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.
Rong Che was stunned, "Oh… Thank you, My Lord."
Gu Canmo added, "My Lord, the Eighth Prince is Miss Gu’s friend, and he delivered the Wind Caller from so far away, I think he wouldn’t do such things to hurt Miss Gu. Besides, he only has level five spiritual power; even the two dead students were better than him. It was also impossible for him to plot the murder so well."
Everyone nodded, and even Long Siye did the same. The Lord took a glimpse at Rong Che and smiled, "Eighth Prince, do you blame me?"
Rong Che shook his head, "No. I’m an outsider, and coincidentally something bad happened when I arrived, it was reasonable for you to suspect me. My Lord, you’ve actually cleaned my name by reading my memories as it proved that I didn’t lie. I should thank you, how would I blame you, My Lord?" His reply was so understanding.
The Lord nodded, "That’s great then."
Gu Canmo asked again, "My Lord, do you suspect that the culprit is someone else?"
The Lord looked at him and sighed as he shook his head, "Gu Canmo, it’s time for you to upgrade yourself and refresh your brain."
Gu Canmo was speechless.
The Firmament Stone could not help but sigh in Gu Xijiu’s mind, "Only now do I know that The Lord would call someone 'stupid.'"
Gu Xijiu shook her head, "Can’t believe the headmaster can be stupid." She looked at Rong Che. Did The Lord suspect Rong Che? He looked innocent though.
...
A jade table with Magnolia’s petals. There were a teapot and four tea bowls. Four people were sitting at the table. The Lord was sitting in the host seat, Long Siye was sitting on his left, Gu Xijiu was sitting on the right of The Lord, and Rong Che was sitting opposite The Lord. He was making the tea.
Gu Xijiu was felt like she was dreaming. That used to be her little cottage, but now it has become a mansion and temporary accommodation for The Lord. Yes, The Lord was not gone yet, he decided to stay, in her place. Until now, she could still remember the expression Gu Canmo and his people had on their faces when The Lord said he wanted to stay. All of them were shocked, as though they were struck by lightning! Their reaction was a bit too much as their mouths were left opened so widely that it could fit a herbal egg!
Of course, Gu Xijiu was shocked as well. She was wiping the mussel’s shell at the time, and she accidentally stuffed the cloth into the mussel’s mouth when she heard that. However, The Lord did not bother with all their responses and said, "I’ll be staying here for another 12 days to investigate this case."
He then walked into the new courtyard. Before he entered, he called Rong Che and Long Siye along for some discussions. Both of them were confused. However, they could not wait to follow him.
The mansion was designed with three entrances and three exits. The pillars were carved with very nice patterns. Everything was vintage and classic. It looked so much nicer than the buildings in the Tianju Hall.
Even Gu Xijiu looked around and touched the walls and displays when she entered. She felt she was hallucinating and everything would be gone once she touches them. However, everything was real - the strong pillars in the corridor were strong and firm, it did not move at all even when she pushed it.
The Lord stopped at the courtyard and told someone to set up a table. He took out a tea set and asked Rong Che, "I heard your skills are quite good, why don’t you help us?"
Thus, Rong Che took over and was making the tea. Rong Che was indeed good at making tea. The tea smelled good, and the aroma would linger in their oral cavities for quite a while.
