Chapter 225: Controlling an Outer God Through Technique
The man was not alone when he stepped into the room. A cold and stern-looking woman dressed in dark robes entered with him, her hands tightly gripping a bizarre-looking dharma artifact.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, and they were filled with extreme wariness and an icy chill. She locked her gaze firmly onto Li Shun as though scrutinizing an evil demon.
The aura surrounding her was taut like a bow drawn to its limit. It seemed that the slightest abnormality, no matter how faint, would be enough to make her erupt without hesitation and suppress Li Shun on the spot.
Neither of them showed any intention of introducing themselves or explaining their origins.
The middle-aged man looked down at Li Shun from above, his face as cold as frost. Without any unnecessary words, he curtly uttered four words:
“I ask. You answer.”
Although Li Shun was already quite familiar with the interrogation process, he showed none of it on his face. Instead, he deliberately put on an appropriately nervous and awkward expression and stiffly nodded.
Once again, the questions concerned the various classic texts and teachings of the Confucian school.
However, compared to the previous interrogation, this one was far more rigorous and exhaustive. They dissected everything down to the finest detail, from the profound principles hidden within the terse words of the ancient sages, to the commentaries and textual studies of Confucian scholars throughout the ages, and even Li Shun’s own insights into the Dao.
