When Bai Li first realized that Jin Qi was a suspect, he was the one who showed the strongest hostility. But now, he sat in front of Jin Qi and listened to Jin Qi's views on the entire situation.
However, this did not mean that he would change his attitude towards Jin Qi. He was the commander of the Mizar Peak's Secret Emissaries. Being in this position, he was already used to abandoning his emotions to do things. He would never be as capricious as Chen Jiu, always trying to figure out problems from the perspective of the most malicious and terrible characters.
However, Jin Qi's analysis of the situation was far worse than he had expected.
Up until now, they didn't know who their opponent was, and they didn't know how powerful the other party was. However, just as Jin Qi analyzed, the other party already displayed the ambition of gradually nibbling away at the entire North Style Academy. Bai Li really couldn't believe that the North Style Academy had this kind of power hidden in the dark, and they, the dark enforcers, didn't even know about it. To a commander like him, this was a great humiliation. His heart was definitely not as calm as he appeared on the surface. Chen Chu's expression changed when he heard this.
"Is it that serious?" Chen Chu's appearance was much more proper than when he first entered the room. The theft of the seventh storehouse was a big matter to the entire North Style Academy. Everyone was very serious about this matter. Chen Chu was an important figure that could represent the forces of Alioth Peak, but his performance was not very active. His First Disciple had fallen into his hands because his Eldest Martial Brother, Huo Ying, had fallen seriously ill and retired. This was an opportunity that many people envied but could not get, but Chen Chu was quite annoyed.
Chen Chu yearned for a carefree life, but now that he had become the head disciple, he had to say goodbye to such a life. Chen Chu tried to object, but he could not disobey his master's orders. In the end, he could only force himself to be the second in command of Alioth Peak, and try his best to do his job well.
The Medicinal Kitchen was Megrez Peak's territory, and guarding the seven storehouses of the Medicinal Kitchen was Megrez Peak's responsibility. So in Chen Chu's eyes, the theft of the seven storehouses was an internal affair of Megrez Peak. If she wanted him to help, he would help. However, it would be difficult to get him to pay more attention.
Until this moment. After hearing Jin Qi's analysis, Chen Chu, who had been a little absent-minded, became much more serious. But there was a note of hope in his voice: he still hoped that things would not be so serious. He could continue to slack off!
"Perhaps my deduction is a little over the top, but I really hope that everyone can treat this matter with the utmost caution and strictest attitude. Changing medicine in the pharmacy, killing people on Megrez Peak, stealing medicine from the seven storehouses. To be able to do these things without leaving us with a single clue, there's no way he's an ordinary character. Don't be so busy, everyone. This whole development is based on a single incident — I mean Lu Ping's act of checking the medicine packets. You, me, him, or anybody else would not have done it. This kind of action, we are surprised, the other party is also surprised. However, under such a sudden change, the other party is still able to make such a coherent deployment. The other party's influence in the North Style Academy must be very deep. That's why they can order us around so easily. "
"What if? Why isn't he surprised? "Bai Li asked.
"Not surprised?" Jin Qi was slightly taken aback. If he wasn't surprised, then what did that mean? That meant that the other party had already expected this to happen. It was such an unexpected thing, yet they knew about it. What did that mean? This meant that Lu Ping, who did this, was related to them.
"What do you think of Lu Ping?" Bai Li immediately asked this question. This time, he didn't only ask Jin Qi, but also Chen Chu, because he knew that these two had dealt with Lu Ping before.
"That child … … doesn't have any schemes, simple and straightforward." Jin Qi said.
"I can't tell he's lying." Chen Chu said.
"Can you tell his realm?" Bai Li asked Chen Chu again.
Chen Chu slowly shook his head, furrowing his brows. He knew the meaning of Bai Li's question: His own insight. Since he couldn't even see through Lu Ping's realm, then it was logical that he couldn't grasp the changes in Lu Ping's emotions.
"That child's realm is indeed somewhat strange." Chen Chu said, "But he didn't avoid this point. When I asked him, he only clearly expressed that he didn't want to say. "
"Then what about Star Fall on the day of Drawing Stars into Fate? I think your Megrez Peak would have investigated this matter. "Bai Li looked at Jin Qi.
