"Everyone in the sect knows that Senior Sister Qingqing and Senior Sister Sheng don't get along. My eldest brother and I gave in to each other for the sake of our fellow sect members' friendship, but Senior Sister Sheng's moves were fatal. I guess Senior Sister Qingqing was seriously injured and died because of this."
After Zhao Yanran finished speaking, she looked at the Sect Master in grief: "Sect Master, do you know why the sword wound on my arm won't heal? And why did Senior Sister die? Because the poison she used was the Blue Sky Grass!"
"What!"
Xuan Xiao stood up in shock, then suddenly remembered something and slowly sat down again.
"Master, the Azure Grass is extremely poisonous. Thanks to the ninth-grade detoxification pill that Master gave me earlier, my senior brother and I took half each, and the poison was barely removed. However, the scar can never be removed."
Zhao Yanran's eyelashes were filled with tears and she looked at Xuan Xiao pitifully.
"Disciple thanks Master for saving my life."
Chu Heng also stood up at the right time, revealing a wound similar to Zhao Yanran's.
Xuan Xiao frowned and looked at Sheng He unhappily: "What else do you have to say now?"
"Bi Luo Grass?" Sheng He spread his hands, his eyes full of confusion, "What is the Bi Luo Grass that Junior Sister Zhao is talking about?"
"What is the Blue Sky Grass? I have never heard of it before."
The disciples in the hall looked at each other in bewilderment. What was Biluo Grass? They had never heard of it.
The elders sitting at the top looked at each other. They had heard of the Blue Sky Grass, but it was very rare. It was said to grow in the far north and had not appeared for many years. It was normal that these disciples did not know about it.
Zhao Yanran raised her head and pointed at Sheng He, saying firmly: "You must have Biluo Grass on you, Senior Sister Sheng, do you dare to let me search you?"
"No body search!"
Sheng He quickly covered his storage bag: "Why do you want to search me? What right do you have to search me?"
Seeing this, Zhao Yanran became more certain and sneered, "Master, she must have something wrong, otherwise why wouldn't she dare to let me search her body?"
Sheng He stood straight: "You and I are of the same generation. I am your senior sister. You want to search my body just because you said so casually. Then can I take the opportunity to slander other fellow disciples tomorrow and then search their bodies?"
"Master, Sheng He doesn't want to do something that is humiliating to his dignity."
"Whether it's unwilling or afraid, only Senior Sister Sheng knows clearly!"
Sheng He bit her lips tightly, as if she had suffered great humiliation. After a long time, she slowly raised her head and looked at the sect leader firmly.
"Master, I have never seen Senior Sister Xu. Fellow Daoist Song and the two Senior Sisters can testify for me. I really don't know what I did wrong to anger Junior Sister Zhao. She actually wants to put the crime of harming a fellow disciple on me."
"Today, in order to prove my innocence, I have asked the elders from the Discipline Department to search me personally. However, for the sake of fairness, I would also like to ask Junior Sister Zhao and Senior Brother Chu to be searched together."
The sect leader's face was as gloomy as water. How could the Qingyun Sect retain its dignity if word got out that the elders of the Qingyun Sect searched the disciples in public?
But Zhao Yanran refused to give in, and Xuan Xiao loved this little disciple the most.
Xuan Xiao is the face of Qingyun Sect. Even though he is the sect master, he has to give Immortal Master Xuan Xiao some more face.
The sect leader sighed secretly in his heart and gave a look to the elder of the Discipline Department.
The elder of the Discipline Department stepped forward immediately, and Sheng He took off the storage bag and storage ring without hesitation, removed the restrictions and handed them to the elder of the Discipline Department.
The elder from the Discipline Department opened the storage bag, which was filled with crystals of various colors. He calmly pushed the crystals aside, only to find that the storage bag was filled with nothing but crystals.
The elder picked up the storage ring again, checked every corner carefully, and finally returned the storage bag and storage ring to Sheng He.
"how?"
The elder shook his head: "Master, there is no Biluo grass, and there are no other suspicious things."
Zhao Yanran curled her lips and sneered: "Elder, we haven't checked her body yet! Maybe she hid something in her sleeves!"
"Junior sister, do you have to be so aggressive?"
Sheng He looked sad: "We are all from the same school. I will see you everywhere in the future..."
Before Sheng He could finish, Zhao Yanran took a step forward and lifted the sleeve of Sheng He's right arm: "Master, look, the thing is right here..."
"How come there isn't anything?" Zhao Yanran touched Sheng He's sleeves in disbelief, and even reached out to press Sheng He's waist on both sides, muttering in a low voice, "It's impossible, I clearly saw Senior Brother Chu with my own eyes..."
Sheng He lowered his head, looking at the distraught Zhao Yanran in front of him, and smiled softly: "Nothing, Junior Sister Yanran, you seem very disappointed."
"But Junior Sister Yanran, since we didn't find anything, can you let me go now?"
Sheng He took a step back, raised his eyes to look at the elders of the Discipline Department, bowed and saluted, "Three elders, you should have searched me just now, is it the turn of Junior Sister Zhao and Senior Brother Chu now?"
Zhao Yanran untied the storage bag with disdain: "Search if you want, I am innocent and will never..."
"Master, we found it!"
The elder from the Discipline Department took out a jade pendant from Chu Heng’s sleeve and handed it to the sect leader.
The moment the sect master saw the jade pendant, his pupils suddenly shrank: "This is... Qingqing's twin pendants!"
"Chu Heng! How come you have this Gemini pendant!"
Chu Heng opened his eyes wide, his face full of shock. He looked at Zhao Yanran, then at Immortal Master Xuanxiao, and finally his gaze circled around the hall and returned to the twin pendants.
"Master, I... I don't know. I have never seen this jade pendant before. I don't know how it appeared on my body!"
Zhao Yanran looked at the Gemini Pendant in astonishment. After boarding the flying boat, in order to put the blame of Xu Qingqing's death on Sheng He, she deliberately changed the storage bag and only left the Gemini Pendant that Xu Qingqing never took off.
Afterwards, she lit the soul-soothing incense and saw with her own eyes Chu Heng stuffing the Twin Pendants into Sheng He's sleeves. But now, how could the Twin Pendants appear in Chu Heng's place?
Zhao Yanran felt uneasy, things seemed to be going in the worst direction, and she quickly pleaded, "Sect Master, Brother must have been framed!"
"Oh?" Sheng He sneered, "So what Senior Brother Chu and Junior Sister Zhao mean is that I injured Senior Sister Xu, Junior Sister Zhao and Senior Brother Chu, and then I forced Senior Sister Xu's Gemini Pendant onto Senior Brother Chu in front of you, and none of you noticed it, right?"
Chu Heng knelt on the ground and looked at Xuan Xiao Xianzun for help: "Master, I don't know. I really don't know why this jade pendant appeared on me. I have never seen Xu..."
"hiss!"
"ah!"
There seemed to be a faint fragrance in the air again. Chu Heng had a splitting headache and fell to the ground wailing in pain.
Zhao Yanran hurriedly knelt down as well: "Master, Sect Master, I saw all of this with my own eyes. Senior Brother must have been wrongly accused!"
