"Are you saying that the Lu family plotted against your family?"
"And the Martial God Hall is covering up?"
"This... This..."
"Have you made a mistake?"
The War God was stunned.
He did not expect that this Ye Fan had hidden such a great grudge against the Martial God Hall, against the Yanxia Martial Dao, in his heart.
"Ye Fan, there must be some kind of misunderstanding here."
"You are a strong member of my Yan Xia's pillar nation, and you received orders to go to the Americas before to serve your country."
"Under such circumstances, our Martial God Temple will certainly take proper care of your loved ones, how could it possibly chill the heart of my Yanxia hero?"
"When you disappeared, we thought you had fallen, and in order to appease your family, we even sent a special working group to offer our condolences."
"You are now saying that our Martial God Hall acted as an accomplice to the tiger and helped others to plot against your loved ones, this is absolutely nonsense, where did you hear this from?"
Ye Qingtian frowned and asked anxiously.
At the end of his sentence, the War God seemed to have remembered something, so he continued, "Oh, I remember now."
"More than half a year ago, there was indeed a man called Lu Hua who had mischief in mind for your kin."
"But that person with the surname Lu was already caught by me on the spot."
"He was later sent to the Martial Court for trial and suffered severe punishment."
"That matter has been properly resolved, and the culprit has long since been executed by my Martial God Hall. And it did not cause substantial harm to your loved ones at the time."
"And why do you need to go on a killing spree over a matter that has already passed?"
"Don't you feel that you are making a big deal out of it?"
The God of War spoke in a deep voice, his words filled with displeasure.
Obviously, Ye Qingtian thought that Ye Fan had committed a heinous crime in the land of Jiangbei because of that incident six months ago.
However, that incident had already been dealt with by the War God.
He had already given Ye Fan's family an explanation.
Now that Ye Fan was unforgiving and rehashing old scores again, the War God was naturally a little upset.
He felt that this Ye Fan was too small-minded and too murderous, killing his entire family over a small matter and one that had already been settled.
This kind of nature was indeed hard to please, and even made people a little disgusted.
"Executed?"
"God of War, are you taking me, Ye Fan, for a fool when you say that?"
"If that Lu Hua was really executed, then who is the one who has been plaguing my Jiangdong and bullying my relatives for the past six months?"
"Who is the person who is hiding in the Great Hall at this moment, sheltered by your Martial God Hall?"
Ye Fan sneered and asked Ye Qingtian rhetorically.
When the War God heard this, he was stunned.
"What do you mean?"
"What, did that Lu Hua not get executed in the first place?"
"And continued to plague Jiangdong?"
Hearing this, Ye Qingtian instantly realised something.
In a whirl, he turned his head to glare at the Fist Emperor at the side.
"Fist Emperor, what the hell is going on here?"
"I remember that this matter was handed over to you for disposal in the first place."
"That Lu Hua, could it be that you let him out?"
The War God asked in a cold scolding voice, anger suppressed in his words.
One had to know that all along, any matter that was handed over to the Supreme Martial Tribunal was an extremely bad and influential case.
It was for this reason that, in the War God's memory, no one who had been sent to the Supreme Martial Court in Yanjing had ever come out alive.
When he first told Lu Hua to go to the Martial Court to commit suicide, it was in fact tantamount to declaring Lu Hua's death sentence.
However, now it seemed that the way things had developed afterwards was somewhat out of the War God's expectation.
"This..."
Faced with the War God's questioning, the Fist King's gaze dodged and his tone of speech was suddenly a little ambiguous.
It was obvious that he was somewhat vain.
"God of War, regarding that case back then, I carefully had someone investigate it."
"That Lu Hua only had a crush on Ye Fan's wife, that's all."
"A fair lady, a gentleman is good at martyrdom."
"This kind of thing is a common human feeling."
"Don't you also have a fondness for that Sect Master of the Chu Sect?"
"So, at that time, I agreed with a few fellow martial artists that although that young master of the Lu family was at fault, his crime did not lead to death, so we punished him and spared his life when we saw that he had the intention to repent."
Mo Kucheng explained one after another.
But he did not tell the God of War that when the elder Lu Songliang of the Lu family visited his home with heavy treasures, he mediated and made connections.
At that time, Ye Fan was already dead, and compared to the Lu family, Ye Fan's relatives were naturally insignificant.
So the martial artists who were in charge of Lu Hua's trial gave Lu Songliang a favour, and after punishing him a little, he was released.
Naturally, Mo Gucheng would not tell the God of War about these hidden secrets, and now he only said that Lu Hua's crime was not so serious as to lead to death, and that was why he had left him alive.
"What?!"
"You really let him go?"
"This is nonsense!"
"Even if he has ten thousand reasons to covet the widow of a martyr, that is still a capital crime."
"How could you release him?"
"It was your connivance that made him unrepentant. When he returned, he became even more aggressive in causing trouble in Jiangdong."
"How is it now?"
"Ye Fan has come to our door to take revenge, do you think you should hand over this man or not?"
"I don't think we can blame Ye Fan for today's situation, it's all because of you!"
Ye Qingtian was about to explode with anger.
He had never thought that Mo Gucheng and the others would really take it upon themselves to release Lu Hua.
Earlier, when Ye Fan said that the people of the Lu family had murdered his relatives and encroached on Jiangdong's foundation, Ye Qingtian was still somewhat unconvinced.
But now it seemed that there was no mistaking it.
After escaping from sanctions, Lu Hua must have felt vengeful and continued to wreak havoc on Jiangdong.
When his own parents were murdered, even the God of War himself could not remain calm.
Now, Ye Fan was so angry that he went to Yanshan to kill him, which was no doubt justifiable.
It was the Fist King and the others who were so stupid.
Thanks to him being so old, had he not lived on all dogs?
"War God, you... How can you say that about me?"
"Those people were all killed by that junior, what does it have to do with me?"
Ye Qingtian's words were too heavy, and the Fist Emperor's old face turned pale as he retorted with a stern colour.
However, perhaps because of his weak heart, the Fist Emperor didn't even speak very loudly.
The God of War no longer bothered to pay any attention to him.
Glaring at him fiercely, the look seemed to say, "I'll clean you up later.
"Ye Fan, this matter, my Martial God Hall is indeed at fault."
"During this time when you were in trouble, we failed to protect your loved ones, leaving you with worries, this is a dereliction of duty on the part of my Martial God Hall."
"Here, I, Ye Qingtian, apologise to you on behalf of the Martial God Hall!"
"Don't worry, I will personally deal with this matter."
"Within three days, justice will be done to you."
"As for you, go back to Jiangdong first to keep your family company."
After clarifying the circumstances, all of War God's discontent towards Ye Fan undoubtedly disappeared, instead his words were filled with guilt and indebtedness.
After all, it was Ye Fan who was in the right in this matter.
Back then, when he had gone to America to snatch the Yuanling Fruit, it was he who had invited Ye Fan to go.
Out of national righteousness, Ye Fan had travelled thousands of miles to the rainforest to fight for his country and ended up in a desperate situation, besieged by various countries and dying in nine lives.
Ye Fan was right, in this matter, he had no shame to Yanxia, it was Yanxia that owed him.
