THE AGAINTS THE GOD

28 - Upheaval (7)

“Xiao Che! What do you mean by that? ”First Elder Xiao Li suddenly shouted,“ Don't tell me you are implying that Clan Master has stolen the Profound Opening Powder from himself, and then shifted the blame on Xiao Lingxi! You are the reason why Xiao Lingxi stole the Profound Opening Powder. If you keep raving such nonsense, be careful or even you will be punished together if you do not back down! "

“Do not fidget, First Elder. "Xiao Che shook his head as he laughed, looking innocuous:" Where I could dare to even question the Clan Master, I only voiced suspicion in my heart, and I believe, most of us here have the same question as well. Many of us here understand the nature of Clan Master and should be confused as to why Clan Master handled such a situation. Of course the Clan Master is innocent. He couldn't possibly do this kind of lowly and dirty thing that even the world hated. I'm sure the Clan Master will provide a perfect explanation. Am I right, Clan Master. "(TL:" low and dirty "interpreted from a Chinese idiom that literally means" worse than pigs and dogs ")

The people from the Xiao Clan and the nobles from Floating Cloud City all stared at him silently, someone who is afraid of even making contact with outsiders. However, not only could he speak honestly under the watchful eye of the audience in this tense atmosphere and situation, his expression did not even change when the First Elder shouted at him … The Xiao Che and Xiao Che they knew seemed to be two fundamentally different people.

"Low and dirty that even the world would despise" These few words caused Xiao Yunhai's face to cramp for a moment. He raised his head to look at Xiao Che, smiled faintly and said, "There's no need to fidget First Elder, it's normal for Xiao Che to question this way and as he said, it's normal for Xiao Che to question it, many of our friends here should have the same questions as well . Actually, when I received the Profound Opening Powder from Young Master Xiao yesterday, I had indeed prepared to keep it by my side. However, the Profound Opening Powder was a high-grade medicine from the Xiao Sect that was also extremely valuable. The higher the level of the drug, the easier the effect disappears. In the case of this treasure elixir, even if the effect disappeared slightly, it would still be a huge loss. If I were to take it with me, it would often come into contact with impure vital energy so even though it was protected by the Black Profound Ebony box, the effect would still be lost easily. That's why I put it in the hospital. After all, in hospitals, a wide variety of herbs had been collected over the years, producing a lot of medicinal energy. In places with sufficient 'drug energy', elixir energy will not dissipate easily. ”

"Another reason is that we of the Xiao Clan have always been serious about obeying the law. I would never expect a 'household thief' to appear, or even think that he would have the courage to steal the important gift that the Xiao Sect brought, it is still my fault that the Profound Opening Powder was stolen. With respect to this, I cannot escape that responsibility. I will not complain if Young Master Xiao also demands my punishment. ”

Xiao Yunhai let out a heavy sigh after he finished speaking.

Xiao Yunhai's explanation was absolutely perfect. First Elder suddenly shouted once more, “Xiao Che! Did you hear it clearly? The Clan Master had left the Profound Opening Powder in the hospital was for this very meticulous reason and wanted to protect the potential of the Profound Opening Powder! Who would have thought that a house thief would show up! What else do you have to say? "

"Oh, oh! So so! "Xiao Che nodded, as if he was happy with Xiao Yunhai's explanation:" To know the existence of 'drug energy', the Clan Master was really knowledgeable. Then, the second question I wanted to ask was coincidentally related to this 'drug energy. ”

Xiao Che narrowed his eyes and laughed faintly as he continued: "Regarding 'drug energy', our Xiao Clan hospital has collected various herbs over the years and they are indeed quite a lot. In addition, the highest amount of potion we have in our hospital is "Thin Net Grass", so the smell of medicinal energy should be the fishy smell that 'Thin Net Grass' has'. ”

"Klan Master also knew that the box containing the Profound Opening Powder made from Black Profound Ebony and Black Profound Ebony very well protected the effects of the elixir from disappearing into the surroundings, then did Clan Master know the reason why the Black Profound Ebony could protect the effects of the potion. Black Profound Ebony had an extremely strong particle absorption ability, so when the surrounding medicinal strength came into contact with the Black Profound Ebony, they would be strongly absorbed and would be difficult to diffuse. Once the surface was sufficiently absorbed to its full capacity, the medicinal strength would still not be able to spread even if it wanted to. I believe that anyone here with little medical knowledge should understand this theory. ”

Quite a number of people present nodded without a sound.

