The Law Hall of the Seven Star Sect is located in the remote Yaoguang Peak.
When Xiao Yinyue followed the disciples of the Law Hall to Yaoguang Peak, she saw many people already standing in the lobby, including some whom Xiao Yinyue knew, such as Wang Han and Chu Wenxuan from the Biyun Sect. .
In addition, there are also many disciples of the Seven Star Sect. There are no inner disciples, they are all outer disciples and handymen.
Sitting on the main seat of the Law Hall was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties. He was wearing the clothes of the hall master. He could tell at a glance that he was the master of the Law Hall. Xiao Yinyue had heard of him and his name was Yan Luming. , is a fair and strict person.
I saw that he had deep eyes and a resolute face. Sitting there, he looked calm and solemn. His eyes occasionally glanced at the crowd below, and those calm eyes seemed to be able to see through people.
After a while, more people were invited one after another, Wei Xiaolong and Wei Xiaoxue were also among them. When they walked in and saw Xiao Yinyue, they naturally came to her side, and the nervous expressions on their faces were obvious. Relaxed a lot.
They are about to undergo a severe test. As the hall leader, they are usually at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage or the early stage of the Golden Core Stage. People with low cultivation levels will often be under strong pressure when facing them. It makes people unable to help but tell the truth.
When everyone arrived, Yan Luming stood up slowly, and the whole place was immediately silent.
On both sides of him, there were six disciples of the Law Hall standing on each side. An invisible aura suddenly spread, so oppressive that it was suffocating. Some of the servants could not help but tremble slightly.
Xiao Yinyue naturally stretched out her hand and held Wei Xiaoxue's hand. Wei Xiaoxue, who was frightened, immediately became more at ease, but still couldn't help but feel a little worried, and felt like a guilty thief.
At this moment, Wei Xiaolong also took a small step forward inconspicuously, blocking the other side of Wei Xiaoxue without leaving any trace.
With her brother on one side and Xiao Yinyue on the other, Wei Xiaoxue felt a little more at ease.
Yan Luming didn't speak for a long time. He just looked at everyone below with a calm expression. Everyone had a sense of depression that a storm was coming.
Until a female disciple who had just started working as a handyman finally couldn't bear it anymore and said with an emotional breakdown:
"I really didn't do anything and I don't know anything!"
After saying that, he squatted on the ground and cried loudly.
Seeing her emotional breakdown, a female disciple from the outer sect standing next to him knelt down and patted her on the shoulder, giving her some comfort.
At this time, Yan Luming spoke slowly:
"I called everyone here today just for a routine inquiry. You must all know that around midnight last night, someone sneaked into the Scripture Pavilion and stole a very important secret book. Most of the people present, last night You are not in your own place, as long as you can tell me your whereabouts."
"I hope you can answer truthfully, because we will conduct further verification. If anyone conceals or lies, we will severely punish them."
His speaking speed was neither fast nor slow, and there was a sense of rhythm. It seemed that every word was like a hammer hitting everyone's heart, creating a heavy sense of oppression involuntarily.
Next came the questioning session. He sat in the innermost seat with a table in front of him with a pile of personal information. He held a pen in his hand and called people over one by one to ask questions. Written on paper.
During the inquiry process, a barrier was also set up to prevent outsiders from hearing. After all, everyone's whereabouts are also personal secrets, and some cannot be known to outsiders.
He didn't spend much time with each person, and some people even just asked a few words and then left.
About an hour later, it was Xiao Yinyue's turn. She whispered: "The three of us will go together."
So, the three of them came to the seats in front of Yan Luming and sat down together. Yan Luming looked at the three young men and women in front of him calmly. After observing for a while, he asked, "Why are the three of you here together?"
Xiao Yinyue replied calmly: "Because we practiced together last night."
Yan Luming looked at the information of the three people on the table and asked casually: "Where are they?"
Xiao Yinyue replied: "In a cave not far from Qixing Academy, there is a waterfall over there."
Yan Luming had a stern look on his face, as if he was recalling where he was. After a while, he asked again:
"Did you notice anything unusual over there at night? For example, you saw injured people hiding there, or passing by there."
Xiao Yinyue thought for a while before replying: "I didn't find it. We were practicing in the cave. We didn't hear about the theft of the Scripture Pavilion until we returned to the academy after dawn."
After Yan Luming heard this, she paused and did not ask any more questions. After a while, she looked at Wei Xiaoxue and asked:
"Wei Xiaoxue, why are you so scared?"
Suddenly being asked by name by Yan Luming, Wei Xiaoxue, who had a guilty conscience, was so nervous that her whole body trembled, and her mouth trembled as she replied: "I...I..."
Xiao Yinyue held her hand tightly, and then answered on her behalf: "She has never experienced such a scene, so she is afraid."
Yan Luming looked at Xiao Yinyue thoughtfully, and after a moment asked, "Then why aren't you afraid?"
