The others in the room thought to themselves that the Sun family was indeed cunning, having found the other side's weakness so quickly.
Now that number 333 is in trouble. He will soon be irrefutably proven guilty, and once he is expelled from Xiaoyao Tower, the Sun family will not let him go.
However, most people were just watching the show, thinking that this guy deserved to be slapped in the face now because he was so rude earlier.
"This..." The short, stout old man from Xiaoyao Tower hesitated. He really didn't want to get involved in this matter. After all, Zu'an was also a jade-branded customer. If he were really put in a bad position, it would also affect Xiaoyao Tower's reputation.
Just then, Zu'an's voice rang out: "You can investigate, but if you don't find anything, aren't you two going to apologize to me?"
The short, stout old man's expression was somewhat strange. He knew that the teacup had been smashed out of Zu An's room, but he really didn't understand why the other party would say such a thing. What was their reliance?
Yang Long and Sun Ji were even more confident: "Hehe, how could we not find out!"
Zuan said calmly, "There is nothing absolute in this world. If you refuse to apologize if you can't find out the truth, then I will refuse your search. Otherwise, it's not fair to me."
The short, stout old man smiled, thinking to himself that this man was indeed clever; so that was his plan.
At this moment, Sun Ji was also somewhat suspicious and tugged at Yang Long's sleeve, whispering, "Why is he so certain? Could there be some kind of conspiracy?"
Although he was usually arrogant, he was not stupid and immediately realized something was wrong.
Yang Long shook his head: "I'm sure the teacup was thrown out of his room."
"Alright!" Sun Ji believed in Lao Long's seventh-rank strength and grinned as he said to Zu An, "If we can't find out, we'll apologize to you. If we do find out, get out of Xiaoyao Tower!"
He wouldn't say it too obviously in front of so many people, but it was clear that as soon as the other party left, he would immediately send people to hunt him down and let him know what it meant to be unable to live or die.
"I hope everyone here will be my witness," Zuan bowed to the others in the hall, then said to the short, stout old man, "What is your name, sir?"
The short, stout old man was somewhat displeased, thinking to himself that these young people didn't even know to address me as a senior. Regardless of their age or cultivation level, shouldn't they show me some respect?
However, considering the other party's status as a jade pendant holder, he did not show it: "Everyone in the building calls me Fat Venerable."
Looking at his round figure, Zuan thought to himself that there are indeed only wrong names, not wrong nicknames: "Then please come to my room, Fat Venerable, and check if any teacups are missing."
The fat Venerable was somewhat puzzled. Where did the other party get this confidence? Did he expect me to come inside and he would try to bribe me?
Ha, that's a huge underestimation of me.
"Okay." He responded calmly, then lightly touched the ground with his toes and launched himself into the other party's private room. He was already prepared to handle the matter impartially; it was this guy's fault for being so presumptuous.
However, his expression quickly froze because he noticed that none of the teacups on the other person's table were missing. He was worried that he had made a mistake, so he went over to check them one by one. They were indeed all teacups from the building and could not be faked.
"Huh?" He wondered if he had misread it just now.
But how could I, a dignified ninth-rank official, be mistaken?
At that moment, Zu'an's voice came: "Fat Venerable, have you finished the examination?"
Of course, the other party couldn't tell that he had just used the "Key Comes" skill to create a teacup out of thin air. You should know that when he created the more complicated embroidered robes of the envoy, even Zhu Xie Chixin, a half-step grandmaster, couldn't see anything unusual, let alone a mere ninth-rank.
Having used "Key Come" multiple times, he had gained some experience. When creating something out of thin air, there was no need to make it permanent. It was enough for it to exist for a while to pass the inspection, which would minimize the backlash afterward.
Moreover, during his time on the ship, whenever he had free time, he would train his mental strength according to the incantation taught to him by Mi Li, so even a slight use of the "key" would have a manageable backlash.
"Watch closely." The fat Venerable went out with a puzzled look and announced the result, which caused an uproar.
"How could that be!" Sun Ji exclaimed first. "Fat Venerable, are you deliberately siding with him?"
The fat venerable one's face darkened: "Are you questioning my impartiality?"
Sun Ji was about to say something more when Yang Long stopped him. A ninth-rank expert was not someone the two of them could afford to offend right now. If a conflict really broke out, they wouldn't be able to wait for the Sun family's power to come to their rescue.
He hurriedly explained, "It's not that I don't believe in Your Excellency's impartiality, but the other party is too cunning. They might have used some trick to deceive us. It's normal that an upright person like Your Excellency wouldn't be able to see through it. So, could you let me go and take a look?"
Hearing the flattery in his words, the fat Venerable felt pleased, but at the same time, he didn't want to offend the Sun family too much, so he nodded in agreement.
Yang Long was overjoyed at the sight and hurriedly led Sun Ji to Zu An's room. He first glared at the other party with an unfriendly expression, and then began to check the room on his own.
Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, the two of them couldn't find any teacups that were the problem.
Zu An laughed and said, "What, did you two come here in person to apologize to me?"
"Apologize to your mother!" Sun Ji cursed angrily. For some reason, the mocking smile on the other person's lips made him feel like an ant.
Unfortunately, he had barely finished speaking when he let out a scream and was kicked away.
Yang Long was shocked to see this and rushed over to check. He saw that Sun Ji's face was purple and he was spitting blood, clearly indicating that he had suffered a serious injury.
