“Too many people will easily alert the enemy. Tonight, Chu Yu, Teacher Feng, and I will go together to find evidence. Senior Brother Yue, is there any problem?” Ji Jiuying smiled.

At first, they did connect Liu Piaopiao to some clues, but based on Liu Susu's memories and her narration, they had already dismissed Liu Piaopiao as a suspect.

The reason she suspected the Second Elder was because he was so targeting of her, to the point that he wanted her to be proven guilty.

That very night, she had her second uncle place the recording stone in the second elder's bedroom. The next day, she deliberately rested on their usual route and deliberately mentioned that she had found some clues to make the second elder give himself away. As expected, the second elder lost his composure.

“No problem, but I’m very curious how you were so sure it was him,” Yue Feiqun said. He was now very interested in this Ji Jiuying, who was able to calmly find evidence amidst all the doubts and insults.

"Since Senior Brother Yue is so interested, then come with me!"

Seeing this, Yue Feiqun followed. Ji Jiuying went to find her second uncle, Feng Che, and on the way, she met the sect leader of Chang Le Sect, who brought Qingling back to the Yin Sect.

The group arrived at the interrogation room in a grand procession. Inside, there were only Shen Qingqiu, the Grand Elder, and Yue Donglin, the sect leader of the Medicine Sect.

"Teacher Feng, Xiao Jiu, you're here!" Shen Qingqiu heard the noise and saw Ji Jiuying and the others arrive.

"Vice Dean Shen, Sect Master Yue, Grand Elder!"

After exchanging polite greetings, the group got down to business.

Shen Qingqiu invited Ji Jiuying over not only because she was key to the case, but also because he needed her help.

The Second Elder's spiritual power was sealed, and he was tied to a cross to the side. He looked up at Ji Jiuying, but did not take her seriously. However, Feng Che surprised him.

"I'm really curious, when did you start to doubt me?" The Second Elder looked more disheveled than he had been in the main hall, suggesting he had suffered quite a bit.

"Speaking of which, we have to thank Liu Piaopiao for this!"

Liu Piaopiao? Not only the Second Elder, but even Shen Qingqiu and the others were puzzled. What did this have to do with Liu Piaopiao?

"Do you remember the first day we went to see Feng Yu, and the way she seemed hesitant to speak when we were leaving? It was because Liu Piaopiao was an alchemist and she frequently visited the Medicine Sect that she had the same aura as the Second Elder. At first, Chu Yu and I focused our attention on Liu Piaopiao."

Shen Qingqiu and Yue Feiqun recalled that yesterday, and it was indeed true. Ji Jiuying added, "That night, Chu Yu and I went to Feng Yu again to ask about this matter. Just as she said in the main hall during the day, I then focused my attention on the Medicine Sect again."

“I checked Liu Susu’s courtyard again and found some dried mud near the door of her room. The mud was rich in spiritual energy and was usually used to grow spiritual herbs. I also checked the nearby routes and found that the Medicine Sect’s medicinal fields and the main hall of the Weapon Refining Sect were only separated by a wall. Sure enough, I found some mud in the main hall that came from the same place as the mud I found in Liu Susu’s room.”

“I went to the herb field, and as I expected, the soil all came from there. As for why I suspected the Second Elder so quickly, it's because he was too eager to convict me! I haven't been at Star Academy for long, I've never met the Second Elder, and I've never offended him. Since the incident, your targeting has been too strong! It made me suspicious!”

Unexpectedly, Ji Jiuying discovered the details that they had overlooked; she was too meticulous.

After hearing this, the Second Elder was filled with regret. If he had been more cautious in the morning and hadn't fallen for her trick, she would never have found any evidence! He wouldn't have ended up like this!

"Don't waste your time, I won't tell!" The Second Elder understood their purpose in trying so hard to keep him for the night.

"There will always be a way to get you to talk, won't there?" Ji Jiuying sneered, taking a few steps forward with a bottle of pills in her hand.

The Second Elder sneered, "Little girl, you're still too arrogant. You don't actually think you can make me talk just because you have a pill, do you?"

"My Heavenly-grade Mantra Pill shouldn't be too bad, right?" Ji Jiuying deliberately leaned closer and poured it into her palm so he could see it more clearly!

A rich fragrance of pills wafted into everyone's nostrils; the purity of these pills seemed to be at the maximum level! Shen Qingqiu looked at Ji Jiuying with shining eyes. If he guessed correctly, the True Word Pill at the Qiyue Night Tower auction must have been refined by her!

That's when he truly envied Old Man Yu!

The Second Elder's eyes widened in shock when he heard it was a Heaven-grade Mantra Pill! A Heaven-grade Mantra Pill! It was actually the Mantra Pill that had recently reappeared in the martial world!

As far as he knew, only Qi Yueye Tower possessed the True Word Pill, and even then, it wasn't available often; the competition was fierce, and it was extremely difficult to acquire one! How could she have it!

"How about it? Aren't you excited to be able to eat such a precious elixir!" Ji Jiuying smiled innocently.

"Impossible! This must be fake! It must be fake! Don't try to scare me!" The Second Elder panicked.

"Second Uncle, take out the recording stone and make a record!" Ji Jiuying turned around and looked at Feng Che.

The words had barely left his mouth when everyone except Wen Chuyu and Shen Miaoqing was utterly shocked! Second Uncle? Feng Che is Ji Jiuying's second uncle! Then what about the rumors circulating in the academy before…?

"Alright!" Feng Che took out the recording stone and threw it into the air, infusing it with spiritual energy.

"Elder, thank you for your trouble!"

Ji Jiuying then handed the pill to the Grand Elder and said.

The First Elder came to his senses and naturally knew what the True Word Pill meant. He took the pill, roughly pinched the Second Elder's mouth shut, and threw the pill in.

Cough cough cough cough!

No matter how hard the Second Elder tried to vomit, nothing came out!

"Second Elder, why are you willing to kill others just to expel me from the academy?" Ji Jiuying's indifferent voice came from behind.

"Don't even think about it... because the First Elder wants to capture you alive and take you back to Tianmen Mountain!" The Second Elder couldn't help but answer Ji Jiuying's question.

Everyone was amazed; this Mantra Pill truly lived up to its reputation! It was incredible!

The Second Elder roared, "You vile... *slap!*"

A crisp sound rang out in the interrogation room. Ji Jiuying chuckled coldly, "Do you know? The last person to curse me like that is already in hell!"

"Ji Jiuying!" The Second Elder felt a burning pain on his face, but even more so, a deep sense of humiliation. No one had ever dared to treat him like this before, especially a fourteen-year-old girl!

Ji Jiu picked at her ear, not bothering to talk nonsense, "Why did the people from Tianmen Mountain arrest me?"

"I don't know, but it seems to be related to his apprentice, Ji Rufeng!"

Ji Rufeng? Could it be that he was taken back to Tianmen Mountain? That's really rare. Even though he's already become a cripple, his master is still willing to take him back to the sect.
