Chapter 257 Shameless Enough
"What should I do?"
"Be flexible. The telepathic reader may not be able to understand your thoughts, but the lie detector stone is not that easy to fool."
"Does the polygraph stone really work like this?"
"Of course, here, just like outside, there will also be people with bad intentions who steal other people's secrets, or evil elements who specialize in absorbing other people's spiritual energy for their own use. That's why Bai Yi has been so busy during this period that he can't even be seen." Huo Linzhou nodded and continued.
"Then what should we do? Otherwise, let's run away now. If we are detected by then, won't our whereabouts be exposed?" Fu Rao's eyes turned a few times and she came up with a bad idea.
"Why are you running? Don't forget that this is the Hidden Village, not the outside world. Also, don't forget the purpose of your coming here." Huo Linzhou glanced at her coldly.
He came here with important things to do, and there was no way he could leave until he finished them.
"What would happen if it was discovered that I stole the Spirit Gathering Stone?"
“Not very good. The Spirit Gathering Stone is a treasure, so if it is discovered who stole it, they will definitely be severely punished. The lighter punishment will be expelled from the Hidden World Village and never allowed to enter again; the heavier punishment will be to have their martial arts skills destroyed and be imprisoned for life.” Huo Linzhou said coldly.
"Life imprisonment?"
Fu Rao thought to herself that she didn't want to stay here forever. Compared to the outside world, she preferred the colorful world outside.
"So find a way to get through it later. If your spiritual energy is higher than the lie detector stone, then it doesn't matter even if you lie."
Huo Linzhou said lightly, no longer paying attention to Fu Rao, and fell into deep thought.
"Hurry up!" Si Yue stopped and glared at Fu Rao fiercely.
This woman is so ugly, why can she still attract Bai Yi's attention? Although she doesn't like Bai Yi that much, with the current power of the Bai family, if the Si family can marry him, it will be like adding wings to a tiger.
"We are not criminals. We are willing to follow you back to prove our innocence. You must understand this clearly."
After Fu Rao finished speaking, she ignored her and slowly followed the crowd with Huo Linzhou.
Originally there were only the two of them, but gradually more and more people followed them.
The hidden village and the back mountain are crowded with people at this time.
"The one above is the lie detector stone." Huo Linzhou said in a low voice.
There are two people standing next to each lie detector stone. Both of them are people with special abilities and can hear anyone's thoughts.
Bai Yi stood aside, and there were also people from the Bai family maintaining order here.
"Everyone, I believe you all know about the theft of the Soul Gathering Stone. Although the Soul Gathering Stone belongs to the Si family, it is beneficial to everyone in the Hidden World Village. Now that the Soul Gathering Stone has been stolen, it is a major event concerning the entire Hidden World Village, so we invite you here today, and we also ask you to assist us."
Bai Yi was dressed in a flowing white robe, and his voice carried the pressure that was unique to someone in a higher position.
As soon as he started talking, the noisy crowd suddenly became quiet.
"I believe you all know that the Soul Gathering Stone is extremely valuable, and the Soul Gathering Stone itself has a powerful gathering function. No matter when it was stolen, we will pursue the spiritual energy to find it. But since it was stolen, the Soul Gathering Stone disappeared in the entire Hidden World Village, without even a trace of spiritual energy, and now there is no trace of it."
"After many discussions, we have to temporarily inconvenience you and use the polygraph stone to verify. Please forgive me."
Bai Yi continued speaking, and everyone present could hear it clearly.
"For those who actively cooperate, we will give them a generous gift as compensation."
After Bai Yi finished speaking, a group of women in Hanfu came over one by one, holding plates.
"It's a magical medicine, it really is a magical medicine! We are willing to cooperate!"
There were exclamations from the crowd, and many people expressed their willingness to cooperate.
"What is that?" Fu Rao raised her eyebrows and asked Huo Linzhou.
"It's a primary spiritual medicine that can speed up their absorption of the surrounding spiritual energy." Huo Linzhou said lightly.
Obviously, he didn't take these things seriously.
"How does that compare to my Soul Gathering Pill?"
"These are all garbage, nothing compared to yours. This kind of spiritual medicine is only useful for beginners, that is, beginners. For people with special abilities, it can help them absorb the surrounding spiritual energy better, and improve their cultivation and special abilities at the same time."
"Oh." Fu Rao responded.
"Everyone, in order to find the Spirit Gathering Stone faster, the Si family also took out a top-grade Spirit Gathering Pill. This Spirit Gathering Pill is hundreds of times stronger than spiritual medicine. If anyone can find the Spirit Gathering Stone, this Spirit Gathering Pill will belong to him."
After Bai Yi finished speaking, everyone became even more excited!
Fu Rao rolled her eyes after hearing this.
That was her medicine, and they had the nerve to offer a reward for it. How shameless!
The people of the Si family are so shameless, you are invincible!
"That's your stuff, why did it end up in the hands of the Si family?" Huo Linzhou looked puzzled.
“They are shameless.”
The crowd erupted again.
"Okay, everyone, come one by one and line up. After the test, please come over here to get the spiritual medicine. Anyone who knows who stole the Spirit Gathering Stone can come over here. If it is confirmed that what you said is correct and the Spirit Gathering Stone is successfully found, then the Spirit Gathering Pill will be his."
As soon as Bai Yi finished speaking, everyone became excited again. Needless to say, one or two of them rushed forward to test it.
Fu Rao looked at the excited people coldly, listened to their answers one after another, looked at the polygraph stone that remained unchanged, and looked at those who passed the test running over excitedly to receive the elixir. She was speechless.
Those who rushed forward were all people who had nothing to do with the disappearance of the Soul Gathering Stone, so they were so excited and squeezed forward one by one. Those who had thought of the Soul Gathering Stone were at the end.
"It's your turn now. What are you doing in a daze?" Si Yue's voice rang in Fu Rao's ears again.
Fu Rao glanced at her coldly, walked forward, glanced at the two mind-reading psychics, and imitated the people next to her by placing her hand on the lie detector stone.
As soon as I put my hand on it, a cold breath came from the stone into my palm.
Fu Rao's eyes lit up instantly, her mind completely emptied, and her hands slowly absorbed the spiritual energy in the polygraph stone. There was so much spiritual energy in the polygraph stone.
"Where were you on the night the Soul Gathering Stone was stolen? What did you do? What is your real name?"
"I'm in Uncle Bai's villa, eating and sleeping. My name is A Rao." Fu Rao spoke lightly while absorbing spiritual energy.
It wasn’t until there was no spiritual energy left in her hands that she felt a little regretful.
She didn't lie. She went to the villa first, had dinner and slept before they started to act.
As Fu Rao spoke, she looked at the polygraph stone, and there was still no change on it.
It seems that this lie detector stone is similar to spiritual jade. It can absorb the spiritual energy inside and use it for its own benefit.
"The theft of the Spirit Gathering Stone has nothing to do with you. Did you steal it?"
"No, it has nothing to do with me, and I only heard about the theft the next day." Fu Rao continued. Anyway, this lie detector stone was useless.
