Chapter 792 Yuchi Chunlei: Surprised? Unexpected?
The treasure of Baiyu Tower was stolen.
This is an absolutely major event for the entire Taihang Academy.
They acted like gentlemen. When their guests were robbed in their home, as the host, they had to do something no matter what. That night, a large number of Confucian scholars from Taihang Academy went out to investigate clues and track down the magic weapon that no one knew who had stolen it and even what it was.
Naturally, all the disciples of Baiyu Tower also went out and began to check all suspicious persons.
Although the people being investigated had some complaints about this, they did not resist.
in contrast.
They are all quite cooperative.
After all, most of the people here are Confucian scholars from all over the country who have gone through untold hardships to get the opportunity to join the Taihang Academy. Since I didn't get it, I can naturally be a gentleman with an open mind and a clear conscience.
Even Xu Wanqing, who least wanted to interact with others, could be honest and frank:
"I didn't take anything."
"I've never been to the White Jade Courtyard before, and I don't even know where it is."
After a brief inquiry and confirming that the talisman in their hands did not detect that the other party was lying, the group breathed a sigh of relief. Someone asked, "Senior, if I remember correctly, there was a woman with you when you came here?"
"That's my senior sister."
"Then your senior sister today..."
"She has been busy with the academy assessment today."
"That's it..."
"You can rest assured that my senior sister wouldn't take other people's things at will. And as I just said, we didn't come to Taihang Academy to cause trouble. We will naturally abide by the rules. With our cultivation level, we don't have any indispensable magic weapons, and there is no need to steal here in Taihang Academy, under the teacher's nose."
She said this with such dignity that the group of great scholars and White Jade Tower disciples who came to inquire about her couldn't help but nod their heads. The other party was indeed frank. After checking the talisman that could detect lies, it didn't show that she was lying. The group finally nodded and said goodbye.
"Thank you for telling me the truth, I am sorry for bothering you. I will take my leave now."
A group of people came in a mighty procession, and now they are leaving in a mighty procession.
But when she saw them leave, Xu Wanqing's reaction was quite calm.
She truly has a clear conscience.
Because of the Taixu Wax Heart and the descendant of the Tantai clan, Xu Wanqing almost lived in seclusion in Taihang Academy and never had much contact with outsiders. She was only thinking about obtaining the entry qualification to the Canglong Secret Realm and the Canglong Key. As for other things, she had no intention of caring about them at all.
As for Yuchi Chunlei...
It is undeniable that Yuchi Chunlei is quite powerful and even often does some shocking things. She might really have committed theft in Taihang Academy.
but……
It's not that Xu Wanqing looked down on her. As for Yuchi Chunlei's ability, she didn't deny that Yuchi Chunlei might really do such a thing, but with her intelligence, it was absolutely impossible for her to steal things from Baiyu Tower quietly and leave no clues, so that so many people were needed to investigate everywhere.
This ability is not something that someone as stupid as Yuchi Chunlei can do.
Because of this, she could give Yuchi Chunlei her guarantee directly and openly.
But when Xu Wanqing was thinking about this, she saw Yuchi Chunlei's figure suddenly squeeze in from outside the door, and then said stealthily:
"Junior brother!"
"Xiao Qing!"
"Quick, activate the formation quickly, I can't hold it back anymore!"
"Help me think of a solution!"
"quick!"
As Yuchi Chunlei spoke, she tremblingly took out an object wrapped in rich spiritual energy from her arms.
Looking closely, there is actually an inkstone made of white jade!
The inkstone was vibrating violently, as if it was being summoned by something, and was desperately hitting the spiritual shield, trying to break out.
Seeing this scene, Xu Wanqing felt her hands and feet go cold, her pupils dilated, and her face was filled with fear:
"you……"
"What are you doing?"
"Don't ask questions yet, just help!"
Yuchi Chunlei didn't bother to explain. She just kept pouring her cultivation into it. The powerful spiritual power at the peak of the Refining Void Realm was like a raging fire, corroding it in waves. However, this inkstone was obviously extraordinary. Even if she used all her cultivation, she still felt unable to suppress it.
"not good!"
"We can't go on like this!"
"Oh right, Tiankui blood! My Tiankui blood can warm up magical instruments and also soothe magical treasures to a certain extent!"
Yuchi Chunlei gritted her teeth and then cut her wrists. Streams of blood glittered and flowed out. The scene looked extremely horrifying. At least when Yuchi Chunlei saw this scene, she couldn't help but tremble all over when she was imprisoned in the Tiangong Holy Land.
