Chapter 317: It Seems Certain Death

Shu Ling, the Dean of the Outer Court, landed in front of Jing Yan.

Jiao Yan was a Deacon of the Criminal Punishment Hall, and while Shu Ling had no authority over him, in terms of status, a deacon of the Criminal Punishment Hall was still considered slightly inferior to the Director of the Outer Court.

Therefore, when Jiao Yan saw Shu Ling, he withdrew his Primordial Energy.

"Dean Shu Ling, what is the meaning of this?" Jiao Yan was somewhat dissatisfied with Shu Ling's interference in his execution of Jing Yan.

"Jing Yan is an Outer Court student, but not a regular one. Even if Jing Yan is guilty, and the Criminal Punishment Hall wants to put him on trial, I believe I, as the Director of the Outer Court, should also have the right to be informed. I want to know the basis on which the Criminal Punishment Hall has convicted Jing Yan, I want to know how grave the crimes committed by Jing Yan really are," Shu Ling said slowly.
