Liu Xingyu was called away, and indeed, it was at the behest of Central City.
They hoped he and Master Moran would bring the suspect from the Duanmu family to Central City for a retrial of this case.
They clearly stated that during that time, a member of the Duanmu family was not present, escaped to Central City, and incited other families to lodge complaints.
Liu Xingyu straightforwardly refused, stating, "I believe this case is sufficiently adjudicated by East City."
"Are you joking," the other side erupted, "is this case for you to decide, or for Moran to decide?"
"Of course it's for Master Moran to decide," Liu Xingyu responded without hesitation, "I'm only responsible for guarding, he's the one in charge."
So it's not you trying to grab power, the other side eased a bit, "Then how do you think a Golden Core can adjudicate a Nascent Soul?"
Liu Xingyu's reply sounded somewhat baffling, "Nascent Soul... what Nascent Soul?"
