"Senior Brother Deng, Senior Brother Sun, don't listen to this guy's nonsense!" Senior Brother Ji's voice was the loudest. Although he was slightly afraid of Lu Ping, he didn't have the time to care about such a matter. He rushed up to explain to Deng Wenjun and Sun Xiao. He looked at Lu Ping with a hateful gaze.
In the end, Deng Wenjun only said one sentence, and it made Senior Brother Ji feel as cold as winter.
"So, you know this person?" Deng Wenjun said.
"Ah … I know him, but not familiar … he comes to Pine Creek Town every year. I often bring new people, so he looks familiar …" Senior Brother Ji felt he couldn't explain and cursed Zhuang Yong a hundred and eighty times in his heart. He was already planning how to find this guy and teach him a lesson.
In the end, Deng Wenjun immediately responded.
"Go find him," Deng Wenjun said.
"Yes." Sun Xiao nodded and pointed to a few of his students in the Imperial Academy. This situation wasn't the responsibility of the Imperial Academy, but there was no need to be so clear in such an urgent situation.
"Release the Jadestar Arrow and seal off Pine Creek Town." Deng Wenjun was like his mentor, Ruan Qingzhu. He was extremely decisive and even used the Jadestar Arrow. The Jadestar Arrow was used by Alkaid Peak to transmit important warnings. It couldn't be used unless it was an emergency. Once the Jadestar Arrow was released, everyone in Alkaid Peak would put down everything they were doing and obey orders. The other Peaks and Courtyards would naturally send people to communicate and cooperate when they saw Alkaid Peak use the Jadestar Arrow.
Senior Brother Ji didn't expect to have to use the Jadestar Arrow in the blink of an eye. His face paled. Although he didn't feel guilty, he didn't dare have too much confidence in Zhuang Yong. If there really was a problem with that guy, then he definitely wouldn't let him off the hook for accepting gifts and business referrals.
Just as Sun Xiao raised his hand to release the Jadestar Arrow into the sky, a voice suddenly said, "Senior Brother Deng, Senior Brother Sun, I know something useful."
Everyone looked towards the source of the voice and saw Lin Tianbiao, who had passed the inspection and entered the mountain gate, turning back to speak.
"Speak." Deng Wenjun recognized Lin Tianbiao. He also knew that his mentor, Ruan Qingzhu, favored this young genius from the Lin family. However, it was not in Deng Wenjun's character to love the house and its crow. He did not have any special feelings for Lin Tianbiao.
"It's like this. It's because our Lin Family's courage is especially sharp. That was why I initially sensed that there was something strange about the Illuminating Pearl, but my knowledge was shallow and I did not know that it was a marking method of the Dark Academy, so I did not pay much attention to it. However, when he passed by the stall again, he discovered that there was something strange about one of the boxes. I tried to probe. The other party tried to hide it, saying that it was a local specialty for a friend. Under my insistence, he was about to show me, but in the end, an unfamiliar young man suddenly appeared and took the box of goods. "Lin Tianbiao recounted his experience at Zhuang Yong's stall.
"Why didn't you stop him?" Sun Xiao asked immediately.
"Because at that time, I saw that there were indeed friends who received the goods, so I didn't pay too much attention to it. But now, it seems that the Illuminating Pearl might have been a sign of their contact, and that box of goods might be the real problem, "Lin Tianbiao said.
A box of goods.
When this keyword came out, it was unknown how many people present could not help but look at the box in Ying Xiao's hands. Ying Xiao was not one to hide his temperament. He immediately raised the box in his hands to the highest, most conspicuous position, and called out, "Are you going to say that it's this box?"
"That's not it." Lin Tianbiao shook his head.
"You only saw the box, what about the things in the box?" Sun Xiao asked.
"I'm not sure," Lin Tianbiao said.
"That's why, if someone changed a box to transfer the goods, you would not be able to tell." Sun Xiao was in charge of the Imperial Gate Academy, and this sort of cover-up was just a small trick in his eyes.
"I can't tell." Lin Tianbiao nodded. Such a statement undoubtedly pointed the suspicion towards the box in Ying Xiao's hands, but Lin Tianbiao's tone did not seem to point to this, and was only stating the matter as it stood.
"Put the box on the stone platform." Sun Xiao was straightforward. There was no need to delve too deeply into this matter. The box was here, and everything would be clear once it was opened.
Ying Xiao did not show any reluctance. Entering the mountain gate meant that one had to be inspected, and his box was no exception. At this time, it only received a little more attention.
The box was placed on the stone platform by Ying Xiao. But many people in the Imperial Gate Academy were already shaking their heads. Why would professionals like them need to open the box to see? As early as they had doubts about the box, they had already begun to use their own methods to inspect it. In their eyes, these methods were as reliable as directly opening the box to see. Perhaps even more effective.
But no one found any problems. Everyone's gaze was on Sun Xiao, waiting for his final confirmation.
Sun Xiao was more experienced than them, and had the most brilliant methods. But right now, he had chosen to use the most ordinary, most ordinary method.
"Open it." He said. He did not use any methods. He was prepared to use his own eyes to see, like a normal person.
The large box was opened. Since even the principal of the Imperial Gate Academy, Sun Xiao, was so unskilled, the others did not mind using their own eyes to see. Unfortunately, they didn't see anything. The box was empty. It was an empty box.
Lin Tianbiao's expression changed slightly. He had tested the box before, using the Lin Clan's proud and sensitive soul power. But because the contact was too short, he could not determine what it was. But, there was a center of gravity. The box clearly had a center of gravity, so how could it be an empty box?
Lin Tianbiao was somewhat surprised, but there were many people who were surprised. Clearly, no one had expected the box to be empty.
"It's an empty box." Even Lu Ping said.
"What did you think?" Ying Xiao's expression was a bit proud.
"I saw that you were a bit careful, and thought that you were hiding something good inside." Lu Ping said.
"Then I wanted you to ask, but you really are a boring person." Ying Xiao said.
"Then isn't it very interesting now?" Lu Ping said.
"A bit." Ying Xiao nodded.
The two talked as if no one else was present, causing the people of the Imperial Gate Academy to have ugly expressions. Some people even cast unfriendly gazes at Lin Tianbiao, clearly thinking that Lin Tianbiao had misled them, making them feel a bit awkward.
"Alright, close it." But the principal of the Imperial Gate Academy did not seem to feel anything. After indicating for Ying Xiao to close the box, he no longer paid attention to them.
"Seems like it's not here." He said to Lin Tianbiao.
Lin Tianbiao nodded.
"Then do you think that the unfamiliar youth and the box will harm the North Style Academy?" Sun Xiao continued to ask.
"I don't know." Lin Tianbiao shook his head.
"Release the Jadelight Arrow again. Pay attention to the box and the unfamiliar youth within a five hundred li radius." Deng Wenjun ordered again.
