Daily life of a cultivation judge

Chapter 578 Deliberating and passing the sentence (2)

“Could you grab Ellie, we’ll be flying with her. I’ll meet you out there. There’s something I need to arrange with the committee first..”

“Okay..” Luo Meili answered as she went over to stabilize Ma Qi whose legs felt wobbly as he stood up.

His cheeks reddened when he saw Luo Meili help him up. After the shock of being close to an outstanding beauty had dimmed down a bit, Ma Qi was shocked to discover that the sores and pains that had constantly assailed his body along with a sense of fatigue that extended down to his soul seemed like they had been exorcised from his body.

He no longer felt that deathly tiredness, the sense of heaviness that even blinking his eyes seemed laborious, the movement of his qi was no longer sluggish. His qi felt light and vibrant, unlike the muddy deep swampy sensation he felt every time he tried to circulate his cultivation art.

His skin seemed a little rosy even though it still had some paleness and wrinkles to it owing to malnutrition, it was no longer a scaley ashy mess.

“What’s wrong?” Luo Meili softly asked when she saw Ma Qi suddenly pause his steps and start to sniff himself with tears welling up in his eyes.

“Nothing..” Ma Qi said as a gratified smile appeared on his face as he turned back with an eye on gratitude as his gaze fell on the seat he had sat on and finally Yang Qing.

After they left, Yang Qing took out his map which he used to trace the Striding Falcon Sect’s location.

“There you are. Now which of your neighbors is of the same rank as you and with a decent reputation?” Yang Qing muttered as he moved his index finger around the map.

“Mmh, 70,000 kilometers north of them is the 10,000 Mountain Crucible Manor; to the east 83,000 kilometers away is the Spirit Frost Well Forging Pavilion;

To the west is the Cerulean Saber Sect no, not them from what I read they seem to have an unconfirmed relationship with the Stormcloud Empire, if they voted on this, it’s bound to bring up issues.

So who else can we use around here?” Yang Qing muttered as he rubbed his chin while his hand moved a bit further from the blue-colored dot on the map that highlighted the Cerulean Saber Sect.

“You will do, the Three Warden Mirrors Sect. I hope they pick these ascetic maidens, as for the last one, I think I will go with the Silver Rain Spear Sect to the south of them,” said Yang Qing as he drew a circle on the four mentioned names i.e. Mountain Crucible Manor, Spirit Frost Well Forging Pavilion, Three Warden Mirrors Sect and lastly the Silver Rain Spear Sect.

“These four should be acceptable…” he added with a satisfied look on his face as he made a call to the Judicial Review Committee.

“Calling twice on the same day Judge Yang Qing, what is it?” Xi Si’s voice immediately sounded from the other end.

“It’s not like that senior Xi Si..” Yang Qing answered with a nervous laugh.

“As you’re well aware there was a case sent here from the Green Sparrow Branch concerning an outer sect disciple of the Striding Falcon Sect who was filing a case against his sect for negligence, mistreatment, and misrepresentation.

I have already made my judgment on the case which is in his favor, let me send the recordings and my rulings on the matter..” Yang Qing said as he formed a few seals that triggered a reaction from his gold eagle medallion that formed a dazzling golden light that fell on a few recording talismans.

A few moments later the talismans disappeared.

“Received..” answered Xi Si.

“The ruling is sound, we find no problems with it..” answered Jia Bohai who had been next to Xi Si.

“The reason you’re calling is because of the cultivation ethics charter and the impartiality ruling?” added Jia Bohai.

“Yes, senior..”

“Who have you decided on?”

“10,000 Mountain Mortar Manor, the Spirit Fire Well Forging Pavilion, the Three Wardens Mirrors Sect, and the Silver Rain Spear Sect..”

“Good choices, in terms of wide-known respect and reputation you won’t find anyone better. Jiang Chen, do you know if the sect master of the Three Wardens Mirrors Sect has come out of seclusion?

About 360 years ago you had passed by there right?”

“I had when I went to congratulate little Zhan Jue on her breakthrough. I can’t believe that little crybaby who was even afraid of weird-looking clouds would grow up to be a palace realm expert and one of the leading figures of a renowned sect like the Three Wardens Mirrors..”

“They grow up so fast..”

“That they do. Let me call her and confirm if their sect master has come out of seclusion. She should be close to coming out right about now from what I heard back then, but even if she’s still in seclusion, their grand elder Bai Lan, that child can stand in.

She’s just as respected as the sect master both within and outside the sect..”

“You do that…Yang Qing please wait a moment as Jiang Chen confirms the status of the sect master of the Three Wardens Mirrors Sect.

As for the remaining three, there should not be any issues with them. We will contact them immediately and send them the relevant materials. Once they have made their ruling we will send it to you.

Please standby..”

“Thank you, seniors,” Yang Qing said as he leaned back on his chair.

“I hope they vote in support so there is no public backlash from this..” Yang Qing muttered with slight worry in his tone.

Granting Ma Qi his plea was treading on muddy waters for the Order. Things that touched on the internal affairs of sects and other organization was something the Order trod lightly on.

It was a touchy subject, to begin with as the Order would be imposing its will onto how the sect should conduct its affairs.

Their presence was already considered a thorn in many organizations’ eyes and that was when they were preventing mass casualties or handled cases with fiendish cultivators, they still suffered infamy for it.

One could imagine the backlash they would suffer if they interfered directly with how a certain organization operated internally.

A lot of the malcontent and the hate they received over the years was borne out of it as a result to try and control the issue, a bunch of supporting guidelines were created. One of them was the Cultivation Ethics Charter , while the other was Alliance Cooperation Accord.
