From the moment Chen Xuan made a move to replace the four people, it took less than a minute. This period of immobilization might feel long to an average person, but for the "prisoners" whose minds and bodies were both numb, they didn't care much about what the escorting person did to them... at least they weren't whipped or burned with branding irons.
Most people didn't even realize they had been immobilized.
When the effect of the Truth-Telling Technique ended, everyone still didn't dare to move lightly, standing awkwardly and staring at the floor.
"All right, take them to change their clothes." Only then did Chen Xuan break the silence by speaking.
Liu Shuyue, although not fully understanding what had just happened, still decided to follow the instructions.
Yet for a moment, her trust in Chen Xuan wavered slightly.
While others were unaware, with their backs turned, she saw the pantomime clearly!
