Chapter 128 Lifesaving Grace
Han Chuan also realized that Qin Yan was acting strangely, but what she said was true, so after thinking for a moment, he asked the question that was on his mind, "What about the life-saving thing you did for us? When I went to get the spirit herbs, I was attacked by a fifth-order fire demon beast. You gave me the only antidote pill you had, and in the end, you were injured by the fire demon beast and ran out of medicine. Fortunately, Jiang Ming found us before the poison took effect."
"That wasn't a Flame Demon Beast at all, but a Flame Beast that looked very similar to it. When I saw it approaching you, I thought that if I saved your life, you would definitely be grateful to me in the future, so I deliberately didn't warn you and chased it away and killed it before you could react, thus destroying the evidence."
The Flame Beast and the Fire Demon Beast look very similar, but the injury from it isn't poisonous. I'll pretend I only have one antidote left, and after you take it, I'll subtly let you discover that I was injured while chasing away the Fire Demon Beast. I'm hiding it from you because I didn't want you to feel guilty and refuse to take the medicine.
Qin Yan was about to cry. Stop it, you jerk! That's not how it is. You can't say that.
Unfortunately, her mouth wouldn't listen to her and continued to spout off steadily.
"And it wasn't just a coincidence that Second Senior Brother arrived. I knew he was there and deliberately led you around. I wasn't actually poisoned; I drugged myself to make it look like I was. But if I didn't detoxify myself in front of you, all my previous efforts would have been wasted."
After Qin Yan finished speaking, Jiang Ming seemed to realize something, "Then what about the Frost Poison I was poisoned with back then?"
"That's not some kind of Frost Poison. I used an Ice-Freezing Talisman on you. That herb is just an Ice Silk Vine that looks a lot like the Frost Ghost Grass. I don't know if I was lucky or if you guys were just not good at it and couldn't tell the difference."
This really stirred up a hornet's nest. The other idiotic senior brothers also realized that Qin Yan's act of saving their lives or doing them other favors was a trick. They all questioned her, and Qin Yan confessed everything. The scene was extremely chaotic.
However, everyone understood that Qin Yan deliberately created various life-saving graces to win people's hearts, and then specifically instructed everyone not to tell anyone. As a result, several senior brothers felt that they were the most special one, and that Qin Yan had saved their lives.
Dao Yan Zhenren understood, but because he was concerned about his reputation, he didn't ask Qin Yan directly, which made Yun Xi quite regretful. She was really curious about what kind of scheme Qin Yan had set up for her master.
After everyone had asked how they had been deceived and learned the truth, the senior brothers were filled with regret. They had offended their junior sister Yunxi, who was sincere to them, for such an ingrate. Not only that, but they had also lost one or two minor cultivation levels.
Seeing that the private matters within Dao Yan Zhenren's sect had been clarified, Elder Hu remembered the original purpose of this meeting and asked Qin Yan, "So, it wasn't some demon impersonating Dao Yan Zhenren or Yun Xi Zhenren, but you who interfered for your own selfish reasons?"
Everyone thought Qin Yan would confess directly, but Qin Yan dropped a bombshell.
"I am a member of the demon race, but I have never impersonated Yunxi or my master!"
"Whoosh~"
Inside the council hall, several elders and members of the Law Enforcement Hall immediately drew their swords at Qin Yan.
After saying that, Qin Yan's face turned really pale. She thought to herself, "What's wrong with me? Why can't I control my mouth today? It's over, everything is over."
Everyone else was also completely shocked; they were demons!
Yun Chen finally acted like a sect leader, immediately throwing the Immortal Binding Rope at Qin Yan to trap her.
"All of you go to the Hall of Repentance to receive your punishment, and then spend three months reflecting on your mistakes." This was said to Han Chuan and his fellow disciples. As for Dao Yan, he was a Nascent Soul cultivator after all, so he had to be given face. Besides, Yun Chen had also realized that he had been fooled by Qin Yan, and he and Dao Yan were in the same boat, so only a few juniors were punished.
"Yunxi, you've been wronged. I will make it up to you." Yun Chen's fatherly love for Yunxi returned. After speaking to Yunxi, he turned to remind Elder Hu to speed up the arrangements for the Nascent Soul Ceremony.
Qin Yan is the only one left. She needs to be interrogated behind closed doors, as it's not appropriate to involve so many people. Yun Chen will entrust this matter to Elder Lingdu of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Yunxi was quite curious to know about the interrogation process at the Enforcement Hall, but she knew she definitely wouldn't be allowed to participate.
So she came up with another excuse to approach Qin Yan, "Since you are a member of the Demon Clan, you are not worthy of the Qingyun Sword. Return the Qingyun Sword to me immediately."
Yunxi pretended to be impatient to snatch the sword, and then took the opportunity to put the puppet potion on Qin Yan. She had prepared the puppet potion during the chaos, and because the puppet potion was colorless and odorless and did not contain any spiritual power, and because everyone's attention was on the Qingyun Sword because of Yunxi's reminder, the puppet potion did not attract the attention of the big shots in the hall.
Yun Chen did see the water in Yun Xi's hands, but he thought she was crying because she was upset. It was just the right misunderstanding.
With the puppet potion, Yunxi could "listen" to Qin Yan's interrogation.
Yun Chen quickly made arrangements and dismissed everyone. He himself planned to go back and avoid trouble. He felt guilty for being fooled by a little girl and for not treating his own daughter well. Fortunately, his Daoist partner was in seclusion, so he had to go back and think of a way to make amends.
The farce ended just like that. Perhaps because Qin Yan didn't seem to be very powerful, everyone, including Yun Chen, thought she was just an ordinary spy whose mission within the sect was to pass on messages to the demons, and that it wasn't a big deal.
Which sect doesn't have one or two demon spies? They can only get ordinary information; they certainly can't get access to core information.
Yun Chen hadn't expected that Qin Yan's background was even more impressive than they had imagined; they had all been deceived by her seemingly harmless appearance.
However, that will have to wait until after the elders of law enforcement have interrogated him. Right now, Yun Chen's mind is full of thoughts about how to coax his daughter and make amends for his previous mistakes.
Upon returning to her cave, Yunxi immediately sent a message to Ningxuan. The potion was so effective that it was as inconspicuous as ordinary water, yet its effects were so powerful that even cultivators were affected. Yunxi decided to trade for some more to prepare for any eventuality.
Ning Xuan thought that it would be convenient for her to trade with Katerina later, and she also had a lot of high-level potions on hand, so she gave Yunxi 5 bottles of the Superior Truth Potion, kept 3 bottles for herself, and gave Yunxi some of the other potions as well, explaining their uses one by one.
Yunxi put away the medicines, and then looked at the Qingyun Sword she had taken back. She was a little annoyed because Qin Yan had taken the sword, and she felt uncomfortable about it. She didn't want it anymore, but her father and the others had left in time, and she hadn't had a chance to return the sword to them.
