"I secretly planted snow lavender inside, but it just wouldn't survive, which doesn't make sense!"

"Snow lavender is a very resilient plant. It can adapt and survive no matter how barren the soil or how heavy the snow."

"So I suspect it's a soil problem; the snow lavender can't grow and bloom properly!"

Amira shared her insights.

Dean Perry's expression was extremely unpleasant, as if he were recalling some unbearable past events.

Teacher Jialan whispered, "Dean..."

"No need to say anything more, those things are all in the past." Dean Perry shook his head: "Let's go, let's go to the Royal Garden."

The group headed to the Garden of Roja.

This place remains closed off; the path, which should have been covered with soft green grass and colorful flower petals, is now barren.

The stone carvings on both sides of the path, which were originally exquisite, are now full of cracks and mottled marks.

Xu Fang and Blanqie stepped forward at the same time, using their respective plant-based senses to feel the soil.

Xu Fang's expression remained unchanged, but Blanche's body trembled, and her powerful aura spread uncontrollably.

The students with weaker cultivation levels on site were almost knocked unconscious by the suppressed aura!

"Calm down, Blanche!" Dean Perry used his domain to suppress Blanche's aura: "What did you discover?"

"Dean..."

"Say!"

"The soil here has been tampered with, significantly delaying the growth cycle of all plants, or even rendering them completely ineffective!"

"What did you say!?"

Dean Perry, who had just calmed Blanche down, suddenly changed his expression and unleashed a fierce aura.

The students who had just recovered collapsed to the ground with a "thud" and completely lost consciousness.

"Dean, please calm down, Dean!"

Blanche quickly used her domain to resist Dean Perry's aura.

Dean Perry seemed to have lost his soul; his heavy breathing could be heard by everyone present, and his eyes were fixed on the Royal Garden.

"The soil has been tampered with... does that mean the blooming of the Rosa laevigata will be delayed?"

“The truth is obvious.” Blanche could no longer hold back her tears and choked out, “Dean, Yulai did not betray us; she was framed!”

Dean Perry swayed, and from behind, he appeared somewhat hunched over.

Upon hearing the name "You Lai," Xu Fang finally recalled this part of the story.

Yulai is one of the "Eight Souls" of the Evil Saint King.

The four benevolent souls are: Yi Qiu (righteous soul), Leng Lie Wang (righteous soul), You Lai (loyal soul), and Chi Niao (steadfast soul).

The Four Evil Souls: Mad Soul Su Lu, Greedy Soul Lu Nian, Jealous Soul Yu Ang, and Vengeful Soul Leng Jue.

Yu Lai, the loyal soul, is the daughter of Pei Li, the executioner whom Xu Fang met in America. She is a genius student at the Alps Academy who is no less talented than Blanche.

Yulai majored in the Mind-Body system and minored in the Healing system; she had an almost fanatical pursuit of cultivation.

During a training course at the academy, Yulai unexpectedly met a sage from the Parthenon.

The sage saw her exceptional talent and decided to take her back to the temple to train her carefully.

However, the relationship between the Parthenon and the Alps is extremely tense, with a long-standing feud passed down through generations. Jules' choice of the Parthenon was tantamount to betrayal.

"Later, I learned about this from other trainees... I gave Yulai a severe scolding and locked her in Feren Falls to reflect on her actions."

Dean Perry slowly said, "The Parthenon's Mind and Healing systems are unparalleled in the world."

I originally thought that if Julai insisted, I would quietly remove her Alpine student status and let her study in Parthenon under another identity.

—But she ran away.

Teacher Jialan continued, "When she ran away, she still had the mark of the Alps on her body. This incident caused our academy to lose face, and even the headmaster, who never cared about worldly affairs, was furious..."

"So you killed her?"

"How could that be? We're not crazy!"

Dean Perry took a deep breath:

"Later she returned on her own and said that she had not betrayed the Alps, but had only run away to refuse the sage."

I certainly didn't believe that reason, so I made her swear an oath in the Garden of Loya.

Teacher Jialan whispered, "The Garden of Roya was once transformed by forbidden magic. As long as you swear an oath in blood in the garden and the oath is true, the Roya flowers in the garden will bloom."

Even if Dean Perry didn't tell you, everyone could guess what would happen next.

Yulai swore an oath with his blood, but the Roya flower could not break through the transformed soil.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, with no other rebuttal to his innocence, Yulai chose to commit suicide to prove his innocence.

