Chapter 41 Now, may I continue with the accounting?
Before this, Qi Jue had swallowed five pills with a slight stimulating effect in one go.
He didn't notice anything unusual during the fight, but after a short rest, the negative effects of the pill became apparent: his pupils turned blood red, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged out—a sign that he had been holding back for a long time.
Outsiders, unaware of the reason, might think the boy was angry.
Lin Wuwang was slightly stunned, having never seen Qi Jue so angry before: "What are you trying to say?"
He pursed his lips, remained silent for a moment, then gave a soft, mocking laugh.
Before settling accounts, Qi Jue first reached out and asked Lu Qiwu, "Could you bring out the Black Bone Eagle's corpse for everyone to see?"
Lu Qiwu didn't understand, but he was very obedient.
The monster's corpse was placed outside again, and the nauseating stench of blood made Qi Jue feel even more uncomfortable.
He took a deep breath, trying to adjust, and lifted the beast's wings to examine them carefully.
Lu Qiwu asked, "What are you looking for?"
Shen Qingqing's eyelids twitched, as if she realized something. Her eyes widened in alarm, and she instantly stepped back.
Yunxi raised her hand, striking a pose like a model student answering a question, and excitedly replied, "I...I...I know, I'll help you find it."
After absorbing Yan Yu's spiritual power, her five senses were enhanced. She leaned over and sniffed like a puppy, and could clearly smell the strange scent on the right wing of the Black Bone Eagle.
Yunxi asked someone for a small knife and a piece of white paper, and gently scratched it twice.
Some scattered black powder appeared on the white paper.
Lin Wuwang asked, "What is this?"
Yunxi knew this too, and raised her hand again to answer: "It's powder made from snake-desire fruit."
Fearing that others might not understand its function, Yunxi kindly explained: "The Serpent Desire Fruit grows in the Blood Demon Forbidden Land of the Demon Clan, and this fruit itself carries an odor that can make demonic beasts go berserk."
Shen Qingqing's face paled slightly, and her voice became somewhat weak: "What 'Snake Desire Fruit'? Isn't this just ordinary black soil?"
She put her hands behind her back, grabbed a handful of snow in her palm, and quietly wiped it off.
Yunxi said casually, "Why don't you just have someone appraise them after you get out? There are quite a few more like them here~"
As she said this, she raised the black bone eagle's wing and scraped it with a small knife, saying with extra enthusiasm, "I'll scrape a little more for you and prepare several samples so it will be easier for you to have them appraised after you leave."
Yunxi couldn't help but praise herself in her heart: She's such a good person!
Shen Qingqing: "..."
The powder on the paper was indeed sufficient for identification, so there was no point in her saying it wasn't true at this point; it would only make her more suspicious.
"The Blood Demon Forbidden Land? Demons?"
Lin Wuwang noticed the key point and became even more puzzled, his brows furrowing deeply: "What is the connection between the Black Bone Eagle we killed and the Demon Clan?"
This question was beyond Yunxi's knowledge, so she obediently stepped back and handed the main battleground over to Qijue.
Qi Jue thought for a moment: "It shouldn't have anything to do with the demons. It's just that during the fight just now, someone took out this powder and split it in two."
"Half of it was secretly left on the Black Bone Eagle's wing."
"My other half..."
The boy looked at Shen Qingqing, his smile widening, but his voice was icy: "On my torn clothes."
He didn't say who the person was, but Qi Jue's gaze remained on Shen Qingqing.
Shen Qingqing's face instantly turned pale, and she guiltily tried to deny it, saying, "What do you mean? You suspect me?"
"Just now... everyone was inside, why are you saying it was me?"
"If someone really wanted to harm you..." she pointed at Yunxi, "it would probably be her!"
"Everyone was fine at first, but the Black Bone Eagle started to go berserk when she appeared."
Shen Qingqing's words made a lot of sense: "Besides, she's a Foundation Establishment stage sword cultivator, and she's never been to the Blood Demon Forbidden Land, so why would she know about the Serpent Desire Fruit?"
"ha?"
Before being criticized by Shen Qingqing, Yunxi thought her script was over and she could relax and watch the show.
To make the play more exciting, the little girl sneakily approached Qi Jue, hoping to steal some of his melon seeds.
As a result, when Shen Qingqing pointed over, the spotlight shone on her again.
She quickly withdrew her hand, sat up straight obediently, and tilted her head: "Can't you tell?"
Yun Xi gestured with her chin to make everyone look at the still-burning alchemy furnace, making no attempt to hide her identity: "I am an alchemy cultivator."
It's quite reasonable for Danxiu to know some fruits.
Yunxi asked, "My senior brother didn't say it was you, why are you so agitated?"
"..." Shen Qingqing hurriedly withdrew her hand.
"He kept staring at me, he must be trying to frame me... Anyway..."
