24: Chapter 24: Hard against the Court of Justice, come and chop me

"The Enforcement Hall, people from the Enforcement Hall are here! Now there's a good show to watch." Everyone around was shocked.

"The leader is Guo Kun from the Guo Family. This one is a ruthless individual; anyone he brings into the Enforcement Hall never has a good end."

Ye Wushuang frowned. "This is big trouble now. The Enforcement Hall has been alerted, and Guo Kun is the one who came." He secretly took out a token and then crushed it, hoping it wasn't too late.

Jiang Xuan turned around and saw a group of people, dressed in gray robes with the character 'Law' carved on their backs, descending from the sky. The leader had a square Face, and a long saber scar from his eye to the corner of his mouth looked a bit chilling.

Guo Kun looked at Cheng Yuan, who was lying on the ground, with a somber Face and an icy expression. He looked at Jiang Xuan, his tone brooking no argument, "I told you to stop. Didn't you hear me?"

Jiang Xuan looked at Guo Kun, who was acting like he owned the place, with a look of displeasure. He picked his ear and said dismissively, "I heard it. So what?"

"Since you heard it, why didn't you stop?!" Seeing Jiang Xuan's demeanor, Guo Kun's Face grew even uglier.

Jiang Xuan continued, "Who do you think you are? You say stop, and I have to stop?"

As soon as he said this, everyone was astonished. "Is this Jiang Xuan so brave? Daring to talk to someone from the Enforcement Hall like that."

Normally, when they saw people from the Enforcement Hall, they would avoid them, fearing they might offend them and be taken away for torture.

Those who reported him were overjoyed. "Haha, this Jiang Xuan is completely finished now. Offending Guo Kun, he'll be skinned alive even if he doesn't die."

Hearing Jiang Xuan's words, someone beside Guo Kun couldn't help but shout, "Presumptuous! Young man, do you know who you're talking to?! This is the captain of Enforcement Hall's First Team, Guo Kun."

Jiang Xuan looked them up and down, then curled his lips and said, "Oh? Guo Kun, huh?"

"Hmph, scared now, aren't you?"

"Sorry, never heard of him!"

"You...!"

Guo Kun raised his hand to interrupt, a cruel smile appearing on his Face. "It's alright, young man. Once you go to the Enforcement Hall, you'll get to know me. Trust me, you'll definitely not want to go a second time."

After speaking, he shouted at Jiang Xuan, "Outer Courtyard disciple, Jiang Xuan, disregarded academy regulations, privately engaged in combat with someone, and severely injured them. According to the law, he shall be taken back to the Enforcement Hall for severe punishment!"

"Young man, come with us," Guo Kun's subordinate said sinisterly.

A dangerous glint appeared in Jiang Xuan's eyes. He said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "What if I say no?"

"Hehe, that's even better. If we have to make a move, you'll be leaving lying down."

"Hold on, hold on~" Just as both sides were at loggerheads, another voice came. Another group of people, similarly dressed in Enforcement Hall uniforms, descended from mid-air. The leader had a refined appearance and looked like a good-natured person.

"It's Ye Yun from the Second Team. Why is he here? Is he also here to arrest Jiang Xuan?"

Seeing the newcomers, Ye Wushuang breathed a slight sigh of relief. He had finally arrived. He walked over and said warmly, "Second Brother."

Ye Yun patted his shoulder, his eyes warm. "Third Brother."

Then, he walked into the courtyard, looked left and right, "Oh my, it's really lively here. Brother Guo is also here."

"Ye Yun, why aren't you staying with your Second Team? What are you doing here?" Guo Kun frowned.

"Hehe, of course, I'm here to enforce the law. I heard someone was fighting privately in the academy, so I specifically came to check. You know, I've always been impartial in enforcing the law. I can't tolerate any injustice," Ye Yun said with a smile.

Then, he walked in front of Jiang Xuan. "This must be Junior Brother Jiang Xuan. You truly are a talented individual; one look tells me you're not an ordinary person."

