"He must have committed a crime. The Holy Son would definitely not arrest the wrong person. It depends on what the crime is."
The sound reached the ears of Duan Chaohai and others. The four of them subconsciously looked at each other, alert but also confused.
The four of them were publicly tried at the same time. It was obvious that their crimes were similar, but although they were from the same school, they were not close friends. Why were they arrested?
"Junior brother, it would be great if they committed suicide." Mu Qingyue leaned close to Lu Jinan and whispered.
Lu Jinan's expression did not change, so he did not block their ability to speak. He just hoped that when their spiritual power was blocked, they would either bite their tongues to commit suicide or swallow the hidden poison.
This would save me a lot of worry.
He closed his eyes, and Deputy Dean You, who was sitting behind the table, also began the interrogation.
You Suowei had learned about the situation from the dean in advance, and had also communicated with the Holy Son, so as one of the vice-presidents of the Criminal Court, he already had a plan in mind and began the interrogation skillfully.
As soon as the words were spoken, there was a noise outside the hall. No one expected that these four people were actually the ones who took over the bodies of the upper realm. Lu Jinan frowned slightly, and with a glance, the noise disappeared immediately.
Zhu Nanzhi was not interested in the interrogation. She just looked at Lu Jinan's profile with sparkling eyes, then quietly stood up and retreated to a secluded corner. She took out a new scroll and started painting.
Duan Chaohai and the other three looked at each other subconsciously again. No one knew what they were thinking in their hearts, but Bi Song, who was in the middle stage of the Holy Realm on the far left, was about to speak when his body suddenly twitched a few times and he fell to the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices.
Lu Jinan frowned slightly. This was a technique of soul suggestion. Once exposed, it would directly suggest suicide.
When the upper realm sent their useless people to take over the bodies of the geniuses in the lower realm, they obviously made a lot of preparations.
But it seems that it depends on the person. Maybe a slightly stronger loser would not be given such a hint.
It is also possible that some geniuses from the upper realm took the initiative to participate in the body possession plan.
But for now, suicide is a good thing.
Lu Jinan's fingers gently rubbed the armrests of the chair and looked at the remaining three people.
You Zuowei had already obtained evidence from Lu Jinan that Zhou Yuanfu had contacted them. After seeing Bi Song's death, he felt extremely oppressed and accelerated the interrogation process.
Seeing that Duan Chaohai and Kang Xingqin, another cultivator at the Hedao Realm, still refused to acknowledge him, You Zuowei said indifferently, "The Holy Son has captured the Wuji Demon Sect's Young Master, Zhou Yuanfu, alive in the Qinglian Secret Realm. To you two, this man's surnames are Wang and Liu, respectively. Bring Zhou Yuanfu up here."
Duan Chaohai's heart tightened, and his guess was completely confirmed. Zhou Yuanfu was really caught.
Just as he was thinking about it, he felt a figure kneeling beside him. He turned around and saw that it was someone he didn't know.
But it must be the young master of the Wuji Demon Sect.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to hide from the deputy sect leader Ji Wenchang's "correcting the origin and clearing the source" Taoist method.
He began to understand why the upper realm hated Fang Dao Zong led by Zheng Dongliu.
Because I have no way to question Ji Wenchang's "getting back to the original source" now.
The behemoth Wandao Sect has almost no flaws.
Trust is difficult to create and easy to destroy. However, the Wandao Sect headed by Zheng Dongliu has no loopholes that can be destroyed.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Zhou Yuanfu who was making a confession, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, how could he be the young master of the demon sect if he confessed everything so cowardly?
Unless... Wan Dao Zong promises him a way to survive.
Duan Chaohai took a deep breath, and a thought flashed through his mind: Is it worth living?
By the way, the lower realm doesn’t understand the upper realm. If I reveal information related to the upper realm, will I have a way to survive?
It should be possible. After all, they have no way and dare not search the soul.
With this thought in mind, Duan Chaohai spoke directly: "My name is Wei Dong, from Yinsheng Mountain in the upper realm, and I am the eighth son of the main family of the Changling Wei family."
After saying this, he looked at Kang Xingqin on the side and said bluntly, "You don't have to hide it anymore. Only by staying alive can you have hope. They also want to obtain information from the upper realm."
His intention to negotiate terms was obvious.
Kang Xingqin glanced at Duan Chaohai expressionlessly, then looked at You Zuowei: "I did contact the Liu family, but I had no idea he was the Young Master of the Wuji Devil Sect. Is there anything wrong with my letter or the sound transmission jade slip?"
Mu Qingyue leaned sideways towards Lu Jinan: "Junior brother, is this why you are not sure whether he is the one who took over the body?"
