Chapter 69 The Logic of a Madman

Chapter 69 The Logic of a Madman

Pei Yunjing walked through the crowd and stood before Tang Li.

At this moment, Tang Li was still lying on the ground, holding her head in her hands, looking pitiful and "terrified," but in reality, she was observing the situation through her fingers.

Seeing those familiar black combat boots stop in front of her, a huge weight was finally lifted from her heart.

Pei Yunjing did not look at the gleaming swords and blades around him.

He bent down, and his hands, stained with countless drops of blood and the very hands that had just crushed a jade cup, now reached out naturally to the woman on the ground.

"The ground is cold."

He spoke calmly, his voice low and deep, without a trace of anger, but rather with a sense of habitual indulgence.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, and under the resentful gaze of the Empress Dowager.

The powerful regent gently took Tang Li's arm and helped her up from the ground.

He bent down slightly, extending his noble hands to gently pat the dust off the knees of Tangli's red dress.

Once, twice.

The movements were meticulous, as if polishing a rare, dusty treasure.

"It's dirty."

Pei Yunjing frowned, a hint of displeasure in his voice:

"Don't kneel randomly next time. The floor in this palace isn't necessarily cleaner than the floor in our Prince's Mansion."

Tang Li: "..."

Wow, you're really bold to say that!

After doing all this, Pei Yunjing slowly straightened up.

Turning around, he finally managed to give the hysterical old woman on the platform a single glance.

"Magic?"

Pei Yunjing chuckled lightly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes; it was filled with chilling mockery.

"Is the Empress Dowager's eyesight failing?"

He pulled Tang Li close, holding her tightly in his arms, his gaze sweeping across the room like a sharp blade:

"My queen is so weak she can't even kill a chicken. You say she possesses sorcery? That she can command a beast to commit violence?"

"If she really has that ability..."

Pei Yunjing's lips curled into a cruel smile, his eyes filled with utter contempt:

"Does the Empress Dowager think you can still speak while standing?"

The threat in those words was so blatant it was chilling.

It means: If she really knew magic, you would be dead by now.

"You—! You're just making excuses!"

The Empress Dowager was so angry that her chest heaved violently, and the wounds on her face bled again due to her agitation.

"Then tell me! Snowball is usually very docile, so why does she go crazy as soon as she gets close? If it's not her doing, then who is?"

Why?

Pei Yunjing seemed to have heard a joke.

He casually straightened his cuffs, looking at the Empress Dowager with a gaze that was both pitying and indifferent, as if she were an ant.

It presented a "madman's logic" that surprised everyone, yet was impossible to refute:

“A beast is a beast; its wild nature is hard to tame, and it’s only a matter of time before it devours its master.”

"It's usually docile, but that's because it's not the right time yet."

Pei Yunjing took a step forward, his murderous aura soaring to the sky, his voice booming like a great bell, making people's eardrums ache:

"All things in this world have a spirit. If the master is virtuous, all things will naturally submit to him."

"But what if the master is wicked, cruel, and vicious..."

He stared intently at the Empress Dowager's disfigured face, speaking each word slowly and deliberately, as if delivering a judgment:

"Then you won't even be able to subdue a beast, and will instead be devoured by it."

"This is not sorcery."

Pei Yunjing gave a cold laugh and uttered two words that would infuriate the Empress Dowager:

"This is called divine retribution."

boom--!

The moment those two words were uttered, the entire audience erupted in uproar.

Divine retribution?

The Regent actually publicly criticized the Empress Dowager for her moral failings, incurring divine retribution?!

This is tantamount to peeling off the Empress Dowager's face and stomping on it!

It's even harder than a cat's scratch!

"You...you..."

The Empress Dowager was so angry that her vision blurred, and she couldn't catch her breath. She spat out a mouthful of blood and swayed precariously.

"They've rebelled...they've rebelled..."

She pointed a trembling finger at Pei Yunjing, only to find that she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

Tang Li leaned against Pei Yunjing's chest, listening to this robber's logic, and almost wanted to applaud him.

Absolutely amazing!

This is the true self-cultivation of a top-tier madman!

Regardless of the truth, if I say you are cursed by God, then you are cursed by God!

You disagree? Keep it to yourself!
