Chapter 78
Su Yin was a little surprised by Ji Qingqing's reaction.
She thought Ji Qingqing's illness was just as it had manifested before. Although it was inexplicable, at least her condition was stable. She never thought there was such a side to her.
It is enough to show how much harm the past has done to her.
Xiao Zhang said that Ji Qingqing is innocent, but all the existing evidence proves that Ji Qingqing is not innocent, so there is generally only one possibility.
She was framed.
Su Yin asked, "Who framed her?"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Zhang's eyes lit up like lightbulbs, with the excitement and excitement of finding a soulmate, "Yes, I was framed! Young Sect Master, you understand me!"
He continued indignantly, "It must have been that person, Miss Qingqing's once most trusted friend! Ever since Miss Qingqing's accident, that person has taken over all of her resources, and his status has skyrocketed."
"Being backstabbed by the most trusted friend? Do you have any evidence?" Although Su Yin didn't understand the things in this world, he knew that taking over resources was not considered evidence.
"She was at the event with Miss Qingqing at the time, and she was the only one who knew what Miss Qingqing was wearing. She had the time to imitate Miss Qingqing and film this video. She must have been an assistant she bribed!"
"This is just your speculation, not evidence."
Xiao Zhang immediately became discouraged. "If I had substantial evidence, I would definitely go and prove Miss Qingqing's innocence."
Su Yin couldn't help but ask, "Are you so sure that she is innocent?"
"How could a person who didn't show any aggression even after going crazy do something like what was shown in the video?"
Xiao Zhang said silently, "Any drunk man on the street would probably be more dangerous than a mentally ill person like her."
Su Yin stared at Ji Qingqing, who was curled up in the corner, for a while, then turned and said to Xie Lingxu, "Investigate her."
According to others, Xie Lingxu's family in this world is definitely a noble family, so it shouldn't be difficult to find out.
Since she was the one who asked, Xie Lingxu agreed without hesitation.
Xiao Zhang hadn't expected the surprise to come so quickly. In his excitement, he even forgot to express his gratitude. He quickly slid down to Ji Qingqing's side, held her hand, and choked out a sob, "Miss Qingqing, did you hear that? The Young Sect Master and the Dean will investigate what happened back then! Soon, everyone will know you're innocent!"
However, Ji Qingqing, who was in her own emotions, did not respond to his excitement. Instead, she curled up even tighter, buried her face between her knees, and did not dare to look up.
Xiao Zhang felt both distressed and helpless, and could only stay by her side silently to help her through this difficult period.
Su Yin looked at Xiao Zhang twice more, ignored them, and moved back to the big sofa from the single sofa.
Xie Lingxu moved over immediately afterwards.
Su Yin patted the seat next to him and motioned him to come sit over. "Don't you even ask me why I'm helping Ji Qingqing?"
"You certainly have your reasons." Xie Lingxu said as he sat down next to her.
After saying that, he added, "It's okay if there is no reason."
Su Yin smiled. After he sat down, she rushed over, put her arms around his shoulders, and whispered in his ear, "I like it."
Those two words successfully made his ears turn red.
"Xie Lingxu, you have to stay like this."
"Um."
After receiving a positive answer, Su Yin pried his arms apart, moved her buttocks, sat on his thighs, and twisted left and right to adjust her posture.
Xie Lingxu's muscles had been tense since the moment she approached him. Now he held his breath and stood stiffly, letting her do what she wanted.
At one point, he couldn't help it anymore, so he grabbed her wrist, pecked it lightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't move."
Su Yin's eyes turned away dimly, and she twisted them a few more times in front of him.
"whee."
The next second, she couldn't laugh anymore. Something was poking at her butt, which was very noticeable and uncomfortable.
Su Yin straightened up and tried to leave, but was pushed back. Just as she was about to glare at this man who had no self-control, she heard him ask, "You want to tell me why you're helping Ji Qingqing, right?"
"Yes!" Su Yin's expression suddenly brightened after being interrupted.
"One of my masters encountered this kind of thing before."
Xie Lingxu breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly and tried to calm himself down silently, but he was unwilling to let her leave.
When she started talking, Su Yin could even ignore the thing under her butt. She moved it slightly to prevent it from poking her, and then let it go.
"That old man came from another sect of the evil ways. He has a very strange temper, strange skills, and a bad reputation. He was abandoned by his original sect, and then he came to the Xiaoyao Sect. Although his reputation is not very good, my father felt that we should not bury such talent, so he accepted him."
