Chapter 690 The Biggest Flaw
"Quite the opposite," Yun Qingqing said coldly, "This memory just confirmed for me how she managed to get the Soul Jade from the tablet without anyone noticing."
Everyone was in an uproar, and several disciples couldn't help but loudly refute -
"Pavilion Master Yun, in the video, Senior Sister Yu didn't even touch the edge of the tablet!"
"That's right! She was following Senior Brother Zhao the entire time, so how could she have the chance to make a move?"
"This is clearly a far-fetched argument!"
Xuanyuan Yu's face turned pale, a hint of guilt flashed across his eyes, but he felt relieved because of everyone's support.
She looked at Yun Qingqing with a wronged look on her face, tightly pinching the corner of her sleeve and biting her lip, saying:
"If Pavilion Master Yun insists on slandering me, why not just do it directly? Why bother with all the mystique?"
Xuanyuan Zhao frowned, raised his hand to suppress the discussion, and said in a deep voice:
"Please, Pavilion Master Yun, stop playing tricks on me. Why don't you just be direct and clear? What evidence do you have to prove that Junior Sister Yu was responsible?"
Qi Mo opened his folding fan with a swish and chuckled, "It's so obvious, can't you see it?"
He pointed his finger, and the image on the light screen in the air quickly rewound, finally stopping at a secluded path.
In the picture, the shadows of trees are swaying, and the autumn wind blows dead leaves across the bluestone ground. This is the only place where the three people stopped briefly on their way back from the ancestral hall.
"Watch this." Qi Mo tapped his palm with his folding fan. "You haven't said a few words in the whole process, and this is one of them."
Everyone didn't quite understand what he meant and looked at the screen again in confusion.
Xuanyuan Yu suddenly stopped and exclaimed:
"ah……"
Xuanyuan Sheng and Xuanyuan Zhao turned around immediately:
"Junior Sister Yu, what's wrong?"
Xuanyuan Yu rubbed his eyes and shook his head:
"It's okay. I just got blinded by the sand... I'm fine now."
She lowered her hand, and the three of them continued walking in silence.
Qi Mo froze the scene, raised his eyebrows and looked at everyone:
"Did you see clearly?"
“…” Everyone looked at each other, still confused as to what he meant.
"What kind of evidence is this!" a disciple couldn't help but shout, "Being blinded by wind and sand is common, but is rubbing your eyes considered evidence of a crime?"
Xuanyuan Zhao also looked puzzled:
"Pavilion Master Yun, to convict Junior Sister Yu based on this alone is simply childish!"
Qi Mo sneered and pointed his folding fan at the edge of the light curtain:
"So many of you are staring at this scene. Is there something wrong with your eyes? I told you to look right here!"
Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing, puzzled, only to discover that he wasn't pointing at the person in the picture, but at a tree in the corner—
Half a fallen leaf was floating down with the wind, but it suddenly stopped the moment Xuanyuan Yu rubbed his eyes, and then disappeared out of thin air.
"This, this is..." A disciple suddenly widened his eyes, "Why are the leaves gone!"
Qi Mo snorted lightly, raised his hand and replayed this short memory again.
"Look! It's happening again!" another person exclaimed, pointing at the repeating image.
When the footage was replayed for the third time, everyone finally saw clearly - every time Xuanyuan Yu raised his hand to rub his eyes, the fallen leaf disappeared without a trace as if wiped away by an invisible hand.
"Then... the leaves disappeared..."
"Yeah...and what does that even mean?"
Some young disciples looked confused and didn't know what was going on.
"It's a memory gap!" Xuanyuan Zhao suddenly looked at Yun Qingqing with a serious expression.
Xuanyuan Sheng, who was still tied up, struggled to stand up and opened his eyes wide:
"Pavilion Master Yun is trying to say... that this memory is missing... that someone has tampered with Senior Brother's memory?"
"That's right." Yun Qingqing looked at him and said seriously, "You should have noticed that your memory is exactly the same as Xuanyuan Zhao's. You both had your memories modified at the same time."
Xuanyuan Sheng and Xuanyuan Zhao's faces turned pale, and they turned to look at Xuanyuan Yu.
