Lu Ping and Zi Mu had always been forgotten in a corner. They were brought here as the person in question, but from the beginning to the end, no one had asked them about their experiences. Lu Ping had interjected a few times, but after Chen Jiu had won his trust, he was treated as a troublemaker by the others.
Now that the situation had developed to this stage, the problem of the wrong medicine was no longer a small problem. It even made people feel a little horrified — how could such a small situation turn into such an earth-shattering event like the theft of the seventh storeroom of the pharmacy?
In the end, after such a big event, Bai Li's attention returned to the two forgotten newcomers.
"Follow me." He said to the two of them.
"It wasn't me …" Zi Mu, who was flustered, blurted out this sentence without thinking.
"You wish." In such a serious situation, Bai Li, who did not like to joke, laughed out of anger at Zi Mu's reply. Newcomers nowadays, all of them really felt good about themselves. With Zi Mu's strength, he did not even have the qualifications to be suspected in the theft of the seventh storeroom.
At this time, Zi Mu also reacted. His face turned purple, and he lowered his head, not daring to say anything else. He silently followed behind Bai Li with Lu Ping.
Lu Ping followed Bai Li while looking in Jin Qi's direction. Jin Qi coincidentally looked over, and when their eyes met, he actually squeezed out a smile.
Lu Ping nodded, and then followed Bai Li. This surprised Jin Qi. His smile did not have any special meaning, it was just his usual smile that made people feel more at ease. However, Lu Ping nodded at him, as if he was trying to say something.
What did that brat mean? Jin Qi pondered, but saw Yan Ge looking at the backs of Lu Ping and Zi Mu as they were being taken away, deep in thought. Then, he was surrounded by a few dark envoys. As a major suspect who had personally confessed, of course, he could not continue to stay in the same place as if nothing had happened. Furthermore, as the first disciple of the powerful Seventh Peak, he could not be distracted by normal supervision. The few Dark Enforcers that surrounded him had all brought their own methods. They wanted to limit Jin Qi's strength first.
Jin Qi did not resist. He allowed the other party to handcuff and shackle him, which could restrict his Soul Strength. The torture tools used were also of a relatively high grade. It was evident that the other party was wary of Jin Qi.
Chen Jiu, who saw all of this, frowned deeply. He wanted to flare up several times, but in the end, he held himself back.
With Jin Qi's strength, even in such a situation, he might be able to fight for a way out if he fought with his life on the line. However, he didn't. He easily confessed his crime, and was easily subdued.
Chen Jiu knew the reason why he did this. It was because he firmly believed that there was nothing wrong with Jin Qijue. So he did this because he wanted to limit this matter that could possibly involve the entire Megrez Peak to him as much as possible, and reduce the impact on Megrez Peak.
"Stupid disciple." Chen Jiu suddenly called out.
Jin Qi, who was being taken away by the Dark Enforcer, quickly stopped and turned around.
"Don't slack off for too long." Chen Jiu, who had always been slacking off and left all the matters of Megrez Peak to Jin Qi to handle, now spoke righteously to Jin Qi.
"Yes, Teacher." Jin Qi smiled. He knew that Chen Jiu had understood his intentions. Chen Jiu would work hard to uncover the true mastermind hiding behind the scenes.
Jin Qi was taken away by the Dark Enforcer, and Lu Ping and Zi Mu followed Bai Li to a private room.
In the room, there was a desk and a wooden chair. Bai Li bluntly sat on the only wooden chair, then stared at the two people separated by the desk and standing in front of him.
He didn't pay too much attention to Zi Mu, and his gaze very quickly fell on Lu Ping.
"You're Lu Ping." He said. He was the head disciple of Mizar Peak, and naturally knew that his teacher, Guo Wu Shu, had actually left Mizar Peak the day before yesterday, and executed his ability, World's End Near at Hand, to bring this newcomer back from Megrez Peak's Star Observatory. But even he, completely didn't know why Guo Wu Shu would do such a thing, and what relationship he had with Lu Ping. When Guo Wu Shu did these things, he completely didn't inform him, and when he asked afterwards, he didn't get any answers.
Bai Li had been the person in charge of Mizar Peak for many years, and thought that he had already obtained Guo Wu Shu's complete trust, and obtained absolute control over the Dark Enforcers. But on that night, he suddenly discovered that Guo Wu Shu still had secrets that he didn't want him to know, and his control over the Dark Enforcers was definitely not as firm as he imagined. When those fellows heard Guo Wu Shu's instructions, they immediately ignored his existence.
This Lu Ping, what exactly was his background?
Bai Li was really curious, more curious than anyone else.
"I'm Lu Ping." Lu Ping nodded, answering Bai Li, but immediately followed up with a question: "Who are you?"
Bai Li stared blankly, and immediately realised that the two brats in front of him probably didn't recognise him. They were just two newcomers, and no one in the pharmacy had thought of introducing them to people they didn't know.
"Mizar Peak, Bai Li." Bai Li had no choice but to introduce himself. He felt that this introduction was already enough. The name of the head disciple of the North Style Academy's Seven Peaks, even in the entire continent, who wouldn't have heard of him?
In the end, very quickly, he saw a blank and ignorant face in front of him. It was that Lu Ping that he cared a lot about, and expressed his doubt towards his name, using a questioning gaze to look at Zi Mu.
"Mizar Peak's head disciple." Zi Mu hurriedly informed Lu Ping. Apart from this, he had also heard many legends about Bai Li, but now that the main character was in front of him, it wasn't convenient to tell Lu Ping about it.
"Oh … …" Lu Ping immediately felt that Bai Li was much more pleasing to the eye. Because of Guo Youdao, he naturally felt a sense of closeness towards Mizar Peak. Even when he was tricked by someone when he passed by the foot of Mizar Peak, Guo Wu Shu still treated him strangely.
"I ask, you answer." As Bai Li spoke, he suddenly raised his hand, and a ray of light condensed from the power of the soul shot out from his hand, striking straight at Zi Mu.
"Zi Mu!" Lu Ping only had enough time to shout. He didn't have any soul power left, so it was impossible for him to react quickly. The light landed on Zi Mu's body and quickly disappeared. Lu Ping immediately saw Zi Mu's dumbstruck expression, but he didn't see anything unusual.
But immediately after, Zi Mu opened his mouth to say something, but no sound came out. Zi Mu was also stunned, and immediately opened his mouth again, but it was still the same. Zi Mu immediately panicked, and kept gesturing with his hands and feet. Lu Ping had already realized the situation, and looked towards Bai Li.
"Soul Slayer?" He said.
Zi Mu couldn't make a sound, nor could he hear anything. This was the situation after the Soul Slayer had severed the Soul Breaking Cry.
"That's right." Bai Li nodded, and immediately said, "It's not common to see students who can recognize the Soul Slayer. Usually, they are from the Dark Academy. "
As he spoke, Bai Li's gaze became colder.
