Mu Xi sized up Jing Yan, and Jing Yan did the same to Mu Xi.
At the same time, Jing Yan was guessing what kind of character Qian Bo really was!
For the Vice Hall Master to make the trip personally, it was definitely out of the ordinary!
"Jing Yan," Mu Xi paused before asking, "did you kill Outer Court High-level Student Qian Bo in the Dao Yi Academy's Setting Sun Valley?"
"Yes, but I acted in self-defense. It wasn't me who started the trouble," Jing Yan said.
"It's good that you admit it. Now you need to come with me back to the Dao Yi Academy's Criminal Punishment Hall for an investigation. Let's go!" Mu Xi stood up, ready to take Jing Yan away immediately.
"Jing Yan, make sure to cooperate with the investigation. If you're innocent in the end, the Alchemist Association will still welcome you back," Xu Dong said with a sardonic smile.
In fact, he couldn't wait for the Criminal Punishment Hall to execute Jing Yan—how could he possibly welcome him back?
