Rong Lianhu was furious. Although they were both under the military headquarters, the discipline inspection and combat troops were two separate systems. Since they said they would act according to regulations, he couldn't make a scene. He could only say with a sullen face, "Since it's a misunderstanding, I would like to ask you comrades to investigate the matter thoroughly before taking any action, so as not to cause any negative impact."
The officers nodded sheepishly and left with two officers.
Wei Guodong waved for the onlookers to leave, leaving only Chief of Staff Fang Xingrong, Wei Jingqi, and Xiang Ruyi.
Wei Guodong asked, "Commander Rong, what's going on?"
Rong Lianhu looked at Rong Jiaojiao and Qing Xuanzi. Wei Guodong and Fang Xingrong looked at them. What does this have to do with Qing Xuanzi and the others?
Qing Xuanzi glanced at Wei Jingqi and Xiang Ruyi and said, "Let's go inside and talk."
Xiang Ruyi's heart skipped a beat, thinking, "They shouldn't have any evidence."
Rong Lianhu closed the door, and everyone went into the living room. They all looked at Qing Xuanzi, waiting for his explanation.
Without further ado, Qing Xuanzi took out a recording talisman and displayed everything that had happened at the Rong family's house that morning.
Then they threw out a radio and books. Not only was the radio not bad, but the books were all in foreign languages, which made everyone present even angrier.
Xiang Ruyi never expected that there was a recording talisman in this courtyard. If she had known, she wouldn't have taken matters into her own hands.
She shouldn't have been so hasty. She should have continued searching once she found a suitable candidate, and only taken action after finding the right person.
Wei Guodong and Fang Xingrong were shocked by everything the paper figure did, and then they became angry.
Although Fang Xingrong knew that Rong Jiaojiao and Wei Jingqi had become Taoist priests, this was the first time he had witnessed such a scene. After his surprise came anger, and he cursed, "Shouldn't Taoists be detached from worldly affairs? How could they use magic to do such trivial things and even use it to frame war heroes? It's truly shameful."
Xiang Ruyi was furious to be called shameless to her face, but she couldn't refute him, so she could only sulk in her heart.
Wei Guodong, however, felt that this matter was unusual. He looked at Qing Xuanzi and asked, "Do you know who did it?"
Qing Xuanzi looked at Xiang Ruyi, who retorted angrily, "It wasn't me who did it, why are you looking at me?"
Although she tried her best to remain calm, everyone could still tell that she was guilty.
Even Wei Jingqi, a straight man, noticed something was wrong with her and asked incredulously, "Junior sister, is that you? Why?"
Xiang Ruyi burst into tears. She wasn't afraid of anything else, but she was afraid that Wei Jingqi would hate her.
"Senior brother, how could you doubt me?"
Qing Xuanzi said calmly, "Those little paper figures are still in my hands. They still have the residual aura of their master on them. If I report it, it will be easy to find out who it is."
Xiang Ruyi, in a fit of desperation, said, "All I wanted was for the Rong family to leave this military region and for my senior brother to never see Rong Jiaojiao again. What's wrong with that?"
Rong Jiaojiao has always known that everyone is selfish; it's human nature, and it's normal to have some ulterior motives.
But that's on the premise of not harming others. For example, you may have money, but you have the right not to use it for charity.
But one must never act like Xiang Ruyi, framing war heroes for one's own ridiculous suspicions, not even ordinary people.
Rong Jiaojiao was filled with resentment. Xiang Ruyi's actions undoubtedly cost her parents their lives and even implicated her two older brothers.
If it weren't for so many concerns, Rong Jiaojiao would have loved to kill Xiang Ruyi right now.
Seeing that her daughter's expression was off, Fu Ya quickly grabbed her hand and wouldn't let go.
Everyone found this turn of events hard to accept. Although Wei Guodong loved his son dearly, he could not tolerate this.
He said, "Miss Xiang, your behavior has violated the law and you must be investigated."
Xiang Ruyi's face turned pale. This was a great humiliation for him. He turned around and tried to run away, but was bound by a spell cast by Qing Xuanzi.
Wei Jingqi looked at Xiang Ruyi in disbelief: "Junior sister, is it really you? Why did you do this?"
