Facing the condescending threats from the elders, Yu Xiang was frightened and trembling, and she was at a loss.
But in the end, she actually shook her head and said, "Elders, no one taught me. I made it blindly according to my own method, and I accidentally made a precious Wind Pill!"
"It's full of lies!"
"Without a teacher, no matter how blindly you refine, you still won't be able to refine a treasure-level elixir!"
"Do you think you can make elixirs by randomly practicing alchemy?"
"Or do you treat all the elders present as three-year-old children?"
"Even now, are you still unwilling to recruit people from the real situation?"
"Do you have to wait for us to use torture before you are willing to tell the truth?"
All the elders were furious.
But Yu Xiang seemed to have made up her mind and still shook her head firmly, "I really made it by myself. If the elders don't believe it, there's nothing I can do about it!"
As she spoke, she prostrated on the ground, looking like she was ready to be killed.
Although she was very afraid of the cruel punishment that would follow, she was even more afraid of causing Ye Chen to suffer.
After all, Ye Chen was kind to her, and she would rather be punished than involve Ye Chen.
You must know that Ye Chen is now in their Qianyao Mansion. If she tells the truth, Ye Chen will definitely become a turtle in the urn and be eliminated as a heretic by their Qianyao Mansion!
"Ha, now that your wings are strong, you dare to contradict your master, right?"
The great elder laughed angrily, "Do you think we can't do anything if you don't tell us?"
He waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Come here, I'll wait for you to be punished!"
"Great Elder, this disciple has something to say!"
At this time, a disciple stood up and said respectfully: "This time they came back from Hanwei City, and they seem to have brought two outsiders with them. If the disciple guessed correctly, they should be still at the outer gate of our Qianyao Mansion now!
"
"Oh? Is there such a thing?"
The great elder looked at Yu Xiang with burning eyes, "Tell me, did you learn from these people?"
Yu Xiang's delicate body trembled, and she said incoherently: "Elder, this matter has nothing to do with Mr. Ye. It was really made by me blindly. Don't embarrass him. No matter what the punishment is, I will bear it all!"
It's okay that she didn't excuse Ye Chen. This excuse also exposed her guilty conscience.
"Hmph, it seems it really has something to do with the people you brought!"
The great elder smiled proudly, "Detain her first, and the others will follow me to the outer gate to have a look!"
"yes!"
Everyone responded and immediately left the hall.
Yu Xiang continued to defend herself hoarsely, but unfortunately no one paid any attention to her no matter how loud she broke her throat.
And soon, she was taken into a cage.
"Ye Chen, I'm sorry for you!"
Seeing that the situation was out of control, Yuxiang was completely desperate.
She couldn't even imagine what kind of difficult situation Ye Chen would face next if he admitted it bluntly.
It's useless to just let her worry.
After all, she couldn't save herself, so how could she have the ability to save Ye Chen?
…
"Great Elder, if such a big thing happened, why don't you inform the Palace Master?"
One of them asked as he followed the Great Elder towards the outer door.
"No need!"
The First Elder waved his hand and said, "Why should we alarm the Palace Master for such a trivial matter?"
"good!"
An elder next to him echoed: "The Palace Master was invited to Yining City before and was trapped in the Eight Wilds Flowing Fire Formation. Fortunately, a mysterious young man broke through the formation, and the Palace Master was able to escape and ascend to heaven with other warriors. Come to think of it.
We are exhausted now, if we can solve it ourselves, we really shouldn’t bother the Palace Master!”
…
Inside the outer door wing.
"Don't worry, as long as Yuxiang brings the Red Feather Grass, I can diagnose your illness!"
Ye Chen cast a comforting look at Xue Wuhen who was lying on the bed.
"Don't you think I'm a burden?"
Xue Wuhen smiled slyly.
"Of course I don't!"
Ye Chen straightened his face and said seriously: "So after I cure your disease, we will go our separate ways!"
"You dare?" Xue Wuhen suddenly became anxious.
But when her voice fell, she frowned again and said in a deep voice: "It seems that someone is coming, and... the person who came is probably not good!"
"I know!"
Ye Chen nodded, reached out and pressed Xue Wuhen, who was about to stand up, "You can stay here with peace of mind, and leave the rest to me!"
With that said, he opened the door and walked out.
With his current state, how keen is his perception?
While inside the house, he had already vaguely sensed the sound of countless footsteps running towards here quickly.
Sure enough, as soon as he walked out of the house, a group of people rushed into the yard.
Most of the people at the head of the group had white beards and hair, and were wearing clothes unique to Qian Yao Mansion.
"What are you doing?"
Ye Chen frowned, and a bad feeling came to his mind.
He has been waiting for Yuxiang's red feather grass, but now Yuxiang has not come back, but so many elders of Qianyao Mansion have rushed in with people.
No need to think, something must have happened to Yuxiang.
And these people from Qianyao Mansion must also be here for him.
"Are you the one who entered our Qianyao Mansion with Yu Xiang?"
The elder looked at Ye Chen up and down and asked sternly.
"Yes, I wonder what the elders do with me?"
After all, he was under someone else's roof and had to ask for help from others, so Ye Chen still tried to be as polite as possible.
"I'm asking you, did you teach Yu Xiang the weird refining methods she used in the medicine refining competition?" the great elder got straight to the point.
"Oh? Is this why you came here?"
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows but did not deny it, "Yes, I taught her!"
Needless to say, Yuxiang must have confessed herself.
"It's really you!"
After receiving his confirmation, the great elder looked up to the sky and laughed, then waved his hand, "Take down this heretic!"
"yes!"
The people who followed responded and immediately pressed forward menacingly.
"You actually regard me as a heretic?"
Ye Chen shook his head in disappointment, "I endure it again and again, just because I don't want to make things worse. Since you stubborn old men are so ignorant of appreciation, don't blame me for forcing it!"
After saying that, Ye Chen took a step forward.
"boom!"
When the footsteps fell, it was like a stone falling to the ground, the waves of dust rippled, and the earth trembled.
"Ye Chen, if you have something to say, please say it!"
A familiar voice came.
Following the sound, I saw Duanmu Liangzheng rushing out of the side door not far away, and said in fear: "Elders, is there any misunderstanding in this?"
"Misunderstand?"
The Great Elder sneered, his voice suddenly raised, "Take it down!"
"Ah? Great Elder, why is this? Why do you want to capture the disciple?"
Duanmu Liang became even more flustered.
He had only been away for a while, and yet such a big change happened.
"Did you and Yu Xiang bring this heresy into Qian Yao Mansion?"
The great elder pointed at Ye Chen, "Now that Yuxiang has been taken into custody, if you don't show up, I will send people to look for you everywhere!"
"What? Ye Chen is a heretic?"
Duanmu Liang became even more puzzled, "Elder, this must be a misunderstanding, disciple..."
Before he finished speaking, the Great Elder roared impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, capture him and Ye Chen together, and kill him without mercy if he dares to resist!"
"This this……"
Duanmu Liang was so frightened that he lost his mind.
However, he subconsciously glanced at Ye Chen, whose face was full of murderous intent, and he became even more anxious, "Ye Chen, I know you are not weak, but you must not act recklessly, otherwise..."
Before he finished speaking, he couldn't continue.
Because at this time, Ye Chen had already rushed out like lightning.
