He had clearly come straight to the private room and seen everything, yet still asked first. The lead law enforcement disciple looked anxious.
"That's me."
Long Chen spoke. In fact, he already knew the purpose of this group of law enforcement disciples.
He had just beaten Pan Mingxiong when the law enforcement disciples arrived. The timing was off, so even if Pan Mingxiong went to complain, it wouldn't have been so soon.
The law enforcement disciples came looking for him, and the reason was already obvious: it was definitely about Long Chen smashing the flying boat. Judging by the timing, it matched perfectly.
"Well, Mentor Long Chen, let's make it clear in advance: I'm just here to gather information, not to target you.
So, if there's anything offended with your words, I hope you won't mind. I'm just here to run errands. The law enforcement disciple looked at Long Chen, his eyes clearly filled with fear, and forced himself to speak.
Long Chen destroyed the flying boat, causing hundreds of people inside to be seriously injured, some with their bones shattered—a truly brutal scene.
Those people reported Long Chen to the Discipline Institute, and the elder on duty was the one Long Chen had slapped.
This elder had just been slapped by Long Chen and was burning with anger, thinking of some way to kill Long Chen and vent his anger.
Coincidentally, Elder Tianlei returned to the Divine Academy and sowed discord, saying many bad things about Long Chen, subtly pointing out that Long Chen was acting on the Pill Institute's orders to cause trouble and deliberately humiliate the Divine Institute.
Just as he wished, the relationship between the Divine Academy and the Alchemy Institute was already poor, and Elder Shenlei, with his fiery temper, lost his temper on the spot and stormed off to find Long Chen.
But not long after, Elder Shenlei returned. Before he could ask about the situation over there, Elder Shenlei kicked him flying, blood gushing wildly, and he nearly fainted.
Elder Shenlei then said, "Next time you treat me like a fool and I'll slap you to death." The
Discipline Elder, having been beaten so badly that his internal organs were dislocated, quickly took some pills to suppress his injuries.
Sneaking around and nearly driving him crazy—Long Chen had used some kind of evil magic to become brothers with Elder Shenlei.
When he heard the news, the Elder of Discipline spat out a mouthful of old blood and fainted on the spot.
A disciple quickly helped him up, gave him a pill, and after sleeping for over an hour, he finally slowly woke up.
As soon as he woke up, a disciple came to report that someone had accused Long Chen and had smashed the flying boat, maliciously injuring people and nearly killing everyone on board.
If he hadn't been kicked by Elder Shenlei, he would have jumped up excitedly, but now he was afraid. Elder Qixing was not to be trifled with, Elder Shenlei was not to be provoked, and Long Chen, this disaster star, was something he didn't want to provoke anymore.
Originally, because of certain connections, he was supposed to side with them, but now he was starting to feel afraid.
He had planned to feign illness and not come out, but if he did, the news of being kicked out by Elder Shenlei would fly out, which would be a disgrace to the lord.
After much hesitation, he decided to send someone to test Long Chen's intentions first, investigate the whole situation, and then decide how to throw out this hot potato.
He only needed to delay for a few days, and when another elder took over, he could quit and watch the drama.
But when he sent the law enforcement disciples to interrogate Long Chen, all the disciples' faces turned green. What kind of existence was Long Chen? Killing without blinking—who would interrogate him? How is that any different from courting death?
If you do it well, you get slapped twice; if not, you lose your life. No one dares to take this job.
In the end, the task fell to the man in front of him, and he couldn't refuse, because that elder was his master. If he didn't come, he wouldn't be able to get by in the Divine Academy in the future, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and come. His expression was almost on the verge of tears.
The other law enforcement disciples stood far behind him, seemingly hesitant to approach Long Chen.
"It's fine, just ask whatever you want. Actually, I have a pretty good temper." Long Chen said calmly.
Good temper? The law enforcement disciple's expression was strange. This ghost story was way too scary.
Seeing the law enforcement disciples' trembling demeanor and glancing at Long Chen's calm expression, Mu Qingyun and the others almost burst out laughing. Who's really interrogating whom in this situation?
Because of their status, the law enforcement disciples were all very arrogant. Although they didn't proactively cause trouble, they were cold and domineering, speaking in the tone of an interrogator.
Although he was still polite to Mu Qingyun and the others, he was much less pleasant to others. In fact, law enforcement disciples were not well received in the Divine Academy, giving off the impression of someone borrowing their might and treating a feather as an arrow.
Today, seeing them interrogate Long Chen, he was so scared he broke out in a sweat. The contrast was truly amusing. The Zhong sisters, Zhong Ling and Zhong Xiu, had no idea how hard they were holding it in.
The law enforcement disciple took out a notebook and said cautiously, "The hunting squad says Mentor Long Chen wants to kill them. Personally, I definitely don't believe such accusations."
Our Discipline Institute doesn't listen to biased beliefs, so we'd like to hear your story. Would it be convenient for you to share your thoughts?" "
Did they mention why they hit and killed our flying mount?" Long Chen asked.
"They said it was due to operational errors; it was all a misunderstanding." The law enforcement disciple hurriedly said.
"A misunderstanding?" Yes, actually, this whole thing was just a misunderstanding. Long Chen nodded and smiled.
"This ... What does that mean? "The disciple asked.
"Here's what happened: we were riding a flying celestial beast, and suddenly something rushed out trying to kill us.
Luckily, I was quick and escaped, or I would have been killed. Think about it—if someone killed you, would you fight back? "
Yes," the disciple nodded.
"Yes, my first reaction was that an intruder had broken into the academy and started murdering people.
Then I fought back. After I finished my blow, Senior Sister Qingyun told me it was the Divine Academy's hunting flying boat.
But by then, everything was over, so they said it was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved and no one has suffered much loss, the matter is settled. Long Chen said generously.
No losses at all? The law enforcement disciples wore strange expressions. They had seen the hunting squad disciples before—some were severely injured, nearly twisted into twisted meat patties and nearly lost their lives. How could that be called no loss?
"Is there anything else you want to ask? If not, then let's eat. How about you sit down and eat together? Long Chen said.
"No, no, I won't keep you any longer. You go ahead and get busy. I'll head back to report now." The disciple hurriedly said.
He could see through it too—this was clearly the hunting squad stirring up trouble, and it ended up hitting a brick wall.
The hunting squad couldn't admit they had deliberately rammed someone, and Long Chen pretended not to recognize the squad's flying boat, insisting it was an intruder—no one could do anything about it.
In this way, it would inevitably be a smooth outcome. After all, he already had a general understanding of the situation. As for making the final decision, it still depended on the decision of the Elder of Discipline. After all, his business was settled, he didn't get beaten, and he was already enjoying a high blessing.
