Chapter 472: Tell the Truth

Seeing his uneasiness, the two men who were beaten felt relieved.

They should expose his true colors in public, let Nian Tu see what kind of violent maniac her fiancé is, and then let the master support them and fight back, so that this guy will never survive in Linggang Sect again! !

Nian Tu caught a glimpse of the two pig-headed men’s smug looks and turned away in annoyance.

The frown on her face made the male who was secretly glancing at her even more panicked, but the next second, she held his hand without any explanation.

Nian Tu took half a step forward, showing a protective gesture, holding Xie Jili with one hand, and gently stroking the back of his hand with his fingertips as a comfort.

"Elder, please don't punish me yet. There must be a reason for this." She said firmly, revealing her full trust. "My fiancé would never fight with others for no reason. These two must have done something that made him unbearable."

"......" In an instant, Xie Jili felt as if he had been pardoned. His heart, which was about to stop beating, began to beat wildly in his chest again.

He looked at Nian Tu's back in a trance. Although he was not tall, he stood firmly in front of him.

The little rabbit had countless fans in the Linggang Sect. As soon as she opened her mouth, people immediately agreed with her one after another and stood on the same front with her.

"Yes, that's true."

"Thank you for your kindness, which is rare in the world. You have always endured my insults to my face."

"Ah... indeed..."

"I'm so sorry. I also scolded Brother Xie, but he didn't get angry with me at all. He even thanked me for praising Junior Sister Nian Tu."

"I'm sorry, Brother Xie, I'm sorry for offending you before..."

The overall atmosphere in the cultivation world is strong, and the same is true for Linggang Sect. Everyone present just saw Xie Jili block Elder Yuchi's attack, and their attitude towards him immediately changed 180 degrees. Even his rivals who disliked him out of jealousy had a different attitude towards him.

Previously, they had provoked Xie Jili in every possible way, but he had never fought back. They had originally thought that he was too useless and had to endure it. Now, it seemed that it was because he had a good temper.

So, what did those two guys do to anger such a mild-tempered person?

Quite a lot of people came forward to testify for Xie Jili. The elders listened attentively for a while and almost made a decision in their hearts.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, staring at him, Elder Yuchi couldn't save face and looked very unhappy.

He glared at his disciple and then accused Xie Jili, "Even if my two rebellious disciples did something to anger you, you shouldn't have been so cruel. Swinging a sword at a fellow Taoist is really not an upright act..."

"fart!"

Elder Qingyan descended from the sky along with a stream of burning spiritual energy. "According to what you said, all decent cultivators should not fight back or talk back when they are hit or scolded?!"

"Then I'm going to slap you in the face, and you can't argue with me, right? After all, you're an upright person!" He sneered at Elder Yuchi, "You've caused trouble, and you're not as skilled as others, so just take the beating. Let the younger generation solve the lawsuit themselves, why are you trying to muddy the waters, old man?"

"You...!!!" Elder Yuchi's face turned red.

Why is he here to join in the fun?!

Seeing Elder Qing Yan standing next to Nian Tu and Xie Jili, as if supporting them, although Elder Yuchi didn't know how these three were involved, he understood Qing Yan's intention.

He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "The truth is still unclear, and it may not necessarily be my apprentice's fault. Elder Qingyan, please don't be too protective of him!"

Maybe this kid is bullying others by relying on his superior strength?

The fact that many people spoke for him was not enough to prove anything. After all, his fiancée Nian Tu was very popular in the sect, and many people stood on her side. It was not surprising that they would confuse right and wrong for her and make the false true.

"Protecting someone?" Elder Qing Yan curled his lips. "I will protect you. How do you feel about that?"

"Could it be that you are the only one allowed to protect your two disciples, and I am not allowed to protect them?"

The boy surnamed Xie has a miserable life experience. Now he has no elders to protect him, so he can only rely on him for protection.

As long as he is around, he will not tolerate the unreasonable old and young bullying others together.

"If you want to know the truth, you can find out after a trial." Elder Qing Yan sneered and took out a bottle of pills. "Give each of them a truth pill, and then we can start the trial!"

When it comes to making pills, Elder Qing Yan is definitely a rare genius. When he was young, he was very smart and had many ideas. He created many strange pill recipes, and the Truth-Telling Pill was one of them.

Anyone who takes the truth-telling pill can only tell the truth before the effect of the drug wears off. The higher the grade of the pill and the weaker the endurance of the person taking it, the stronger the effect. They may even uncontrollably shout out all the truth without being questioned by others.

The disciples of Linggang Sect had all heard of this and were staring at the medicine bottle in Elder Qingyan's palm with great curiosity. They really wanted to see with their own eyes whether this elixir was as magical as the rumors said.

The two people who were beaten turned pale with fear, but the wounds were too red and swollen to change. They whispered softly and resisted very much, "No, no..."

With so many people watching, if they took the truth pill and publicly revealed their evil thoughts towards Nian Tu, where would they be able to stay in the sect in the future? !

"Master! We don't want to take random pills!" The two clung to Elder Yuchi as if they were grabbing the last straw, begging earnestly.

Hearing this, Elder Qingyan's face darkened, "The elixir that I made myself is just a mess in your eyes?"

The status of alchemists in the cultivation world is quite high, and they are the objects of flattery. After all, who can have no need for elixirs? Elder Yuchi was unwilling to compete with Elder Qingyan on this issue, fearing that he would offend him and fail to buy the elixirs he wanted in the future. He smiled awkwardly, "They are ignorant and speak without thinking..."

"But they are already so badly injured, it would be inappropriate to interrogate them again." Elder Yuchi narrowed his eyes and looked at Xie Jili, "In my opinion, the one who injured them should be questioned."

"What's wrong? According to your logic, we are still not sure whether the perpetrator is Xie Jili." Qing Yan confronted him with a tiger face, "If we don't interrogate your disciples, how can we be sure that they are telling the truth and not making random accusations?"

Seeing that the two sides were deadlocked, another elder who had been watching for a long time spoke up to smooth things over, "Then let's try them together."

After this was said, most people nodded in agreement. Elder Yuchi thought about it and felt that it was fair, so he stopped objecting.

Elder Qingyan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Xie Jili had already reached out and took a truth pill, tilted his head back and swallowed it.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Not only the disciples were curious, the elders had never actually seen the effects of the Truth Serum Pills with their own eyes. They had only heard about it from Elder Qing Yan's description, and today they were finally able to see it for themselves.

Xie Jili's Adam's apple rolled and he swallowed the pill expressionlessly. He stood there motionless, as if nothing had changed.

"...?"

Is this effective or not?

Everyone could hardly hold back and were eager to ask him questions, but for the sake of fairness, they first looked at the two people lying on the ground.

It's their turn.

Both parties took the medicine together and asked questions together.

Elder Qingyan approached step by step with the elixir in his hand. The two men trembled and backed away, their resistance evident in their words.

Even Elder Yuchi couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and frowned to remind him, "What are you afraid of? This is the elixir that Elder Qingyan made himself, it's not toxic."

The sword guy had already eaten one and seemed to be fine.

The two had no way to avoid it. They looked up at Xie Jili, who was as calm as water. They gritted their teeth, made up their minds, each picked up a pill, closed their eyes and put it in their mouths.

Escape is not a solution after all. If they refuse to take the truth pill, it means that they are guilty. It is better to give it a try.

Maybe the pills won’t work!

Isn't that guy very calm?
