Chapter 394: Chapter 284: Some People Still Expect You to Be Reasonable (2)

In the end, Iron Wood Blade was caught and severely tortured.

If he didn’t steal it, why didn’t anyone else discover it, and only he did?”

“Do you think so?” Gu An asked.

“It’s not what I think, it’s what those senior brothers and sisters think; with my low cultivation, I can’t make any decisions.” The Immortal of the Skywind Palace immediately shook her head.

Gu An remained silent for a long time.

He asked again, “Did Iron Wood Blade say anything?”

“He said he didn’t steal, he said he has proved it, why doesn’t anyone believe him.” The Royal Attendant immediately said, “Our Royal Family didn’t interfere, they did the questioning themselves, and the final conclusion was also made by them.”

Gu An fell into silence once more.

Finally, with some curiosity, he asked, “Do you think he stole it?”

Both kept their heads down, not daring to answer.

Gu An didn’t care and instead said, “Then, did you steal it?”

“No.” Both answered in unison.

“Since it wasn’t you who stole it, would you allow us to search you?” Gu An asked again.

For a moment, both became anxious.

“You can’t search us, why search us, we didn’t take it.” The Immortal of Skywind Palace immediately spoke up.

Gu An slightly nodded and said, “Afraid to let me search you, it seems like a guilty conscience, so the stolen item is with you?

Speak, where did you hide the stolen items?

And who are your accomplices?

Confess all, otherwise don’t blame us of the Demon Sect for ruthlessly crushing you.”

“No, I haven’t stolen anything.” The Immortal of Skywind Palace said.

“No? Who can prove you haven’t stolen anything?” Gu An asked.

“Who? Who can prove it for me?” The Immortal of Skywind Palace immediately said, “Our Sect’s senior brothers and sisters.”

“Who specifically?” Gu An asked.

“Senior Brother Hua, Senior Sister Min.” The Immortal of Skywind Palace immediately said, “They can both prove it for me.”

“Senior Brother Hua?” Gu An said with a slight smile, “How can he prove anything for you if he is already dead? Senior Sister Min? Isn’t she likely to be your accomplice?”

Saying this, Gu An ignored the other’s shock and turned to Zhang San, saying, “This fairy mentioned she had an accomplice, her very own Senior Sister Min, bring her here.”

Zhang San put on a mask, smiling as he said, “Okay, headmaster, just give me a moment.”

“No, it’s not like that…” The Immortal of Skywind Palace immediately started shaking her head, trying to say something.

But with a single finger, Chen Changfeng sealed her up, leaving her in horror unable to make a single move.

Thus, Gu An looked at the Attendant and asked, “And your accomplice?”

The Attendant was terrified, kneeling on the ground he said, “It wasn’t me, I’m willing to be searched.”

Chen Changfeng immediately started the search.

In the end, nothing incriminating was found, just some Spirit Stones, Elixir Pills, Cultivation Techniques, and Tokens.

Additionally, there were some letters, but those were just about some affairs of the Royal Family.

Gu An saw the letters.

He found that it was said the Royal Family had a Commandery Princess with extremely high natural talent.

But it wasn’t certain which Commandery Princess it was.

Moreover, it seemed there was a Princess lost among the common people.

Beyond this, there was a highly talented Princess in the Royal Family, who might have been swapped with a commoner.

Gu An closed the letters, acting as though he had seen nothing.

Why would an Attendant have these letters?

The Royal Family truly is never calm.

Gu An returned the items to him and then turned his gaze back to the Immortal of the Skywind Palace.

Her face was full of horror and fear.

Gu An found it strange, it seemed like her horror was overdone.

“Search.” said Gu An.

Chen Changfeng did not hesitate, and she reacted intensely.

Unwilling to cooperate, but she had no say in the matter.

Quickly, another letter was found.

Chen Changfeng handed the item to Gu An.

The latter simply glanced at it and his brows furrowed.

It seemed…

Something was indeed found.

Did he also have such talent?

To detect accurately with a single search?

And she had a lot of Spirit Stones, three thousand.

He himself as a Returning to Void, only got ten thousand Spirit Stones even after selling the Spiritual Egg.

This Golden Core Middle Stage, how did she get so wealthy?

Even that Baldie didn’t have so many Spirit Stones.

The envelope’s contents were scant, only mentioning that the item had been received, and the promised things would be fulfilled soon.

