Zhou Xinlian had obtained the alchemy furnace for five years and felt that she was very familiar with it. With a calm and confident face, she called Chu Xiang to go first.
Her attitude made people hesitate. Could it be that the alchemy furnace was really hers?
Chu Xiang smiled slightly and took out a pen and paper to write a few lines. "Miss Zhou, why don't you write down what you know. The alchemy furnace was taken by you. You should have checked it carefully, right?"
"This alchemy furnace was given to me by my aunt. Don't talk nonsense!" Zhou Xinlian snorted and also wrote down the characteristics of the alchemy furnace.
The manager, Young Master Li, and Young Master Liu saw it and were a little surprised. Because the content that Chu Xiang wrote included the content that Zhou Xinlian wrote. Zhou Xinlian's writing was less than Chu Xiang's.
They signaled for the crowd to be quiet. With their backs facing Chu Xiang and Zhou Xinlian, they showed the two pieces of paper to the crowd. Then, they showed the two characteristics that Zhou Xinlian and Chu Xiang wrote down and found on the alchemy furnace.
Zhou Xinlian's face darkened. "What do you mean? She can't know these. "
Young Master Li sneered impolitely. "Why, Miss Zhou, are you suspecting that we are biased towards Young Master Lin? Everyone saw that what you wrote, Young Master Lin wrote it all. "
Zhou Xinlian's eyes widened. "Impossible! How is this possible?! "
Young Master Liu looked at the words that Chu Xiang wrote and smiled. "Why is it impossible? Young Master Lin's alchemy furnace has a word near the mouth. Do you know about this? "
Zhou Xinlian's mind went blank. Near the mouth of the furnace? Wasn't that the position where the lid was facing down when it was opened? She had never noticed it. In fact, after she got this top grade alchemy furnace, she looked outside happily. Later on, she only used it to refine pills and did not check it carefully. It was her own thing and not her life artifact. Who would check it carefully bit by bit?
Seeing that she was speechless, the crowd immediately kicked up a fuss and called her at once. Zhou Xinlian really did not know. She forced herself to guess. "Is it a word 'Chu' or 'Xiang'? After so many years, I can't remember clearly. It was just something that we sisters played around with back then. I'm afraid it's already worn away by now. "
She had never heard of the reclusive Lin Clan in the Chu Clan. She didn't believe that this alchemy furnace belonged to the Lin Clan. Otherwise, why would Mother Chu give this alchemy furnace to her? It wasn't like the Chu Clan didn't have other alchemy furnaces. Therefore, Zhou Xinlian still had some confidence. If there were words on that spot, it definitely wasn't left by Chu Xiang's parents. Perhaps it was Chu Xiang who did it. Guessing that it was "Chu" and "Xiang" was naturally appropriate. If there were no words, it was just a bluff. Even if it was smoothed out, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Zhou Xinlian had always been proud of using words to mislead others. She looked at Chu Xiang and waited for Chu Xiang to make a fool of herself.
However, Chu Xiang only smiled. She even took out a soft chair and sat down leisurely. The manager repeatedly asked Zhou Xinlian if she was sure of her own method. Zhou Xinlian didn't have any other ability and nodded stiffly. Looking at Chu Xiang's appearance, he had a bad premonition.
Chu Xiang said, "Right now, what everyone lacks the least is a Shadow Recording Stone. Throw a Shadow Recording Stone in and let everyone see the image. Whether it was me who was tyrannical or Miss Zhou who took over my family's property, we'll know with one look."
The three words "Shadow Recording Stone" and Zhou Xinlian who was standing there appeared at the same time. In an instant, everyone's memories were brought back to that night. Zhou Xinlian had changed her clothes and was panting. Her beautiful body was faintly discernible behind the gauze curtain. Some men's gazes changed when they looked at her.
Zhou Xinlian almost vomited. Her face turned pale. The manager had already placed a Shadow Recording Stone in the alchemy furnace. The image projected by the Shadow Recording Stone could clearly be seen. There was a crooked "Lin" word carved on the side of the alchemy furnace!
Everyone was in an uproar. This alchemy furnace really belonged to the Lin family! Among them, Lin Mu had never used his power to bully others. How could he deliberately make things difficult for Zhou Xinlian today? So it was really Zhou Xinlian who stole the alchemy furnace that belonged to the Lin family. Or, Zhou Xinlian took advantage of the fact that outsiders didn't know the inside story and embezzled a lot of the Chu family's treasures.
Fortunately, Zhou Xinlian still had an innocent look on her face. They all believed her just now. This woman was really born to be a liar. Maybe she inherited it from the Zhou family. Otherwise, how could Zhou Xinlian and Zhou Yufeng be so disgusting?
Zhou Xinlian did have a clear conscience before, but her performance was the most deceitful. Seeing with one's own eyes would always leave a deeper impression than images and rumors. At this time, everyone's impression of Zhou Xinlian couldn't be worse. Mortals also had to abide by certain rules. Brutal things like killing people and seizing treasures couldn't be done openly. Otherwise, if everyone's character was bad, wouldn't the cultivation world become chaotic?
