Yun Xinyue clenched his hands tighter and tighter, almost breaking his hand bones, and sweat flowed down his forehead. He raised his head and said with great determination: "Master... I am not afraid, but I don't accept it! I, Yun Xinyue, am sincere. Why should I accept the Xuan Gang soul-stealing in public because of an outsider's unfounded words! Just because... he is your adopted son? If the Xuan Gang soul-stealing proves that I am innocent, will this matter be over? Your adopted son will at most be reprimanded... right? I don't accept it... Master, you will make our entire family feel disappointed... I don't accept it."
“Not convinced?” Yun Qinghong smiled faintly: “In that case, then this patriarch will make you convinced… Che’er!”
“Foster father.” Yun Che responded.
Yun Qinghong said solemnly: “Yun Xinyue had to accept the Xuan Gang Soul Capture because of you. After the Xuan Gang Soul Capture, if he was really related to the murder of Xiao Er and the Seventh Under Heaven, then you helped my Yun family get rid of a hidden scourge, which is a great achievement. At that time, the Elders Council will naturally reward you greatly, and the Yun family will also recognize you. But, if Yun Xinyue is innocent... then you are maliciously framing my Yun family's children. Even if you are my adopted son, I will never let you off easily! At that time, you must cut off all the meridians in your body on the spot to make amends... Do you dare to agree? If you don’t dare, then this Xuan Gang Soul Capture, you don’t have to do it!”
Cutting off all the meridians in his body… This extremely cruel consequence made everyone present shudder. Many members of the Yun family thought that Yun Qinghong suddenly exploded in favor of Yun Che, but after he said this, no one thought so anymore. Some even thought that Yun Qinghong was so cruel to his adopted son.
Although Yun Qinghong had nearly 100% confidence in Yun Che, he still left a way out for Yun Che... Cutting off all the meridians on one's own would be extremely terrifying in the eyes of any profound practitioner, even an emperor. However, he and Mu Yurou's meridians had been damaged for more than 20 years, but Yun Che was able to heal them all within two months. Even if he really cut off all the meridians on his own, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to recover.
“Okay!” Yun Che nodded without hesitation and said loudly: “If Yun Xinyue is proven innocent under the Xuan Gang Soul Capture, I will cut off all my meridians on the spot… If anyone disobeys, anyone present can do it on my behalf, and I will never resist!”
Yun Qinghong nodded slowly: "Yun Xinyue, now, do you have anything else to say?"
Things had come to this point, and Yun Qinghong had said so much, if Yun Xinyue still resisted, it would be abnormal. Yun Xinyue's chest rose and fell violently, and his legs were trembling faintly. He gritted his teeth and took a step forward, but he could no longer take the second step... because he knew better than anyone what the consequences would be after being captured by the Xuan Gang.
“Humph!” Yun Qinghong’s face was filled with anger, and he said in a deep voice: “Elder Law Enforcement, how should we deal with someone who insists on disobeying the orders of the Patriarch without violating the overall interests of the Yun Family?”
The law enforcement elder was shocked and said quickly: "Return to the master. If you disobey the master's order... at the very least, you will be confined. At the worst... at the worst, all your profound skills will be abolished and you will be expelled from the family."
“Yun Xinyue, do you want to become a cripple and be kicked out of your family, or do you want to go to this Holy Cloud Platform to prove your innocence? If you don’t know how to make such a simple choice, then it can only prove that what Yun Che said is not false!”
Yun Xinyue still did not move. His spirit was on the verge of collapse. In his fear and confusion, he could hardly hear Yun Qinghong's words.
“Since you still don’t want to go up to the Holy Cloud Platform, I can only ask someone to help you go up.” Yun Qinghong faced the position of the three great elders, with a look of respect: “Three great elders, I still need to trouble you for this matter. Only if the three great elders personally take charge of it, will it be the most convincing.”
Yun Jiang, Yun Xi, and Yun He all had a lot of experience. Yun Xinyue's current state had already made them all see the clues clearly. As soon as Yun Qinghong finished speaking, Grand Elder Yun Xi flew up and instantly appeared above Yun Xinyue. Before Yun Xinyue could react, a vast and powerful force had already enveloped his whole body. He didn't even have time to think of resisting, and everything in front of him was dark, and his mind was completely silent.
Even his body appeared on the Saint Cloud Platform in a kneeling position.
The great elder's profound power was so strong that people could not see anything clearly before Yun Xinyue appeared in the center of the Holy Cloud Platform. Her body was motionless, her eyes were open, but her gaze was unfocused, as if she had lost her soul.
In a flash, Grand Elder Yunxi returned to his seat. He said calmly, "His consciousness has been taken away by Xuan Gang. It will probably last for a quarter of an hour. If the Patriarch has any questions, feel free to ask him."
He watched helplessly as his proud son knelt before the eyes of the crowd like a criminal. The actions and words of the great elder clearly showed that he was on Yun Qinghong's side. Yun Waitian was shaking all over and roared angrily, "Okay... okay... you can ask whatever you want, ask whatever you want!! My son is innocent and is not afraid of any false accusations! Yun Qinghong, remember what you said before. If my son is innocent, this Yun Che... must sever all his meridians! And I will never forget the humiliation today!"
“Grand Elder, please be patient. Right now, aren’t you about to prove your son’s innocence? You should feel more at ease.” Yun Qinghong nodded to Yun Che: “Che’er, push me up. I want to listen carefully to every word he says.”
“Yes.” Yun Che responded, jumped off the stage, then took Yun Qinghong’s wheelchair and returned to the Holy Cloud Stage, landing in front of Yun Xinyue.
"Your Highness, what should we do?" Venerable Yanlong said in a very light voice behind Prince Kaguya.