Lu Jinan said "hmm". Although Zhou Yuanfu remembered Kang Xingqin and had written about certain tasks, but although Kang Xingqin had replied several times, there was no flaw between the lines, and he really had not done the tasks.
"What should I do?"
"Duan Chaohai's words and the fact that he's indeed colluding with the Wuji Demon Sect are enough. We can just lock him up first." Lu Jinan said in a voice transmission, "We'll talk about it later."
Mu Qingyue did not ask any further. No matter whether Kang Xingqin was guilty or not, he would not be able to get out of prison until he was cleared of suspicion.
Zhou Yuanfu and Kang Xingqin were taken away together, leaving only Duan Chaohai, named Wei Dong, on the scene.
Vice Dean You Suowei had already left his seat and walked out of the hall. "Following the incident with Yang Guan in Yulin Domain, it has been confirmed that those who possess bodies from the upper realms have the ability to control others. Therefore, all those who have come into contact with the above four individuals are now going to Taiyi Peak for examination."
After saying this, he closed the palace door.
Inside the house, Lu Jinan stood up and walked towards Duan Chaohai. Duan Chaohai looked at Lu Jinan and said helplessly, "Holy Son, you always manage to find someone. You're so lucky."
Lu Jinan took out the evidence of his death, and Duan Chaohai's expression suddenly changed: "You don't ask—"
Lu Jinan killed Duan Chaohai cleanly and efficiently, disposed of the body, and then led Zhu Nanzhi and Mu Qingyue back to Taichu Peak.
On Taichu Peak, Qiu Qingtang stared at the three figures strolling down Te Street, her pink eyes sparkling.
I can finally discuss some awkward topics with Mr. Lu again. Although Mu Qingyue is quite knowledgeable about them, her understanding is based on the book "Delusionary Yin-Yang Dao" which she wrote, and sometimes I cannot keep up with her train of thought.
But Mr. Lu is different. He has never read her diary, but he understands her very well.
"Ah~ I'm finally back~"
Qiu Qingtang wagged her tail happily, and when Lu Jinan came up, she immediately said, "Master Lu, do you know that my mouth is dry after not speaking for so many days?"
Because there was no excitement when talking about dirty topics with Mu Qingyue.
Zhu Nanzhi frowned and glanced at the vixen. Is your mouth dry?
Can your mouth still be dry even if you don’t speak?
You vixen, you still want to talk to your husband?
Qingyue can't keep an eye on you, so why can't I keep an eye on you too?
"I still have something to do." Lu Jinan nodded at Qiu Qingtang and walked past her.
Zhu Nanzhi paused and whispered, "Don't even think about hooking up with my husband, you vixen!"
Qiu Qingtang turned around to look at Zhu Nanzhi as she left, then tilted his head to look at Mu Qingyue: "Is Master Lu afraid of her?"
Mu Qingyue said calmly: "You think too much, Junior Brother is indeed in trouble."
Qiu Qingtang smiled and said nothing. Anyway, it was enough for him to flatter 'Lu Pei' - on the premise that he could guarantee that the letter had nothing to do with him.
Fuyao Residence.
Zhu Nanzhi walked in and sat on the side to help Lu Jinan grind ink. She knew very well that her husband must want to organize the information he got from Duan Chaohai and hand it over.
While Zhu Nanzhi was grinding ink, Lu Jinan closed his eyes and read through Duan Chaohai's (Wei Dong) memories.
After having a draft in mind, he picked up the brush.
Zhu Nanzhi looked at him quietly with her chin supported, thinking in her mind how her husband would talk about Master Pei in a while.
What should I do?
After thinking for a long time, Zhu Nanzhi suddenly sat up straight. Could it be that her husband had predicted what she might say through the rules of time?
If I had really predicted it, what would my attitude be after tonight?
"If that's the case, my husband can handle it easily, so I————
Zhu Nanzhi looked at Lu Jinan with a dim gaze...Has her current thoughts been predicted by her husband?
"What are you thinking about?" Lu Jinan put down the brush and turned to look at Zhu Nanzhi.
Zhu Nanzhi asked softly, "Have you finished writing?"
"Yeah." Lu Jinan nodded: "Let's chat."
"My husband knows what I want to talk about—"
Zhu Nanzhi adjusted his mood and said, "It was the same when we were in Nanzhuo Territory, right?"
After a moment of thought, Lu Jinan understood what was going on.
"You really think too highly of me." Lu Jinan looked at the saint with a mixture of laughter and tears. "Even Pavilion Master Shangguan can't figure out the many secrets of a person with great fortune. Why should I? The rules of time?"
