Everyone's eyes fell on the four-tailed fox.

If they hadn't heard those words, they might have had reason to kill it. But now that they knew the truth, if they took action again, it would be killing innocent people.

Not to mention that if this situation was discovered by the headmaster or the people from the Discipline Hall, they would be expelled from the Tianyan Sect, and even they themselves would not be able to get over the hurdle in their hearts.

Just when a group of people were thinking about dragging Xu Shan and others out for confrontation and exposing the hypocrisy of the fox demon, Shen Jinggu, who had been silent, spoke.

His expression was indifferent, but his eyes were as piercing as the cold wind: "Do you really think so?"

When they saw Chen Jinggu draw his sword, not only the group of new disciples were shocked, but also Ning Wan, who was beside him trying to figure out what had happened.

The tip of the Qingshuang Sword was aimed directly at the fox's throat. As long as Shen Jinggu exerted a little more strength, the sword would be able to cut her throat.

——"Of course... I've been prepared for this since the day I promised her."

——"I can't stay with him for long, and I can't bring him rich prey, so this is good enough."

For the first time, Chen Jinggu felt that these two people were suitable for singing opera, which really proved the old saying: speaking is better than singing.

One said that he would find ways to make money to give his wife a better life, but he was content with the status quo and just wandered around in the mountains. He would never change his career even if there was no prey for ten days or half a month.

The other one wanted to take the blame for the monster and asked them to let go of the monster that was harassing her husband so that the other party could live a good life, but she allowed the monster to suck Xu Shan's essence and destroy his lifespan.

The room was extremely quiet, and several pairs of eyes were red.

Only Chen Jinggu and Ning Wan's eyes were too clear. Not only did they not feel any heartache, they also looked at Qing Niang, who had turned into a fox, as if she were a mentally retarded person.

Yuan Ce coughed lightly, raised his eyes to look at Shen Jinggu and Ning Wan not far away, and said tentatively: "Senior Brother Shen, Senior Sister Ning, although she is indeed occupying the body of the fox demon now, she is indeed innocent."

"innocent?"

Hearing this, Shen Jinggu chuckled as if he had heard a joke, "If she was really innocent, how could she make a deal with the fox demon?"

Qing Niang didn't expect that the immortal master in front of her would be so dissatisfied with her. Just as she was about to speak, she saw the monk's fingers move slightly, and then she also felt the pressure of spiritual power.

"You don't have to say anything. From now on, all you have to do is answer yes or no to any of my questions. If it's yes, just nod your head. If it's no, just shake your head. If you don't move, it's considered as your consent."

"First question: Were you the one who first proposed the deal with the fox demon?"

Without waiting for Qingniang to come back to her senses, Chen Jinggu asked the question that Ning Wan had asked before but Qingniang had not admitted.

The sword against the fox's neck did not retract, but instead moved forward a little.

"Brother Shen, this is inappropriate. This method is no different from torture!"

Seeing Shen Jinggu act like this, several of the new disciples frowned.

Although I had heard that Tianyan Sect disciple Shen Jinggu was efficient, I didn't expect him to be so efficient.

After being protected, Qingniang thought she still had a way out and wanted to shake her head, but the next moment she felt a piercing pain.

If Shen Jinggu's sword had not been pointed at her, she would have rolled on the ground uncontrollably.

Chen Jinggu glanced at the new disciples who said these words, and secretly noted down which heads they were. He thought that when he returned to Tianyan Sect, he must give these people more training to cure their easily confused brains.

Chen Jinggu did not stop as he was told, and his tone even became a little colder: "I forgot to tell you, to ensure that what you said is true, I also put a truth talisman on you, so you'd better tell the truth."

Qingniang had obviously never experienced such pain before, so she couldn't speak and could only nod.

"Second question: Did you choose to be like this?"

When asking this question, the new disciples thought they would see Qingniang shaking her head. After all, who would be willing to turn themselves into a monster that couldn't even speak?

What they didn't expect was that Qingniang actually nodded again.

New disciple: Hmm, with this reversal, I suddenly don’t dare to speak casually...

"Third question: Was your transaction with the fox demon during the time when you were seriously ill?"

Qingniang had already taken on some of the ferocity of a fox and wanted to bite these people to refuse to answer the questions, but she was suppressed by spiritual power. Unable to bear the pain, she could only nod again.

"Fourth question: Was your original intention in making a deal with that fox demon to save your life?"

Qingniang no longer had the intention to lie. Her eyes were filled with anger, but she could only nod helplessly.

"Fifth question: Did you know from the beginning that your deal with the fox demon would affect Xu Shan's lifespan?"

When this question was asked, no one dared to speak, and they all stared at the four-tailed fox intently.

Qingniang had never imagined that the so-called mantra talisman would be so powerful. She clearly wanted to act pitiful, but was still forced to admit her feelings.

"The sixth and final question: Are you not telling Xu Shan the truth because you will die if you tell the truth?"

When Qingniang heard this question, she could no longer remain calm. Her pupils shrank, and under the influence of the mantra talisman, she nodded again.

All the questions have been answered and the truth of the matter is clear.

Chen Jinggu raised her hand, removed the spiritual power that was suppressing her, and released the mantra talisman.

Ning Wan, who was standing beside him, looked at the creature lying on the ground with a speechless look on her face. It still looked extremely pitiful, but its appearance was different from the first time she saw it.
