Ye Tian hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually..."
Seeing his hesitation, He Shilin grew impatient and pressed, "Actually what? Are you hiding something from me? Or has something happened to Junior Sister?"
"No." Ye Tian's brows were so furrowed they could almost trap a fly.
He Shilin asked, "What is that?"
Ye Tian scratched his head in frustration and began to explain to him.
"It's like this, our senior brother is about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, right? Yesterday, Master asked me to go to the treasure vault to get some useful pills and spiritual plants for him so that he can absorb them as soon as possible to break through."
"So what?" He Shilin asked, puzzled.
Ye Tian replied, "Didn't Master give me a jade token for the treasure vault? After I went to the treasure vault to retrieve my things yesterday, I went to see my junior sister, and then... and then my jade token... I lost it."
He Shilin's eyes widened in surprise, and he exclaimed, "Lost?!"
Ye Tian was startled by his loud voice and hurriedly gestured to him, then lowered his voice and said, "Shh, keep your voice down!"
What's the point of speaking softly?
He Shilin's face was grim. "The jade token is already lost. When Master asks you for it, where are you going to get it?"
"I'm very anxious too. If the theft of our sect's treasure vault is really related to the jade token I lost, then I'm doomed. My master will kill me."
Ye Tian almost wanted to cry.
Why is he so unlucky?
How could you just throw away such a perfectly good jade pendant?
He Shilin paced back and forth, asking, "Have you searched everywhere? Did you accidentally drop it somewhere?"
Ye Tian shook his head.
“I have searched everywhere I should have searched, and even places I shouldn’t have searched. I can now confirm that the jade pendant is indeed lost.”
He Shilin was silent for a moment, then looked into Ye Tian's eyes and asked a question.
"You suspect that your junior sister took it?"
Ye Tian did not directly point out Yun Qin, but said, "After I came out of the treasure vault yesterday, I only saw my junior sister. I didn't come into contact with anyone else. After seeing her, I lost my jade token."
“That doesn’t prove that Junior Sister took the jade token, does it?” He Shilin clearly believed Yun Qin.
In his eyes, there was no one kinder than his junior sister.
Besides, Junior Sister is also a member of their Yao Huo Sect. How could she possibly steal from their own treasure vault?
Compared to He Shilin, Ye Tian's affection for Yun Qin wasn't as blind as that.
He said in a deep voice, "But I haven't seen my junior sister since yesterday."
After he discovered that the jade pendant was missing, he immediately ran to look for it.
When he found his junior sister, he discovered that she had vanished without a trace.
He didn't think much of it at the time.
I just assumed that my junior sister was probably bored being alone and went out for some fresh air or to clear her head.
He only began to have doubts today after learning that the treasure vault had been stolen.
"Perhaps Junior Sister just went out for a walk to clear her head?" He Shilin still refused to believe that Yun Qin would do such a thing.
With that, he turned and prepared to leave.
"Let's go find our junior sister now; maybe she's already back."
Ye Tian reached out to stop him, saying, "It's no use, I've already gone to see her."
Upon learning that the treasure vault had been stolen, he immediately panicked and went to find his junior sister again.
But they couldn't even see a shadow of her.
He Shilin raised his hand and pressed his throbbing temples, still insisting on his own opinion, and said, "There must be some misunderstanding here."
He simply didn't believe his junior sister would do such a thing!
Ye Tian sighed, "I also hope it's a misunderstanding, but my junior sister disappeared as soon as the treasure vault was stolen. Do you think that's a coincidence?"
He Shilin fell silent.
He hoped it was a coincidence.
Leaning back against the wall behind him, He Shilin muttered to himself.
"Junior Sister is such a kind person, how could she possibly steal from her own family's treasure vault?"
When the Qin family put pressure on the sect because of Qin Lan'er, her master did not protect her unconditionally, but she did not have any resentment about it.
Even when her master said he would send people to capture her, she was still reluctant to leave the sect and them.
Her feelings for the sect were clearly so deep...
Seeing He Shilin's reaction, Ye Tian suddenly took out something and handed it to him.
"Take a look at this."
It is a sword tassel.
He Shilin's gaze fell on the sword tassel, and he paused slightly.
"This is... Junior Sister's?"
Ye Tian nodded, "That's right, this is a gift we gave to our junior sister when we went out to train together."
He Shilin then asked, "Then how did this thing end up in your hands?"
Ye Tian tightened his grip on the sword tassel and replied.
“This is what I just saw in the treasure vault.”
If he hadn't seen the sword tassel, he wouldn't have believed that the treasure vault was really related to his junior sister.
"Wh...what?" He Shilin was dumbfounded.
Now that things have come to this, it seems that all the clues point to the junior sister.
He was speechless now.
Ye Tian asked anxiously, "What do we do now? No one knows that we secretly hid our junior sister during this time. If Master finds out that we not only hid our junior sister but also caused the treasure vault to be stolen, Master will definitely not let us off the hook."
