Upon hearing Chief Gu's words, the disciple nodded in agreement and began to recall.

However, after thinking for a long time, he couldn't find anything suspicious, and he was suddenly a little troubled.

If he can't find anyone else, then he can't clear his name.

He said with a bitter face, "This disciple really can't think of anything wrong. Apart from working, I've been resting in my room and haven't noticed anything amiss."

"Do you still want to clear your name? Please think carefully about who you have spoken to or contacted in the past few days. Even the smallest thing, or if you have the slightest doubt, you can tell me. It might be a clue."

Gu Changqing was not in a hurry, but spoke patiently.

No matter how anxious he is, it's useless; the disciple still needs to recall it himself.

"After Chief Gu's reminder, I suddenly remembered something, though I'm not sure if it counts," the disciple said uncertainly, as if he had just thought of something.

"Speak freely, whatever comes to mind. You might be able to extract some clues. Even if you don't find any clues, it's okay. Just share your thoughts so we can analyze them together," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile and a calm expression.

Hearing Chief Gu say this, the disciple was deeply moved.

So he decided to tell him what had recently happened.

“A few nights ago, when I was tidying up Elder Liu’s room, I suddenly had to go to the toilet. I went out for about half an hour before I came back. When I returned, I saw a disciple passing by Elder Liu’s door.”

The ragged disciple, weak and listless, recounted the things that had puzzled him.

When he saw it, he thought it was just a coincidence, that the disciple was just passing by.

Looking back now, I realize something was off; the disciple's expression seemed somewhat unnatural at the time.

"Oh, the disciple you mentioned might just have been passing by. How could you tell that there was anything unusual about him?" Gu Changqing smiled and retorted directly.

"I initially thought it was just a coincidence, just like Chief Gu. But now, thinking back on it carefully, he seemed to be in a hurry that night, and his expression was extremely unnatural. He must have done something wrong to act like that. A normal person shouldn't have that kind of expression." The disciple said in a weak but firm voice.

"Hearing you say that, I think you make some sense. I think the disciple who seemed to be in a hurry is highly suspicious. The most important thing now is whether you know who that disciple is?" Gu Changqing said with a faint smile and a serious expression.

Gu Changqing felt he was getting closer to the truth, and he was confident he could find the sect's sacred artifact.

Upon hearing his disciple's words, Elder Liu's extremely tense heart relaxed slightly, and he felt that there was hope.

"It was quite dark that night, so I couldn't see the person's face clearly, but his clothes and build were similar to mine."

The disciple thought for a moment and then recounted everything in detail.

Unfortunately, he didn't see the person's face, otherwise he could have identified the person directly.

"According to you, this person must be a disciple of our sect without a doubt," Elder Liu said without hesitation.

“No, Elder Liu, what he said only proves that the clothes this person is wearing are the uniform of our Qingyun Sect, but it’s hard to say whether this person is actually a member of our Qingyun Sect. There is another possibility: perhaps this person is a member of our Qingyun Sect, but he has betrayed us and is a traitor.” Gu Changqing said with a solemn expression, as if he was deep in thought.

"So how do we find this suspicious person now?" Elder Liu asked with some worry.

Although he has now basically confirmed that the sect's sacred artifact was not thrown by the half-dead disciple in front of him, he still cannot determine who stole it.

Gu Changqing seemed to have thought of something, and then asked the disciple very seriously, "Think back carefully, which direction did that suspicious disciple go?"

"Which direction can we go? Of course, back to our room!" the disciple said without even thinking.

"Are you sure?" Gu Changqing asked with a serious expression.

“I’m sure, that direction is a dead end; it only leads to the dormitory rooms,” the disciple said seriously.

"From what you've said, the suspicious person is most likely from our sect. If he were an outsider, he would have gone in the opposite direction and would have been gone long ago." Gu Changqing drew this conclusion based on the disciple's description.

"My goodness! I never imagined that our sect would actually have a traitor. Chief Gu, you must find a way to root this person out, otherwise he will cause great trouble in the future." Elder Liu said with a look of surprise and disbelief.

He hated the traitor to the core at that moment, wishing he could capture him immediately and then tear him apart alive.

He never expected that the Qingyun Sect would produce a traitor. He knew he couldn't be lenient with such a double-dealer; once caught, he would be severely punished.

"Of course, I will definitely capture this person and hand him over to Elder Liu for disposal. How dare he be a traitor? He's courting death." Gu Changqing said with a cold smile and a serious expression.

"Oh, right, Chief Gu, Elder Liu, I suddenly thought of something that I think might be related to this matter," the disciple said excitedly.

He wanted to know the truth more than anyone else.

Although he didn't steal the sect's sacred artifact, he still really wanted to know who stole it and framed him, causing them to suffer an injustice and be severely tortured. Just thinking about it made him feel incredibly aggrieved.

"What is it? Speak quickly!" Before Gu Changqing could speak, Elder Liu asked excitedly and curiously.

"The reason I had to urinate that night was because of a stomachache. I thought it was just because I caught a cold or ate something bad, so I didn't take it seriously. I can't even remember how many times I went to the toilet that night. I was so dizzy and weak from the diarrhea that I almost collapsed." The disciple thought for a moment and said thoughtfully.

"What does your diarrhea prove? Did someone drug you?" Gu Changqing couldn't help but ask after hearing the man's words.

Gu Changqing also felt that there was something strange about this matter when he heard what this person said. How could all the coincidences happen to him on that day? It was too much of a coincidence.

His sixth sense told him that this was definitely not a coincidence, but something that someone had done on purpose.

"The food I ate was fine; the problem was with the tea I drank. That night, I was eating alone when I ran into someone who handed me a cup of tea. I was very thirsty, so I drank it without thinking. I suspect he tampered with the tea." The disciple expressed his suspicions.

He initially thought the cup of tea was just handed to him casually, but now, looking back, he guessed it was deliberately given to him.
