Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 751

Chapter 751: Chapter 754 for the World, for the People 1/7

Rui’er looked mockingly at these people. She was terrified, knowing her fate would be tragic, yet she couldn’t help but laugh tauntingly. "You fools! To be so foolish and still not admit it?"

"What did you say?"

"You dare insult me?"

"Even if you are a child, this King will not let you go for saying such things."

They were furious, refusing to admit their foolishness. After all, how had they responded when Wu Tian spoke earlier? If they were known for being deceived by a child, they might as well bash their heads against a wall and die. Thus, they would never admit it, no matter what.

"A bunch of fools, so clearly foolish, yet utterly unaware?" Rui’er laughed, her mockery chilling. "Your sons, your daughters... I had them all killed. You never imagined that, did you? Of course, you never suspected me. You pack of fools, you know nothing. You were merely pawns in my game."

"You... what nonsense are you spouting?"

"Yes, you must be talking nonsense!"

The Kings and Sect Masters had already determined that Wu Tian was not the killer, but they couldn’t admit it. No matter what, they could not face this truth. To think that they, the dignified rulers of kingdoms and masters of sects, were being played for fools by a mere child. Heavens, the disgrace was enough to make them die of shame.

Rui’er’s laughter grew more frantic. "You clearly know the truth, yet you pretend you don’t? If you aren’t fools, what are you? Being a fool isn’t scary. What’s scary is being a fool who refuses to admit it!"

The Kings and Sect Masters gritted their teeth, veins bulging at their temples.

Wu Tian and the little one, however, found this quite amusing.

"Now the truth is out," Wu Tian said coldly as he took a step forward, his presence unmatched. "The truth of the matter is clear to everyone, is it not? This has nothing to do with me, yet you came to question me, even wanting to hold a public trial. Heh. So, what do you think you should do now?"

The Kings and Sect Masters furrowed their brows, unsure of what Wu Tian wanted from them.

Si’er didn’t want her Sect Leader to kill too many people. She reminded them, "You need to apologize. And remember, it must be a public apology so that everyone in the Three Realms knows you are sorry."

This was tantamount to issuing a self-indicting edict. If they apologized publicly, those within their countries and sects with ulterior motives would certainly seize the opportunity. The brows of the Kings and Sect Masters knitted together like tight ropes.

"No, impossible! Such a thing is absolutely impossible!"

"Right, an apology is just an apology. It doesn’t matter where. We can just apologize right here."

"Indeed, a public apology? Isn’t that too severe?"

They would rather die than issue a self-indictment or a public apology. They still wanted to keep their positions secure. As for wrongly accusing Wu Tian, questioning him, and even wanting to put him on public trial? In their eyes, it was indeed an insult to Wu Tian, but not a major one. A private apology would suffice.

Wu Tian saw through their intentions and gave a cold laugh. "Fine. Just fine. You come here in full force, making a spectacle for the whole world to see as you casually accuse me, question me, and call for my trial. But when it’s time for your apology, you want it kept quiet. What is the meaning of this?"

Wu Tian chuckled. "Your reputations are so precious, but mine is worthless?"

"Wu Tian, we were wrong about this matter," one of the Kings said softly, clearly not wanting the onlookers from Xiuyuan Country to overhear. It was obvious this group cared deeply about saving face. I thought you were the killer, but it turns out I wrongly accused you. Still, I can’t apologize publicly. Otherwise, where would I hide my face?

The other Kings and Sect Masters agreed. They had arrived in a grand procession, and all the common folk along the way knew they were coming to find Wu Tian and make him confess his crimes. And now? It turned out they had been manipulated with ease by a child. They were wrong, but they could only apologize in secret. They could not publicly announce that they were in error. Otherwise, what about our prestige? If our admission led to turmoil, what would we do then?
