Compared to a benevolent ruler, people would always fear and obey a tyrant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Liang clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles cracked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This… This is ridiculous!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice trembled with suppressed rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't expected all the servants and guards to take part in lying for Bai Zihan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, what could he do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if all the disciples of the Heaven Sword Sect protested, the result wouldn't change. It would still be concluded that Bai Zihan had no fault as there is a lack of evidence from different parties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, just like now, they could always justify Bai Zihan slapping Shen Liang by claiming that Shen Liang had insulted him first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xueqing frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn't blind—she could tell the servants were likely favoring Bai Zihan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the same time…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no concrete evidence against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it did seem that Shen Liang had insulted Bai Zihan first, which technically gave Bai Zihan the right to retaliate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While his response may have been excessive, it happened within the Bai Clan's territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Liang had insulted a direct heir of the Bai Clan in their own estate.
