Seeing more than a dozen Law Enforcement Hall disciples surrounding the courtyard, Shaang Ni's heart sank, and his ears suddenly moved, as he heard Zhou Tie and the disciples he had seen talking behind each other's back in a pavilion not too far away, Liu Tie carefully listened, and his heart trembled. He whispered a few words into Xue'er's ears, and then quickly rushed into the courtyard, just in time to see Soong Ming and Fatty Zhou confronting the Law Enforcement Hall.
"Big brother Soong Ming, what's going on?" Shaang Ni had already walked into the yard. When he saw Soong Ming's angry look, he pretended not to know what was going on. He was most afraid that Fatty Zhou didn't destroy those things that day. If that happened, it would be really bad.
"Young Lord, they accuse you of being a wild demon who stole underwear recently appeared. They said that someone saw it, but the person who saw it did not dare to stand up and speak!" Of course, Soong Ming knew that this was related to Fatty Zhou. However, he could not say that Fatty Zhou lived with them. If it was made public, it would be hard for them to explain themselves.
"Senior brothers in Law Enforcement Hall, I think you have misunderstood. I have been cultivating in the courtyard for the past month and have never left, how did I become a wild demon that steals underwear!" Shaang Ni explained. He was more clear about the consequences and naturally wouldn't tell the truth.
"I saw it with my own eyes, do you still deny it?" It was the day he went to the Scripture Hall and saw the disciple that followed behind Chen Lan. His heart sank as he thought to himself that it was indeed Chen Lan. He really didn't want to give up!
"Oh, then tell me, when did you see me?" He knew that today's matter was not going to be easy.
"On the night half a month ago, I saw you sneaking around with my own eyes and appeared at the female disciple's residence to steal her personal clothes!" The disciple said in a clear voice, afraid that the surrounding disciples would not be able to hear him.
"Half a month ago? Then why did you come to report it only now? " Shaang Ni asked, making the disciple speechless for a moment.
"Hmph, sharp-tongued! I was delayed because of some matters. Don't even think about denying it. Just let the senior brothers from the Law Enforcement Hall search you and you'll know the result!" He sneered in his heart. In fact, two days ago, he had heard from a disciple that a fat man had stolen the clothes of a female disciple. He immediately thought of Fatty Zhou, who was next to Shaang Ni.
These two days, he had spread the news everywhere that it was Shaang Ni who ordered Fatty Zhou to steal it. Regardless of whether it was true or not, he was prepared. As long as the enforcement team arrived today, he could make Shaang Ni lose his position.
"Do you mean to search? where's the written order from the Law Enforcement Hall Elder! " Shaang Ni said coldly.
"You're still trying to stall for time at this point? I think you're trying to stall for time so you can destroy the evidence. Fellow disciples, let's search this place together and expose the identity of this hypocrite!" After that, the disciple was about to rush into Shaang Ni's room.
"How dare you!" Shaang Ni had only recovered his sight a little more than a month ago, so even if he succeeded in condensing his Mind Image with his visualization technique, he would at most be at the first level of the Spirit Master level. Since he was already at the second level of the Martial Spirit realm, naturally, he would not be afraid of Shaang Ni and he also threw a punch towards Shaang Ni.
"If you make a move, it shows that you are guilty! This is just the right time for me to teach you a lesson! " The disciple shouted.
The moment his fist touched Shaang Ni's fist, a strong power immediately came over. He felt that Shaang Ni had also reached the second stage of the Wu Steel Sword, and his spiritual energy was unusually pure. This was Shaang Ni's full force attack.
"Ah!" With a scream, he retreated a few steps. He looked at Shaang Ni in fear. He had only opened his eyes for a little more than a month, yet he had already reached the second stage of Spiritual Disciple? He could not believe it!
Shaang Ni did not care that much, he just rushed forward and started to beat him up. The disciple who was beaten up by Shaang Ni had multiple bones broken, he could not even sit up, and just laid on the ground and kept on howling. Only then did the Law Enforcement Hall disciple finally react, and the person in the lead shouted: "Shaang Ni stop! If the sect makes a move to harm them, then take them down! "
"Who dares to be disrespectful to Young Lord!" When Soong Ming saw that the Law Enforcement Hall disciples were about to make a move against Shaang Ni, a completely spiritual energy exploded out, the release of spirit energy was a symbol of the Spirit Fusion Stage, as if as long as the law enforcement disciples made a move, he would immediately go berserk.
"Most of these items are from Master. Can you guys take responsibility for destroying them?" Shaang Ni said coldly. His words caused the law enforcement disciples to stare blankly. Only now did they remember Shaang Ni's identity. Although Sect Leader had passed away, he was Sect Leader of the past and could not be insulted.
"Aiya, Junior Brother Shang, I also didn't quite believe what I heard from an outsider, but your performance really disappointed me!" A voice rang out as Chen Lan walked into the courtyard.
"Brother Chen, save me. This Shaang Ni attacked me without any reason and injured me. You have to take responsibility for me!" The disciple whose whole body was fractured by Shaang Ni shouted weakly.
"Don't worry, since I have seen this, I will naturally give you justice. Brothers and sisters of the Law Enforcement Hall, go ahead and search. Junior brother Shaang Ni, don't tell me you have a guilty conscience! " Chen Lan said slowly.