The truth has only come to light now, many years later!

"The matter is now clear: the murderer altered the soil composition to frame Yulai. Amela secretly infiltrated Roya Garden in order to plant Snow Lavender, and the murderer, fearing that the matter would be exposed, decided to silence her."

Xu felt a pang of emotion.

Sure enough, it was still because there was no internet or signal.

If the Alps had internet access, they could have simply called to decline the sage's invitation; there would have been no need to escape and no way to end up in this situation.

There is only one truth.

Xu Fang's fingers traced across everyone's bodies, stopping at one person: "You're the murderer!"

A commotion erupted among the crowd. The person Xu Fang was pointing at was none other than Edith, who was in charge of receiving guests!

"You are lying!"

Edith screamed, "What evidence do you have? Go ahead and search me if you dare!"

"Evidence? Of course I have evidence."

Xu Fang's finger flashed as he took out a machine from the Hidden Star: "Let me introduce you. This is a small stealth worker bee produced in Jinlin City. It has a large capacity, doesn't require a network, and tracks automatically!"

Chapter 500 High-Level Chaos: The Chapter of Imprinting

What era are we living in? Who still uses traditional methods to solve cases?

It's stupid not to use surveillance cameras!

The worker bee that Xu Fang took out was the latest model from Jinlin City. Its size had been further reduced, but its capacity had been greatly increased, which was equivalent to evolving from a CD to a memory card.

Before dawn, Xu Fang released the entire swarm of bees to set up surveillance from every angle.

"You've been quite busy today, spending the whole morning turning over the soil in your yard."

Xu Fang placed the memory card in his phone and shoved the video directly into Edith's face:

"I'm really curious, what kind of kind person would turn over the entire top layer of soil to the bottom? And what kind of kind person would disregard the life or death of the growing plants just to turn the soil?"

"Edith, can you explain this to us?"

There's no point in being stubborn when you're under surveillance.

No one present was an idiot; anyone with a brain could figure it out: the eccentric Edith was probably the culprit behind all the tragedies!

"Edith, tell me, is Yulai's death related to you or not!" Dean Perry demanded loudly.

"it's me."

Edith said, her face no longer showing its previous liveliness and friendliness, but instead becoming gloomy and fierce!

"I altered the soil composition, which is why the Rosa rugosa flowers cannot bloom."

"Why did you do this?!" Dean Perry exclaimed, losing control of his emotions.

Yulai was her most beloved student; his magical talent, his seriousness and longing for magic, had appeared in her dreams countless times.

"Because of you!"

Edith stared intently at Dean Perry: "Why, why do you all love Yulai! How many times has she defied the academy's rules, yet you all protect her every time! What kind of sorcery has she used!"

As for me, I conduct myself and act with utmost care and caution, yet you constantly find fault with me, and I've been locked up countless times.

Even when Yulai was chosen by the sages of the Parthenon, you not only failed to enforce the school rules, but even conspired to give her a false identity so that she could study in the Parthenon!

Why?! I refuse to accept this! Why?!

Edith completely lost control of her emotions, her voice shrill as if it would tear the ears of everyone present.

"So you killed Yulai?" Blanche questioned.

"No, no, no, I didn't kill them. I just changed the soil composition."

"What truly drove Yulai to his death was you, you, you, and you... It was your suspicion and accusations that drove Yulai to commit suicide!"

Snapped!

Xu Fang was nearby and casually slapped Edith, making her head tilt to the side as she roared.

"I don't hit women easily, but I'll hit any bitch like you I see, and I'll hit two of them if I see two!"

Envious of the top students being favored by teachers, so they killed the top students?

What kind of outrageous values ​​are these?

If a teacher heard this, they'd be furious!

If it weren't for the even more important figure, Yu Ang, Edith alone would have been enough to form the Jealous Soul among the Eight Souls of Good and Evil!

"What about Amelia? She didn't do anything, why did you want to hurt her?"

"She deserves to die too!" Edith's face still bore the clear imprint of Xu Fang's large handprint, making her look quite comical.

"She's just a gardener, why does everyone like her? Why!"

"Even if she hadn't uncovered my plan, I would have killed her sooner or later! Not just her, but you too! You! And you!"

Edith, as if calling out names, pointed her finger at Dean Perry, Teacher Garan, Blanche, and others one by one.
