The Disciplinary Hall warden frowned and looked sternly at Lu Xiuwen, who was standing beside Yun Shu with a calm expression.
"Lu Xiuwen, what do you have to say about this?"
Lu Xiuwen glanced at Yun Shu's pale face expressionlessly and said, "I did not do such a thing to harm my fellow sect members."
The warden said, "When you guys returned from a mission previously, you reported that Yun Shu had met with a mishap. Now that Yun Shu is not dead and has accused you as the murderer, what explanation do you have for this?"
Lu Xiuwen said, "Half a month ago, Junior Brother Yun and I left the sect for a mission. Along the way, I did not have any conflicts with Junior Brother Yun, and I was with the rest of the team from the start to the end. I did not have a chance to attack Junior Brother Yun. Junior Brother Yun got separated from us when we were hunting demonic beasts. After we killed the demonic beasts, Junior Brother Yun disappeared. We searched for a long time in the forest and only saw Junior Brother Yun's bloody clothes, so we thought that Junior Brother Yun was killed …"
As he spoke, Lu Xiuwen turned around slightly and looked at Yun Shu, who was glaring at him furiously. He said calmly, "As for why Junior Brother Yun pointed out that I am the murderer, I do not understand as well. Warden, please prove my innocence."
Lu Xiuwen spoke unhurriedly without the slightest bit of panic or guilt.
The disciples surrounding the entrance of the Disciplinary Hall could not help but whisper among themselves when they saw this.
Yun Shu and Lu Xiuwen were the two most talented among the new disciples, and their skills were about the same. Now that these two new talents were involved in this matter, many people wanted to watch the show.
"Lu Xiuwen is from the Formidable Heavens Royals. What kind of treasure has he not seen before? He would not snatch a Shangyue Fire Tripod, right?"
"What do you know? That Shangyue Fire Tripod is the best cultivation artifact for us Connate Level Nine martial artists. It can increase cultivation speed the fastest. Who doesn't want it?"
"Lu Xiuwen and Yun Shu's skills are about the same. If one of them obtained the Shangyue Fire Tripod, he would definitely be able to leave the other behind. It is naturally a treasure."
The Disciplinary Hall warden frowned slightly and looked at Yun Shu.
"Yunshu, you said that Lu Xiuwen deliberately lured you away. Is there anyone who can testify for you?"
Yun Shu frowned slightly and pondered for a moment. He could not help but sweep his gaze across the crowd and saw Su Wan standing in the crowd.
When Su Wan met Yun Shu's gaze, her eyes flickered and she pursed her lips.
"Warden, when Lu Xiuwen called me, outer sect disciple Su Wan was nearby as well," Yun Shu said slowly.
The warden thought for a moment and sent Su Wan up.
When the disciples saw Su Wan stepping forward, they could not help but be tempted.
During this period of time, Su Wan and Yun Shu were very close, and there were already rumors about the two of them in the outer sect. Now that Yun Shu called Su Wan to testify, everyone could not help but guess that given Su Wan's love for Yun Shu, she would probably bite Lu Xiuwen to death.
"Disciple Su Wan greets Deacon." Su Wan stepped forward gently.
The warden nodded slightly. "Did you see Lu Xiuwen and Yunshu leave together that day?"
Su Wan pursed her red lips, and her gaze swept across Yun Shu's face that was filled with anticipation. She then retracted her gaze and said slowly after a moment of silence,
"The battle was intense at that time, and I was focused on fighting the demonic beasts. So … I did not notice this …"
