He had answered many people's questions before. Lu Ping didn't plan to tell Bai Li the truth. He answered him like he would most people, "Something went wrong."
"In the current situation, any concealment will not do you any good." Bai Li said coldly. Lu Ping's vague answer obviously did not satisfy Bai Li. In such an important matter, any problems that could not be clearly explained would be seen as suspicious by him. Lu Ping's loss of courage, could it be related to changing medicine, murder, and the theft of the seventh storehouse? Bai Li's mind was already quickly thinking of the possible relationships between all these.
Lu Ping only smiled, and did not pay any attention. He was incomparably clear that he had nothing to do with these matters, and was completely unaffected by Bai Li's warning. Zi Mu, who was at the side, was rather anxious for him.
Lu Ping's indifferent attitude made Bai Li somewhat unhappy. Their Mizar Peak had a secret team like the Secret Envoys, and had no lack of methods to beat people. But towards Lu Ping, Bai Li could not be too overboard. Because this was a person that his teacher, who had not left Mizar Peak for many years, had personally brought back to Mizar Peak. Just based on this, Bai Li could conclude that the two had some sort of relationship, and even kept his mouth shut about him, the head disciple.
"You go out first." He could not do anything to Lu Ping, and Soul Severing was also of no use. In the end, he could only let Lu Ping leave. Bai Li, who had reached this step, was more or less in a sorry state, and this caused Zi Mu to be extremely shocked.
Lu Ping nodded, and left the room. After waiting outside for a short while, Bai Li and Zi Mu also followed him out.
Towards Zi Mu, Bai Li also asked the same set of questions. After comparing it with Yan Ge and Lu Ping's narration, there were still no suspicious points. Bai Li, who had gained nothing, could be imagined how he felt.
He led the two back to the medicinal shop, and in a short time, there were already quite a few people gathered here. In front of Li Yaotian stood a few of his Alioth Peak disciples, currently listening to Li Yaotian's instructions on how to set up the medicinal kitchen area. Apart from this, there were also quite a few disciples from the other seven peaks, shuttling back and forth, their faces grave. The medicine house's seventh storehouse being robbed wasn't just a matter of Megrez Peak. This was a big matter for the entire North Style Academy. Li Yaotian left in a hurry after instructing his students. Another academician, Chen Jiu. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Lu Ping and the others.
Li Yaotian had been summoned to discuss this matter. However, Chen Jiu, who was also one of the seven academicians, was left out. He knew clearly in his heart that everyone on Megrez Peak, including him, was unable to completely escape suspicion. The Medicinal Kitchen that had always been guarded by their Megrez Peak disciples was now freely entered and exited by the disciples of the other six peaks. Instead, every single action of their Megrez Peak students was secretly being watched. Not putting them under house arrest was already giving them a lot of leeway. Of course, they could not rule out the possibility that they were secretly monitoring their movements to find clues.
Chen Jiu wasn't in the mood to argue with others. However, when he faced Bai Li, everyone could see that he was unhappy.
"Are you done with people?" he asked, glaring at Bai Li.
"What are your orders, Academician?" Bai Li's reply was still very standard.
"Give them to me when you're done." Chen Jiu said.
"Oh?" Bai Li was a little puzzled.
"What 'oh', I also want to find these two brats to ask, is that alright?" Chen Jiu said.
"Go ahead." Bai Li stepped to the side. It could be seen that he was still in the right. Previously he had a fierce argument with Chen Jiu, but he wouldn't nitpick a reasonable request for no reason.
However, this kind of attitude didn't make Chen Jiu feel very satisfied. He glared fiercely at Chen Jiu again, then said to Lu Ping and Zi Mu: "You two follow me."
"Where to now?" Lu Ping asked. Only he dared to say such slightly impatient words. Like Zi Mu, first the head disciple of the seven peaks, then the seven academicians. This kind of continuous interrogation made him nervous to death. How would he dare to not cooperate?
"You talk too much, follow me." Chen Jiu glared at Lu Ping.
Helplessly, the two could only follow Chen Jiu. However, this time they didn't go to the single room like before. Chen Jiu led the two, and actually walked out from the only passageway in and out of the medicinal workshop and the seventh storehouse.
The scenery of the medicinal kitchen was as gorgeous as before, and the medicinal fragrance that made people feel relaxed and happy still wafted in the air. However, not many people were in the mood to care about this.
Chen Jiu took a glance around. Just like the belly of the mountain. The people who were busy here were all disciples from the other six peaks. Although the Megrez Peak disciples were mixed among them, they were all at a loss and didn't know what to do. Seeing Chen Jiu suddenly come out from the door of the medicinal workshop, all of them immediately found their backbone. They quickly gathered over. But at the same time it also attracted a lot of different gazes.
Chen Jiu didn't pay attention to these. Having just walked out from the belly of the mountain, he closed his eyes and enjoyed the afternoon sunlight for three seconds. When he opened his eyes again, there were already a few more disciples of his Megrez Peak in front of him. Some were looking at him, and some were sizing up Lu Ping and Zi Mu behind him.
"Motherf * cker." Chen Jiu suddenly cursed, attracting even more attention. Some people didn't look, but their ears perked up towards Chen Jiu.
"Your Eldest Senior Brother is under house arrest now." Chen Jiu suddenly spoke, as if he was speaking to the few disciples in front of him, but everyone who heard him only felt their ears buzz. This voice obviously carried the soul of a cry, and it wasn't only spoken to the few people in front of him, but it reverberated throughout the entire Megrez Peak.
"That idiot wanted to shoulder the entire matter by himself, extremely stupid." He continued.
"But why would he be so stupid?"
"Because a shameful traitor appeared in our Megrez Peak."
"One? Two? Or how many, I don't know. "
"But I dare say that on this day next year, the flowers of the medicinal kitchen will bloom even more brilliantly."
"Because no matter how many, all of you will become fertilizer for the flowers here."
Every single word of Chen Jiu's reverberated throughout the entire Megrez Peak, and everyone on the mountain heard his voice.
The few disciples in front of Chen Jiu seemed to be slightly excited, and had resolute expressions.
"Teacher, what should we do!"
"Academician, what should we do?"
Some of them were Chen Jiu's disciples, some weren't, and the way they addressed him was slightly different.
But no matter if it was his own disciples, or his own disciples' disciples, Chen Jiu only looked at them coldly at this moment.
The few of them quickly understood the meaning behind Chen Jiu's gaze.
Suspicion.
At this moment, there wasn't a single person on Megrez Peak that wasn't suspected.
"Academician, I didn't!"
"Teacher, you don't even trust me!?"
Voices of defense sounded out one by one, but Chen Jiu's expression didn't change. He shook his head, and looked behind him.
"The only people I can completely trust now are them." Chen Jiu said.
"Them?" The few of them looked behind Chen Jiu.
A piece of trash that didn't have the energy of the soul, a piece of trash with extremely weak strength.
