"Little friend, this man serves under me. Since he has done wrong, it naturally falls to me to deal with him."
"You need not worry about this matter. I will naturally enforce the law impartially."
Wang Gao smiled faintly at Ye Lin.
His tone was exceedingly courteous, and his reasoning was sound and well-founded, without the slightest flaw to be found.
"Senior, since he deliberately plotted to frame me, and I nearly died at his hands, I naturally cannot swallow this grievance."
"I ask that Senior hand him over to me, so that I may deal with him personally."
Ye Lin was neither servile nor overbearing, his tone resolute.
He had to deal with this fellow himself.
There was something wrong with this Holy Palace branch in Fire Province. If Wang Gao handled him, he would probably let him go the moment Ye Lin left.
Ye Lin naturally would not show mercy to someone who had nearly caused his death.
A life for a life—this was only right and proper.
"Little friend, the Holy Palace has its rules. Surely you know that?"
"Within the Holy Palace, matters must be handled impartially. There is no room for leniency."
"Little friend, I hope you will not make trouble without reason. Otherwise, even if you are a member of the Holy Palace, I will detain you here and report this matter."
Wang Gao's expression darkened slightly, and a flash of anger passed through his eyes.
He had already been so polite, had already lowered himself so much—why was this fellow still biting down and refusing to let go?
If this fellow before him were not also a member of the Holy Palace, then as merely a Daluo Golden Immortal junior, Wang Gao would never have taken him seriously.
Hearing this, Ye Lin sighed.
