Torture

At the entrance, the guards solemnly held Dong Lin and Bai Zhao back.

Dong Lin saw that what Bai Zhao said was not the truth and knew he must be hiding something.

He glanced sideways at Zhao Yuwei and indeed found her face full of surprise.

Obviously, stealing the medicine was her doing.

It was just that the two had different feelings, causing Bai Zhao to be unwilling to betray Zhao Yuwei even unto death.

"I have something to say, let me go."

Seeing that the guards were about to take him out, he struggled desperately, escaped from the guards' grasp, and knelt before Su Xuerou.

"Please give me some time, I have a way."

Su Xuerou lowered her head to look at Dong Lin's face, contorted with fear, understood he must have a special method, and waved her hand.

"You don't have much time, I only listen to words with evidence."

Without evidence, Zhao Yuwei would definitely not admit it.

Moreover, Bai Zhao's testimony just now had already proven that the person who stole the medicine was not Zhao Yuwei, so his subsequent retraction would definitely not be accepted.

Seeing that Su Xuerou was willing to give him a chance, he quickly nodded: "I have a way, let me use a method to make him tell the truth."

After a moment, she returned to the bed and looked at the guards not far away: "Let them go."

The guards stepped back a few steps and released the people.

As long as they had the intention to attack, the guards would surely act immediately, making it impossible for them to strike Su Xuerou.

Just as Dong Lin was about to speak, Su Xuerou raised her eyes to look at the two: "If the person he confesses shortly is not Zhao Yuwei, then you... will surely die."

Her words were light, yet they carried an undeniable tone.

Dong Lin understood Su Xuerou's character, took a deep breath, and walked up to Su Xuerou: "I guarantee he will tell the truth and will definitely not play tricks on us."

"As soon as possible, I haven't given you much time, don't make things difficult for us."

After he heard that Su Xuerou was willing to give him a little time, he walked towards Bai Zhao with a face full of coldness.

"You didn't say that to me just now, no matter what relationship you have, I hope you can tell the truth."

He felt that his own life was the most important thing, as the saying goes, it's better to live poorly than to die well; he absolutely would not allow himself to die inexplicably in this place.

Bai Zhao raised his eyes to look at Zhao Yuwei not far away, his face solemn: "I did not lie, I indeed saw nothing."

"Bang..."

His words had just finished when his entire body was violently sent flying, crashing against the Great Hall door with a dull thud.

Clearly, this blow had caused him great injury, even causing blood to spray out.

Zhao Yuwei saw Dong Lin using such a despicable method to deal with Bai Zhao and quickly came before Su Xuerou.

"Using methods of torture to extract confessions, can the words spoken truly be credible?"

On the bed, Su Xuerou listened to Zhao Yuwei finding an excuse for herself in advance, her willow eyebrows slightly furrowed, feeling that there was some truth to it.

Often under such threats, the words spoken are not controlled by the mind and it is highly likely that false testimony will be given.

"Such methods cannot be used, otherwise she will not believe what this person says."

In the distance, Bai Zhao saw Zhao Yuwei step forward to speak for him, his eyes filled with gratitude.

In the entire Hall of Supreme Bliss, perhaps only Zhao Yuwei was truly good to him; no one else had such power.

When Dong Lin saw that Su Xuerou did not allow him to do this, he felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.

However, he could only comply, bowed towards the two, and once again looked at Bai Zhao.

"If you don't want to endure physical pain, then you'd better tell the truth, otherwise... I don't mind killing you."

As soon as these words were spoken, Su Xuerou's face became extremely unpleasant.

She had just finished saying that torture to extract confessions was not allowed, yet Dong Lin acted as if he hadn't heard.

Due to the truth, she could only remain silent, waiting for Bai Zhao to tell the truth.

"I... I saw nothing, and I will absolutely not tell a lie because of your coercion and enticement."

Bai Zhao tightly clutched his wound, his face full of seriousness, not putting Dong Lin in his eyes at all.

At this point, Dong Lin saw that he was still holding on, turned back to look at Su Xuerou: "I plan to use some of my own methods, hoping for approval."

Without a bit of physical pain, how could the truth be told?

Su Xuerou saw that Dong Lin was insistent on using torture and turned to look at Zhao Yuwei: "What do you think?"

This question being thrown at her was quite coincidental.

If she did not allow the use of torture, it would appear that she was guilty.

In this way, Su Xuerou would definitely place the blame for the lost medicine on her, and both of them would die.

In the Hall of Supreme Bliss, anyone who had told a lie had never been seen alive.

Moreover, in Su Xuerou's eyes, Bai Zhao was not even as good as a watchdog; killing him was like killing a bug.

Zhao Yuwei pretended to ponder for a moment and nodded slightly: "I think he can use some special methods, but he cannot kill the person, otherwise... it will be hard to convince everyone."

"Since even you approve, then I will leave the rest to you."

When Dong Lin saw that even Zhao Yuwei approved, he came before Bai Zhao with a cruel smile on his face: "Did you see? This is the person you want to protect, who can even use torture."

Bai Zhao, however, was not tempted by Dong Lin's divisive words, and coldly snorted: "I only speak the truth, I will absolutely not collude with you, just do what you must to me."

Saying this, he quietly closed his eyes, as if waiting for the torture to be inflicted upon him.

After a moment, Dong Lin took out the Blood Lotus Flower and fiercely scraped it against Bai Zhao's body.

In an instant, a painful wail came from within the Great Hall; the wound on his arm was deep enough to see the bone.

Even if Bai Zhao was not killed by the torture, it was believed that he would not be able to do any strenuous labor.

"I... did not see the person who stole the medicine."

At this moment, his body had begun to tremble, and even his eyes had started to turn blood red.

The Blood Lotus Flower could not only strip off all the flesh and blood from the body but could even leave a large mark on the bone.

As long as there was a little Spirit Energy left in that person's body, they wouldn't faint here.

Seeing that Bai Zhao said nothing, Dong Lin placed the Blood Lotus Flower on his other arm.

"Hiss..."

A cold gasp came from his mouth; clearly, he had reached his limit.

In the distance, Zhao Yuwei saw Bai Zhao being targeted by Dong Lin in this manner and felt unbearable.

While Su Xuerou was not paying attention to her location, her figure transformed into a Flowing Light and arrived beside Dong Lin.

"Bang..."

A striking sound came from her hand, and Dong Lin was sent flying several steps back by this blow.

"You..."

At this moment, Su Xuerou sat up straight, her face bearing a playful smile: "Couldn't hold back?"

Zhao Yuwei ignored them, sat cross-legged behind Bai Zhao, and continuously channeled the Spirit Energy within her body into Bai Zhao, helping him recover from the injuries on his arm.

"I admit, the Medicinal Pill was indeed stolen by me, why do you need to use this method to show me?"

She had long known that Su Xuerou saw through her weakness, but she hadn't expected Su Xuerou to do such an outrageous thing.
