It just so happened that Xukong had given her a task, so she didn't have to hide anything when she went to find Lu Ying.
Come to Lu Ying Palace.
After receiving the report from the immortal servant, Lu Ying already knew that Xu Qiuqian was coming, but he did not come out to see her immediately.
Xu Qiuqian didn't mind and waited for about half an hour before Lu Ying finally appeared.
In front of him was a handsome man in white. There was no expression on his face, but his eyes were clear. However, Xu Qiuqian knew that it would be impossible for someone who could become an Immortal Emperor to have clear and pure eyes.
This was her second time meeting Lu Ying.
Compared to Lu Ying's flattery in front of the Void last time, Lu Ying now seems too indifferent.
"I wonder what the Qiuhe Immortal Emperor wants to see me about?"
Xu Qiuqian was not fooled by Lu Ying's appearance and went straight to the point: "Not long ago, there was an unusual fluctuation in Xiandu. This fluctuation came from the tree in my palace. Did Emperor Lu Ying feel it?"
"Unusual fluctuations?" Lu Ying frowned, "I don't know."
At that time, he was doing his own things and did not pay attention to what was happening outside, but he just felt a fluctuation of divine power in his body, which meant that the Immortal Emperor was detecting him through divine power.
Could this be it?
"You really don't know?"
“I don’t know.”
Xu Qiuqian sneered: "That's strange, if you don't know, who would have replaced the tree? It's no one else except you!"
Hearing this, Lu Ying was stunned.
"What did you say? The tree was swapped? How is that possible!"
You know, that tree is the center of the formation, how could it be easily replaced?
"Now the tree that actually possesses the tree spirit has disappeared and its whereabouts are unknown. This is something that the Immortal Emperor and I have confirmed. How can it be impossible?"
"Impossible!" Lu Ying murmured, "If it were so easy to switch, I—"
At this he came back to his senses.
No, the other party is cheating him!
Lu Ying reacted and his eyes suddenly turned cold.
He said in a cold voice: "Even if the exchange is true, what does it have to do with me? Before Emperor Qiuhe came to find me, I had been staying in my own palace and even set up a barrier. I didn't even know what was happening outside. Could it be that Emperor Qiuhe wanted to slander me without any evidence?"
As he spoke, his expression became stern, "Even if the Immortal Emperor suspects me, it is only suspicion without evidence. If he really believes that I am the one who replaced the Immortal Tree, then the Qiuhe Immortal Emperor should produce evidence first!"
"Oh? Really?"
Xu Qiuqian walked closer to Lu Ying while transmitting his message through his spiritual sense.
"How can you be sure that I don't have evidence?"
Hearing this, Lu Ying was unmoved: "Since Emperor Qiuhe has evidence, then show it to him. Why do you have to be so sneaky?"
"Did you say that?" Xu Qiuqian stopped using telepathy and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I just took office recently and have nothing to do except repairing the Hejie. Now that the Hejie is on the right track, I have some free time, so it's inevitable that I'll take a tour of the entire Xiandu.
Guess what I found while I was wandering around?"
Lu Ying's heart trembled, but his face remained cold: "Qiu He Immortal Emperor, if you have something to say, just say it directly."
"When I passed by the outskirts, I met a man named Ling Yang."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ying's face changed drastically.
"You put him..."
He stopped talking halfway, set up a barrier around the two of them, and then said in a deep voice: "What did you do to him?! Qiu He, I'm warning you, if you dare to touch him, I will definitely die with you even if I have to sacrifice my own life!"
These words made Xu Qiuqian stunned.
"What is your relationship with him?"
She just mentioned the name, and it was like touching a reverse scale. Lu Ying didn't even bother pretending.
"What do you care about my relationship with him? What did you do to him?"
At this time, Xu Qiuqian came back to his senses and exclaimed in amazement: "I didn't expect that there is someone that Immortal Emperor Lu Ying cares about..."
Lu Ying's expression became even colder, and a terrifying spiritual pressure was released.
Then Xu Qiuqian's face also turned cold.
"You can continue, as long as you don't care about Ling Yang's life or death."
With just one sentence, the terrifying pressure dissipated instantly.
Lu Ying also took two steps back as if he had done his best, lowered his head, and after a moment, he slowly spoke: "I really don't know why the immortal tree was replaced. I swear on my heart that it was not me, and all this has nothing to do with Ling Yang. His memory has long been sealed by me."
After saying that, he raised his head again, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
"Qiu He Immortal Emperor, I beg you not to involve him. I am willing to do whatever you want me to do."
Xu Qiuqian was curious.
"What is your relationship with him?"
"He is my senior brother."
"Your senior brother?" Xu Qiuqian was surprised.
"But isn't his master one of the hundreds of ancient top formation masters?"
Lu Ying looked at her suddenly: "How do you know? He is willing to tell you something like this? No, that's not right. The Nine-Tailed Fox's inner elixir is there, so he can't recover his memory. Is there something wrong with him?"
Having said that, Xu Qiuqian felt that there was no need to continue testing.
She explained: "You should know that the Immortal Emperor left Xiandu for half a day before."
Lu Ying nodded.
It was because he knew this that he took advantage of the half day when the Immortal Emperor was away to do his own things, but he did not expect that the Immortal Emperor would come back so early.
"Is it you who caused the Immortal Emperor to leave?"
"You could say that, but that's not the point. The point is that I took advantage of his absence to take away the Nine-tailed Fox Inner Core from Ling Yang's area, allowing Ling Yang to recover his memory of the formation..."
"Wait, how is my senior brother now?" Lu Ying's face darkened.
"Don't worry, he's fine now, and the Immortal Emperor hasn't found him. If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself later."
But Lu Ying was still worried, but he also knew that his every move was likely to be closely watched. If he went to see Ling Yang, he would be walking into a trap, so he had to hold back for the time being.
Xu Qiuqian continued, "I learned about the Seven Stars Great Shift and Soul Relocation from him, and I replaced the Immortal Tree before the Immortal Emperor came back. You should be able to guess the rest, right? The Immortal Emperor sent me to investigate you. I originally wanted you to be the scapegoat, but I didn't expect you to be Ling Yang's junior fellow apprentice."
Speaking of this, Xu Qiuqian sighed.
While feeling fortunate that he had come to ask in advance, he was also worried about who should take the blame if Lu Ying couldn't be made to take it.
Xuan Bing is a good candidate, but Xuan Bing has already been tied to her.
What to do? What to do...
"wrong."
Lu Ying frowned and said, "How is that possible? Even if you can mobilize your divine power, the Immortal Emperor will find out if you have any thoughts that are detrimental to you. How could you replace the immortal tree without the Immortal Emperor noticing? The Immortal Emperor should also know this. It stands to reason that he would not let you investigate."
