Pei Zhiyi and Gu Xizhou, who had been rushed back, took in the dramatic scene in front of them.

"I never thought that Dean Jiang would also be embarrassed."

Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows unconsciously, not sympathizing with his friend at all, "He brought this upon himself, he deserves it." He would not repeat his mistakes.

"Really?" Although Pei Zhiyi and Ye Ruoxi were good friends, they really didn't know that there was such a past between her and Jiang Wuyang.

"I'll go find Ruoxi first." Pei Zhiyi said and began to "order Gu Xizhou to leave". "You've been traveling for quite a while. You should hurry back to the Imperial Master's Mansion and ask someone to check on your health. I see that you're getting paler and paler."

Gu Xizhou cried out, wondering if the drug he had given him was too strong today… He had to swallow the bitter fruit of his own making. “Okay, I’ll listen to you, my benefactor.”

Pei Zhiyi turned around with satisfaction and went straight to find Ye Ruoxi.

"Why are you here?"

Ye Ruoxi stood up immediately when she saw Pei Zhiyi, then waved her hand to send the people around her away.

"I just came back from Rhine City, and I have some news to tell you that may be helpful to you."

Ye Ruoxi frowned slightly, made a "hush" gesture to Pei Zhiyi, and then put down a soundproofing shield. "I've been feeling uneasy these past few days. Murders have been happening in the capital, but the perpetrators haven't left any traces. And every time I'm about to find out something, the clues suddenly stop. So I suspect something's wrong within the Immortal Guard Division, so it's better for us to be cautious in our next conversation."

Pei Zhiyi nodded and said, "It's better to be cautious."

"What were you doing in Rhine City? It's the land of the elves. Logically, it can't be related to the murder in the capital."

"The most unlikely things are often the most likely." Pei Zhiyi organized his words and told Ye Ruoxi some of the necessary parts of his experience in Rhine City.

Ye Ruoxi was shocked after hearing this. "Since it's the Grand Master's suspicion, and you've actually experienced the elves' attack, it seems pretty close. But right now we don't have direct evidence to prove they did it, so the difficulty still lies with the murderer lurking in the capital."

Ye Ruoxi told Pei Zhiyi about Mo Huaizhi's speculation and suggestions. "Although this guy's character is not good, his ability to get things done and his desire to get ahead are certain. He wants to be seen in this case, so the suggestions he put forward are more credible. I have already ordered people to investigate."

Seeing Pei Zhiyi remained silent, Ye Ruoxi nudged her with her elbow and said, "You shouldn't mind if I let him do something?"

Pei Zhiyi was helpless. "This is what he should do within his responsibilities. You are within your scope of consideration whether to give orders or follow his advice. There is no need to be so cautious about my feelings. Let the past be in the past."

The past is impossible to pass, but some grudges should be avenged by yourself. There is no need to add to other people's troubles.

"Go over there?" Ye Ruoxi slammed the table hard, scaring Pei Zhiyi.

"How can we let this go? He must pay the price he deserves." Ye Ruoxi has always been clear about the distinction between public and private. "Public is public and private is private. As the chief of the Immortal Guard Division, I must listen to the advice of my subordinates and choose the best solution."

"But as your friend, I won't let him off easily in private."

Ye Ruoxi smiled at Pei Zhiyi, "Some people are meant to be lifted up high, and then dropped hard. He gets it, then loses it, and can never get it back. This is the heaviest punishment for him. Especially for someone like Mo Huaizhi, if he loses everything he thought he worked hard for, he will definitely go crazy in the end."

Seeing Ye Ruoxi's serious expression, Pei Zhiyi couldn't help but laugh, "Why do you look angrier than me? I told you when I came here this time that there are some things I need to solve by myself."

"Know it."

Ye Ruoxi agreed with a smile. Just as she was about to pour tea for Pei Zhiyi, she suddenly remembered that she didn't like tea. "Look at my memory. I wanted to pour it for you right after the tea was put there, but I forgot you didn't like tea."

"You can drink it when you're thirsty. You're not that picky."

The two of them chatted and laughed and stayed in the room for a long time until someone came to report outside.

"What's the matter?"

"Reporting to the chief, according to Mo Huaizhi's method, we have locked down several people and have brought them here. Now let's see how the chief will arrange it."

"So fast?" The speed is so fast that it is a bit suspicious.

Ye Ruoxi narrowed her eyes and said, "I'll go over there in a moment and observe the situation of those people first."

"Yes!"

"From the time I gave this order to the time it was completed, it probably took less than two hours. I want to see who they are looking for."

I haven't seen him do things so quickly in normal times. As soon as Mo Huaizhi made this suggestion, people noticed it. Was he kidding her?

Pei Zhiyi also wanted to see what the situation was like for those people who were captured, but it seemed inappropriate for her to go there as a disciple of Jiantian Academy.

"What's inappropriate about this? I've already asked someone from your academy to help me today, so it's reasonable for you to go over and help me take a look at the situation."

Pei Zhiyi smiled and said yes, then followed Ye Ruoxi over.

"Mo Huaizhi! You are so amazing!"

"That's right, your suggestion is excellent. We immediately identified these individuals according to your suggestion. Our Immortal Guard Division has never been so efficient before."

"You don't intend to stay in the Immortal Guard Division for the rest of your life, do you? With your abilities and level, I believe it won't be long before you can replace the chief."

Everyone was talking in low voices, which greatly satisfied Mo Huaizhi's vanity.

But we should still be humble when we should be humble.

"No way, if the chief hadn't adopted my suggestion, the efficiency wouldn't have been so fast. This is all thanks to the chief's good leadership."

"What are you all doing here? Just because someone's been apprehended, does that mean they're the murderer? Do you really think this matter is solved?"

As soon as Ye Ruoxi arrived, the atmosphere in the entire interrogation room instantly turned cold. Everyone was trembling with fear and didn't dare to speak, even deliberately breathing lightly.

"Look at what you've become. There are people from Jiantian Academy here today. Are we going to let them see the mess that is our Immortal Guard Division's poor discipline?"

Everyone lowered their heads as low as they could. Although they were muttering in their hearts, no one dared to stand up and say that what Ye Ruoxi said was wrong.

"Big Chief, we are just..."

"Did I let you talk?"

Mo Huaizhi's face instantly turned pale.
