Chapter 74 Backstabbed by a Girlfriend
"Retreat quickly and leave here!"
The people around moved away.
Pei Jinshu was seen holding a flaming whip in his hand and hitting the woman in white robe hard. The latter happened to have a water-type spiritual root.
The water escape technique solidified in front of her body to block the attack. The woman in white robe raised her hand to condense her spiritual power. Two water dragons appeared out of thin air and swept towards Pei Jinshu with great momentum.
"Boom bang bang-"
Just when the two wanted to continue fighting, Mu Nanyue, who had been staying where he was, raised his hand to condense a defensive barrier, locking up the two men separately so that they could not launch an attack.
Mu Nanyue's face darkened slightly, and her voice was cold: "That's enough. I have found out the truth for you now that I have time."
Pei Jinshu: “…”
White robe woman: "..."
They were trapped in two barriers, and every attack they launched would bounce back, so they were very obedient and did not move.
"Thank you very much, Miss Mu." The woman in white robe had a cold face and looked away.
Mu Nanyue didn't say any more nonsense, and went straight to search for the glass stone on Pei Jinshu's body. As expected, she took out a small stone the size of a thumb. Then she injected her spiritual power into the red magic crystal.
Soon, a cloud of white mist floated out from the red magic crystal, mysterious and strange, and the scene inside gradually appeared in front of everyone.
A slender white hand was holding a glass stone. This was the scene that everyone saw, and the person in it was Mu Nanyue.
The next person to come into contact with the glass stone was Pei Jinshu. Not long after, the picture began to change, revealing an unexpected person.
Everyone looked surprised, even Mu Nanyue was a little surprised, her eyes flickered slightly.
The woman in white robes was incredulous. She turned her head sharply to look at the person beside her, her voice trembling slightly: "Wen Li!"
The girl's face was as pale as a corpse. Without thinking, she started to defend herself: "Qingqing, don't misunderstand me. There must be something wrong. Why would I take your things?"
Before the woman in white robes could speak, Pei Jinshu snorted coldly: "Of course you didn't take it, but put it on me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised the long whip in her hand and swung it accurately in front of Wen Li, her eyes full of danger, "Tell me! How did I offend you that you want to frame me like this?"
If Mu Nanyue didn't have a magic weapon, she would have to take the blame!
Wen Li stepped back repeatedly, trembling with fear, and glanced at the woman in white robe with pitiful and helpless eyes, "Qingqing..."
Her eyes were full of help. After Wen Qing came to his senses, he was still unwilling to believe it, but the evidence was right in front of him.
Unless the magic weapon is broken!
Wen Qing really couldn't figure it out. He glanced at her with his dark eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Why? Why did you do this?"
Although Wen Li is the nanny's daughter, they grew up together and are best friends who encourage each other. They have practiced together and agreed to enter the academy together.
Now that everything has been accomplished, why did Wen Li want to harm her? Was there some reason?
Wen Qing would rather believe that she was forced than to believe that Wen Li would betray her and want her life!
She is not a fool. Wen Qing is also a descendant of an aristocratic family. He understands those methods that are not acceptable and knows who not to offend.
Pei Jinshu has the Pei family behind her, and her brother's fiancée is Mu Nanyue. It can be said that the Mu family will also support Pei Jinshu.
If she searched her body today and found out that it was Pei Jinshu who took the glass stone, Wen Qing would be safe. But if she misunderstood her, the rest of her life...
You can imagine what she is like.
Pei Jinshu is arrogant and has always had a bad temper. She carries many magical weapons with her and it is rumored that she has fought with evil cultivators.
He is not someone who is easy to mess with.
Wen Qing had also offended her and almost caused her to be blamed. After Pei Jinshu proved her innocence, she would never let him go easily. It was terrifying to think about it!
Wen Qing also froze in place, cold sweat soaking his back, and then he heard Wen Li's words of defense: "Qingqing, you believe me!"
"My cultivation level is so low, how could I quietly take the glass stone from your neck without you noticing? And put it on Miss Pei."
"Besides, I have no grudge against Miss Pei, why would I frame her?"
After hearing the explanation, Wen Qing was slightly stunned, but after thinking about it carefully, it made sense.
Wen Li’s cultivation is not as good as hers, how could he take away the glass stone so easily?
But the picture displayed by the magic weapon was herself after Wen Li appeared.
Wen Qing also looked solemn. For a moment, he couldn't figure out what went wrong.
"Miss Wen Li is right. Her cultivation is only at the early stage of Spirit King, while Miss Wen Qingye's cultivation is already at the middle stage of Spirit King. How could she not notice if she wanted to cross levels and steal something?"
"That's right, but what's going on with the image presented by the magic weapon? It can't be that Miss Mu's magic weapon... is broken?"
The man didn't dare to say it was fake.
As soon as these words were spoken, many people's eyes fell on Mu Nanyue, their eyes were full of suspicion, but no one dared to question it out loud.
Seeing someone speaking up for her, Wen Li lowered her eyes slightly. She looked like she dared not resist and was at the mercy of others, which made people feel pity for her.
Someone watching the show couldn't help it and took the lead to speak up for Wen Li, "We've just had our first day at the academy, that's enough. Anyway, the glass stone has been found, and there's no right or wrong in pursuing it, so why bother making things difficult for our classmates?"
Just as everyone nodded in agreement, Mu Nanyue chuckled: "It's none of my business, but you find it easy to make sarcastic remarks."
It wasn't her who was slandered, so of course it didn't matter, and no one wanted to make a fuss.
But the matter was not resolved. Pei Jinshu and Wen Qing had also fought before, which caused a small commotion and attracted attention.
No matter how the rumors spread, Pei Jinshu would be furious.
The person who spoke for Wen Li rolled his eyes but didn't say anything more.
"This is a very simple matter." Mu Nanyue remained calm and composed. She took out a pill from the space and let everyone see it with their own eyes.
Wen Li's pupils shrank slightly as if she had guessed something. She subconsciously wanted to refuse, but she found that Wen Qing was also staring at her, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Her heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.
At this time, Mu Nanyue continued, "This is a fifth-grade Mantra Pill. Once you eat it, anyone below the Spiritual Emperor will only tell the truth and will not be able to escape."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Wen Li was extremely scared, and her hands hanging down at her sides were shaking even more violently. Her eyes gradually became misty, and she choked up and said, "Qingqing, you actually don't believe me..."
Wen Qing also moved his lips, but in the end he couldn't bear it and was unwilling to accept the truth, even though it made him feel uncomfortable.
"No..." Wen Qing was just about to stop investigating, to let it go, and to ask Mu Nanyue not to waste the elixir, which was quite precious after all, but he saw a figure flash past him.
"Cry, cry, cry, what's there to cry about? You are so shameless to falsely accuse others, and you feel wronged, don't you?" Pei Jinshu snatched the Truth Pill away from her at some point, and quickly came in front of Wen Li, forcing her to swallow it.
"You... um..." Wen Li's resistance was in vain, and she finally swallowed the Mantra Pill. Her face instantly became extremely ugly.
"Cough, cough, cough--" Wen Li covered her chest tightly, as if she wanted to spit out the pill, but the fifth-grade pill melted in her mouth.
Wen Li subconsciously wanted to escape and didn't dare to look Wen Qing in the eye.
The next moment, her foot movement paused slightly, and her whole body became so stiff that she could not move.
