Chapter 442 There is no silver here 32
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but look puzzled. There was one person in the crowd who saw the tracking butterfly flying towards him, and his heart panicked. He subconsciously turned around and ran away.
This sudden situation shocked everyone. Mo Lintian reacted the fastest. When Yun Jizhou said "Catch her", he had already caught the person.
"Oh!"
Mo Lintian threw the man directly to the center. The other party fell heavily to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
At this moment, the tracking butterfly flew over and landed on her shoulder. Everyone understood what this scene meant, that is, this woman had also touched the white magnolia hairpin.
"Who are you?" Patriarch Li asked coldly, looking at the woman lying on the ground with her head lowered, "Is this white magnolia hairpin yours?"
"No, no, it's not mine."
The woman denied it in panic. She shook her head vigorously but still didn't dare to look up.
"Why don't you dare look up?" Wang Yue asked, "Are you afraid that people will recognize you?"
As Patriarch Wang spoke, he stepped forward, pulled the person up, and forced her to raise her head.
When that pretty face was revealed, someone in the crowd immediately recognized her identity.
"Huh? Isn't this Young Master Liu's sister, the fourth young lady of the Liu family, Liu Yanxin?"
It turned out to be the fourth young lady of the Liu family? !
Everyone looked surprised, and suspicious eyes swirled between Ling Xiaohan and the siblings Liu Yanshu and Liu Yanxin.
Could it be... that the Liu family and the temple are really framing Miss Yun?
"Young Master Liu, Miss Liu, shouldn't you explain?" Yun Ruopiao said coldly.
Liu Yanshu: "..." How the hell do I explain this?!
Liu Yanshu glared at Liu Yanxin angrily. At this moment, he really wanted to kill his sister. She was a person who could not do anything good but always made trouble. Why did she mess around for no reason? Now, all the plans of their Liu family were ruined!
Facing her brother's angry eyes, Liu Yanxin lowered her head in fear, but she felt aggrieved in her heart. She had been jealous of Yun Ruopiao for more than ten or twenty years, and now she finally knew that Yun Ruopiao was going to be in trouble, so she naturally wanted to see the other person's miserable appearance.
Besides, she didn't know the Yun family would find Mizongdie! Now that the truth has been revealed, how can they put all the blame on her?
Seeing that Liu Yanshu and Liu Yanxin didn't say anything, everyone had an idea in their minds. They were feeling guilty, and the white magnolia hairpin was most likely Liu Yanxin's.
"Miss Liu Si," Patriarch Li said in a deep voice, his tone a bit colder. "I'm asking you again, is the hairpin in my hand yours?"
A trace of panic quickly flashed across Liu Yanxin's face, and she shook her head and said, "No, it's not mine."
"Then please explain, Miss Liu Si..." Patriarch Li pointed at the purple butterfly still resting on Liu Yanxin's right shoulder and said coldly, "Why did this tracking butterfly land on your shoulder?"
"I...I..." Liu Yanxin hesitated and couldn't find a reasonable excuse for a long time.
"Why, Miss Liu Si can't answer?" Patriarch Li sneered, "Then why don't I help you answer it?"
"Patriarch Wang said he personally saw Miss Yun buy this white magnolia hairpin at Linlang Pavilion. But everyone just saw that after the Seeker Butterfly smelled the residual scent on the hairpin, it didn't fly towards Miss Yun, but landed on your Fourth Miss Liu's shoulder. So..."
Patriarch Li paused, his eyes fixed on Liu Yanxin. He gritted his teeth and said, "The person who appeared in Linlang Pavilion that day was not Miss Yun at all. It was you, Fourth Miss Liu, pretending to be her. The person who actually bought this white magnolia hairpin was you, Liu Yanxin!"
"No, no, no, it's not me, it's not me..."
Liu Yanxin waved her hands and shook her head, her face full of panic and guilt, she was really trying to cover up her guilt.
"what?"