At first, Su Yin had a prejudice against the old man, not because of the rumors outside, but simply because every time she saw the old man, he always had a sour face, as if someone owed him tens of thousands of dollars. She hated people who always looked like they were about to shit on other people's heads.
Later, by chance, Su Yin witnessed the old man's martial arts and was instantly impressed.
It’s nothing, it’s just too strong!
Just have a sour face, as long as you are strong, that's all.
She begged and pleaded, asking more than ten times a day. After half a year of persistence, the old man finally gave in and accepted her as his apprentice.
After laying so much groundwork, Su Yin began to get to the point. "Later, I pried some things out of the old man, about his past."
Xie Lingxu understood what she meant, "Is it similar to what Ji Qingqing experienced?"
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Su Yin almost wanted to applaud him, what a supporter!
"The old man once accepted a disciple who was said to be very talented. The old man took a liking to him and trained him as his successor. The man certainly lived up to the old man's expectations and learned all of his skills."
"The old man thought he had found a treasure, but he didn't know that was just the beginning of a nightmare."
After learning something, that person's true nature began to show. He relied on his skills to burn, kill, rob, rape and plunder, committing all kinds of evil. He killed everyone from an eighty-year-old woman to a baby in swaddling clothes, without a trace of humanity.
However, because the martial arts he used were too special, the outside world thought that those things were committed by his master, the old man, so they criticized the old man and even came to his house for revenge again and again.
The old man explained, and later tried to catch the evil disciple himself, but the man claimed that he did those things under the old man's instructions. Later, he turned to the devil and disappeared, leaving the old man alone to endure the insults and condemnations of the world.
"Actually, at first I also thought it was that old man who did those notorious things. After all, he looks very gloomy and inhumane. But my father said that he shouldn't be the kind of person that the outside world rumored. He said that he has never harmed innocent people since he became famous. It's impossible for him to become the kind of person who makes an entire village kill each other for fun overnight..."
Xie Lingxu could no longer hear what Su Yin said next. The familiar story made his blood run cold. He lowered his eyes and stared at Su Yin with deep emotions in his eyes.
Su Yin was talking to herself, not noticing, and added at the end: "Oh, by the way, the name of that technique is Soul-Snatching Gu."
The three words "Soul-stealing Gu" were like a heavy punch, hitting Xie Lingxu's heart.
Uncharacteristically, he brought up the world of immortal cultivation for the first time: "What do you mean by enjoying the whole village killing each other?"
Su Yin moved her ears and felt that his current condition was a bit strange.
"It was that old man's apprentice. I don't know what he was thinking, but he suddenly cast a Soul-Snatching Gu on an entire mortal village, causing fathers and sons to kill each other, and mothers and daughters to hack each other. I was just born when that incident happened, so I don't remember the details. It's said that even the moonlight was red that night. This incident also caused the old man to bear the infamy for more than twenty years."
Xie Lingxu murmured softly, "Yes, even the moonlight is red..."
He then asked, "Is the person who started this in the Demonic Path?"
Su Yin paused before replying, "Well, I later found out that the guy is very popular in the demon world and is said to have even risen to the position of a small boss."
"Okay." Xie Lingxu stopped talking.
Su Yin once again felt a faint sense of disharmony in his heart, as if something was wrong.
She didn't know what she was feeling when she asked, "Why do you ask this suddenly?"
Xie Lingxu raised his eyelids, his dark pupils were like a sea, boundless and bottomless.
He said: "Nothing, I just think that kind of person should pay the price."
It turned out that it was just the good guy's indignation, and Su Yin relaxed without even realizing it.
Once he relaxed, he started talking more. "It's not that easy to pay the price. Even though the old man is so strong, he can't go into the Demonic Path alone to clean up the sect. As for others."
Su Yin laughed sarcastically, "Look at that so-called light of righteousness. He's really good at targeting me. I haven't seen him go to the demonic path to eliminate harm for the people. He's just picking on the weak."
Xie Lingxu fell silent. His waist, which had always been straight, collapsed for the first time. He rested his forehead on her shoulder and could only say silently in his heart, "I'm sorry."
It turned out that he had always hated the wrong person, it turned out that she was innocent from the beginning to the end, and it turned out that his previous actions were so ridiculous.
...It turned out that he could be so timid. Even now, he still didn't dare to reveal his identity, afraid of seeing her sad and disgusted eyes, afraid of her distance from him, afraid of losing her.
At this moment, Xie Lingxu did not feel the slightest bit of relief at knowing the truth. Instead, he fell into deep regret. He hugged Su Yin tightly, as if grabbing the only piece of driftwood on the sea.