"We investigated, but there were no results. The Fated Star of Star Fall didn't leave behind any remnant soul power at the scene, so there's no way to investigate. We only understood a little about the situation from the name of the master of this Fated Star. As for the rest, maybe we'll know more if we ask Lu Ping. "Jin Qi said.
"Who is the master of this Fated Star?" Bai Li asked.
Jin Qi stared blankly, he was a bit surprised that Bai Li didn't know about this, but he quickly answered Bai Li.
"Guo Youdao." After he said this name, he paid attention to Bai Li's expression. Sure enough, he, who was always as calm as an ancient well, immediately had some changes after hearing this name that was extremely similar to his teacher's name.
"The dean of Zhenfeng College, Guo Youdao. He's also the one who recommended Lu Ping to enroll in the North Style Academy." Chen Chu said. He had also done some research on Lu Ping, and was already clear about these relatively basic situations. He had even heard of Zhai Feng Academy, a small and abandoned academy that had been razed to the ground, claiming to surpass the Big Four.
"This person is definitely from the North Style Academy, but the academy didn't manage to find any information related to him. There's another interesting thing. In the Black Army Empire's Gorge District, which is also the mountain region where Zhenfeng College is located, this Guo Youdao from the North Style Academy used the name of Black Tortoise Academy to establish this Zhenfeng College. " Chen Chu continued, "If you're interested in Lu Ping, you can easily find out about these things."
"I know." Bai Li nodded. He indeed already knew about these things that Chen Chu said, and he might even know more than Chen Chu. Moreover, the people he sent had not stopped digging into this Guo Youdao. However, the Fated Star that caused the Starfall was actually this person's Fated Star. This was something that Bai Li had just found out.
Just what was going on?
Bai Li, who was always shrewd, actually had a confused expression on his face. This was a very rare sight. Jin Qi, who was in such a situation, even glanced at Chen Chu because of this.
"There must be something going on with Lu Ping," Chen Chu said. "I can't guarantee that it's related to the current situation, but I feel that you should ask Academician Guo. Perhaps you'll find out more."
Bai Li didn't answer, but he felt helpless.
Unknown origin, unknown realm, and unexpected actions were the start of all this. In Bai Li's eyes, Lu Ping was full of suspicions. However, because of his teacher, Guo Wushu, he had always been cautious about Lu Ping's actions. If not for this, he would have already captured Lu Ping and brought him back to deal with him.
Perhaps, he should ask his teacher. Since it was involved in such a matter, his teacher couldn't just ignore it.
"I'll go ask," Bai Li suddenly said. He didn't need to express his stance to Jin Qi and Chen Chu. He only said this to strengthen his resolve.
"That would be for the best." Chen Chu nodded and said, "However, I still don't think there's anything wrong with this child."
"Me too," Jin Qi said.
"You yourself have a lot of problems now, okay?" Chen Chu glanced at Jin Qi from the corner of his eyes.
"The innocent are innocent." Jin Qi smiled, not panicking in the slightest.
"Why did I hear that you've already confessed?" Chen Chu said.
"If it comes to a certain point, I hope that I'll take responsibility for the entire matter." Jin Qi's expression suddenly became serious.
These words caused Chen Chu's face to immediately reveal an expression of admiration, because he understood Jin Qi's objective of doing this. If he took responsibility, then perhaps Megrez Peak wouldn't be cleansed like that again, and the enemy's objective of seizing the opportunity to infiltrate would naturally be unable to be realized. But his personal end would surely be extremely miserable.
Bai Li didn't express his stance at the side, nor did he reveal any emotion towards Jin Qi's decision to sacrifice himself. He listened to Jin Qi's opinion, but it didn't mean that he'd dispelled his suspicions towards Jin Qi. Bai Li just happened to be able to do such an illogical thing so neatly and clearly. He was listening to Jin Qi's opinion, but at the same time, he was also using these opinions to continue sorting out the suspicions on Jin Qi.
But now, he was already preparing to do something else.
