Chapitre 582: Deliberating and passing the sentence (6)

The hate-filled eyes were not hidden from sect master Pan Xue who remained unmoved even by the hostility displayed by one of the disciples of his sect.

"I am sorry judge Yang Qing, but I am a bit lost. You're saying you're about to pass a verdict on our sect but this is the first I am hearing of any sort of grievance filed against us, and if there were, shouldn't we have been present to defend ourselves?

I may have not gone to the courts much but I have had a few acquaintances familiar with its working. As far as I know, unless I am mistaken, both parties need to be present.." said the Sect Master in a tone that was neither overbearing nor servile.
