Chapter 317: Chapter 172: Lu Jin’an: I fled from home, only to find I couldn’t escape my older sister’s Five-Finger Mountain?
"Young Master Lu, what do you think?"
The surrounding cultivators looked at the Seventh Miss of the Qin Clan with strange expressions. Why did she suddenly become so meek when she met Saint Lu?
Logically speaking, the Yin Family, a servant family of the Qin Clan, dared to speak boldly against Saint Lu, shouldn’t the Seventh Miss Qin be even more arrogant?
Even if this arrogant Seventh Miss Qin knows the bigger picture, she shouldn’t be so cautious all of a sudden, right?
Could Saint Lu eat her up?
Or perhaps, in some unknown dark corner, Sect Master Zheng and the Qin Clan reached some sort of agreement, which is why Seventh Miss Qin is treating Saint Lu with such an attitude at the moment.
But even so, it’s impossible for the Qin Clan to bow their heads in front of Saint Lu.
Mu Qingyue slightly furrowed her brows while ’looking’ at the young girl, who seemed to be somewhat... afraid of her junior brother?
Moreover, those pitch-black eyes were flitting back and forth across her junior brother’s face and body, showing a curious baby-like look amidst the fear.
Does Junior Brother know her... Has Junior Brother been to the Changqing Immortal Clan?
Could it be he has a marriage engagement with the Changqing Immortal Clan?
Mu Qingyue slightly tightened her grip on the sword sheath.
"Seventh Miss!" Yin Su looked at the girl in disbelief, her voice carrying a wretched tone: "You are the Seventh Miss of the Qin Clan, your bloodline is nobler than those traitors in the Upper Realm..."
The old woman pinched Yin Su’s cheeks, preventing her from making any more noise.
Yin Su struggled with "woo woo" sounds, her bruised eyes full of resentment.
For most of the children of the Changqing Immortal Clan, they, who originated at the dawn of the Human Clan, should be the rulers of the Upper Realm, and the great clans there today are considered rebellious traitors occupying the magpie’s nest.
"Noble?" Lu Jin’an glanced at Yin Su: "Human Clan is not a demon beast, with the upper bloodline having a natural suppression over lower bloodlines, yet several branches of the Changqing Immortal Clan had their source blood taken away...
In the end, the Changqing Immortal Clan is merely an existence passed down after the survival of the fittest, can nobleness alone be eaten like an Immortal Pill?"
Listening to Lu Jin’an’s voice, the old woman slightly frowned, but... the person does indeed have the right to speak like that.
The girl blinked: "Why not just kill her?"
Lu Jin’an ignored her, instead looking at Yang Guan, whose heart tightened, hurriedly saying: "Saint Lu, one cannot rely on the one-sided story of the Young Master of Wuji Demon Sect...
Wang Liang, Yang Yi, and Liu Gong’s statements are all one-sided and without evidence, they absolutely cannot be used to convict!"
"Your own mother directly destroyed the evidence." Li Wuyi scoffed: "Destroying evidence is regarded as evidence, what defense do you have?"
"She, she..." Yang Guan tried to remain calm: "Yin Su is my mother, but she vanished without a trace after I was five... She didn’t know what happened, everything she did was out of an overprotective heart, not intentional."
He knew clearly, no matter how intensely he cursed internally, he could never deny or excessively belittle his relationship with Yin Su, for doing so would only further jeopardize his position.
"Saint Lu." Li Wuyi looked at Lu Jin’an: "Whether Yang Guan is colluding with the Demon Path can be clarified with a Soul Search, and conveniently, this year’s first prize is the Soul Nourishing Green Lotus, it won’t cause significant aftereffects to his Sea of Consciousness.
What do you think?"
Yang Guan couldn’t help but clench his hands tight, how could he allow his soul to be searched?
The identity of a Possessor from the Upper Realm would result in an even more swift death than colluding with the Demon Path!
Lu Jin’an moved his gaze away from Yang Guan’s face and raised his hand, saying to the old woman: "Let go of her first."
"Let go, let go!" The girl quickly ordered while glancing at Lu Jin’an and hesitantly whispered: "Haven’t you stayed outside long enough, have pity on her?"
Lu Jin’an shook her head while pinching her, speaking to Yin Su: "Let’s not mention the matter of you stealing the Qin Clan Token. Since you destroyed the evidence, now prove your son’s innocence yourself."
"Saint Lu..." Li Wuyi’s face slightly changed; it’s natural for a parent to shield their child, and since Yin Su had been so protective just now, would she truly conduct an honest Soul Search on Yang Guan?
Lu Jin’an gave Yang Guan a glance without speaking but messed up the girl’s hair into a bird’s nest.
Li Wuyi suddenly understood internally; Seventh Miss Qin had given face to Saint Lu, so now it was time for Saint Lu to reciprocate, letting the Changqing Immortal Clan handle their internal affairs themselves.
Yin Su looked at the Seventh Miss being ruffled like a small animal by Lu Jin’an, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but seeing the still smiling Seventh Miss, she felt as if she had a bone stuck in her throat.
Seventh Miss has an arrogant nature and, though she hasn’t done anything that breaks principles, wherever she went in the clan, even dogs stayed far away.
Not to mention others, even the Clan Leader was sometimes driven mad by her.
Yet such a Seventh Miss... has this side as well?
"Are your ears deaf? Didn’t you hear me talking to you!?" The girl glared at Yin Su: "Hurry up and do as I instructed, why are you standing there idly?"
Yin Su lowered her brows and eyes, quickly responding: "Yes, yes, Miss."
She turned to look at Yang Guan, her gaze unconsciously softening: "Guan’er, mother believes in you."
Seeing Yin Su’s expression, Yang Guan’s heart felt a bit panicked, but he still put on a smile and said: "Mother, I’m definitely not colluding with the Demon Path."
"Mother believes in you."
"Stop wasting the young lady’s time." The old woman said expressionlessly.
Yang Guan took a deep breath, glancing at Lu Jin’an getting along with Seventh Miss Qin harmoniously, wanting to speculate on their relationship, but he still had hurdles to overcome.
Right now, he could only accept the Soul Search.
He wasn’t worried about the cooperation with the Wuji Demon Sect being exposed, for he only personally collaborated on the matter of murder within the Secret Realm; the Yang Family and Baoyuan Sect hadn’t yet collaborated with Wuji Demon Sect at that time.
