However, both of them had somewhat complicated expressions in their eyes.
Ye Lingxuan took out a delicate little wooden box, took out a pill from it and handed it to Bai Ruoxi, saying, "Sister Bai, this is a Rejuvenation Pill. Take it first; it will help you recover your spiritual energy faster."
Bai Ruoxi slightly raised her head, looking at the fresh and elegant girl, and at the sincere concern in her eyes. She reached out and took the pills the girl offered, saying in a soft and pleasant voice, "Thank you, little sister."
Ye Lingxuan simply smiled slightly.
It's great that everyone's relationship is starting to get better... Mu Zhian looked at this scene with great satisfaction.
Ye Qian suddenly asked softly, "Brother Mu, can the Qi Observation Technique really find out who framed Sister Bai?"
Mu Zhian regained his senses slightly, looked up at the disciples in the distance who were being examined one by one by the Qi Observation Technique, and said softly, "The Qi Observation Technique will most likely not be able to find any results."
"If the other party had any sense, they should have considered the possibility of the Qi Observation Technique."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ruoxi slightly turned her head to look at Mu Zhian and said, "In that case, this Qi Observation Technique..."
Mu Zhian seemed to know what she wanted to ask, and silently looked at the crowd in the distance, his gaze falling on a certain person.
"While the Qi Observation Technique cannot identify the true culprit, once we know who the culprit is, there are many ways to bring them to justice."
……
"next."
Yi Hao spoke again indifferently, looking at the disciples of the sect, his brows furrowing involuntarily.
Even he had realized the problem by now.
Among the people present, it is very likely that the real culprit who framed Bai Ruoxi is not among them!
Or perhaps, the person who secretly sabotaged Bai Ruoxi's tribulation was among them, but they may have already devised a way to counter the Qi Observation Technique.
If we let them get away like this... they might do something similar again next time.
Ren Kaitai, who was standing to the side, also realized this, which made his expression more solemn.
At that moment, Yi Hao suddenly heard a voice transmission in his ear.
As the voice faded, the middle-aged cultivator paused for a moment, glancing subtly at Mu Zhi'an, who had sent him the telepathic message.
After a moment's hesitation, he nodded slightly and then looked away.
"next."
As Yi Hao's indifferent voice fell, another sect disciple stepped forward.
Ye Yu.
"Did you tamper with your fellow disciple Bai Ruoxi's tribulation this time?" Yi Hao asked, his eyes turning a dazzling gold as the already burning talisman appeared.
At that moment, the energy within Ye Yu's body also came into his field of vision.
If Ye Yu lies, the energy within his body will turn slightly black.
However, this was of no use to Ye Yu, since he had a clear conscience.
At least this matter has nothing to do with him.
Ye Yu opened his mouth slightly, about to speak.
"Wait first!"
At this moment, Mu Zhian suddenly stood up, and his voice attracted the attention of others.
Ye Yu frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Young Master Mu, the three chiefs are currently investigating the person who framed Miss Bai. What brings you here at this time?"
“Miss Bai is one of the most important people in my life. The fact that she is facing the Eightfold Tribulation must be due to someone’s sabotage.”
Mu Zhian paused, looked around, and continued, "Since the other party dared to do this, they have likely already prepared for the Qi Observation Technique."
Ren Kaitai and Ning Shuwen, the two leaders of Huabao Peak, nodded without changing their expressions, clearly agreeing with what Mu Zhian said.
"From what Young Master Mu is saying, is there some way to find the person who framed him?" Ye Yu stared intently at Mu Zhi'an, his eyes filled with a hint of sarcasm.
If even the sect leader can't do anything about it, what can a mere junior cultivator like you who has just entered the sect do?
However, just as he was thinking this, he heard Mu Zhian say calmly:
“That’s right, I have a way to find the person who framed Miss Bai.”
These words immediately caused a slight commotion.
Ye Yu frowned slightly, unsure of what tricks Mu Zhian was up to.
Under everyone's gaze, Mu Zhian walked up to the three chiefs and respectfully handed them a round, lustrous pill.
"Three chief disciples, this is the Returning Origin Pill. Anyone who takes this pill will have all their talismans and secret techniques temporarily rendered ineffective for a period of time."
Mu Zhian looked up at Ye Yu and smiled, "Young Master Ye, would you mind taking this pill before answering the questions?"
Ye Yu frowned slightly and said, "How come I've never heard of a pill like the Guiyuan Pill before?"
"There are thousands of kinds of pills in this world. May I ask if Young Master Ye is a master alchemist who is familiar with all of them?" Mu Zhian asked with a smile.
Ye Yu's voice paused for a moment.
There are many prescriptions in this world that even many alchemists may not know in their lifetime. How could someone who has only recently become an alchemist dare to say that he knows all kinds of pills?
But in front of his two younger sisters, Ye Yu was unwilling to lose face, so he said coldly, "Speaking of which, although I don't know the recipe for this pill, now that I think about it, I have heard of its effects before."
“After all, Young Master Ye is an alchemist,” Mu Zhian said with a smile.
Ye Yu glanced at Mu Zhian in surprise, seemingly not expecting this spoiled brat to praise him.
