"I didn't mean to slander you. It's just that your actions are suspicious. What you said just now can be interpreted as you having a guilty conscience. If it's not you, and it's not a disciple of the Hoshigarashi Sōshi, why are you so angry?" Xiao Chen sneered, his eyes turning cold.
"Late Stage of Inedia, Xiao Chen. It's obvious that it's not him. Just check if it's a Golden Core Stage cultivator." The Ancient White Tiger Voice Transmission said.
"That's right! If it's not a disciple of the Hoshigarashi Sōshi, what are you so worried about? "The people of Baihua Town shouted.
"The Hoshigarashi Sōshi is not a place where you can behave atrociously! Xiao Chen, you have to pay for what you said just now! " Ye Tianli shouted. As the eldest disciple, he couldn't stand being doubted by Xiao Chen in front of so many disciples.
"Ye Tian, stop!" At this time, a majestic voice came from the main hall.
"Greetings, Sect Leader!" The disciples of the Hoshigarashi Sōshi said respectfully.
"Sect Leader Hanyun is here!" A cultivator of Baihua Town said.
"Ye Tian, why are you so impatient? Have you forgotten what the Old Man told you? "Hanyun walked over slowly and said to Ye Tian. He was blaming Ye Tian for failing to live up to his expectations.
"Sect Leader, that brat slandered me. He slandered the Hoshigarashi Sōshi. I …" Ye Tian hurriedly explained.
Hanyun waved his hand and said, "The innocent knows the innocent."
Hanyun looked at the people of Baihua Town and smiled faintly, "The incident of the flower thief has made the people of Baihua Town panic. Old Man can understand your actions today. Since you came to the Hoshigarashi Sōshi, you must have some evidence. If it's really done by a disciple of the Hoshigarashi Sōshi, Old Man will punish him severely and expel him from the sect. He will hand him over to you."
"Xiao Chen, this Hoshigarashi Sōshi's sect leader seems easy to deal with. He has reached the Early Stage of Nascent Soul Stage and is very powerful. Ye Tian, on the other hand, thinks too highly of himself, which annoys me. I really want to kill him." The Ancient White Tiger Voice Transmission.
"Sect Leader Hanyun, there is no other way this time. All the evidence points to the Hoshigarashi Sōshi. We can only do this. I hope Sect Leader won't blame us." Old Li quickly cupped his fist and said.
"It doesn't matter. The Hoshigarashi Sōshi's disciples have been investigating for more than a month, but there is no progress. Old Man is deeply ashamed." Hanyun shook his head and smiled bitterly.
At this time, an elder said, "Since everyone suspects the Hoshigarashi Sōshi, how to prove it will be up to you. For the sake of the Hoshigarashi Sōshi's innocence, we will not interfere."
"Sect Leader Hanyun, it was my idea to go to the Hoshigarashi Sōshi today. I was the one who stabbed the black-clothed man last night. The black-clothed man fled in the direction of the Hoshigarashi Sōshi. I chased him to the woods on the outskirts of the Hundred Flowers Town, but I lost track of him. I won't talk about the black-clothed man's cultivation for the time being. In order to prevent someone from deceiving us, I hope Sect Leader Hanyun can ask the Hoshigarashi Sōshi's disciples to take off their clothes on their left shoulders. We will know the result after a thorough examination." Xiao Chen cupped his fist and said politely.
Hearing this, Ye Tian couldn't help but shout angrily, "Xiao Chen! Don't go too far! You can behave atrociously in the Hoshigarashi Sōshi, but you also want us to take off our clothes in public! What are your intentions? I don't think you are here to investigate the flower thief. You are here to humiliate the Hoshigarashi Sōshi! "
Xiao Chen looked at Ye Tian and said indifferently, "I still say the same thing. The innocent will know that they are innocent."
"That's right! Sect Leader Hanyun! This time, if the flower thief wasn't so rampant, we wouldn't have gone to the Hoshigarashi Sōshi in person! This matter must be investigated thoroughly! "A cultivator said, agreeing with Xiao Chen's words. The others also agreed.
