Chapter 220 What can you do to me?

Shen Youqing looked at the piece of material, his expression remaining calm and composed.

The elders in the hall looked at Shen Youqing's calm and composed demeanor with admiration and curiosity.

"Shen Youqing, this snow silver silk with jacquard lotus pattern is irrefutable evidence against you. Aren't you afraid?" an elder asked in a stern voice.

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the hall froze for a moment.

Shen Youqing raised his hand in a gesture of respect, his slow and unhurried tone asking, "Why should I be afraid?"

First, she was confident that she could prove her innocence.

Secondly, even if she cannot prove her innocence for the time being, the Qingyu Sect would not dare to do anything to her.

“Tell me your reasons for not being afraid,” Meng Qinian said.

Shen Youqing glanced at Meng Qinian with a slightly complicated expression. "Elder Meng, what I said might not be very pleasant to hear. Are you sure?"

He wanted to hear just how unpleasant those words were!
Meng Qinian spoke up, "Speak."

Shen Quelin, who was on the same wavelength as Shen Youqing, couldn't help but tug at her sleeve, his eyes filled with pleading.

The Venerable Ones present are all renowned figures in their respective regions; she mustn't offend them all with just a few words!

Shen Youqing glanced at Shen Quelin, pulled out his sleeve and bowed, "First of all, the evidence brought back by the disciples of the Punishment Hall is enough to prove that I have no time to do evil. Secondly, there is no more evidence from the Medicine Peak."

Seeing the elders' questioning expressions, she continued, "Besides this piece of material and the injured disciple's testimony, is there any other evidence?"

Meng Qinian shook his head.

"Have you compared the traces left behind?" Shen Youqing asked unhurriedly. "Are there my footprints?"

Meng Qinian spoke up, "Due to the fight, the traces are in complete disarray, and we haven't been able to make any comparisons yet."

For some reason, his intuition told him that the final result of the trace comparison was no.

Shen Youqing glanced at the files on the table. "I've read all the files. I went to Medicine Peak to steal chickens and dogs purely for fun. Those disciples turned a blind eye to my behavior. What reason did I have to hurt people?"

Shen Qiuluo, who was standing to the side, lowered her eyes and listened quietly.

She's so eloquent!
"If you say I covet spiritual plants..." Shen Youqing couldn't help but laugh at this point, "Please allow me to say something you don't want to hear: those spiritual plants are not even worthy of being in the flower garden of my Changkang Garden."

Thinking of the extravagant Changkang Garden, a hint of jealousy flashed in Shen Qiuluo's eyes.

That courtyard was located in the area with the most abundant spiritual energy in the Shen family. The bricks, tiles, beams, and pillars were all made of luxurious materials, and countless exotic flowers and plants were planted inside.

The courtyard was originally intended for the young master, but something happened and it ended up being given to Shen Youqing.

"..." That's something I really don't like to hear.

Shen Quelin bowed and said, “What Shen Youqing said is true. Fellow Daoist Jiang and the other five have all been to Changkang Garden. Sect Leader Zhang and the elders can go and ask them.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Youli immediately used a sound transmission talisman to summon Jiang Chenying over.

“It’s dark, so the disciples’ accusations should be questioned. As for the fabric…” Shen Youqing spread his arms and twirled around, “This dress is intact. Does it look like it’s damaged?”

The skirt was intact, except for some grass juice stains on the back and hem.

"I have neither a motive nor any more irrefutable evidence." Shen Youqing shrugged. "What do I have to be afraid of?"

As expected of Shen Youqing, who can create the Spirit-Splitting Stone and cooperate to control the score to win first place, her brain never disappoints.

"Secondly..." Shen Youqing said politely, his hands folded in front of him, "Suppose, suppose it really was me, what can the Qingyu Sect do to me?"

"..."

I really don't like hearing that.

"Besides, I have a master." Shen Youqing straightened up. "My master is a powerful figure!"