Fortunately, she did not forget that this was a critical moment. She suppressed her inner fear and, with the circulation of spiritual energy, these drops of Tiankui blood began to turn into a blood mold, wrapping the white jade inkstone.
In the blink of an eye.
The originally flawless white jade inkstone began to turn into a blood-colored inkstone, which looked creepy. However, the twinkling stars in the blood turned into pure power, constantly nourishing the white jade inkstone in front of him.
With this nourishment, the white jade inkstone, which had been struggling and trying to break through the obstruction, gradually calmed down and absorbed the Tiankui blood, which was extremely precious to the magic weapon, in big gulps.
It's been quieted down for the time being.
"Phew, fortunately, fortunately, it's still me. I'm smart at the critical moment!"
Yuchi Chunlei wiped the sweat off her face and turned to look. She saw her junior brother still standing there at a loss. "Xiaoqing, don't just stand there. Quickly activate the formation. Although my Tiankui blood can suppress this thing for a short time, it needs constant blood supply. It's still very dangerous now. Don't let anyone see you."
These words brought Xu Wanqing back to her senses. She felt a chill on her back. She swallowed hard and asked with difficulty, "You...really...really, you stole the treasure from the White Jade Tower?"
"Of course it's me, isn't it awesome?"
Yuchi Chunlei chuckled: "Are you surprised? Are you delighted? Didn't you expect that there are times when I, Senior Sister, can be relied upon?"
Xu Wanqing shuddered.
The shock is real.
There is no joy at all.
My limbs are cold and my heart is cold.
Maybe in the next moment, heart-wrenching pain will come!
"Senior Sister...you...you are not doing this right." Xu Wanqing said with all her might, "We shouldn't do such things. Stealing other people's things is wrong. How about we return them?"
"That won't work. If I go back, wouldn't all my efforts be in vain?" Yuchi Chunlei quickly shook her head: "Xiaoqing, you don't know, that Gu Ping'an is simply a profiteer..."
Yuchi Chunlei explained to Xu Wanqing her purpose of stealing the white jade inkstone.
Say something.
If it were in the past, Xu Wanqing would have probably given a thumbs up and praised her senior sister for being reliable, being able to deal with people and negotiate independently, and even being able to find solutions on her own when encountering difficulties, and stealing magic weapons to solve problems without anyone noticing. This is no longer growth.
This is simply evolution!
The evolution of the second senior sister Yuchi Chunlei!
but……
The situation now is different!!!
"Senior Sister, stealing is wrong. No matter what the reason is, we shouldn't do such a thing. At most, we can just seize an opportunity to enter the Canglong Secret Realm. It would be great if we have the Canglong Key, but if we don't have it, there are actually other ways. At most, we can wait until we enter the Canglong Secret Realm and then act accordingly..."
"Take my advice and return the things right now. We can't do this!"
At this moment, Xu Wanqing was full of righteousness, as if she had become a model of morality in the world. She tried her best to persuade others, and...
It's just a pity that Yuchi Chunlei shook her head directly: "No, no, I know you have a kind heart, but special cases require special treatment. I stole it, so there's no reason to return it. Anyway, as long as this matter is not discovered, no one can find fault with us."
"But didn't you say before that you would listen to me in everything?" Xu Wanqing was still trying to persuade her.
Yuchi Chunlei shook her head and tried to persuade him earnestly, "I will certainly listen to you, but Junior Brother, sometimes you can be too upright, even a little rigid. We can't be completely inflexible, don't you agree?"
"But this is wrong." Xu Wanqing did not give up.
Yuchi Chunlei still insisted: "No, no, I've already stolen it, how can I give it back? Besides, I was lucky to steal it before. Now even if I want to return it without anyone noticing, I can't do it. If I really return it, I will definitely be caught red-handed, and the academy may even directly revoke my qualification to enter the Canglong Secret Realm. Wouldn't that be the end of it?"
"But……"
Xu Wanqing was about to say something else, but Yuchi Chunlei asked first, "Xiaoqing, are you going to force me to do something I don't want to do?"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Wanqing really shut up.
Taixu Wax Heart doesn't reason with you. It's right to persuade others to be good, but it's wrong to force them to do so. Just like when Yuchi Chunlei stole something, she was right to persuade him to surrender and return the magic weapon. But if he got impatient and acted like she was forcing him, then she would be punished.
Seeing her shut up, Yuchi Chunlei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't know the problem with her "junior brother", but after interacting with him for the past few days, she found that as long as she spoke a little more seriously, his brother would give her some leeway, just like now.