Prince Kaguya's face was as gloomy as water. He grasped the folding fan in his hand, slightly hooked his index finger, and made an obscure gesture.
“Grand Elder, Yubai, all of you go down. Fellow elders, keep an eye on the Grand Elder and don’t let him jump onto the Holy Cloud Platform without permission. As for Her Highness Kaguya, do as she pleases.” Yun Qinghong looked at Yun Xinyue in front of him and said slowly.
“Hmph.” Prince Huiye snorted lightly, but did not leave Shengyuntai. His eyes were fixed on Yun Qinghong’s back.
Mu Yubai and Yun Waitian both left Shengyuntai as they were told. Yun Waitian said angrily, "I don't need anyone to watch over me! My son is absolutely innocent! Yun Qinghong, you'll regret it later!"
“Haha,” Yun Qinghong smiled faintly, “Yun Wai Tian, don’t think that you know everything about him just because you are his father. But I would like to believe that you are not aware of what he did. Che’er, you are the one who said that Yun Xinyue was involved in the murder of Xiao’er and Number Seven Under Heaven, so you should ask in person. Since you can find clues, then at least you know how to ask better than us.”
“Okay.” Yun Che nodded, and when his eyes met Yun Qinghong’s, they couldn’t help but smile at each other.
At the beginning of today's meeting, Yun Qinghong had been silent, so silent that people almost forgot his existence. But from the moment he opened his mouth, the whole situation fell completely under his control, destroying the prestige of Prince Huiye, leaving Helian Peng speechless, and making the emotions of everyone in the Yun family change with his every move and every word, and making all the voices of indignation for Yun Xinyue disappear. Even a few words made the Grand Elder personally restrain Yun Xinyue...
Yun Che rarely admired someone. He thought he would be the protagonist of the Yun Family Conference today, but he didn't expect that the real protagonist position would be easily taken away by Yun Qinghong. He sighed in his heart... No wonder I am so outstanding, it turns out that I have such a powerful father!
It can be seen that he was in those days!
When everyone in the Yun family was being led by the perfect script, Yun Qinghong saw through everything in silence. When everyone was questioning and laughing at Yun Che, he chose to believe... and trusting or not requires sufficient wisdom.
Yun Che took a step forward, and when his body was level with Yun Qinghong, he wanted to remind Yun Qinghong to be careful of someone who might suddenly kill him, but he swallowed the words before he could say them. He believed that with Yun Qinghong's wisdom, he didn't need to remind him at all.
“What’s your name?” Yun Che stood in front of Yun Xinyue and asked seriously.
"Yun Xinyue..." Yun Xinyue's voice was slow and lifeless, but clear enough to be heard.
"How old are you?"
"Twenty-seven years old..." Yun Xinyue said as a stream of drool flowed from the corner of her mouth and fell to the ground.
"What type of girl do you like best?"
"Butt... big..."
“Oh! I didn’t realize that we actually have something in common.” Yun Che’s eyes widened: “Which girl have you slept with recently?”
"The chrysanthemum girl in Zuixiang Tower..."
"Puff"... the audience immediately spit all over the floor.
“Asshole!!” Yun Waitian’s beard stood up straight, and he pointed at Yun Che and cursed: “What kind of bullshit questions are you asking! You… you… you are clearly delaying because you are guilty and afraid!”
Yun Che waved his hands hurriedly: “Great Elder Yun, calm down. This is not the first time I have seen the legendary Xuan Gang Soul Capture, so I want to test it out to see if it is the same as the legend. Whatever I ask, I will answer it… Well, the test is almost done. This Xuan Gang Soul Capture is indeed magical. It’s time to get to the point. However, this… The son of the great elder of the Yun family actually went to a brothel when he needed a woman… Oh! He would rather go to a brothel than rob and occupy decent women like some children of big families. I really admire him. But this Chrysanthemum girl… It sounds like the taste of Master Yun is a bit heavy…”
“You!!” Yun Waitian’s entire body was trembling, his eyes flashing with ferocity, he looked like he wished he could come up and fight Yun Che to the death.
“Oh! Immediately!” Yun Che coughed heavily, and casually glanced at the face of Prince Huiye who had been silent for a long time, and then said seriously: “Yun Xinyue, let me ask you, two months ago, why did you know that Yun Xiao and Number Seven Under Heaven would meet outside the city?”
Yun Che didn't ask "Do you know?" but "Why do you know?" Yun Wai Tian snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Under the Xuan Gang Soul Capture, everything he said came from the depths of his soul, and there won't be a single falsehood! Do you think he will make up any excuses if you guide him like this?"
But as Yun Xinyue spoke, Yun Waitian's expression instantly froze.
"That day... I passed by Yun Xiao's courtyard... and accidentally heard Yun Xiao sending a message to No. 7 in the World... We agreed to meet at Yuyun Pavilion at 10 o'clock the next morning... 70 miles outside the city..." Yun Xinyue answered slowly and clearly.
“Oh!” Yun Che nodded: “It’s almost the same as I expected. You really overheard Yun Xiao’s voice transmission.”
“This… this… ah…” Yun Xiao’s tongue was a little knotted. He remembered that on the first day he met Yun Che, Yun Che had asked him whether he had always used voice transmission to invite Number Seven Under Heaven, and whether anyone had eavesdropped on his voice transmission…
There was a burst of whispering from the audience. Yun Che's first question and Yun Xinyue's answer made those who were already beginning to have doubts suddenly sense something.
Yun Waitian's expression suddenly turned ugly, but he quickly shouted: "So what! Xinyue just happened to hear it... Could it be that he accidentally heard the voice transmission and was the thief who plotted against them!!"
