Shao Yumiao: “…”
Shao Yumiao fell silent.
However, while Shao Yumiao didn’t speak, Song Cha did.
Song Cha decided to seek justice for Shao Yumiao.
“Master, it was the Outer Sect’s steward Han Yuan,” Song Cha said without hesitation.
But for some reason, when Song Cha mentioned that name, she saw Shao Yumiao close her eyes, looking somewhat despondent.
However, this thought didn’t linger in Song Cha’s mind.
Shao Yumiao was such a strong person, how could she possibly be despondent?
It must have been an illusion.
After hearing Song Cha’s words, Chu Man sent out a message with a spell, and soon it was gone.
In just a few minutes, the steward Han Yuan that Song Cha had mentioned arrived, kneeling at Chu Man’s feet.
“Elder,” Han Yuan said with utmost respect.
Chu Man glanced at Han Yuan indifferently, “I called you here to ask about why you didn’t let Yumiao stay in the courtyard. Qingfeng Sect has always had good relations with the Sword Sect, how could you treat the Sword Sect’s young master like this?”
Upon hearing Chu Man’s words, Han Yuan quickly responded, “Elder, it’s not what you think!”
“Not what I think?” Chu Man looked at Han Yuan, waiting for his explanation.
“This matter… it was the Sword Sect’s young master Shao Yumiao who instructed me to do it,” Han Yuan said even more respectfully, “Elder, you know, I’m just a mere steward, how could I dare to interfere with the Sword Sect’s young master’s affairs?”
Chu Man: “…”
Shao Yumiao: “…”
Song Cha: “…”
Hearing the words of the Sword Sect elder, Chu Man and Song Cha both looked at Shao Yumiao, wanting to see how she would respond.
Shao Yumiao closed her eyes again, wanting to say something, but in the end, she remained silent.
Seeing Shao Yumiao close her eyes, Song Cha suddenly remembered the previous times Shao Yumiao had done the same. She felt that Shao Yumiao seemed somewhat despondent back then.
Could it be… that Shao Yumiao really did this? So she already knew that calling this steward would lead to such a situation? Is that why she seemed so despondent?
And Chu Man clearly had the same thought as Song Cha.
Chu Man had a smile on her face, but her eyes were cold: “Yumiao, I originally thought you were being bullied and wanted to seek justice for you. I didn’t expect you to be the one orchestrating everything.”
Shao Yumiao: “…”
Shao Yumiao didn’t say anything, she just looked at Song Cha, “Cha Cha, what do you think?”
Song Cha: “…”
Song Cha didn’t know what to say.
What did she mean by what she thought?
If she hadn’t been paying close attention to Shao Yumiao, hadn’t noticed her closing her eyes twice, Song Cha might have believed that Shao Yumiao was innocent.
After all, in the original storyline, Shao Yumiao always had the image of a Tianshan Snow Lotus, an unattainable flower.
How could someone with such an image be so dramatic, orchestrating everything herself, framing herself, and then playing the victim?
But now, Song Cha had evidence.
However, some people, even if they know the truth, won’t reveal it.
Not only will they not reveal it, but they will also protect it.
“Yumiao sister, I believe you are innocent,” Song Cha said naively, “Someone must have framed you, that’s why this happened.”
Shao Yumiao: “…”
Hearing Song Cha’s words, Shao Yumiao’s eyes widened slightly.
She never expected Song Cha to say that, to say she trusted her?
Even with such obvious evidence, Song Cha still trusted her so much.
Thinking of this, Shao Yumiao felt a sweetness in her heart.
Cha Cha was really good to her, trusting her so much, even though… she had betrayed that trust.
“Yes.” For Song Cha’s trust, the aloof Shao Yumiao abandoned her conscience, “I was framed.”
Song Cha: “…”
Chu Man: “…”
Chu Man never expected Shao Yumiao to say that.
Shao Yumiao was a peerless genius in the cultivation world, her progress in cultivation was unprecedented and unmatched.
Moreover, as the young master of the Sword Sect, her reputation had always been widespread. Even Chu Man had heard of her.
But what Chu Man had heard in the past was that Shao Yumiao was aloof, Shao Yumiao loved to fight, Shao Yumiao never lied…
But now Shao Yumiao was like this…
Chu Man looked at the steward, wanting to see what he had to say.
Being stared at by Chu Man, the steward, who was kneeling on the ground, shivered and struggled to maintain his composure.
“What do you have to say?” Chu Man asked the steward.
The steward shivered again, “Elder, I have evidence of this matter.”
“Evidence? What evidence?” Chu Man was now interested.
“Elder, I saw in many storybooks that people were silenced, fearing the revenge of the Shura Sword, so I copied a hundred jade slips as evidence.” The steward tried to suppress his inner fear and spoke.
Chu Man: “…”
Shao Yumiao: “…”
Song Cha: “……”
Hearing what the steward said, the three of them were stunned.
After a while, Chu Man finally smiled, “So, you replicated the jade slip? Show it to us.”
Upon hearing Chu Man’s words, the steward unhesitatingly activated a jade slip with his spiritual energy.
Quickly, the jade slip projected the scene clearly onto the wall.
Shao Yumiao, dressed in white with a cold demeanor, stood opposite the steward, coldly instructing him on what to do and even offering a hundred high-grade spirit stones.
The steward, being at the peak of Foundation Building, couldn’t resist the temptation of a hundred high-grade spirit stones and quickly agreed.
This jade slip was truly remarkable, recording the conversation between the two with perfect clarity.
Anyone who saw this jade slip would clearly understand that Shao Yumiao was the one behind this.
Shao Yumiao’s face was icy, and she didn’t say a word.
However, Chu Man was in a good mood. She leisurely looked at Shao Yumiao, but her tone was full of regret, “Yumiao, you’ve always been so pure and noble. When did you start lying so much?”
Shao Yumiao: “……”
Shao Yumiao’s expression grew even colder, and her aura was enough to intimidate most people.
But Chu Man was clearly not one of those people.
Seeing Shao Yumiao’s beautiful yet icy demeanor, Chu Man looked at Song Cha with even more regret, “Cha’er, look at the friends you make, habitual liars. What kind of person is that? You shouldn’t associate with such people in the future.”
