Chapter 688 Solving One by One
The person Yun Qingqing pointed out was one of the three people who had gone to get something together.
Xuanyuan wins.
"What?!" Xuanyuan Sheng took a step back, his face instantly turning pale, "Pavilion Master Yun, please stop slandering me!"
"This..." A young disciple took a breath of cold air, "Brother Sheng is usually the most stable, how could he do such a thing? Is this a mistake?"
"I was wondering why he was so excited just now..." another female disciple whispered softly, and her sleeve was pulled by her companion beside her.
Xuanyuan Zhao frowned:
"The three of us have just been acting together. Pavilion Master Yun said that Junior Brother Sheng hid the Soul Jade. Could it be that he wants to say that Junior Sister Yu and I are also accomplices?"
Yun Qingqing said calmly:
"That's not the case. I just pointed out the current location of the Soul Jade."
Xuanyuan Zhao frowned even more tightly and was about to say something but was interrupted by the great elder.
"Alright." Xuanyuan Song said in a deep voice, "The most important thing right now is to find the Soul Jade."
Several elders looked unhappy.
Xuanyuan Sheng has always been a kind person, and they really don't want to believe that he would do such a thing.
But because of Yun Qingqing's previous behavior, they had to consider carefully what she said.
Xuanyuan Yu suddenly stepped forward and said seriously:
"I believe in Brother Sheng! His character is obvious to everyone. How can we convict him based on what an outsider says?"
"Junior sister..." Xuanyuan showed gratitude on his face.
Xuanyuan Yu looked at him and said:
"I believe that my brother is upright and has nothing to fear. Since Pavilion Master Yun insists that the Soul Jade is hidden in my brother's Qiankun bag, why not let my uncle personally examine it and we will know for sure."
"Junior sister, what you said makes sense. Of course I'm not afraid!" Xuanyuan Sheng nodded immediately and reached out to open the Qiankun bag.
“Wait a minute,” Xuanyuan Yu stopped him and turned to look at Yun Qingqing again, “But if Senior Brother Ruosheng doesn’t have the Soul Jade in his Qiankun bag, then Pavilion Master Yun must also give an explanation for slandering Senior Brother!”
Yun Qingqing looked at her calmly:
"Things have to be solved one by one. I won't wrongly accuse anyone. If there is no soul jade in his Qiankun bag, I will leave it to you to deal with."
Xuanyuan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at her for a moment:
"...I hope Pavilion Master Yun will keep his word!"
Xuanyuan Sheng immediately took off the Qiankun bag, untied the restrictions, and handed it to the elder:
"Master, I have a clear conscience!"
Xuanyuan Song picked up the Qiankun bag and took out the items one by one in front of everyone: a few bottles of elixirs, two magic tools, a stack of talismans...
Everything was carefully checked, but there was no trace of the Soul Jade.
"Pavilion Master Yun..." Xuanyuan Song frowned, "There is indeed no soul jade in this Qiankun bag."
Xuanyuan Sheng straightened his back and said with a stern face:
"I am an upright person. How could I do such a treasonous thing?"
Xuanyuan Yu looked at Yun Qingqing:
"Master Yun, the evidence is now solid. Senior Brother Sheng has been wrongly accused! You just swore that the Soul Jade was in his Qiankun bag. Isn't it time to give an explanation now?"
"That's right!" A young disciple couldn't help but shout, "Brother Sheng usually takes care of us fellow disciples and sisters, how could he steal the Soul Jade!"
"Master Yun..." Xuanyuan Song hesitated for a moment and sighed, "I respect your ability, but today's incident... Sheng'er was indeed wronged."
The atmosphere in the stone chamber suddenly became tense, and all eyes were focused on Yun Qingqing.
Yun Qingqing sighed softly and pointed at the pile of things in front of Xuanyuan Song:
"Great Elder, why don't you take a look at those talismans? There is one that doesn't belong to your disciple. You should be able to tell it."
Everyone was confused by her words. Xuanyuan Song subconsciously cast his eyes on the stack of talismans he had taken out of the Qiankun bag and was about to reach out his hand.
