章節 11: Questioning

Thus he looked towards the Gu Yue clan leader.

The Gu Yue clan leader had a serious expression. He knew that Jia Fu purposely conversed with the female Gu Master loudly; it was not only to confirm the gu master's identity but also to assert his motive.

He was implying to the Gu Yue clan head that he had the evidence in his hands, I have sufficient confidence, so you better not overly defend your own clansman.

This caused some displeasure in the Gu Yue clan leader's heart, thinking, You Jia Fu lost your brother, it was your mistake, to begin with. Now you come here to our Gu Yue village with an accusative stance, do you think my Gu Yue clan can be easily bullied? My Gu Yue clan is impartial and works around based on logic, but don't be mistaken that this is a weakness!

Thinking of this, he did not interrogate Zuo Mu immediately, but fiercely said to the female Gu Master, "Did you see clearly? There are countless Gu masters not to mention rank 1 Gu masters there and look at Zuo Mu he has no striking features at all if one saw him on the street they would forget him after immediately after looking away, so are you really sure it's him?"

The female Gu Master was just a Rank one, and under Gu Yue Bo's pressure, she instantly showed a hesitant and nervous expression.

Jia Fu frowned and took a step forward, blocking her from Gu Yue Bo's sight. Cupping his fists, he said, "Brother Gu Yue, I've always respected the Gu Yue clan. Especially the Gu Yue clan's first and fourth clan leader, these two were Rank five powerhouses. One built the clan from scratch, where he went through tough times and created the Gu Yue family's hundred year foundation. Another was a benevolent hero, to protect his clan he sacrificed himself and is worth respecting. Brother Gu Yue, as the clan leader, I believe you will act impartial, please interrogate this Zuo Mo."

Hearing that his tone had softened, Gu Yue Bo nodded, but his heart had already decided.

If this Zuo Mu was the culprit, then he would hand him over. After all, he was just a C grade, there is no loss in losing him. As long as it is able to settle this dispute.

"Zuo Mu, don't be nervous." Gu Yue clan leader smiled benevolently, using a gentle tone towards Zuo Mu, "Let me ask you, do you know any information about that Jia Jin Sheng?"

Zuo Mu looked up and nervously said "n-no, no who is that."

"He's lying!" The female Gu Master from the gambling den shrieked right as Zuo Mu finished his question.

The people in the discussion hall, upon hearing this shrieking, frowned and all looked towards her.

The female Gu Master pointed at Zuo Mu, showing an agitated expression, "It's him, it's him! At our gambling den, he bought he brought 2 rocks ended up with nothing and was hesitating with buying another and finally he bought a purple gold rock and opened a Mudskin Toad. Young master Jia saw it and tried to use five hundred primeval stones to purchase it. This left a huge impression on me, even if a year or two passes I will not forget. Not only me, but the other Gu Masters at the gambling den saw it too."

"Is that so…" The Gu Yue clan leader's smiled disappeared, showing a stiff expression and dragging his question towards Zuo Mu.

Seeing his lie exposed he quickly pretended to only realize now and quickly said "oh it's him I remember now why didn't you saw this earlier, yes I remember now, but after the gambling den incident, I did not see him ever again."

"He's lying again!" This time, it was not the female Gu Master, but a male Gu Master who called out in public.

Zuo Mu looked towards him, and as if he had recognized him, showed an expression of shock, but quickly tried to hide it.

His expression changes were reflected in everyone's eyes.

Everyone started to ponder.

"Esteemed sirs, I am an employee at the wine shop." The male Gu Master first cupped his fists to everyone, and then vigorously pointed at Zuo Mu, "That night, I saw clearly at the wine shop, he was sitting with young master Jia Jin Sheng, and the two secretly conversed for some time but they eventually broke out into an argument, it looked like young master Jia was going to get rough but" pointing his finger at Zuo Mu "he immediately said something to make young master Jia even more angry but he held it in while looking around at everyone present at the wine shop and there was almost a full house so you could ask any of them if you think I'm lying"

Once he said so, the hall erupted into a clammer of soft discussions.

The Gu Yue clan master moved backwards slightly, slowly leaning on the large chair.

"How can that be!" Zuo Mu showed an obviously frantic expression, hurriedly saying, "The wine shop had so many people, how can you recognize me just like that? You might be mistaken yourself!"

"Haha, I am definitely not wrong." The male Gu Master smiled, his gaze staring at Zuo Mu, at this moment he felt extremely confident."Not to mention it was young master Jia Jin Sheng who coming to our wine shop, we have to take care of him carefully. Even if it was not him, I would still have had recognized you, as you had given me a strong impression!"
