“I wasn’t learning, just enjoying the scenery here.”

Elder Hong: “…” She is talking rubbish now.

“Elder Hong, she’s been bullying others recently, it’s like she’s become insane.” Zhu Xiaoyu continued to report to Elder Hong.

“You get down first, don’t sit up there.” Elder Hong felt it was a bit strenuous to look up.

Ming Shu didn’t care much about this. She stepped on the wall and jumped down easily. She even made a handsome ending pose when she landed.

“Xuan Ji changed a lot recently…”

“Really, she did. She looks more beautiful than before, and not like the whole world owes her. She smiles frequently, and it just makes her look even better.”

The discussions of the disciples reached the ears of Yun Yao. She watched Ming Shu walking to stand in front of Elder Hong with brisk steps, and she was a bit puzzled.

“Don’t come here again, understand?” Elder Hong didn’t sound like he was going to punish Ming Shu.

“Elder Hong, stealing techniques violates the rules, she must be severely punished.” A resonant voice rang from behind Elder Hong.

Elder Hong’s face changed a bit and turned around to face the source, then he said lowly, “Elder Xu, I am responsible for this practice court, and I don’t heed your commands.”

Elder Xu and Elder Hong were almost the same age, but the former looked less kind.

His sharp eyes swept past Ming Shu as he sneered, “I am also a deacon elder of the external division, so I can’t let you cover things up, Elder Hong. If the masters learn about this, you know what the result will be, right?”

“I wasn’t stealing techniques.” Ming Shu explained herself: “I’m not interested in this stuff.”

I don’t want to cultivate immortality.

It’s true. Believe me.

She was just observing the fake female protagonist, and pa.s.singly checked if the fake protagonist lit up a cooking skill.

The cooking skill of the female protagonist was usually master-level, which was hard to encounter often.

But she didn’t see the female protagonist…

[…] I have a bad feeling.

Guest, you have to calm down and think twice. We should keep our eyes off the female protagonist. The male protagonist may sometimes not be that hard to deal with, but the female protagonist is a creature we can’t handle!

The next minute Ming Shu was drowned by p.o.r.n videos in her brain, with loud noises of breathing and moaning.

Ming Shu’s smile got distorted.

Harmony System, what are you doing?

[Guest, are you calm now?]

What the h.e.l.l… Are you expecting to calm me down by playing p.o.r.n videos for me? No, wait, why do I need to calm down? What’s wrong with me?

[…]

The Harmony System turned off the p.o.r.n videos.

While Ming Shu and the Harmony System were communicating, Elder Hong and Elder Xu had a heated debate on her “stealing techniques.”

outer sect disciples headed by Zhu Xiaoyu resolutely supported Elder Xu in that Ming Shu must be severely punished.

Ming Shu: “…” Can I find a place to have some food first and then come back?

As Ming Shu was thinking about this issue, a disciple rushed over.

“Elder Xu, something happened.”

The two elders stopped the debate and looked at the disciple. “What’s wrong?”

The disciple wiped off his cold sweat and answered, “The elixirs which are supposed to be a.s.signed to all junior brothers and sisters are gone.”

Elder Xu’s expression suddenly twisted. “Gone? How are they gone?”

Everyone present including Elder Hong looked at the disciple who was reporting.

The disciple was a little scared.

“Speak, what happened!”

Elder Xu let out a roar. The disciple hesitated for a moment, then stuttered, “I went to the Lihun Peak to take the elixirs yesterday. On the way back, my stomach felt uncomfortable, so I asked Junior Sister Yang Wan to help send them to the Dan Pavilion.”

“After I went back, because I had to go to the evening practice, I didn’t go to the Dan Pavilion to confirm…” As he spoke, the disciple’s voice became weaker and weaker, which sounded almost like crying. “Just now I went to the Dan Pavilion to take the elixirs, preparing to distribute them to the junior brothers and sisters. Who knew that the senior brother of the Dan Pavilion said no one left the medicine there yesterday at all.”

Each month, the outer sect disciples could get a Qingling Dan to clear away impurities from the body.

