"Shut up and go inside." Elder Gu said to him.

Yuan shrugged and entered the cave, which led him to an underground prison that looked like it had been out of service for hundreds of years.

\'Young Master, should I just kill these ignorant and disrespectful fools?\' Feng Yuxiang asked him.

\'No, leave it. I want to see what they\'re going to do." He said.

He then said out loud, "Hey, I am only being questioned, right? Must we do it here? It\'s so dirty that I can feel myself getting sick just from breathing in the air."

Disciple Gu started laughing after hearing Yuan\'s words, and he said afterward, "You really think we took you here to question you? Just how dumb are you?"

"What? If you\'re not going to question me, why did you bring me here?" Yuan asked, continuing his act.

"Oh, we\'ll question you all right. The question is how we\'ll do it!" Disciple Gu retrieved his sword and pointed it at Yuan.

"I don\'t care who you are. Since you dared to lay your filthy hands on my woman, I will make you regret ever being born!"

Yuan\'s eyes widened with surprise, and he asked, "Huh? When did I ever lay a hand on your woman?"

"Don\'t act dumb! Healer Wang is my woman! I have had my eyes on her ever since she entered the sect, and I will do everything and anything to get my hands on her!" Disciple Gu shouted.

However, to their surprise, Yuan started laughing.

"What\'s so damn funny?"

"Everything." Yuan smiled.

"I see. So you still don\'t understand your current situation, huh? Don\'t worry, I will help you come to a realization very soon!" Disciple Gu began approaching Yuan, but he was stopped by Elder Gu.

"Uncle?"

"Wait. There\'s no need to be impatient. I still need to question him. Once I am done, you can have all the fun you want with him." Elder Gu said.

"Chain him to the wall!" He commanded the other disciples.

Yuan didn\'t resist and allowed them to chain him to the wall in one of the prison cells.

"If you\'re smart, you will answer my questions truthfully." Elder Gu stood before him and began questioning him.

"What\'s your name?"

"Yuan."

"What\'s your relationship with Healer Wang?"

"We\'re only friends."

"What is your background?"

"I don\'t have one."

"Which sect do you belong to?"

"I\'m what you call a Rogue Cultivator. I don\'t belong to any sect at this moment."

"What about your family?"

"They threw me out for being useless."

"In other words, you\'re a nobody! Which means we can kill you without offending anyone. You can forget about ever leaving this place now!" Disciple Gu laughed out loud.

"What about Healer Wang? She\'ll be sad and angry if you kill me." Yuan asked.

"Don\'t worry about her. She\'ll forget about you once we feed her a Mind Invasion Pill."

"A what?" Yuan raised his eyebrows.

\'Young Master, a Mind Invasion Pill can alter one\'s memories, and that includes erasing their memories.\' Feng Yuxiang explained.

"A soon-to-be-dead man doesn\'t need to know." Disciple Gu said with a grim smile on his face.

"How did you sneak into the sect?" Elder Gu continued to question Yuan.

"I flew in here… With your Sect Master." Yuan said with a smile.

"What?" Elder Gu immediately frowned.

"You heard me."

"You know the Sect Master?"

"Not just the Sect Master. I also happen to know your Patriarch— Patriarch Gu. We\'re practically best friends."

"He\'s fucking with us!" Disciple Gu exclaimed.

"If you don\'t believe me, you can contact your Patriarch and ask him yourself. Just tell him my name. He knows it very well."

"Shut your damn mouth!" Disciple Gu suddenly rushed into the cell and swung his sword at Yuan, who was defensively chained to the wall.

"Wait!" Elder Gu tried to stop his nephew, but Disciple Gu was too fast, and the sword in his hand was already in a swinging motion.

"Don\'t worry, I won\'t kill you so quickly! However, I will take one of your limbs!" Disciple Gu laughed as his sword mercilessly chopped at Yuan\'s right leg.

Ding!

The sound of metal colliding resounded, and it felt like he\'d struck a block of steel with his sword for Disciple Gu.

The sword flew out of his hand almost instantly after attacking Yuan, landing a few meters away.

"W-What the fuck?" He muttered in a dumbfounded voice.

"Surprised?" Yuan asked him with a smile.

"You\'ll need a little more arm strength if you want to take my leg."

"I-I don\'t know what kind of trick that was, but you\'re still chained to the wall! What can you do in such a state? And the longer it takes to kill you, the more I will enjoy it, so resist as much as you want!"

Yuan suddenly yanked his arm, ripping the chains off the wall.

He then snapped the handcuffs into two parts with ease.

"What were you saying?" Yuan looked at Disciple Gu with a nonchalant expression on his face.

"I-Impossible! Those handcuffs are made from Spirit Sealing Crystals! Did he break them with his raw strength?!" The other disciples exclaimed.

"You don\'t believe that I know your Patriarch, right? If that\'s the case, then how come I have this in my possession?" Yuan retrieved one of the treasures he\'d acquired from Patriarch Gu and showed it to them.

"T-That\'s—! Impossible! Why do you have that?!" Elder Gu exclaimed in a baffled voice.

\'That\'s definitely one of our Gu Family\'s heirlooms— the Grail of Truth! I can even sense our Destiny Seal on it!\' He cried inwardly.

"If you want to know how I got this treasure, go ask your Patriarch. He was the one who gave it to me, after all." Yuan said with a mysterious smile on his face.

Meanwhile, Sect Master Li\'s talisman arrived at the Gu Family\'s residence, alerting them of the situation at the Spirit Healing Academy.
