บท 117: Government Intervention

"What? The militia is here?" Liu Xiaochen stood up from his seat in the Main Hall. Wang Jingyuan exchanged a shocked look with her senior brother.

"Official Ma is here with them. He is outside the gates requesting to meet with Senior Sister Wang," reported the Xuanyan pupil who had hurried in.

"Are they here to arrest me?" she asked. "For the murders?"

"They better not be. It's a known rule that the legislative sector does not interfere with the martial arts sector. Even if martial artists were killed by fellow martial artists, it is dealt with by the sects and parties involved, not the local government." Liu Xiaochen's expression was dark. "Not even a day has passed. How did Official Ma catch wind of what happened so quickly?"

"I bet someone tattled."

"Probably. If I find out who he is…" Liu Xiaochen didn't finish the sentence, but he picked up Long Yin Sword from its rack beside his seat. "I shall go and see what Official Ma wants."
