The crowd went into an uproar when they heard Lu Yin's words, and they all looked at him in shock.
Even the group of hedonistic disciples behind Lu Yin were shocked. They had been convinced of Lu Yin's abilities over the past few days, but the scene before them was still a little ridiculous. This girl was just a normal person.
"Hahaha, Captain Long, you must be joking. You're saying that I'm a spy?
I'm just a normal person who doesn't even have a cultivation. How can I be a spy?
And how can I gather information? "The girl laughed.
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "If I say you're a spy, then you're a spy." He then barked, "Capture her."
No one moved. Wang Yun had accumulated his power in the Yin Mountain District for a long time, and none of the hedonistic disciples dared to offend him.
The girl was pleased with herself.
Invisible Light walked out and waved her hand, using star energy to bind the girl and make her fall to the ground. The creature carrying her was uneasy, and it stared at Invisible Light before charging over.
However, it was frozen by Lu Yin's domain and could not move.
"Long Seven, you dare to capture me?
I'm Sister Yun's subordinate, and she won't let you off if she finds out! Don't even think about accusing me of being a spy! "The girl struggled as she screamed.
Lu Yin ignored her and took her away, leaving the crowd to discuss amongst themselves.
At this point, the five spies that Lu Yin had learned from Guan Yun's memories had all been uncovered. However, the Wine Master had not confessed, and the girl had persisted for three days until Wang Yun returned.
Within the prison, Wang Yun clenched his fists and glared at Lu Yin. In front of him was a helpless Zhuo Si, Uncle Kuai, and the white fatty hiding in a corner.
"If you don't give me an explanation, I'll let you know the consequences," Wang Yun said through gritted teeth. Behind him, the girl was covered in injuries, and her face was pale.
Lu Yin shrugged and turned around. "Uncle Kuai, did the Wine Master confess?"
Uncle Kuai nodded. "He did. He even told us about how he wet his bed when he was young."
"How long did he last?"
"Two and a half days."
Lu Yin grunted in acknowledgment and then looked at Wang Yun. "The Wine Master is an Enlighter, but he was able to last two and a half days under Quickie Uncle's methods. This woman with no cultivation, your adopted sister, lasted three days without saying a word."
Wang Yun was stunned, but then his expression changed.
Zhuo Si and the white fatty trembled.
Who was Fast Uncle?
He was one of the few interrogators in the Central Realm, and as long as someone was interrogated by him, even if they had been wrongly accused, they would still have to tell him everything that had happened according to his wishes. Even an Enlighter's willpower could not withstand his interrogation, so how could a normal person withstand it?
Interrogation wasn't just about extorting a confession. It also included all kinds of methods. No matter how strong an ordinary person's will was, their body wouldn't be able to withstand it. However, that young girl had lasted for three days.
When the young girl heard this, her face turned even paler. She had actually overlooked this.
Uncle Kuai was very proud of himself. No ordinary person could last the time it took for a stick of incense to burn under his hands, let alone three days.
Wang Yun wasn't stupid. He also understood what was going on. He turned around and stared at the young lady in disbelief.
The young girl looked at Wang Yun with a blurry face and gasped for breath. "Sister … Sister Yun, I didn't do it. I'm not a spy. I'm not."
Wang Yun clenched her fists as her chest heaved up and down. She recalled the times she spent with the young girl. She treated the young girl like a little sister and told her everything. If she was a spy, it would be a huge problem for her.
Even if he wasn't a spy, so what if he really relied on his extraordinary willpower to hold on for three days?
It didn't matter if others didn't believe him. Everyone would believe Long Qi's words, and she would be used as an idiot.
Wang Yun's eyes flashed with killing intent.
The young girl saw this and struggled violently. "Sister Yun, don't kill me! I didn't do it! I'm not a spy! Don't kill me!"
Lu Yin suddenly stood in front of the young girl and stared straight at Wang Yun.
Everyone could see that Wang Yun wanted to silence the young girl.
Zhuo Four was lazy and didn't stop her. It didn't matter if there was one more spy or one less spy. He wouldn't argue with Wang Yun over such a small matter. This woman had a strong background.
The white fatty didn't say a word and just watched.
Wang Yun stared at Lu Yin and narrowed her eyes.
Lu Yin stared at her for a while and then stepped aside.
Wang Yun raised her brows.
Lu Yin smiled. "Perhaps there's never been such a person in Yinshan City."
Wang Yun's eyes flashed.
The young girl was shocked. "No, I don't want to die! Sister Yun, don't kill me! You have to protect me! I can help you find other spies! I can help you-" Before she could finish speaking, Wang Yun's finger pierced through her neck.
Fresh blood flowed down the back of her neck and dyed the ground red.
The young girl's eyes were lifeless and filled with unwillingness, but she still died under the torture in front of Lu Yin's eyes.
Wang Yun's eyes flashed with pity, but she took a deep breath and looked at Lu Yin. "I owe you a favor." She then turned and left.
The young girl had finally admitted to being a spy, and Lu Yin hadn't wrongly accused her. Instead, he had allowed Wang Yun to dispose of her so that Wang Yun wouldn't be ridiculed. Even if Lu Yin was the cause of all this, she still had to accept this favor and repay it.
Zhuo Four looked at Lu Yin deeply. This person's appearance had changed the Yin Mountain District, but he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
The white fatty hurriedly left as this place was eerie.
In the end, only Lu Yin, Obscurely, and Quickie were left behind.
