Chapter 417: Acting Up Three Days Later
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Wen Chuan raised his hand, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.
Suddenly, he seemed to have sensed something. He looked towards the southeast with vigilance in his eyes.
A few seconds later, he completely relaxed.
Wen Chuan had reached the perfected realm. As long as someone performed a ritual, he could sense the fluctuations.
He had sensed that someone was casting a spell just now and had successfully implanted a black magic worm.
Therefore, he used his consciousness to track it and found that it was the Southwest Black Magic King who was performing a ritual on Hu Ying. Furthermore, it had succeeded.
Three days later, the poison would take effect.
Wen Chuan thought for a moment and looked at Yu Su. “Mrs. Yu has been poisoned. It will flare up in three days. Do you want to save her?”
Yu Su shook her head.
Previously, she had reminded Hu Ying that if she continued to get involved with Zhao Lan, there would be serious consequences.
However, Hu Ying did not listen. There was nothing she could do.
Since Hu Ying was so stubborn, don’t blame her for not saving her.
It was also time for Hu Ying to personally experience the power of the black magic worm. This way, she could learn to be smarter and remember the lesson this time.
Then, Wen Chuan sensed something.
He said, “Yu Zong came to the Daoist a.s.sociation and entered the manager’s office.”
Yu Su thought for a moment and asked, “There should be results from the investigation of Yu Miao stealing luck, right?”
Otherwise, there was no reason for him to come.
If he was asking for help, he should have trusted Master Wen the most.
Wen Chuan looked at her in admiration and said with a smile, “Junior Sister, you really have divine foresight. You guessed correctly. It’s because of Yu Miao.”
After a few days of delay, the results of the investigation were finally out.
However, Yu Zong might not believe this outcome.
Yu Su asked, “What’s the outcome of the investigation? Senior Brother should know, right?”
Wen Chuan was in the a.s.sociation, so he should be quite well-informed.
However, from the current situation, Yu Miao could already walk freely, which meant that she had been released.
In that case, the responsibility was not on Yu Miao.
Someone must have taken the blame for her for borrowing luck.
Wen Chuan pondered for a moment and recalled the outcome of this matter. “An inconspicuous metaphysical master took the initiative to confess.”
Yu Su raised her head and looked out of the courtyard. “Everyone in the world comes for benefits. He probably received some benefits, right?”
Wen Chuan shook his head. “That’s not all. As far as I know, Master Wei made a mistake and was caught by a big shot.”
Yu Su smiled. “So that’s coercion and bribery?”
Benefits could be the promise of power or money.
Master Wei had been a n.o.body in the Daoist a.s.sociation for so many years, which proved that he had no talent. It was difficult for him to break through in metaphysics, and he was unwilling to be an ordinary person.
Wen Chuan nodded and downed the tea in his hand.
Yu Su thought for a moment and asked curiously, “Doesn’t Yu Miao have to bear any responsibility?”
This shouldn’t be the case.
No matter what, she was still considered an accomplice.
Wen Chuan explained, “This is the shrewdness of those people. The results of their investigation are that Yu Miao is also a victim.”
“If she doesn’t agree to steal the luck, she will be killed by Master Wei. She was forced to do so. The luck that she stole will be enjoyed by Master Wei in the end. She doesn’t have any bad intentions.”
In this way, Yu Miao could receive a lighter punishment or be innocent.
Yu Su’s eyes were filled with mockery. “As expected, I knew that as long as she enters the Daoist a.s.sociation, there will be plenty of opportunities for her to escape punishment.”
In this way, not only did Yu Miao not have to bear the responsibility, but she could also receive everyone’s pity.
After all, she was just a victim.
On the other side.
Yu Zong came to the a.s.sociation and sat in front of the steward.
After listening to the results of the investigation, he frowned and looked puzzled.
Yu Zong asked, “Are you saying that Master Wei did all of this and it has nothing to do with Yu Miao?”
The manager nodded. “According to the available evidence, that’s indeed the case.”
Yu Zong could not believe it. He felt that something was wrong, but he could not put his finger on it.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Zong questioned again, “If Master Wei is so powerful that he can threaten Yu Miao, why didn’t he directly come and absorb our luck? Instead, he beat around the bush to do these things?”
Wouldn’t that be even more troublesome?
