Chapter 342 Flawless (Bonus Chapter)
After finishing the drawing, Su Muyao looked at Yun Qinglan and asked, "You know her?"

Yun Qinglan said with a cold gaze, "I do recognize these people. This is Steward Shi, a first-class steward of the inner city. This is Elder Thirteen, and this is Leng Feng, the deputy captain of the guard team that is specifically responsible for protecting me..."

Yun Qinglan pointed out several people she recognized one by one.

Su Muyao's expression also turned serious. "This...they all want to harm you?"

"Didn't they say that all the spies from the Xuanyuan clan have been exposed and dealt with?"

"Moreover, doesn't the Xuanyuan clan value you highly? Why are there still people who want your life and want to ruin your reputation?"

At this moment, Su Muyao's voice was cold and her expression was serious and solemn.

If it really was a dream warning, Su Muyao was glad that such a warning could prevent danger from happening in advance.

Yun Qinglan's expression was also not good at this moment. He reached out and held Su Muyao's hand, comforting her, "Don't be angry."

"I think the spies from back then may have taken the opportunity to lie low."

"Or perhaps they saw that they couldn't destroy the Xuanyuan clan, so they decided to sacrifice some people to save others."

"This deputy captain, Leng Feng, was promoted because he killed several spies and enemies and made meritorious contributions. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be qualified to join the guard team."

"The inner city guard is composed of young orcs who have been loyal for generations."

"It's just that more than 20 years ago, the Xuanyuan clan's elite guards suffered countless casualties, and their numbers and strength were insufficient, so they had to relax the requirements and select from the outer city. Leng Feng was just an ordinary beastman at the time, and he was selected into the guard team because of his merits. Later, he gradually made merits and became the deputy captain."

After arriving at the Xuanyuan Clan, Yun Qinglan read through the detailed information of everyone around her.

Moreover, he has a photographic memory; once he sees something, he remembers it.

This includes each person's unique characteristics and traits.

"Leng Feng is a man of few words, steady in his work, never stands out or acts rashly, and does not form cliques. Everyone in the team has a very good impression of him."

"The captain had been injured during a hunt and almost died in a mutated beast horde attack. Leng Feng saved him. The team has great faith in Leng Feng's abilities, so after the captain stepped down, he became the captain."

"Moreover, the captain now entrusts him with many tasks within the guard team."

“If you hadn’t told me, I would never have doubted him.”

Of course, in Yun Qinglan's heart, the person he trusted most was Su Muyao, and no matter how good others were, they would be ranked last.

He tapped the table with his finger and pondered, "However, if someone's background, personality, and abilities are all too perfect, without any flaws, then there is indeed a problem."

"The team made sufficient preparations during the last hunting trip and should not have encountered a mutated beast tide, but we still did."

"He did nothing wrong."

“I could interrogate him using force, but if I did that, we would be at a disadvantage and wouldn’t be able to silence public opinion.”

He wasn't worried about his reputation, nor did he care whether he could become the young master of the Xuanyuan clan. What he was worried about was not being able to give Yao Yao everything she wanted.

They were also worried that it would affect her reputation.

Su Muyao smiled and said, "That's easy. He can use the beast tide to scheme against his captain, and we can also frame him."

"For example, embezzlement."

“The fact that Leng Feng had no weaknesses or preferences was enough to arouse suspicion. If people knew he was embezzling, they would find it perfectly reasonable.”

"Besides, your guard captain is about to retire. When the next person takes over as captain, I don't believe no one will have any designs on him."

Yun Qinglan smiled and said, "Yao Yao's idea is still the right one."

"Then what's the deal with this thirteenth elder?"

Yun Qinglan explained, "It's because many clan leaders died or were injured back then, and there weren't enough clan elders, so he was promoted. Usually, this thirteenth elder is like an invisible person and doesn't participate much in things. Because he's not strong enough, he just does some odd jobs."

"And this Steward Shi, he is the grandson of the Seventh Elder. The Seventh Elder sacrificed himself to protect the Xuanyuan Clan. Even in death, his branch of the clan still enjoys great prestige. So it won't be easy to touch Steward Shi."

Su Muyao said with a serious expression, "If this Steward Shi is really the Seventh Elder's grandson, he wouldn't cooperate with his enemy. Perhaps he has some secrets that the enemy has, or perhaps he is not the real Steward Shi."

After discussing the matter with Su Muyao, Yun Qinglan immediately summoned several trusted guards and ordered them to conduct a covert investigation. Su Muyao, no longer feeling sleepy, took out some medicine from her spatial storage and began preparing the prescription.