Zhou Xinlian was first exposed for bullying her cousin and having an affair with her cousin's fiancé. Then, it was confirmed that she had embezzled the Chu family's treasures. Her reputation in the cultivation world was already terrible.
Gossipers always liked to watch a good show. Soon, someone clamored for Zhou Xinlian to hand over the Chu family's treasures. They wanted to seek justice for the Chu family.
They didn't know how to deal with the treasures, but at least they couldn't let this woman have them!
Zhou Xinlian's face was pale. She grabbed the alchemy furnace and looked at it in disbelief. There was really a word "Lin" on it. Although it was crooked and ugly, it really was there. This alchemy furnace belonged to the Lin family! She suddenly hated Chu Mochen's mother. She gave her an alchemy furnace that was left behind by someone else. What was Chu Mochen's mother thinking?
Chu Xiang looked at her with a smile that wasn't a smile. "Miss Zhou, the Chu Clan and my Lin Clan are old friends. My clan sent me out to investigate the matter of the Chu Clan's destruction. I will investigate whether Uncle Chu and Aunt Chu were killed by you. However, based on the fact that you humiliated Chu Xiang, I'm afraid that you won't be allowed to leave a single spirit stone behind from the Chu Clan. Will you hand it over yourself or let me take it? "
Everyone suddenly understood and felt that everything seemed to have an explanation. Why did the hermit family suddenly appear now when they had never appeared before? Counting the days, it was indeed not long after the Chu family's accident. If the Chu family and the Lin family were old friends, Lin Mu's special trip to investigate this matter could be explained.
Zhou Xinlian also panicked. Only she knew what she had done, but Lin Mu's strength was beyond her imagination. What if he could find out that she had killed Chu Mochen's parents?
And her things, she only had a few precious magic tools left. She couldn't let them be robbed. She took a few steps back vigilantly and said angrily, "This is all your side of the story. If you really want to investigate the Chu family, why didn't you go to the imperial city? Why did you stay in Haicheng for so long?"
Chu Xiang said matter-of-factly, "Isn't the imperial city already controlled by the Wei family? What can we find? Before, so many cultivators went to the imperial city to ask the Wei family for the law, but they didn't find anything. Who knows if the Wei family erased all the traces in the name of investigation? As for why I'm in Haicheng, well, aren't you all here? What do you think? You and Wei Lingxiao are nothing in Haicheng, right? Without the support of your family, you're just two good-for-nothings.
Also, I have a good relationship with the Chu family. This is not just a one-sided story. "
She took out a sound-transmitting paper crane. The paper crane flapped its wings, and the gentle and kind voice of Chu Mochen's mother came out. "Mu 'er, you haven't been to the imperial city for many years. Xiang' er misses you very much. If you have time, why don't you come to the imperial city to relax? Xiang 'er's temper is a little soft. I hope you can teach her so that she won't be bullied by others. "
Chu Mochen's mother sighed, "I thought that since the family was connected by blood, they should be good friends. Who knew that they raised a mountain wolf? Mu 'er, you've been smart since you were a child. I won't hide it from you. Xiang' er's marriage with the son of the Wei family didn't work out, but the Wei family refused to cancel the marriage. I think it was because of the property left by the ancestors. I'm afraid that your uncle and I will confront the Wei family. I don't know what the result will be. If you receive this paper crane, you must help me take care of Xiang 'er. Thank you very much. "
Chu Xiang was a perfect dubber. She could even dub animation characters perfectly. Now she dubbers the voice of Chu Mochen's mother according to her memory, which was even more flawless. Hearing this, Zhou Xinlian's face lost its last trace of color. She even fell to the ground with a guilty conscience.
She didn't know that Chu Mochen's mother had found out about her and Wei Lingxiao in advance and called her a "mountain wolf". Then did Chu Mochen's mother also find out about her ambition and her disgust for Chu Xiang?
She suddenly didn't know whether she should be glad or not. She was glad that she poisoned Chu Mochen's parents unexpectedly. But she also felt that she didn't get anything by poisoning them. Not only did she not marry Wei Lingxiao, but she also didn't get the Chu family's property. All her actions were made public and she was reviled by thousands of people.
If she didn't do anything to them, she might have just been driven out of the Chu family. Outsiders wouldn't know about these things. She could still keep some property and follow Wei Lingxiao.
Even Zhou Xinlian couldn't tell whether it was real or fake, let alone others. Childe Li and Childe Liu, the sons of the two big families in the capital, proved that it was the voice of Chu Mochen's mother. Zhou Xinlian's "mountain wolf" was even more solid.
Moreover, the death of Chu Mochen's parents couldn't be separated from her. And the Wei family. The Wei family was shameless enough to refuse to cancel the marriage for the sake of money and treasure. Wasn't this bullying the Chu family? In the end, Chu Mochen's parents died as soon as they found out. If the Wei family had nothing to do with this, they wouldn't believe it even if they were beaten to death!