Xiang Ruyi screamed hysterically, "You all forced me to this! If you hadn't admired Rong Jiaojiao so much, how could I have..."
Rong Jiaojiao was speechless. How could she be blamed for this? This person is truly unreasonable.
Wei Guodong said, "Please keep an eye on her for me, Master. I'll go back and report right now."
Qing Xuanzi shook his head: "There's no need to report it." He took out a phone number and handed it to Wei Guodong: "This is Senior Tian Shu's number. It's more appropriate to leave this matter to their sect."
Wei Guodong breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he was really worried that Xiang Ruyi would turn against him, and he wouldn't be able to do anything about it then.
But Xiang Ruyi was afraid. If her senior brother Tian Shu knew, it would be the same as all her elders knowing.
Thinking of her master's stern warning and knowing that she could not escape severe punishment, she was filled with regret.
Qing Xuanzi looked at the distraught Xiang Ruyi, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable authority: "Since you have entered the Daoist sect, you should abide by its rules. Now that you have committed such a mistake, it can only be handed over to your sect. I believe your sect will make a fair judgment."
After saying that, he changed his hand seals, and a ray of spiritual light entered Ru Yi's body, temporarily sealing her cultivation to prevent her from taking any further rash actions.
Fang Xingrong frowned, his face full of indignation: "Isn't it too easy for her to just hand it over to the sect like this? To put it bluntly, her actions are tantamount to endangering the lives of Commander Rong's family. We must give her an explanation."
Xiang Ruyi shouted, "No, I didn't mean to kill them. I just wanted them to leave this military region."
Fu Ya retorted angrily, "We all came from the battlefield, and it's not an exaggeration to call us heroes, is it? You're framing a war hero as a spy, do you think we can still live?"
Xiang Ruyi argued, "It's just a radio, not a real spy."
She went to the county town and saw people being criticized and denounced, forced to clean toilets, and driven to live in cowsheds. She wanted them to suffer the same fate. That way, Wei Jingqi would definitely look down on Rong Jiaojiao. She didn't want them to die.
The people present became even angrier. Fang Xingrong was about to speak when Rong Lianhu patted Fang Xingrong on the shoulder and gave him a wink, telling him not to confront Xiang Ruyi.
The other party was a Taoist practitioner and a petty person; he didn't want Fang Xinrong to be resented for speaking up for him.
He said, "Master Qingxuan must have his reasons for making this arrangement. We are in the military and shouldn't interfere too much with the rules of the cultivation world. As long as this matter is handled fairly, it doesn't necessarily have to go through us."
Fang Xingrong stopped talking. Seeing that Xiang Ruyi couldn't escape, Wei Guodong picked up his things and left with Fang Xingrong, Wei Jingqi, and Xiang Ruyi. That radio was no ordinary radio; he wanted to find out its origin.
After everyone left, Rong Lianhu and Fu Ya checked the time and said to Rong Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, you stay home. We're going to work now. We can talk about it when we get back tonight."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded, and after the couple went to work, she asked Qing Xuanzi, "Master, what do you think Xuanji Sect will do with Xiang Ruyi?"
Qing Xuanzi gave her a reassuring look and said, "Xuanji Daoist is a man who cannot tolerate any imperfections. This girl will not have an easy time."
Rong Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief; she was finally at ease.
The thought of not having thoroughly explored the secret realm made her eager to see it. She whispered, "Master, I want to see the changes in the treasure."
Qing Xuanzi nodded: "Go and set up the formation."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded and carried Zi Ling, who had transformed into a kitten, into the room.
After setting up the formation, they entered the secret realm.
As soon as they entered, they were enveloped in a rich spiritual energy. Rong Jiaojiao was overjoyed: "This spiritual energy is almost as strong as the main peak. It seems that the little secret realm has gained another small spiritual vein this time."
Zi Ling jumped up and down with joy, unable to contain her excitement.
At this moment, Rong Jiaojiao was standing under the small black tree.
The little black tree has now become a real sapling, three or four meters tall, with many new branches and leaves growing out of it. The branches are also dotted with tiny purplish-red flower buds, each bud about the size of half a palm.
