Inn, Shi Chun couldn't escape the appointment for a discussion.
The conversation was about the events at the West Pole arena. When Shi Chun learned the identity of the interrogator, he was surprised, not expecting that a competition would attract such people.
He had heard of the people from Stargazing Pavilion during his time in the Land of Exile and knew what they did—they were said to be the Empress's hounds.
As long as it wasn't about the Demon Path, Shi Chun had nothing to fear.
The interrogators didn't ask much else. They weren't interested in the competition for the Extreme Crystal; they only wanted to know if Shi Chun knew who had struck him down during his fight with Mulan Qingqing.
First, Shi Chun genuinely didn't know who had struck. Secondly, he had been warned by a hidden expert, so he stubbornly denied knowing.
It wasn't for any other reason; if the Stargazing Pavilion had shown the power to rip through the void, he might have honestly confessed.
