The real big guys are those with connections in the eyes of the system!

"Actually, there is one thing I don't quite understand. Does she think of herself as a man or a woman now?" Suihong scratched his head.

Yiqing said calmly: "Neither male nor female, where the benefits are, there is the choice."

She resented women, but that didn't mean she favored men.

You know, most of the people she used Shadow Fox to confuse were men, which might not be a manifestation of her hatred.

"People like this are the most disgusting!" Suihong said with disgust.

Yiqing responded softly, agreeing, "Yes."

No matter how bad her previous experiences were, that was not a reason for her to hurt others.

Besides, she was in the company of demons, and they were hostile.

Yiqing never sympathizes with his enemies.

Suihong muttered, "I don't know what will happen to her in the end."

Yiqing didn't think this was a question that needed further consideration. "She colluded with the demon and became a half-demon. The master will not tolerate her continuing to live."

It is inevitable that Chi Siyu will die.

But what about the fourth brother and the others?

Her curious question was answered the next day.

It was Suihong who came over to share the news.

"Before I came here, I inquired about your fellow apprentices. It is said that they have been crying out for justice, but Chi Siyu insisted that they had teamed up to kill the man. The elders originally planned to treat them as the same crime, which means that they would all..." Sui Hong made a gesture of wiping his neck, "but one of them was quick-witted and said that he would use [Searching Conscience] to prove his innocence."

As she spoke, she glanced at Yiqing and said, "I remember that your cultivation was damaged because they forced you to use [Self-Examination], and then something went wrong?"

Yiqing nodded gently: "Yeah."

"It's really the wheel of karma. Now it's their turn to use [Self-Consciousness]!" Suihong snorted coldly.

Yiqing couldn't help but laugh, "Using [Self-Asking] doesn't guarantee that something will go wrong. There's still a good chance that you can get through it safely."

Even though she released the news that something went wrong, she actually used a secret method, and [Self-examination] was not effective on her from the beginning. The subsequent damage to her cultivation was just a trick she used by borrowing the bracelet given by Awang.

Suihong didn't know the truth of the matter and just thought Yiqing was forcing himself to smile.

She cursed them angrily, "People with such bad hearts like them will never have such good luck!"

-

[Questioning the Conscience] was scheduled for the next day, and Yiqing also went to see it.

As soon as they arrived, they heard Lao Wu pleading, "Our wounds have not yet healed. It is too risky to use [Self-Examination] now. Please, Master, postpone the time for a few days."

When people saw that they were covered in wounds and their clothes were covered in blood, it was inevitable that some people would feel soft-hearted.

But at this time, a clear female voice rang out, "It's been two days since the incident, and you haven't changed your tattered clothes yet. You're trying to gain sympathy on purpose!"

His thoughts were exposed, and Lao Wu looked at Suihong angrily.

But when he saw Yiqing beside her, his eyes suddenly turned red, "Second Senior Sister..."

Now that Chi Siyu is imprisoned, Shadow Fox's abilities are restricted, and Lao Wu and the others have now regained consciousness.

Everything that happened during this period existed in his mind, but this time when he looked at Yiqing, he was no longer arrogant or resentful. Instead, he seemed to have seen his backbone.

"Second Senior Sister, please help us plead for mercy. The teachers have always been on your side. As long as you ask, they may agree to postpone it."

Lao Liu thought back to the stupid things he had done and lowered his head in shame, "Second Senior Sister, I'm sorry."

The seventh brother had fallen out with Chi Siyu a long time ago and had been away from her influence for some time.

But he had begged for so long in the past, but still failed to get Yiqing's forgiveness, and now he knew that she would not help them.

However, the risks of [questioning one's conscience] were well known, and he couldn't help but look at Yiqing with pleading and expectant eyes.

As for the fourth brother, he had no sword wounds on his body. On the night when the Qingyue Sect disciples were killed, he was being interrogated by multiple parties, so this matter certainly had nothing to do with him.

But he hadn't explained the fact that he had taken someone else's natal sword, so the elders decided to bring him here as well to question his conscience.

"No, I don't want to accept [Conscience], I really was the one who picked up that sword, I'm telling the truth, there's really no need to [Conscience]!"

