At Yang Qing's direction, Xia Ting went to the doors of the courtroom and respectfully called a couple of people over.
A total of five people walked in. Li Shu and Bai Zou looked back in curiosity at the new entrants to the case more so the former.
Li Shu's pupils constricted in surprise as she recognized two of the people. Bai Zou had a similar reaction though not as exaggerated. He had the same look of recognition Li Shu had.
Two of the people nodded toward Li Shu with polite smiles on their faces. They wore dark blue robes that had an emblem of a cauldron that was seated on top of a flowing river.
Of the two one was a middle-aged woman with a short build, black hair tied in a bun that had greying in it. She had light green eyes and a kind-looking face. Next to her, spotting the same robes was a slender tall man, who looked to be in his sixties with grey hair neatly tied at the back, and had a serious expression that resembled someone very studious of their work.
Li Shu offered a slight bow toward them, with an apologetic and guilty smile.
Behind the two, were two men, one seemed elderly and the other seemed to be in his late thirties, early forties. They had different robes.
The elderly-looking man had plain grey robes and his hair seemed to be all over the place in a haphazard manner, like an explosion had hit it or he was struck by lightning. Despite his aged appearance, his skin had a rosey suppleness to it, and his black eyes had a depth of profoundness to them.
The young man next to him had blue hair matching eyes and a milky white complexion. Looking at him made one feel like they were staring at a river that gave life to all sorts of fertile plains filled with verdant vegetation.
ραΠdαsΝοvεl ƈοm And finishing the group was a young man who looked to be in his late twenties. He had short brown hair, tanned brown skin, and an honest simple face. Everything around him gave the amalgamation of the qualities of earth.
All five members that had just entered all seemed different in looks, gender, demeanor and had varying cultivations to each other, such as the two cultivators who had nodded toward Li Shu, the middle-aged lady was at the eleventh stage of the core formation realm, while the elderly looking man with the same robes was at the sixth stage of core formation realm. The elderly man with grey robes was a third-stage palace realm expert, while the blue-haired man next to him was a first-stage palace realm expert and the brown-haired young man trailing the group was a ninth-stage core formation expert, which from the fluctuations he was releasing was just inches away from reaching the tenth stage.
While they all seemed different in one shape or form, there was one area in which they were all similar, which is, that they all smelled of herbs, the kind that could only develop on someone who has been around herbs for years and years.
"Thank you all for availing yourself and sparing the time from your busy schedules to assist us in this matter. I on behalf of the Order would like to offer my sincerest gratitude for your time and assistance.."
Yang Qing stood up and cupped his fists in greetings at the five members who all returned his gesture in kind, adding words of gratitude and honor in their responses.
"Okay for purposes of clarity, I will make introductions on their behalf, though for both of you, you know a few of them.." Yang Qing said as he addressed Li Shu and Bai Zou who nodded back in agreement.
Li Shu was familiar with the two blue-robed cultivators who had a cauldron symbol on their robes while Bai Zou seemed to be familiar with a simple-looking brown-haired young man.
"To my right are Alchemist Meng Ye and Pan Xin respectively.." Yang Qing said as he politely gestured to the two blue-robed cultivators Li Shu was familiar with.
"They are the palace master and vice palace master of the Blue River Cauldron Pavillion respectively, and were the ones who did Li Shu's diagnosis.."
The Duo offered a bow to Yang Qing and then to the rest of the cultivators they had walked in with.
Their bows seemed a bit more solemn when they did to the two men next to them i.e. the slovenly-looking old man and the blue-haired young man.
There was deep respect in their eyes as they bowed to the duo.
" Next to them is Alchemist Ma Bo. He is not a foundational member of any organization but is a guest teacher in the Green jade of the Jade Leaf Dao Imperial Academy of the Jade Leaf Empire..."
Li Shu, Bai Zou, the palace master, and the vice palace master of the Blue River Cauldron Pavilion all had looks of shock as they heard Yang Qing's introduction.
The only ones who seemed undisturbed were the blue-haired man and the simple-looking young man. Though the reason for their unperturbed looks was different. The blue-haired man seemed like he already knew the old man's identity, while the simple-looking man seemed like he didn't understand the magnitude of the identity.
To him selling dumplings at a sideway stall and being a guest teacher at the Jade Leaf Dao Imperial Academy may as well have the same importance in his eyes, but to the rest, it was completely different.
The Jade Leaf Dao Imperial Academy was a renowned institution around the Southern continent and shared the same fame just like the One Thousand Battle Hall Palace as a place of training of the same caliber.
Like its name, it was founded and is supported by the imperial family of the Jade Leaf Empire which was a rank 1 Empire and could be considered among the top five empires in the whole Southern Continent.
Everybody around the continent, whether it was a 4-year-old kid climbing mango trees to chase after a grasshopper, a refined scholar, a renowned gossip monger, or an information broker, if you asked them which was the one place that had the greatest pool of knowledge, they would all answer the same thing, the Jade Leaf Empire. This was even with the two holy lands being thrown into the mix.
The Jade Leaf Empire was synonymous with endless knowledge. It was an Empire built upon the foundation of knowledge across all genres be it cultivation or mundane subjects such as tea brewing, The Jade Leaf Empire had it all.
