Chapter 973: Condemned
Once she saw the way Luo Ming talked, Sima You Yue knew that he wasn’t a friendly person. In fact, it seemed like he held deep hostility towards Heavenly Sect.
“Yes, we are from Heavenly Sect.” A student answered.
Luo Ming looked around the room, then came to Sima You Yue and said, “Out of all the times you could get injured, it must be at this time, it’s suspicious!”
Sima You Yue blinked her eyes, stared at him with a blank face and said, “What do you mean? What’s the problem with me being injured?”
“There’s no problem with you being injured, but you got injured at this time and this place. That’s why there’s a problem.” Luo Ming said with an intention to point out something.
“Luo Ming, what do you mean?” Han Miao Shuang stared at Luo Ming, unhappy with his eccentric behaviour.
“Young Miss Han, we meet again.” Luo Ming seemed like he just noticed Han Miao Shuang, “No, you’re no longer Young Miss Han anymore, right, Han Miao Shuang?”
“Even if I’m not Young Miss Han, a small commander like yourself has no right to call my name!” Han Miao Shuang continued, “A bastard has no right to call my name.”
“Your tongue is still as sharp as ever!” Luo Ming looked at Han Miao Shuang. When he saw how she protected Sima You Yue, he said, “Now we suspect that the people from your sect have colluded with the person who stole the bodhi mushroom, you guys have to go back with us!”
“What do you mean colluded?!” Han Miao Shuang continued, “Luo Ming, your ability to accuse people is still that good!”
“The person who stole bodhi mushroom is here?” Sima You Yue looked around the room, shook her head and said, “Commander Luo, you mean to say that I’ve colluded with the person who stole the bodhi mushroom, right?”
“That’s right.” Luo Ming said, “Now, you have to go back with me and cooperate with our investigation!”
“Although I really don’t want to say it, Commander Luo, you are accusing me, and that’s a fact.” Sima You Yue continued, “I don’t know the person you mentioned, how am I supposed to collude with him? And also, we just reached Cloud Sea city, just stepped into the inn and heard about an incident about the bodhi mushroom being stolen, how is it possible that we colluded with that person?”
“Since I’ve said it, that means it is so!” Luo Ming said impatiently.
“What is your suspicion based on?!” Sima You Yue said angrily, “I’m also an Alchemist, I came here to participate in the alchemy contest, not for you to accuse me wrongly!”
“What’s it based on? Hah! Based on the person missing around here and based on the smell of blood in this room! It’s enough to show that you have colluded with him!” Luo Ming laughed coldly.
“Just based on these?” Sima You Yue laughed coldly, “You have to catch adultery in the act, and to catch thieves, you must find the stolen goods. If you want to say that I colluded with that person, then please show me evidence. Just based on the smell of blood, you can’t touch me. Didn’t you say he’s in my room? Then please find him!”
“He knows that we are coming, would he still stand here stupidly to wait for us?” Luo Ming continued, “He would have already escaped.”
“Wasn’t the whole inn filled with your people? Then you should go and ask if anyone came out of my room. If there wasn’t, I think if you casually accuse a participant of an alchemy contest, you won’t be able to bear the consequences!” Sima You Yue said.
“Luo Ming, I know you are at odds with our sect. But even if you want to accuse us, please find a better excuse. It’s so obvious, I don’t believe the guild will be biased towards you! Don’t try to gain an advantage and end up worse! Our sect is not a pushover!” Han Miao Shuang said.
They didn’t have solid evidence and they didn’t see that person in the room. Plus they just reached Cloud Sea City. Saying that they colluded with him was indeed impossible. Even if he brought them back and tortured them, it would just give them a reason to bite him back.
Even though Luo Ming hated the sect’s people, he wasn’t stupid enough to drag himself in.
After thinking it over and over again, he told the guards that were with him, “We’ll go to other places and search!”
After saying it, he brought his people out.
“Take care, Commander Luo!” The shopkeeper bowed to Luo Ming’s back, after they left, he turned around and looked at the mess in the room and said helplessly, “You just came in and it became….”
“Shopkeeper, this is compensation for you. Also, change my Little Junior Brother to another room.” Han Miao Shuang took out a bunch of crystals and put them in the shopkeeper’s embrace.
After the shopkeeper saw so many crystals, his tensed up face immediately relaxed. He smiled and said, “Alright alright, I’ll immediately change a room for you guys.”
He took the crystals and went downstairs.
After Sima You Yue changed to a new room, the other students went back to their own room. Save for Han Miao Shuang, Su Xiao Xiao and Little Seven, the scapegoat.
After Han Miao Shuang closed the door, she casually set up a spirit barrier and came beside Sima You Yue and asked, “Little Junior Brother, what exactly happened just now? Don’t tell me it was an accidental explosion, this excuse can only be used on others.”
Sima You Yue knew she couldn’t hide from them either, it was good enough that they were willing to put on a pretense.
“I never intended to hide it from you all.” She said, “The one who stole the bodhi mushroom was in my room just now.”
“What? So what Luo Ming said was true?! You colluded with others to steal the bodhi mushroom?” Han Miao Shuang’s eyes widened.
“I just reached here, how could I have colluded with someone else.” Sima You Yue continued, “But the one who stole the bodhi mushroom, is my friend, a very good friend.”
“Then where is he now?” Su Xiao Xiao asked.
Sima You Yue gave it a thought and brought them into the spirit pagoda.
Han Miao Shuang and Su Xiao Xiao knew that she had her own Little Realm, but they didn’t know she had a place like this.
“Third Rogue was poisoned. I just gave him an antidote and the pill for healing, but Little Spirit told me that the poison in him was not totally removed.” Sima You Yue was talking to both of them when they were looking around curiously, “You guys understand the alchemist Guild more, can you guys take a look what kind of poison he got?”
“Little Junior Brother, you actually have such a precious place, it’s better than Little Realm!” Han Miao Shuang exclaimed.
“I’ll tell you guys about this later, you guys help me take a look at my friend’s situation.” Sima You Yue said.
She only got out for a while, but Third Mo was already inside for a day. Normally his injuries should be fully recovered by then, but Little Spirit told her that Third Mo was in a critical condition. That was why she wanted them to come in and take a look.
Little Seven went to play with Little Roar and she took Han Miao Shuang and Su Xiao Xiao to a courtyard where Third Mo was situated.
Going to his room, once they opened the door, all they saw was a guy with a pale complexion lying on the bed unconscious.
“This indeed looks dangerous. Let us take a look.”
Han Miao Shuang and Su Xiao Xiao checked up on Third Mo together. From their eyes, you could tell that they were extremely shocked.
