602 Watch His Opera (2/2)
He then cried and claimed that he was not involved in spiritual stones theft and he urged the principal to check the spiritual stones if he did not trust his words.
Although his spiritual stones looked similar to those in the Tianju Hall, there were still some minor differences. For example, there was a special snowflake on the spiritual stones from the Tianju Hall, but his spiritual stones had a plum blossom marking.
Generally speaking, the markings on the spiritual stones were tiny, and they both looked quite similar. Hence, it was difficult to identify with the absence of a magnifying glass.
Initially, Qian Lingtian was afraid of exposing that difference as those stones would no longer be legal tender. But now, he could not wait to tell everyone about the difference.
By informing them that he secretly kept all the spiritual stones, he might be charged with a lighter punishment, and he would probably not get executed or kicked out from Tianju Hall. Perhaps, he would be locked for a few days and forced to reflect on his actions. At worst, he might get demoted to the Liuyun class. However, the truth might cause him to die!
He was familiar with the consequences. Hence, he insisted on claiming that he secretly kept the spiritual stones.
He even called his witnesses - the two students from the Ziyun class who executed the mission together with him.
Everything he said sounded real, and Gu Canmo and the elders might just believe in him if they had not found out the truth.
Both of his partners disclosed the details of the mission, but that was only sufficient to prove that the three of them had been to the cave together. They did not know about anything regarding the spiritual stones in the cave.
Qian Lingtian was really good at acting as he embarrassingly claimed that he did not share the spiritual stones with his partners due to his extreme desire for greed.
Gu Canmo did not show any facial expression but kept watching his opera.
The other four elders from the Penalty Department did not show any response as well; no one knew what was on their minds.
