Everyone knew that Jian Ruyun's appearance was aimed at Liu Shisui.
Unexpectedly, Fang Jingtian didn't ask the questions himself; instead, he asked Shangde Peak.
Chi Yan took the file provided by Xilai Peak and skimmed through it. Then he looked at Jian Ruyun and said, "You accuse Liu Shisui of having something to do with the death of Zuo Yi of Bihu Peak thirteen years ago?"
…
…
The disciples of Aoyama had been waiting for the news outside the hall.
Knowing that she couldn't stay in Aoyama, Xiao He's face turned pale, but she didn't say anything.
Yuan Qu couldn't bear it, so he comforted her in a low voice.
Looking at the tightly closed door of the grand hall, Gu Qing waited in silence for the bad news.
The bad news came quickly. All the disciples knew Elder Chi Yan's question. Some of them were shocked speechless, and some were at a loss.
Who was Zuo Yi of Bihu Peak? Whispers could be heard under the pine trees, and the discussions were endless. Under the reminders of some of their fellow disciples, the disciples recalled that matter.
Back then, there was a Senior Master Zuo Yi of Bihu Peak, who was in the upper state of the Undefeated Realm and had a chance to enter the Free Travel Realm, but he died suddenly one year. His head and body were separated and thrown by a stream.
This incident had caused a great shock in Aoyama. But as time went by, the disciples who were focused on Cultivation gradually forgot about it until it was suddenly mentioned today.
How could Liu Shisui have anything to do with this incident?
Most of the disciples of Aoyama thought this accusation was ridiculous, but some of them thought that Liu Shisui even dared to kill Lo Huainan … Although it was said that there was an inside story behind this incident, and even Zhongzhou School didn't investigate it, it was Lo Huainan after all!
Later, the disciples learned that it was Jian Ruyun who accused Liu Shisui. Shocked, they looked at the place where the disciples of Liangwang Peak were standing subconsciously.
Gu Han's face was extremely gloomy. Ma Hua squinted his eyes and there was no smile on his face. He gave off an unfathomable feeling.
Whether it was the former or the latter, it seemed to prove indirectly that Jian Ruyun's accusation wasn't completely absurd.
Yuan Qu looked at Ma Hua and said uneasily, "Does Senior Brother Ma know something?"
"What the hell does he know? Just because he's a little smart, he thinks he's always in control and can predict people's hearts and the truth. In reality, he's extremely stupid."
It was rare for Gu Qing to swear.
He did not like Ma Hua.
When he was a sword boy for Guo Nanshan on Liangwang Peak, he often saw Ma Hua's smiling face, and he felt disgusted at that time.
…
…
Inside the hall.
"I'm not sure about the specific relationship between him and Martial Uncle Zuo of Bihu Peak's death, but I'm sure that he wasn't in his abode the night Martial Uncle Zuo died."
Jian Ruyun said expressionlessly, "Gu Han knows it too. And Senior Master Duan had investigated this matter."
Duan Liantian didn't expect his name to be mentioned so soon. Thinking of the Sword Justice's attitude, he couldn't help but feel his blood freeze. He said to the others, "That's right. Junior Master Liu admitted it at the time; but … it doesn't prove anything."
Jian Ruyun ignored the exoneration in Duan Liantian's words, and continued expressionlessly, "My younger brother Jian Rushan had been investigating the death of Senior Master Zuo Yi a few days ago, but he was murdered by the devil men of the Underworld outside Jianli City. I think someone tried to silence him."
Chi Yan said expressionlessly, "You can ask me anything you want."
Jian Ruyun turned to Liu Shisui and said, "You didn't want to answer when we asked you what you were doing that night. We could understand that you needed to be guilty in order to enter Bulao Lin; but what about now? Can you tell me now? "
Liu Shisui said calmly, "The death of Big Brother Jian Rushan has nothing to do with me."
Jian Ruyun was unmoved, saying, "What I want to know is where you were on the night Martial Uncle Zuo Yi died."
"I don't want to answer this question," said Liu Shisui.
Upon hearing this, there was an uproar in the grand hall.
After a moment of silence, Chi Yan said, "If it's a secret that you can't bring up in public, you can tell me in the Isolation Room, or you can go to Shanghai Peak and let the Sword Justice hear it in person. I won't tell a third person about it."
"No need," said Liu Shisui. "I don't want to answer it, no matter where I am."
Staring into his eyes, Chi Yan asked, "May I know the reason?"
"I don't want to lie anymore," said Liu Shisui.
In the past ten-odd years, he had been living in a world of lies and deceptions, both in Aoyama and in Bulao Lin.
It was not easy for him to get rid of that kind of life, and he didn't want to go back.
The atmosphere in the grand hall grew more and more awkward.
In the beginning, Liu Shisui's refusal to answer the question indicated that there was something fishy going on, not to mention that he just didn't want to lie.
Many gazes fell on Zhao Layue and Jing Jiu, especially the latter.
But Liu Shisui didn't look at Jing Jiu again.
Zhao Layue's eyelids drooped slightly, waiting for Jing Jiu to speak.
In fact, everyone in the grand hall was waiting for him to speak.
More than ten breaths had passed, but Jing Jiu didn't speak.
Zhao Layue couldn't help but glance at him, and was surprised to find that his expression was so calm.
Everyone in the grand hall was also surprised.
Many people had forgotten the death of Zuo Yi of Bihu Peak, but no one could forget what Jing Jiu had done at the Sword Trial in Aoyama.
Fang Jingtian looked at Jing Jiu in Silence, and no one knew what he was thinking.
The matter of Liu Shisui was just a trivial matter.
Even if he really killed Zuo Yi, it was just a life for a life.
But if Liu Shisui could point out Jing Jiu and Zhao Layue, then even a trivial matter would become a big deal.
Because they were at the Shenmo Peak.
The young disciples of Aoyama weren't jealous anymore, but it didn't mean that the older generation didn't feel the same.
Everything could be summed up in two words: Why?
For the Yunxing Peak Master and others, if something went wrong at the Shenmo Peak, would it mean that Senior Grandmaster Jingyang's inheritance could be redistributed?
For Guangyuan Zhenren and those of Bihu Peak who were still in closed-door training, would the Precious-Tree House and more resources be returned to their hands?
Time passed slowly. After a long time, Liu Shisui remained silent, and so did Jing Jiu.
It was unknown who let out a sigh, but it was also unknown who said coldly, "Then let's do this."
"If you insist on not telling me where you were that night, I can only treat you as the suspect of this murder case even if I don't have any evidence."
Chi Yan looked at Liu Shisui and said, "I'll take you back to the Sword Jail until the result of the interrogation is out, or you're willing to answer that question. Are you convinced or not?"
Duan Liantian glanced at him in surprise, thinking that if this was the Sword Justice's idea, why did he forcibly bring him back from Jianli?
Liu Shisui said, "I went to the Sword Jail back then, but I didn't say anything. I still think you're wasting your time."
He didn't answer directly whether he was convinced or not.
In fact, he was not convinced.
The reason why he was the current Liu Shisui was because of these two words.
The news that Liu Shisui was imprisoned in the Sword Jail spread outside the hall very quickly.
Even those in the hall could hear the commotion outside.