A surprised voice suddenly rang out. Master Baili looked at Liu Yanxin and said as if he had discovered something, "It seems that the girl from the Liu family has a similar figure to the girl from the Yun family."
Ok?
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Yun Ruopiao and Liu Yanxin. Then, after comparing them, they found that it was just as Master Baili said. Apart from their looks, Liu Yanxin and Yun Ruopiao were very similar in height and body shape.
"Liu Yanxin, that day in Linlang Pavilion, the person who deliberately argued with my wife and daughter and snatched the white magnolia hairpin was really you!"
Patriarch Wang seemed to be doubting, but he said it in the affirmative, which meant that he had already determined in his heart that the person that day was Liu Yanxin.
"Liu Yanxin, where is my daughter? Where did you take my daughter?" The head of the Li family rushed over, grabbed Liu Yanxin's arm and asked angrily.
"No, it's not me!" Liu Yanxin struggled hard. She looked at Liu Yanshu for help and shouted, "Brother, brother, save me."
Liu Yanshu's face turned dark and he wanted to kill Liu Yanxin. He even wanted to become invisible, but his good sister still wanted to draw other people's attention to him. Was he going to die and wanted to drag someone else down with him?
As expected, everyone looked at Liu Yanshu with suspicion. Yun Yijing even asked bluntly, "Master Liu, are you aware that your sister is pretending to be my sister? Or... is this all a conspiracy of your Liu family?"
"No, it's not." Liu Yanshu retorted loudly. He forced himself to calm down, then glared at Yun Yijing in feigned anger and said, "Second Young Master Yun, stop talking nonsense. My Liu family didn't do anything. How can you condemn my family just based on a butterfly?"
"Huh?" Yun Yijing laughed angrily, "Is that an ordinary butterfly? That's a seeker butterfly."
"Heh!" Liu Yanshu sneered and made a specious argument, "Who knows if this Tracking Butterfly is real or not? Even if it is real, it's well known that Master Baili has a good relationship with your Yun family. It's not impossible that he tampered with the Tracking Butterfly to help your Yun family exonerate themselves."
Hearing these words, Master Baili's face turned livid. He raised his hand and pointed at Liu Yanshu with a trembling voice, "Liu family boy, are you questioning me?"
Seeing Master Baili's angry expression, Liu Yanshu finally realized that he seemed to have offended him. He was a Saint-level pharmacist! Many people fawned over him, but he was not someone their Liu family could afford to offend.
However, the words had already been spoken, and even if Liu Yanshu regretted it, it was too late. Moreover, the most important thing now was to clear the Liu family of suspicion first. As for Master Baili, he could only find a way to apologize later.
"Master Baili, please calm down." Liu Yanshu clasped his fists and apologized, saying, "I didn't mean to question you, Master Baili. I was just raising a reasonable suspicion. After all, given your relationship with the Yun family, it's only natural that you'd want to help them."
"Fuck your motherfucker!"
Master Baili, who has always been dignified and steady, was so angry at Liu Yanshu that he burst into swearing. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed anger and dissatisfaction, as if endless rage was burning in his heart.
"Young man from the Liu family, everyone in the entire continent knows that I hate evil as much as I hate evil. I will not help anyone who has committed heinous crimes, is disloyal, unjust, unkind, or unfilial. If the Yun family really did such evil, I would not help them at all, but would avoid them like the plague."
After hearing Master Baili's words, the others nodded in agreement.
"Yes! We can still trust Master Baili's character."
"If we were to ask who is the most impartial person in the world, it would definitely be Master Baili."
"That's right. If Master Baili had been willing to intervene when the Baili family was attacked by the major families, the family wouldn't have been destroyed. It's just a pity that the Baili family committed so many evil deeds and were so inhumane. Master Baili hated them so much that he severed all ties with them and never interfered with their affairs again."
Therefore, they would never believe that a person who is upright towards his family and relatives would help cover up the crimes of others.
