At night, the cicadas outside the window were chirping one after another, the wind was slowly beating on the window lattice, and the oil in the coal lamp had long since burned out, but the incense still surrounded the room.
Chu Qing, who was lying on the bed, remembered what the mythical beast had said before, and his heart became more and more irritable. He couldn't help but light the lamp and took a sip of tea.
The troublemaker at the front said that his sacred beast spirit core was missing and was handed over to the mercenary camp, but the thief behind said that he had stolen it.
But…
"What kind of medicine is this thief selling in his gourd?" Chu Qing couldn't help but become more solemn when he thought of this, and his brows couldn't help but wrinkled, "No! I want to take a look at this thief."
Chu Qing hurriedly patted his trousers, quickly put on the clothes at hand, and rushed to the place where the thief was imprisoned. He could see a bit of solemnity on his face.
"Are you still talking?"
"Did not say."
Before Chu Qing entered the prison, he could already hear the guards whipping the thief and interrogating him.
What caught Chu Qing's eyes was a man whose flesh and blood were blurred. Even if he couldn't see clearly, he could still vaguely identify the previous edges and corners on his face.
Blood was dripping down drop by drop, and the blood on the ground had already solidified into blood clots.
Seeing this, Chu Qing's eyes flashed with confusion.
This thief has been beaten like this, and he still doesn't say anything. It is conceivable that the other party is determined to confront him.
The sound of whipping still lingered in Chu Qing's ears.
Maybe it was because the sound of the guard's whipping was relatively loud, so he didn't hear Chu Qing's footsteps. When he saw Chu Qing's figure, he couldn't help but be shocked: "Master Chu, he won't even say anything about this thief until he dies."
"Go down." Chu Qing, with a solemn face, looked at the bloody man in front of him, then uttered a word lightly and ordered the guards to go down.
"yes"
The footsteps became quieter and quieter until no sound could be heard.
The surroundings were deathly quiet.
The thief seemed to notice something unusual, so he couldn't help but open his eyes and look around, only to realize that the person in front of him was not the guard just now, but Chu Qing!
He couldn't help but take a breath.
After all, the previous guard just whipped himself, but the Chu Qing in front of him didn't know what methods of interrogating him he had in mind.
"Okay, I won't say any more nonsense. I just want to ask about the situation of the divine beast's spiritual core."
Chu Qing's deep eyes kept staring at the bloody thief in front of him, his eyes filled with the meaning that could not be refused.
"Then you are right. I won't say anything to save you from wasting your saliva and talking useless nonsense." The thief looked at Chu Qing in front of him expressionlessly.
Chu Qing and his eyes met for a second, and then the thief looked away from Chu Qing's eyes.
Chu Qing couldn't feel what the thief was thinking, but he could only feel that he couldn't get much out of this torture.
Thinking of this, Chu Qing's expression couldn't help but become serious, and he couldn't help but look up at the thief in front of him.
He had been beaten to a bloody pulp by the guards, and a normal person would have vomited when he saw this.
"It seems like you won't say anything anymore, and I don't want to waste any more words." Chu Qing patted his trousers and pretended to be ready to leave.
When the thief saw Chu Qing preparing to leave, a trace of joy appeared on his face.
"But, I want to ask you a question, how did you know that I have the Elder Scroll?" Chu Qing changed the topic and stared at him with a pair of deep eyes.
Chu Qing knew that the Ancient Scroll had been known to others, but Chu Qing was confused as to how the thief in front of him knew that he had the Ancient Scroll. After all, he would keep such a rare thing well hidden.
