1457 Who Was The Traitor? 4 (1/2)

Some of them looked steady; some of them looked curious; some of them looked skeptical; some of them looked indifferent; some of them looked like they were absent-minded.

After observing them for some time, she could not help but think that the subjective quality of the traitor was prominent. This person would not reveal the slightest hint of suspicion throughout this session.

A minute later, after they were done holding the stones, Gu Xijiu asked every one of them to engrave their name onto the stone.

This soul stone was soft, and so it was not hard to engrave on it.

After they finished engraving their name onto the stones, they were collected by sequence and were carefully inspected.

To avoid the contamination of the smell of the collector's soul, Gu Xijiu also distributed a pair of gloves to the collectors to avoid contaminating the stones with the smell of the collector's soul.

There was now a bunch of shining small stones on Gu Xijiu's hand. Gu Xijiu brought the stones to the mussel and Lu Wu and asked them to breathe on them.

The two of them followed her instructions and breathed on it. Strangely enough, though the original stones sparkled and looked translucent, they began to turn milky white once the two of them had breathed onto it. The whole process was quite magical.

Gu Xijiu took a deep breath. She smiled and said, ”I am done! Headmaster Gu, please place these 22 stones in a cave ten miles away from here together with the Tianmo Jade. Also, please assign two students who possess the dragon attribute to guard the stones. I will bring everyone to witness the result after six hours.”

Gu Canmo was worried. ”Xijiu, would it be too little to assign only two guards? What if there is any mishap?”

Gu Xijiu shook her head. ”No, to obtain the best result, we should not allow too many people near the stones. I think that it is already too much to assign two people as guards. Don't worry. There will not be any mishap.”

Gu Canmo could only follow her instruction since Gu Xijiu had assured him.

He thought for a moment and asked, ”Do we still need to quarantine the 22 people?”

Gu Xijiu shook her head. ”No, though they are all suspicious, there is only one traitor among them. It will not look good to quarantine everyone just because of one traitor. The method I am going to use is good enough, and there will not be any mistake. Let's observe the results after 12 hours.”
