C18 Planning to Kill the Wrong Person

Facing Xue Xiaoling's questioning, Lu Chen sighed and shook his head, "No one hit me. This injury... was caused by myself... I accidentally fell."

"You fell?"

Hearing this, Xue Xiaoling's fair and tender face immediately turned black. She said angrily, "Lu Chen, did you even think about it when you said that? You can't even find a better excuse to lie. You are insulting my intelligence!"

Lu Chen smiled helplessly. He also knew that this reason was unreasonable, but he really couldn't find a reasonable reason to explain the injuries on his body.

Could it be that he had to tell the truth?

He said that a black-robed woman had sneakily attacked him last night and knocked him out, then tied him up in the woodshed behind the cafeteria, in order to force him to tell him the method to restore the Magic Cube.

Then he said that he accidentally grabbed the woman's chest and was beaten up by her.

Hehe, this reason was obviously even more ridiculous!

No one would believe that there was a female arcane cultivator in the Azure Sect who was above the Qi Controlling Stage, and she would go to rob a newbie servant in the middle of the night just to learn the Magic Cube.

Lu Chen felt that if he were to say this reason, he would probably not even be able to get a leave of absence.

Furthermore, he felt that it was a bit embarrassing to say that he had been hit in the chest last night.

Furthermore, the black-robed woman's cultivation level was at least above the Qi Controlling Stage.

Most of the people in the Azure Sect who had such a cultivation were flamen. If there was no conclusive evidence, even Xue Xiaoling could not do anything to them.

Therefore, Lu Chen felt that he should bear with it for the time being and find a small notebook to record it down. When he became stronger in the future, he would have the chance to settle the score with her.

"Forget it, forget it. I appreciate your kindness, but don't worry about it!"

Lu Chen comforted Xue Xiaoling a few times. Seeing that she still looked angry, he was afraid that she would continue to ask, so he quickly changed the topic, "Oh right, it's so early in the morning, and I didn't step on your tail. Why are you so angry to look for me? You even kicked my door. You have to pay for it!"

"I'll pay for your head!"

It would have been fine if he didn't mention it, but the moment he mentioned it, Xue Xiaoling suddenly remembered that she came here to settle the score with Lu Chen, but she didn't expect that she would be distracted by his injuries.

Just as she was about to continue to fly into a rage, she saw a large crowd of servant disciples gathered at the door. Some of them were even bold enough to walk in and watch the show.

Xue Xiaoling was instantly enraged. She put her hands on her hips and pointed at them, shouting angrily, "What are you all looking at? It's so early in the morning, and the disciples of the Servants' Quarters are bored to death, right? Do you want me to find Wei Qianxian for you later?"

"No need! No need!"

"We have things to do, and we have to do the work of the servants."

"Get lost!"

The crowd of servants instantly dispersed like birds and beasts. They were afraid that Xue Xiaoling would really go to the front of Wei Qianxian and complain. At that time, everyone present would have to bear the consequences.

In an instant, all the onlookers had run away. Those who had run to the end even thought about Xue Xiaoling's feelings and closed the door for her.

"Lu Chen, you liar! How dare you lie to me! I'll strangle you to death!"

After everyone left, Xue Xiaoling jumped out of bed impatiently. Due to Lu Chen's injuries, she could not kill him. She could only reach out to pinch Lu Chen's neck and shook him crazily while cursing him angrily.

Not to mention the injuries on his body, even if he was not injured, Lu Chen was still no match for Xue Xiaoling, who was at the Qi Refining Realm. Being pinched like a puppet, he was almost shattered by this "violent auntie."

"Stop, stop... cough, cough... my aunt... cough, cough... you have to stop... at least... cough, cough... give me a reason... " Lu Chen wanted to cry but had no tears. He could only beg for mercy.

Xue Xiaoling became even angrier. She gnashed her teeth and said, "It's all because of you, liar! Back then, you promised me that the problem of the Magic Cube would definitely be difficult for Yanyan. But now, Yanyan has solved it and recreated the Magic Cube."

Lu Chen was shocked, "Really? Is there really such a powerful person in this world? It has only been three days, and she alone has no foundation. How could she deduce the way to recreate the Magic Cube so quickly? Is she a freak? "

"How can I lie to you? I just came back from Mount Elixir and saw with my own eyes that she had restored the Magic Cube. She was even faster than you!"

Xue Xiaoling became even angrier and unwilling to accept the truth. She pinched Lu Chen's neck and shook it violently. She said angrily, "It's all your fault. It's all your fault. Lu Chen, you big liar, return my Windweaving."

"Damn it, is Yan Qingmeng's IQ really that terrifying? It's only been three days, there is no reason!"

Lu Chen was depressed to death. In a situation where he was in the wrong, he was too embarrassed to stop Xue Xiaoling from shaking and torturing him. He could only let her do whatever she wanted.

However, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. He suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility. He could not help but shout, "I understand now. So it was her who did it!"