Furthermore, it instructed Min Fairy to be ready, waiting for their contact.

As a detective, after reading the contents of the envelope again, Gu An took a deep breath, feeling he might have been a detective delayed by logging.

Merely acting out of turn, he had found the right person.

But he was curious, why would she keep this letter?

Chen Changfeng suddenly said, “Headmaster, when I went in, it seemed like she was just about to open this letter.”

“It must have just been received.”

Gu An: “…..”

For a moment, he was somewhat astonished. Was it his own luck, or was it Chen Changfeng’s luck that was good.

The other party had just received it today, and was caught immediately.

At this moment, Gu An noticed the desperate gaze of the woman before him.

It seems that she does not often do such things.

She lacks such stability.

Soon, Zhang San came back.

He brought back a cold-faced woman.

Zhang San let out a sigh of relief and said, “These people seem to be gathered together, it took some effort to capture her.

Late-stage Primordial Spirit, her strength is still decent.”

At this point, Senior Sister Min looked at Gu An with cold eyes.

As soon as the sealing was undone, she immediately shouted angrily, “Did you kill these people?”

“You should ask Zhang San about that,” Gu An casually replied.

“It wasn’t me. Who would kill so many people without reason? Wouldn’t they all suspect it was me if they died?

Do we look that foolish?” Zhang San shrugged.

Gu An didn’t think much of it, but said, “Senior Sister Min, have you seen this letter?”

Senior Sister Min glanced at the envelope in Gu An’s hand, plus the desperate junior sister on the ground.

Her brows furrowed and she said, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”

“Just now your junior sister said that you were her accomplice. How would Min Fairy explain this?” Gu An asked.

“What does her stolen treasure have to do with me?” Min Fairy retorted coldly, “I advise you to release me. If it leads to a conflict between sects, I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear such punishment.”

“When did I say she was the one who stole the treasure? Min Fairy seems to be prescient,” Gu An chuckled.

“Aren’t you here to investigate the disappearance of the treasure? Why need prescience for that?” Min Fairy sneered.

“Since it is not the Fairy, may I search your body?” Gu An asked.

“Whom are you insulting? What right do you have to search me?” Min Fairy asked.

“How come the Fairy had the rights to search our Sect Disciple’s body then?”

“Demon Sect Disciples are all deserving of death. It is his honor to be searched by me. Does a Demon even deserve to be considered human?”

Hearing this, Gu An nodded slightly: “The Fairy’s words do make some sense.”

Then Gu An looked towards Chen Changfeng.

The latter stepped forward and kicked out.

Bang!

Min Fairy was sent flying directly into the wall.

At this time, Chen Changfeng picked her up and slapped her.

Smack!

The crisp sound echoed.

“You….”

Smack!

Smack!!

Smack!!!

Several slaps followed, making her angry and terrified.

“What are you looking at? We are the Demon Sect, as you already called us Demons, not even counting as humans, so what’s wrong with hitting you? What’s wrong with searching you?

Do we still have to reason with you as humans, when you’ve already labeled us as Demons? Do you still expect us to reason with you?”

Saying that, another slap followed.

“It’s your choice, Fairy.”

After saying that, Chen Changfeng casually threw the person on the ground, stepped on Min Fairy’s face, and started to search her.

Zhang San, looking at the person in front of him, felt quite emotional: “What talent.”

Gu An: “….”

With just a glance from me, I only asked him to search her, without caring whether she agreed or not.

After all, I never intended to be a conventional mediator, nor had I intended to be reasonable.

The faster this matter is resolved, the better.

Particularly since the other party was already suspected, what’s the point of saying so much?

Just a waste of time.

But he had not asked Chen Changfeng to talk so much nonsense, to do so many meaningless things.

It seems like too much of a scene, as if our Demon Sect is really no good.

Unfortunately, nothing was found upon searching.

“Lock her up for now,” Gu An said.

Since someone is going to come looking, he might as well wait.

And wait for the next Ring of Destiny.

It’s just that he will have to deal with those people again during the day.

It’s quite troublesome.

Elsewhere.

Outside the Academy building, three people opened their eyes.

A man, a woman, and an old woman.

“There’s trouble in the city,” the old woman said.

Then she looked towards the ethereal and aloof-looking young woman beside her and said: “Junior Nephew Ran, go take a look.”

Leng Qingtao nodded slightly, then quickly made her way towards the city.
