The crowd was shocked, but everyone remained silent. Rong Che’s hand which was holding his fan trembled, while Long Siye’s face turned slightly pale.
Gu Xijiu blushed, she wanted to jump up, but her waist string was still tied together with his robe. It was not an easy knot to untie. She was nervous and tried her best, but it was a dead knot. She felt so helpless and thought to just pull herself away by sacrificing the ribbon. Luckily, The Lord simply swayed his hand, and the ribbon was finally untied.
Gu Xijiu was speechless and quickly jumped away from his arms. She was cursing herself silently as she was not a careless person, but she had been publicly embarrassing herself quite often. When she got up, she felt someone was staring at her, and she almost shivered. Subconsciously, she raised her head and saw a charming young teenager standing behind Gu Canmo. He was wearing the uniform of the Ziyun class. It was a light purple robe, and his body figure was fit. He looked around 17-18 years old. His features were as nice as a statue with a high nose, thin lips, and a pair of charming eyes. He looked cool and was standing there impressively.
Gu Xijiu's gaze met his gaze, and he moved away and smiled sarcastically. Gu Xijiu did not look at him for long. She had seen many of those kinds of teenagers in reality and also in the comic world. There were also a lot of them in the animation program, and the teenager looked like the fictional character Sasuke Uchiha in Naruto. However, this teenager looked more handsome and sharp than Sasuke Uchiha.
Gu Xijiu was not a big fan of handsome guys. Since she came to this world, attractive guys were everywhere! She was immune!
Most of them were elders of the Tianju Hall except the student. He was standing beside Gu Canmo. Needless to say, Gu Xijiu knew his identity.
He must be the most well-known male student in the Tianju Hall - Yan Chen! There were three things for Gu Canmo and his subordinates to report. Firstly, Long Siye paid a visit. Secondly, there was an accident during the interrogation of Hu Qingqing. Thirdly, Rong Che did not leave. He was wandering nearby after he was sent out from the Tianju Hall. The Lord called him back.
The Lord asked Long Siye, "Why are you here?" Long Siye moved his gaze away from Gu Xijiu and replied, "My Lord, Headmaster Gu has invited me to teach here, but I did not have time to do so until now. Besides that, I also heard My Lord is here. Hence, I decided to pay a visit."
The Lord looked at Gu Canmo; he coughed and answered, "My Lord, indeed I had invited Overlord Long six months ago. Finally, he is here…"
The invitation was sent out six months ago, but now only he came. The Lord knew very well the main intention of his visit. He blinked his eyes and then slightly nodded. He did not bother anymore but asked about Hu Qingqing.
After Gu Canmo left the hall, he immediately arrested Hu Qingqing for interrogation. However, Hu Qingqing had committed suicide, and no one knew whether she felt embarrassed or guilty. She exploded, and it was very difficult to collect any information. Gu Canmo could perform a simple Soul Collection; however, when he gathered Hu Qingqing’s souls, it was not a clear one. Everything was scattered, and there were no memories in her souls. The explosion had hurt the souls, and it lost all its memories. As he talked, he also passed a gourd container to The Lord and checked whether he would have any solution.
The Lord took a look and casually said, "She has lost all her memories… However, I have a solution to recall all the souls. Only then can we conduct the interrogation." He then threw the gourd to messenger Shangshan, "Keep this first."
Messenger Shangshan quickly kept it properly. The Lord then looked at Rong Che, "You’re the Eighth Prince of the Feixing Kingdom, Rong Che?"
Rong Che bowed and answered, "Yes."
"You delivered the Wind Caller?"
"Yes."
"The Wind Caller is a level five beast, and it’s wild and ferocious. It wouldn’t listen to anyone other than its master. How did you bring it here?"
Rong Che smiled awkwardly and replied, "Indeed, My Lord. It definitely refused to listen to me, and I’ve suffered a lot to execute this task. Luckily, it can understand human language, so I tried my best to persuade it. It also doubted my words, but in the end, it agreed to come with me but didn’t allow me to ride on it. Thus, I had to find my own ride, and it followed behind us."
The Lord looked at the Wind Caller, and it immediately stepped back. It then nodded to agree with what Rong Che said.
Gu Xijiu was delighted as she dreamed that Rong Che came with Wind Caller. It seemed like it was not just a dream.
"Where were you on the night of the incident?"
"My Lord, I arrived too late that night and could not manage to return immediately. Therefore, I sought approval from Headmaster Gu and stayed overnight at Yan Chen’s place. He can be my witness."
The Lord looked at the cool teenager who proceeded to bow and answer, "Indeed, the prince is my friend, and he is good at making tea. We have been talking about tea the entire night."
Gu Canmo asked, "My Lord, I thought we'd found the culprit?" Why do we still need to interrogate the Eighth Prince?
The Lord did not bother with him and asked, "Have you found the lethal weapon?" Gu Canmo was stunned and shook his head, "No. We haven't found anything even though we have turned Teacher Zi's place upside down. I suspect the weapon has been destroyed."
The Lord slightly nodded and looked at Rong Che again. Suddenly, a colorful ray came out from his fingertip and shone on Rong Che’s forehead!
Everyone was shocked, including Rong Che. Subconsciously, he tried to escape. However, The Lord was too fast, and Rong Che did not manage to move.
The colorful ray penetrated his forehead. Rong Che’s body was stiff as though he was frozen. Gu Xijiu was shocked as well. Rong Che was her friend; she definitely did not want him to be hurt. As she saw The Lord attacked him, her first response was to interrupt him. However, she stopped when she saw Rong Che’s expression.
Rong Che looked normal, but he seemed to have entered a dream state. He began to talk to himself, and he sounded like talking to someone about tea.
Gu Xijiu remained silent.
A moment later, the colorful ray had gone. Rong Che woke up from his dream and looked at everyone with his eyes widely opened.
"Brother Rong, are you alright?" Yan Chen quickly checked on him.
"I'm fine. I think I had a dream just now; we were talking about tea…" Rong Che smiled and then apologized to The Lord, "I'm sorry, My Lord. I can't believe I fell asleep while you were asking a simple question. I'm so embarrassed. Please punish me."
The Lord casually said, "I was reading your memories, you weren’t sleeping. So, you don’t have to feel sorry."
He read Rong Che's memories, which was the same as what he reported to The Lord. He was indeed having a discussion with Yan Chen about tea.
