"That's right, Vice Principal. We have no clue about this matter!" Several elders also said helplessly, "However, we found a Yin Lake in the Thatched House. The inside of the lake was densely packed with female skeletons. It seems that this Mao Clan is not a good thing. They have too many enemies. Their deaths are destined to be retribution!"
"Oh?" Ruyi furrowed her brows. It was obvious that she was somewhat resentful, but she still said, "No matter what, this strange thing happened in the territory under my jurisdiction. I must get to the bottom of it. Otherwise, the people will be unsettled and it will be detrimental to my governance!"
"Vice Principal, although you say so, Mao Zhang has so many enemies and they have all turned into skeletons. We really can't do anything about it!" The elders also felt a little headache.
"There is no need to investigate those skeletons. Investigate Chen Jiu carefully for me. See if he has any grudges with the Mao Clan." Ruyi couldn't help but remind them.
"What? That little disciple of Gudu Baitian? How is it possible? "The elders were stunned. Some of them couldn't believe it.
"Don't worry about whether it's possible or not. If I ask you to investigate, then investigate!" Ruyi ordered firmly. She had a hunch that this matter was related to Chen Jiu. Although it was just a hunch, it had always been very accurate.
"Yes!" The elders received the order and said, "We may not be able to investigate the dead, but investigating the living is not a problem!"
As such, the news came very quickly. All the elders joyfully reported, "Vice Principal, you are really amazing. This Chen Jiu and the Mao Family really have a great grudge!"
"Really? Quickly tell me … "Ruyi was also happy and quickly asked.
"This matter started before Chen Jiu entered the hospital …" The elders then told her in detail that Chen Jiu had a grudge with the Mao Clan, killed the Mao Clan's brothers, and was framed by Mao Zhang.
"I didn't expect this child to have a heart of justice!" Ruyi couldn't help but admire him after hearing such things.
"Yes, this child doesn't look like a bad person. Moreover, there is no sign that this matter has anything to do with him!" The elders then said with difficulty.
"That's enough. Quickly summon this brat for me. I want to ask him face to face!" Ruyi was even more certain. Although there was no evidence, she was confident that she could make Chen Jiu confess.
"Yes!" An elder left, but not long after, he returned with an extremely ugly expression.
"What's going on? Where is he? "Ruyi asked in confusion.
"Sigh, don't mention it. That brat was originally still alive and kicking, playing with his little junior sister. But when he heard that we were summoning him, he scampered off, saying that he was going into closed-door cultivation. How could closed-door cultivation be so urgent?" The elder was very aggrieved as he said, "That's Dugu Baitian's territory. I can't force him to go there. Vice Dean, what do you think …"
"What a brat. You don't even give me face?" Ruyi couldn't help gritting her teeth and slamming the table.
"That's right, this kid is too daring!" All the elders shouted in agreement.
"Hmph, since he's not coming, I'll go there myself. I don't believe that he can escape." Ruyi was very unhappy. She really wanted to catch Chen Jiu and teach him a good lesson to relieve the hatred in her heart.
And so, Ruyi led the elders to Dugu Peak again. Dugu Baitian was alarmed and quickly came out to greet them. However, his face was full of confusion. What wind blew you here again?
Ruyi didn't beat around the bush. She directly said to Dugu Baitian, "I suspect that your disciple Chen Jiu is related to a murder case. I want to investigate him now. Summon him for me!"
"This … this is impossible. Vice Dean, did you make a mistake?" Dugu Baitian was naturally very protective of Chen Jiu.
"Dugu Baitian, are you not going to give me face?" Ruyi glared at him with her charming eyes. A powerful supreme aura spread out, intimidating everything.
"Vice Dean, please calm down. It's not that I don't want to summon him. It's just that Chen Jiu suddenly had an epiphany and went into seclusion. It's not very good for us to disturb his cultivation." Dugu Baitian quickly explained.
"Don't worry. After my investigation, if he's not guilty, I'll raise his cultivation base by one level for free to make up for his loss!" Ruyi was determined to punish Chen Jiu.
"This … alright, I'll go summon him!" Dugu Baitian had no choice but to agree. At the same time, he was praying for Chen Jiu in his heart.
"Wait a moment, I'll go with you!" Ruyi was afraid that Chen Jiu would play some tricks, so she quickly followed him.
"Ah!" Dugu Baitian agreed and led the way to Chen Jiu's palace.
In the Execution Hall, Dugu Baitian and the others were shocked when they arrived. Chen Jiu was nowhere to be seen. He wasn't in seclusion at all.
"Where is he?" Ruyi's face darkened. She was very unhappy.
"I don't know either!" Dugu Baitian's face was full of shock. He really didn't know.
"Dugu Baitian, do you think that you can disregard me just because you've become a Chaotic God? Do you know how I've treated you all these years?" Ruyi scolded unhappily.
"Vice-principal, you just can't find Chen Jiu. You don't have to be so angry, right? Wait a moment, I'll summon Zhu Shi and ask her about it! " Dugu Baitian blushed with shame. Ruyi had treated him well, so he didn't dare to neglect her. He immediately called Zhu Shi over.
"Master, why did you call for me?" Zhu Shi looked puzzled. She glanced at Ruyi with disgust.
"Ahem, Zhu Shi, the vice dean wants to see Chen Jiu. Where did he go?" Gudu Baitian asked in a serious tone.
"It's all because of that woman. She ran away as soon as she saw Chen Jiu. I can't find her either!" Zhu Shi looked at Ruyi with resentment. She muttered, "Really, Chen Jiu didn't take advantage of you. Why are you looking for him?"
"Hmph, I think you have a guilty conscience, right? Dugu Baitian, you must have heard about what happened at Wan Ce Peak, right? I think it was Chen Jiu who did this. When he comes back, you must immediately take him down and bring him to me for questioning! "Apparently, Ruyi had heard it. She was very dissatisfied and criticized him fiercely.
"What? That's impossible! "Zhu Shi retorted before Gudu Baitian could say anything.
"Why is it impossible?" Ruyi frowned and glared at Zhu Shi. Wasn't Dugu Baitian too rude? If it weren't for Dugu Baitian's face, she would have already suppressed him.
"Chen Jiu was with me last night. How could he have gone to Wan Ce Peak to kill someone?" Zhu Shi said solemnly.
"Is that so? Were you together the whole night? What did you two do together? "Ruyi asked instinctively.
"Vice-principal, you may be in a high position, but you don't have the right to interfere with other people's private lives, right?" Zhu Shi blushed in embarrassment.
