Bai Ruozhu stole a glance at the great elder and thought about his affair with Diao Mo. She swallowed back the retort she was going to make against Diao Mo. It was only right to give people some dignity and not directly slap the face of their old lover.
So, Bai Ruozhu simply ignored Diao Mo and looked at the fourth Holy Guard, asking, "Have you thought it through? Can you answer now?"
"We were protecting Lord Jin at the time, and Sangta and his men appeared very suddenly, so we failed to protect Lady Jin Jing. We accept our punishment," the guard said.
Bai Ruozhu smiled again, her smile now more sinister, then she turned to the fifth guard and asked, "Tell me, on ordinary days, when you encounter someone speaking disrespectfully and insulting the Holy Hall, what do you do?"
