Chapter XIX
Xia Luo stood on the stage and indifferently glanced at the disciples who were pointing at him in the audience, and then returned his gaze to the stage. The words bewildered, angry, shocked, scrutinized, etc., seemed to be written on the faces of the elders, staring at Charlotte without saying a word.
And a look of surprise flashed in Confucius's eyes, and he didn't know if it was because he was surprised and had come to his senses, or because Xia Luo suddenly came on stage.
Everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on the number one disciple of Kong Shang Mansion.
"Why? am I wrong?" said Charlotte.
"Disciple Charlotte, I command you as an elder to answer truthfully. One of the elders recovered from the shock, "You, do you really intend to kill Wu Ma Guanyu?"
There was silence on and off the stage, and everyone nervously waited for Xia Luo's answer, and some of the elders who supported Confucius clenched their fists tightly, and cold sweat broke out from their foreheads.
Confucius stared at Xia Luo, as if thinking about something.
Charlotte glanced around, then snorted and laughed, "Yes or no, what does it matter until now?"
There was an uproar in the audience.
"He... Senior brother, he... Does this mean that he admits it?" "It's impossible, isn't it? Senior Brother Xia Luo is obviously a zero-element affinity, how could he seriously injure that Heavenly Pride? There must be some method of invisible light!" The speculation in the mouths of the disciples became more and more exaggerated.
An elder seemed to be enraged, and shouted at Xia Luo: "This matter is related to the life and death of everyone in the entire Confucian Mansion, but you say that it doesn't matter?"
Charlotte smiled disdainfully, "I'm afraid it's about the reputation of your elders, that's why you're so nervous." ”
"Let's not talk about whether the alliance and the Longdu Mansion joined forces to deal with me is true, you actually asked the master directly without saying a word, what is your intention?"
"The many elders who received the news at the first time, you did not immediately investigate the truth of the news, the extent to which the other party's pre-war preparations had become, and how many governments were willing to support us, you did not immediately investigate this information, but stood in front of many disciples to question Confucius, doubting your own disciples. ”
Charlotte sighed and looked at the mountains in the distance, "Look at the Longdu Mansion again, there is no formal trial, there is no formal negotiation, just a general order will confuse you. Regardless of the truth of the facts, the entire continent was directly stirred up with the intention of launching this battlefield. ”
"I intend to kill Wu Ma Guanyu, so now, what difference does it make if it is yes or no?"
"Today they ordered me to be handed over, but who will it be tomorrow?some wonderful disciple?one of the elders?"
"Or will it be Confucius?"
"Elders, your performance is chilling. Charlotte glanced at the elders again, shook her head and said coldly.
The elders frowned when they heard this, and the expressions on their faces were different, some seemed to be pondering Charlotte's words, and some looked at Charlotte with angry eyes.
"Disciple Charlotte, you still haven't answered our question. One of the calm elders spoke, "Yes or no?"
When Charlotte heard this, she laughed twice. "Since you really want to know that, then I'll tell you the truth. ”
He paused for a moment, and all the people stared at him in silence.
Then he said, "Yes." ”
"And I did the same thing to destroy half of the Dragon Capital Mansion. ”
"As for whether I have the strength to do so, you can ask him. Xia Luo lightly pointed to Confucius on the stage, as if the old man in front of him and Xia Luo were strangers.
Shock, anger, lamentation and other clamours rang out from the audience. For a while, the entire martial arts arena was extremely chaotic, and the noise overshadowed everything.
"Quiet!" a roar seemed to explode in the ears of the disciples, and a certain huge elder shouted loudly. At this moment, the entire martial arts arena was quiet again.
"Ahem, then Confucius, please tell us if what Xia Luo's disciple said is true. He asked the Master respectfully.
Confucius didn't speak immediately, he stared at Xia Luo and pondered from beginning to end, as if the farce in front of him had nothing to do with him.
After a long time, as if the master had made a decision, he nodded slightly, "It's true, what he said is true." ”
There was another uproar in the audience, louder than before. "In other words, Senior Brother Charlotte is the culprit?How is this possible?!" "Hey, but have you heard that the master has already admitted it? Besides, he is the master's personal disciple, and he may know some kind of secret art, and he may use it as a combat power." ”
Nearly thousands of people in the audience were talking loudly at the same time, and the scene fell into chaos again. Derogatory titles such as murderer, instigator, culprit and so on were all added to Charlotte's body.
The elders made eye contact with each other and agreed on their opinions. Some sighed in mourning, some turned their heads to look no further, and some stared at Charlotte with eyes that gradually turned cold.
In order to protect themselves, they did not hesitate to break their arms.
This is 'human' nature.
"Then Confucius, many of our elders have agreed on the same thing. One of the high-ranking elders spoke, "Now as all the elders, we petition Confucius..."
“... Hand over Charlotte. ”
Everyone's eyes were on Confucius in the center of the stage, quietly waiting for the Master's answer.
As if he hadn't heard the elders' petition, Confucius's eyes were always fixed on Xia Luo.
Then the master closed his eyes and sighed, and his emaciated figure seemed to age a lot.
Half a moment later, he slowly opened his eyes and finally spoke.
"Why do you want to do this?"
Everyone was stunned, not understanding why the master asked Charlotte such a question.
You know the answer. Charlotte smiled slightly, and said as if she didn't care at all.
