[Duanbei City]
After the commotion caused by Gu Kuang, the fact that Liu Qingqing had been plotted against was well known among the members of the Heavenly Cold Sect.
The three Elders of the Heavenly Gate Realm summoned Zhu Qin and Yayun individually to question them at the earliest opportunity.
As expected, no discrepancies were found in their testimonies.
If they truly wanted results, the simplest method would have been a Soul Search, but that could potentially damage their Divine Sense, or in the worst case, leave them mentally incapacitated.
Naturally, they couldn't resort to such cruel measures against fellow candidates for the Saintess.
In the end, they had no choice but to let it go for the time being, as the trial for the Saintess was of utmost importance.
The Elders of the Heavenly Gate Realm would simply have to be more vigilant in the future to prevent such incidents from recurring.
When night fell, Liu Qingqing had fully recovered from her injuries.
