Previously, Carasso and the others, who had been maintaining a neutral attitude, now looked at Mo Xiao with suspicion. Lin Jiansheng sat at the side and watched all of this coldly and quietly. He clenched his fists slightly and sighed inwardly.
After finding Mo Xiao’s motive for murder and pointing all the suspected evidence at Mo Xiao, Mo Xiao would really become the culprit.
Dongfang Xiagui gritted his teeth and asked, “Mo Xiao, are you still refusing to admit it?”
“Hehe.” Mo Xiao suddenly laughed strangely.
When he laughed, everyone looked up at him.
“Would you believe me if I said I didn’t kill Dongfang Sile?” Mo Xiao asked calmly.
No one stood out to express their stance. Everyone was silent.
Their silence was pushing Mo Xiao into the deep end.
Mo Xiao let out a mocking and disdainful laugh again. “It seems like I won’t be able to walk out of this conference building unscathed today.” Mo Xiao closed his eyes and sighed. “I’ll still say the same thing. I didn’t do it. I won’t confess.”
Dongfang Xiagui gritted his teeth. “Hmph, you’re so stubborn!”
Mo Xiao suddenly stood up and glanced at Sheng Lingfeng. “May I ask if I’ll live in the Beast Tamer Prison or the detention center you set up for me?”
Sheng Lingfeng’s lips moved, but in the end, he said, “Before this matter is completely clarified, the Grand State Master can’t leave. However, there’s insufficient evidence, so we can’t convict him. We shouldn’t treat the Grand State Master like a criminal. During this period of time, the Grand State Master will stay on the top floor of the Alliance headquarters.”
The top floor of the alliance headquarters was the lounge of the alliance’s upper echelons. With all the upper echelons guarding it, it wouldn’t be easy for Mo Xiao to escape.
Mo Xiao nodded casually and turned to leave.
After taking two steps, Mo Xiao suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned his head slightly and said in the direction of Lin Jiansheng, “God Ling Xiao, if I can’t return, I’ll have to trouble you to take care of those brats in the academy. Oh right, remember to supervise Yu Huang to cultivate diligently.”
Mo Xiao raised his hands and gently pressed his temples before leaving without looking back.
Lin Jiansheng looked at his back and didn’t blink for a long time.

When it was almost dark, Sheng Lingfeng walked out of the Alliance headquarters building with a pack of cigarettes.
He walked out the door and had just taken a cigarette out of the cigarette box when a hand reached out and snatched the cigarette from his hand.
Who would take someone else’s cigarette?
Without turning his head, Sheng Lingfeng knew who it was.
“Ling Xiao, you can’t even bear to buy a pack of cigarettes?” Sheng Lingfeng looked at Lin Jiansheng in amusement.
Not only was Lin Jiansheng unwilling to spend the money on cigarettes, but he also bit the cigarette and said in a muffled voice, “Please lend me a lighter.”
Sheng Lingfeng was speechless.
“What, you don’t even have a lighter?” As he spoke, Sheng Lingfeng took out a lighter and lit it for Lin Jiansheng.
Lin Jiansheng accused Sheng Lingfeng instead. “I sent my only personal disciple to your family. You’re so stingy that you can’t even bear to lend me a fire.”
Sheng Lingfeng shook his head and chuckled.
Lin Jiansheng took a deep puff of his cigarette and said, “Don’t tell me you can’t tell that this is a scheme that aims to make the Grand State Master a scapegoat?”
Sheng Lingfeng didn’t say anything, but he looked up at the sky. There were many tall buildings in the distance, completely blocking the sunset. The sky was about to turn dark.
“It’s not over yet,” Sheng Lingfeng muttered softly. “This is just the beginning. It’s not over yet.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiansheng knew what Sheng Lingfeng was thinking. He suddenly changed the topic and said casually, “Patriarch Xuanyuan is quite smart. He discovered a blind spot that we didn’t discover.”
Sheng Lingfeng snorted. “He came from the Divine Eagle Academy. His cultivation level is nothing impressive, but he’s smart.”
“Heh.”

The scene of Mo Xiao being interrogated by the alliance was seen by many people. Therefore, before their conversation ended, this news already spread on the alliance’s website.
In the past two days, the death of the Blazing Realm Continent’s Prime Master had already caused a commotion. All the rumors were about suspicion towards Mo Xiao. Since the alliance interrogated Mo Xiao at this time, anyone with eyes could tell what was going on.
On the alliance website, everyone was discussing this matter cautiously.
Everyone’s real names were verified, and the main character being discussed was the old monster Mo Xiao. Therefore, every time everyone posted a message, they had to check it repeatedly to confirm that there was no problem before they dared to send it out.
After all, whether Mo Xiao was guilty or not wasn’t decided yet. If they said something harsh and offended Mo Xiao now, they would be doomed in the future.
There were already tens of thousands of comments discussing Mo Xiao on the alliance’s website. Someone even opened a voting thread for this matter. The voting could be done anonymously.
The title of the vote was: “Do you think the DGS is the murderer?”
The red box on the left was yes, and the green box on the right was no.
Under the circumstances that they could vote anonymously, the people who chose ‘yes’ and ‘no’ were actually evenly matched. The total number of participants was 120,000, but the number of people who chose yes was more than 51,000!
When Yu Huang saw the voting results through her phone, her heart turned cold.
She really didn’t expect that such a large number of people would think that the Grand State Master was the murderer.
Beatrice glanced at Yu Huang’s phone page. When she saw the voting result, she immediately revealed an angry expression. “This group of trash actually really thinks that the Grand State Master is the murderer! They’re simply unreasonable!” The Grand State Master was the one who had helped Beatrice cut open her fishtail and grow human legs. In Beatrice’s heart, Mo Xiao was like a god.
And the person she believed in was actually slandered like this. How could she not be angry?
Yin Rong had also seen the poll. She put down her phone and said thoughtfully, “Although the poll can’t be taken seriously, many problems can still be seen through this vote.”
Yu Huang understood what Yin Rong was trying to say. She said, “You’re trying to say that regardless of whether the Grand State Master is guilty or not, there are currently a considerable number of people in the cultivation world who are hoping for him to fall from his pedestal.”
If a person stood on the altar for too long, it was inevitable that they would be envied and feared.
“Yes,” Yin Rong said. “I’ve heard legends about the Grand State Master since I was young. In our eyes, the Grand State Master is indeed a god-like existence. However, do any of you know where the Grand State Master came from? What is his cultivation level? Why can he deal with those demon beasts in the primitive forest?”
“Look, even I, a little Master, have so much suspicion towards the Grand State Master. What about those experts? While they admire the Grand State Master, are they also afraid of him and suspicious of him?”
Yin Rong stared at the yes option on Yu Huang’s phone screen and said with mixed feelings, “They might not really believe that the Grand State Master is the murderer, but they must be very afraid of him.”
