Chapter 250: Chapter 250 I Said Get a New Chair

"I understand," Lin Fu promised meekly.

Her fingers trembling, she looked back at Fu Xing, whose indifferent face and furrowed brows, tinged with faint anger, made him all the more daunting. At last, she realized that no matter how hard she tried, she would never truly stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

Their thoughts, lives, and concepts were all different.

They... were simply people from two different worlds.

In her eyes, murder was a grave sin. Despite not regretting it and firmly believing that Lady Nora deserved to die, she still felt the need to take responsibility for stripping away a precious life.

Being punished, she felt it was only right.

But Fu Xing didn’t see it that way. He never referred to Lady Nora by name because, in his eyes, Lady Nora wasn’t even considered to have life, let alone value.

She realized that she was still a lonely soul from the Ancient Earth Era, three thousand years ago.

She could never truly blend into their world.

"Heh." Lin Fu laughed hollowly, her back slightly curved, her head bowed, shrinking in her chair—a sight that involuntarily made Fu Xing’s heart ache.

"Ah Foo."

He called out softly, his clear voice tinged with a barely noticeable tension, "What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Tell me where it hurts."

"I’m fine, I’m sorry, I didn’t know I could refuse, I... I was wrong."

"I know. Are you feeling unwell?"

"I really am fine." Lin Fu smiled faintly and assured Fu Xing, "I understood what you just said. Don’t worry, I won’t make the same mistake again, and I won’t let others use me anymore."

Emerging from her sunken, lonely emotions, Lin Fu felt a surge of anger.

What she hated most was being used and deceived. Now, if anyone dared to exploit her kindness, they would pay the price.

"It’s time to attend."

Lin Fu ended the communication and passed the Light Computer to a man standing quietly at the crowd’s edge by the door. Taking a deep breath and dismissing her chaotic thoughts, she looked straight ahead, walking confidently to the entrance of the venue with her head high.

"Whoosh!"

The thick, ancient doors slowly opened. Swish, swish, swish... Countless pairs of eyes turned to her, and numerous live broadcast cameras flew in without restraint, almost thrusting themselves in Lin Fu’s face.

She knew these live-streaming cameras were watched by influential bigwigs attending the hearing, yet Lin Fu walked to the chair in the middle of the room as if she hadn’t seen the cameras at all, without a single sidelong glance.

Yet she didn’t sit down.

"What’s wrong?"

"What does it mean that she’s standing?"

With Lin Fu’s arrival, the entire venue fell silent, everyone gazing at Lin Fu in the center, trying to detect any signs of fear, confusion, or embarrassing behavior.

Unfortunately, they found none.

Faced with countless scrutinizing eyes and the intimidating presence of the elders seated on the high platform, Lin Fu didn’t seem to feel any pressure. Her posture was erect, her slender shoulders exuding determination and resilience.

Her expression was calm, free of confusion or guilt, displaying no arrogance or feigned bravado.

As calm as if she had returned to her dormitory.

This made many people marvel quietly and begin murmuring among themselves, attracting a look of discontent from the order-keeping host, who questioned, "Student Lin Fu, what are you doing? Will you not sit down?"

"Please, bring a different chair," Lin Fu said calmly.

"What did you say?" The host thought he had misheard.

The thirty-seven elders seated behind him all showed a change of expression—some frowned slightly, others were pensive, some looked angry, and a few glanced at Xia Zeming, their eyes flickering, not daring to look in his direction after Lin Fu’s statement.

"I said, bring another chair."
