Jin Qi was no stranger to the location of the Medicinal Kitchen, so there was no need for him to lead the way. Therefore, this time there weren't four Megrez Peak disciples leading the way, but the four Mizar Peak Secret Envoys still tailed behind.
After taking a few steps, Jin Qi stopped and turned around to look at the four people.
The duties of the Mizar Peak's Dark Envoy might not be clear to normal students, but as the head disciple of the seven peaks, Jin Qi naturally knew. Most of the Dark Agents carried out secret missions that involved a wide range of tasks. It could be said that there was no matter in which the Dark Agents were absolutely forbidden from interfering. Anything that a Dark Wielder interfered with usually meant serious consequences.
This time, three Megrez Peak students that were ranked at the top of the Seven Star Proclamation were directly killed on Megrez Peak, and the situation was naturally extremely serious. Jin Qi wasn't the slightest bit surprised that there was a Phantom Emissary interfering. It was just that these four Dark Enforcers kept staring at him, which gave him a different feeling.
He stopped, and so did the other four.
He looked at the four of them, and they looked back at him.
The black masks covered their faces, and their eyes did not reveal any other emotions. They just stood there quietly, waiting for Jin Qi to make his move.
Jin Qi didn't say anything because he knew it would be useless. The position of the head disciple of the seven peaks was extremely high. Even if he wasn't a student of Megrez Peak, he would most likely give him some face. But the Phantom Envoys were the absolute exception. This team only obeyed the orders of Kai Yang Peak Scholar Guo Wu Shu. Not to mention Jin Qi, even the Megrez Star Chen Jiu, they would at most maintain a superficial respect, and wouldn't have any thoughts of obeying orders.
Therefore, even though Jin Qi had doubts in his heart, he only took a look and didn't ask anything, because he knew that the answer he would get would only be four words: Following orders.
After he stopped for a while, he continued walking. Lu Ping and Zi Mu could only follow him. Behind them, the four Phantom Envoys continued walking at a steady pace.
Of course, Lu Ping and Zi Mu could feel the unusual atmosphere.
"This is. Are you monitoring him? "Lu Ping asked.
Jin Qi's heart sank slightly. He had such doubts since a long time ago. Now that even the newbie kid could see through it, it seemed that the other party's intentions were quite obvious.
As for who the target of surveillance was … Who needs to say it? With just Lu Ping and Zi Mu, there was no need to send four Secret Envoys to monitor them.
Had he also become a suspect?
Jin Qi could only come up with such a conclusion based on what had happened. Thinking back to the previous formation that had the intention of pincer attack, it turned out that it wasn't to attack him. Instead, she was guarding against him.
Jin Qi smiled bitterly.
Of course, he wouldn't be too happy about being monitored. However, the situation was serious, so he couldn't be wrong to be more cautious. The Dark Enforcer had always been merciless. As a matter of fact, he, Jin Qi, was deeply involved in this matter. Becoming the target of suspicion was the usual style of the Phantom Envoys.
Thinking of this, Jin Qi felt relieved. Compared to this, he was even more unwilling to see the four of them being bribed to betray the North Style Academy.
So he stopped again. Turn back.
"Thank you for your hard work," he said. To the people who suspected and monitored him, he actually said these three words.
The four Dark Enforcers who didn't have the slightest reaction were slightly startled this time. Obviously, they didn't expect Jin Qi to say this to them.
After hesitating for about half a second, one of them nodded towards Jin Qi. In the eyes of the four, there was a look of respect. Because of Jin Qi's understanding of them.
Jin Qi immediately nodded and turned around. He continued to walk towards the direction of the Medicinal Kitchen. This time, he didn't have any other thoughts in his mind. His footsteps also became much faster.
Lu Ping and Zi Mu who were following him had a different mentality.
Zi Mu thought that Jin Qi's greeting was ridicule. And Lu Ping, who also had the style of dealing with matters and not with people, understood the meaning of Jin Qi's words in a second. He couldn't help but admire Jin Qi. This was really a very reasonable person.
As the medicinal fragrance became more and more intense, the Medicinal Kitchen was right in front of them. The four Dark Enforcers who had been following them all the way stopped at this moment. They slightly bowed towards Jin Qi, and without waiting for Jin Qi's reply, turned around and went back along the mountain path. But right in front of the three of them, there was already a Megrez Peak student coming up to greet them.
"Senior brother Jin Qi." The person who walked up with quick steps greeted.
"Where's the corpse?" Jin Qi went straight to the point.
"This way." That student immediately led the way, bringing the three of them over. Lu Ping and Zi Mu looked around, and discovered that today's Medicinal Kitchen was greatly different from yesterday. Not to mention that there were many more people, and many of them weren't even wearing the uniform of Megrez Peak. They were obviously students from other peaks. They looked disorderly, but in reality they were very orderly distributed within the entire area of the Medicinal Kitchen, controlling the scene to a high degree.
But Jin Qi didn't look sideways at all, and followed the student leading the way, arriving at the pharmaceutical workshop.
If the pharmaceutical workshop was said to be open to the outside world and interact with the students and teachers of other academies, then the pharmaceutical workshop was an absolute forbidden area. The various kinds of medicines that were made here weren't only limited to the level of medicines used to treat illnesses and people. Various kinds of medicines that could affect the power of the soul, those were the important resources that cultivators valued even more. This place naturally couldn't be easily entered and exited.
But the two new students, Lu Ping and Zi Mu, tailing behind Jin Qi, were unobstructed all the way. Even the whole time, no one even came to ask about their origins, and just like that they were brought all the way to the pharmaceutical workshop's storehouse.
All kinds of medicines, even the North Style Academy's unique medicines, were all stored here after being made by the pharmaceutical workshop. This was absolutely not a resource that anyone could privately allocate. Even the Megrez Peak academician Chen Jiu was only in charge of guarding these medicines, and didn't have the authority to arbitrarily allocate them.
The corpse was actually brought here?
What kind of special medicine was needed to examine the corpse?
While Jin Qi was calculating in his mind, the storehouse's main door had already been pushed open by the student leading the way. Although it was called a storehouse, in reality it was a cave in the mountain wall. This main door was the only entrance. If one wanted to enter from other places, they would have to dig through Megrez Peak. The North Style Academy's strict defense of this pharmaceutical workshop's storehouse could be seen at a glance.
The student leading the way continued to walk at the very front. The cave deep within the mountain should have been pitch-black and lightless, but after applying the Overcharge Soul's custom-made ability "Circulating Light", there was always sufficient light in the cave.
The party walked very deep, until the view before them suddenly widened.
This was the place where the Medicine Hall usually distributed medicinal ingredients. Jin Qi came here for other reasons, and this was also the first time.
Upon entering the great hall, he first saw his teacher Chen Jiu, then Alioth Star's Li Yaotian, Mizar Peak's head disciple Bai Li.
There was also Yan Ge.
