A few days ago was a very vague time. For the North Style Academy, for Lu Ping, for Yan Ge, for many people, many things had happened in these few days.
The discovery of the seventh storehouse being robbed was a few days ago.
The discovery of the three Megrez Peak students being killed was a few days ago.
The discovery of the wrong medicine in the pharmacy was also a few days ago.
When Lu Ping said a few days ago, which time was it? Yan Ge asked very carefully and very seriously.
"It was the night when the newcomers attracted the stars into their lives." Lu Ping said.
"Oh, that day." Yan Ge seemed to be calculating the date after getting the answer. That night, two newcomers attracted the stars into their lives and triggered their ability. A star fell and half of the observatory collapsed. But not long after, such a big thing happened in the Medicinal Kitchen. The matter at the observatory was not worth looking at.
But Yan Ge still thought carefully, then said: "The more specific the time, the better."
The day was already confirmed. But there were still 24 hours in a day, 1440 minutes. The information in the memory could be different every minute and every second.
"This … …" Lu Ping was a little hesitant. To tell the truth, he didn't pay attention to the exact time, so he couldn't answer.
"Do you want to recall what happened when the star fell?" Lin Tianbiao suddenly asked. This wasn't hard to guess. He could even guess the reason why Lu Ping wanted to recall that period of time. The star fell was aimed at Lu Ping. Although he wasn't injured, he lost his soul power. He obviously wanted to retrieve his soul power, so he tried his best to recall all the details of that moment.
Lu Ping's answer confirmed Lin Tianbiao's conjecture.
"Yes." He nodded. "From the star fell until after, it took about half an hour."
After the star fell, Guo Wu Shu instantly rushed over and brought him away. Then what happened on Mizar Peak, to the time when the Phantom Envoy made a move against him and realized he couldn't use his soul power, was about half an hour.
"The star fell happened at about 9: 15 at night." Lu Ping couldn't remember the time clearly. Lin Tianbiao gave the answer. In fact, there were many rookies who remembered this time. This was because the moment the stars fell, everyone's Star Attraction would end, regardless of whether they completed it or not. Lin Tianbiao was one of them, which made him feel particularly regretful. He was the one who had triggered the Milky Way Nine Skies phenomenon, but all his efforts had come to naught because of such an accident.
However, Lin Tianbiao himself did not reveal any emotions when he mentioned the moment that everyone felt sorry for him. He only accurately stated the time.
"Can I?" Lu Ping looked at Yan Ge.
"There shouldn't be too much of a problem," Yan Ge said after thinking about it. "But I also need to make some preparations. How about this, come back here before 9: 15 p.m. "
"Do you need help?" Lu Ping asked.
"There's nothing you can do." Yan Ge smiled. "If you can come on time and let us start at 9: 15 sharp, you can save us a lot of trouble."
"Okay, I will be punctual." Lu Ping nodded and said goodbye to the two of them. Lin Tianbiao also wanted to look for Yan Ge, but he had not said anything yet. Naturally, he would not leave with him.
"I won't see you out," Yan Ge said. He pointed at the air a few times, and a separate boundary suddenly appeared around Lu Ping, isolating him from the medicinal fog.
"Don't walk too slowly," Yan Ge smiled at Lu Ping.
"Thank you," Lu Ping thanked him again, turned around and left. The boundary protected him just like that. Yan Ge and Zi Mu looked at his disappearing figure, and then there was no one else beside him. Yan Ge's expression did not change, but Lin Tianbiao's expression and behavior immediately changed slightly. He, who was originally standing beside Yan Ge, naturally took half a step back, and his hands hung straight by his side. He nodded his head slightly, and his respectful look was as perfect as any of Lin Tianbiao's behavior. From the perspective of a fellow disciple in the academy, such respect was a little too much. But if it was the identity of a prince or a retainer. This kind of attitude was just right.
Yan Ge obviously noticed the subtle change in Lin Tianbiao, but he did not say anything. After a slight smile, he walked past Lin Tianbiao's side.
"Come with me," he said.
"Yes." Lin Tianbiao bowed slightly, and walked at a balanced pace, maintaining a distance of half a step. He followed behind Yan Ge's body.
The two of them walked deeper into the forest, and the medicinal fog became thicker. If not for the boundary created by Yan Ge, they would have reached the point where they could not even see their own fingers. Lin Tianbiao heard voices coming from the side of the spring, but even though he was in the realm of Breakthrough Spirit, he could not see the scene over there clearly.
At this moment, Yan Ge stopped, turned around, and looked at Lin Tianbiao, who immediately stopped. After he turned around, he immediately took a few steps back.
"Regarding this Lu Ping, how much do you know?" Yan Ge asked.
"Not much." As Lin Tianbiao spoke, he told him some information about Lu Ping that he had heard from other people. Most of it was from the students from Xuan Jun Empire, and some of Lu Ping's actions.
This wasn't a secret, and it was just Lu Ping's deeds that could be easily inquired about. And from these people's retelling, there was a lot of exaggeration in the content, but Yan Ge did not interrupt, and only listened quietly.
