Watching Li Nuo leave, County Magistrate Pei sighed again and said, "Ah..."
Su Qing glared at him and said irritably, "What are you sighing for!"
Pei Zhe shook his head and replied, "I'm sighing for Lord Li."
Su Qing frowned and asked, "What's wrong with him?"
Pei Zhe explained, "His cultivation is in Legalism. According to Daxia Law, Miss Song has committed a capital offense. By the look of it, Lord Li seems to have a way to save her, but if he does, his path of Legalism will be cut off..."
Although he hadn't practiced Legalism, as a County Magistrate, he had to be familiar with the Law and thus knew Legalism well.
Even an inadvertent misjudgment in a case led to a regression in cultivation for those who pursued Legalism.
