Being questioned by Chen Jiuying like this, Chen Li couldn't help but feel relieved. If this woman had remained silent, that would have been a serious problem.
Don't ask him how he knew...sigh.
You'd better hurry up and explain...if you delay any longer, you might not even have the chance to explain.
Chen Lidao: "Madam, I am really wronged..."
Chen Jiuying said calmly, "That's what all the damned people said."
Chen Li thought about it and decided to do something ruthless. He said sincerely, "How about, Madam...I swear to you a heavenly oath?"
"This trick won't work. Don't think I don't know. You must have something to conceal the secrets of heaven, some oath to heaven. You may be able to deceive those young female cultivators who are inexperienced in the world, but you are still a little naive if you want to deceive me." Chen Jiuying sneered, and looked at Chen Li with an increasingly unfriendly look.
Chen Li: “…”
This was a mistake. The trump card he was so proud of was of no use, and this woman became even more difficult to deal with.
This trick has always worked before, but this time I was ready to try it for real, and damn, it didn't work.
Chen Li felt a mix of emotions, and said, "I, Chen Li, have always been aboveboard. I will never admit to anything I didn't do, even if I die. Today, I'm laying down these hundred-plus pounds here. You can kill me or chop me up, as you wish."
"Okay! That's what you said. I'm going to hit you hard later, so you better be patient." Chen Jiuying didn't get angry but laughed instead. A golden light flashed in his hand, and a jade whip, a top-grade spiritual weapon, appeared in his hand.
When Chen Li saw this, his face changed immediately and he felt miserable.
Even the tactic of going against the grain failed. Isn't this just asking for trouble?
You have to eat the bitter fruit you sow, even with tears.
Chen Li gritted his teeth and said, "Come on."
Chen Jiuying put away the whip, but it didn't hit Chen Li in the end, just by a hair's breadth.
"A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. Madam, you are going too far!" Chen Li's face darkened. Can't you just be straightforward?
"Hmph, if you really did something that damnable, do you think you would have the chance to talk so much nonsense?" Chen Jiuying snorted lightly. Seeing Chen Li's deflated look, a smile appeared on the face of the middle-aged woman.
This answer made Chen Li stunned. This woman is not a good person.
It turned out that he didn't need to prove his innocence. This woman was playing tricks on him from beginning to end.
"Madam... since you already knew that my husband was innocent, why didn't you tell me earlier? You made me worry for so long." Chen Li said with a somewhat unnatural expression.
After going through this, he really couldn't laugh, especially when he thought about the whip that had hit him by a hair's breadth. Even now, he still felt a little bit upset.
"No flies will bite seamless eggs. Even if she didn't do it this time, she might not do it next time. From now on, stay away from that vixen Mu Mixuan." Chen Jiuying looked at Chen Li, feeling very dissatisfied.
Chen Li's eyes were full of innocence.
This time it was just a misunderstanding and he almost got himself into trouble. If it was true, wouldn’t he have lost his life?
Chen Li asked curiously, "Madam, how did you know that your husband was truly wronged?"
"I'm very observant and will not wrongly accuse a good person, and of course I won't let any bad person go." Chen Jiuying rolled her eyes at him.
In fact, the truth is that after a competition between her and Mu Mixuan, they were in a stalemate and neither could do anything to the other.
Afterwards, Mu Mixuan lifted up her sleeves, revealing the toad blood on her jade arm.
Then Chen Jiuying was stunned. Why didn’t you tell me about this earlier?
Now all the rumors have been refuted, and Chen Jiuying naturally has nothing to say.
"Madam, tell me, did this matter come from the mouth of that gossipy Song Lengzi? I'm going to find him to argue with him right away." Chen Li had no intention of letting the matter go. At the very least, he had to find out the thief who was plotting against him behind the scenes.
Otherwise he would be unable to sleep or eat.
This time it almost cost him his life. If it happened again, who could withstand it?
"Let's just forget about this matter. Old Song is an honest man. Maybe he just believed other people's slander." Chen Jiuying remembered that she had promised Old Song to keep it a secret for him.
"Yes, yes, madam is wise. It's getting late now, why don't we take a rest first." Chen Li smiled wryly, but in his heart he couldn't wait to find Song Langzi to discuss Taoism.
However, he believed that this matter could not have been planned by Song Langzi alone. The other party was good at talking, but he was far from being scheming.
Chen Jiuying snorted lightly: "Humph, I give you a little face, but you want to take advantage of it."
However, he finally came to the room with Chen Li. Just when they were about to rest, a sudden sound of shattering was heard.
This sudden change made their expressions change immediately, and their faces looked a little unnatural.
"Madam, please come down first and let your husband take a look." Chen Li said with a serious expression.
This cold jade bed is a top-grade spiritual weapon, how could it be broken? I suddenly had a bad feeling.
Chen Li opened the bed and couldn't help but twitch his lips. The thing he was most worried about had happened.
Haunted! ?
The fate of this cold jade bed is exactly the same as that of the bluestone that was used to pad the corner of the table in the yard before. It has lost all its vitality and become dull and lusterless.
I counted with my fingers again, but the secret was still unclear. It was all in vain.
"Husband, who dares to plot against us?" Chen Jiuying frowned and looked at the scene in front of her.
"Madam, please wait a moment. Let me investigate first. The thief may have left some clues." After Chen Li said this, he released his spiritual sense directly.
The next moment, he sensed a shocking scene in the backyard, and Chen Li suddenly felt unwell.
Who is it?
So, this time he was framed by this thief, and the other party just wanted to steal his treasure?
Fortunately... Fortunately, he had the foresight to collect all the treasures that were on display, otherwise he would have suffered a huge loss this time.
......
The next day, as soon as Chen Li went out, he met many villagers who came to report the situation to him.
At the same time, He Changsheng was walking out of Bai Miaoyin's house, leaning against the wall.
I was thinking of doing another simulation, but now I feel uncomfortable if I don’t simulate for a day.
A burst of hurried footsteps interrupted his thoughts.
"Human cultivator, are you obsessed with the land of gentleness, and that's why you keep putting off leaving the village?" Mo Lianyun said with suspicion as he thought about it.
Facing Mo Lianyun's scrutiny, He Changsheng said calmly, "You don't understand, so don't overthink it."
Not long after, Chen Li followed.
He Changsheng already knew his purpose, as this situation had occurred several times in the simulation.
He is now waiting for the plot to finish, and then he can leave the village safely. If he is not welcome here, he will find other places to stay.
The Yuhua Immortal Sect is more in line with sustainable development. As for the stingy old men in Xiaohe Village, they don't care even if someone wants to take him in as a disciple.