"Then, if the Ebony Profound Black Box containing the Profound Opening Powder had been placed in the hospital for a period of time, its surface would definitely absorb a large amount of 'drug energy' when I was in the hospital. According to the nature of Black Profound Ebony, it absorbs quickly but diffuses slowly, so even if it is removed from the hospital, you should still be able to smell the 'drug energy' even after two to three days .. the sweet fishy smell of Thin Net Grass … "

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Yunhai's complexion immediately changed slightly.

Xiao Che had calculated accurately that Xiao Yunhai would not actually place the Profound Opening Powder in the hospital because if the Profound Opening Powder were truly stolen, he would cry his eyes out … And Xiao Yunhai had indeed not placed the Profound Opening Powder in the hospital. As for the hospital physician, Xiao Gu, he had already been informed of this before, and under the Xiao Sect's deterrence, Xiao Gu did not dare to refuse.

"I wonder if the Clan Master dares to bring the box, and let us smell to check if the smell that should be there, is actually in the box?" Xiao Che said with a laugh.

“Xiao Che! As expected, you are still suspecting the Master Clan, just unreasonable! "Before Xiao Yunhai said anything, Xiao Li once again erupted agitatedly:" To protect your little aunt, you will actually forcefully question the Clan Master, absolutely ridiculous! Exorbitant! Our Xiao Clan has truly raised you in vain for so many years, why don't you retreat !! ”

"Hehe, no need to fidget, First Elder. The relationship of their aunt and nephew was always close, her attempt to exploit in any way was understandable. Furthermore, what he said was also reasonable and fair. Because he wants to know if there is a problem with this box, we will only prove it to him. But, both the Profound Opening Powder and the Black Profound Wood are precious treasures, how can we let anyone touch them as they please. "Xiao Yunhai turned to face Xiao Kuangyun after he finished speaking and continued respectfully:" In that case, can we trouble Young Master Xiao to bear witness. I believe that if it was Young Master Xiao, his words would have convinced the masses more than anyone else present today.

The gazes of Xiao Kuangyun and Xiao Yunhai met. At the same time, the two of them thought that it was impossible for the foolish Xiao Che to realize that they had cooperated from the very beginning. Xiao Kuangyun raised the box in his hand, smiled with disdain, and casually replied: “This suspicion is quite interesting. Therefore, I will kiss him on your behalf. ”

After he said that, Xiao Kuangyun lifted up the box containing the Profound Opening Powder, carried it to his nose, and began to kiss it solemnly. He then furrowed his brows and spoke, “Although the smell is not strong, there is indeed a sweet yet suspicious smell. ”

He narrowed his eyes and nonchalantly said, "Come and kiss the First Elder as well, to avoid others suspecting that I am collaborating with Clan Master Xiao. ”

“How could someone of Young Master Xiao's status take the trouble to lie to us. '' First Elder Xiao Li was immediately flattered as he walked obediently and deeply sniffed. He then nodded his head, “That's right, indeed a sweet but suspicious smell. "He glared across the room and raised his voice:" What else should you say, Xiao Che? Young Master Xiao and Clan Master have given you an extremely beautiful face, if you continue to deteriorate without end, I will personally chase after you. ”