"Don't worry, our Enforcement Hall will never wrongly accuse a good person, nor will we let a bad person go." Saying this, he turned his head and said to Guo Kun, "Brother Guo, let our Second Team handle the interrogation of this Jiang Xuan. There's no need to trouble the brothers of the First Team."

Ye Wushuang also walked to Jiang Xuan's side at this moment and whispered, "Jiang Xuan, don't worry. Going to my Second Brother is just a formality; nothing will happen."

Jiang Xuan gave him a strange look. "Why are you helping me?"

"Didn't I say? I want to be friends with you."

"Tch, if you don't want to say, then don't."

Guo Kun was almost laughing with anger. He said coldly, "Ye Yun, I was here first. You say you're taking him, but on what grounds?"

The smile on Ye Yun's Face disappeared, replaced by a cold and indifferent expression. "So, Captain Guo, you're not giving me Face?" Ye Yun said coldly, his address even changing from Brother Guo to Captain Guo. He really thought he, the captain of Enforcement Hall's Second Team, was just a good-natured person.

"Swish swish swish" Guo Kun and his subordinates all drew their sabers, their expressions fierce. "Ye Yun, you want to snatch someone from my hands? Ask the saber in my hand if it agrees!"

Everyone around was shocked. As expected of the Enforcement Hall, even their sabers were Third-rank Spiritual Artifacts. They all retreated to a distance, lest they be accidentally injured if a fight broke out.

Ye Yun's subordinates were not to be outdone, drawing their weapons in unison. The two teams instantly became deadlocked, and a scent of gunpowder filled the air.

"I say, gentlemen, I never said I was going with you," Jiang Xuan's calm voice came.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Jiang Xuan. Guo Kun sneered, "Hehe, Ye Yun, you went through all that trouble to help this young man, but he doesn't seem to appreciate it, hahaha."

Ye Wushuang was anxious. He quickly said to Jiang Xuan, "Jiang Xuan, don't be impulsive. My Second Brother is also trying to help you."

Jiang Xuan looked at his anxious expression and said with a smile, "I said I don't like owing favors, right? I'll handle this matter myself."

"Also, you said you wanted to be friends with me? Hehe, you'd better think carefully; this can be a very dangerous thing."

Jiang Xuan wasn't lying to him. The path he was going to take would inevitably bring more and more powerful enemies. If they couldn't deal with Jiang Xuan, they might target those around him.

Ye Wushuang's tone was firm. "Jiang Xuan, you underestimate me too much. My Ye Family men always speak with conviction and never go back on their word."

"Haha, good. After this matter is settled, I'll treat you to drinks," Jiang Xuan said with a hearty laugh. With Jiang Xuan's Soul power, he sensed no malice from Ye Wushuang.

And his Illusion-Piercing Amethyst Eyes also found nothing amiss. What he did today also made Jiang Xuan acknowledge him, and in the future, he wouldn't mind helping him out.

"I..." Ye Wushuang still wanted to say something but was stopped by Ye Yun. He smiled and said to Jiang Xuan, "Since Junior Brother Jiang Xuan can handle it, then I won't interfere."

"Second Brother!"

"Don't worry, you have to believe in your friend." After speaking, Ye Yun looked at Jiang Xuan with a strange expression, muttering in his heart, "Hehe, silly boy, do you really think your Second Brother came because of you?"

Jiang Xuan walked in front of Guo Kun, his expression playful. "What did you just say your name was? Guo Kun? What's your relationship with Guo Feng?"

Guo Kun's expression changed. "You know Second Young Master...?" Immediately after, as if he had realized something, his eyes blazed with anger. "That mysterious person who injured Second Young Master, was it you?"

Jiang Xuan's expression was playful. He slowly extended his head towards Guo Kun, placed his right hand on his own neck, and grinned, "Correct. Come on, chop me."