Shen Qingqing bit her lip, looking timidly at Lin Wuwang, her eyes reddening: "Brother Qi Jue, you bullied and beat me many times in the Shen family before, and stole my opportunities. I never held it against you because we grew up together, but now... now that you're here, are you going to harm me too?"
Yunxi couldn't help but reach out and hit Qi Jue.
Qi Jue pursed his lips, understanding what she wanted, and could only open his beloved mustard seed bag for Yun hope.
The boy has a special mustard bag for storing all kinds of delicious food. It is full of all kinds of things and is Yunxi's favorite treasure on his body.
Yunxi happily took out a bunch of sunflower seeds, wrapped them in her clothes, and began to eat them with great immersion.
Shen Qingqing was already very dissatisfied with Qi Jue.
The boy's spiritual roots were far inferior to hers, yet he possessed the only divine sword in the world with the lightning attribute.
Cheng Jiangui came to the Shen family because of Shen Qingqing, but was rejected by Shen Qingqing in the end, and only took Qi Jue back to Lingxiao Sect.
Although in a sense, Qi Jue was just picking up what Shen Qingqing didn't want and joining a sect that wasn't very good, Shen Qingqing was still unhappy. Why did Du'e choose him? Why could Qi Jue become a disciple of one of the Five Sects just like her? Why was his current cultivation level higher than hers?
Shen Qingqing felt that someone like Qi Jue should remain unknown for the rest of his life, obediently return Du'e to her, and then find a dirty place to live a life of idleness and waiting to die.
It was precisely because of these reasons that the Qingyun Sect repeatedly told everyone, in roundabout ways, that Qi Jue had bullied her. As the disciples spread the word, the versions of the story became more and more numerous.
Even Lin Wuwang, who doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, had heard several versions of it.
One is a young man from Linzong with a less-than-stellar reputation, and the other is a well-behaved and sensible junior sister who is pampered by everyone in Qingyun Sect.
Comparing the two, Lin Wuwang naturally trusted Shen Qingqing more. He stood in front of Shen Qingqing with a cold face and warned, "My junior sister of Qingyun Sect is not someone that anyone can bully. If you keep bothering me, don't blame me for being impolite."
As the story unfolds, Zhou Baichuan, still shivering from the thawing in the pot, steps forward and says, "Don't bully Qingqing."
"Eldest brother, fourth brother..."
Shen Qingqing shook her head knowingly, as if she had suffered a great injustice: "As long as my senior brothers believe in me, I can accept whatever others say about me."
Zhou Baichuan tenderly wiped away Shen Qingqing's tears, saying, "Don't think you can bully Qingqing just because you saved me."
The girl looked pitiful, while Zhou Baichuan, who had just woken up, was still pale and bloodless.
On the other hand, Qi Jue's bloodshot eyes made him look like an angry beast, while Yun hope, eating sunflower seeds behind him, looked more like a vicious mother-in-law abusing her young daughter-in-law.
It seems obvious who is right and who is wrong.
Even Song Hemian, who had come over to freeload some melon seeds, hesitated for a moment before speaking.
He didn't believe Qi Jue would do anything so perverse as to bully a young girl, but he also didn't believe that a fragile girl like Shen Qingqing would use cruel methods to harm a fellow practitioner.
Song Hemian: "Are you really accusing her?"
He thought for a moment: "The battle was too chaotic just now, maybe..."
Song Heming originally wanted to say that perhaps someone else did it, but he quickly swallowed his words back. After all, everyone present was a disciple of the Five Sects, and it would be wrong to wrong any of them.
After much deliberation, he blamed everything on the Black Bone Eagle: "Perhaps the Black Bone Eagle did it himself, with the aim of making us kill each other."
Yunxi rolled her eyes and snatched back the melon seeds she had given him: "How smart does the Black Bone Eagle have to be to use its own life to harm you?"
Song Hemian: "..."
They're killing each other!
Shen Qingqing heard a good phrase, a glint of light flashed in her eyes, she hesitated, bit her lip, and whispered, "Could it be that Brother Qi Jue, you've poisoned yourself to frame me?"
Seemingly having figured out the correct answer, Shen Qingqing quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth, tears streaming down her face: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you like that."
The girl, her face pale, hid behind Lin Wuwang and Zhou Baichuan, as if terrified: "Brother Qi Jue, please don't hit me."
Yunxi couldn't help but clap her hands.
An award-winning actress...
Lin Wuwang frowned even more deeply and raised his hand to block his frail junior sister.
"Qi Jue, what do you want to do?"
Lin Wuwang said, "Considering that your Lingxiao Sect's junior sister saved my brothers' lives, I can let this matter rest. But if you take another step forward, don't blame me for being impolite."
Qi Jue didn't react much, but Yun hope was so annoyed that she couldn't even eat sunflower seeds: "I was wrong."
