times and schemed and harmed me time and time again. Hence, I can’t calm down. Although I’m a scholar, I have the anger of an ordinary person. When I encounter injustice, I can’t calm down. Naturally, I’ll use the three-foot sword in my hand to seek enlightenment.”

“Therefore, I have no regrets in killing Qin Qianqiu.”

“I’m still a candidate for the Spring Quarter Examination. The results haven’t been announced yet, so it’s unknown if I’m on the rankings. If I’m on the rankings, I can enter the Hall Examination. According to Great Zhao’s laws, Lord Su… has no right to capture me during this period.”

“There’s a reason why I killed Qin Qianqiu, and it was Qin Qianqiu who attacked first. Therefore, if I can become one of the top three in the Hall Examination, I’ll naturally be pardoned and be proven innocent.”

“If I can’t enter the top three, it won’t be too late for Lord Su to capture me then.”

An Le’s voice lingered in the surroundings. It was neither servile nor overbearing and was reasonable.

Su Qingke was stunned and didn’t know what to say.

An Le turned around and faced Zhao Huangting, Li You’an, and the other experts behind him. After bowing, he said, “Thank you for your help, but you’re all nobles. I’d be ashamed to dirty your nobility and let others have a hold on you.”

“I, An Le, killed Qin Qianqiu so that my thoughts would be clear and I could vent my anger. However, I didn’t act blindly. I also preserved a chance of survival and am willing to fight for it now.” An Le said softly.

His voice echoed around the long street and by the Lake Gazing Building.

Madam Hua’s eyes flickered with admiration.

Li You’an and Zhao Huangting smiled in satisfaction.

Although they were surprised by An Le’s decision, they did not find it strange.

Li You’an smiled and said, “That’s true. You’re still in the Spring Quarter Examination. Perhaps you can become the top scholar? Or perhaps… meet the Sacred Teacher?”

“Qin Qianqiu sent someone to kill you and you killed him instead. It’s not a big crime. It’s naturally easy for us to protect you with our power and authority. However, since you want to fight for justice in the Hall Examination, it’s naturally fine.”

“If you can obtain a chance to converse with the Sacred Teacher or even become the illusory Seventh Mountain Lord, you will be able to relax even if you commit ten thousand crimes..”
