The following morning, at the Imperial Palace's Hall of Reception, the Confucian Sage Emperor's public trial panel arrived on time.
Ignoring Shen Zhao's advice, Liang Hao insisted that Zhang Yang take him to meet Kong Lian.
Perhaps his recent performance has made him a bit arrogant, and he is determined to use his own understanding to challenge the inescapable fate.
Shen Zhao didn't try to persuade him further. Since he wanted to get a beating, he was happy to have some peace and quiet and simply closed the door to start cultivating the Blood Brahma Dragon Sutra.
Along the way, Zhang Yang kept advising, "Senior brother, you don't need to say anything later, just leave it to me."
Upon hearing this, Liang Hao looked displeased: "What? You don't have confidence in my abilities?"
"I've already said it's not a matter of strength. Kong Lian is a senior feminist master. Do you even know what a feminist master is?"
"A mere female boxer is not to be trifled with? With my silver tongue, Liang Hao, I can definitely tear her to shreds."
"I hope so."
Zhang Yang clearly lacked confidence in Liang Hao's abilities.
Upon arriving at the Huibin Hall, Wu Yousheng was already waiting for a long time.
Upon seeing Liang Hao, they immediately greeted him warmly: "Immortal Master, you've finally arrived! The great masters of the Confucian Sage Sect have all come."
Zhang Yang glanced at the group of sect disciples dressed in Confucian robes inside the hall, gave Liang Hao a wink, and then went in first.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am late. Please forgive me."
Zhang Yang acted like a grandson in front of these Confucian sages and great figures, which made Liang Hao, who was standing to the side, extremely unhappy.
"Brother, why are you being so obsequious to them? You're disgracing my arbitration committee."
Zhang Yang quickly whispered a reminder: "Shh, senior brother, say less. This Confucian Sage Sect is not something our Public Tribunal can afford to offend. Just follow my lead."
Liang Hao, unable to contain his impatience, glanced around the hall.
As a result, when he saw two women standing at the table on his left, he instantly lost his composure.
"What are these two doing here? Who let them in!"
The two women Liang Hao was referring to were naturally Yin Jiao'e and Su Xuejiao.
Liang Hao would naturally not give a kind look to anyone who dared to treat Su Yunying badly.
Yin Jiao'e instinctively dodged a few times, and Su Xuejiao behind her also showed a trace of fear.
Last night, the two of them went to underground banks and finally managed to scrape together 300,000 spirit stones, which they then handed over to Kong Lian before they could follow him into the imperial city with a clear conscience.
Unexpectedly, they encountered Liang Hao, a fearsome opponent, so soon.
But soon, Kong Lian, who was sitting at the table, stood up and said, "You start by yelling at a woman. Don't you have any manners or qualities as a man?"
When out in public, a man needs to be polite and respectful. Don't act like a low-class man and let people talk behind your back.
Upon hearing this, Liang Hao saw that the man was looking at him with resentment, as if they had some deep-seated hatred between them.
"Are you crazy? I'm talking to those two bitches, what's it to you?"
"If anyone saw you yelling at two orphans and widows like that, they would all stop you. I urge you to apologize to them right away."
Liang Hao's temper flared up: "Apologize to them? Apologize to you the hell? Who do you think you are, daring to point fingers at me?"
"What a servile man! He has absolutely no manners whatsoever. The reason women look down on men is because of your character."
Judging from your appearance, you must be a loser in real life. I really don't know how you managed to sneak into this palace and stand here alongside a group of high-quality men like us.
"It's truly infuriating to think about. I'm ashamed to utter another word of nonsense from a lowly man like you who discriminates against women."
Liang Hao was trembling with anger and was about to retort when Zhang Yang stopped him: "Senior brother, calm down. This is Master Kong. We can't afford to offend him."
"So he's a seasoned feminist master? Wow, that's quite an eye-opener for me."
I thought Kong Lian was a woman, but it turns out she's a man. What the hell is this?
"Please calm down. We're here today to transfer your public trial qualification to you. Let's not cause any more trouble."
Suppressing his anger, Liang Haoqiang followed Zhang Yang to the table.
Unexpectedly, Kong Lian continued her madness, saying, "I don't want to sit with a tasteless, low-class man. Please kick him out immediately!"
The smell of him made me want to vomit; he had this overpowering masculine aura, like he thought he was something special.
He's basically just a lowly, good-for-nothing scoundrel who only knows how to bully women and has absolutely no skills of his own!
Wu Yousheng, standing to the side, immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Faced with this situation, he was caught in a dilemma.
One was his parents' brother, and the other was a Confucian sage, a senior figure. Neither of them could be offended by a mere emperor of the Wu Kingdom.
So he decisively chose to play dead and wait and see how the situation developed.
