Every year during the newcomer contest in Changye, there are Transcendents who use Taboo Seals.

This kind of behavior can only be described as discouraged.

If the person standing here today were a direct descendant of the five great families, Qi He wouldn’t dare utter a single word, let alone send them to the Security Committee for monitoring.

"Although the ’Recruitment Trial’ is just a small contest, there’s no rule against using Seals in the regulations."

Xie Zheng continued, "This round was won by Liu Quan. To ensure safety, you intervened, which is fine, I’m happy to watch. But if you want to cover the sky with one hand, alter the results, or even send this child to the Security Committee for supervision... Sorry, I won’t let that happen."

Qi He’s expression was very unpleasant.

"As a Judge, I declare the result of this match to be Liu Quan’s victory."

Xie Zheng had just finished speaking.

A voice suddenly came from the entrance of the Dojo.

"Sorry, I disagree."

A burly figure appeared at the entrance of the Dojo, draped in a fox-fur cloak from the Jiuning District, with distinctive bone ornaments on his forehead.

As this tall man appeared, several robust figures in the stands also stood up.

They were all dressed in the same attire.

The Huyan Family of Jiuning District.

Huyan Yu, who was being protected by Qi He, now had a look of immense respect. He spoke nervously, his voice trembling, "... Father, you’re here."

This figure was the Family Head of the Huyan Family, Huyan Bo.

As the head of a family affiliated with the five great families, his cultivation realm was naturally not at the Titled Level, but at least a fourth rank.

In the Jiuning District, he was considered a local overlord, and even in Changye, he had a certain say.

The Family Head of the Huyan Family had made many friends in the Snow Forbidden City.

Huyan Bo slowly spoke, "In Changye, using a Taboo Seal should be reported and approved... Winning through such means should not be recognized."

"This is Changye, not Jiuning."

Xie Zheng glanced at the tall man and the several Huyan Family Transcendents who had stood up, giving them no face: "A loss is a loss, a win is a win, there’s nothing about recognition or not, this is just a small matter."

"Yes, this is just a small matter."

Huyan Bo nodded slightly, saying indifferently, "But there were regulations in the laws of Changye, what do you think?"

The "you" was not directed at Xie Zheng.

"You are the Vice President of the Security Committee, and also the Chief Examiner of the three Recruitment Trials, the rules of this match are up to you."

Huyan Bo slightly sidestepped, making way for the young man behind him.

The young man walked slowly into the Dojo.

A familiar face came into Gu Shen’s view.

Du Wei.

Gu Shen still had an impression of this young man. When he first entered Changye, Du Wei was just a team leader in the action group of the Security Committee, confronting Shen Li, which was his first meeting with Du Wei. Later, during the Divine War in the cemetery, when Gu Shen was tricked and detained by Han Dang in the Monitoring Building, Du Wei helped him a lot, and after that, Du Wei’s career advanced by leaps and bounds.

Now, Du Wei was already the Vice President of the Security Committee?

But of course... Zhou Wei had already retired, spending his days fishing with Gu Qilin at the Gu Family Ancestral Hall.

Du Wei was indeed a very capable and talented young genius.

"I..."

The young man sighed and slowly said, "Indeed, there’s such a regulation in the laws of Changye, to avoid unexpected outcomes, Taboo Seals need approval before they can be used."

As the Vice President of the East Continent Security Committee, Du Wei was now constantly socializing. Huyan Bo, being a local giant in the Jiuning District, extended a sincere invitation upon arriving in Changye, originally proposing to have lunch together, incidentally watching the Recruitment Trial at the Judgement Institute Headquarters. At the time, Du Wei hadn’t thought much and agreed.

He just didn’t expect something like this to happen.

In fact, this kind of situation can be handled depending on the circumstances.

Currently, Liu Quan’s spirit seemed stable, it was completely possible to raise high and put down gently.

Ignorance is no crime.

Du Wei was not foolish. He could see that Huyan Bo intended to use his identity to put pressure on Xie Zheng, hoping to let Huyan Yu take the championship.

Every Recruitment Trial champion would receive recognition from the headquarters, including a breathing technique and a Seal as rewards...

And of course.

The favor of a significant figure.

With so many people in the Dojo, he could only enforce the law impartially, stating the regulations within the law.

Xie Zheng silently watched these people, his gaze gradually turning cold.

If it were someone else, they might retreat at this point, but he happened to be someone who adhered to principles, unwilling to retreat.

"I lost."

The boy, who had been silent on the stage, finally spoke at this moment.

Liu Quan’s hand was held by Xie Zheng, and the boy suddenly looked up, smiling, "I didn’t know the regulations of Changye, nor did I know this item was a ’Taboo Seal’. Violating the regulations, I should be judged as losing."

Winning or losing, reaching this point, was no longer important to him.

He came to Changye, just wishing to stay in Changye.

Whether or not to be the champion, really didn’t matter.

Growing up through trials and tribulations in the small city of Qing River, the boy understood well the warmth and chill of human relationships. He could tell, whether it was Qi He, Huyan Bo, or Du Wei, they were genuinely significant figures. If this matter dragged on, it would benefit neither him nor Xie Zheng.

Conceding was not that difficult.

After Liu Quan spoke, the expression on Qi He’s face finally eased significantly.

Du Wei’s gaze held regret but even more admiration.