The whole scene was boiling. Some people spontaneously went forward to push Zhou Xinlian, snatched her storage ring and storage bag, and presented them to Chu Xiang.
Chu Xiang signaled the manager to take out the things inside and show them to everyone. She smiled faintly and said, "Today, I'll make the decision for the Chu family. I'll give the things here to everyone. Consider it fate that everyone witnessed this matter today. Those who didn't get the Chu family's things will each be given a bottle of top-grade Restorative Panacea. "
Chu Xiang waved her hand. The manager immediately threw all of Zhou Xinlian's things into the crowd. Some people with status stood in place reservedly, while some cultivators instantly began to snatch. However, everyone was here to watch, so the snatching naturally wasn't fierce. After confirming that something had been taken by someone, the surrounding people could only give up, no matter how unwilling they were.
Zhou Xinlian struggled and shouted, but she was restrained by two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. She looked on helplessly as the only things she had left were all gone. Chu Xiang also gave away top-grade Restorative Panacea to win people's hearts. If these benefits were given away, they would definitely help Chu Xiang in the future. What chance did she have to reverse her reputation?
There was only the alchemy furnace that belonged to the "Lin family" left on the table. This object carried the love of Chu Mochen's mother. Chu Xiang directly took out a treasured sword, which was a top-grade magic weapon. Just like the curtain hat, Chu Xiang directly smashed the alchemy furnace. Then, she raised the treasured sword, and the sword edge cut a two-inch long wound on Zhou Xinlian's face.
Zhou Xinlian screamed and raised her hand to cover her bleeding cheek. She looked at Chu Xiang with eyes full of hatred. However, without waiting for her to say anything, the manager had already ordered people to throw her out.
The Zhou family watched all of this from a teahouse not far away. Zhou Yufeng wanted to come out to help several times, but he was stopped by Madam He. Now, Lin Mu was in the limelight, and there was a hermit family behind him. They couldn't afford to offend him. It wasn't easy for her to get her son back from the army. What if something happened again?
However, when she saw Zhou Xinlian being thrown out, she ordered the guards to bring her back to the Zhou family. Didn't Lin Mu just now? Zhou Xinlian took away the Chu family's things. Lin Mu was young and ignorant, so he only took Zhou Xinlian's things. She thought too much. The Chu family had so many good things, so Zhou Xinlian must have hidden them somewhere. If they got them, the Zhou family might be able to reach a higher level.
Zhou Xinlian was taken back by the Zhou family with bad intentions. Luo Yu finally broke through, attracted a thunder tribulation, and successfully built her foundation!
Luo Yu opened her eyes, and the first thing she did was to happily hold Chu Xiang's hand. "Miss! I built my foundation! I did it! "
Chu Xiang nodded, pointed at the medicinal pills she hadn't put away, and said with a smile, "Well done. In the future, you'll have a deeper understanding of alchemy."
"It's all because Miss taught me well." Luo Yu happily put away the medicinal pills, and asked about Zhou Xinlian who disappeared. When she found out that everything was settled, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. She wanted to help Miss teach Zhou Xinlian a lesson, but she didn't expect that Miss would do it herself.
Chu Xiang felt that it was good. When she first transmigrated, the original owner was beaten to death, and Zhou Xinlian looked on arrogantly and indifferently. Now that their positions had changed, when her identity was exposed in the future, Zhou Xinlian would suffer even more.
In this alchemy competition, Luo Yu won first place without a doubt. The alchemist who helped Chu Xiang refine pills was driven away because of his selfishness. At this moment, his face was full of regret. If he knew that he could get such good guidance from Chu Xiang, he would have devoted all his efforts to helping Chu Xiang refine pills.
However, it was too late. Chu Xiang was surrounded by people now, and she even taught Luo Yu, an alchemist, so there was no place for him.
After the competition, there were a lot of things that people were talking about. The most surprising thing was that the hermit Lin Family and Chu Family had a good relationship. From the voice of Chu Mu's mother in the paper crane, it could be heard that Chu Mu's mother was very close to Lin Mu, as if he was her junior.
Many people lamented that the Chu Family was unlucky. Lin Mu came out a few days later, and the Chu Family was annihilated. Otherwise, with Lin Mu's talent, it would be hard to say whose family he would annihilate.
There was also the Wei Family. No matter how much they investigated the Chu Family, they couldn't find out anything. Perhaps, just like Lin Mu, the Wei Family was too powerful in the Imperial City.
Today, the Wei Family annihilated the Chu Family and embezzled their treasures. Would the Wei Family annihilate other families in the future? No one knew if they were the next family targeted by the Wei Family, so the families with some status were naturally vigilant against the Wei Family. It was really bad to annihilate a family. Now that the Wei Family was becoming more and more suspicious, people had to be vigilant.
Originally, not many people paid attention to this alchemy competition, but in the end, such a big thing happened. In addition to the Wei Family and the Zhou Family being despised, many people also had ideas about Zhou Xinlian. So many of the Chu Family's treasures were missing. If they caught Zhou Xinlian, would they be able to find those treasures?
