Cohabitation with Sword Spirit-Chapter 128 - 104: True Fans (3-in-1) Part 2

Wang Jiu said, "It's very simple. The anti-detection array on the veil itself has a unique fluctuation of true essence. Although it is very concealed and akin to the omnipresent Heaven and Earth Spirit Wind, if you carefully discern it, you can still notice the clues."

"So, does this mean there's a flaw in the product design itself? Hmph, I will claim compensation from the business building for that... But let's not waste precious time now and continue our cultivation, shall we?"

After saying this, Qian Yue picked up her drink again and stood back within the Cooling Array, continuing to enjoy the benefits of nurturing the Qi of Wealth and Honor.

Li Chaolu was truly impressed to the point of bowing down in admiration: "I say, Qian Yue... are you really that naive or just pretending to be?"

Qian Yue snorted, "What are you trying to say?"

"Open your eyes and look around you, can you?"

Right beside Qian Yue, the numerous Inner Sect cultivators of the Li Family, led by the bald-headed instructor Li Tingshu, had surrounded Qian Yue as if observing a rare creature. Their expressions varied, extremely complex.

Qian Yue immediately frowned, "Do the cultivators in your Li Family's Inner Sect always like to waste their precious time watching others? At this rate, your Cyan Cloud Comparison this year might end in failure again."

"Don't make it sound like it has nothing to do with you, you main culprit!"

As a girl not yet 15, Qian Yue still thought too simply about many things.

When she removed her Dust-removing Veil, Instructor Li Tingshu immediately noticed her, and unlike Wang Jiu, he was well aware that the appearance of the Qian Family's patriarch's youngest daughter in the Li Family's Inner Sect was not something that could be explained away with just a few words.

Li Tingshu did not dare to be careless and immediately informed Lu Xin, who was currently in charge of Inner Sect affairs, via Flying Sword Communication. However, his message inadvertently alerted Li Xinyu. Later, the plump man, relying on his superior sensitivity to beautiful girls, was the first to notice Qian Yue in a corner of the training ground, and involuntarily revealed the usual expression of someone secretly observing or following beautiful girls... At that moment, Li Qingshuang, standing opposite him, was so frightened that she screamed, and soon after, everyone was gathering around to watch.

From this point, the situation spiraled completely out of control. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Upon receiving the notification, Lu Xin was also dumbstruck, thinking that today's young people were all crazy... then felt deeply troubled. There's no doubt that this Qian Yue girl had violated a major taboo in the Immortal Cultivation Realm. Although knowledge sharing is generally advocated today, the era hasn't reached the point where all cultivation techniques are open sourced. Core knowledge remains the exclusive secret of various sects and cultivation families.

If it were an ordinary person, entering the Li Family's Inner Sect with malicious intent could be punishable by immediate execution. Yet, Qian Yue was not an ordinary person, nor did she have any malicious intent.

"Indeed, I have no ill intentions, nor do I intend to steal any secrets of the Li Family."

In the Li Family Mansion, facing the solemn and piercing stares of many Li Family elders, Qian Yue responded frankly, without a hint of stage fright.

"When I signed the contract with Li Yue, it was clearly stipulated that I would not, by any means, steal the secrets of the Li Family. Our Qian Family values contracts the most, especially among direct descendants. There has been no record of breach of contract for nearly a hundred years, so you have every reason to believe I take these provisions seriously. Moreover, I have not heard a single word from the instructor aimed at instructing Li Family cultivators. Therefore, I believe this matter is entirely unworthy of your astonishment."

As soon as she finished speaking, an elder of the Li Family furiously exclaimed, "Unworthy of astonishment!? This junior really dares to speak!"

This elder was from the same era as Li Tianya. His cultivation in the Mountain-Overturning Realm added tremendous pressure to Qian Yue, leaving her heart anxious, mind blank, and struggling to breathe.

But after a moment, Qian Yue struggled to say, "Sorry, I request to strengthen my Will Barrier. Your imposing manner is too strong, affecting my thinking and will. At this rate, I can't guarantee that what I say is truly heartfelt or objectively factual. Otherwise, this inquiry will risk being a forced confession."

"A forced confession!? Don't you know that just based on your actions, it would be perfectly justified to make you confess under duress!"

However, before the angry elder could finish his words, Wang Jiu snapped his fingers, and the God's Regret Bell within the Sword World resounded repeatedly, sending out waves of invisible ripples that formed a barrier around Qian Yue, allowing her to relax.

"Wang Jiu, what are you doing!?"

Wang Jiu responded, "Ensuring that the results of this inquiry are objective and convincing. Qian Yue is right, the purpose of the inquiry should be to explore the truth, not to force a confession. Considering the overwhelming advantage in cultivation realm of the elders present over Qian Yue, I suggest that you should suppress your imposing aura when speaking, to avoid causing inaccuracies in the inquiry results."

Pausing for a moment, Wang Jiu continued, "Of course, if your intention is indeed to force a confession and the inquiry is just a facade, that's another story. With your cultivation, it's easy to make a Cloud Surge Realm cultivator say anything."

"Don't speak nonsense! We wouldn't stoop to forcing a confession on a child!"

Wang Jiu nodded, "Then please control your imposing aura."

"Whose side are you really on!?"

Wang Jiu said in wonder, "My stance is naturally based on the Li Family's stance. Wasn't I just helping you maintain the inquiry's objectivity and persuasiveness? Why are you asking such an obvious question? Do you truly qualify to conduct this inquiry?"
