momentarily how could this human know so
much was she capable of reading mines
Aunt ruan's face soured as she realized
the foolishness of her kin not to
mention Ganan Keen Insight indeed humans
were quite Adept at manipulating the
hearts of others previously when AC
proposed the establishment of a ruthless
tribunal the elders had unanimously
opposed him even those he had originally
courted for support he chose not to
press the matter further after all elves
were innately benevolent and pure how
could they allow such filth to
infiltrate their Forest Sanctuary yet as
incidents within the clan escalated not
only instigated by Outsiders but also by
Restless clansmen even the usually
Serene thorny Woods became bustling with
activity due to the influx of clansmen
seeking reflection it felt less like
Penance and more like a vacation as the
number of incidents grew the elders
found themselves overwhelmed when AC
raised the issue again he stated if we
do not adopt the stringent measures
employed by Outsiders to instill fear
such occurrences will proliferate until
they genuinely threaten the foundation
of the Elven race at which point it will
be too late for regrets once the
tribunal is established and the costs
become apparent those misled clansmen
will awaken to the truth upon hearing
these words the elders were visibly
stirred with so many recent troubles a
means to alleviate their burdens was
certainly appealing especially since it
would be constructed adjacent to the
thorny Woods once the elders relented
construction of the tribunal commenced
it was evident that AC had long since
mapped out the location and secured
skilled Artisans merely awaiting the
elders approval from the initiation of
construction to its completion a mere 10
days elapsed Aunt Ruan let out a sigh of
relief it was time to promote the
tribunal within the clan even if it
garnered an unfavorable reputation it
was certainly preferable to the ongoing
unrest within the community she had
gleaned what she needed to know and no
longer felt the need to press shouchi
further waving her hand dismissively
very well if you submit everything you
have received I shall spare your life
and you will spend 30 years in the
thorny Woods for reflection though you
accept although Aunt ran had frequently
visited the tribunal during this period
She had only ever delivered individuals
there this was her first time conducting
an interrogation knowing that the
perpetrator was within her jurisdiction
and recalling in xia's usual diligence
her heart softened and she chose not to
pursue the matter further xia's face lit
up with joy but before she could respond
guonan interrupted Aunt Ruan shiai
cannot be spared Aunt ruan's gaze turned
sharp as she fixated on her her
expression taught with displeasure since
when have the Affairs of my Elven Clan
required interference from your kind
ganion earnestly countered Shia's
actions equate to treachery against the
clan moreover she has falsely accused
two colleagues for her own
self-preservation such character L Zing
suddenly interjected oh come now she is
merely a young elf lacking the cunning
to navigate such complexities she is
only striving to survive tonan you are
being too harsh we ought to emulate Aunt
ran and maintain our kindness luu's eyes
darted around and she quickly chimed in
indeed we shall announce xia's
punishment Upon Our return which will
both instill fear in the other elves and
spare us the appearance of Cruelty
thereby enhancing ant ruan's reputation
it is a two-fold benefit guon tion
immediately grasped the implications ASM
member of the human race her position
was precarious even now she could not
voice her thoughts directly yet having
spoken earlier she found it difficult to
retract her words and could only remain
silent L zing and the others
