It was not until she returned to the camp and saw Qiu Zijun that Qiu Zining burst into tears and said, "Cousin, look at how Xia Chujian beat me!"
"I'm going to tell her teacher!"
"She's a bully! And she stole my...my treasure!"
"Cousin, you must help me! Avenge me!"
Qiu Zijun looked at her, the disgust in her eyes no longer concealed.
She looked completely unconvinced and frowned as she said, "Zining, I heard that you later stole another team's worth of rare plants?"
"Did you also go and steal the plants that Xia Chujian and the others had?"
Qiu Zining: “…”
She paused, pouted, and said, "Who can I blame if those people can't keep the good stuff?"
“As for Xia Chujian…” She leaned close to Qiu Zijun and said mysteriously, “Cousin, Xia Chujian found a Heavenly Demon Vine!”
"Why don't we go ask her for it and share it?"
Qiu Zijun frowned: "What is the Heavenly Demon Vine?"
Qiu Zining then talked about the benefits of the Heavenly Demon Vine.
Qiu Zijun asked, "Since the Heavenly Demon Vine is a plant that doesn't even exist in the Beichen Galaxy, how did you know about it?"
Qiu Zining smiled and said, "I made a copy of my grandfather's 'Collection of Strange Herbs' and brought it here. Cousin, would you like to read it? I'll make a copy for you too!"
Qiu Zijun was shocked: "'Collection of Strange Herbs'? You actually brought my grandfather's most precious 'Collection of Strange Herbs'?!"
Qiu Zining said, "Yeah, what's wrong? My grandfather is the head of the Qiu family. What's wrong with me taking a copy of the 'Collection of Strange Herbs' from him? Besides, it's just a copy, not the original..."
Qiu Zijun closed his eyes, his fists stiffened, but he still suppressed his anger and said, "Zining, you can't do this."
"Don't just grab something good when you see it."
"Return the things you stole, and I'll take you to apologize."
"Especially not to steal Xia Chujian's things!"
Qiu Zining refused: "No! Why should I give back something I stole with my own strength?"
"I didn't get Xia Chujian's things, and she even beat me!"
"Cousin, take me to see your Commander-in-Chief Tan Tai. I want to file a complaint against Xia Chujian!"
"I clearly saw that plant first, but she stole it from me and even hit me!"
Qiu Zijun didn't know what to say when she saw her cousin blatantly framing others.
She rubbed her temples and said dejectedly, "If you don't go, I won't bear false witness for you."
"You stay in the aircraft today. If you dare to go out and cause trouble, I will take you away from here immediately."
"I'm a man of my words. I won't be participating in this event!"
Qiu Zining was surprised.
She actually came here for an important mission. Qiu Zijun cannot go back, absolutely cannot go back.
If Qiu Zijun went back, she would not be able to complete the mission.
Qiu Zining's eyes rolled and her tone softened: "Okay, cousin, I was wrong. I won't snatch it again..."
"But I grabbed those plants so my cousin could get first place!"
As she spoke, she took out the plants she had snatched today and said, "Can I give them all to my cousin?!"
Qiu Zijun said: "This is not mine, go give it back to someone else."
The two were talking in the aircraft when they suddenly saw a commotion outside and the sound of people shouting.
It was getting dark outside, but several teachers and soldiers from the Star Exploration Force were standing together with serious expressions. It was unclear what had happened.
Qiu Zijun couldn't help but get out of the aircraft, grabbed a student who was running around like a headless fly, and asked, "What happened?"
The student saw that it was Qiu Zijun and hurriedly said, "Student Qiu, five of the students who went out today haven't returned yet."
"Their team has already reported it, and the expedition team plans to organize people to search for it."
Qiu Zijun was shocked: "Missing again?! Qian Changxin and Shan Jingsheng haven't been found yesterday?!"
The student nodded: "No, but something happened again today."
As he spoke, he shook his head.
Qiu Zijun said, "Do you know which school he is from?"
The student said, "Student Qiu, don't you watch the expedition team's public channel? It's so lively there, everyone's talking about this."
Qiu Zijun returned to the aircraft and opened the expedition team's fair channel.
Everyone is indeed talking about this.
"Three of our teammates were knocked away by a noble lady. We don't know where they went."
"We couldn't contact them and didn't see them when we returned to the camp, so we reported it to the teacher."
"Coincidentally, two of our teammates were also beaten by a noble lady, and she even stole our rare plants!"
"She also stole our rare plants!"
When Qiu Zijun saw this, her face turned half dark.
She scolded Qiu Zining: "You robbed someone and hit them?!"
"That noble lady who knocked someone away, was that you?"
Qiu Zining blinked: "Do they have evidence that it was me?"
"I'm very quick..."
Isn't this a case of trying to cover up one's own guilt?
Qiu Zijun was almost pissed off by her. She frowned and said, "Hurry up and explain the situation and apologize to them!"
Qiu Zining refused and said, "I just had a fight with them, but I didn't kill them. Why should their disappearance be blamed on me?"
"Besides, their teammates are also responsible. Why don't they go find their companions?"
"I was beaten away by Xia Chujian, so Qiu Shiwu came looking for me!"
Qiu Zijun was so angry that she laughed: "You still think you're right?!"
