Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1089

'I knew he was someone special, but to think he was this special…' Tian Xianzu swallowed nervously as he sat in the Lin Family's guest room.

Both Tian Xianzu and Tian Suyin held their breaths as they waited for the Lin Family to bring in the 'culprit'.

A few minutes later, a middle-aged man with a somewhat blank look on his face was escorted into the room while his hands and legs were chained, and he appeared to have been beaten quite badly.

"This servant is Wu Jie, and he claimed responsibility for hiring the Silent Rippers. His reason being the recent rumors that have been spreading about our Lin Family. In other words, he wanted revenge." Patriarch Lin said.

Yuan narrowed his eyes at Wu Jie, causing him to tremble.

"Xiao Yang… I don't think he's the culprit…" Tian Yanyu whispered in his ears.

Even she could tell at glance that this servant wasn't responsible for it.

"Take a seat." Yuan gestured for Wu Jie to sit before them.

Wu Jie didn't dare to get comfortable, but Lin Chunhua insisted, "If the Young Master tells you to take a seat, you will take a seat."

Wu Jie quickly nodded his head and walked to the chair in small steps.

Once he was seated, Yuan retrieved the Grail of Truth and placed it on the table.

"I will now ask you several questions, and you will answer them truthfully." Yuan said to him.

Wu Jie nodded.

"Is your name Wu Jie?" Yuan asked a moment later.

"Yes…"

The Grail of Truth remained still.

"Did Patriarch Lin or Ancestor Lin force you to be here and play the role of culprit?"

"N-No! They did not!" Wu Jie said in a nervous voice.

Seeing no reaction from the Grail of Truth, Yuan continued, "Are you really the person responsible for hiring the Silent Rippers?"

"Yes, I am responsible." Wu Jie spoke with a somewhat defeated look on his face.

The Grail of Truth immediately pulsated with light.

Yuan smiled and said, "You're lying to me."

Wu Jie's eyes widened with shock, and he roared, "N-No! I am not lying! I swear that I am responsible! I was the one who hired the Silent Rippers to attack the Tian Family!"

The light coming from the Grail of Truth only became brighter as Wu Jie lied more.

"What is the meaning of th—" Lin Chunhua tried to question Wu Jie, but Yuan stopped him with a simple gesture.

"Please, allow me to ask him the questions."

"Alright…" Lin Chunhua stepped back and began glaring at Patriarch Lin with a threatening glare, causing him to swallow nervously.