Humiliated like this, Liang Hao was filled with rage and could no longer hold back, yelling at Kong Lian, "Who the hell are you calling inferior? Are you tired of living?"
"Oh, you're not pretending anymore? Those guys are disgusting. I noticed you the moment you walked in."
"You reek of inferiority. Do you think someone like you deserves to sit with high-quality men like us?"
"I'm fucking baffled, where do you get the nerve to talk to me like that?"
"A man who doesn't know how to respect women is trash, low-class, and vulgar. Yes, don't doubt it, I'm talking about you!"
"Where the hell did I disrespect women? You'd better explain yourself clearly."
Kong Lian pointed to the mother and daughter and said slowly, "These two women have traveled a long way from Juzhou City to Daliang City to participate in the Southern Region Immortal Martial Arts Competition, which shows how much they value this competition we are holding."
Because they arrived a step too late, inns and restaurants throughout Daliang City were fully booked, leaving their family to endure the unbearable torment of cramped space in a shabby inn.
As men, shouldn't we lend a helping hand and show them some human compassion in times like these?
But you, without even knowing the facts, publicly insulted the mother and daughter, and you still have the nerve to say you respect women?
Judging from your behavior, you must have humiliated women quite a bit. I hope you stay single, because if your wife comes with you, she'll definitely regret her choice.
Your future children will also feel inferior and lose self-confidence because of your poor character as a father.
Liang Hao's mind went blank for a moment, and countless mathematical symbols appeared in his head.
He simply couldn't connect the two things—Yin Jiao'e and her daughter—with respect for women.
Even one's own future is dismissed as utterly worthless?
As a result, in that moment of distraction, Kong Lian thought he knew he was in the wrong and continued to press: "Do you know how a high-quality man who truly respects women should know?"
For example, I led them into the palace, settled them in their lodgings, and gave them plenty of warmth.
It's definitely not the kind of low-class person like you who insults them without any reason, starting off with such a servile attitude.
This inflicts even deeper wounds on their already fragile hearts. Do you understand, you lowly, servile man?
Upon hearing this, Liang Hao slammed his fist on the table and stood up abruptly: "This is absolutely outrageous! This is outrageous! Is the palace your home?"
"You think you can just let whoever you want live here? And have you even bothered to find out about these two bitches' backgrounds and identities? Why don't you ask me what grudge I have against them?"
"No matter how big the grudge, women should not be treated like this. It is already very difficult for women to be human, and how hard it is for them to survive in this patriarchal world."
Women of average looks and talent are destined to be nothing more than wives and mothers, spending their remaining years in loneliness.
Even those who are both talented and beautiful will eventually become playthings for men.
Can't you set an example for all men and choose to forgive them?
Why are you so vicious? Why do you have to drive them to their deaths?
"Do you intend to kill off all the women in the world before you're satisfied? What a vicious and disgusting loser, a scoundrel!"
Kong Lian's curses were forceful and resounding, and Liang Hao's face had turned ashen.
Wu Yousheng, Zhang Yang, and the rest of the jury members remained silent, none of them daring to utter a sound.
"Damn it, this is too much."
Liang Hao struggled to control his rage, pointing angrily at Kong Lian: "You'd better figure out what those two bitches did before you judge!"
I'm truly speechless. How can there be such a shameless person like you in this world?
"You're the kind of narrow-minded man. They're just women, a vulnerable group. Why won't you leave them alone? Why do you have to push them to the brink?"
Even if they really had a grudge against you in the past, putting aside the facts, as a man, you are not entirely without fault.
Ask yourself honestly, is your aggressive approach fair to them? Is it fair to women?
Do you have to push them to the brink of despair before you're satisfied?
How could you be so vicious, so despicable, so cold-blooded, so heartless!
Women live such miserable lives because of low-quality men like you.
So if you realize your mistake, please apologize to them immediately, or get out of here.
I disdain sitting or working with inferior men; it would only undermine my principles.
Liang Hao's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he trembled as he extended his finger.
"What? You still want to fight? You know you're in the wrong and want to kill me to silence me? That guy is disgusting."
Let me tell you, even if you really kill me, it won't change the fact that you're a scumbag who discriminates against women, the worst of the worst.
puff--
Unable to bear it any longer, Liang Hao spat out a spurt of blood, his eyes rolled back, and he lay flat on his back.
"Senior brother, are you alright?"
Zhang Yang quickly stepped forward to help Liang Hao up.
Liang Haoqiang mustered his strength and grabbed Zhang Yang's arm.
"A seasoned feminist is untouchable! Quickly, take me to Jingyang Palace and ask my elder brother to intervene, or I'll die with my eyes wide open in disbelief, ah..."
Watching Liang Hao being led out of the reception hall with a face full of resentment, Kong Lian smiled contentedly, then leisurely picked up her teacup and began to drink alone.