He paused briefly, but he had been scolding Qi Jue. What had she done wrong?
Yunxi genuinely regretted it: "I must have been really out of my mind to save you two idiots!"
Nightfall offered timely comfort: "It's not your fault."
"It's my fault!" he said coldly. "I used too much force when I set the fire and burned these two people's brains off."
The brainless Lin Wuwang: "..."
Lin Wuwang placed his hand on the blade: "What? You want to fight?"
When it comes to fighting, Ye Jin is the authority. He curled his lips indifferently, picked up a sword from the side, and also assumed a ready-to-fight stance: "Let's fight then~"
"Lin Wuwang," Ye Jin provocatively said, "you don't really think I'm afraid of you, do you?"
Song Hemian curled his lip: "...You stole my sword again."
Seeing the two sects in a confrontation, he quickly nudged Lu Qiwu, signaling the others to retreat and leave a perfect space for a fight. In order to protect himself, he also took out a new sword from his storage bag.
"Heh~"
Before the sword fight began, Qi Jue, who had been silent all along, finally let out a laugh.
"Don't rush me~"
The boy looked nonchalant, not like he was about to fight. He calmly said in a low voice, "I'm not like some people who make up stories to frame someone."
"Since you're talking about settling accounts, then I definitely have evidence."
"?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Jin raised an eyebrow and calmly threw away his sword.
Song Hemian: "..." You dog.
"You..." Shen Qingqing felt a deep unease, but still pretended to be calm: "What evidence do you have?"
The Black Bone Eagle is dead.
The clothes are ruined.
Her hands were clean.
Shen Qingqing didn't believe Qi Jue could produce any other evidence. Even if he did, she could just deny it and everything would be fine.
Anyway, those stupid sword cultivators in the sect don't have much of a brain, they'll definitely side with him.
Shen Qingqing thought so.
But unexpectedly...
She watched in disbelief as Qi Jue pulled out a recording stone, completely dumbfounded.
Yun hope was so surprised that she dropped her melon seeds. She couldn't help but ask, "Fourth Senior Brother, do you have so many recording stones?"
Qi Jue pouted helplessly: "What can we do?"
The boy wore a helpless expression, as if there were always treacherous subjects trying to harm him.
It was a lucky accident.
While in the illusion, Qi Jue thought Su Yuanshuang's hammer-wielding posture was too cool, so he activated a recording stone. When they left the illusion and entered the middle of the maze, the recording stone was still working and recorded what happened next.
While Yunxi was stewing Lin Wuwang in an iron pot, he secretly checked the recording stone and took out the part of the video of the murder and recorded it separately in the new recording stone.
Qi Jue activated the recording stone, and a large movie screen lit up in front of them.
It was footage of them attacking the monster.
"..."
"..."
Yunxi couldn't help but give Qi Jue a thumbs up: "Fourth Senior Brother, you're amazing."
He didn't speak, but gestured for Lin Wuwang to look at the surveillance footage.
On the contrary, Shen Qingqing's face instantly turned completely pale.
Damn it...
Qi Jue, that idiot, used to silently endure being wronged by her without saying a word. How come he's learned to fight back after joining a lousy sect?
"No... we don't need to look anymore."
She rushed over, trying to turn off the recording stone: "Brother Qi Jue, I don't blame you anymore, okay?"
Qi Jue tossed the recording stone aside and into Yun hope's hand.
She quickly put it away, and said defiantly, "Are you scared?"
"I don't."
Shen Qingqing stamped her feet in desperation, desperately pleading in her mind: [Mo Chen, please think of something!]
【…】
Mo Chen cursed under his breath as an idiot and began to play dead.
He had only just recovered a little bit, and that was only by consuming the souls of more than a dozen demonic cultivators.
If Shen Qingqing had been more ambitious and obtained that life-saving inheritance, he could have wiped out all of these people by now.
But Shen Qingqing was just hopeless; not only could she not help, she also dragged him down.
At this moment, Mo Chen really didn't want to expend his energy to help this fool.
Receiving no reply, Shen Qingqing became even more furious, cursing and swearing: "Damn it, they all deserve to die..."
The surveillance footage happened to capture the most crucial information.
On the photo stone, Shen Qingqing first smeared black powder on the beast's wings, then on Qi Jue's clothes. Every step was done swiftly and decisively, showing her determination to take Qi Jue's life.
"..."
The scene became incredibly quiet.
All that remained was the sound of Yunxi cracking sunflower seeds.
She became a little embarrassed and went from loudly and freely chewing to chewing softly.
Nightfall found it amusing: "What's the point?"
Yunxi: "You don't understand, this creates a more tense atmosphere."
The photo on the commemorative stone ended quickly.
Qi Jue curled her lips into a smile and asked Lin Wuwang, "Now, may I continue with the accounts?"
