Chapter 805: [616] 10 billion, bounty for the Demon King (thanks to Lingxian for the reward and support) Chapter 805: [616] 10 billion, bounty for the Demon King (thanks to Lingxian for the reward and support) We talked about everything and nothing.
The conversation ranged from the elite class to the Hall of Myriad Images, before finally coming to the startling events of the previous night.
As one of the precursors to last night’s assassination attempt, Ji Wutian found himself bombarded with questions.
“You all know about Brother Luo Zehu…”
“Brother Luo killed Lin Shentian? That’s almost inconceivable if you say it out loud.” One of the girls, seeming to have some connection with Luo Zehu, expressed her doubts hesitantly, “Brother Luo isn’t that kind of person, right?”
“I also feel it couldn’t have been Brother Luo,” Ji Wutian quickly stated, “It’s just rumors. To suppress Lin Shentian—to do that, you would need to be at least Extraordinary Eighth Rank, right?”
While everyone was discussing fervently, Ji Yuyan tugged on Pei Jinye’s clothes, “Old Pei, I spoke with my family. The Lin Family didn’t discover anything out of the ordinary last night, and now Luo Zehu is being investigated. I figure you guys will probably be questioned as a routine procedure.”
Pei Jinye nodded his head.
As they were speaking,
Someone pushed the room door open from the outside.
Two vigorous-looking young men entered and looked around.
“Who are you looking for?” A male student frowned and inquired, sitting by the round table near the door.
The two young men stood still without moving.
Finally, the one on the left spoke in a deep voice, “Pei Jinye, Ji Wutian, please come with us—we’re from the Dragon City Arbitration Office.”
As the last words were spoken, what was initially a somewhat noisy private room fell silent.
Pei Jinye stood up first, “Let’s go.”
Ji Wutian appeared somewhat helpless, “This is really bad luck.”
“Pei Jinye…” As Ji Yuyan seemed about to say something, she looked a bit aggrieved, “Sorry, I must’ve jinxed it.”
Pei Jinye shook his head; on the contrary, Ji Wutian put an arm around his shoulder, turning to Ji Yuyan and the others, “The innocent need not worry. Oh, and remember to inform the dean.”
The two from the Arbitration Office, apparently aware of Lin Xiuxian’s big name, did not look too happy as they said, “We just want to understand the situation from you. If your conscience is clear, we naturally won’t do anything to you.”
Ji Wutian followed Pei Jinye with a smile on his face, joking around.
After the four left,
Inside the room,