Lu Yin smiled at Quickie. "Thank you, senior."
Quickie laughed. "It's nothing. It's just a trick. It's also an interrogation method."
Actually, the Wine Master hadn't confessed, but in order to trick the young girl and fool Wang Yun, Lu Yin and Quickie had worked together to put on a show. The results had been pretty good; Wang Yun had revealed his killing intent when he realized that the young girl might be a spy, and he had forced her to confess. In the end, he had even owed Lu Yin a favor.
The young girl had pointed out other spies, but no one had cared. There were too many spies, and Lu Yin didn't lack one or two. Wang Yun's favor, however, was different.
Wang Yun had wanted to silence her, but Zhuo Four and the rest hadn't reacted at all. In that moment, Lu Yin had confirmed that Wang Yun's background was even greater than what the white fatty had said. Even Zhuo Four was apprehensive.
They had captured four spies in Yinshan City and shaken the Nine Gates of the Middle Realm, but the young girl had pretended not to exist.
Spies were far less valuable than redbacks, but they weren't insignificant either. Commoners still had the most missions to capture spies every day, and there were almost no redbacks. Redbacks hid themselves deeper and had greater influence, making them more difficult to capture.
Capturing four spies in a row was enough for Long Seven's name to spread to the other Commoners. Although it wasn't enough to attract the attention of the Nine Gates' superintendent, this merit was still real.
Lu Yin's testimony and evidence were all complete. The Commoners were very efficient. Three days after the young girl's death, Lu Yin was summoned by Zhuo Four, who gave him four merit points. The Wine Master had already confessed two days ago, and the young girl, just as Lu Yin had said, had never existed. He had just treated it as a mistake.
"You've only been in the Commoners for two months, but you've already made contributions and earned four merit points. That's pretty good. Keep up the good work," Zhuo Four encouraged.
Lu Yin respectfully replied, "I'll have to ask for your guidance."
Zhuo Four couldn't help but laugh. "You're too slippery, kid. What's there for me to take care of you? However, the main branch of the White Dragon Clan has treated you well and helped you so much. If you want to retire with just four merit points, it's still not enough. It's best if you can capture a redback. Anyone who captures a redback will be given special attention by the Commoners."
Lu Yin blinked. It seemed that Zhuo Four thought that he had captured these people because the White Dragon Clan had provided him with information. That was fine, he would let him misunderstand.
"I understand. I'll work hard," Lu Yin said.
Zhuo Four nodded. "The four merit points are the reward for capturing them. The Yin Mountain District will reward you with an additional point."
Lu Yin was grateful. "Thank you, Sect Master." With this, he would have enough merit points to exchange for the Medal of Righteousness.
The Commoners were similar to the Hall of Honor in that they could exchange merit points for rewards. One of the rewards was called the Medal of Righteousness. This medal didn't have any practical use and was more like a facade. Anyone who had it represented that they had made contributions in the Commoners.
Lu Yin didn't need any other rewards as he had plenty of them. Money wasn't something that he craved, but the Medal of Righteousness was something that he greatly desired. With it, he could at least make Bai Shaohong feel a little more apprehensive.
"Five merit points can be exchanged for a reward. What would you like to exchange for?
The Yin Mountain District doesn't have it, but I can get it from other Commoners or directly from the Superintendent, "Zhuo Four said.
Lu Yin didn't hesitate. "The Medal of Righteousness."
Zhuo Four's eyes lit up. "Smart." He seemed to have been prepared for this as he raised his hand and handed over a medal with a blurry head to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin accepted it. "Thank you, Sect Master."
"The Medal of Righteousness represents that you have contributed to the Humble Class. Many people like to wear it to show off, but for you, it's a very good life-saving item. With it, normal schemes and schemes won't be able to touch you. And above the Medal of Righteousness is the Medal of the Tree. If you can obtain it, you can request an audience with the Nine Gates Superintendent. If you die, the Humble Class will investigate. Do your best," Zhuo Si reminded him.
Lu Yin knew about the Medal of the Tree. It was similar to having eleven Honor Points, and the cause of death would be investigated. Even if there was irrefutable evidence, the Commoners would go through it again. This was a precious item that could truly negate Bai Shaohong's schemes. Unfortunately, the Medal of the Tree required ten Medals of Righteousness to exchange for.
This was one of the reasons why Lu Yin wanted to exchange for the Medal of Righteousness. Although it was a little far off, it wasn't impossible.
Huaiyuan was south of the Yin Mountain District, and it was the border between the Yin Mountain District and the Mother Tree's trunk.
The Bifrost Bridge wasn't the only path from the Middle Realm to the Top Realm. There were also ways to ascend the trunk, so Huaiyuan's location was special.
The Humble School of Huaiyuan was naturally one of the more important Nine Gates of the Middle Realm.
At this moment, the three Guan brothers were sitting in silence within the Humble School of Huaiyuan.
Guan Yun threw his cup to the ground with a thud. "That Draconic Seven is too hateful. It wasn't easy for us to develop our spies, but he took out five of them in one go."
"Shut up!" Guan Tong barked, glaring at Guan Yun.
Guan Yun snorted.
Guan Hai frowned. "Third Brother, I told you not to be too obvious. Those five spies have nothing to do with us."
Guan Tong glared at Guan Yun before turning to Guan Hai. "How did Draconic Seven find out?
Those people don't know each other, and there's no connection. Only the three of us know their identities, so it's almost impossible to find them all at once. "