"Sect Leader, Xiao Chen humiliated the Hoshigarashi Sōshi. Please let the disciples teach him a lesson!" Ye Tian quickly asked Hanyun for instructions. He couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to teach Xiao Chen a lesson.
"Sect Leader, this …" The several elders of the Hoshigarashi Sōshi were also in a dilemma. They didn't know what to do.
"This matter concerns the reputation of the Hoshigarashi Sōshi. Since the Baihua Town has already suspected us, if we refuse, we can't prove the Hoshigarashi Sōshi's innocence." Hanyun said in a deep voice. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Ye Tian, gather all the disciples of the Hoshigarashi Sōshi and inspect them one by one. Brother Xiao Chen, why don't you inspect them personally? You don't have to take off your clothes, right?"
"Sect Leader!" Ye Tian still wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Hanyun. Ye Tian was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He had no choice but to gather all the disciples of the Hoshigarashi Sōshi.
"Since Sect Leader Hanyun has said so, naturally, I don't have to take off my clothes. This time, I did it for the flower thief. I hope Sect Leader Hanyun can forgive me." Xiao Chen said with a faint smile. From the beginning to the end, Xiao Chen had been very calm, which made Hanyun secretly shocked.
More than a hundred disciples of the Hoshigarashi Sōshi were all gathered in the square. Xiao Chen and the cultivators of the Baihua Town went to inspect them one by one. The disciples of the Hoshigarashi Sōshi were secretly angry, but even if they were unwilling, they had to let the cultivators of the Baihua Town inspect them.
After more than ten minutes, Xiao Chen didn't find any sword wounds on the shoulders of the disciples of the Hoshigarashi Sōshi. The other cultivators of the Baihua Town also couldn't find any sword wounds.
"Strange, why is there no sword wounds?" A cultivator wondered.
"Is it really not a disciple of the Hoshigarashi Sōshi?"
"We can't find any. What should we do?"
"Yes, I didn't see any sword wounds." The cultivators shook their heads, indicating that they couldn't find any disciples with sword wounds.
"Xiao Chen, have you finished your inspection? What did you find? "Ye Tian asked coldly, looking very proud.
Xiao Chen said with a faint smile, "These disciples really don't have any sword wounds."
Hearing this, Hanyun and the other elders suddenly felt relieved. If it was really done by the disciples of the Hoshigarashi Sōshi, it wouldn't be as simple as being expelled from the sect. At that time, the reputation of the Hoshigarashi Sōshi would be greatly damaged, and it was very likely that it would decline because of this.
Xiao Chen looked at the Sect Master of the Hanyun Sect and said lightly, "Sect Master of the Hanyun Sect, the three elders, can you let me inspect them?"
"Xiao Chen, don't go too far!" Ye Tian shouted angrily, staring at Xiao Chen with angry eyes.
"Xiao Chen, how could the Sect Master and the elders do such a thing? Don't slander us!" A disciple couldn't help but shout angrily.
"What is the status of the Sect Master and the elders, and what is your status? Do you think you can inspect them just because you want to?"
"The Hoshigarashi Sōshi is not a place where you, Xiao Chen, can behave atrociously!" The disciples of the Hoshigarashi Sōshi were angry.
"Quiet." Hanyun waved his hand and looked at Xiao Chen calmly, "Brother Xiao Chen naturally has his reasons for doing this. Brother Xiao Chen, please."
"Thank you, Sect Master of the Hanyun Sect." Xiao Chen cupped his fist and smiled.
"Brother Xiao Chen, the Old Man has a sword wound on his shoulder. Can you see if it was done by you?" An elder said, indicating that Xiao Chen should inspect him first. There was some dissatisfaction with Xiao Chen in his words.
"Humph! Ridiculous, the Third Elder is a master of the Gold Core Stage. How can a brat like you hurt the Third Elder? "Ye Tian couldn't help but sneer, his eyes flashing with disdain.
"If it was really done by the Third Elder, Xiao Chen wouldn't be alive!"