Xiao Yinyue pondered for a moment and replied: "Because I understand that as long as we tell each other honestly, you will not embarrass us."
Yan Luming has interrogated so many people, but this is the first time he has encountered someone like Xiao Yinyue. A little handyman who has just been in the job for more than a month, and who has no cultivation level, can actually do this to him. How did she do it calmly and calmly?
Is it really because of her magnanimity in her heart, as she said?
Although he has never practiced mind reading, the interrogation skills he has accumulated over the years have made Yan Luming's observation, reasoning and insight very comparable to others. He can roughly infer by observing the details of the interrogated person's words, deeds, expressions and movements. Find out the other person’s mental state and intentions.
Therefore, many people with higher cultivation than him felt inexplicably guilty and nervous in front of him.
As an ordinary person, Wei Xiaoxue would be nervous, scared, and even fearful. Her reaction was normal, but Yan Luming did not doubt it. Wei Xiaolong had the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage, so he could pretend to be calm, which was in line with common sense.
Only Xiao Yinyue could handle it with ease, without any nervousness at all, which really surprised Yan Luming.
Even if he is magnanimous in his heart, he is not so calm. Such a psychological quality is far beyond that of his peers, even far beyond ordinary people. It is really unbelievable.
Yan Luming couldn't help but open the file about Xiao Yinyue in his hand again and read it carefully.
Thirteen years old, an orphan, with mixed spiritual roots of the Five Elements. He loves reading. Because he was known as the most beautiful handyman, he was elected as the chief disciple of the handyman. Because he read a lot and accumulated rich knowledge, he was transferred to the alchemy hall to be an alchemy boy. Recently, he was also selected as the alchemy boy. She was known as the most talented woman in the sect because she wrote good poems.
This was the key word in Xiao Yinyue's file. Yan Luming curiously pulled out the poem she wrote and murmured -
"I don't know the true face of Lingshan, I just happened to be born in this mountain."
"The building outside the Qingshan building outside the mountain..."
"You will be at the top of the mountain, and you will have a panoramic view of all the small mountains."
"Don't worry, no one knows you in the future. No one in the world knows you."
While reciting the poem, Yan Luming couldn't help but feel a storm in his heart. How could this be an ordinary child? He was clearly a genius among geniuses!
Although her cultivation aptitude is not good, her literary talent, her mind, her courage, and her understanding of things are all beyond ordinary people. She is not a normal person at all. Naturally, she cannot look at normal people. Come and see her.
No wonder she was so calm and calm, because she had already seen through my intentions, so she wouldn't panic.
Yan Luming couldn't help but admire this child, and even felt a trace of undue reverence. Such a person, even if his achievements in cultivation are very limited, are destined to become a person who will leave his name in history!
He calmly suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and then continued to speak in a majestic tone:
"What you said is just one-sided. I will send someone to check with you. I hope the three of you will cooperate."
Xiao Yinyue nodded and replied: "No problem, we will fully cooperate."
Yan Luming waved his hand and said, "Okay, I will arrange for someone to follow you back immediately to double-check whether the situation is true."
Xiao Yinyue and the others had just retreated not far away when a young disciple from the Law Hall came over and followed the three of them to the waterfall stone house.
When he followed the three people through the waterfall and entered the stone house, he couldn't help but secretly sigh, this is really a good and hidden place.
A heavy rain caused all traces of the outside to disappear. At this time, there was no trace of Fang Wenbo in the stone house. The disciples of the Law Hall checked three times as a routine and found nothing, so they left. .
Since that person came in, the three of them have been sitting quietly at the stone table. Wei Xiaoxue has been in an extremely nervous state. She is the person who can't hide things the most. If Fang Wenbo hadn't been here, her state might have been It would be better, but Fang Wenbo is here, and he knows that Fang Wenbo is the one who stole the secret book of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
As soon as the man left, Wei Xiaoxue relaxed suddenly, breathed a long sigh of relief, and was about to speak. At this time, Xiao Yinyue had already put a glass of water in front of her, held her hand on her shoulder and said:
"Don't be afraid, Xiaoxue. The Law Hall will not wrong us for things we haven't done. We have to believe that the Law Hall is fair and just. Come on, drink a glass of water first to calm down the shock."
As she spoke, her fingers quickly dipped in water and wrote the words "No one left" on the table.
After Wei Xiaolong saw it, he calmly replied: "Yes, our sect's Law Hall always handles cases in accordance with the law. As long as we have not done anything bad, there is no need to be nervous or worried."
When Wei Xiaoxue saw those three words, she couldn't help feeling nervous again, and wanted to turn her head and look outside the stone house.
Xiao Yinyue stopped her from turning her head, and the hand on her shoulder pulled her up and said: "If you still feel nervous, let's continue to practice the blast stick technique taught to us by Brother Xiaolong! Just sweat it out. ”
Wei Xiaoxue was pulled up by Xiao Yinyue in a daze.
