"Haha! You've got it wrong!"
Xi'er chuckled lightly and said, "When I said their history is comparable to that of the Holy Court, I was referring to the duration of their existence, not their historic status!"
"Chief Judge Xi'er, could you please not be so succinct next time you speak? It's terrifying!" Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief and gave Xi'er a sidelong glance, "I thought for a moment that the world's five most powerful forces were about to change!"
"Chief Judge Xi'er, do you know something?" Yiwan Nuofu looked at Xi'er with confusion.
Xi'er smiled faintly and explained softly, "Actually, the families that rely on the martial forces affiliated with the Holy Court were once subservient families to the Holy Court."
"Subservient families to the Holy Court?!" Jiang Chen was stunned and exclaimed in surprise, "The Holy Court... had subservient families?!"
"They did back then!"