"That's it." Lin Tianbiao finally finished.
"Seems like you really don't know his background," Yan Ge said.
Lin Tianbiao was slightly startled. Yan Ge's words seemed to be hinting at something.
"Should I know?" Lin Tianbiao asked curiously.
Yan Ge smiled and did not answer, but changed the question, "Do you know what your brother is doing?"
"I'm not very clear about the specifics," Lin Tianbiao said.
"You haven't seen each other for a long time, right?" Yan Ge said.
"Yes," Lin Tianbiao nodded. His brother was the eldest son of the Lin family, Lin Tianyi, and he was three years older than Lin Tianbiao. Three years ago, after he left home without a word, Lin Tianbiao had never seen him again. He only knew from his father, the head of the Lin family, Lin Zhiyuan, what mission his brother had received. As for the specifics, he did not tell him again. In the past three years, no one would mention this matter, until today, at this time, Yan Ge suddenly talked about his brother, Lin Tianyi.
"Maybe you will see each other soon," Yan Ge said.
"Because of Lu Ping?" Lin Tianbiao was a little surprised. He had never thought that this young man who appeared by chance would be related to his brother who had been missing for three years. But Yan Ge talked about his brother from Lu Ping's situation, how could there be no relationship between the two?
"You don't need to know too much for now," Yan Ge smiled.
This Lu Ping, is he also one of us?
A question mark was drawn in Lin Tianbiao's heart, but Yan Ge had already said that he didn't need to know too much, so he didn't ask this question again. He maintained his calm, and waited for Yan Ge's further arrangements.
"First prepare for Lu Ping's matter at night, don't say anything unnecessary. You have eyes, "Yan Ge said.
"Understood," Lin Tianbiao nodded. He knew that because Yan Ge was related to the recent big matter, he was under house arrest on Megrez Peak. But because he didn't show any intention of leaving, and took the initiative to help here, there weren't any unpleasant scenes. But the academy didn't relax its surveillance on him because of this. He, the person related to the matter, as well as all the students of Megrez Peak, were actually all under surveillance.
Being suspected like this, although it made people unhappy, but for such a big matter like the seventh storehouse of the pharmacy being robbed, even Megrez Star Chen Jiu had nothing to say, and even felt angry about it. Everyone could only silently endure, hoping to quickly find the culprit. But after a few days, there was no obvious progress in the matter. Now, all the parties were still actively looking for a breakthrough. The empty rooms in the Medicinal Kitchen that weren't usually used, had now become temporary prison cells or interrogation rooms.
Megrez Peak's head disciple Jin Qi was still locked up, Li Yaotian was currently interrogating his own disciple Yan Zhen, and in another empty room nearby, Zi Mu who was brought back by Bai Li was locked up here. After being starved for lunch, Bai Li reappeared, and together with him was Alioth Peak's head disciple Chen Chu.
"Senior Brother Chen Chu!" Zi Mu was slightly excited when he saw Chen Chu, this head disciple was much more amiable to him.
Chen Chu smiled and nodded, but before he could open his mouth to say anything, a Phantom Emissary hurriedly came to Bai Li's side. After slightly gesturing, Bai Li glanced at Chen Chu and said "wait a moment", then followed the Phantom Emissary out of the room.
"Really heartless! I don't know what kind of information it is, to actually not even let me share it. "Chen Chu shook his head, sighing with emotion. Zi Mu smiled apologetically, but in his heart, he was still anxious and fearful. He was just a nobody who knew nothing, yet he was being manipulated in such a big matter. He didn't have the slightest grasp on what kind of fate he would be in the future, and he couldn't even find a direction to look forward to.
"How's that kid these few days?" Chen Chu chatted with him, but it was to inquire about Lu Ping's situation.
"He's … nothing much." Zi Mu thought for a while, it was really difficult to describe Lu Ping's situation, because it was really too ordinary, there was simply nothing to say.
"Has his soul power recovered?" Chen Chu asked.
"Not yet." Zi Mu said.
"You have a good relationship with him, do you know what realm he is in?" Chen Chu asked.
"I'm not sure." Zi Mu shook his head. In reality, Lu Ping had told him before, but he treated it as a joke, and didn't take it to heart at all. The "I don't know" that he revealed was naturally extremely real. Chen Chu who had activated "Insight" did not sense anything wrong with Zi Mu's body.
Thus, he didn't ask any more questions. This made Zi Mu heave a sigh of relief. He knew that Chen Chu was really just chatting with him for a while, and the questions he asked were just to satisfy his personal curiosity. With regards to this matter, Chen Chu only felt that it was troublesome. He really didn't want to participate, but as the head disciple of Alioth Peak, he had to fulfill his duty. Thus, Bai Li invited him to come and test Zi Mu's lie, and he came. In the end, Bai Li turned around and ran outside to whisper, which made Chen Chu feel rather bored.
"Are you done?" He couldn't help but knock on the table twice, and shouted towards the outside of the room.
