Sang Hong said in a deep voice, "Auntie, you saw it. From the very beginning, both sides have been sticking to their own stories. There are quite a few people who saw Pei You go in, but he is the only one who says he didn't go in. So tell me, who should I believe?"
Zu An frowned and pulled Sang Hong aside: "Uncle, have you investigated the backgrounds of those Imperial Guards?"
“I’ve checked. They’re all clean people with no connections to anyone from Yunzhong County. I even interrogated them separately, and their testimonies are all correct,” Sang Hong replied in a heavy tone.
"Then the problem lies with Pei You?" Zu An frowned.
"It seems that's indeed the case," Sang Hong sighed.
"But he had no motive to do that." Having been with Pei You for so long, they had developed a close relationship and naturally didn't want anything to happen to him.
“That’s a question for him to answer.” Sang Hong glanced at Pei You, his eyes filled with worry. “Unfortunately, judging from his current stubbornness, he probably won’t tell the truth.”
Zu An's heart skipped a beat: "Don't worry, I have a way to tell whether what they're saying is true or false."
"How can we tell the difference?" Sang Hong asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Prepare a quiet room for me, and let them in one by one." To be on the safe side, Zuan decided to interrogate the jailers first.
As he passed Pei You, he asked in a low voice, "To be precise, what rank and level is your cultivation? This is a matter of life and death, so don't lie."
Pei You was also somewhat frightened by the current situation. If he couldn't prove his innocence, he might die here today. So he dared not hide anything: "Sixth Rank, Eighth Level".
Zuan breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, it was still within his control.
So he went back to his room first and let the jailers come in one by one.
Although Sang Hong was puzzled, he trusted him and did not ask any further questions.
After the jailers went in one by one, they saw a woman in a white dress in the room. She was stunningly beautiful, a perfect combination of innocence and allure.
How could there be such a beautiful woman in the delegation?
The moment the guards had this thought, their eyes quickly went blank.
Zuan had Daji use her seductive charm to easily control these people, and then asked her again about what happened last night.
Their answers were no different from before.
Zu An's heart sank; it seemed Pei You had indeed gone in yesterday.
After dismissing the jailers, he didn't immediately call Pei You in, but instead summoned the keyboard.
Daji is currently only at the sixth rank, fifth level, while her "Bewitching the World" skill is at the second level, which is just enough for her to control targets with the same cultivation level as her.
Pei You's cultivation level is sixth rank, eighth level. Daji obviously cannot control him yet, so she must raise her cultivation level.
The total amount of anger points he had accumulated during this period was enough for him to exchange for a Vitality Fruit to help Daji improve her cultivation.
However, the exchange rate of 1000 points for one Spirit Fruit in the shop was too average. Zaun didn't consider himself unlucky, so he decided to try his luck with the lottery.
After the lottery started, when he saw "Thank you for participating" flashing quickly on the screen, Zuan remained unmoved. He was used to this after participating in so many lotteries.
If he draws a skill every time, he'll have to worry about his lifespan.
A total of 340 Vitality Fruits were quickly extracted.
Just as Zuan was about to give Daji the medicine, his gaze suddenly sharpened, because he noticed that the cursor for the last lottery draw was hovering over the letter "S".
Congratulations on winning the "Cute Girl Voice Changer"!
Zuan: "???"
