A few black lines instantly appeared on Wei Yiyi's forehead.
Based on her understanding of Gu Ruoyun, she was not the kind of person who would be so bored as to research this type of pill?
However, what Wei Yiyi did not know was that Gu Ruoyun had never intended to research this type of pill. She had wanted to research another type of pill which could increase her power rapidly! However, due to the failure of her research, this failed product had appeared!
Of course, if the people of the First City were to find out that Gu Ruoyun could refine pills without using a pill formula, it would certainly cause a stir in the First City.
Regardless of whether she had succeeded or failed, at least she had managed to research a pill! Even those who were known as peerless geniuses in the First City could not compare to her talent!
...
At the Lan family home.
The old man was seated on the ground in the cultivation room. His eyes no longer displayed their initial benevolence. Instead, they were filled with a cold and sharp air.
"Lan Shao, did you really kill your younger brother and sister-in-law?"
Lan Shao shuddered violently when he sensed the raging flames in the old man's heart. "Father, I have been wrongly accused."
Gasp!
Just as he had spoken, Lan Shao's entire body shuddered. He felt as if his soul had been torn apart by a hand. He could not help but gasp from the pain and his face turned pale.
The old man did not notice the change in his expression. His elderly face remained calm as he replied icily, "Can you explain to me what you meant by what you had said earlier?"
"Father, I'm not sure either. I only felt that my mind had gone blank at the time and my words had not obeyed my commands."
What he had said was the truth.
He really did not know what had happened. At that moment, his mind had gone blank and had not obeyed his commands at all.
Therefore, when he said those words, the soul-tearing pain did not appear.
"I know." Suddenly, Lan Shao's eyes lit up and he exclaimed angrily, "The Medicine Manor must have done this! The Master of the Medicine Manor is a Pill Master so she must have other pills in her possession. Perhaps they had used those pills to control me so that I would say what they wanted to hear! Father, I'm really innocent. How could I possibly kill my own siblings and harm my own people? "
In the beginning, Lan Shao's body did not feel anything strange. However, towards the end, the soul-tearing pain appeared once again and he nearly moaned in pain.
Why?
Why was everything normal when he told the truth? The moment he wanted to lie, he would feel the pain of his soul being torn apart?
Lan Shao gritted his teeth at the thought of this and forced himself not to moan.
"Medicine Manor?" The old man fell silent. His voice was no longer as cold and distant as it had been in the beginning. "What's going on?"
"I don't know either." Hearing this, Lan Shao's stomach filled with grievances. "I only wanted to request an audience with Great Master Gu. I never thought that her subordinates would be such snobs. Not only did they look down on the Lan family, they even made the Lan family hand over half of their assets before they would help me pass the message."
Hiss!
Lan Shao's body was filled with intense pain once again. He trembled incessantly from the pain and his face turned as white as a sheet of paper.
As expected, he couldn't lie!
Once he told a lie, he would have to endure such pain.
But now, he could only endure it for the time being. He couldn't let his father discover anything unusual!
"Her subordinates want the Lan family to hand over half of their assets?" The old man lifted his head to look at Lan Shao. His eyes were filled with an indecipherable emotion.
