She was the top alchemist from a prominent ancient martial arts family in the 21st century. With one transmigration, she found herself in the body of the discarded eldest daughter of a general'...
Liu Piaopiao just smiled lightly. Heh heh, did they think she, Liu Piaopiao, was stupid?
"So someone plotted to frame Qingling?" Wen Longting exclaimed in surprise.
"No, it must be someone who designed Qingling, but the ultimate target was Xiao Jiu!" Wen Chuyu's gentle voice came, but if you listened carefully, you would find that his voice carried a silent bloodlust.
"Isn't the Youyou Grass only found in the Wuji Sect?" Shen Miaoqing looked at Lian Qingcheng with an unfriendly gaze.
"I..." Lian Qingcheng was speechless.
“It won’t be Qingcheng,” Ye Qingchen said with certainty. Lian Qingcheng looked at him, her eyes filled with inscrutable emotions.
"Elder, this matter concerns the relationship between our Wuji Sect and Star Academy. The murderer is on the ship, so it shouldn't be too difficult to investigate. If it really was done by someone from our Wuji Sect, rest assured, our Wuji Sect will definitely give Star Academy an explanation!" The man called Uncle Tong stepped forward and said.
“That’s right, it is indeed very easy to investigate!” Feng Che took the Youyou Grass from Wen Longxiu’s hand, put it in a bag, and roughly cast a spell.
Half a quarter of an hour.
"This bag is called the Floating Bag. After I cast a spell, anyone who touches this 'Ghost Grass' will have their hand turn black if they put their hand inside. Now start lining up. Everyone on the boat must put their hand inside."
Liu Piaopiao and the woman were immediately flustered; they never expected to know such a spiritual technique!
Seeing everyone lining up, the two of them pretended to be calm and stepped forward.
"Everyone must reach their hands inside and feel down to the bottom of the bag," Feng Che added.
"I'll go first."
Lian Qingcheng was the first to step forward and reach in. When she took her hand out, it hadn't changed color. The second was Wen Longxiu, whose hand had indeed turned black. Everyone gasped in amazement; it was too amazing.
However, this scene completely panicked the woman behind them and Liu Piaopiao, and their hands trembled slightly involuntarily.
Yingyue Fengche, the Grand Elder, Ye Qingchen, Uncle Tong, and the others closely observed everyone's expressions, finally focusing on Liu Piaopiao and the woman. None of them spoke, their emotions unreadable.
Thinking of what Feng Che had said, Liu Piaopiao suddenly had an idea, and her panicked heart calmed down.
Soon it was the woman's turn. She stood before Feng Che, her hand trembling slightly, hesitant to reach in. Lian Qingcheng noticed her unusual behavior and her heart tightened. "Awu, what are you doing? Hurry up and reach in!"
A-Wu was her personal maid. They had grown up together since childhood, and she was the one who knew A-Wu best. Seeing her like this, Lian Qingcheng couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Upon hearing this, the person named Awu pretended to be calm and reached her hand in. She couldn't implicate her master, but the hand she pulled out was indeed black.
"Take him down!" Feng Che said coldly.
Awu's heart sank, her face turned ashen, and Lian Qingcheng stared at Awu in disbelief, "Awu, why...?"
Awu resignedly lowered her head and remained silent. Upon seeing this, Liu Piaopiao's heart, which had just calmed down, began to panic again.
"It's Liu Piaopiao's turn, what are you still standing there for?" Shen Miaoqing asked unhappily.
Seeing this, everyone focused their attention on Liu Piaopiao. Feng Che looked at her slightly trembling hands and sneered inwardly.
Under pressure from the crowd, Liu Piaopiao slowly put her hand in, but quickly took it out. Just as she was feeling smug about her cleverness, her hand gradually turned black, and she hurriedly pulled it back.
"Liu Piaopiao, it's you again!" Wen Longting stepped forward and grabbed her hand, angrily saying.
Liu Piaopiao stood there, stunned. How could this be? She clearly hadn't put her hand down there, so how could it have turned out like this! She wasn't the only one who was puzzled; Awu was too.
Seeing her puzzled look, Feng Che sneered, "Actually, this bag is just an ordinary bag. The so-called spell is just an illusion. Those who touch the bottom will have their magic broken, so their hands will be the normal color. But those who are guilty and don't touch the bottom will have their hands stained with my magic and turn black!"
Everyone suddenly understood. It turned out to be a psychological battle. Feng Che's last reminder made those who were guilty panic. A Wu and Liu Piaopiao seized on that sentence, and because they were too guilty to touch the bottom, that's why the following events happened.
Liu Piaopiao and Awu stared wide-eyed in disbelief; they had been tricked!
"Why would Wen Longxiu be like this too?" Liu Piaopiao asked, unwilling to give up.
“If Wen Longxiu doesn’t lie, how could you possibly fall for it? After all, everyone saw Wen Longxiu take that Youyou Grass,” the elder said sternly.
In reality, Wen Longxiu had received Feng Che's telepathic message beforehand and did it on purpose to make the people behind her believe it was true.
"Alright, that's the truth. The two of them were the ones who gave Qingling the Ghost Grass!" Feng Che said coldly.
"Arrest them all!" Uncle Tong said, then looked at A-Wu and shook his head in disappointment, "A-Wu, you've disappointed me so much!"
"You bitch, you've framed me time and time again! I'll kill you!"
Qingling's eyes were filled with tears, making her look pitiful, but also filled with anger and hatred. She gripped her sword and flew forward to attack Liu Piaopiao, even though she knew she couldn't beat her!
However, Yingyue stopped her, tapping her finger twice, and Qingling froze in place. "Calm down, they will handle this."
Qingling shed tears of grievance, and Wen Longxiu had no choice but to step forward to comfort her. However, no one saw the dark light flashing in Qingling's eyes, not even she herself noticed it.
"No, no, it wasn't me, she framed me! She's Lian Qingcheng's maid, she must have framed Ji Jiuying out of jealousy! And then she pinned the blame on me." Liu Piaopiao said, pointing at Awu and Lian Qingcheng.
Hearing this, A-Wu said fiercely, "Liu Piaopiao, stop slandering my master!"
Awu knelt on the ground, "Uncle Tong, it was all my own decision, it has nothing to do with the master."
Upon hearing this, everyone realized there was more to the story. Uncle Tong frowned slightly, and even Qingcheng still couldn't quite believe that Awu would do such a thing. She stepped forward and asked, "Awu, what exactly happened?"
“Ever since Ji Jiuying appeared, my master has always been sad and heartbroken. I didn’t want my master to be sad and heartbroken all the time. When we were on the shore, I discovered that Liu Piaopiao had improper thoughts about Lord Ye. So I thought I would use Liu Piaopiao to kill Ji Jiuying. Who would have thought that Liu Piaopiao would not use the poison I gave her? Instead, she lied to me and said that she was currently refining pills and needed a few Youyou Grass. Youyou Grass is not poisonous, so I gave it to her without thinking too much!” Awu said calmly.
The Wuji Sect members grasped the key point in Awu's words and suddenly realized that the woman who fell down disguised as a man was actually Ji Jiuying, a prominent figure from the Cangming Continent! They never expected to be on the same ship as such a prominent figure, but it was a pity that such a legendary figure was about to perish.
