Three days later.
Xia Ping was still cultivating peacefully in his courtyard, but the day was still peaceful. The Sage Discourse Conference organized by the Human Race had already begun, and it was in full swing.
It was said that Sages from various races from all over the universe had come. They also cherished this opportunity and wanted to exchange experiences with the invincible Sages of the Human Race. This would be of great benefit to them.
However, it seemed that the Human Race Sages had no intention of doing anything. It was as if this was a normal Sage Discourse Conference.
However, he also knew that this Sage Discourse Conference would be held for at least ten days. Within these ten days, the Human Race Sages could attack at any time.
As for when they would attack, probably only the higher-ups of the Human Race would know. Apart from them, no one else knew. The only thing he could do now was to wait.
Anyway, he was very patient and did not care when the Human Race Sages would attack.
Dong dong dong!!!
At this moment, someone knocked on the door outside the courtyard. It was very urgent, like a storm.
"Who is it?"
Xia Ping opened his eyes and spread out his divine sense. He immediately sensed that dozens of people had appeared outside his door. All of them were guards of the treasury's outer hall, and they surrounded him fiercely.
One of them was the Immortal Sage. He knew this person as well. It was the deputy leader of the treasury's outer hall, Fayne. He had a high position and could be considered the person in charge of this place.
Usually, he would be cultivating in seclusion and would not appear where the guards were. Now that he had appeared with a group of guards, this was no small matter.
"Barty, come out immediately. Lord Fayne is here, and you're still hiding in the courtyard. What a scandal. Do you know what respect is?" a guard outside shouted fiercely.
With a smack, Xia Ping walked out from inside and opened the door. Seeing this group of people, his expression was very calm. "So it's deputy leader Fayne. I wonder why you're here?"
He saw a middle-aged man in a blue robe appear in front of him. He was two meters tall and emitted a frightening aura. This was clearly deputy leader Fayne.
He could even feel a faint trace of malice from Fayne. He had clearly come with ill intentions.
"Deputy leader?!"
Hearing this, Fayne was very displeased.
What he hated the most was people calling him Deputy Palace Master. Which ordinary person did not respectfully address him as Palace Master? Yet, this brat did not know any manners at all. It was extremely irritating.
However, he was an Undying Saint. He was extremely shrewd and wouldn't easily reveal his emotions.
"Why are you still asking?"
One of the guards said angrily, "You new guards haven't even been here for twenty days and we've already lost an important treasure in the Outer Hall of Treasures. We suspect that it might be you new guards who stole this treasure.
Now, we have been ordered to investigate the rooms of all your new guards to see which thief has the stolen treasures. If we find them, we will not let them off lightly. "
He told them where he had come from. An important treasure had been stolen from the Outer Palace's treasury, and now the entire Outer Palace was searching for it. The situation was extremely serious.
"It can't be me. Ever since I came to the Outer Palace, I've been staying in my room, cultivating in seclusion. I've never left. You've got the wrong person."
Xia Ping said lightly.
"Hmph, if you say you're not, then you're not. Which thief doesn't say the same? Also, you said you've been staying in your room. Who can prove this?"
The guard sneered, "Cut the crap. Get out of the way and let us search your room. If we can't find anything, we'll naturally prove your innocence."
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
Without waiting for Xia Ping to reply, dozens of guards rushed in. They didn't care whether Xia Ping agreed or not. Like bandits, they quickly barged into the courtyard.
Rumble ~ ~
This group of guards rummaged through the chests and cabinets like wolves and tigers. They were extremely violent, not caring if the things here were destroyed or not. They practically searched every corner of the courtyard.
All of a sudden, a guard captain shouted, "Found it! The lost treasure, the Water Moon Pearl, is here. Sure enough, this Barty is the real thief. He entered the outer hall and stole the Water Moon Pearl."
It was unknown when he had taken out a fist-sized bead. The bead emitted a silvery-white light, containing the dense power of moonlight and pure Yin energy.
Anyone could see that this pearl was not a simple treasure. It could be considered one of the rare treasures.
If this Water Moon Pearl was auctioned outside, it would be worth at least three hundred million Universe Credits.
"Barty, you've got guts. How dare you steal from the Outer Palace's treasury and steal the Water Moon Pearl. Now that we have a witness and material evidence, what else do you have to say? Confess immediately. When did you do this?"
"I've already said this Barty's hands and feet were not clean. One look and I knew he was a thief. Now that I see it, it seems so."
"You really can't change your ways. I've heard before that Barty is a dishonest person, often committing petty thievery and playing tricks. I didn't think that he would even dare to touch the treasures in the Outer Palace's treasury. How audacious of him to even dare to steal."
"What else is there to say? Immediately capture this thief, torture him, and throw him into the Illusion's prison for ten thousand years."
One by one, the guards shouted angrily. Their murderous intent was boiling. They seemed to be waiting for someone to give the order to tear Xia Ping apart. They spread out in every corner, not allowing Xia Ping to escape.
"I didn't steal it. This is a trap."
Xia Ping stood with his hands behind his back and said coldly, "I saw this thing clearly. This kid took it out from his body and purposely placed it in my room."
He pointed at the guard captain.
"Bullsh * t. You mean I've wronged you and purposely framed you? Who do you think you are to be framed by me? It just so happens that Master Finn is also here. No one can play any tricks in front of Master Finn. If I really framed you and took out the stolen goods, this kind of thing definitely can't be hidden from Master Finn. We can ask Master Finn to do justice and see who is lying. "The guard captain grinned hideously.
The other guards could not help but nod. No mortal could do anything in front of an Immortal Saint. If Sir Finn was the one to do justice, he would definitely be able to prove everyone's innocence.
"Sir Finn, please do me justice."
The guard captain turned around and said respectfully to Fayne.
"Yes, I saw the whole thing. This stolen item, the Water Moon Bead, was indeed found in this place. It has nothing to do with anyone else, which means this Barty is the real thief."
Hearing this, Finn nodded arrogantly, indicating that Xia Ping was the one who did it. There was no framing at all. It was all Xia Ping's lies.