He glanced casually at Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian, who were sitting on the stone bench with Bai Ruoxi not far away, but the sisters' eyes never left Mu Zhian.
Ye Yu's recent pleasant mood instantly vanished. He withdrew his gaze and said coldly, "I know the effects of the Guiyuan Pill, but how can I know if you've tampered with it?"
Mu Zhian smiled faintly, "Even if I were bold, I would never tamper with it in front of the three chiefs. If you don't believe me, you can have them check it first before you take it."
Upon hearing this, Yi Hao raised his hand and grabbed the pill. After glancing at it, his eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at Mu Zhian with surprise.
The two leaders of Huabao Peak beside them also glanced at the 'Returning Origin Pill' floating in mid-air for a few moments, then exchanged a look before silently withdrawing their gazes.
"There's nothing wrong with this pill; it won't harm you in any way," Yi Hao said.
Despite his reluctance, Ye Yu had no choice but to accept the pill and swallow it since even the chief had said so.
After waiting a while, Yi Hao took out another talisman, burned it, and with the enhancement of his Qi Observation Technique, stared into Ye Yu's eyes and asked, "Did you tamper with Bai Ruoxi's tribulation today?"
"No," Ye Yu replied, shaking his head frankly.
The aura-observation technique still couldn't find any problems.
"Is this alright?" Ye Yu looked at Mu Zhian and asked in a deep voice.
"enough."
Mu Zhian smiled, and then his gaze fell on the handsome young man in the crowd who was wearing a four-clawed python robe.
"Third Prince, it's your turn."
At this point, Mu Zhian took out another identical Guiyuan Pill.
A flicker of panic crossed the Third Prince's eyes, and his palm, hidden in his sleeve, clenched quietly.
He panicked.
This self-righteous third prince thought he was well prepared, even prepared to block the Qi Observation Technique, but he never expected that Mu Zhian would have a pill that could break the technique!
Seeing that the Third Prince had not stepped forward, Yi Hao frowned slightly and said solemnly, "Ning Long, what are you still standing there for?"
A murmur rippled through the crowd below the stage, clearly indicating that the Third Prince's delay in stepping forward for the aura-gazing examination had aroused suspicion.
Hearing these whispers, the Third Prince snapped out of his daze and stared intently in Mu Zhi'an's direction.
It's him again... it's Mu Zhi'an again!
If it weren't for Mu Zhian, even the chief wouldn't have been able to find out who was behind this plan. After all, there were so many people in front of the pilgrimage hall just now; even if they wanted to investigate, they wouldn't have been able to find out.
But now...
With just one Guiyuan Pill, the situation was completely reversed!
Ning Shuwen frowned, staring at the ashen-faced Third Prince, and said in a cold voice, "Ning Long, what are you still daydreaming about?"
Seeing that the Third Prince had not moved an inch and was staring intently at Mu Zhi'an with a grim expression, the three chief ministers already had their answer.
"Mu Zhi'an!" The Third Prince suddenly raised his head and glared at Mu Zhi'an, who was standing in the distance, his eyes filled with intense hatred.
Yi Hao's eyes turned cold, and he said in a chilling voice, "This case is egregious, and I will personally take you to the Enforcement Hall!"
Sending a disciple to the Hall of Enforcement is tantamount to declaring the end of that disciple's career in the sect. Moreover, there will be various accountability measures during this period, which can be considered a very severe punishment.
Yi Hao waved his hand and took the Third Prince away.
Mu Zhian watched this scene and quietly withdrew his gaze.
He didn't say another word from beginning to end, because there was no need to.
Yi Hao will handle everything.
After all, the Ascension Ceremony is just a few months away.
At that time, Bai Ruoxi would be a very important factor for Canghai Peak, which had always been ranked at the bottom, to stand out.
This time, Bai Ruoxi was framed... It's easy to imagine how angry Yi Hao must be.
Mu Zhian withdrew his gaze, turned around and clasped his hands in a fist salute to the many disciples of the sect present, saying, "I am truly sorry for causing you all a lot of trouble this time. If you need anything in the future, please let me know, and I will do my best to help."
Even though they knew it was just empty talk, his gentle and humble attitude still made many people feel more favorably toward this newly joined disciple, so they all clasped their hands in response.
As the sect disciples departed, Mu Zhian returned to the stone chair, looked at Bai Ruoxi beside him, and asked with concern, "Can you still walk now?"
Bai Ruoxi nodded slightly, her complexion having recovered somewhat, and her pale face now had a faint rosy glow: "No problem... it just takes a day or two for my spiritual energy to be fully replenished."
Why would it take a day or two... Mu Zhian glanced at Bai Ruoxi intentionally or unintentionally, and then quickly looked away.
After all, the Ye sisters are still here, so we should be a little more reserved.
"Every time I encounter trouble, it's Mu Lang who helps me. I'm so sorry to have troubled you again..." Bai Ruoxi's tone was full of apology.
Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled, "There's no need to say such things about our relationship."
"You just need to focus on your cultivation; leave everything else to me."
As he spoke, he looked at Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian and said softly, "You two too, if you have any trouble, your brother Mu will help you solve it."
