“No, don’t! Everything I said is the truth!
“I-I’m not lying at all!”
This man in front of him was truly horrifying. Would he dare to hide anything from him?
“D-Don’t search my soul. I-I can t-tell Y-Your Excellency everything I know!
“M-My master, Great Master Chu, and I h-have stayed here for nearly s-seven days! At my master’s o-orders, I, I have been keep watch over that Miss Qiao the, the entire time.”
He really didn’t know whether this horrifying young sir had known of his presence from the beginning, or whether he had found out only now…
Thinking about it, it was impossible for him to only find out now.
The small and skinny man shook his head in terror. “I-I also know some things about Master. My, my master had once sch-schemed against that Miss Qiao when he was in Shuntian Prefecture.”
Mo Lian raised his eyebrow and indicated for him to continue.
That small and skinny man quickly divulged everthing he knew.
“B-Before the academy competition, Master put poison and forbidden curses on several students from River Horse Academy. He had planned for them to kill Miss Qiao during the competition, y-yet who knew… they were saved instead.”
“Afterwards, Master sent several people to investigate, but none of them returned.”
“Hence, Master stopped for a while, un-until you all came to Anyi Prefecture. Master then chased after you all with me, waiting for an opportunity to strike.”
“Your master is from the Clear Sky Faction?” He didn’t expect there to still be surviving members from the Clear Sky Faction who had pursued his Qiaoqiao all the way here.
The small and skinny man hastily shook his head and said, “I-I don’t know Master’s identity. B-But everyone calls him Gr-Great Master Chu! He is masterful at using poison, a-and he has already reached the perfected rank of mystic-realm cultivation in the forbidden curse technique.”
When he saw Mo Lian’s expression turn cold, the small and skinny man screeched, “E-Everything I say is the truth! I-I indeed do not know M-Master’s identity. I-I am only a mere apprentice learning from him! Look, I am not too skilled in u-using talismans either.”
Mo Lian sniggered. “Number One, kill him.”
With that order, the small and skinny man immediately found his neck in the golem’s icy grasp.
He wanted to beg for mercy again, but unfortunately, that icy palm did not give him this chance.
His neck broke with a snap.
Mo Lian’s gaze when he looked at the golem was devoid of warmth. He reached out and recalled it without a word.
Tung looked up at His Highness the Crown Prince, who was cloaked in an oppressive atmosphere. He knelt on one knee and lowered his head. “This subordinate has failed and allowed that Great Master Chu to escape.”
A black lotus flower started smoldering in Mo Lian’s hand. He flicked it at the small and skinny man’s corpse, which subsequently got burnt away completely.
“Since someone wants to play, we can humor him ’till the end.”
“What is this, what are you doing??” A clamor came from behind Tung and his group.

Mo Lian turned around and looked at the detained royal guards that were being brought over.
The leader had a square and inflexible face. His expression stayed stern.
“Kneel!”
*Thud!* A kick forced the square-faced leader to the dirt on one knee.
“F*ck!” The royal guards beside him subsequently all got kicked to the ground, and started hurling curses.
