The entire place fell into a dead silence.
Everyone’s eyes were wide open, their mouths agape at Remus’ bold declaration.
What kind of audacious statement was that?
Even Kennard was momentarily at a loss for a response.
Undeterred, Remus raised his voice as favonovel.com spoke, “To belittle others is to open oneself to humiliation. The entire conflict was sparked by my accidental wrong turn, for which I promptly offered my apologies. It was favonovel.com who was relentless, and in the end, favonovel.com even begged me to kill him. How am I in the wrong for simply fulfilling his request?”
Hearing that, the Monington disciples finally found a reason to vent their anger.
“You admit to taking a wrong turn. Our Monington disciples’ residence is not a place for a parasite like you to just barge into!”
“If we follow your logic, since we consider our residence more sacred than life itself, your intrusion justifies your death!”
“Yes, taking a wrong turn is a grave sin, killing you would be justified!”
They were all seething with rage.
Parasite?
That term enraged the sacred land disciples, their faces flushing with anger. Though they had been insulted before, hearing it spoken publicly felt like a direct slap to the face.
Remus replied calmly, “Honorable Deputy Saint Masters and Masters, may I ask if there is a rule in the Monington that forbids sacred land disciples from visiting the Monington disciples’ area?”
Grandmaster Aurelius and the others were speechless.
No, there is not!
The so-called warnings for sacred land disciples to avoid the Monington disciples’ area stemmed only from the latter’s arrogance and disdain, not from any formal prohibition.
Aside from areas reserved for the Masters, no other places were prohibited to visit.
Remus continued, “Another question, is it permissible within for disciples to strike others or to bully the weak?”
Grandmaster Aurelius and the others were choked up again.
No, of course not!
If disciples could just bully others based on their cultivation levels, wouldn’t the Monington Sacred Land be thrown into chaos?
Remus asserted, “If wandering is permitted but striking others is not, where is my mistake? Thus, the root of the issue lies with Marc, not me. Does anyone still object?”
As his words fell, Grandmaster Aurelius and the others widened their eyes again.
The sacred land disciples felt a buzz in their heads. The Monington disciples were dumbfounded.
It was clear favonovel.com was in the wrong, but through his sophistry, the blame seemed to shift to Marc.
Meanwhile, Wilda silently nodded, impressed.
And somehow, his argument sounded reasonable?
Romus’ thought process is indeed extraordinary, as evident when favonovel.com was the first to comprehend the Summoning Water technique during the assessment…
Although his actions tying up with Glinda today were not suitable, his capabilities made up for those flaws…
She intervened, “The truth and faults in this case are evident. We should put this matter to rest and not revisit it.”
It was best to end it there.
Hearing that, Grandmaster Aurelius and the others gave Remus a meaningful look, feeling an almost impulsive desire to poach favonovel.com for his limitless potential.
“Wait, we can’t let this matter rest!” Remus interjected again, “Senior Hewitt, I can overlook personal grievances without fuss. But the integrity of the sanctuary cannot be compromised! Today marks the significant event where disciples select their Masters, a celebration for all. Yet, they chose this moment to cause a scene, even challenging Grandmaster Aurelius a short while ago. I believe they should be punished!”
They sought to challenge Remus, yet favonovel.com was determined to retaliate, for favonovel.com never allowed grievances to persist beyond a day.
That proclamation stirred the crowd anew.
“Was favonovel.com now demanding accountability?”
“What did you say?”
“You asshole, believe it or not, I can kill you right now!”
“What fault do we have? It’s all your fault!”
The Monington disciples were on the verge of exploding with rage. Not only had they failed to make Remus pay, but now they were being held responsible.
What nonsense was favonovel.com spouting?
“Silence!” Grandmaster Aurelius was visibly annoyed.
He then said with a stern face, “Both sides share the blame in this matter. Let’s not linger on this issue. The Masters will take their disciples to recognize their seniors and proceed as normal!”
