Everyone in the hall fell silent, waiting for Yan Baibai's answer. Even Lu Wuxiu, who had been kneeling beside Yan Baibai, couldn't help but turn his gaze towards her, but his gaze met Yan Baibai's. They both paused and then looked away.
"Yan Baibai... no evidence."
When Yan Baibai said this, the hall was in an uproar again.
"Yan Baibai, are you holding a grudge against Lu Wuxiu because he took away the first place in the exam, and are you deliberately framing him?" A senior sister who was watching the excitement at the door of the hall finally couldn't help but shout.
"Yeah, how can you just accuse someone of being a demon without any evidence? That's despicable!"
"How could this be? My master used to compare you to us every day, and I was so serious about learning from you. You're such a disappointment!"
"She is so beautiful, I never thought she was such a person."
"That's why they say people's hearts are hidden and you can only know a person's face but not his heart!"
“…”
Listening to the angry curses or emotional expressions of her fellow disciples behind her, Yan Baibai felt her heart go cold. She might lose her humanity completely when Lu Wuxiu completely proved his innocence.
"Then, Lu Wuxiu, since Yan Baibai has no evidence, do you want to accept the test?" This time, Legui Daojun did not call for silence, but directly asked Lu Wuxiu's opinion.
If the accuser has no evidence, the accused can refuse the test. Lu Wuxiu is well aware of this, but he does not intend to refuse. He can use this opportunity to dispel other people's doubts and eliminate a hidden danger. After this test, others will no longer associate him with the demon clan.
"If that's the case, then why doesn't Yan Baibai accept the test?" The senior sister who couldn't stand Yan Baibai was filled with righteous indignation.
"Yan Baibai is willing to be tested together with Lu Wuxiu." Yan Baibai spoke at the right time.
Then, Fu Guishan’s disciples brought the magic water and the stone of self-examination.
Although the voice in his consciousness kept saying that it had a way, Lu Wuxiu was still a little nervous.
"Shiyan, I have my own way to avoid the demonic water, but do you really have a way to help me avoid the test of the Heart-Searching Stone?" Lu Wuxiu couldn't help but ask the guy who appeared in his consciousness a month ago and claimed to be the spirit of the Shiyan Sword.
"Don't worry, I, Xi Yan, still have a way to deal with this mere Heart-Searching Stone."
Shi Yan, the sword spirit of Shi Yan Sword, was unsealed by Lu Wuxiu in the secret realm of the Yanjian Sect's examination, and was easily integrated into Lu Wuxiu's consciousness. After a month of running-in, he finally gained some trust from Lu Wuxiu.
Yan Baibai and Lu Wuxiu sat facing each other with a basin of water placed between them. At the signal of Fu Guishan's disciples, the two put their hands into the demonic water in the basin. If one of them was a demon, the water would turn black, boil, and smoke, and that demon would suffer endlessly.
Time passed bit by bit, and Yan Baibai and Lu Wuxiu's hands were placed in a basin. They looked at each other with calm expressions on their faces.
Yan Baibai: System, look, is there murderous intent in the way Lu Wuxiu looks at me?
System: Ding, after testing, the male protagonist has no intention of killing the host.
When Yan Baibai heard what the system said, she was stunned at first, and then delighted. As long as the male protagonist did not take action, she had the confidence to get through this level.
Lu Wuxiu was slightly stunned as he watched the girl's expression change. Was she surprised that I hadn't revealed my true form? Then what was she so happy about?
The basin was taken away, and a translucent white crystal stone, as tall as a man, appeared between the two of them. Inscribed on it were the words "Search the Heart." Following Fu Guishan's disciple's instructions, the two men placed their hands on the pure white stone. If either of them was a demon, the stone would turn pitch black from the center.
Lu Wuxiu's heart couldn't help but beat faster. He stared nervously at the Heart-Searching Stone in front of him. If a trace of black air appeared in the middle of the stone, he would be sure that he would be killed on the spot without hesitation by the Lord Daogui in the main seat.
"Isn't this girl the girl who was with you when I just woke up? Did you release your demonic body in front of her?" Shi Yan couldn't help but ask Lu Wuxiu.
"I'm sure not."
"Then how did she find out?"
"I'm confused too."
"Ah, that's really troublesome. I have a way to make the Stone of Conscience identify her as a demon. Take your hand away for a while." Shi Yan's tone was full of malice.
Lu Wuxiu was a little shocked by the sword spirit's ability. He looked through the heart-searching stone at Yan Baibai across from him. She was the only person in the world who doubted his identity. If she died...
System: Alarm, alarm, the male protagonist's killing intent towards the host continues to rise. Host, please stop him immediately. Countdown 4, 3, 2...
The system suddenly spoke, and Yan Baibai knew that she had to do something. She didn't know why she did this, but when she regained consciousness, her hand was already holding Lu Wuxiu's hand.
Yes, when the system read the countdown, Yan Baibai suddenly and quickly bypassed the Heart-Searching Stone, grabbed Lu Wuxiu's hands with both hands, and then held them tightly...
No matter who was present, even Shi Yan in Lu Wuxiu's consciousness, was confused by Yan Baibai's sudden action.
System: The killing intent value is decreasing, decreasing, decreasing. Congratulations to the host for successfully surviving the danger. The host is awesome.
After hearing the system's words, Yan Baibai breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately saw the situation in front of her. She had to find an excuse for her behavior.
"Lu Wuxiu, did you put something on your hands?"
Yan Baibai spoke in a very exasperated manner, with the arrogant air of a young lady, but because she was too nervous, there was a hint of coquettish whispering in her tone.
Lu Wuxiu could feel his broad hands being rubbed by a pair of small, soft hands, and it felt a bit itchy...
"Hey, why is your heart beating so fast? Are you afraid of this little girl?" Shi Yan's tone was full of exaggerated disbelief.
"Shut up, I'm not scared of her."
While Lu Wuxiu was answering Shi Yan in his mind, he reflexively wanted to pull back his hand, but Yan Baibai held it too tightly, and he almost pulled Yan Baibai into Lu Wuxiu's arms. A month later, Lu Wuxiu suddenly smelled this special smell again, which was the smell of Yan Baibai.
The two people hugged each other for only a second, and then they quickly separated.
The Stone of Conscience was also carried away by Fu Guishan's disciples. The answer was already very clear. Lu Wuxiu was not a demon, and Yan Baibai had wrongly accused Lu Wuxiu for no reason.
