Chapter 187: Revealing the Truth
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“I believe in Prince Qitian’s ability to reveal the truth.”
Fine, they wanted him to resolve the mess.
Qitian Yu was left with no choice because the other party insisted. He arched his hand, stood up, and with a toe point, he leaped over the fence. His wide robe unfolded, and he landed lightly on the stage like a startled swan.
“I pay my respects to His Highness, the Prince!” Gu Zhicheng had an official position in the court, so he was a subject in front of the prince.
But as a Saint, he didn’t need to kneel and only greeted by bowing his head.
Gu Zhixin knelt in front of the prince and said, “Your Highness, please do justice for our family. This wicked woman is truly cruel! And this… kid poisoned my son during the selection, causing him to lose all his arcane power and lose the match. It’s despicable and cruel. We cannot tolerate it!”
Qitian Yu looked surprised at Gu Jinrong lying on the ground. “Lost all arcane power?”
Earlier, Gu Jinyue accused Gu Xiaonan of poisoning, and they were doubtful.
But if Gu Jinrong had really lost his arcane power, then her accusation would be true.
The Qiankun Academy not only selected talented people but also valued their character.
If someone violated the rules during the competition and poisoned their opponents, even if they won first place, the Qiankun Academy would reject them and never admit them.
Qitian Yu turned to look at Gu Xiaonan, and deep down he sighed in regret.
He had a bright future ahead, but now he might easily walk the wrong path.
As more voices of resistance sounded, people heard Gu Zhixin’s words in astonishment.
Did Gu Xiaonan really poison Gu Jinrong?
And the poison caused him to lose all his arcane power?
No wonder such a young child was so formidable.
Did he rely on poisoning to reach the final match?
If that was the case, they must disqualify him!
He didn’t deserve to be in the top three or to become a student of the Qiankun Academy.
Gu Zhicheng opened his mouth several times but held back.
He wanted to repair the relationship with Gu Qingluan, but today she had disappointed him too much.
He had wanted to repair his relationship with Gu Qingluan, but today this girl had greatly disappointed him. She actually condoned her son’s harm to their own clan and even used such poisonous means against her cousin.
What Qiner said was not without reason.
Gu Qinluan treated the second branch with such ruthlessness, wouldn’t she do the same to their main branch?
Today, whether it was her or Gu Xiaonan, neither should expect to leave unscathed!
If Qingluan pleaded with him, he could consider speaking up for her.
With two injured people on the field, Qitian Yu called the imperial physician to come and treat them.
Then the interrogation began.
Since it was a selection competition, Qitian Yu naturally first asked Gu Xiaonan, who was suspected of poisoning.
“Gu Xiaonan, do you have any defense?”
Gu Xiaonan’s face showed no panic. “I didn’t poison anyone.”
“If you didn’t poison him, why would my son have no arcane power in his body? And why can’t he speak, unable to admit defeat? Were you trying to beat him to death?” Gu Zhixin questioned with resentment.
Not knowing whether his son’s arcane power could be restored, if it couldn’t, his son’s promising future would be ruined!
Gu Xiaonan sneered. “How would I know? Maybe he saw he couldn’t beat me and deliberately poisoned himself to frame me?”
“Hah, nonsense! You…”
Before he finished speaking, a white shadow flashed past him.
Gu Zhixin vaguely recognized it as Gu Xiaonan’s pet, heading towards Gu Jinrong!
He quickly turned his head to stop it. “Little beast, get out of here!”
The arcane power he swung out was easily blocked by Gu Qingluan.
Xiao Bai jumped to Gu Jinrong’s chest and raised its little paw.
Tear!
The sound of tearing silk echoed as the finely made brocade robe was ripped apart.
Thud!
A bottle rolled to the ground.
Seeing the porcelain bottle that fell out, Gu Jinyue widened her eyes and lunged forward, wanting to grab it.
Whoosh!
A green light shot out.
The bottle lifted off the ground.
It was a green-feathered parrot!
