The plaintiff was Xu Qingxiao, the judge was Xu Qingxiao, and the one passing sentence was also Xu Qingxiao

Peach Blossom Nunnery.

The Gathering of Worthies Banquet.

A figure slowly appeared before Xu Qingxiao.

The newcomer wore the servant's uniform of Peach Blossom Nunnery and looked at Xu Qingxiao with a fawning smile.
