CHAPTER 130
To deduce step by step.
"This piece of jade fell to the ground and I picked it up. How can you say that I snatched it?" After being seen through by Xue Qingwu, Chu Xingyun was not embarrassed. Instead, he was in a good mood and joked.
The Spirit Condensing Mystic Stone was originally in Su Changxing's hands. However, halfway through, Su Changxing threw the Spirit Condensing Mystic Stone away and said that he had never chosen it.
From that moment on, the Spirit Condensing Magnetite became an ownerless item. Chu Xingyun picking it up was completely reasonable and did not violate any of the sect's rules.
"If Su Changxing knew the truth, he would be so angry that he would vomit three liters of blood." Xue Qingwu helplessly smiled bitterly, but she did not despise Chu Xingyun in her heart. Instead, she felt very relieved because Su Changxing finally got a little lesson.
"Right." Suddenly, Xue Qingwu thought of something and asked Chu Xingyun, "The lampstand you just took should not be made of Yuyin Stone, but why did Su Changxing show such a surprised expression when he did as you said?"
"Try it yourself and you will know." Chu Xingyun smiled and passed the lampstand to Xue Qingwu.
Xue Qingwu was confused. Following Chu Xingyun's instructions, she released the last bit of Yin energy in her body and circulated it three times. Suddenly, she felt extremely comfortable.
"This …" Xue Qingwu was even more confused.
Chu Xingyun smiled mysteriously. "Don't use your Yin energy, just use your spiritual energy."
Xue Qingwu nodded and poured her spiritual energy into the lampstand. Then, she took it back and circulated it three times.
Buzz!
Almost at the same time, Xue Qing felt refreshed again. It was exactly the same feeling as before.
"This lampstand is made of a type of jade called Agarwood. No matter if it is Yin energy or spiritual energy, as long as it is poured in, the Agarwood will emit a delicate fragrance. This fragrance can soothe the mind and make a cultivator feel comfortable." Chu Xingyun explained with a smile. He reached out his hand and put the Spirit Condensing Mystic Stone into his bag.
"So it is Agarwood. No wonder I felt it was familiar." Xue Qingwu suddenly understood, but still had some doubts. She said, "Su Changxing is usually overbearing, but with his intelligence, how could he be so easily fooled by you? Not only that, but twice."
Su Changxing was not stupid since he was in the Earth Spirit realm.
He couldn't recognize the Spirit Condensing Magnetite and was deceived by Chu Xing Yun. This was understandable. After all, everyone would be more cautious when facing an unknown object.
His caution could be easily exploited and he would make a mistake.
However, Agarwood was very common. As long as he paid attention, Su Changxing should have discovered it. But in the end, he had believed Chu Xingyun's words and even searched everywhere for the lampstand. This was too exaggerated. It felt like he had been bewitched.
"Su Changxing would not have fallen for my tricks on any other day, but today is an exception."
Chu Xingyun smiled faintly and said, "Su Changxing has feelings for you. Everything he did today was to please you. But my appearance made him make a fool of himself again and again. He must be full of resentment towards me in his heart."
"Under these circumstances, if I provoke him with words in front of you, he will surely refute many times due to his pride and face. He might even want to take advantage of my embarrassing state to vent the hatred in his heart. As time goes by, he will lose his most basic judgment. I only need to use a few more tricks and he will completely believe my words."
Xue Qingwu's pupils shrank when she heard this. Now that she thought back, it seemed that every word Chu Xingyun said not only provoked Su Changxing, but also secretly guided him, making Su Changxing unwittingly fall into a trap.
"However, my words and actions can only affect his judgment. What truly made him believe that the lampstand was the Yin Imperial Stone was himself, and not my deception." Chu Xingyun's voice was gentle as he turned his head and smiled at Xue Qingwu.
"What do you mean by this?" Xue Qingwu was completely in a state of confusion. She felt that her thoughts had sunk into a whirlpool and was unable to think properly.
"It's very simple. Su Changxing was injured, and he was injured by the Evil Yin Qi." After Chu Xingyun finished this sentence, he did not say anything more and just looked at Xue Qingwu with a smile.
Xue Qingwu frowned and kept thinking about the meaning of this sentence in her mind. Finally, her eyes lit up and she subconsciously jumped up. Her eyes were filled with understanding.
"Su Changxing stepped into the Earth Spirit Realm some time ago. When he broke through, he was injured by the Evil Yin Qi. This time, he entered Cloud Tower with the purpose of finding treasures to heal his injuries."
"When you said that the Yin Imperial Stone could heal the injuries caused by the Evil Yin Qi, he would be filled with joy. After a series of experiments, he would feel refreshed and comfortable. It is very likely that he would believe your words and really think that the Yin Imperial Stone could heal physical injuries. He would also believe that the lampstand was made by the Yin Imperial Stone."
After Xue Qingwu finished speaking, she took in a few breaths of cold air.
She once heard Xue Dangkong say that when a person is happy or angry, their mind would become unclear and it would be easy to make a wrong judgment.
Su Changxing was continuously humiliated by Chu Xingyun just now, and he was furious in his heart.
Because of Xue Qingwu's presence, Su Changxing had to suppress his anger and was led by the nose by Chu Xingyun.
In the end, Chu Xingyun took out a lampstand and said that it was made by the Yin Imperial Stone. Using the characteristics of the Agarwood Stone, Su Changxing was ecstatic and thought that it could really heal the injuries on his body.
Anger, excitement, and joy. These three emotions filled his mind. Even if it was an old and cunning official, he would also lose his ability to judge and be thoroughly calculated by Chu Xingyun.
"Chu Xingyun, who exactly are you?" Xue Qingwu took a few deep breaths and came back to her senses. She finally understood why Xue Dangkong would give such a high evaluation to Chu Xingyun.
Today, she personally experienced it. Until Chu Xingyun explained everything clearly, she completely understood and truly experienced what it meant to devise strategies and deduce step by step in the heart.
"Since you already know, don't make a fuss, lest Su Changxing finds out." Chu Xingyun made a finger gesture to silence her. He took a step forward and said, "Let's go."
"Go? Where to? "Xue Qingwu asked.
"I'm bored right now. So, I want to help you choose some rare treasures. Take it as a reward for not exposing me just now. Of course, you can forget about it if you don't want to." Chu Xing Yun shrugged his shoulders, and was about to leave.
"Don't." Xue Qingwu grabbed Chu Xingyun's hand. Just as she touched Chu Xingyun's hand, she immediately retracted it. Her whole little face became red. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
Chu Xingyun was amused by Xue Qingwu's action.
He didn't expect that Xue Qingwu, who was known as the number one beauty of the Liuyun Dynasty, would have such a cute expression. She didn't have her usual cold temperament and instead seemed approachable.
"I was just joking. Let's go. If we delay, I'm afraid we'll miss a good show." Chu Xingyun held back his laughter and walked towards the bookcase in front of him.
"What good show?" Xue Qingwu stomped her feet, but still quickly followed and asked curiously.