His reaction was greater than anyone else's.

Because everyone else wants to use [Searching the Conscience] to clear their name, but they are also afraid that [Searching the Conscience] might go wrong, so now they want to eliminate all potential risks as much as possible.

Only the fourth brother was really unwilling and did not dare to accept it [conscientiously].

He knew clearly that if what he had done was discovered, he would be finished.

Just when he was most helpless, he saw Yiqing.

The fourth brother's eyes suddenly lit up, and he used his hands and feet to crawl to Yiqing's side, "Second Senior Sister, you have to help me, I won't do stupid things in the future, I will definitely listen to you carefully..."

He cried with tears streaming down his face.

The whole person looks dirty and ugly.

Yiqing moved away silently.

The fourth brother happened to see her disdainful look, and the despair in his heart almost swallowed him up.

Lao Wu came up again, "Second Senior Sister, why don't you plead for us? Don't worry, we are not trying to delay time because we feel guilty. As long as our injuries are healed, we will immediately accept the [Search of Conscience]. You also know that if we are injured, we may be affected by the injuries during the [Search of Conscience]. If something goes wrong, then..."

Sui Hong sneered, "What will happen? Why don't you say anything? Are you feeling guilty?"

"What you mean is that you will be like me, with your realm damaged and your cultivation stagnant, right?" Yiqing "kindly" completed his unfinished words.

Lao Wu opened his mouth to say something, but he saw Yi Qing smiling at him, "Who said you can't [examine your conscience] when you're injured? Wasn't I forced to [examine my conscience] in front of everyone when my injuries hadn't healed yet?"

"It turns out that Senior Sister Qi Rang was forced by someone. Who is so bad?" Sui Hong's tone was exaggerated, successfully making Lao Wu and others look ashamed.

She sneered and was about to pull Yiqing away from these ungrateful people.

But they were even more shameless than she thought, "Second Senior Sister, you should have heard that we were all bewitched by the demon before, and what we did was not our original intention.

We know you feel wronged, but we are also innocent. Can you also feel sorry for us? As long as we can get through this disaster safely, our relationship as senior sister and brother will remain as close as before."

"Not good." Yiqing said firmly.

Lao Wu was frozen in place by her cold gaze, and realized that there was no turning back.

He stood there in a daze, and did not come to his senses until Yiqing walked several steps away.

"How did things turn out like this?" he murmured, his eyes empty and silent.

……

[Ask your conscience] and start.

The four of them answered the teacher's questions in turn.

The good news is that the deaths of the five people from Qingyue Sect had nothing to do with them, and the sword wounds on their bodies were just coincidences.

The bad news first is that it was obvious to everyone that they were so close to Chi Siyu before. They were in league with the monster, so they could escape the death penalty but could not escape the punishment of life.

The second piece of bad news was that when Lao Liu was halfway through [Searching His Heart], his breath suddenly became disordered, and then his cultivation began to collapse.

The accident finally happened.

The third piece of bad news was that the sword that Lao Si had just obtained was indeed not legitimate. In order to perform well in the sect competition, he took a lot of elixirs to improve his cultivation, but the effect was minimal, so he decided to change his weapon.

It happened that a swordsman encountered difficulties and took the initiative to put his sword up for auction.

The fourth brother originally wanted to buy the sword through legitimate means, but most of his spirit stones had been given to Chi Siyu, and the ones left in his hand were not even enough to pay for the sword.

He was unwilling to give up, so he simply set his sights on the sword's ownership, intending to snatch it as soon as he left the auction house.

However, he did not expect that there were several groups of people who had the same idea as him. He was slower than them and missed the opportunity. Just when he wanted to admit that he was unlucky, he found that the person who had led the people away was a fake, and the real buyer showed up after a long time.

He accidentally became the "yellow bird" behind the scenes.

The fourth brother hesitated for a while, but couldn't resist his greed and tried to grab the sword.

But he didn't expect that the man's strength was so weak, and he killed him by accident.

Murder is a greater crime than robbery, so in order to prevent the crime from being exposed, he threw the man's body into someone else's alchemy furnace.

The raging fire quickly engulfed the person's body.

The alchemist who had secretly taken a nap woke up from his sleep...