"Well! Calm the First Elder. "Xiao Che waved his hands up and down when his expression became strange:" Young Master Xiao and First Elder suddenly smelled a fishy smell, this this this ..*Cough cough* Actually, actually, it's not, I'm not careful now and misspoke..Young Master Xiao, who is of noble status, is of course only in contact with high-level elixirs. As for a common potion like that of the Thin Net Grass, you would definitely not bother to take a second look. The Clan Master and First Elder wholeheartedly devoted themselves to training and did not dabble in medical knowledge, and therefore naturally did not have the time to visit the hospital, either, so you may not know that the smell of Thin Net Grass is actually not a fishy smell, but a sweet bitter smell. Does any of you know that if you go to the hospital and inhale .. eh? However Young Master Xiao and First Elder have smelled a sweet fishy smell, this makes me unable to understand. I wonder if there is anyone here who can help me to explain this to me?

As soon as those words were spoken, everyone's expressions had changed, becoming extremely brilliant, while on the other hand, the expressions of Xiao Kuangyun, Xiao Yunhai, and Elder Xiao Li instantly became stiff … Although it was only for a moment, many people clearly saw that change. Meanwhile, the Xiao Clan disciples who frequented the hospital, were familiar with the scent of Thin Net Grass and gazed towards …

Many people's hearts start pumping hard …

They began to smell the atmosphere, different from before …

“Xiao Che! You still don't want to shut your mouth, brat ... Not only are you trying to protect Xiao Lingxi in vain, you still go too far to question the Clan Master, Not only are you trying to protect Xiao Lingxi, you are still going too far to question the Clan Master, to question Young Master Xiao! I saw you deliberately playing around with us, and kept raving nonsense! "Xiao Li's face shriveled and revealed an ominous glint in his eyes:" Young Master Xiao, Clan Master, don't listen to his nonsense anymore! Since the truth of the stolen Profound Opening Powder is already out, we don't need to waste any more time. Xiao Che, this brat, not only caused all this chaos, he was still trying to protect the culprit and offend the Clan Master and Young Master Xiao. He must be punished !! ”

As long as one was not deaf, one could clearly hear that Xiao Li's words contained a hint of shame in his anger. As for the topic of "smelling wrong", he completely avoided the problem and did not even give a word of explanation.

“Since Elder Xiao doesn't want to hear my nonsense, then I will stop chasing. As for my last question, I would like to have this friend call Xiao Jiu from the Xiao Sect. This should be a very simple question and I hope you answer it. If you can answer it, then I will admit that my little aunt has indeed stolen the Profound Opening Powder and I will not utter a word of complaint. Even if you want to punish my little aunt, or even punish me too! ”

Without waiting for Xiao Yunhai and the others to respond, Xiao Che's gaze had landed on the corpse-like face of Xiao Jiu. His expression remained bland but his eyes became incomparably sharp, every word sounding like a little gong: "Xiao Jiu, you said that the Incredible Opening Powder was found under the pillow of my little aunt's room. Then, can you tell me if the bed in my little aunt's room faces east or west? What color pillow? And if the pillow is placed at the south end or the north end of the bed? ”

Xiao Jiu's expression instantly stiffened while Xiao Kuangyun and Xiao Yunhai's expressions suddenly became unsightly.

"If you go to my aunt's room and find the Profound Opening Powder under her pillow, then those questions should be very simple for you .. Come on, tell me your answer, you just need to say, you just need to say, my little aunt and I will soon plead guilty without a word. Yes, I guess you, Young Master Xiao, Clan Master and all the elders here want to settle the case quickly and start the main business for today, am I right? Then you should tell us immediately. It would be very bad to delay your master and time everyone here ... Just tell me? Say it ... what? Why didn't you answer me? Didn't you clearly go to my aunt's room? Why can't you answer such a simple question? ”

"Don't say ... You never even got into my aunt's room in the first place? But you claim that the Profound Opening Powder was found under my little aunt's pillow .. How did that happen? Could it be that you know the legendary Thousand Mile Chicken Snatching skill? "(TL: Mile still refers to the Chinese mile, li, which is still half a kilometer.)
