Bab 1455: Who Was The Traitor? (2)

However, everyone here was an elite of Tianju Hall, and so it was unreasonable to quarantine them for a few days. Besides, no house was big enough to detain 22 people. The discipline elders looked at each other for a moment and found it difficult to deal with such a situation.

Gu Canmo made up his mind and said, "Let's quarantine them in three groups and ask them to oversee each other. We will let them go as soon as we find the traitor."

The face of the 22 suspects changed as soon as they heard what Gu Canmo had said.

Some of them retorted. "Headmaster Gu, it is unfair to ask us to be quarantined together with the traitor. Are you planning to quarantine us forever if you are unable to find the traitor?"

Gu Canmo coldly said, "No, the longest that I will quarantine you is only until Celestial Master Zuo is dead. However, we will have to quarantine all of you until that time comes."