It can also give me some peace and quiet.
But just as she relaxed, Xu Wanqing spoke again:
"Senior Sister, I don't want to force you, but this is an academy. It has a righteous spirit and a master in charge. What's more, the theft happened in the White Jade Building, which is the most skilled in talismans. If you leave even the slightest clue, you will be discovered and tracked down, and the situation will be even worse."
Yuchi Chunlei did accidentally hit Xu Wanqing's soft spot, but this time the situation was not that simple.
Forcing others to do something will result in punishment.
If you condone your own people to commit theft, or even cover up the truth afterwards, the punishment will only be more terrible!
Although I haven't been punished yet, that's only because I haven't encountered anyone from Baiyu Tower investigating me, nor have I encountered anyone from Taihang Academy coming to question me.
She had to continue persuading and couldn't force her demands, so she changed direction.
Both coaxing and scaring!
only……
"Xiaoqing, if you want to say something else, I really can't help you, but if you want to say this, then you can just put your heart back in your stomach. Although I am not smart enough, this time, I did it perfectly. I can guarantee that no one will be able to find out that it was me who took it!" Yuchi Chunlei laughed.
Xu Wanqing was suspicious: "You? Perfect?"
"Of course!" Yuchi Chunlei smiled proudly and told Xu Wanqing what had happened.
She did have her eyes on the treasures in Baiyu Tower, did go to Baiyu Courtyard, and even personally took the Baiyu Inkstone into her own hands.
But something happened along the way.
Although she was stupid, she knew how risky it was to steal in the academy, so she had been squatting outside the White Jade Courtyard and did not act rashly. Instead, she was looking for an opportunity. However, she did not expect that the people in the White Jade Courtyard would suddenly, as if attracted by something, sit cross-legged one by one and start practicing.
"From what they are saying, it seems like something happened to the Dao rhyme of heaven and earth. They have become very active and we should seize the opportunity to practice." Yuchi Chunlei said.
Xu Wanqing was puzzled: "So you took advantage of their training opportunity to steal the White Jade Inkstone?"
"Of course not." Yuchi Chunlei shook her head. "This group of people are very cautious. Even when they are practicing, they never leave the white jade inkstone. I wanted to take a risk and did take action, but when I reached the door, I found that there was a very powerful formation in the room. There was no way to break it quietly in such a short time."
"Then you..." Xu Wanqing's face was full of confusion.
"I was about to give up at that time. After all, I was still short of a heavenly magic weapon, but I couldn't be caught red-handed. So I tried to break the formation, and when I found that I couldn't do it in a short time, I was ready to turn around and leave. But I didn't expect that something would happen after I turned around."
"what's up?"
"The people inside suddenly seemed to have their souls sealed off and turned into zombies. They actually took the initiative to help me open the formation!"
"What???" Xu Wanqing widened her eyes in disbelief.
Yuchi Chunlei shook her head:
"I don't know what happened either. Their eyes glowed with gold, as if they had become completely different people. They opened the formation for me without hesitation, and then stood there motionless."
"Then I tried it, and it was like they couldn't see me."
"Then I walked in openly and took the white jade inkstone. I didn't leave immediately, and I also cleaned up all the traces I left behind before walking out."
"Strangely enough, as soon as I walked out, those people returned to normal and continued practicing."
"..."
Yuchi Chunlei was still talking, and what followed was naturally to trap Bai Yuyan and avoid the investigation of Baiyu Tower and Taihang Academy. Xu Wanqing, who was listening to her, was now in endless confusion.
This is……
what happened?
How could such a thing happen?
Eyes glowing with gold... motionless... like a puppet...
After a moment of contemplation, Xu Wanqing suddenly widened her eyes, her pupils shrinking at that moment: "When those people stood still, did they still have talismans on their bodies?"
"Huh?" Yuchi Chunlei was surprised: "How did you know?"
Xu Wanqing didn't answer, but just asked: "Do you remember what the talisman looks like? Write it down for me to see!"
Although Yuchi Chunlei felt strange, she still did as she was told and immediately drew a talisman.
This symbol looks like a text from ancient times.
Very simple and quaint.
At least Yuchi Chunlei couldn't understand what this talisman was, but the moment Xu Wanqing saw it, her expression completely changed:
"People from the academy..."
"Help you steal the magic weapon from the White Jade Tower?"
"That……"
"Who helped you?"
"What is that person's purpose?"