Xuanyuan Yu suddenly said:
"What do you mean, Pavilion Master Yun? We are clearly talking about you wrongly accusing Senior Brother Sheng of stealing the Soul Jade, why are you changing the subject to the talisman?"
Yun Qingqing glanced at her coldly and said in a calm voice:
"Since you insist on saying so, then I'll make it clearer. There is a Heaven-level Mustard Seed Talisman in that stack of talismans."
"And the Soul Jade is hidden in that talisman!"
Xuanyuan Yu's pupils shrank slightly, and he turned to look at the pile of symbols in shock:
“No way…”
"Ridiculous! Junior sister, don't listen to her nonsense!" Xuanyuan Sheng was furious. "Pavilion Master Yun thinks too highly of me. Not to mention that a Heaven-level talisman requires cultivation comparable to that of Master and other senior brothers to be made, even if I, a disciple, get this talisman, I can't activate it at all! How can I use it to secretly hide the Soul Jade!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Song, who had already started to check the talisman, changed his expression, took out a talisman, and said in a deep voice:
"It really exists... This is a Heaven-level Mustard Seed Talisman!"
The entire stone chamber fell silent in an instant, and everyone stared at the talisman in the hands of the great elder with wide eyes.
Xuanyuan Sheng's pupils shrank:
"This... this is not my talisman! I have never seen anything like this before..."
Xuanyuan Song frowned, spiritual power surged at his fingertips, activating the talisman. Ripples suddenly appeared around the talisman, and with a light "hum" sound, a piece of emerald green jade slowly emerged from the ripples!
"Soul Jade!" Xuanyuan Song exclaimed, and immediately took the jade in his hand. He felt somewhat relieved and was glad to have found it back.
But at the same time, he was filled with anger and looked at Xuanyuan Sheng coldly:
"What else do you have to say!"
“No... this is impossible!” Xuanyuan Sheng’s face turned pale, and he fell to the ground with weak knees. “Uncle Master, please understand! I have no idea why this thing is in my Qiankun bag! I am innocent!”
"You might as well confess the truth, you evil disciple!" A tall and thin elder threw out a chain, tied up Xuanyuan Sheng, and said angrily, "Of course you don't have the ability to do this on your own! Tell me, who gave you this talisman and instructed you to do such a thing of betraying your ancestors!"
Xuanyuan Sheng was speechless and shook his head desperately, speaking incoherently:
"Disciple, disciple, no... Master, don't you even believe in my character..."
Xuanyuan Yu's eyes were filled with shock and pain, and she interrupted him: "Brother Sheng... I just defended you in vain! Why would you do such a thing! "
"It's not me!" Xuanyuan Sheng said anxiously, "Junior Sister Yu, even you don't believe me anymore!"
"Then you should explain clearly how this talisman got into your Qiankun bag!" Xuanyuan Yu said sadly, "Each Qiankun bag has its owner's restrictions. If someone else had secretly moved it, wouldn't you have discovered it?"
"I..." Xuanyuan Sheng's face turned pale and he fell to the ground. "How could this happen... It really wasn't me... Whether you believe it or not..."
Xuanyuan Song closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice:
"The most urgent task right now is to repair the soul core. We will deal with your stealing of the soul jade later! Come, take him to the dark cell first!"
"Wait!" Yun Qingqing suddenly spoke.
Xuanyuan Song's expression paused, and he turned to look at Yun Qingqing with a puzzled look on his face.
"I've said before that we need to solve things one by one." Yun Qingqing lowered her eyes and looked at Xuanyuan Sheng, who was tied up like a dumpling, and said in a calm voice, "All along, I only said that the Soul Jade was in his Qiankun bag, but I never said that he stole the Soul Jade."
Xuanyuan Song was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly changed:
"you mean……"
"That's right." Yun Qingqing nodded, "He didn't lie, he was just framed."
"There is someone else who stole the Soul Jade and hid it in his Qiankun bag!"
