"What do you mean?" Lu Ping asked.
"This … I don't think I need to explain it to you," Bai Li said. He looked like he was making trouble out of nothing. However, Bai Li knew very well that he had already planned to interrogate the two of them separately before he came.
Chen Jiu's trap had caught Yan Zhen, but from what Yan Zhen had said, he was not the person they wanted to find. From this, Chen Jiu realized that someone might have secretly made use of Yan Zhen. However, Bai Li was suspicious of Lu Ping and Zi Mu.
One was in the Perceptive State, the other could not use Soul Power.
With their strength, they had accepted Chen Jiu's request without fear. Bai Li felt that their confidence and courage were suspicious. How could they not have realized the danger? And with their strength, did they think they had the ability to deal with danger?
In reality, the two of them had really met.
Yan Zhen, the disciple of Alioth Peak's Li Yaotian, had opened all four spirits, and was considered to be in the upper class of the Big Dipper School. But in the end, he had fled in panic. There was definitely something strange about this.
Li Yaotian would take care of Yan Zhen, but Bai Li did not want to let Lu Ping and Zi Mu go just like that. He wanted to interrogate the two separately. However, after the initial contact, he felt that Lu Ping was not easy to deal with. Furthermore, because of his relationship with his teacher, he had some misgivings. So he had a new idea. Take Zi Mu away for interrogation, but Lu Ping let him do what he wanted and secretly monitor his actions. Maybe he would find some clues.
Bai Li thought this way, so he did it. As for his attitude of not explaining, he could not tell Lu Ping about this plan, and he did not mind causing trouble for Lu Ping. In the process of investigating Lu Ping, he had learned that the boy had a fiery temper. At Alkaid Peak, he had dared to punch Zhou Chongan, who was far more powerful than him. If he caused trouble like this, Bai Li would have a reason to teach him a lesson.
"Alright." Unexpectedly, Lu Ping did not mind his lack of explanation at all. He just nodded his head and looked at Zi Mu. "Then, I will go back first."
"Oh," Zi Mu responded subconsciously, then watched as Lu Ping turned around and left calmly. Bai Li signaled with his eyes, and the two Phantom Envoys understood tacitly. When Lu Ping turned around the bend in the mountain, the two of them disappeared once again. Zi Mu, who was supposed to be taken away, ended up staying by Bai Li's side.
Bai Li stared at him. Zi Mu gulped nervously. He couldn't stand the silent atmosphere. He took the initiative to squeeze out a forced smile. "Why did Senior Brother Bai ask me to stay?"
"How much do you know about Lu Ping?" Bai Li asked.
Zi Mu heaved a sigh of relief. As expected, the other party was still more concerned about Lu Ping. He was just a small fry in the Perception realm. How much attention could it attract?
Zi Mu didn't know if he should be happy or disappointed. He only shook his head. "I don't know much."
"But you seem to be the closest person to him in the North Style Academy." Bai Li said.
"Only a few days." Zi Mu said. He didn't want to draw a clear line between him and Lu Ping. Everything he said was the truth. He had only known Lu Ping for a few days in the North Style Academy. Although the two were together, they didn't know much about each other.
"He isn't a talkative person." Bai Li said.
"But during the Newcomer's Trial, he disregarded the consequences and gave you a very important help." Bai Li said. He had already done a lot of research on Lu Ping and Zi Mu. The relationship between the two was one of the main points he paid attention to. After having some suspicions towards the two, Lu Ping's help towards Zi Mu during the Newcomer's Trial. This immediately became another point of suspicion in his eyes.
But when he heard this question, Zi Mu laughed.
"It's very important to me, but to him, it's just a slight effort." He would never forget the scene of the Newcomer's Trial. Lu Ping carried him on his shoulder again and again. He didn't abandon this stranger he met by chance. At first, he also felt it was inconceivable. But the reason Lu Ping gave him was this: a slight effort.
After understanding Lu Ping, Zi Mu immediately knew that this was not an excuse. This was Lu Ping's true intention. It was indeed because he didn't feel it was troublesome to help Zi Mu. Therefore, he decided to help.
Zi Mu didn't reject Lu Ping's help because of this. On the contrary, he admired Lu Ping's simple explanation.
"So that's how it is." Bai Li didn't ask too much. Because from the information he had, he was still unable to analyze the relationship between Lu Ping and Zi Mu.
Maybe he was wrong. Bai Li didn't completely rule out this possibility. But he wouldn't ignore any possibility. He would investigate any suspicious points. This was his style of doing things. From this point, his temperament was quite similar to Li Yaotian's.
"Senior Bai, do you have any other questions?" Zi Mu asked.
"Don't worry, in the next few days. In the next few days, I'll ask you again. "Bai Li said.
"Then I'll go back first." Zi Mu said goodbye to Bai Li.
"No, I didn't say you could go back." Bai Li said.
"Ah?"
Bai Li waved his hand again, and another Dark Envoy appeared out of nowhere.
"Bring him back to the Medicinal Kitchen." Bai Li only said this one sentence. The rest was conveyed through his eyes.
"Yes." The Dark Executioner nodded to receive his orders, and didn't even notify Zi Mu before raising his hand to grab hold of Zi Mu, then dragging him towards Megrez Peak. Zi Mu's eyes widened. But in the end, he didn't dare to resist.
Next, he just had to wait. Bai Li stood at the foot of the mountain. Looking at Zi Mu's figure being dragged away, and then looking at the direction Lu Ping left, he silently thought.
North Mountain New Courtyard, Courtyard Five.
When Lu Ping returned, it was almost noon. The courtyard was as cold and cheerless as usual. Huo Ying was lying on his bamboo chair as usual. He closed his eyes and swayed slightly. The bamboo chair made a rhythmic squeaking sound.
Lu Ping walked to his side. Huo Ying opened his eyes at the right time. He saw Lu Ping looking at him.
"What's the matter?" Huo Ying asked.
"It's like this." Lu Ping didn't beat around the bush. He immediately told Huo Ying about his newly discovered method of using the Ecstasy Lock.
"It can be done like this?" Huo Ying was surprised. As a custom-made superpower expert, he had never heard of this kind of thing. But thinking about it, no one had ever been able to control the power of the soul like Lu Ping did under the confinement of the Ecstasy Lock, he immediately felt relieved. If an ordinary cultivator broke through the confinement of the Ecstasy Lock, then they would completely destroy the customization. But Lu Ping successfully violated the customization rules without destroying the customization. This was unprecedented.
"Let's give it a try." Huo Ying raised a finger. He wanted to see it for himself.
"You won't vomit blood again, will you?" Lu Ping expressed his concern.
"I won't use so much force. I'm afraid you will vomit blood," Huo Ying said after glaring at him.
"Then let's do it." Lu Ping nodded.
Huo Ying concentrated. For him, whose physical condition was already very bad, controlling the power of the soul was not a very easy thing to do. But after interacting with Lu Ping, he always had a feeling of eagerness.
"Are you ready?" he asked.
"Yes." Lu Ping nodded.
Huo Ying waved his finger. A wave of power of the soul shot out from his finger toward Lu Ping.