Seeing the little girl acting all high and mighty, Hua Yuan's eyes immediately crinkled into a smile, looking at her with doting affection. She's so adorable!

Looking at the smug and proud Shen Youqing, Yue Xunzhu's eyes and brows softened considerably.

Jinjin is so cute.

Looking at the two despicable masters and disciples, Zhang Youli waved his hand, "You can shut up now."

Shen Youqing said "Oh" and silently stepped back to stand next to Shen Quelin.

"By the way, you and Xiao Ke skipped class yesterday. You drew eighty intermediate-level talismans, and he refined five batches of pills," Zhang Youli said authoritatively.

Shen Youqing's eyes widened slightly. "Wasn't it sixty before? Why is it going up again?"

"How can that be the same?" Zhang Youli said coldly. "If there's a next time, it'll be a hundred!"

"Oh!" Shen Youqing replied reluctantly.

Shen Quelin's lips curled up slightly, looking smug.

Shen Xingzhi silently raised her hand and patted Shen Youqing's shoulder.

Skipping class might feel great in the moment, but it'll lead to disaster afterwards!
"So, what exactly is going on with this fabric?" an elder asked, frowning. "Shen Youqing's dress wasn't damaged, and Shen Xingzhi's fabric hadn't been used. This fabric seems to have appeared out of thin air."

The elder's words immediately plunged everyone into deep thought.

Jiang Chenying arrived quickly. After Zhang Youli asked him questions, he glanced at Shen Youqing and, after receiving permission, briefly explained the situation at Changkang Garden.

After Jiang Chenying finished speaking, the elders understood.

"The Criminal Investigation Department will release the clues they have found so far later," Zhang Youli said, glancing at Hua Yuan beside him. "These clues are sufficient to prove Shen Youqing's innocence."

Hua Yuan nodded slightly.

After they came out of the punishment hall, Yue Xunzhu and the others, who had the sense to do so, went to wait to the side.

Hua Yuan reached out and cupped Shen Youqing's cheeks, gently rubbing them. "Poor little Youqing~ You've been wronged by a villain~"

Shen Youqing's eyebrows curved into a smile. "Thank you, Master!"

"Why are you being so polite?" Hua Yuan released his grip and flicked Shen Youqing's head with his finger. "You're my disciple, protecting you is what a master should do!"

Shen Youqing felt a warm glow in her heart, her curved eyebrows reflecting happiness.

"Although this matter isn't over yet, it has nothing to do with you." Hua Yuan patted Shen Youqing's head. "When something happens, you should learn to complain, understand?"

If it weren't for her senior brothers and sisters taking turns complaining, she wouldn't even know about this!

Shen Youqing nodded obediently.

Hua Yuan gave some earnest instructions before leaving.

After watching Hua Yuan leave, Shen Youqing's gaze fell on Shen Qiuluo, who came out of the punishment hall.

Seeing Shen Youqing looking over, Shen Qiulu raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she were asking her what was wrong, or as if she were provoking her.

Seeing her like this, Shen Youqing's eyebrows curved slightly, and he silently said, "You'd better hide your little tail well."

When Jiang Chenying came out, she saw Shen Qiu standing there alone, her slightly lowered eyebrows revealing a hint of resentment and humiliation. Behind her stood three people, with Shen Youqing, whose eyebrows were curved, looking both wicked and arrogant.

Just when Shen Qiulu thought her senior brother would stand up for her, Jiang Chenying raised his hand and said to Shen Youqing, "Please proceed with the punishment."

Seeing Shen Youqing's smile vanish instantly, Jiang Chenying coldly said, "If you draw the Turtle Bastard Talisman, the price will double."

Shen Youqing immediately became angry, "What did the intermediate-level firework talisman do to offend you?!"

"What kind of 'proper' firework talisman is it?" Jiang Chenying retorted, unmoved, "If your attitude is not sincere, the price should be doubled."
