"I deliberately imitated your handwriting, and used a disguise potion to reshape my voice and appearance to be similar to yours, just to shift the blame onto you, right?"
"With such a simple disguise, I managed to manipulate those idiots completely, haha."
The shopkeepers, who were called "idiots," all looked extremely ugly and glared angrily at Luo Chu.
Luo Chu was panicking terribly, but she couldn't control herself at all.
He kept saying:
"I just didn't expect to cause so much trouble this time, so I rushed back to find you to take the blame."
"It just so happens that you were seriously injured, it's truly a case of misfortunes never coming singly."
"I thought I was going to be exposed, thankfully no one believed you, it scared me to death."
"I'm so smart, hehe~"
Luo Chu chuckled, and the scene fell into an eerie silence.
Hearing himself uncontrollably reveal the whole truth, Luo Chu wished he could bite off his own tongue!
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, he quickly took the initiative: "What kind of mind-control pill did you give me? How could you use such a method to force me to confess!"
The implication is that these are not his true feelings.
But some people are already not buying it.
The man whose hen had its eggs stolen angrily retorted, "You stole my hen and then mocked me like this, calling me a fool? What kind of logic is this!"
"Shut up! Your old hen is so awful, I wouldn't even want to eat it! You're stupid to begin with, tsk tsk!"
After finishing another sentence, Luo Chu felt like dying.
The person whose hen was stolen was furious and immediately pulled out an egg and smashed it in Luo Chu's face.
Luo Chu initially wanted to swallow his anger, but he couldn't hold back any longer: "Pah! You dare to hit me? I should have just baked the eggs too!"
"Aaaaah! I can't stand you, you little brat!" the man whose hen had been stolen shouted, baring his teeth and brandishing his claws.
The crowd was immediately agitated.
"Whether it's a truth-telling pill or a mind-controlling pill, everyone can tell for themselves," Shen Sanruo said with a faint smile.
The moment the True Word Pill was produced, another wave of sighs swept through the crowd.
That's a fifth-grade pill, and there are very few alchemists who can refine it.
Luo Chu never expected that she would have the Truth Pill.
She looked at Bai Mumu again, remembering that Bai Mumu had also made a lot of progress.
She was never an ungrateful person, so she naturally had to "repay" her properly.
Bai Mumu always had a bad feeling about Shen Sangri's gaze.
But how could this have affected her?
My heart was at ease again.
"So, Fourth Senior Brother likes things like hairpins and luminous pearls," Chen Sangruo said softly.
"I'm a real man, so naturally I wouldn't like these kinds of things. I gave them all to my junior sister, and she loves them," Luo Chu said with a silly grin.
She continued, "Oh, so Sixth Junior Sister also knew about this?"
"Absolutely! My junior sister is my closest comrade-in-arms!"
Luo Chu was numb, completely numb.
He didn't dare to look at Bai Mumu at all.
Bai Mumu's face turned pale instantly, and she shook her head at her senior brothers with red eyes.
It wasn't that she didn't want to defend herself, but she was afraid that Luo Chu, that idiot, would tell more truths.
Chen Sangruo was finally satisfied and stopped asking questions.
She addressed Wen Xuan and the others, saying, "Fourth Senior Brother has already confessed, and the physical evidence is in Sixth Junior Sister's hands. Presumably, a simple search will be enough to find it."
"Could this prove that I have nothing to do with this?"
Wen Xuan glared at Luo Chu fiercely, but finally softened his attitude towards her: "We misunderstood you about this matter. I will report this to Master later."
Upon hearing that the matter would be reported to Master Lingxiao, Luo Chu cried out again, "No, Second Senior Brother! Master will kill me! No!"
"If you had known this would happen, why did you do so many shameful things? You even tried to shift the blame to your fifth junior sister. You knowingly committed the crime and must report it to Master!" Wen Xuan's tone was firm and brooked no refusal.
"It's all your fault, Chen Sangruo! If you had just obediently taken the blame for me, none of this would have happened! If I ever talk to you again, I'm a dog!"
That was exactly what Luo Chu truly wanted to say.
At this moment, he truly loathed Shen Sangruo; he was genuinely angry!
Since things have come to this point, I'm going to give up and vent my anger.
"From this day forward, I'll pretend I never had a junior sister like you! No matter how much you beg me, it won't change anything!"
"Whatever you want." Shen Sanruo's indifferent voice showed no further reaction.
Luo Chu's words were practically a declaration of a complete break with her.
The former Shen Sangruo would not have been so indifferent.
Wen Xuan felt a mix of emotions, and that uneasy feeling returned.
He could only strike Luo Chu on the back of the neck with one palm, causing Luo Chu to lose consciousness.
Today's events have already become quite embarrassing, how could Luo Chu say such things again?
If we continue talking, it might really damage my relationship with Chen Sangruo.
"Fifth Junior Sister..."
"I plan to go into seclusion at Qingxin Pavilion for a year, so it's inconvenient for me to stay any longer. I'll take my leave now," Chen Sangruo interrupted Wen Xuan.
Without any hesitation, he turned and left.
Clearly, they didn't want to be involved in what followed.
Wen Xuan felt a pang of disappointment, but there were still many things to deal with at the moment.
He didn't expect his senior brother, Feng Heyun, to be able to handle these matters.
They ultimately failed to catch up.
After Wen Xuan calmed down the angry shop owners and promised to give them an explanation, the shop owners left Feiyun Sect one after another.
Wen Xuan rubbed his throbbing temples, looking at the unconscious Luo Chu, his heart ached even more.
As if remembering something, he straightened his expression and looked at Bai Mumu:
"Junior Sister, you know the inside story, why don't you tell us?"
"Yes, that brat Luo Chu almost succeeded. Luckily, Fifth Junior Sister had the True Word Pill." Feng Heyun chimed in.
Lu Shiqing frowned. "Listen to her explanation first. I believe she won't collude with Luo Chu."
[Alert: Significant emotional fluctuations detected in the target characters Wen Xuan and Feng Heyun; their favorability rating is trending downwards.]
[Please stabilize the emotions of your target as soon as possible!]
Bai Mumu's eyes were red. "Fourth Senior Brother only asked someone to bring me some things. I don't know where those things came from."
"Besides, I've kept those things in my storage bag and haven't had a chance to check them yet."
“If you fellow disciples do not believe me, I can also prove it.”
She took out a storage bag, which indeed showed no signs of having been opened.
Wen Xuan and Feng Heyun's expressions softened somewhat.
"If I knew where these things came from, I definitely wouldn't have accepted them. I'll return them right now."
Bai Mumu was on the verge of tears; in the end, they still softened their hearts.
“Since Luo Chu gave it to you, then keep it. He should bear the consequences of his own actions.” Wen Xuan pushed the storage bag back into her hands.
"I never expected Luo Chu to do something like this. We should trust Xiao Ru more in the future."
Luo Chu's words, "Luckily no one believed Shen Sangruo," and her departure without looking back, both stung him.
