Chapter 719: Chapter 354: Zhi Ning’s Tears! The Decisive Battle with Fang Qingshu!_3

Instantly, her hope for saving Yan Nai’er grew even greater.

Fang Qingshu stepped forward and half-bowed to Fu Lingxi, saying, "Your honor Judge, Mrs. Yan Nai’er is suspected of heresy against the Dragon faith and wielding Anti-Dragon Power. The arrest warrant has been personally signed by Judgment Chief Luo Ge himself, please review it!"

Fu Lingxi took the arrest warrant, examining it carefully twice, and upon seeing Luo Ge and Ge Li’s signatures at the end of the document, her brows immediately furrowed deeply.

At this moment, Suo Ningbing stepped forward and whispered, "Mother, you can definitely save Nai’er, right?"

Could Fu Lingxi save Nai’er at this time?

Strictly speaking, she could.

After all, she was one of the judges at the Zhidu Holy Temple Court, and could absolutely take over this case actively, personally escort Yan Nai’er to Zhi Du Sanctuary, and keep her firmly in her grasp, protected from the torment and violation of Fang Qingshu and the others.

But there was no doubt that such an action would offend Fang Qingshu.

Just how deep Fang Qingshu’s background was—she knew it crystal clear. The weight of the Hidden Land’s Young Lord was immense.

Having offended Fang Qingshu today, while he couldn’t do much to her—a judge, her path to promotion within the Holy Temple would undoubtedly be severed.

She knew clearly that Fang Qingshu’s motive for capturing Yan Nai’er was not justice but personal vendetta.

Once Yan Nai’er fell into his hands, she would certainly be subject to the utmost humiliation, unable to live or die as she wished.

If she took charge of this case actively, she could protect Yan Nai’er from violation to some extent.

Should she save her? Should she pay the price of offending Hidden Land to save Yan Nai’er?

Fu Lingxi fell into a difficult decision.

"Mother, you can definitely save Nai’er, right?" Suo Ningbing pleaded at her side.

Half a minute later, Fu Lingxi made her choice.

Fu Lingxi took a deep breath and said, "This is an arrest warrant jointly signed by the Judgment Chief and the Grand Priest. No one in the entire kingdom can defy it; I am powerless as well."

And Suo Ningbing trembled, her complexion turning deathly pale, tears sliding down as the look she gave her mother, Fu Lingxi, gradually became icy cold.

Then she remembered Suo Lun’s words: the people of Dragon Temple are heartless and unrighteous.

Even though Fu Lingxi had been tender in these past days, and patient towards Qin Qin and Yuanba, deep down she was still heartless and unrighteous.

Fang Qingshu’s heart filled with a smug sneer—Fu Lingxi was indeed playing along nicely.

Then, he abruptly waved his hand and ordered, "Break in and seize her. If anyone resists, kill without mercy!"

"Wait..." At that moment, a thunderous shout came from the sky.

A Griffin Beast swooped down, bringing the arrival of the Tianshui City Lord, Suo Lun!

Suo Lun leaped down directly from the Griffin’s back, confronting Fang Qingshu with a cold voice, "Mr. Fang Qingshu, are you certain that you want to arrest my wife, Yan Nai’er?"

"Of course..." Fang Qingshu replied coldly: "Now, no one can save your woman."

Suo Lun said, "Are you sure you won’t regret it?"

Fang Qingshu laughed out loud, saying, "Suo Lun, you’ve just had a tiny win in the mortal world, and you’re so ignorantly arrogant? You, a mere vassal, are like an ant, yet you threaten to make me regret?"

Next, Fang Qingshu bellowed, "Go in, seize her!"

Suo Lun said, "Very well, I will hand her over now. Come, call Mrs. Yan Nai’er out!"

By this time, the outside of Tianshui City Lord’s residence was already crowded with people.

A quarter of an hour later, a stunningly beautiful woman in a dark blue long dress, Yan Nai’er, walked out gracefully, appearing before everyone in an unprecedented fashion.

Note: The second update is delivered, begging for support. I took a train back home this afternoon, and after arriving in Jiaxing at around nine, I started to bury myself in writing. I am truly exhausted, thank you all!
