Chapter 121 Post-match Interrogation
Nian Zhi, who was knocked out of the field, fell to the ground. She wanted to stand up with her arms, but she fell back after trying many times, and blood came out of her mouth.
The arbitrator disciple on the sidelines seemed to be dumbfounded and was slow to announce the result. Lu Zhaozhao looked at him. The competition had just ended, and his sharp eyes had not yet faded. The disciple shuddered in fear, and he immediately reacted and announced the result.
"Second round, first test, Emperor Huizong of Qing, Lu Zhaozhao, wins!"
With the final announcement, Lu Zhaozhao slowly walked off the stage and stood in front of Nian Zhi.
Looking down from above, Nian Zhi was completely in her sight. Her mind suddenly became dazed, and another scene appeared in her eyes. It was exactly the same scene as the current one, except that the roles were reversed, and it was Lu Zhaozhao who fell to the ground.
She saw Lu Zhaozhao looking up, his eyes full of resentment, and in front of her, it was Nian Zhi looking up, his eyes full of hatred.
After years of hard training, at this moment, Lu Zhaozhao seemed to see the dawn, and she seemed to have found a crack to break this deadlock.
"You won, what else do you want to do? Taunt the loser?"
Nian Zhi coughed up a pool of blood and spoke unwillingly.
Lu Zhaozhao lowered her head. She thought that she should be happy, but for no reason, she felt a sense of sympathy.
Without thinking too much, she stretched out her hand. Nian Zhi subconsciously dodged, but Lu Zhaozhao grabbed her arm.
A force came and lifted Nian Zhi up steadily. She was immediately stunned, not understanding Lu Zhaozhao's behavior.
Lu Zhaozhao was also a little surprised when she reacted. She didn't know why she thought and did this just now. Perhaps, she wanted to help not only Nian Zhi, but also the "Lu Zhaozhao" she had never met.
She saw Yun Xian in the stands being asked to leave, and many faces were missing from the audience. It seemed that the moves they two performed on the court were really out of the ordinary.
But so what? Yun Xian was blocking the way anyway. Lu Zhaozhao just wanted to go back and have a good rest at this moment. It was not just the fatigue that came from his muscles, but more from the depths of his soul.
Ignoring Nian Zhi who was standing there, Lu Zhaozhao walked away from the arena. When passing by her, Nian Zhi seemed to want to say something, but she didn't say it in the end. She just turned around and looked deeply at the receding figure.
At this time, two people had changed their positions on the field, and the spectators around them also turned their attention to the next group.
The hustle and bustle formed a sharp contrast with the quiet outside, and in the middle, stood Nian Zhi.
Lu Zhaozhao stretched her arms as she walked, looking forward to going back and having a good rest, but the appearance of a disciple broke her thoughts.
The dream rest did not come true after all.
She quietly looked at the elders standing by the hall. Each of them was a well-known figure in the world of cultivation. At this moment, they all set their eyes on her, the junior.
"Lu Zhaozhao of the Qing Huizong." Qingsongzi spoke in a low voice, his tone undeniably majestic. "Where did you learn the Wuxiang Jue and the Sanskrit sound of breaking the cocoon that you just performed on the field?"
Lu Zhaozhao lowered his eyes and chuckled: "If you ask my master about this kind of thing, he should know more."
Qingsongzi frowned, and the Master Bu Lu who was sitting behind the screen behind him also frowned, which made Master Bai Yuan who was standing next to him nervous for no reason.
"You mean, Yun Xian taught you these privately?"
A beautiful woman next to Qingsongzi asked the question. Lu Zhaozhao looked at her and saw that it was Xian Ji, the leader of Tianyin Sect.
Seeing Lu Zhaozhao lowering his head and not answering, she became a little angry and slammed the table, sending wood chips flying everywhere. One of the chips scratched Lu Zhaozhao's neck, leaving a bloody mark.
Lu Zhaozhao reached out and touched her neck, and the sticky touch made her frown.
"I am reckless. I wonder if the Qing Emperor Huizong knows that you seniors brought me here."
"Are you threatening me?" Xian Ji raised his eyebrows and looked coldly at the disciple in front of him who was ignorant of the danger.
Lu Zhaozhao still stiffened his neck and said nothing.
"Okay, calm down. Your temper has become more and more irritable over the years." Qingsongzi came out to smooth things over. He looked at Lu Zhaozhao. This female cultivator looked thin, but she seemed to have a very tough temper.
"Lu Zhaozhao, you'd better explain everything clearly. Yun Xian can't escape responsibility for what happened. Don't even think about counting on him to protect you."
Xian Ji's voice was still stern, but he was concerned about Qingsongzi and didn't speak again after saying this.
Lu Zhaozhao stood in the center of the hall with a sullen look in her eyes. The influence of Zen Buddhism seemed more serious than she had imagined. She hadn't thought Yun Xian would come to protect her. Since she was brought here, Nian Zhi must have been taken elsewhere for interrogation as well.
For now, she could only hold on and not give in.
It was obvious that Yun Xian was the instigator of this matter, but Lu Zhaozhao gained enlightenment in the dream she had in the back mountain a thousand years ago. She couldn't say it out loud, and no one would believe that there was still a big devil from a thousand years ago who was alive. But he did nothing while alive, and instead found a young disciple with little cultivation, and helped her improve her cultivation. If she said this out loud, I'm afraid everyone would think she was crazy.
He could only deny it and wait for Nian Zhi to give up first, or for Yun Xian to be unable to bear it anymore and take the responsibility himself.
The atmosphere was deadlocked. Lu Zhaozhao didn't say anything. Even if she did, her words were just meaningless and nothing could be asked. But they couldn't interrogate her like a criminal, so everyone present felt a little embarrassed.
After a while, a disciple hurried in from outside and said something in Qingsongzi's ear. Qingsongzi nodded, and he walked towards the screen behind Qingsongzi.
Only then did Lu Zhaozhao realize that there was someone behind him. For a moment, cold sweat soaked his inner clothes.
I'm afraid the only one who can hide behind these people is that person.
She suddenly thought that before Master Bai Yuan became famous for his interrogation skills, Master Bu Lu's interrogation skills had been famous and terrifying for the past hundred years. It was only as he faded from sight that this reputation gradually disappeared.
She couldn't help but be glad that she hadn't said much just now, and was also glad that the words she had said were ambiguous and it was difficult to tell whether they were true or false.
The disciple came out from behind the screen and whispered something in Qingsongzi's ear. Qingsongzi winked at the people beside him and said to Lu Zhaozhao, "Forget it. It's against the rules to bring you here suddenly today. You can go back now."
Xian Ji looked at her coldly, snorted and said nothing more.
Knowing that the focus of this matter would no longer fall on her, Lu Zhaozhao breathed a sigh of relief, saluted them, and slowly left the hall.
As soon as she went out, Master Bai Yuan caught up with her from behind and walked side by side with her without saying a word.
Lu Zhaozhao glanced at him without saying anything, but just walked in one direction.
