In response to this, Marquis Longyin calmly asked, "Zheng Liyuan, why don't you tell me how, exactly, I've been acting out of line?"
Zheng Liyuan glared at Marquis Longyin, momentarily at a loss for words.
But a high-ranking official from one of the seven institutes shouted, "Of course you've been acting out of line! You actually allowed all the University Institutes of the Seven Great Flame Countries to fail!"
Marquis Longyin just laughed. He looked at the person who had spoken and slowly shrugged.
"Speak clearly. How did I make the University Institutes fail? Did I ever lift a finger?"
"I was merely fulfilling my duty as the Commander of the Order Enforcement Team."
"From start to finish, I never violated a single rule of the first trial. I even stopped Vice Dean Li Wumian from interfering with the competition. Everyone here can attest to that."
"Fine. I'll recount all the details for you, step by step."
