Zhang Ping stared at Guan Hongying and asked seriously, "Did Li Aoxue kill innocent people indiscriminately? Does she like killing people like a cat playing with a mouse?"
"How is that possible? Your Majesty has great ambitions. How could he do something that is completely useless?" Guan Hongying directly denied.
Zhang Ping then recounted Liu Sishan's experience in general, and then said, "I believe my sister did not lie, so how do you explain it?"
"Impossible. When did she meet His Majesty?"
Although Guan Hongying didn't like the cleaning team obstructing Li Aoxue's plan, she actually had a very high opinion of Zhang Ping.
She knew very well that Zhang Ping couldn't lie about such a thing.
Therefore she must prove Li Aoxue's innocence.
"About what time?"
Zhang Ping frowned slightly. He had a good memory and he remembered Liu Sishan saying that it only took her one year to advance from a primary awakener to an intermediate awakener.
She also said that when she and her master encountered Li Aoxue, she was still an intermediate awakener and therefore could not do anything.
Mingzhu Ability College is a public college, and all its funds are allocated by the City Lord's Mansion.
Most students start school at the age of 8 and undergo 10 years of cultural studies and physical training, but many geniuses graduate early.
Liu Sishan also started school at the age of 8. She is 3 years older than Zhang Ping.
By the time Zhang Ping started school at the age of 8, she had already graduated early. She was 11 years old at that time.
In other words, she became an intermediate awakener at the age of 12.
Zhang Ping is now 17 years old, and Liu Sishan is 3 years older than him, which means he is 20 years old.
Based on this calculation, Liu Sishan should have been an intermediate awakener about eight years ago.
The problem is that Zhang Ping doesn't know when Liu Sishan advanced to a high-level awakener. Liu Sishan must have stayed at the intermediate level for quite a long time, so it is impossible for him to advance in just one year.
"It was probably about eight to three or four years ago." Zhang Ping said a little uncertainly.
Guan Hongying frowned and said, "With such a long time span, I can't give you an answer, but I believe that Your Majesty will never do such a heartless thing. Maybe... it's her enemy who is impersonating her. I will tell Your Majesty about this. If we can meet again one day, I will give you an answer!"
"Okay, I'll wait for your answer. Then... I'll collect some useful materials from the corpse-eating ape, and then I'll leave first. Please be careful." Zhang Ping was not disappointed. After all, the time he provided was indeed too long.
Even if Guan Hongying was Li Aoxue's confidant, it was impossible for her to be with Li Aoxue for eight years and know Li Aoxue's every move.
"Is there really someone pretending to be Li Aoxue? Isn't this the common whitewashing in novels?"
Zhang Ping walked to the side of the corpse-eating ape, ready to collect materials that could be used from it, but he was still thinking about Liu Sishan.
He believed that Liu Sishan did not lie, but he could also see that Guan Hongying did not lie either.
People like Guan Hongying are very easy to understand. She has a fiery temper, a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and tends to be straightforward, so the possibility of her lying is extremely low.
Of course, Zhang Ping didn't completely believe her words, maybe about 60%.
