Silence!
The moment he received the news, this was the first thought that came to Jin Qi's mind.
The disciple who was on duty last night was the biggest suspect for tampering with the medicine book. This suspicion was based on the suspicion of Yan Ge. If Yan Ge was caught changing medicine, and the disciple made a temporary arrangement to cover up Yan Ge, then there was no one else but this disciple who did it.
But the problem was that Yan Ge, although Jin Qi also considered some suspicious backgrounds, in this case, Yan Ge's behavior seriously lacked the persuasiveness to be suspected. First of all, the change of Green Thorn to Thistle had little effect on this medicine. Moreover, this medicine was prescribed to Huo Ying, who was going to die soon. Was there a need to deliberately harm him?
Therefore, Jin Qi specially came to visit Huo Ying to confirm whether there was anything wrong with Yan Ge. If there was something wrong with Yan Ge, then the suspicion of the disciple who was on duty last night could be pinpointed. This would be an accurate breakthrough.
Therefore, Jin Qi had been calm and collected. He didn't want others to find out that he had already noticed something. According to the tampered medicine book, he expelled all the disciples who were on duty for three days from the medicinal kitchen, which was also to make the best of the mistake. He regarded the incident as a mistake of the medicinal kitchen.
Then he used the teaching day to come to Seven Stars Valley, and contacted Lu Ping, Zi Mu, and Huo Ying in the Fifth Academy. Everything seemed to be very reasonable. Yesterday, there was a small accident because he was filling medicine for Huo Ying. So today, he came to Seven Stars Valley to teach the new disciples, and also to visit the former first disciple of Yuheng Peak. It was very reasonable, wasn't it?
Therefore, Jin Qi once felt that he was really lucky to exchange the teaching day with Alkaid Peak. Otherwise, today's visit would inevitably be a little deliberate.
Yes, it was just a little deliberate. Even Jin Qi carefully avoided it. He had done it very carefully, but the other party's reaction was so arrogant and domineering. In the case that the changing of medicine had been disguised as a mistake of the medicinal kitchen, they still chose to kill people. Moreover, this killing actually killed all three disciples. Could it be that these three people were all roped in? Was this a show of force? Or were they trying to confuse something? Wouldn't the power that had been operating in secret be discovered?
Jin Qi really didn't understand.
It was only from the fact that the pharmacopoeia had been altered that he had noticed something amiss. They hadn't even locked on to the real suspect, but the other party had already begun to kill him with great fanfare. This, he really couldn't understand.
"What happened?" asked Lu Ping and the other two. After receiving the paper pigeon, Jin Qi seemed to have changed into a different person. His expression was very scary. They all guessed that something big must have happened.
"You two, follow me," Jin Qi said to Lu Ping and Zi Mu.
"Both of us?"
"Yes." Jin Qi nodded. Someone had died, and it was on Megrez Peak. This was no small matter. Just the fact that he could only kill three disciples of the Medicinal Kitchen was enough to shake the entire Big Dou Mountain. The Megrez Peak's Medicinal Kitchen was a crucial department, and disciples that were able to enter there would absolutely not have weak strength. To be able to kill them without anyone noticing, the strength of the person who did it must be one of the few in the North Style Academy. This matter would definitely be sorted out from the beginning. Lu Ping and Zi Mu were also part of the people involved, so they would definitely be called. Hence, Jin Qi simply brought the two of them along.
"What happened?" After leaving the Fifth Academy, After leaving the five courtyards, Lu Ping asked again.
"Don't worry, I don't want you to do anything, I probably just want to ask a few things," Jin Qi said.
"About last night?" Lu Ping asked.
"Yes."
"What exactly … …"
"The three disciples that I expelled from the Medicinal Kitchen last night were killed." Jin Qi didn't conceal it, because there was no need. This matter would definitely not be concealed, and the entire North Style Academy would definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. This was precisely the reason why he couldn't understand the intentions of the other party. They had always been operating in the dark. Why couldn't they keep their composure this time, and actually completely exposed their existence? Wasn't this putting themselves on a fire to roast?
"This is, were they silenced?" Zi Mu said in astonishment. Overturn the North Style Academy? It seemed like it really wasn't an alarmist talk. The other party actually dared to kill people on Megrez Peak. He had killed three of them at once.
"Perhaps." Jin Qi replied like this. The reason of silencing people seemed too stupid to him. There was definitely another plot.
Right now, Lu Ping and Zi Mu didn't even know about the tampering of the medicine book, so they naturally couldn't ask too much. Jin Qi also didn't have the mood to talk too much with these two. Now that the situation had reached this stage, these two newcomers were really insignificant. They were nothing more than the parties involved.
They quickly arrived at Megrez Peak. There were actually already Megrez disciples waiting at the foot of the mountain. Seeing Jin Qi coming over, the four Megrez disciples immediately came up to welcome him.
"Senior brother Jin Qi." The four came up to greet him, their expressions grave.
But what Jin Qi saw was not only the four of them. The ones who came up to greet him were four people, and the ones who didn't move, were still four people. Black clothed, masked, these were the Mizar Peak's secret envoys.
As expected, this matter wouldn't be dealt with easily. Seeing the Mizar Peak's secret envoys all go out, Jin Qi was not surprised. After nodding to the four who came up to greet him, he immediately asked: "Where?"
"Follow us!" The four said, and led the way at the front. Jin Qi, Lu Ping and Zi Mu were in the middle. After walking up the mountain path, the four secret envoys followed behind, but didn't come up to speak.
Walking in the middle, Lu Ping looked at the setup in front and behind, and frowned slightly. He and Su Tang escaped from the organization, and took refuge in Zhenfeng College. The two who set survival as their goal, were most worried about being hunted down by the organization, so they were abnormally sensitive to some situations. Escaping from Canyon Peak City all the way to North Style Academy, the actual combat had strengthened Lu Ping's qualities in this area. Seeing the four in front and four at the back, he felt that there was a pincer attack.
However, he couldn't even use his soul power now, and even if he discovered the situation, he wouldn't be able to react. He could only remind the two beside him.
"Are they guarding against us?" Lu Ping said.
Jin Qi had already noticed this detail, but he still couldn't be sure of the other party's intentions. But since he already knew that there was such an infiltrating force, he naturally wouldn't be stingy with the worst guess, and had already secretly prepared for it. But unexpectedly, Lu Ping actually pointed it out.
This time, Jin Qi couldn't pretend to be ignorant even if he wanted to. When the four people in front heard Lu Ping's words, they all stopped and turned their heads, looking a little embarrassed. Just as they were about to speak, it was Jin Qi who spoke first: "The situation is urgent, everyone's emotions are unavoidably nervous, but you are quite sensitive."
His words were directed at Lu Ping, and Lu Ping didn't say anything after hearing it. One of the four scratched his head awkwardly: "We've let Senior Jin Qi see a joke."
"Let's go." Jin Qi waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind, but he glanced at Lu Ping from the corner of his eyes. He wanted to signal this honest guy to stop talking. Even if the other party really had a problem, wouldn't you be alerting the enemy by doing this?
In the end, Lu Ping was walking seriously at this moment, his eyes looking straight ahead, completely not noticing Jin Qi's signal. Jin Qi couldn't keep glancing at him, could he?
Oh my, this kid, did he really believe my perfunctory explanation just now? Jin Qi was speechless as he thought.
