Chen Mobai hesitated briefly, but eventually decided to accompany Qing Nu to the Law Enforcement Department.

He was just briefly questioned about his relationship with Qing Nu and about what medicine he usually buys from the Evergreen Pharmacy, before being politely invited to the waiting room.

However, Qing Nu’s interrogation took much longer. Chen Mobai had been waiting for an hour and she still hadn’t come out.

So, he reflected on the words that the Law Enforcement Cultivator had earlier revealed.

Forbidden Technique?

He immediately looked it up online.

Among the gentians, there are some cultivation techniques that are massively powerful, but the aftereffects of cultivating them are extremely severe. These are called Forbidden Techniques, as they are, quite literally, forbidden to practice.

The most recent news about this online was about an incident three years ago. A True Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage had tried to break through his bottleneck by using a Forbidden Technique. This had driven him mad, and his out of control spiritual power had attacked the people around him, causing massive casualties among the ordinary cultivators.

Just as he was about to read further, Qing Nu was released.

“Make sure your phone line is open these next few days. You might be contacted at any time to confirm the facts.”

As Qing Nu was leaving, the short-haired female Law Enforcement Cultivator who was in charge of her case reminded her one last time.

“What exactly happened? Did your Master practice a forbidden technique?”

As Chen Mobai left the police department with Qing Nu, he couldn’t suppress his curiosity and asked.

“I also do not know, Master only taught me knowledge about alchemy, and never mentioned a word about cultivation.”

As Qing Nu said this, her eyes were red, seemingly heavily impacted emotionally. After all, the news that her long-time teacher was a criminal was too heavy for anyone to take.

“I’ll escort you home. Try not to overthink it, and get a good rest.”

All Chen Mobai could do was to comfort her in this way.

Inside an office on the third floor of the police department, Lan Haitian was looking out the window at Chen Mobai and Qing Nu leaving. He put down the files of both Chen Mobai and Qing Nu, and turned his head to ask Gu Changfeng, who was sitting down under pressure, “You should know the dreadful nature of the Devour God Technique. Everyone among you who has cultivated this Forbidden Technique hasn’t met a good end.”

“The decision to conceal the Devour God Technique wasn’t mine. I was just dragged into it.”

Gu Changfeng spoke out.

“I am not asking you about this. I just think that both these young people are good, and I hope they have no connection with the Devour God Technique.”

“Don’t worry, Qing Nu doesn’t know anything about it. Plus, I’ve already expelled her from my tutelage.”

Lan Haitian shook his head and handed Chen Mobai’s file to the Law Enforcement Cultivator next to him. Then he scanned Qing Nu’s file with his own phone and sent it to a friend for further investigation.

“That’s not for you to decide. After all, she was once your disciple, so we still need to supervise her for a period of time.”

“You are an enforcer of the law; you should stick to the evidence. Qing Nu has not committed any crime.”

“It’s precisely because I stick to the evidence that she has been released now. If she were still your disciple, I would have justifiedly arrested both of you.”

Upon hearing these words, Gu Changfeng huffed in anger but didn’t argue any further.

“Elder Brother Gu, why didn’t you choose to flee?”

“You gave your business card to Qing Nu, who forwarded it to me. You wanted to force me to flee, so you would have an excuse to interrogate me with your methods.”

Gu Changfeng looked coldly at Lan Haitian and revealed his thoughts. But the latter only responded with a slight smile.

“With your talent, Elder Brother, you would not have reached your current realm if you had been practicing normally. It seems like Forbidden Techniques really do affect the mind.”

But at this moment, Gu Changfeng closed his eyes and said no more.

Lan Haitian queried him for a while, but seeing that he would not speak again, gave up on further questioning.

As he left the interrogation room, he removed a “Mind-reading Talisman” pasted on the door to ascertain which parts of Gu Changfeng’s words were true and which were false.

“Mr. Lan, what should we do next?”

Inside the office of the police department, after compiling both Gu Changfeng and Qing Nu’s data, the office worker handed it to Lan Haitian, then waited for his next instruction.

“Just keep him locked up for now. When 1 leave later, I’ll take him away.”

“Alright, what about his female disciple and that student? Do we need to send people to watch them?”

“I’ll arrange for people.”

“Yes.”

Chen Mobai escorted Qing Nu back home, where she asked him to stay for a while.

This was a single apartment in Red Sandstone City. After asking, Chen Mobai learned that Qing Nu had been orphaned from a young age and had grown up in an orphanage.

When she was fifteen, due to her outstanding abilities, Gu Changfeng had taken her as his disciple when he came to give a lecture at school. She then started working at the Evergreen Pharmacy, and with the help of her master, she had rented this apartment and begun to live alone.

Chen Mobai checked and found that because the house was public rental housing, the facilities were quite basic, with only the minimum supply of Rank-1 lower-grade spiritual energy.

“To me, Master is like a father. But they say my Master practiced Forbidden Techniques and is a bad person.”

As Qing Nu spoke, her eyes turned red again. Perhaps due to the hardships she had experienced from a young age, she was resilient enough to control her emotions, no longer as agitated as at first.

Chen Mobai comforted her some more, and seeing that it was getting late, he made his leave.

Qing Nu got up and sent him out, then she squatted down alone in the empty room, back against the door. After hearing the sound of footsteps outside grow distant, she hugged her knees and buried her head, then started weeping softly.

“Master, this is the report on Gu Changfeng’s case.”

At the top of the Spiritual Peak, in front of the wooden cabin, Lan Haitian respectfully lifted the report he had prepared above his head.

A formidable Divine Sense swept out from within the cabin and instantly read through all the contents of the report.

“The five people who obtained Forbidden Techniques from the Purple Cloud Palace all those years ago have all been captured, right?”

“Yes, Gu Changfeng is the last one. However, I suspect that there are some unseen factors in this matter. Because of the limitations in the means available, I couldn’t extract any useful information.”

After years of investigating cases, Lan Haitian developed an intuition that if a case was completely resolved, he would feel exhilarated and his thoughts would be unimpeded. If not, his mind would be clouded.

“Well, just leave it like this. After all, you have them in your hands. Even if there are hidden facts, you can press them for answers slowly.”

The voice from inside the cabin, Master Shi Qing’s, was calm. It seemed like he didn’t pay much attention to the result of Lan Haitian’s investigation.

“May I ask, Master, how should we deal with Gu Changfeng’s disciple?”

“Hmm? On this kind of matter, do you still need to ask me?”

Upon hearing Master Shi Qing’s slightly displeased voice, Lan Haitian could only smile bitterly. He took out his phone and forwarded some confidential information from the Daoist Academy he had obtained through illegal means to the Master inside the cabin. “This is Qing Nu’s file. Please review it, Master.” “Oh, didn’t expect it to be her.”

After Master Shi Qing finished reading, he expressed surprise..
