Lord of the Court

On a warm morning 

in the home of the great Namjung family 

in a luxurious room decorated with the most beautiful antiques, ancient swords, and Namjung emblems 

A table covered in white and green cloth, topped with the finest food and delicacies, including goose meat, fruits picked from the imperial farms in the south, and smooth green tea, considered the most expensive tea in the world

Sitting at the end of the table is a man with a white beard streaked with gray and white hair tied with a green ribbon ,

 sharp eyes, and hands covered with scars, clearly from carrying a sword, and green clothes with some black 

The head of the Namjung family, Hali Shin Namjung, also known as Green Flame, ranked 11th among the most powerful humans. 

Sitting in front of him is his wife, the head of the Namjung family, Hali Ling, formerly known as Red Moon. 

She has shiny white hair, kind red eyes, and is dressed entirely in white with some red lines and red circular earrings. 

Ling Nuo speaks with a kind smile, saying

"Time really flies. Ming is going to marry a beautiful woman, and our daughter has married the next leader of the Hua sect... This really makes me wonder where Hao Lin is headed..."

Xing replies as he puts a piece of meat in his mouth

"That reckless boy wasted his great talent and threw it away in that cold-hearted court."

Ling replies, putting her hand over her mouth and saying, 

"Don't say that, dear. That was Hao Lin's choice, and it's not as if he joined a black alliance or a satanic sect. On top of that, he is currently not just a member of the court, but one of the seven judges..."

Ling looks up at the ceiling with a smug tone and a triumphant smile. 

"Ha, I can really brag about my son in front of my sister and even in front of all the ladies of the first-class families."

Sheng sighs at Ling's words and replies, "I remember he used to brag a lot. He probably got that habit from you." "

Sheng looks out the window and says 

"Well, I hope he's okay at least... He's a bit of a troublemaker."

Let's go back to the meeting between Hadba, Hao Lin, and Fan with Hao Lin's older sister.

As Hao Lin's sister gets out of the car, Hao Lin walks up to her, hugs her tightly, and says

"I missed you so much, sister. I wanted to attend your wedding, but the elders stopped me because of my work."

His sister pats him warmly on the head and says with a warm smile 

"It's okay, Hao Lin. I know how hard you work as one of the Seven Judges..." 

Hao Lin looked at his sister with a childish face and a small tear in his eye. 

"Really... Wow, you really are the best sister ever..."

Hao Fan noticed this and gently pulled Hao Lin away from her, greeting Fan and saying 

"Ah, where are my manners? I am Tin Tin Nam Jung, Hao Lin's older sister. You must be his friend. I hope you will take good care of Hao Lin in the future..."

Fan responds with a greeting, saying 

"I am the one who should be saying that. My name is Fan, a member of the Supreme Court."

Fan says to himself 

(Wow, his sister is much more polite than that idiot.)

Then a prominent guard among the guards steps forward and introduces himself. 

"Excuse me for interrupting. My name is Zong, commander of the Fourth Division of the Morim Alliance and guardian of the daughter of the Namjoong family and the daughter of Nowa. It is an honor to meet the Sixth Judge."

Hau Lin replies formally, 

"No, it is my honor to meet one of the veterans of the Morim Alliance. I heard many stories about you from my father when I was young."

Zong laughs and says, "Haha, it is my honor to be remembered by the head of the Namjung family, Green Flame." ."

A girl who looks a little older than Hao Lin gets out of a red carriage. She has pure white hair and sharp, clear red eyes. She is wearing a red dress with white lines and has a beautiful face. She approaches Fan and the others and says politely,

"I am happy to see my friend's talented brother, Hao Lin. My name is Sina Nowa, the second daughter of the Nowa family. It is an honor to meet the active members of the court."

Everyone greets Sina, then Tin Tin continues, 

"If you are going to the family's city, how about riding with me to bring back memories of the past?"

Hao Lin and Fan agree to ride in Tin Tin's carriage and set off for the gate. 

On the way, as the carriages moved, Zong's guard thought deeply 

(So this is the sixth judge of the court, Hao Lin Namjung, who was once the greatest talent of his generation. It's clear that the aura around him is not normal. Even I wouldn't be enough to deal with him... But the person next to him didn't have a shred of energy, and that's what makes me wary of him. Even children have some energy... Hmm, maybe I'm delusional.)

After they arrived at the gate, nicknamed the Dragon Gate, which was a huge green gate surrounded by guards and strong black iron chains 

Carts were waiting to take their turn and enter. 

Namjoong and Nowa's cart was brought forward because they were VIPs. 

As the carts drove through the city, they were immersed in scenes from the window, with people passing by and warriors with Namjoong's emblem moving their swords. 

Two carriages stopped in front of a huge house, which was Namjoong's main residence. 

Van, Haolin, and Tin Tin got out of the carriages, as did Nowa's daughter. 

They were surprised to see the head of the family and his wife, along with some leaders and many guards, welcoming them at the gate. 

Smiles spread across their faces until everyone had exited the carriage. Namjoong Ling looked at her children, who had returned after a long absence, then looked at her husband and said 

"They've really grown up, my dear...!" "

She saw her husband's pale face as he looked fearfully and cautiously at the man walking towards them

and thought to himself 

"Impossible! ... What is the court ruler doing here ...?!"
