Unfortunately, Xing Hun had no intention of allowing him time to "explain".
"Long Xi has broken his allegiance and plotted to murder the Grand Tutor. Bring him to the dungeons. We will determine what to do after I report this to His Majesty."
No one objected to Xing Hun's statement.
Long Xi had always been highly regarded by the people, and many would have stood up for him even over such a grave matter. However, the Sa Er Emperor had recently expressed his displeasure at Long Xi. Coupled with today's incident—where he tried to murder the Grand Tutor, and would have killed them all together—no one was willing to speak up for Long Xi anymore.
The Sacred Dragon Emperor kept struggling as he was detained by the Grand Tutor's guards, but to no avail.
Xing Hun looked completely unaffected, even after such a ruckus. Frowning slightly, he made some reassuring statements to the congregation before announcing that the banquet would end early.
