"You're spouting nonsense! I'm loyal to Crime Sea City to the core. I would never betray the Water Race!" Qi Luo shouted.
Qi He smiled and said, "Loyal to Crime Sea City to the core? Gui He, come out and tell us."
Qi Luo's expression changed. Even the scales all over his body lost their luster.
Fang Yun calmly watched the enormous sea turtle swimming slowly toward them.
Gui He took his time, speaking in an aged voice as he swam. "Qi Luo, stop deceiving the Emperors. You deceived not only Qi Mo, but me as well. You said you were merely bringing a sailfish to read the stone carvings, but what happened? If I'm not mistaken, that sailfish was the Literary Star Dragon Noble in disguise, wasn't he? Not only did he read a vast number of our race's stone carvings, he also stole some from the Stone-Carving Pit that had yet to be consumed. His crimes are heinous! I truly never imagined you would collude with an outsider. How tragic, how tragic!"
After speaking, Gui He slowly turned and swam back, his aged figure looking somewhat forlorn.
"Qi Luo, what else do you have to say?" Qi He asked.
Qi Luo's expression shifted repeatedly. He had no answer at all.
Fang Yun, however, smiled.
"What are you laughing at, traitor?" Qi He glared at Fang Yun.
Still smiling, Fang Yun said, "As the Literary Star Dragon Noble and a special envoy of the Grand Censorate, which commandment of the Dragon Race did I violate by reading Crime Sea City's stone carvings? To investigate the movements of the Ancient Demon Battle Souls, I purchased the memories of the Water Race. What grave crime did that constitute? Come, tell me. Tell all the Emperors! If you cannot, don't blame me