Su Muyao concocted some unique pills that could be used to interrogate these people and get them to tell the truth.

On her way to the Xuanyuan clan, she passed through some mountains and forests and picked up a lot of spiritual treasures and medicinal herbs.

Also, when I was with my master, he collected many ancient spiritual treasures and medicinal herbs. These herbs were very potent and could be used to make highly effective elixirs.

……

Yun Qinglan acted swiftly, and the next day she found an excuse to say that some things had been lost. Through interrogation, someone said that they had seen Leng Feng sneaking around hiding things recently. Leng Feng denied it, and Yun Qinglan immediately arranged for people to search his residence.

Sure enough, the search uncovered a considerable number of spirit stones and items that Yun Qinglan had lost.

Yun Qinglan immediately ordered Leng Feng to be arrested.

Leng Feng's expression changed drastically. He couldn't understand how things had turned out this way. He kept crying out that he was innocent and didn't understand who had framed him.

He has been lying low for so many years, his cover is flawless, and he can soon become the captain and carry out the tasks assigned to him by his master.

This mission is very important; once completed, he will be able to make a great contribution to the Hall of Light.

He would then have the opportunity to enter the inner palace, gain power and status, and cultivate the art of immortality.

"Young Master, I am innocent. Someone must have deliberately framed me and wronged me."

“I am utterly loyal to the young master. I would never embezzle these things, much less steal anything from the young master.”

Seeing that Leng Feng was no longer as calm and composed as usual, but had become flustered, Yun Qinglan smiled faintly and said, "Leng Feng, I want to believe you too, but this is the truth. Besides, you were the only one who came into my palace to report this morning."

"Take him away for questioning."

Leng Feng was sent to a special punishment hall for interrogation, and Yun Qinglan personally took charge of the interrogation.

At first, Leng Feng stubbornly refused to talk, even under various forms of torture.

Yun Qinglan said calmly, "Leng Feng, I didn't expect that you could withstand so many punishments."

"This makes me wonder if you have received special training."

Leng Feng's expression changed. Before he was sent here, he had indeed received various training and was able to withstand all kinds of moves.

Of these hundred orc spies, only one orc will survive.

He was the only orc to survive that group.

“Young Master, I don’t know what you’re doing. All I know is that I don’t admit to things I didn’t do.”

"Really? Then what did you say to Elder Thirteen in the middle of last month? Don't you remember? Do you want me to repeat it to you?"

When Yun Qinglan asked the question, she carefully observed Leng Feng's expression.

When the Thirteenth Elder was mentioned, his eyes changed slightly, and even though it was a very subtle change, Yun Qinglan noticed it.

His Yao Yao was right; they all did indeed have problems.

If it weren't for Yao Yao, both he and the Xuanyuan clan would have been in trouble on the day of the sacrifice.

These people are really good at hiding their true intentions.

Here's an extra chapter; I've updated three chapters today.

I do write quite slowly, and I'm sometimes busy in my daily life, so I haven't had time to interact with everyone. But I'm really grateful to all the lovely people who have supported me all this time. Thank you for always being here. Thank you to all the lovely people who like my book. Thank you for the memberships you've specially chosen to support me. Thank you for the monthly tickets, rewards, and recommendations you've given. And thank you to all the lovely people who have left comments to support me, discuss the plot, and encourage me. I've seen them all, and it warms my heart and touches my soul.

Sometimes I wish I could update more chapters every day, but sometimes I'm not in the right state of mind and can't write many words even when I'm sitting in front of the computer. But I will definitely make sure to update two chapters every day.

Of course, this book has been criticized by some readers from the very beginning, and it's still being criticized now. It's really impossible to please everyone. When I write about romance, some readers complain that I want to focus on the plot; when I write about the plot, some readers complain that I don't include romance. When Wen Nanxi and the others are with the female lead, some readers want to see something new. When they are no longer with the female lead, some readers complain that they don't appear. The plot is too fast, some readers complain that the pacing is too fast, and some readers complain that the writing is not detailed enough. If the plot is more detailed, some readers complain that it is too slow. I can only write according to the pacing and plot I set myself, otherwise it will be a mess. Sometimes I don't know how to respond to everyone because everyone's thoughts, preferences and opinions are different, but I am still grateful that everyone is willing to discuss the plot and support me. I love you all as always.

Sometimes when I feel that what everyone says makes a lot of sense, I will make minor adjustments based on their ideas, but I won't make major adjustments, because the whole thing needs to be coherent and interconnected.

I will keep working hard.
