Questioned on the Spot, Witnessing a Miracle

Upon hearing this...

Lie Canghai's eyes narrowed. What kind of trouble was this Human Race youth up to now?

Chen Ning looked at him with a smile, then helplessly shrugged.

He didn't want to get involved in the Dwarf Race's petty affairs anyway.

If you've taken the money, then you've taken it.

As long as you don't bother me, I can't be bothered with you.

But there are always some people who are unwilling to let the matter rest.

Then we'll just have to proactively reduce some of the upcoming trivial troubles.

Lie Canghai's resentful gaze never left Chen Ning.

He had no doubt that the other party would definitely do something after they left the palace.

Since that's the case.

Then we'll have to deal with the people who're trying to cause trouble first.

At this moment, the Dwarf King, his eyes gleaming, said, "Your Excellency, tell me, how did such a treacherous person appear by my side?"

The Dwarf King was usually jovial and carefree.

But when it comes to these fundamental issues...

He was still very serious.

"Your Majesty the Dwarf King, this parasite is none other than your beloved Lord Lieqing."

Chen Ning turned his gaze to Lie Canghai.

The latter stiffened and roared, "You're talking nonsense!"

He hurriedly cupped his hands and looked at the dwarf king, saying, "Your subject has been utterly loyal, serving Your Majesty and my people throughout Qian Province. Now this young Human Race has falsely accused me; I am innocent!"

The dwarf king's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "I know you have worked hard and made great contributions over the years. Rest assured, if you have no problems, I will certainly not punish you. But if you have problems... I will not let you off easily."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lie Canghai hurriedly kowtowed.

The dwarf king then looked at Chen Ning and asked, "You say that Lie Qing is a parasite in my service, do you have any evidence?"

"Your Majesty the Dwarf King, please be patient. Let me ask him a few questions first."

"Okay! Go ahead and ask."

After the dwarf king finished speaking, he fell silent.

Lie Canghai also stood up, his eyes filled with uncertain emotions.

I wonder what Chen Ning is up to.

"Xiao Lie, let me ask you, you said that most of the weapons and equipment this month are of ordinary quality, is that right?"

"Of course."

Lie Canghai flicked his sleeves, exuding arrogance.

"Then let me ask you another question: since the profit is 30% of last month's, does that mean there are many unsold weapons?"

"That's not the case. The low profits are because the quality of the equipment isn't as good as last month, but I still sold them all."

"Alright! The third question: have you tampered with the weapons on these weapon racks in the hall?"

Chen Ning looked at him with a smile.

But this sent a chill Lie Canghai's spine.

"Of course, they haven't been touched. All these weapons and equipment must be appraised by our clan's appraisers, and Your Majesty is also skilled in Appraisal Technique. If I were to tamper with them, how could I possibly hide it from Your Majesty!"

Lie Canghai forced himself to remain calm.

He wasn't sure if Chen Ning had actually figured it out, or if he was just bluffing.

"Still being stubborn, Xiao Lie. Have you heard of the law of conservation of hardness? Once your mouth is hard, the rest of you might be soft..."

Chen Ning spoke softly, while Lie Canghai was completely bewildered.

But he was panicking inside, completely unable to figure out what the other party was up to.

Chen Ning didn't want to tease him anymore.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now is the moment to witness a miracle."

As soon as Chen Ning finished speaking, he took out the Hammer of Appraisal and held it in his hand, concealed by the Shadow Cloak.

A slight tremor ran through me.

In an instant.

The weapons on the weapon rack seemed to have had an invisible membrane shaken off.

The next moment.

Several weapons began to flash with their proper light.

Amidst a powerful green light.

There were also a few streaks of purple light mixed in.

The dwarf king's gaze faltered.

How could he not know this scene?

This is the light emitted by the communicating weapon after the Appraisal Technique was used.

Green signifies superior quality.

Purple represents perfection.

Those weapons, which should have been of ordinary quality, have now undergone a qualitative transformation.

The dwarf king also tried to use the Appraisal Technique again.

This time.

The results he obtained further confirmed this glimmer of light.

He was enraged and glared at Lie Canghai, asking, "Lie Canghai, is this what you call being wholeheartedly devoted to me?"

Lie Canghai trembled all over.

He was completely stunned!

He never imagined that his foolproof method would be exposed by a young Human Race!

You need to know.

This is a method of concealing the quality of weapons.

But it was so sophisticated that even the renowned appraiser, Master Gu, couldn't see through it.

But Chen Ning saw through his plan.

Having tasted success this month, Lie Canghai has already used the same method on the equipment next month, thinking he can still handle it smoothly.

But now it's been exposed on the spot.

Lie Canghai was completely dumbfounded.

Faced with the dwarf king's questioning, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

He couldn't stop trembling.

"I'm asking you a question!"

The dwarf king let out a cold shout.

At this point, the truth is quite obvious.

The next moment, Lie Canghai knelt directly on the ground.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty! I... Your Majesty, I knew nothing about this! Someone must be framing me!"

The Dwarf King couldn't help but laugh, "Well done, Lie Canghai! You disguise high-quality weapons as low-quality ones, then sell them for a good price in Qian Province, is that it?"

"Your subject... your subject dares not!"

"I see you're quite bold; didn't you pocket all the profits from last month?"

"Your Majesty, spare my life! Please... please forgive me this time, for the sake of my many years of service! I will definitely find out who did this when I get back! This will never happen again!"

At this moment, the Dwarf King was furious.

Lie Canghai had no other choice but to say this.

He could only pray that the dwarf king would show leniency, considering his years of experience and reliability in handling matters.

This also gave the Dwarf King a way out.

However, this matter crossed the Dwarf King's bottom line.

His eyes were icy as he said, "Guards! Remove Lie Canghai from all his posts! Throw him into the underground death row! Execute him on a chosen day!"

"Your Majesty!"

Lie Canghai kept kowtowing.

But it was to no avail.

Only now did he truly feel fear.

Suddenly, he thought of someone who might be able to save him.

He scrambled to Chen Ning's feet, kowtowing and pleading, "Your Excellency is magnanimous and highly regarded by the King. Please, I beg you, plead for my life..."

Chen Ning curled his lip and said, "If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"

If Lie Canghai doesn't provoke him, he always adheres to the mentality of "it's better to avoid trouble."

I simply can't be bothered with it.

Lie Canghai brought this upon himself.

At this moment, dwarves wearing golden armor arrived in front of the hall and helped Lie Canghai down.

The dwarf king remained silent.

Even though Lie Canghai was once the person he valued most.

It's impossible to make an exception for him now.

Simply because he touched the one thing he shouldn't have touched.

He knew that Lie Canghai had been running rampant in the Earth Spirit Main City over the years, thanks to his favor.

They even openly disregarded the rules he set.

He could turn a blind eye to all of these things and not bother with them.

This bottom line, however, is untouchable.

Since it's already been touched, the only option is to replace it.

At this moment, he looked at Chen Ning again and couldn't help but feel a deep respect for him.

A look of horror flashed in his eyes.

Lie Canghai's originally flawless methods were all seen through by the Human Race youth in front of him.

Doesn't that mean...?

His Appraisal Technique surpass even those of the Master Gu!