Xuanyuan Yu stumbled back, shaking his head innocently.
"I... I don't know... Why are you looking at me? My memories are the same as yours! I'm a victim just like you. There must be someone behind the scenes... Why do you only suspect me?"
"Really?" Qi Mo sneered. "If that's the case, you should be willing to have your soul searched to prove your innocence, right?"
There was dead silence in the stone chamber.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xuanyuan Yu's expression changed again and again, and he gritted his teeth and nodded:
"Since you all doubt me, then search my soul!"
Qi Mo raised his eyebrows slightly and narrowed his eyes in surprise:
"Very good, in that case, let's show everyone what the truth is..."
He was about to raise his hand to perform soul-searching magic when Yun Qingqing suddenly spoke:
"it's useless."
Qi Mo paused, turned to look at her, and seemed to understand something.
"Master is saying... since she was able to tamper with the memories of two senior brothers without anyone noticing, then falsifying her own memories is no problem at all."
Xuanyuan Yu suddenly clenched her fingers under her sleeves, stared at him intently, and said through gritted teeth:
"What right do you have to accuse me of a memory fraud?! You've said everything I need to know. Doesn't it matter if my memory is flawed or not? You're all going to say I did it!"
Yun Qingqing looked at Xuanyuan Yu and said calmly:
"If I wasn't sure I could find evidence, I wouldn't have accused anyone in the first place."
Xuanyuan Yu's face turned pale:
"What do you mean!"
Yun Qingqing's eyes fell on her waist and she spoke slowly:
"Hasn't the evidence been in your Qiankun bag all along?"
Following Yun Qingqing's words, everyone looked towards the Qiankun bag on Xuanyuan Yu's waist, only to see her fingers subconsciously pinching the bag's opening.
"Xuanyuan Yu, you are one of the most talented people in the entire clan, and you are also very smart."
Yun Qingqing looked at Xuanyuan Yu, and every word was clear.
"You didn't know how I was going to use the Grand Ancestor's tablet. Fearing the loss of the Soul Jade would be exposed, I took advantage of the sandstorm on the way and used Soul Stealing on my two brothers when they weren't paying attention. I controlled Xuanyuan Sheng to put the Soul Jade into my Qiankun bag and then extracted their memories."
"Your methods are indeed brilliant. If it weren't for the soul-searching imaging, no one would have noticed their memory loss, and naturally no one would have suspected you."
"Unfortunately, even the most brilliant tactics will always have flaws, and your biggest flaw right now is the magical tool in your Qiankun bag that can extract their memories!"
"As long as you see that real memory, the truth will become clear!"
Xuanyuan Yu's face turned completely pale.
After hearing Yun Qingqing's words and looking at Xuanyuan Yu's reaction, Xuanyuan Zhao had already made up his mind. With a look of regret in his eyes, he said in a deep voice, "Junior Sister Yu, if you are truly innocent, then remove the restrictions and let the elders examine you."
"Brother, you're right!" Xuanyuan Sheng stared at her intently. "Wasn't it you who suggested checking my Qiankun bag just now? Why are you so timid when it's your turn?"
The great elder Xuanyuan Song's expression was also somewhat gloomy:
"Xuanyuan Yu, hand over the Qiankun bag. If you have truly been wronged, I will personally apologize to you!"
Xuanyuan Yu closed his eyes, his expression gradually calmed down, and he took a deep breath:
"Well, since you all doubt me, then please ask the elder to personally verify who is talking nonsense!"
So, she pulled off the Qiankun bag, untied the restriction in front of everyone, and walked towards the elder with both hands holding it.
Everyone looked at her unhesitating actions and couldn't help but feel shaken.
She was not afraid to check the Qiankun bag at all. Could it be that Pavilion Master Yun was really wrong this time?
However, just as the Great Elder reached out to take the Qiankun bag.
Three blood blades suddenly shot out from the bag and headed straight for the spirit core!
"No!"
"Spirit core!"
Everyone in Langhuan was shocked and screamed one after another.
"Stop it now!"
Xuanyuan Song's pupils shrank sharply, and he subconsciously rushed towards the spirit core, but it was too late.
