Chapter 25 The White Moonlight Kills the Male and Female Protagonists (25)
The Queen Mother of the West, adorned with countless hairpins and ornaments, trembled violently with anger.
His once calm and peaceful face was now gloomy and terrifying, and the sky, which had been shimmering and sparkling, was suddenly covered by dark clouds, dark and oppressive.
This clearly shows that the Queen Mother of the West was furious at this moment.
That was a treasured possession of hers, one she herself couldn't bear to use. She was just about to take it out to show it off when it was stolen!
Before the birthday banquet began, she even went to the forbidden area to take a look.
How come the spirit stones are gone before the birthday banquet is even over?!
"Investigate!! Investigate thoroughly!!"
"By sealing off all exits to the Western Sea and the nearby immortal mountains, the thief who stole my spirit stones must be among these people!"
The Queen Mother of the West was furious, so the investigation proceeded very quickly.
All the immortals who came to the birthday banquet were temporarily unable to leave and could only stay and watch this farce come to an end.
Although none of those present were suspects, all the disciples who were able to enter the Immortal Mountain were brought by them.
If it's discovered that he's one of their own disciples, they'll lose all face.
Soon, the most suspicious individuals were brought to the birthday banquet.
"Your Majesty, there is another highly suspicious person who is currently not on the Immortal Mountain."
"who?"
“Jin Shu, a disciple of Kunlun.”
The Queen Mother of the West looked at Canglan, her tone unfriendly.
Why is she considered a prime suspect?
"This morning, many disciples saw her emerge from the depths of the forest, looking flustered."
The Queen Mother of the West sneered.
"They've done something wrong and run away! Go find them!!"
Instantly, Jin Shu became the prime suspect.
Because someone saw her, but couldn't find her at the time, it would only make people suspect that she had run away beforehand.
While waiting for Jin Shu, the suspicions against the other disciples were quickly cleared.
"Canglan, look at the good disciple you've taught!! No wonder she's the daughter of the Emperor Hao, she's incredibly audacious, daring to steal even my things!!"
Immortal Venerable Canglan simply said one sentence.
"Once the matter is investigated, if it is indeed her doing, then I will not protect her and will leave it to the Queen Mother to deal with."
"Just don't feel bad about it when the time comes!"
"It is right to be punished for doing wrong. If small mistakes are not corrected, they will lead to huge and terrible ones. This is my way of educating people."
Seeing Canglan's attitude, the Queen Mother of the West's mood calmed down a little.
Soon, Jin Shu was brought to the main hall.
The Queen Mother of the West stared at her, her face cold and stern.
"You dare not kneel before me?"
"Your disciple has done nothing wrong, why do you kneel?"
"Heh... The daughter of Emperor Hao is quite stubborn, just like your father. She won't shed a tear until she sees the coffin!"
Jin Shu's eyes turned cold.
She raised her eyes, looked at the Queen Mother of the West, her back straight and her tone indifferent.
"My father died fighting for the immortals and was a hero of the six realms. If it weren't for him, the Queen Mother would still be here enjoying her birthday in peace and comfort."
Although I am of lowly status, I understand the principles of right and wrong.
As an elder, does the Queen Mother not even understand these principles?
The Queen Mother of the West slammed her hand on the table.
"Canglan, I didn't want to go to so much trouble to discipline your disciple, but now it seems that your disciple is arrogant and conceited, has stolen a treasure, and has fled to avoid punishment. I have no choice but to punish her!"
Canglan glanced at Jin Shu, her eyes filled with disappointment.
"Jin Shu, why aren't you kneeling down?!"
"I did nothing wrong."
"The evidence is conclusive, and you're still being stubborn?"
"Where did you get this evidence? Where is it? If the evidence is truly conclusive, then it's not too late for me to kneel."
Jin Shu's attitude completely enraged the Queen Mother of the West, and Cang Lan was also angered to the point of turning black.
