Chapter 1229: It’s Not Me
After seeing the collapsed, badly-injured spirit plants, everyone immediately drew in a breath.
“Who did this?!”
“Brother Yuan, what’s going on?”
Qi Xin looked at Qi Xiangyuan with a face of shock and disbelief.
Qi Xiangyuan also saw the situation and showed a face of instant anger, “It’s her! When I came back just now, she was already here! She even tried to escape!”
“It’s not me!” Xia Xibei immediately shook her head. “I didn’t do it!”
“It wasn’t you?” Qi Xiangyuan hummed. “If not you, is it me?!”
“Say, who told you to come here?!” A person stood out and pointed at Xia Xibei, cursing angrily. “You are not a member of our Qi family, did you come here to steal something?!”
When these words came out, it was as if a switch had been flicked and everyone was filled with righteous indignation.
“Right! You were definitely trying to steal something!”
“We have so many treasures in this garden, surely you want to steal something!”
...
“Maybe she’s not trying to steal anything! Maybe she’s just trying to cause havoc!” one person said angrily. “It’s because she couldn’t take them away that she wanted to destroy these spiritual plants!”
“Catch her! We can’t let her get away!”
The others were furious, as if Xia Xibei had done something unforgivable.
Seeing that they were about to rush over and grab her, Xia Xibei immediately took a defensive stance.
“I said, I didn’t do it!”
“You didn’t do it? Did I do it? Or did they do it?” Qi Xiangyuan was annoyed.
“When I came here, it was already like this!”
“Why did you come here?” Qi Xin asked in a cold voice. “This place is not open to the public! Also, who invited you here? Don’t tell me that you were chased by a snake! There are no snakes here!”
Xia Xibei looked at her and said with certainty, “I was really chased by a snake!”
“Didn’t you already watch the surveillance? Where is the snake? Do you really think we’re idiots?” Qi Xin coldly snorted, her aura all powerful.
“Don’t bother talking to her! Arrest her!”
Some people in the back were up in arms.
“Yes! Arrest her! We can’t let her get away!”
Everyone was angry, as the Spirit Plant Garden was a very sacred existence to them.
Even if they were from the Qi family, they usually didn’t have many chances to enter here.
After all, the spirit plants here were very rare. Never mind touching them, it was an honor to be able to look at them!
If not for the special circ.u.mstances tonight and the fact that Qi Xin was willing to bring them over, they would not have had the chance to get close.
However, who would have thought that the plants inside would be destroyed?
This was a treasure! Every single one of them was rare and priceless!
Although only two spiritual plants were hurt, this was already enough to cause everyone heartache.
If not for the fact that Qi Xiangyuan had just lost a fight, they might have rushed up.
Xia Xibei calmly said while facing everyone’s gleaming eyes. “I said I didn’t do it.”
“You have to explain yourself.” Qi Xin’s eyes were icy cold and the corners of her mouth held a hint of mockery. “You better explain properly!”
She motioned to the others, but found that everyone was a bit hesitant and didn’t dare to go up.
She was annoyed. Such a useless bunch!
Before she could get angry, however, she heard footsteps coming from the distance.
“What’s wrong?”
Everyone turned their heads to look and immediately became restrained, because the people coming were the elders of the Qi family.
“What’s going on- It’s you?!”
Qi Zhi’an walked over and was just about to ask about the situation when he was surprised by Xia Xibei’s presence.
