Then Luo Chu raised his voice again: "Chen Sangri, do you know what a terrible mistake you have made?! You are trying to pin the blame on me, how despicable!"
Luo Chu pulled her in front of everyone.
"I need to quickly explain things to everyone, clear my name, and give them justice!"
Shen Sanruo's eyes were incredibly calm as she glanced at the shopkeepers and then at her fellow disciples.
Feng Heyun felt uncomfortable under her gaze and guiltily looked away.
Lu Shiqing noticed that she seemed a little different, but he didn't think much of it.
Wen Xuan was stung by the indifference in her eyes. He suppressed his unease and asked, "Fifth Junior Sister, did you do these things?"
He handed the IOU to Shen Sangri.
She didn't rush to speak, but carefully examined the IOUs.
Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, and even gave a momentary mocking sneer at the IOU, Luo Chu couldn't sit still any longer.
He hurriedly tried to "persuade" them:
"Fifth Junior Sister, just admit it. It's never too late to correct your mistakes. Don't be afraid to admit it."
"You have a sect leader, so your master won't punish you too harshly."
No matter what, Shen Sangruo is Shen Daochen's daughter, so if anything happens, Shen Daochen will protect her.
But he's different.
If Master knew he did these things, he would skin him alive!
"No matter what happens to Fifth Senior Sister, we are all family. Fourth Senior Brother will still take Fifth Senior Sister out of the sect for sightseeing." Bai Mumu's feelings were extremely sincere.
“That’s it!” Luo Chu’s eyes lit up. “As long as you can admit your mistakes, I will take you out of the sect every two months.”
Taking Chen Sangruo out is too troublesome, unlike his junior sister who is so easy to take care of. Once every two months is the limit he can accept.
Luo Chu had already rejected her several times before, and upon reflection, he realized that he hadn't taken her out of the sect for over a year.
With this as leverage, she will definitely agree.
Shen Sangruo valued their relationship the most.
Luo Chu even felt that she had gotten the better deal.
Looking at Luo Chu's confident expression, Shen Sanruo knew perfectly well what he was thinking.
Did he think she would be as foolish as before, taking the blame for him?
Under Luo Chu's expectant gaze, she parted her lips slightly:
"I don't understand what Fourth Senior Brother is talking about. These things have nothing to do with me."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Luo Chu was dumbfounded and immediately shouted loudly.
Everyone turned to look at him, realizing they had overreacted, and quickly added, "Fifth Junior Sister, lying is wrong."
He had given her prior notice and hinted at it, so how could she not understand?
Were they deliberately making fun of him?
She wouldn't understand if he tried to reason with her, and a hint of threat crept into Luo Chu's eyes.
If she doesn't admit it, he'll never take her out of the sect again!
Shen Sanruo, who understood the meaning in his eyes, couldn't help but want to laugh.
She's not without hands and feet, why should she want him to take her out to play?
Did they really think they could use their friendship to blackmail her? Did they think they could easily control her?
"Whether I'm lying or not, I believe Fourth Senior Brother knows better than I do."
"Oh, right, my fourth senior brother just whispered something to me, asking me to help you. I forgot to ask him what he meant?"
She feigned doubt and revealed everything, looking at Luo Chu.
In an instant, Luo Chu felt that everyone's eyes were on him.
Among them, the gazes from his senior brothers were particularly intense.
He gritted his teeth inwardly, wondering what had gotten into Chen Sanruo today?
Fine, since she's so heartless, then don't blame him for disregarding the bond between master and disciple!
He had initially felt reluctant, but now he could confidently place all the blame on her.
She forced him to do it all!
He became serious and said sternly, "Fifth Junior Sister, isn't it enough that you tried to frame me for crimes? Now you're even slandering me with these baseless accusations."
Anyway, no one else heard what he said at the time.
“Those IOUs are all in your handwriting, they all have your name on them, and they identified you as the person in question. What does it have to do with me?” Luo Chu continued.
"Fourth Senior Brother, do you know that three months ago was the time when I was seriously injured and unconscious?" Shen Sanruo asked calmly.
At this moment, Wen Xuan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up: "I remember when Fifth Junior Sister woke up, although she was weak, she had regained some mobility."
Wen Xuan simply wanted to resolve this matter fairly and could not ignore any possibility.
He is not biased towards either side.
But since Shen Sanruo had made similar mistakes many times before, he was more inclined to believe that it was her doing.
Disappointment was inevitable.
Upon hearing Wen Xuan's words, Feng Heyun looked shocked, while Lu Shiqing seemed to know it all along.
A hint of triumph flashed quickly in Bai Mumu's eyes.
Even if Shen Sangruo were to detach herself from her feelings for them, she was still amused by her anger at this moment.
It's hard to imagine what's sandwiched between this person's two ears.
Other hairpins and luminous pearls are fine, though.
Does he mean that she had just woken up from a coma and, instead of properly recovering from her injuries, she ran off to steal someone's chickens?
What is she after?
They habitually use prejudice to pronounce judgment on her directly, without ever considering whether it is reasonable.
"So that's how it is! It really was you!" Luo Chu exclaimed, as if she had finally found a glimmer of hope. "I never imagined you were so cunning!"
"Now that things have come to this, do you still want to deny it?" Luo Chu couldn't wait to pin the blame on her.
His eyes gleamed with smugness. If he had known this would be the outcome, he would have preferred to have confessed earlier.
Shen Sangruo lost her patience and was too lazy to argue with them anymore.
I just want to resolve this matter as soon as possible and go into seclusion at Qingxin Pavilion.
While Luo Chu was making a lot of noise with his mouth open, he flicked his finger and dropped a pill into Luo Chu's mouth.
Before he could react, the pill had already melted in his mouth.
"Ptooey! What did you feed me?" Luo Chu's eyes widened. "You don't hold a grudge against me and want to poison me, do you?!"
Instead of answering his question, Shen Sangri asked, "Who did all this?"
Luo Chu was about to say, "It must be you," but his mouth slipped out of his control the next moment.
He opened his mouth wide and shouted, "Of course it's me!"
Luo Chu's sudden self-destruction drew everyone's attention to him.
Realizing what he had just said, he quickly covered his mouth.
"Fourth Junior Brother, what did you say?" Wen Xuan narrowed his eyes.
Feng Heyun and Lu Shiqing's expressions also changed.
Bai Mumu knew in her heart that things were going to get bad; Luo Chu was probably going to be in trouble this time!
Shen Sanruo smiled slightly. The True Word Pill that Senior Sister Su gave her was really useful.
I didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly.
Luo Chu wanted to defend herself, so she preemptively asked, "You planned to pin the blame on me from the very beginning, didn't you?"
He realized something was wrong and desperately tried to cover his mouth, but it was no use.
The truth still came out like beans spilling from a bucket.
"Of course, hasn't it always been like this? My favorite scapegoat, Fifth Junior Sister~"