Nowadays, the technique of refining elixirs in all major sects was fading away. Qingling Dan was not very precious in a big sect like Yin Sect, but if someone brought it down the mountain for selling, it was valuable then.

“Who is Yang Wan?” Elder Xu asked directly after listening to the disciple’s narrative.

A pet.i.te figure walked out from the crowd, and her face looked very pale. “Elder Xu, I gave the elixirs to Xuan Ji and asked her to send them to the Dan pavilion…”

Innocent Ming Shu: “…”

What the h.e.l.l?

Did you give them to me in a dream?

“Xuan Ji, where are the elixirs?” Elder Xu looked at Ming Shu with a very unhappy face.

Why the h.e.l.l would I know that?!

I have never seen any elixirs.

Ming Shu turned to Yang Wan smilingly. “May I ask when and where you gave me the elixirs? Which clothes I was wearing when you gave them to me, and what I was doing?”

Yang Wan answered in a low voice, “I gave them to you when we were about to take the evening practice cla.s.s, in the winding corridor to the Dan pavilion. You were in Taoist robe of course.”

Ming Shu chuckled in her heart.

This girl didn’t do enough work to frame me. It’s too unprofessional, a negative comment I may give.

“Xuan Ji, where are the elixirs? Hand them over right now, and you may not be punished too harshly.”

Hearing the girl’s words, Elder Xu immediately shouted at Ming Shu without allowing any explanation. He seemed to be very sure that it was Ming Shu who took them.

Ming Shu chuckled. “I didn’t see any elixirs, how could I hand them over? Do you want me to rub some elixirs on you right now?”

Everyone: “…” Rub? Do you think it’s a mud pellet?

“Elder Xu, she won’t admit it. You should search for evidence directly. There were quite a lot of elixirs, she must’ve hidden them somewhere.” Zhu Xiaoyu stood out and gave ideas to Elder Xu.

“Nonsense. Xuan Ji wasn’t in the Taoist robe when we were about to have the evening practice yesterday. And she was with us, why didn’t we see you?” Lin Jin squeezed in and defended Ming Shu with his several errand boys.

Yang Wan’s face got paler and she unconsciously looked at Zhu Xiaoyu.

Zhu Xiaoyu changed her face a bit as Lin Jin spoke out. But she didn’t give up. “You’ve been hanging out with her recently, who knows if you’re helping her lie.”

Zhu Xiaoyu cursed in her heart. She didn’t know what was wrong with this Lin Jin. After they came back that day, he suddenly began to care about Xuan Ji too much.

“If it was her or not, we’ll see.”

Elder Xu ordered some people to search the place.

Elder Hong frowned and looked at Ming Shu. He seemed to be asking “Was it you?”‘ with his questioning eyes.

Ming Shu smiled and shook her head.

Elder Hong nodded and followed a group of people to search.

Seeing Ming Shu return with so many outer sect disciples and two deacon elders, the servant disciples gathered around one after another and discussed heatedly.

Naturally, they didn’t find anything. Zhu Xiaoyu was a little surprised and looked at the pale Yang Wan.

Yang Wan was also a bit panicked. She didn’t respond to Zhu Xiaoyu.

Zhu Xiaoyu had to continue the framing. “She must have hidden them somewhere else. Elder Xu, it must be her who took the elixirs. I saw her stealing food in the kitchen before, and she also stole techniques.”

“Search the whole yard again.” Elder Xu gave the order.

Ming Shu watched them tossing about calmly. She wore a leisurely look and didn’t seem to care about anything.

They searched everywhere, but didn’t find any sign of elixirs.

Elder Hong opened his mouth unhappily now. “Elder Xu, you have no conclusive evidence that Yang Wan gave the elixirs to Xuan Ji and let her deliver them to the Dan Pavilion. Xuan Ji has someone to prove that she didn’t receive the elixirs. Now you searched the place and found nothing, what other doubts do you have?”

“Elder Hong, the missing elixirs is not a tiny issue.”

“Of course I know this, but that doesn’t mean you can suspect these disciples willfully.”

The two elders had a fierce battle of gazes against each other.

The atmosphere suddenly quieted down.

A gentle voice broke the strange, silent atmosphere: “Well, well, you look so scared, did you just frame me?”