"Time rules." Zhu Nanzhi looked into Lu Jinan's eyes and said, "In my heart, my husband is truly amazing."
"If you are really that powerful, can you successfully poison me?" Lu Jinan said noncommittally, "I can't even see my own future, how can I see yours?
The way of time is not as simple as you think—..don’t you believe it?”
"I believe it." Zhu Nanzhi said quickly, "Of course I believe my husband."
"Because this is the truth, my cultivation level can't support an act that goes against the laws of heaven, such as predicting the future." Lu Jinan said calmly, "Otherwise, Senior Sister wouldn't have almost succeeded."
After a pause, he looked at Zhu Nanzhi and said slowly, "What I want to tell you is related to Master. I like Master, and I have liked him for a long time, and even more so now."
"Because she's on your side, not Qingyue's, right?"
"Yes." Lu Jinan nodded. "My original intention of turning you into a sword spirit wasn't to trick you. I really wanted to do it. If you hadn't poisoned me, you would have already become the sword spirit of the Netherworld."
"Because you're afraid that Sect Master Pei won't agree?"
Lu Jinan hummed, "Before, I wasn't sure whether Master liked me, so I didn't tell you too much, but now I'm sure, so I'm being honest with you."
Zhu Nanzhi held her skirt tightly with both hands, her brows lowered: "My husband and Sect Master Pei——"
"Master is a demon, and the demon beast's physique is strong, so he didn't make it to the last step, but other than that, he did everything he could." Lu Jinan said softly: "Master helped me secretly, so I didn't become Senior Sister's puppy."
Zhu Nanzhi was not surprised by Pei Suohao's identity. After all, he knew that Mu Qingyue was a half-demon and the niece of Sect Master Pei as early as when he was in Wujiang Cave.
This kind of thing is not important.
What’s important is that she can understand Lu Jinan’s feelings. If her husband helps her in times of crisis, she will like him even more.
But even though I understand it, I still feel uncomfortable deep down.
I originally wanted to monopolize my husband, but it was his adopted sister who took his virginity. After that, I compromised with Qingyue, and now I have to take another step back—
But my husband was honest with me.
Zhu Nanzhi pursed her lips and asked softly, "What if I'm not happy?"
Lu Jinan smiled slightly: "Want to leave?"
"I can't bear to—"
Lu Jinan stood up and walked in front of Zhu Nanzhi. He bent down and whispered in her ear: "Then - refine you into a sword spirit?"
Zhu Nanzhi's heart trembled, and she suddenly looked up at Lu Jinan. Her sky-blue eyes lit up slightly, and her lips moved but she couldn't say anything for a while.
Is this... proof that my husband likes me?
He even wants to turn his wife into a sword spirit and lock her by his side. It must be out of love!
Lu Jinan looked at Zhu Nanzhi with a smile: "What do you think of my proposal?"
Zhu Nanzhi pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and said, "I would rather stay by my husband's side like this.
"Then I have another suggestion." Lu Jinan reached out and lifted Zhu Nanzhi's chin, his eyes blazing with heat. "Use the 'Up and Down Quest for Blissful Soul Forging Method' to make you, like Senior Sister, obediently listen to me."
Zhu Nanzhi looked at Lu Jinan's somewhat sick expression with satisfaction - she had the same expression when her husband wanted to refine her into a sword spirit in Nanzhuoyu.
Such a husband is really...
Zhu Nanzhi pressed her legs together, and there seemed to be a soft rubbing sound in the outer room of Fuyao Residence along with the swaying candlelight.
Lu Jinan smiled and said, "Of course, I personally prefer the first option. For the second option, one senior sister is enough. Duplication is not good either. Don't you think so?"
Zhu Nanzhi looked at Lu Jinan with satisfaction and suddenly asked, "Did my husband deliberately let Qingyue almost succeed so that he could properly discipline her?"
Lu Jinan sighed, "What a wonderful idea, but unfortunately, I don't really have such an idea.
I really want to get along with you normally, but if you don't do what I want, I will have to use some other means to make you obey."
"But, my husband didn't know that I had cast a body-locking curse on you.
"Body Locking Curse?" Lu Jinan suddenly realized: "So that's what it's called."
He looked at Zhu Nanzhi and continued, "I really don't know, but at the time I was worried that you wouldn't go with me."
"My husband never asked me." Zhu Nanzhi kneaded her skirt with her fingers: "Why do you think I won't go with you?"
Lu Jinan walked to the window and said, "Although my time rules cannot predict the future, they can give me an intuition that tells me you will not go with me.
Later, when I found out you were the Saint of Qingmiao Palace, I knew my intuition was right, didn't I? "
