After the owners of the contracted beasts came forward, Mu Qingli let his contracted beast communicate with those contracted beasts, and he roughly understood the injuries of these contracted beasts.

Mu Qingli casually pointed at one of them and said, "Tell me why your contracted beast was injured?"

The man named Tan Zuo was pointed out. A flicker of guilt crossed his face when he heard the question, but then he said calmly, "Isn't it normal for a contracted beast to get hurt? I was out on a mission before and encountered danger. I summoned my contracted beast to help stop it, and that's how it got hurt."

Mu Qingli nodded without commenting, letting him stand aside alone. He then looked at the other person and asked, "Tell me why your contracted beast was injured?"

This time, it was Guang Cong who was pointed out. When he talked about his contracted beast being injured, a trace of sadness flashed across his face. He reached out and touched his contracted beast:

"I just signed a contract with my contracted beast a few days ago. It was seriously injured at the time, and I couldn't bear it, so I took out some medicine to save it. Since then, it has been following me around and refused to leave, so I signed a contract with it."

Mu Qingli didn't make any comment on him. He nodded and asked him to stand on the other side of Tan Zuo.

Afterwards, Mu Qingli asked questions one by one, and dozens of people were quickly divided into two teams.

Everyone's contracted beast had its own reasons for being injured, and the people below had different expressions when they heard these reasons.

"I've heard your reasons, but is the truth really as you say?"

Mu Qingli had a blank expression on his face, and his last sentence sounded very serious. Several people in Tan Zuo's team were so scared that their legs were shaking, but they still stayed in the team and didn't dare to stand out.

Mu Qingli didn't give them any face at all: "Do you think the contracted beast is your toy? Beat it if you want, scold it if you want?"

This question made everyone present lower their heads. They all did these things when they were in a bad mood.

After all, they are contracted beasts and they can't talk. It doesn't matter if you beat or scold them, they will always work hard for you.

Mu Qingli fixed his gaze on the people standing on the stage again and said in a cold voice, "I'll give you one last chance. If you don't tell the truth, then you don't need to listen to what I say next."

Mu Qingli knew that he had no right to let them leave Qingyun Academy, but he could decide whether to guide them or not.

As soon as these words came out, several of them immediately admitted their mistakes: "I was wrong, I shouldn't have lied..."

Mu Qingli asked the few who admitted their mistakes to stand in a separate group. Seeing that no one continued to admit their mistakes, Mu Qingli looked at the group led by Tan Zuo and said, "You guys can go now. You don't need to listen to what I say next."

The rest of the group fell silent. After a moment of initial shock, a flicker of anger crossed Tan Zuo's face. "Why aren't you letting us listen? We're also students of Qingyun Academy!"

Mu Qingli was waiting for him to ask this question and immediately clapped his hands in applause.

Tan Zuo was somewhat frightened by her attitude, but thinking that he would definitely not know what he had done to the contracted beast, he became confident again: "As long as you can give a reason, I will leave."

Mu Qingli walked to Tan Zuo's contracted beast and reached out to touch it, but it subconsciously closed its eyes and its body trembled uncontrollably.

Mu Qingli stepped back slightly and looked at Tan Zuo with a cold gaze: "Alright, then I'll let you die knowing full well. I bet you also saw how your contracted beast reacted when I touched it just now."

Tan Zuo stiffened his neck and explained, "My contracted beast is just shy of strangers. It doesn't like people touching it."

Mu Qingli laughed in anger. "Your contracted beast is a Snow Blue Brain Wolf, a spirit beast. These spirit beasts are naturally brave, so how can they be afraid of strangers? Why don't you say that you abused it so much that it thought it was going to be beaten when it saw a slap on the face?"

Mu Qingli raised his voice slightly at the last sentence. Tan Zuo lowered his head, his face showing anger and shame. He quickly adjusted his mood and glared at Mu Qingli:

"I used to admire you so much, and you're just slandering others with your mouth? The contracted beast can't talk, so how do you know I hit it? Did it tell you?"

Mu Qingli didn't expect that even after she had said this, he still refused to admit it. He really wouldn't give up until he reached the Yellow River.

However, this was in line with her expectations. Only by catching an example could these people learn their lesson.

Mu Qingli flipped his right hand slightly, and two bottles of pills appeared in his hand. He picked up the pills and explained their functions:

"I have two bottles of pills in my hand. One is the truth pill, and the other is the pill that can make the contracted beast speak human language."

When Tan Zuo heard the effects of the two bottles of pills, his heart tightened. He had heard of the Truth Pill, but he had never heard of the other kind of pill.

Mu Qingli also knew that the second kind of elixir was incredible, so he explained to the elders of the Beast Taming Academy, "This second kind of elixir is popular in Shenzhou. It's called the Beast Spirit Pill. It's an imperial-level elixir. After taking it, the contracted beast will be able to speak human words within two hours."

This was the first time that the elders of the Beast Taming Academy had heard of this kind of elixir. It wasn't that they suspected the elixir was fake, but they were worried that these students would not be willing to try it with their contracted beasts.

He thought about it and summoned his contracted beast. His contracted beast was a purple lion, also a sacred beast. Although the sacred beast could communicate with the master spiritually, it could not speak in front of people other than the master.

"This kind of medicine is quite novel. Could you give it to my Zi Yan to try?"

Zi Yan is the name of the contracted beast.

Mu Qingli knew the reason why the elder of the Beast Taming Academy did this, and nodded immediately, giving him the entire bottle of pills: "Elder, this bottle of pills is given to you, but there is a restriction, you can only take a maximum of two pills a day."

The elder didn't care about this and said that he understood. After taking the pill, he immediately poured out one and handed it to his contracted beast.

As soon as Zi Yan swallowed the pill, everyone's eyes were focused on him, waiting for him to speak.

Tan Zuo also looked at it nervously, silently praying in his heart that what Mu Qingli said was a lie, otherwise he was really afraid that Mu Qingli would feed the pill to his contracted beast.

Although the contracted beast obeys its master, I have abused it for so long. What if it really reveals its usual behavior...

Thinking of this, Tan Zuo couldn't help but shudder, his eyes fixed on the contracted beast of the elder of the Beast Taming Academy.

Zi Yan was being stared at by so many people, and even though he was very strong, he felt a little uncomfortable, so he immediately moved closer to the elder.

The elder touched his head and said to him expectantly, "Zi Yan, the pill you just took can make you speak. Try it."
