Shi Qingxuan piped up too, "If it really was his highness who committed such a deed, why would he bring this female ghost jiejie up to the heavens to confront anyone? And why is it only now that this lady Lan Chang recognized him? Just thinking about it makes no sense."
Xie Lian shot Qing Xuan a grateful look which the latter returned with a grin.
Hua Cheng nodded at Qing Xuan, showing silent appreciation.
It was easy to see it didn't make sense. Yet, with such a show, no one cared if it made no sense. The crowd maintained a reserved attitude, and there was even an official who blindly guessed, "Maybe it was like this: perhaps His Highness lost his memory so he doesn't remember the things he's done?"
"...Stupid."
"Idiotic."
"Are we sure he deserves to be there?"
Such words were spouted in the room as many sighed in disappointment.
"Do you really have to stay there?" Hua Cheng asked, making sure to remember the official's name. "I'm sure my city is much more comfortable."
Xie Lian looked slightly lured.
"Honestly, I think it's more believable that he's bold enough to think maybe after eight hundred years no one would recognize him."
"...He should be the one who's banished." Ban Yue mumbled.
Xie Lian was speechless and cautioned the crowd, "To prove something impossible by fabricating something even more inconceivable is a dangerous path to go down, my lords."
"You shouldn't call them with respect, they don't deserve it." Hua Cheng frowned.
On the side, Feng Xin looked like he wanted to say something, but looking like he couldn't make up his mind, he paused, and in the end remained silent.
The sharp ones noticed and started their own theories silently.
Jun Wu cleared his throat and questioned, "Xian Le, how many Golden Belts did you have in your possession in the past?"
Xie Lian covered his forehead with his hand, "...Too many. At least ten..."
Mu Qing answered flatly, "Over forty, each with different embroidery and patterns."
