He tried to escape but was beaten.

"Isn't this exactly what you actually experienced?" Zhan Wushuang asked in confusion upon hearing this.

"No, in my memory, I only spent one year at the Gray Robe Sect, but..."

At this point, Long Buji took a deep breath, "But in the dream, I was imprisoned for more than a year, and what I experienced was something I never went through in reality."

"You, stretch out your hand."

After listening, Dean Xia remained silent for a moment before speaking.

"Um."

Knowing that Dean Xia wouldn't harm him, Long Bujie hesitated for a moment before reaching out his hand.

"Relax your whole body and don't resist the entry of my profound energy."

As Dean Xia finished speaking, Long Buji felt a warm current flow from his wrist to all parts of his body.

Seeing that Dean Xia closed his eyes and remained silent, no one spoke either, and they simply waited quietly.

"Not bad."

A moment later, under the tense gazes of everyone, Dean Xia said with a complicated expression, "I just examined your bones, and your bone age is indeed twenty-one years old, but you have even stopped growing."

"ah!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Fanya and the others subconsciously looked at Jun Feijue.

Because Jun Feijue's soul is old, but his body doesn't grow up, could it be that Long Buji's situation is the same?

"this…"

Long Buji himself was completely bewildered. "I have absolutely no knowledge of this matter."

"If I'm not mistaken, you said you used to be a furnace, which might be a side effect of that time."

Dean Xia thought for a moment and said, "As for the specifics, we may have to inquire at the Gray Robe Sect to find out."

So, you mean…

Long Buji was silent for a moment, then said, "My real age now... is twenty-one?"

"That's right." Dean Xia nodded affirmatively.

"So, my memories and body are stuck at age eleven?"

Thinking of this, Long Bujie was momentarily lost in thought, his hands clenching into fists.

When he was eleven, the same year he was arrested, Xiao Jie was only eight. So, ten years have passed, and Xiao Jie must be eighteen now.

At twenty-one years old, with Xiaojie's talent, her strength should already be quite formidable.

"Dean Xia, do you really believe him?"

Seeing that the matter was about to be dropped, Qiu Hongxing immediately became anxious and stepped forward, saying, "You can't be so obviously biased!"

"I'm not being biased; I'm just stating the facts."

Dean Xia said calmly, "We'll discuss everything after I send someone to the Gray Robe Sect to confirm. If he truly is a Spirit Stealer, I will personally put him to trial. What do you say?"

"I disagree!"

However, Qiu Hongxing persisted, saying, "What if he really is a spirit stealer, and now that he's been exposed, what if he escapes?"

"So what are you planning to do?"

As Dean Xia spoke, his expression noticeably turned colder.

"The dean can investigate the truth, but to avoid unnecessary trouble, he must be detained."

As Qiu Hongxing spoke, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, "Imprison her on the Cliff of Repentance."

"Can't!"

Before Jun Feijue and the others could speak, the students of Class 26 immediately objected nervously, "The Cliff of Repentance is a place for those who have truly made mistakes. Young Master Long's crimes have not been determined at all, so there is no need for it."

"Teacher, this is where the Cliff of Contemplation Academy punishes students who have committed serious offenses."

Seeing Jun Feijue's puzzled expression, Pan Yuxuan quickly explained, "Those imprisoned there are all vicious and wicked people. He clearly has ill intentions."