Lu Chen suddenly went berserk. He gritted his teeth and looked fierce. Xue Xiaoling was shocked by him again. She quickly let go and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Lu Chen took a deep breath and slowly told her about what happened yesterday when he was knocked out and forced to tell her the method to restore the Magic Cube.

Of course, he changed the part about being attacked in the chest. He changed it to saying that he was unyielding and determined not to reveal the method to restore the Magic Cube. Then, the black-robed woman beat him up until he was threatened with his life. Then, he had no choice but to tell her the method to restore the Magic cube.

"You're saying that someone kidnapped you in the middle of the night to learn the method to restore the Magic Cube and even interrogated you with torture? Moreover, that was a young woman with the smell of medicinal herbs on her body. Her cultivation was above the Qi Controlling Stage?"

Xue Xiaoling looked at Lu Chen as if she was looking at an idiot. She obviously did not believe this story and thought that Lu Chen was just bluffing her. How could there be such a strange thing in the world? Unless that person was crazy.

Lu Chen became anxious and swore, "Xue Xiaoling, do you think I have the need to lie to you? I just didn't tell you the truth because I didn't think you would believe me."

Seeing that Lu Chen was speaking the truth, Xue Xiaoling could not help but believe him a little bit. However, she immediately realized what Lu Chen meant and said in shock, "You mean that the crazy woman who beat you up for the method to restore the Magic Cube last night is Yanyan?"

Lu Chen just nodded and Xue Xiaoling immediately denied it, "Impossible. I have known Yanyan for three years. I know her personality very well. She cares about her face the most. She would never do something like this."

"Is that so? Am I wrong?"

Lu Chen was only suspecting from the motive. He had never met Yan Qingmeng before, so he could not confirm his suspicions. Since Xue Xiaoling said that Yan Qingmeng was not that person, he thought that he was overthinking.

Unexpectedly, Xue Xiaoling frowned and thought for a while. Suddenly, she said, "But the black-robed woman you mentioned is really similar to Yanyan!"

As she spoke, she began to analyze the situation one by one.

"A young woman with the smell of medicinal herbs on her body. At the very least, she has the cultivation of Qi Controlling. There aren't many people in the Azure Sect who meet these requirements, but Yanyan fits all of them."

"The color of her eyes is different. The black-robed woman's eyes are red, and Yanyan's eyes are black. However, this can be disguised by the cultivation of the Shadowcraft."

"Also, although we sold the Magic Cube together, I know that you, Lu Chen, are the true creator of the Magic Cube. There shouldn't be many people who know how to restore the Magic Cube. Yanyan is one of them."

"Most importantly, Yanyan is suspected of committing a crime. I remember that when she left last afternoon, she had only just cracked the second layer of the Magic Cube."

"Last night, you were attacked and forced to ask about the restoration method of the Magic Cube for no reason. Yanyan happened to completely understand the restoration method of the Magic Cube in this short period of time."

"This... Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"

At this moment, Xue Xiaoling was like a supernatural detective. She kept on analyzing the situation. The more she analyzed, the more she felt that Yanyan was the crazy woman in Lu Chen's mind.

Otherwise, why would the black-robed woman come to ask about the Magic Cube's restoration method at the last moment of the three-day deadline?

This was obviously illogical. If it was all a coincidence, it would be too much.

On the contrary, if Yanyan was the black-robed woman, then the motive and characteristics of the suspect could almost completely match her.

"Oh my god, it's Yanyan! It's definitely Yanyan! She tricked me!"

At this moment, Xue Xiaoling felt that she had been tricked by Yanyan. She was like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on, jumping around on Lu Chen's bed in exasperation.

In the end, she asked Lu Chen angrily if he could recognize the black-robed woman from last night. If he could, she would bring him to Mount Elixir to confront Yanyan and seek justice for him.

Xue Xiaoling's attitude change was so fast that Lu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He could not help but laugh and say, "Didn't you just say that you and your Yanyan are familiar with each other for three years, so you can be sure that she is not that kind of person? How come you can't be sure now?"

Xue Xiaoling ground her teeth and made a murderous gesture. She said fiercely, "Kill the wrong person, not the guilty!"

...

With Lu Chen's murderous aura, they arrived at the entrance of the yard at the top of Mount Elixir. Xue Xiaoling was terrified and said in a low voice, "Lu Chen, isn't it bad to barge in like this? What if we guessed wrongly and it was not Yanyan?"

Lu Chen rolled his eyes and said, "Of course not! What else can I do?"

Xue Xiaoling said weakly, "What if Yanyan gets angry because I suspect her? I don't have any friends."

Tsk ~, if she gets angry, then so be it. What does it have to do with me? I'm not even close to her.

Lu Chen silently cursed in his heart, but he still tried to fool her, "It won't happen. This is a reasonable suspicion. Besides, you two are best friends. How can you say that the boat of friendship can be overturned so easily?"
