Chapter 1692: Is there a rule against drinking alcohol?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Elder Gong shook his head, disinclined to pay any more attention to Lei He.
“Ye Wanwan, as long as you expose the mastermind, Scarlet Flas Academy will definitely give you a lenient punishnt. Otherwise, only death awaits you!” Elder Lei He shouted at her harshly.
It wasn’t important whether Ye Wanwan died or not, but if they could use Ye Wanwan to drag Elder Gong into the matter… ng Tian’s death would be worth it!
“Only death awaits ?” Ye Wanwan looked at him in confusion. “I’m rather puzzled by Elder Lei He’s words. May I ask what unpardonable cri I committed that requires to pay with my life?”
“Oh? So you stubbornly refuse to admit your wrongdoings?” the elder from the enforcent council interjected.
Ye Wanwan’s gaze fell on the elder. “Please clearly tell what I did.”
“Ye Wanwan, you murdered ng Tian with irrefutable evidence, so there’s no room for denial,” the enforcer elder expressionlessly said.
“Murdered ng Tian?” Ye Wanwan was startled. “Elder, although matches end when a result is reached… accidents are unavoidable. I believe no one present would refute this point, correct?”
“It’s useless to quibble here,” the enforcer elder said.
“How am I quibbling? If I need to pay a life for a life, then why didn’t Elder Lei He’s eldest disciple stand up and pay with his life when he killed my master’s beloved disciple back then?” Ye Wanwan questioned.
“As you said, accidents are unavoidable. The case of Elder Lei He’s eldest disciple was considered an accident back then.” The enforcer elder’s tone turned impatient.
Ye Wanwan nodded lightly. “That’s right, Elder. My case was also an accident, so I’m also innocent.”
“You claim you did it accidentally?! What a joke! I witnessed you killing ng Tian myself; it absolutely wasn’t an accident!” the referee suddenly argued.
“Referee, how are you a referee with your judgnt abilities?” Ye Wanwan found it humorous. “May I ask what rank ng Tian and ng Ke were, referee?”
“S-rank. So what?” the referee answered truthfully.
“And what rank am I?” Ye Wanwan pursued.
“D-rank, of course.”
“That’s right! When a D-rank rcenary like has to fight two S-rank rcenaries at the sa ti, I can’t help but be nervous. In my nervous state, my brain’s judgnt abilities were naturally compromised. Plus, I’m only a D-rank rcenary, so I can’t control myself as well as an S-rank rcenary. What fault is there from an error on my part?” Ye Wanwan asked with a smile.
“Utter nonsense!” The enforcer elder shouted angrily. “That’s because you drank alcohol and killed ng Tian after getting drunk! How dare you keep searching for excuses?!”
“Drinking alcohol…” The corners of Ye Wanwan’s lips curled up, and she stared at the enforcer elder with a smirk. “May I ask this elder if there are rules in Scarlet Flas Academy that prohibit students participating in the martial competition from drinking alcohol?!”
Everyone turned to each other, stunned.?Um… there really doesn’t seem to be this explicit rule…
“No!” the enforcer elder replied impatiently.
“Since this rule doesn’t exist, why can’t I drink when my craving for alcohol overcos …? If you drink, you get drunk. Your judgnt abilities are impaired and your mind becos intoxicated. This is common knowledge. Hence, drunkenness definitely impacts a match in all sorts of uncertain ways. Everyone knows this, so why didn’t you prohibit a competitor from drinking alcohol? This can only be attributed to an error on your part. What does it have to do with ?” Ye Wanwan lectured him without pause.
“You…!” The enforcer elder was at a loss for words.
With a smile, Ye Wanwan continued, “I’ve done everything in strict adherence of Scarlet Flas’ rules. Since there aren’t any rules that prohibit the consumption of alcohol, I’m not responsible for any of the uncertain factors following the consumption of alcohol. That’s reasonable, right?”
