Chapter 378 The Manipulator and the Manipulated
Although most people present believed Si Li's passionate words.
But to Lin Hao, who had already guessed part of the story, he tasted a different flavor.
Lin Hao guessed that the reason why Si Li was so sure was probably because they had some way to prevent Shi from telling the truth.
He remembered that in the book, Si Li had always been Long Mohan's most trusted younger brother.
Although near the end, she betrayed Long Mohan for some unknown reason.
But it is undeniable that before that, Si Li had always considered Long Mohan wholeheartedly.
From this, we can guess that Si Li must be on the side of Tianji Pavilion.
Thinking of this, Lin Hao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It seems that we are destined to not find out the Tianji Pavilion and the people behind it today.
Sure enough, just as Lin Hao had guessed, no matter how much torture they used, Shi Ye's mouth remained shut.
It’s not that Shiye is so stubborn that he refuses to speak.
But he found that even if he wanted to speak, he couldn't say anything about the system.
Not only the system, but even some secrets of Tianji Pavilion were beyond his reach.
This also made Shi realize that the system might be in cahoots with the Tianji Pavilion!
The Pavilion Master's preferences are probably just for the sake of the system.
How ridiculous!
He thought he had kept it a secret all along, but he didn't expect that everything was seen by the people in Tianji Pavilion!
At this moment, no matter how much torture his body suffered, Shi Ye could not feel any pain.
The physical pain was far less painful than what he felt now that he knew the truth.
This is not to say that Shi Ye has deep feelings for Tianji Pavilion, but he has always believed that he, who holds the system, is the one who controls everyone.
But now I realize that I am the one being manipulated!
"Haha! My life is such a joke! I thought I was so smart but I was fooled for so many years!"
Amidst the constant torture and interrogation, the originally weak Shi Ye suddenly burst into laughter.
The people who were holding the execution tools in their hands looked at each other.
In their opinion, Shi Ye has gone completely crazy at this point, so is it necessary to continue this meaningless interrogation?
Just then, Ishiya stopped laughing.
He looked around at everyone around him, his eyes showing rare clarity and a hint of gloating.
"Not only me, but you too! All of you have been fooled! No one can escape!"
Lin Hao was slightly stunned.
When Shi Ye looked over, Lin Hao also noticed the clarity in his eyes, as well as the gloating that seemed to indicate that revenge would be taken soon, and for a moment he did not understand what the other party meant.
Lin Hao wanted to step forward and ask in detail, what exactly did Shi Ye mean by what he just said?
But before he could take a step, in the next second, Shi Ye spat out a mouthful of blood, fell to the ground, and was completely lifeless.
No one had recovered from the shock of Shi Ye suddenly going crazy and then dying.
Only Si Li walked forward calmly, but he looked around and could not find Shi Ye's natal magic weapon.
Si Li's eyes darkened. He originally wanted to see what was so special about Shi Ye's natal magic weapon that made his master specifically instruct him to bring it back.
But where are the magic weapons now?
After the master dies, shouldn't the magic weapon automatically appear from the dantian?
Could it be that it was taken away before Shi Ye died?
But who could it be?
At this time Si Li fixed his gaze on Lin Hao.
I heard that Shi was also captured by Zhang Ziqing and Lin Hao, so now it is basically certain that the Cang Yun ancient stick is in the hands of these two people!
Si Li stood up calmly, walked in front of Lin Hao, with a smile on his face, and stretched out his hand.
"Brother Lin, please return the things that belong to our Tianji Pavilion."
Si Li's tone was extremely firm, without any hesitation.
The others present began to whisper.
"Did Immortal Zining take something from the Tianji Pavilion?"
"Since Immortal Lord Mingli said it so confidently, it should be correct."
"Is Immortal Lord Zining so bold? He even stole things from the Tianji Pavilion."
Even if those people spoke in a low voice, some of it still reached his ears.
But facing these people's gossip, Lin Hao was not panicked at all. He had a gentle smile on his face and innocence in his eyes.
"I don't know when I stole the things from your Tianji Pavilion? Until now, I don't even know which direction the door of your Tianji Pavilion opens, so how did I steal the things?"
Seeing Lin Hao pretending to be ignorant even though he knew the truth, Si Li couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Still don’t know which direction the door of our Tianji Pavilion faces?
We didn't know who you were before, but you broke into our Tianji Pavilion at night. If I hadn't promised to conceal your identity, you would have been wanted by Master Tianji long ago!
Although he complained in his heart, Si Li had no intention of exposing Lin Hao.
He still had a smile on his face. When he smiled, he looked like a shrewd businessman, his eyes full of calculations, but not annoying.
"Of course it's the Cangyun Ancient Stick."
Lin Hao tilted his head and continued to play dumb: "But isn't that Shi Ye's thing? Since Shi Ye has been expelled from the sect, then his life-defining magic weapon should not be considered as something of your Tianji Pavilion, right?"
Si Li cursed inwardly: This Lin Hao really knows how to find loopholes in his words. But what he said is not wrong. However, he must take back the things that the master specifically told him to do!
Si Li kept smiling, "Brother Lin, are you admitting that you took the Cang Yun Ancient Staff?"
Lin Hao shrugged nonchalantly, "So what?"
The people around were in an uproar. They didn't expect that Lin Hao would admit it so frankly.
Si Li was not surprised. The facts were in front of him. Even if Lin Hao did not admit it, he could prove it!
"Since Junior Brother Lin has admitted it, please hand it over."
Lin Hao looked at Shi Sili and stretched out his hand without retracting it, but did not see any movement.
He looked relaxed, as if he was not the one being forced to hand over the magic weapon.
"This is the spoils I won, why should I give it to you?"
The smile on Si Li's face froze for a moment, then returned to normal, and he talked to Lin Hao in a good temper.
"This Cangyun Ancient Staff was forged by the Tianji Pavilion with great effort. Therefore, even if Shi was expelled from the sect, he must return it to the Tianji Pavilion."
Lin Hao nodded suddenly, "Oh, that's how it is."
Seeing that Lin Hao was in a good position, Si Li asked, "Then Junior Brother Lin, can you return the Cang Yun Ancient Staff to me?"
Lin Hao looked at Si Li seriously and sincerely. Just when Si Li felt that Lin Hao would agree, Lin Hao shook his head firmly.
"No."
Si Li's smile froze for a moment, "Why?"
