Yun Luofeng leaned to one side and dodged Lin Ruoxin"s attack. The corner of her lips had a slight curve and her smile gradually increased. "Didn"t you say you wanted to use your death as an apology? What"s wrong? Can you no longer continue acting?"
The gaze of everyone within the tent fell on Lin Ruoxin. There were also misgivings within their eyes, clearly not understanding. Why did Lin Ruoxin take the initiative to launch an attack?
Facing those doubtful gazes, Lin Ruoxin faintly took a deep breath. "Apologies, I was under the impression that I would not fear while facing death, and also a.s.sumed that I could use my death as an apology, but nevertheless, I didn"t expect that I overestimated myself! Under impending death, I felt fear!"
She raised her eyes and openly said, "I believe no one will stay unconcerned when they are facing death. It was merely an instinctive action of mine earlier on and this cannot mean that I lied to everyone!"
Everyone nodded their head one after another. What Miss Ruoxin said was not wrong, everyone would react instinctively when facing death! Therefore, even if she were to retract her words earlier on, it was forgivable.
Yun Luofeng looked towards Lin Ruoxin and slowly walked towards the young man on one side.
"I"ll give you a chance. Who was the one who commanded you?"
The young man"s complexion turned pale and he clenched his teeth and spoke. "It was my own idea!"
"I"ll give you one last chance!"
Yun Luofeng slightly narrowed her eyes. "If you do not speak the truth, I am unable to guarantee what I"ll do!"
The young man revealed terror in his eyes, but his speech was still as stubborn as before.
"It was my own idea to frame you, what truth do you want me to say? What I"m saying is the truth!"
Yun Luofeng sneered. "Not long ago, I received a stalk of a special herb."
"What?" The young man stared blankly for a moment, not understanding her intentions.
It was as if Yun Luofeng did not notice his puzzlement and spoke while minding her own business. "That herb has a special use which is, if you speak of the truth, nothing will happen to you. However, if you were to lie, your soul will be set on fire and you will experience endless pain.
The young man"s body trembled and turned, wanting to escape. Nonetheless, before he had the opportunity to run out of the tent, he had been restrained by Yun Luofeng.
Yun Luofeng roughly opened his mouth and stuffed the herb in her hands into his mouth. The moment the herb was stuffed in, bitter juice flowed from the corner of his mouth. It was bitter to the extent that he teared up as he hastily spat out the herb in his mouth. Unfortunately, once the juice flowed into his body, it was of no use even if he spat out the herb...
"What did you feed to me?" The young man tightly clutched his throat as he questioned while his entire face was filled with fright.
"A herb that can make you speak the truth!" Yun Luofeng looked at him and asked, "What"s your name!"
The young man tightly clenched his fist. "Lin Jun!"
"Age?"
"Seventeen!"
When he answered these two questions, he was completely safe and sound, yet continuing on, Yun Luofeng"s speaking voice changed and she continued asking. "Who incited you to frame me?"
"It was me who… Ahhhh!!!"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Jun"s felt as if his soul was burning and painful to the extent he started screaming mournfully.
Lin Ruoxin"s expression suddenly changed as she had a bad premonition in her heart, and she was thinking of stopping him but it was too late...
"I"ll speak, I"ll speak the truth! It"s Miss Ruoxin who came to me tonight! She used the Hundred Herb powder to attract the spirit beasts, using that to lure the man beside you away. After that, she ordered me to come and set you up!"
Under such severe pain, the young man did not dare to cover up the truth in the slightest as he revealed everything. As expected, once he finished speaking, the raging flame-like pain disappeared...