"This time Xiao Chen is going to be defeated. How can a brat like him hurt the Third Elder? He's overestimating himself. "
"Hehe, the Third Elder can't stand it, so he made things difficult for Xiao Chen. He means to tell Xiao Chen not to be too arrogant."
The disciples of the Hoshigarashi Sōshi all looked very relieved. How could the cultivators of the Hundred Flowers Town not understand the meaning of the Third Elder? They all had a bitter look on their faces.
Xiao Chen just glanced at him and then smiled faintly, "The Third Elder does have a sword wound on his shoulder, but it was not done by me. The sword wound is just a scratch. If it was done by me, the wound would be very deep."
"You!" The Third Elder heard this and his face suddenly changed. His heart was filled with anger.
The disciples of the Hoshigarashi Sōshi were also stunned. No one thought that Xiao Chen would dare to say such arrogant words. He didn't put the Third Elder in his eyes at all.
Ye Tian shouted angrily, "Xiao Chen, you're insulting the Hoshigarashi Sōshi's Third Elder!"
"Arrogant guy! I'll teach him a lesson when I have the chance! "
"Xiao Chen, you have no respect for your seniors and insulted your elders. I think the real flower thief is you! In order to get away, you're pushing the blame to me, the Hoshigarashi Sōshi! "
The disciples of the Hoshigarashi Sōshi were angry again. They pointed at Xiao Chen and scolded him. The cultivators of Baihua Town were also shocked by Xiao Chen's words. They didn't think that Xiao Chen would dare to say such arrogant words in front of the Third Elder.
With Xiao Chen's outstanding intelligence, how could he not understand the dissatisfaction in the Third Elder's words? Since the Third Elder was humiliated, Xiao Chen naturally wouldn't let this opportunity go to waste.
Xiao Chen was no longer the trash he used to be. He was a master of the Gold Core stage. To those who insulted and made things difficult for him, Xiao Chen would not show any mercy. Even the Third Elder in front of him was no exception.
"This Xiao Chen dares to say such arrogant words. Is it because he doesn't know the Third Elder's cultivation or is there some other reason? Why can't the Old Man see the depth of his cultivation? "Hanyun was puzzled, and his eyes flashed with a complicated look.
Xiao Chen didn't pay attention to the anger of the Hoshigarashi Sōshi's disciples. He continued to check the others. After a while, the check was over. The result was the same. He couldn't find the person who was injured by him.
"Sect Master Hanyun, the Hoshigarashi Sōshi really can't find anyone with a sword wound. I have offended you. I hope you can forgive me. After all, this is related to the safety of everyone in Baihua Town." Xiao Chen said with a calm face.
The Hoshigarashi Sōshi was innocent. The Sect Master Hanyun was finally relieved. He smiled faintly and said, "It doesn't matter. It seems that someone deliberately wants to frame the Hoshigarashi Sōshi. Brother Xiao Chen, the Hoshigarashi Sōshi's disciples have been investigating for a month without the slightest clue. However, you found a clue in just a few days. The Old Man will send disciples down the mountain to investigate with you. I hope to find the culprit as soon as possible and punish him severely."
"Sect Master, please send me down the mountain. I will definitely find out who harmed the Hoshigarashi Sōshi. I will definitely tear the flower thief into pieces!" Ye Tian quickly asked for instructions.
"It seems that the flower thief's cultivation is not weak. In that case, Ye Tian, you take ten disciples who are in the Fasting Realm down the mountain to cooperate with Brother Xiao Chen to investigate this matter." Hanyun nodded in agreement.
"Yes! I will live up to your expectations! "Ye Tian said with a smile. He couldn't help but reveal a sneer on his face.
"Xiao Chen, this guy is so active in investigating the flower thief. He must have other intentions. I think he wants to find an opportunity to teach you a lesson!" Ancient White Tiger Voice Transmission said. He saw through Ye Tian's thoughts at a glance.
"It doesn't matter. If he dares to make a move, I will let him know who is the one who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!" Xiao Chen sneered and then left with the people of Baihua Town.
