Gu Xijiu had listed all the evidence one by one and all information came from messenger Shangshan and Chenge, as well as the verification from the autopsy expert. There was no room for anyone to argue or disagree anymore.
Both of the students were not killed by the mussel but someone else!
Which meant that Gu Xijiu and the mussel had been wronged!
"Anyone else still wants to accuse her?" The Lord's gaze moved around in the hall and asked as he knocked on the chessboard.
Gu Canmo and his people lowered their head.
"You have nothing to say after accusing people with zero solid proof!?" The Lord stared at Gu Canmo and his team, "Does that mean you’re only capable to bully a little girl?"
Gu Canmo’s face had turned purplish, as though it was an eggplant!
He has never committed such a terrible mistake before!
He almost caused the little girl to suffer from injustice and almost ruined her bright future!
He bowed to Gu Xijiu as an apology, "My sincere apologies Miss Gu. I'm sorry to cause you such trouble."
The rest felt the same and quickly apologized to Gu Xijiu...
These people were all experienced leaders in the mainland who was able to stir chaos easily. It was such a huge honor for Gu Xijiu to have all of them apologize to her.
Gu Xijiu remained silent. How could her injuries and sadness be relieved by a simple apology?
She and the mussel almost died here! If The Lord did not come in time, would she have the chance to save her own life?
Those people would not even allow her to investigate the case by herself!
They did not give any opportunity to her at all!
Her body was still numb and all the bruises caused by the Magic Chain were still on her skin. Even the injuries on the mussel due to the private punishment were still there...
She knew she should not cross the line as she was just a small fry and it was not beneficial to her had she offended those people. However, she could not just wipe away the madness and insult they caused with just a a smile...
She grabbed her fist and was ready to speak.
The mussel had voiced out with its fierce glare, "So you think an apology was sincere enough to compensate? You've beaten me, poked me with a needle and burned my flesh! Am I supposed to let you abuse nothing!? And my master was locked with nothing in return?!"
Gu Canmo looked at The Lord, The Lord said with an icy tone, "Do you have anything else for my disciple?"
The mussel had a relatively good memory and immediately said, "Oh right! Didn't you promise my master that you would try every single punishment I experienced before if we are discovered to be innocent?! Also, you promised The Lord you'll stay in somewhere with the idiotic chain for 30 days without eating and drinking!" It remembered everything!
Gu Canmo was speechless.
His face was burning when the mussel reprimanded him. However, everything the mussel said was right and he could not argue with it. He secretly took a deep breath, "Don't worry, I'll accept all the punishments with no discount."
The mussel immediately took advantage of the situation, "I want to be the inspector!" It wanted to make sure it was done properly.
The crowd remained silent.
Gu Canmo was the leader of Tianju Hall. He was always strict and serious, and he hardly talked or smiled.
All this while, he was the one who punished people but he had never been punished before. Perhaps, no one dared to punish him.
And now he needed to accept the punishment, but a few leaders from the penalty department planned to reduce the punishment. However, it was not possible anymore as the mussel was the inspector and it would definitely be able to sense if they were going to help Gu Canmo.
We are sorry, brother!
Gu Canmo replied, "Don't worry, I'm always a fair person and I don't indulge in tricks. No one would secretly help no matter who the inspector is. I'd bear all the responsibilities for my mistakes."
Gu Xijiu felt better as she heard those promises from Gu Canmo.
Since Gu Canmo was going to take the responsibility, it was unnecessary for her to make any requests anymore.
However, someone was not done with the results.
The Lord did not look at Gu Canmo anymore but spoke calmly, "Those punishments are the price you should pay for the game and it is not considered the penalty. Messenger Chenge, what's the punishment for accusing my disciple and the action of almost causing her death?"
Messenger Chenge was stunned.
My Lord, this seemed to be the first time you've gotten a disciple. There was no history of reference and we have yet to come up with a policy for this.
Fortunately, he acted quite fast and immediately replied, "The Lord's disciple should not be simply insulted! And she almost died being wronged! You should be torn apart by five chariots!"
He picked the heaviest penalty as he remembered the madness from The Lord at the moment he knew Gu Xijiu was locked. The Lord almost destroyed Tianju Hall.
And as The Lord had finally found the chance, he should take the advantage too.
He secretly observed The Lord and noticed that he smiled. Did he agree with his suggestion?
Messenger Chenge was delighted and had secretly praised himself for being smart.
Gu Canmo knelt on the ground with cold sweat and did not dare to speak.
It was only now that he realized the consequence of seeking troubles with The Lord.
He thought he was doing the right thing and kept scolding The Lord's disciple. He even abused her with a private punishment and apparently, The Lord hated it.
And now, The Lord was here to punish him.
Also, it was a public punishment and he could not even find an excuse for himself but only kept kowtowing...
The rest was still kneeling on the floor and quickly kowtow-ed in order to seek forgiveness on behalf of Gu Canmo. Everyone agreed that Gu Canmo was actually a good person and he contributed a lot.
After a while, The Lord spoke slowly with a lazy tone, "Since you have contributed quite a lot before, I’ll spare your life for once. However, you’re spared from death but not the penalties. It will be difficult for me, should I waive your punishment. Stay in the Mysterious Fire Land for two hours daily and the duration is two months."
The crowd trembled altogether.
Gu Canmo panicked to the extent that his anus tightened up!
The Mysterious Fire Land was as scary as the volcanoes and the temperature was 100 degrees Celsius! People with no spiritual power would be cooked alive!
Gu Canmo had very high spiritual power, however, his attributes were of the metal element and the fire could melt metals easily. Therefore, he could not protect himself with his core spiritual power but was only allowed to use the spiritual power from the complementary attribute from the water element. Water could help to remove fire, but his complementary attribute sucks!
Even though he could form an aqua membrane as protection with his level three water spiritual power, it would probably evaporate very soon. He needed to be steamed in there for two hours every day; his skin would probably peel off when he exits...
Anyway, at least his life was spared. Gu Canmo quickly kowtowed to show gratefulness.
Everyone looked at him with a sympathetic gaze.
Principal, hopefully, you are still complete after two months.
They looked at Gu Xijiu and then looked at The Lord.
They were confused; they wondered whether The Lord was helping the little girl or because Gu Canmo embarrassed him and he decided to punish him?
Gu Canmo was ready to accept the punishment, however, he had a question, "The Lord, I deserve to be punished. I wouldn’t blame anyone even if I have to suffer a heavier punishment. If Miss Gu is not the murderer, who could be the one? Is there really a second mussel?"
The Lord looked at Gu Xijiu, "Do you have any clues about the murderer?"
