Chapter 204: 204
“I wasn’t learning, just enjoying the scenery here . ”
Elder Hong: “…” She is talking rubbish now .
“Elder Hong, she’s been bullying others recently, it’s like she’s become insane . ” Zhu Xiaoyu continued to report to Elder Hong .
“You get down first, don’t sit up there . ” Elder Hong felt it was a bit strenuous to look up .
Ming Shu didn’t care much about this . She stepped on the wall and jumped down easily . She even made a handsome ending pose when she landed .
“Xuan Ji changed a lot recently…”
“Really, she did . She looks more beautiful than before, and not like the whole world owes her . She smiles frequently, and it just makes her look even better . ”
The discussions of the disciples reached the ears of Yun Yao . She watched Ming Shu walking to stand in front of Elder Hong with brisk steps, and she was a bit puzzled .
“Don’t come here again, understand?” Elder Hong didn’t sound like he was going to punish Ming Shu .
“Elder Hong, stealing techniques violates the rules, she must be severely punished . ” A resonant voice rang from behind Elder Hong .
Elder Hong’s face changed a bit and turned around to face the source, then he said lowly, “Elder Xu, I am responsible for this practice court, and I don’t heed your commands . ”
Elder Xu and Elder Hong were almost the same age, but the former looked less kind .
His sharp eyes swept past Ming Shu as he sneered, “I am also a deacon elder of the external division, so I can’t let you cover things up, Elder Hong . If the masters learn about this, you know what the result will be, right?”
“I wasn’t stealing techniques . ” Ming Shu explained herself: “I’m not interested in this stuff . ”
I don’t want to cultivate immortality .
It’s true . Believe me .
She was just observing the fake female protagonist, and passingly checked if the fake protagonist lit up a cooking skill .
The cooking skill of the female protagonist was usually master-level, which was hard to encounter often .
But she didn’t see the female protagonist…
[…] I have a bad feeling .
Guest, you have to calm down and think twice . We should keep our eyes off the female protagonist . The male protagonist may sometimes not be that hard to deal with, but the female protagonist is a creature we can’t handle!
The next minute Ming Shu was drowned by porn videos in her brain, with loud noises of breathing and moaning .
Ming Shu’s smile got distorted .
Harmony System, what are you doing?
[Guest, are you calm now?]
What the hell… Are you expecting to calm me down by playing porn videos for me? No, wait, why do I need to calm down? What’s wrong with me?
[…]
The Harmony System turned off the porn videos .
While Ming Shu and the Harmony System were communicating, Elder Hong and Elder Xu had a heated debate on her “stealing techniques . ”
outer sect disciples headed by Zhu Xiaoyu resolutely supported Elder Xu in that Ming Shu must be severely punished .
Ming Shu: “…” Can I find a place to have some food first and then come back?
As Ming Shu was thinking about this issue, a disciple rushed over .
“Elder Xu, something happened . ”
The two elders stopped the debate and looked at the disciple . “What’s wrong?”
The disciple wiped off his cold sweat and answered, “The elixirs which are supposed to be assigned to all junior brothers and sisters are gone . ”
Elder Xu’s expression suddenly twisted . “Gone? How are they gone?”
Everyone present including Elder Hong looked at the disciple who was reporting .
The disciple was a little scared .
“Speak, what happened!”
Elder Xu let out a roar . The disciple hesitated for a moment, then stuttered, “I went to the Lihun Peak to take the elixirs yesterday . On the way back, my stomach felt uncomfortable, so I asked Junior Sister Yang Wan to help send them to the Dan Pavilion . ”
“After I went back, because I had to go to the evening practice, I didn’t go to the Dan Pavilion to confirm…” As he spoke, the disciple’s voice became weaker and weaker, which sounded almost like crying . “Just now I went to the Dan Pavilion to take the elixirs, preparing to distribute them to the junior brothers and sisters . Who knew that the senior brother of the Dan Pavilion said no one left the medicine there yesterday at all . ”
Each month, the outer sect disciples could get a Qingling Dan to clear away impurities from the body .
