Xiao Ye's reply caused everyone's expression to change.
Baili Ningsu expressionlessly looked at her and continued to ask, "You were ordered to serve Ji Tianxing in He Feng Garden, but you weren't there. Where did you go?"
Xiao Ye fearfully lowered her head, her voice carrying a sobbing tone, "This servant followed Eldest Miss's orders and went to the kitchen to bring young master Ji some spiritual porridge.
For the past two days, after nightfall, this servant would go to the kitchen and leave for an hour.
When this servant brought the spiritual porridge back to He Feng Garden, young master Ji was no longer in his room. "
Hearing her reply, Ji Tianxing's expression immediately changed, his heart cursing.
But he also knew that what Xiao Ye said was the truth!
Baili Ningsu glanced at Ji Tianxing, then continued to ask Xiao Ye, "Then do you know when Ji Tianxing left He Feng Garden?"
"Mistress, this servant also doesn't know!" Xiao Ye didn't dare to hide anything and could only answer truthfully.
Baili Ningsu took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in her heart. Expressionlessly, she said, "You may withdraw."
"Yes!" Xiao Ye replied. She hurriedly bowed and left the room.
After Xiao Ye left, Baili Ningsu looked at Ji Tianxing, her voice cold as ice, "Ji Tianxing, Xiao Ye can't prove your innocence. What else do you have to say?"
Ji Tianxing's expression was somewhat unsightly, but he could only speak with sincerity, "Aunt, I know you don't believe me, but this is indeed a coincidence.
This incident happened so suddenly. Please give me some time. I will definitely find out the truth and prove my innocence! "
Baili Ningsu shook her head, expressionlessly saying, "No need to say anything more! As for the truth of the matter, I will be able to discern it. "
After saying that, she looked at the two elders beside her and ordered in a deep voice, "Elders, take Ji Tianxing away and lock him up in the ice prison. Guard him strictly!
After I report this matter to the Family Head, we will convict him! "
"Aunt!" Ji Tianxing immediately revealed an anxious expression, still wanting to explain.
However, Baili Ningsu had already closed her eyes, clearly unwilling to listen to him.
The two elders no longer hesitated, their faces cold as ice as they walked to Ji Tianxing's side. They stretched out their steel-like hands and grabbed his arms.
The two of them grabbed his arms, one on the left and one on the right, and walked out of Baili Ningsu's room.
The two elders of the Yun Clan were experts, both at the seventh or eighth level of Sky Origin Stage.
If Ji Tianxing struggled with all his might, there was a great chance that he would be able to break free and escape from the two elders.
But if he really did that, there would be another conflict, and the conflict between him and Cloud Spirit Palace would become even more intense. It would only make this matter harder to explain clearly.
Thus, he could only keep keep his calm and let the two elders to hold him.
Not long after, the two elders escorted him out of the Thousand Cloud Palace, heading towards the ice prison deep underground.
Qian Yue was not captured, but it was worried about Ji Tianxing's safety, so it followed Ji Tianxing all the way, unwilling to leave.
After a while, Ji Tianxing was about to be taken to the underground ice prison. Seeing Qian Yue still following him, he said to it with a serious face, "Qian Yue! You can't follow me to the ice prison!
Go back now and look for Yao Yao immediately. Tell her about this matter clearly.
Madame Yun won't believe me, only Yao Yao will. Maybe she can help me find out the truth.
This is my only chance to clear my name and prove my innocence! "
Qian Yue understood the urgency of the situation, so it quickly stopped and nodded. It said seriously, "Old Ji, don't worry. I will go find Yun Yao now!
Don't worry, we will find a way to save you and prove your innocence! "
After that, Qian Yue quickly turned around and left.
Ji Tianxing was escorted by two elders. They passed through the dimly lit tunnel and walked towards the depths of the underground.
Not long after, he was taken to the ice prison.
The ice prison was a prison built by the Yun family in the mountains. It was protected by a powerful array and was guarded by many elite guards.
The entire prison was made of ice. The temperature was so low that even the air was frozen.
If an Origin Core Stage martial artist was imprisoned here, they would have to endure the corrosion of the extremely cold air at all times, and would definitely experience a pain worse than death.
Although Sky Origin Stage cultivators could withstand the extreme cold, they would still find it unbearable. Both their minds and bodies would be tortured.
After all, the ice prison was dark, cold, and silent. It made people feel sad and lonely.
Ji Tianxing was locked in a prison cell with a radius of five meters. The entire prison cell was made of ice bricks and was sealed by an invisible array.
There was nothing in the prison cell. The walls were white and there was no other color.
After the door of the prison cell was closed and the two elders left, the prison cell fell into silence.
Ji Tianxing stood alone in the prison cell. He thought about what had happened and tried to find some clues.
He still couldn't figure out who wanted to frame him. Why did they do it? What was their goal?
…
Inside the Thousand Cloud Palace, the lights were bright and the atmosphere was tense.
Baili Ningsu and the others left the room and entered the main hall.
The guards and maids were standing guard outside the main hall. There were only a few people in the main hall.
Baili Ningsu sat on a jade lotus platform. Her face was pale and her eyes were closed. She was recuperating from her injuries.
Her father, Divine Doctor Baili, had heard the news and rushed over. He was using a Soul Secret Technique to help her expel the poison and treat her injuries.
Even the head of the family, Yun ZhongQi, was alarmed. He stood beside Baili Ningsu and looked at her with concern. His face was full of worry.
He already knew what had happened. His mood was very complicated and heavy.
At this moment, a graceful figure in a long white dress stepped through the door like a gust of wind and entered the hall.
It was Yun Yao. She had just learned that her mother had been assassinated and rushed over as fast as she could.
Swoosh!
Yun Yao rushed into the main hall. When she saw Baili Ningsu covered in blood and in a miserable state, her face was full of worry.
She saw that her grandfather was treating her mother. She didn't dare to disturb him. She looked at her father, Yun ZhongQi, and asked in a low voice, "Father! How are my mother's injuries? Is it serious? "
"Sigh …" Yun ZhongQi sighed and said in a low voice, "Your mother's injuries are very serious. She was almost stabbed in the heart and died on the spot.
Moreover, the assassin's dagger was dipped in poison. It has already entered her heart. "
Yun ZhongQi saw that Yun Yao's expression changed drastically. He was extremely worried. He quickly comforted her, "Yao Yao, don't worry. Your grandfather is here. Your mother will be fine."
Only then did Yunyao feel a little relieved. She asked in a gloomy tone, "Father, have you caught the assassin? Who is so vicious and savage that they dared to assassinate my mother in Cloud Spirit Palace? "
Yun ZhongQi glanced at her and said with a strange expression, "The assassin is … Ji Tianxing!"
