Chapter 222: Alchemist Guild (1/2)

”What do you have to say for yourself, Qin Xiaobo?” Elder Jing asked in a cold voice.

Qin Xiaobo shuddered as he collapsed to the ground when Elder Jing released the restriction in his body.

”I-I was threatened to.” Qin Xiaobo said in defense.

”Oh, you were threatened to consume a modified Strength Enhancing Pill and was also forced to thrash your fellow disciple in the most ruthless way.” Elder Jing sneered.

Her impression of Qin Xiaobo continued to hit rock bottom and she was controlling her emotion to prevent herself from crippling him outright.

”Tell me where you got the pill from.” Elder Jing then said. ”As long as you tell me the culprit then I will lighten your punishment.”

Qin Xiaobo held a complicated expression as he stared in a daze. 'W-What should I do? If I tell Elder Jing the person that distributes the pill to me then I would be in a life worse than death.'

Elder Jing shrugged her shoulders as she turned around.

”Since disciple Qin Xiaobo refused to cooperate with us then may Elder Kun please escort him to the Disciplinary Hall and have Elder Shan handle him.” She then said to Elder Kun.

Elder Kun nodded his head.

”Understood, I'm sure Elder Shan would be glad to interrogate our lovely disciple.” Elder Kun showed a wide grin with his bright white teeth.

Qin Xiaobo trembled in fear when he glanced at Elder Kun's menacing expression.

”I'll talk- I'll tell the truth now,” Qin Xiaobo shouted in a frantic manner when Elder Jing started leaving the stage.

However, Elder Jing didn't stop her movement and continued to walk away at a calm pace.

Qin Xiaobo panicked as he quickly ran toward Elder Jing and knelt down on his knee. ”Please spare me, Elder Jing. This disciple was wrong and rude to you.”

Despite Qin Xiaobo's cowardly action, no one in the crowd found this situation shocking or surprising.

”Heh, serve that Qin Xiaobo right for acting so cocky.” One of the male disciples in the crowd sneered.

”Indeed, he was so arrogant when winning the fight but look at him crawling for forgiveness now.”

”Heh, imagine being sent to Elder Shan- I still get the creeps whenever I hear the name of Elder Shan.”

The outer disciples continued to gossip with each other about Qin Xiaobo surrendering to Elder Jing instead of being sent to Elder Shan.

Elder Shan was a demon for the disciples since being sent to her mean you have broken the sect rules and she was notorious for making the disciples wanting to commit suicide.

”Are you going to speak the truth and not try to waste my time?” Elder Jing asked indifferently.

”Yes, I swear to heaven that I would speak of nothing but the truth otherwise, may my cultivation base become cripple and my soul shatter into multiple pieces.” Qin Xiaobo shouted loudly as he made a vicious vow.
