Chapter 569

[Seeing Master Han Qi’s soul and body dissipate,]

[He Jinjiao and Zhou Boyi both felt joy in their hearts.]

[They exchanged a furtive glance.]

[This subtle action was caught by Ye Yu.]

[He couldn’t help but wonder, could it be that they were the ones who stole the “Ten Thousand Ghosts Night Walk Map”?]

[The fourth disciple Miao Jinren trembled violently, his fear reaching an extreme.]

[For a moment, he became incoherent, repeatedly insisting it wasn’t him, truly not him.]

[Suddenly, He Jinjiao stepped forward,]

[her expression full of fear, saying, “Master, I—I suddenly remembered something.]

[When you left, I saw the eldest senior brother often wandering inside Yin Hai Hall, and stopping several times in the Ming Treasure Pavilion.”]

[“I think the eldest senior brother might know something.”]

[Her words directly pointed the blame at Ye Yu.]

[In an instant, all ghosts present looked at the eldest senior brother of Yin Hai Hall.]

[They all knew]

[that Ye Yu usually never cultivated and often wandered around.]

[So if there was any suspicion, it should be on Ye Yu the most.]

[Faced with He Jinjiao’s accusation,]

[Ye Yu’s shoulders twitched slightly.]

[Not out of fear,]

[but excitement!]

[Finally, finally the opportunity had come.]

[Honestly, Ye Yu wandered around Yin Hai Hall every day simply because he had nothing else to do.]

[But by heaven’s conscience, whatever Master Han Qi lost, he truly did not take it.]

[In terms of personal integrity, he was rock solid!]

[He never stole anything.]

[Moreover, even putting that aside,]

[how could something worthy of Han Qi’s attention be touched by a mere Qi Refining Realm cultivator like him?]

[He Jinjiao’s words were strongly accusatory—pure framing!]

[It looked like the “Ten Thousand Ghosts Night Walk Map” was definitely stolen by her.]

[Otherwise, why would she be so eager to shift blame?]

[But if that were true, it should satisfy the framing talent’s conditions—so why was there no reaction?]

[Could it be that the framing wasn’t obvious enough?]

[Thinking this, Ye Yu frowned slightly.]

[“Fifth junior sister, if you want to frame me, do it properly!”]

[“Saying it so vaguely, what’s the point?”]

[“Such a useless waste.”]

[“Fine, I’ll help you then!”]

[Ye Yu looked firmly at He Jinjiao and said in a deep voice, “Fifth junior sister, if you have something to say, say it clearly!”]

[“Don’t beat around the bush, don’t be vague!”]

[“If you have the guts, make it clear!”]

[He Jinjiao sneered inside but was stubborn.]

[However, she did not intend to directly accuse Ye Yu.]

[That would be too obvious a frame!]

[She needed to maintain her innocent white lotus image]

[to avoid arousing Master Han Qi’s suspicion,]

[waiting for him to lower his guard.]

[Then it would be the time for her and senior brother to act.]

[In fact, before coming to Yin Hai Hall, He Jinjiao and Zhou Boyi were already Dao partners.]

[They had offended a big shot in another ghost sect,]

[so they fled here and changed their names.]

[Planning to stay here for a while.]

[When they learned about the “Ten Thousand Ghosts Night Walk Map,”]

[their previously calm hearts began to stir again.]

[As disciples from a major ghost sect,]

[they naturally had the vision and knowledge.]

[They knew the map was a top-grade ghost immortal artifact that had shone brightly in the hands of a ghost king.]

[After the ghost king’s fall, the artifact vanished.]

[Unexpectedly, it had been obtained by Han Qi.]

[Such a treasure—how could He Jinjiao and Zhou Boyi not be tempted?]

[Coincidentally, Han Qi went out searching for the Broken-Heart Grass.]

[They immediately made a plan.]

[Zhou Boyi followed Han Qi on the trip,]

[while He Jinjiao stayed in Yin Hai Hall to steal the map.]

[After the plan succeeded,]

[Han Qi would be furious.]

[He Jinjiao would disrupt his mind and frame other senior brothers.]

[Then, taking advantage of Han Qi’s unpreparedness,]

[Zhou Boyi, just entering Ghost Immortal Realm, would use the map’s power to kill him.]

[Then truly take the top-grade ghost immortal artifact as their own.]

[They would also seize the wealth accumulated ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) by Han Qi over the years—a true two-birds-one-stone.]

[Currently, the plan was progressing smoothly.]

[Next, they only needed to keep muddying the waters!]

[He Jinjiao covered her face with one hand, pretending to be very aggrieved, and said, “Eldest senior brother, how can you be so fierce to me?”]

[“I just wanted to say that since you wander the sect every day, you probably know more information.”]

[“So I just want you to tell us the situation. Why are you so agitated?”]

[“You scared me to tears!”]

[Hearing this,]

[Ye Yu felt extremely uncomfortable!]

[It’s already at this stage, yet they’re still speaking so ambiguously.]

[Can’t they be more straightforward?]

[Ugh, such a annoying woman!]

[Getting angrier and angrier, Ye Yu suddenly stepped forward and pointed at He Jinjiao.]

[“Make yourself clear. What do you mean by me being agitated?”]

[“Do you mean I stole Master Han Qi’s ‘Ten Thousand Ghosts Night Walk Map,’ right?”]

[He Jinjiao inwardly blossomed with joy.]

[Good, good, the more agitated, the better!]

[This way suspicion grows.]

[“Eldest senior brother, you really are the chosen scapegoat!”]

[He Jinjiao pretended to be afraid and stepped back two steps, then looked at Master Han Qi with a very wronged expression.]

[Seeing this, Han Qi couldn’t help but become suspicious.]

[Usually, Ye Yu always appeared calm and indifferent.]

[How could he be so agitated today?]

[Could it be that Ye Yu really stole the map?]

[Did he really have that ability?]

[Han Qi’s gaze toward Ye Yu was full of doubt.]

[But he still said nothing.]

[This made Ye Yu extremely anxious.]

[What a useless sect!]

[A junior sister already said things this clearly.]

[As the master, you should at least help her continue the frame.]

[Can’t just hold back and say nothing!]

[Should I add more fuel to the fire?]

[Ye Yu stepped forward again, about to speak,]

[when a figure blocked the space between him and He Jinjiao.]

[It was second senior brother Zhou Boyi.]

[“Eldest senior brother, the matter has come to this point. Is there really a need to continue?”]

[“In my opinion, you stole Master’s ‘Ten Thousand Ghosts Night Walk Map.’ Your agitation clearly shows you’re guilty!”]

[“Maybe you have even refined the treasure secretly, right?”]

[Hearing Zhou Boyi’s righteous words, Ye Yu felt much relieved.]

[Finally, someone straightforward!]

[At the same time, the system’s voice came as expected.]

[Detected the host was successfully framed and falsely accused; as long as the host admits, the matter becomes true!]

[Obtained the top-grade ghost immortal artifact ‘Ten Thousand Ghosts Night Walk Map’ and successfully fully refined it!]
