"Why are you so flustered?" Xiao Ran asked.
Xiao Zhou lowered his voice." I interrogated them briefly just now. The six of them were very tight-lipped and refused to speak.”
"What are you trying to say?"
"Brother Xiao, you're very resourceful. Do you have any good ideas?”
"No, I haven't." Xiao Ran entered the cell.
Dozens of students from the Dragon Pool Academy were locked up on the first to ninth floors according to their suspects.
The greater the suspicion, the deeper the layer.
There were a total of six people locked up on the ninth floor. It could be seen that the six of them were the most suspicious.
Seeing Xiao Ran enter, the imprisoned student roared at him,""Let me out! I'm innocent."
"The real can't be fake, and the fake can't be real.”Xiao Ran said.
"I want to see the dean. You're torturing me into confessing.”
"Soul Shifting Technique." Xiao Ran used this spirit skill.
Golden light flickered in his eyes as a layer of ripples rippled out. With his current Spirit Master cultivation, the strength of his soul was not something he could withstand.
Under the golden light, this student's mind was in a daze and was controlled by Xiao Ran.
"Tell me, what were you doing last night?”
"After night fell, I read some articles and felt sleepy, so I went to sleep.”
Xiao Ran put away the Soul Shifting Technique and left the cell. He locked the door and entered the second cell.
The same thing happened.
He asked five people in a row, but none of them did it.
When he arrived at the last cell, he saw that the jailer had changed. The student's expression remained unchanged and he was quite calm, but he was nervous.
Xiao Ran was different from Little Zhou.
They were both jailors, but their auras were different. A single look and action could bring about a great sense of oppression.
"You're different from them.”Xiao Ran said.
"Since the dean has ordered the Divine Sword Guards to interfere in this matter and lock us up in the imperial prison, we will never be able to clear our names before the matter is investigated. If they made a fuss at this time, they would only bring trouble to themselves.”The student smiled bitterly.
"Good temperament." Xiao Ran said.
He used the Soul Shifting Technique to control him.
"What were you doing last night?"
Boom!
Righteousness Qi rushed out of his head. Justice and holiness transformed into a golden light, wanting to protect his clarity and break Xiao Ran's spirit skill.
"Eh? You actually comprehended Righteousness Qi?" Xiao Ran exclaimed softly.
The higher-ups only said that these students were key seedlings and that no one had comprehended Righteousness Qi.
If they had comprehended Righteousness Qi, they wouldn't have been sent to the imperial prison. Every student who had comprehended Righteousness Qi was a treasure of the academy. Even if they made a mistake, they would be dealt with internally, and the Divine Sword Guards wouldn't interfere.
He deduced.
He deliberately concealed the Righteousness Qi, afraid that others would find out.
"Get lost." Xiao Ran shouted.
Pure spiritual energy rushed out and suppressed this tiny amount of Righteousness Qi into his body, once again controlling his mind.
"Speak!"
"Some time ago, Chen Wenheng got lucky and bought three paintings from the Green Garden Bookstore. These three paintings were all the work of a saint, and each painting could help people comprehend the Righteousness Qi. He absorbed the artistic conception of one painting, comprehended the Righteousness Qi, and became a personal disciple of the school.
Although the higher-ups tried their best to keep the news under wraps, I still managed to find out.
In order to get the remaining two paintings, he had worked with Priest Wu to make a plan a few days ago and took action last night. After he left, I was afraid that a long delay would lead to trouble, so I used the artistic conception in the paintings to comprehend the Righteousness Qi.”the student said.
"Painting?" Xiao Ran felt that this matter was very familiar.
"A monk, a sword, and a sun. The shopkeeper of the Qingyuan Bookstore had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. He had sold such a precious treasure for a cheap price of ten thousand taels.”
Xiao Ran's face darkened. He finally understood.
The three paintings that he had sold to the Green Garden Bookstore cost 1,000 taels each, but this profiteer had resold them for 10,000 taels each.
"I'll look for him after work."
He continued to ask.
"Where is Priest Wu?"
"After leaving the capital, go straight west for 50 miles. There's a small mountain. Priest Wu lives in a house by the river.”
Xiao Ran put away the Soul Shifting Technique and left the cell.
The student was at a loss, completely unaware of what had just happened.
Looking at Xiao Ran who was leaving, he frowned in confusion."Why did he leave?"
Back in the hall.
Xiao Zhou poured a cup of tea and handed it over.""Brother Xiao, you didn't use torture?"
"I did." Xiao Ran took the teacup and drank it.
"Let's go."
"Where to?"
Xiao Ran did not reply. Xiao Zhou's eyes lit up and she asked excitedly,"Any results?"
"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded.
They arrived at the hall on the first floor.
"You came at the right time. I was about to get someone to call you over.”the lieutenant said.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Ran found it strange.
"Although the God-Catching Sect is unreliable and specializes in tricking teammates, they are still generous. They didn't give less rewards and even gave more.”The lieutenant handed two banknotes to him and Xiao Zhou.
The face value was ten thousand taels.
"Although the work in the imperial prison is dangerous, the pay is very generous. You deserve it.”the lieutenant said.
Xiao Ran accepted the silver notes.
The lieutenant took out two more silver notes and handed them over.
This time, it was a thousand taels.
"This is the reward I requested from the higher-ups.”
"Thank you, sir." The two of them thanked him.
"Aren't you interrogating the suspect?" asked the lieutenant. Could it be that there's a result?"
"Yes." Xiao Ran replied.
He skipped the process and went straight to the result.
"I didn't misjudge you. You've made another contribution.”The lieutenant said excitedly.
"I'll let you remember your contributions first. When this matter is over, the rewards will naturally come.”
He quickly walked over to Wen Fuxian.
"There's news from Milord." the lieutenant said.
She told him the truth.
Whoosh!
Wen Fuxian stood up excitedly and walked quickly to Xiao Ran.""Is what you said true?"
"Yes." Xiao Ran replied.
"If what you said is true, you will be the one to take credit for the theft of the treasure of the Dragon Pool Academy.”Mr. Wen said.
He brought Chen Wenheng along and rushed to the ninth level impatiently.
Xiao Ran felt that this matter was especially funny. The three paintings that he had casually drawn had actually become treasures in the eyes of others.
"There's a white lotus cake inside. Send it to the Eldest Princess first.”The lieutenant handed over a food box.
He took the food box.
Xiao Ran entered Purgatory and opened the cell door. He entered the cell and placed the food box on the table.
There were two portions in total, and each portion had six pieces. They were as noble and holy as lotus flowers and contained dense spiritual qi.
"This is the white lotus cake you wanted." Xiao Ran sat on the chair and ate a piece.
The taste was not bad. A piece of White Lotus Cake was equivalent to three days of hard work.
"You're not polite." The Eldest Princess rolled her eyes at him.
She sat opposite him and ate a piece of white lotus cake elegantly.
After eating the white lotus cake.
Xiao Ran reminded him," If your Spirit Master cultivation can break through to the Earth Realm, the pain might be reduced when the Demonic Qi erupts.”
