Chapter 1700: Chapter 375: Grand Judge (Finale) (Part 2)

Liu Quan is a beginner, but Xie Zheng is at the fourth tier.

To vouch for a Judge...

This needs to be at least a Titled Level Transcendent, and a powerful one at that!

But there’s no doubt, Gu Shen is enough.

"Aren’t you asking what you already know?"

Du Wei smiled wryly and said, "It’s not me who’s qualified, I’m just a vice president. How do I have the credentials to answer that question... If you really want to follow the procedure, I can contact Mr. Zhou Wei now."

Mr. Zhou Wei is old and currently in retirement.

But the official president of the East Continent Federation Security Committee has not been decided.

Like the position of Grand Judge at the Judgement Institute, this position can remain vacant, but one must not carelessly decide on the candidate.

One could say... Currently, Du Wei is one of the few people with the most authority in the Security Committee.

"Then that’s troublesome."

Gu Shen smiled and said, "Some things are better clarified now."

With his current identity, if he abuses his authority, it would only invite criticism.

He wants to protect Xie Zheng and Liu Quan without using personal privilege.

Now, in front of the entire Dojo, according to the security committee’s regulations, he walked through each step of this "guarantee exemption" for Zhou E and Qi He to see!

Du Wei took out a communicator, without waiting to dial.

The electronic screen above the Dojo suddenly changed.

The authority of a great figure linked to [Deep Sea], projecting onto the fortieth floor Dojo of the Judgement Institute headquarters.

"Shush—"

An image appeared on the screen, the background was the artificial lake of the Gu Family Ancestral Hall, an electronic eye was floating, capturing a real-time image.

The elderly man sitting on the bench spoke, his voice spread throughout the Dojo.

"Du Wei..."

Du Wei put down the communicator, his whole body tensed.

"President, sir!"

Though Zhou Wei was already retired, he was still accustomed to being addressed that way.

Mr. Zhou Wei smiled and said, "And Xiao Gu."

"...Mr. Zhou."

Gu Shen looked at the screen above the Dojo, smiling and greeted.

He knew the moment he unveiled the [Ghost Veil], the [Deep Sea] network at the Judgement Institute headquarters would capture this information and disseminate it out. But he didn’t expect the dissemination to be so fast, that even the fishing Mr. Zhou would receive it.

He also didn’t expect the old man to choose to actively link to the Dojo.

"I already understand the general situation."

Zhou Wei said gently, "Don’t make things difficult for Du Wei, he’s just here for the spectacle... Xie Zheng and Liu Quan are both good kids, you should take good care of them."

These words from Zhou Wei essentially represented the attitude of the Security Committee.

Once these words were spoken.

Gu Shen looked at Zhou E and Qi He, seriously asking, "Do either of you have objections?"

Objections?

Zhou E and Qi He were utterly silent; neither had any objections.

"Moreover... I have an old friend here who would like to say a few words."

Zhou Wei gently waved his hand, and the electronic eye buzzed, changing direction towards another elder resting on the bench.

"I’ll say two words, no need to be on camera."

Gu Qilin held the electronic eye, directing the camera back to Zhou Wei, staying outside the frame, speaking slowly.

"Huyan Bo, you are one of the few young people I remember in Jiuning District..."

The tall man standing outside the Dojo looked extremely complex.

"After returning, think carefully about what you used to be like, and then look at what you are now."

Mr. Gu said calmly, "Don’t disappoint the Gu family’s years of cultivation for the Huyan family."

Returning...

Huyan Bo felt a chilling sensation throughout his body.

He came to Changye with great fanfare, today he was supposed to have tea with the Security Committee vice president, and tomorrow he was meant to meet Mr. Gu at the Ancestral Hall. Once everything was confirmed, his relationship with Judge Zhou E would improve significantly.

And Mr. Gu’s words couldn’t be clearer.

He could go home.

There’s no further need to discuss things here.

"Yes..."

Huyan Bo said hoarsely, "Thank you for the advice."

"Hmm."

Gu Qilin continued, "Xiao Gu, since you took the initiative to come to the Judgement Institute today, I took the liberty... to resolve this pending matter today."

Gu Shen was taken aback.

Suddenly, voices spread outside the Dojo.

Gu Qilin exercised his authority, notifying every Judge from one to eighteen remaining at the Judgement Institute.

The Third Judge Wutuo defected and had been executed.

Fourth Judge Zhong Fan followed the Gu Family Envoy and was on his way back.

Every other Judge came to the Dojo, as it was a time of inactivity in Changye, most Judges were near the headquarters.

Of course, the reason they were all in Changye was precisely because of that unresolved issue.

Grand Judge.

These four words, heavy as a thousand pounds.

"Your teacher previously held the position of Grand Judge."

Gu Qilin said, "Zhou Jiren left the Five Continents, and no news has been heard since. However, Judgement Institute, one of three major institutes of Changye, cannot go without a leader for even a day... Internally, the Judgement Institute has had endless debates over this position without finding a suitable candidate."

"But today, we have one."

"Gu Shen, at Red Lake, you executed Jia Wei, fully proving your strength. Joining southern and northern alliances across the two continents, the contributions you’ve made to East Continent over the years are unparalleled in Changye."

"Now, I, in the name of the former Great Commander and the head of the Gu Family, formally propose a nomination—"
