602 Watch His Opera (1/2)
”You’re innocent? Where did these spiritual stones come from then?”
Besides the spiritual stones, there were a few medicine bottles in his storage bag. They were very rare medicines which included those he bought from Gu Xijiu.
The chief of the Penalty Department asked furiously, ”And where did you get the spiritual stones to buy all these medicines!?”
Qian Lingtian remained silent but was notably terrified.
...
The sky was still dark. However, it was bright in the Lingfeng Court. The crowd had filled the court, and the audience today was basically all the geniuses in Tianju Hall.
All the class teachers and elders from each department were gathered as well, together with Yan Chen and Yun Qingluo. The disciples from the Ziyun class were also present.
Most of them did not know what happened and looked confused. Everyone stared at each other with many question marks above their heads as they saw Qian Lingtian brought into the court by the four elders from the Penalty Department.
After a short wait, another few people were brought into the court by the disciples from the Penalty Department. They were also students from the Ziyun class. In fact, they were the best buddies of Qian Lingtian, who always played and hanged out together.
Only when Gu Canmo appeared in the court and initiated the interrogation did the crowd finally understand what had happened.
Qian Lingtian had a few opportunities to commit suicide or kill everyone accompanying him to Lingfeng court. However, who would pick that road if there was still hope?
Along the journey, he had been thinking of how to explain the source of his spiritual stones, and he almost finished designing his lies when he arrived at Lingfeng court.
When he heard the questions from Gu Canmo, he began to orchestrate his lie. Based on his statement, he found a pool of spiritual stones in a cave when he went out on a mission. He admitted that he secretly kept everything for himself due to personal greed.