Nowadays, the technique of refining elixirs in all major sects was fading away . Qingling Dan was not very precious in a big sect like Yin Sect, but if someone brought it down the mountain for selling, it was valuable then .
“Who is Yang Wan?” Elder Xu asked directly after listening to the disciple’s narrative .
A petite figure walked out from the crowd, and her face looked very pale . “Elder Xu, I gave the elixirs to Xuan Ji and asked her to send them to the Dan pavilion…”
Innocent Ming Shu: “…”
What the hell?
Did you give them to me in a dream?
“Xuan Ji, where are the elixirs?” Elder Xu looked at Ming Shu with a very unhappy face .
Why the hell would I know that?!
I have never seen any elixirs .
Ming Shu turned to Yang Wan smilingly . “May I ask when and where you gave me the elixirs? Which clothes I was wearing when you gave them to me, and what I was doing?”
Yang Wan answered in a low voice, “I gave them to you when we were about to take the evening practice class, in the winding corridor to the Dan pavilion . You were in Taoist robe of course . ”
Ming Shu chuckled in her heart .
This girl didn’t do enough work to frame me . It’s too unprofessional, a negative comment I may give .
“Xuan Ji, where are the elixirs? Hand them over right now, and you may not be punished too harshly . ”
Hearing the girl’s words, Elder Xu immediately shouted at Ming Shu without allowing any explanation . He seemed to be very sure that it was Ming Shu who took them .
Ming Shu chuckled . “I didn’t see any elixirs, how could I hand them over? Do you want me to rub some elixirs on you right now?”
Everyone: “…” Rub? Do you think it’s a mud pellet?
“Elder Xu, she won’t admit it . You should search for evidence directly . There were quite a lot of elixirs, she must’ve hidden them somewhere . ” Zhu Xiaoyu stood out and gave ideas to Elder Xu .
“Nonsense . Xuan Ji wasn’t in the Taoist robe when we were about to have the evening practice yesterday . And she was with us, why didn’t we see you?” Lin Jin squeezed in and defended Ming Shu with his several errand boys .
Yang Wan’s face got paler and she unconsciously looked at Zhu Xiaoyu .
Zhu Xiaoyu changed her face a bit as Lin Jin spoke out . But she didn’t give up . “You’ve been hanging out with her recently, who knows if you’re helping her lie . ”
Zhu Xiaoyu cursed in her heart . She didn’t know what was wrong with this Lin Jin . After they came back that day, he suddenly began to care about Xuan Ji too much .
“If it was her or not, we’ll see . ”
Elder Xu ordered some people to search the place .
Elder Hong frowned and looked at Ming Shu . He seemed to be asking “Was it you?”‘ with his questioning eyes .
Ming Shu smiled and shook her head .
Elder Hong nodded and followed a group of people to search .
Seeing Ming Shu return with so many outer sect disciples and two deacon elders, the servant disciples gathered around one after another and discussed heatedly .
Naturally, they didn’t find anything . Zhu Xiaoyu was a little surprised and looked at the pale Yang Wan .
Yang Wan was also a bit panicked . She didn’t respond to Zhu Xiaoyu .
Zhu Xiaoyu had to continue the framing . “She must have hidden them somewhere else . Elder Xu, it must be her who took the elixirs . I saw her stealing food in the kitchen before, and she also stole techniques . ”
“Search the whole yard again . ” Elder Xu gave the order .
Ming Shu watched them tossing about calmly . She wore a leisurely look and didn’t seem to care about anything .
They searched everywhere, but didn’t find any sign of elixirs .
Elder Hong opened his mouth unhappily now . “Elder Xu, you have no conclusive evidence that Yang Wan gave the elixirs to Xuan Ji and let her deliver them to the Dan Pavilion . Xuan Ji has someone to prove that she didn’t receive the elixirs . Now you searched the place and found nothing, what other doubts do you have?”
“Elder Hong, the missing elixirs is not a tiny issue . ”
“Of course I know this, but that doesn’t mean you can suspect these disciples willfully . ”
The two elders had a fierce battle of gazes against each other .
The atmosphere suddenly quieted down .
A gentle voice broke the strange, silent atmosphere: “Well, well, you look so scared, did you just frame me?”