"So it's senior brother Chen Lan again, why does senior brother like to fight against injustice so much now?" Shaang Ni said the last few words with a particularly heavy voice, making Chen Lan's face change.
"It's not that Junior has a guilty conscience, but that there are too many of Master's remnants here. I don't want them to be destroyed by anyone, and I don't want to have any Law Enforcement Hall elders' orders. Otherwise, no one can even think about searching!" Shaang Ni continued to speak, each word was like iron, causing the disciples of Law Enforcement Hall to not dare to move, if anything were to happen, it would be hard to explain at that time, and both sides would be in a deadlock.
"Who told you to tell me to come here?" What exactly happened here? " Just then, an old man walked in. He had eagle-like eyebrows and fierce eyes, his imposing manner was imposing, and it was the Great Clan Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall.
"Greetings, Martial Uncle Tianhu!" Shaang Ni cupped his fist and said. It was Shaang Ni who asked Xue'er to notify Law Enforcement Hall, Tianhu elder.
When I received the news, I received a report that Junior Brother Shaang Ni had ordered an outer sect disciple to steal some of the female disciples' clothes. I did not believe it and came here to take a look, but as soon as I arrived at Junior Brother Shaang Ni's courtyard, I saw that not only did Junior Brother Shang not allow me to search, he had also injured the person who reported this to me. Upon seeing that Elder Tianhu had arrived, Chen Lan quickly spoke up. Although his words were not meant to add fuel to the fire, the others still listened attentively and felt that there was a problem with Shaang Ni.
"Shaang Ni, is this really as Chen Lan said?" Elder Tianhu did not get angry and instead stared at Shaang Ni.
"Reporting to Martial Uncle, Martial Brother Chen Lan said that this disciple does not dare to speak carelessly. However, if this disciple has not done anything, then this disciple will not tolerate others slandering him!" Shaang Ni was very calm. Just now, he had quietly confirmed to Soong Ming that Fatty Zhou's things had been destroyed and that Fatty Zhou had not gone out during these two days.
"I don't believe Brother Ni would do such a thing!" Xue'er said anxiously.
"Xue'er, I didn't believe it at first, but what Junior Brother Shang did was unbelievable. You better be careful not to get tricked by his appearance!" When Chen Lan saw Xue'er, he turned to her and said in a slightly gentle tone, "Xue'er is here as well."
"Shaang Ni, then why don't you let us search?" Elder Tianhu ignored them and asked Shaang Ni.
"This disciple's residence has too many precious items of Master's. I'm afraid that Law Enforcement Hall disciples will damage it, and furthermore, they won't bring an elder's handwritten order. According to the rules, they can't be searched!" Shaang Ni answered.
"Now that I'm here, is it possible to search it?" Elder Tianhu asked.
"That's fine, big brother Soong Ming. Senior brothers with Law Enforcement Hall can search the area and don't let them destroy Master's treasure!" Shaang Ni said.
Soong Ming immediately brought along his Law Enforcement Hall disciples to search the room, because Shaang Ni said that most of the items here were "remnants". The Law Enforcement Hall disciples searched carefully, afraid that they would damage the remnants of Sect Leader, which were not something they could take responsibility for.
"How is it? Is senior brother Chen Lan satisfied? " Shaang Ni said lightly as he looked at Chen Lan.
"Hehe, since we can't find it, then it has nothing to do with junior. That's right, the evidence has probably been destroyed after such a long time! It's just that we're from the same sect who have worked hard for the Law Enforcement Hall, everyone, please go back! " Chen Lan also said lightly, but the phrase "the evidence has already been destroyed" was too vicious. Even if he did not find any evidence, it caused the other disciples to think about it.
"Senior Brother Chen, why did you let our Law Enforcement Hall's senior brother leave? Our Storage Ring has not been searched yet? Why don't we ask Martial Uncle Tian Hu to take a look? " After Shaang Ni finished speaking, he took the initiative to hand the Storage Ring over to Elder Tianhu, causing Chen Lan to be stunned. Soong Ming, Fatty Zhou and Shaang Ni handed over the Storage Bag.
"Hmm, there are indeed no female clothes. In that case, let's end today's matter here!" The Sky Tiger Elder Divine Sense swept through the few storage treasures, confirming that there were no female clothes attached to them. Just as he was about to end the matter here and stop the matter, Shaang Ni called for him to stop.
"Please wait, Martial Uncle Tianhu!"
"Oh, Shaang Ni, do you still have anything else to say?" Elder Tianhu asked in a puzzled manner. He had already confirmed Shaang Ni's innocence, but Shaang Ni still stopped him.
"Martial Uncle, even if we can't find any evidence, the matter today will still affect our reputation greatly …"
"Hmph, you still dare to speak of your reputation? Someone saw it with their own eyes and you even injured them. I truly wonder where you get the face to speak of your reputation!" Before Shaang Ni could finish his sentence, Chen Lan interrupted Shaang Ni and said with a cold sneer.
"Senior Brother Chen Lan, are you so sure that I've done such a thing? Or do you know something? " Shaang Ni didn't get angry even after he was interrupted. Instead, he coldly asked Chen Lan, causing Chen Lan's face to darken. Once again, he coldly snorted and no longer spoke.
"Then Shaang Ni, how do you want to deal with it? "Since you're already injured, I won't pursue this matter any further. Let's call it a day!" Elder Tianhu didn't want the matter to continue causing trouble so that it wouldn't get bigger and bigger.
