I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong
Chapter 371 335: The Grievance Between Fang and Yu

It's over, completely over!

As they watched Zhao Mingde and his group finish their drinks, Senior Fang and Senior Yu turned pale.

The two of them knew the situation was beyond recovery, and now was not the time to mention the poisoned wine in the vat.

Exchanging a glance, they communicated something secretly before attempting to leave and resolve the aftermath.

Unfortunately, Tian Lin wouldn't let them go, insisting they clarify the situation.

Meanwhile, others were pressuring Tian Lin for an explanation.

Under normal circumstances, Senior Fang and Senior Yu would have taken action against Tian Lin, but today was different; they had other matters to attend to and chose to swallow their pride to keep the peace.

"All mistakes are my fault; I shouldn't have pushed Junior Tian. Please, brothers, don't be angry. After the Spring Banquet, I'll treat you all to drinks and offer my apologies."

Senior Fang, his face flushed, bowed to everyone around him.

His sudden behavior took everyone by surprise; they couldn't understand why he was acting so out of character or what he intended to achieve.

However, Senior Fang's sincere attitude left people with no choice but to drop the issue.

"Fine, because of you, Brother Fang, we'll let this one slide."

Finally, they released Tian Lin, and Seniors Fang and Yu were able to leave.

One went to seize the wine vat in front of Zhao Mingde and his group, while the other sought out the maid.

They needed the wine vat to eliminate evidence and intended to question the maid about who instructed her to replace the wine meant for the mute with Zhao Mingde's.

Tian Lin didn't concern himself with Senior Yu; instead, after Senior Fang led the maid outside, he followed them out.

Senior Fang had taken the maid to a secluded spot when Tian Lin used the Infinite Finger technique on both Senior Fang and the maid.

Senior Fang's late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation made him impervious to such a technique.

Though caught off guard, he managed to evade Tian Lin's sneak attack, albeit clumsily.

However, the maid was not so fortunate. Before she could react, the Infinite Finger pierced the back of her head. She only managed a muffled groan before collapsing lifelessly to the ground.

"Who is it?"

By now, Senior Fang knew he was being plotted against.

Enraged, he glared around, then flew toward the rock garden where Tian Lin had been hiding.

Yet, he didn't find Tian Lin there; instead, from his elevated position, he saw chaos enveloping the entire academy.

Senior Fang sensed trouble and looked toward the main hall. He saw an instructor shout, "Seal all the food and guard the premises. No one leaves!"

The instructor reacted admirably, though he, too, was poisoned, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

Unable to stand, he sat on the ground, incapable of controlling the chaos.

The sword holders and sword slaves brought by aristocratic family heirs merely rushed to report back or escort their masters home, caring little for an instructor's commands.

In no time, poisoned or not, most fled, leaving only a few behind.

The mute, unaware of his narrow escape, snorted, picked up a knife from the table, and strode boldly out of the room.

One academy member remembered the instructor's order to stay put.

But how could he stop the mute? One palm strike from the mute knocked him down, allowing the mute to leave without hindrance.

Tian Lin, the instigator, did not flee. He stayed where he was, awaiting the arrival of the county government.

Soon, the Nascent Soul county magistrate personally arrived at the County School.

He went to the bodies of several instructors, felt their necks, dabbed some of the blood from their lips, and finally approached the surviving instructor or two.

This Nascent Soul cultivator gently struck each Golden Core instructor twice, administered elixirs, and then asked the instructor with the most strength, "Explain, what happened?"

"It was poison!"

Wang, the instructor, had just spoken when the county magistrate scolded, "Nonsense, I know it was poison! I want to know how it got poisoned and who poisoned it?"

Instructor Wang, duly chastened, didn't dare retort, only adding, "There was poison in the wine—the Flowers Brew was poisoned."

Upon hearing this, the county magistrate ordered nearby staff, "Bring out the Flowers Brew."

The County Magistrate quickly entered the main hall. Soon, several bailiffs brought out numerous wine vats, lining them up in the courtyard.

"To report to the county master, all the Flowers Brew has been brought out, but the poisoned vat is missing."

At this point, one of the servants reported, "Sir, before you returned, Young Master Yu left with a vat of wine."

No sooner had the servant finished than another servant stepped forward, protesting, "You're talking nonsense; which eye of yours saw my young master leave with wine?"

This prompted everyone present to turn their attention to the scene.

The county master immediately questioned the servant, "Where is your young master?"

The servant hastily shook his head, uncertain of Senior Yu's whereabouts.

The county master, amused and angered, signaled the County Magistrate.

Immediately, bailiffs apprehended the servant, binding him securely with ropes.

"Bring everyone here to the county government."

This decree caused Instructor Wang's face to change, saying, "County master, the county examinations are soon approaching."

Upon hearing this, the county magistrate's expression darkened with fury, glaring murderously at Instructor Wang:

"And you had the audacity to stir up trouble right before the exams? Regardless, we must resolve this case before the exams."

An incident at the County School might not seem significant to the Great Qi dynasty, but it was a grave matter for a county magistrate.

Especially when so many talented students from the school, along with numerous aristocratic families, were involved.

If he didn't resolve the issue quickly, he risked facing repercussions during the year-end evaluation.

Under the county magistrate's pressure, everyone present, even the instructors, were taken to the county government jail, let alone Tian Lin.

However, as the county magistrate had stated, the delay couldn't be extended too long.

Tian Lin stayed three days at the county government before being released promptly.

The jailer treated Tian Lin with great courtesy, smiling as he said, "Young master, after leaving this place, you're destined to soar to great heights one day."

Those words were auspicious but not merely comforting.

Due to the poisoned wine, all powerful individuals in the County School had been eliminated.

This meant that even if Tian Lin lacked cultivation talent, he had a shot at competing for one of the three State School slots.

"Has the case been solved?"

Not getting carried away, Tian Lin asked bluntly.

The jailer replied quickly, "The case has been solved. It was orchestrated by individuals from the Yu Family and the Fang Family. The Yu Family's young master has been found, but the Fang Family's young master remains missing."

Although there were still doubts about this conclusion within the county, the county magistrate couldn't allow the matter to drag on past the exams.

With exams approaching, the county magistrate hurriedly closed the case.

He not only hastily concluded the case but aimed to make it airtight.

As for whether Yu and Fang were wronged, that was none of his concern.