After being reminded by other people around him, Liu Yanshu also remembered the former Baili family. A trace of panic quickly flashed across his face, and he knew in his heart that it would be difficult for the Liu family to clear suspicion today.
"Hmph!" Master Baili snorted coldly and said unhappily, "Liu family boy, instead of trying every possible way to slander me, why don't you think about how to get rid of the Liu family!"
"I……"
Liu Yanshu opened his mouth, but before he could come up with a suitable response, a cold voice sounded faintly.
"By the way, Master Baili, since the Tracking Butterfly can smell the scent left on the hairpin, can it also smell the scent of others left on a person?"
Hearing Su Qingning's question, Master Baili frowned and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Logically speaking, it should be possible."
Hearing this, Su Qingning smiled. She looked at Master Baili and said with a hint of request in her tone, "Master Baili, I would like to ask your Tracking Butterfly for another favor."
"Oh?" Master Baili raised an eyebrow curiously. "What do you want Mizongdie to do for you?"
Listening to the conversation between Su Qingning and Master Baili, Liu Yanshu and Ling Xiaohan both had a bad feeling in their hearts. Could it be what they thought?!
At this moment, they still had a glimmer of hope in their hearts, but when Su Qingning pointed her finger at the lonely body of the young child lying on the ground, they felt as if a bolt of thunder had struck them, and their hanging hearts finally died.
"Master Baili, I hope Mizongdie can find the real murderer who killed that child and clear my mother's name." Su Qingning said.
When the others heard Su Qingning's words, they couldn't help but think of the image they had seen before. They thought, since the 'Yun Ruopiao' who went to Linlang Pavilion to buy a hairpin was Liu Yanxin in disguise, could she also be the one in the image who killed the children to practice evil magic?
"No, no, no, it's not me."
Hearing the discussions around him, Liu Yanxin was so scared that he waved his hands repeatedly, "It's not me, I didn't kill anyone."
"Ha! Let the Seeking Butterfly smell it and we'll know if it's you." Someone said sarcastically.
"Yes, let the Seeking Butterfly smell it and you'll know." Everyone agreed.
How could Liu Yanxin win the argument with so many people alone? She could only watch Master Baili release another tracking butterfly; however, she was not too panicked because she was sure that the tracking butterfly would not land on her this time.
She was not nervous, but some people were very nervous. Liu Yanshu and Ling Xiaohan stared intently at the purple butterfly that slowly flew out of the cage, secretly gathering strength in their hands, ready to kill it at any time.
Just as the tracking butterfly was about to land on the child's body on the ground, Liu Yanshu and Ling Xiaohan attacked at the same time.
The white spiritual power and the red spiritual power attacked the Seeking Butterfly together, but halfway through, the two spiritual powers collided, and the Seeking Butterfly remained safe and sound.
"What are you doing?!"
Master Baili was shocked. He quickly stood in front of the Tracking Butterfly and glared at Liu Yanshu and Ling Xiaohan angrily, as if he was afraid that they would hurt his Tracking Butterfly again.
After Liu Yanshu and Ling Xiaohan failed once, they never had another chance to attack again. They could only watch the Tracking Butterfly land on the child's body, and then the two of them stared at each other.
Everything that happened next was something Liu Yanshu and Ling Xiaohan didn't want to face.
The purple tracking butterfly stayed on the child's body for a while, then slowly flew up. It turned in the air, as if it was identifying the direction based on the breath.
Everyone stared at the tracking butterfly in the sky. Just when they thought the tracking butterfly would fly towards Yun Ruopiao or Liu Yanxin, they saw the tracking butterfly slowly flying towards the direction where Liu Yanshu was.
Liu Yanshu panicked and raised his hand slightly, wanting to kill Mizongdie, but when he was about to do it, he stopped. He thought, if he killed Mizongdie at this moment, wouldn't he be confessing his crime?
However, if he did not kill it and let the tracking butterfly fly over, he would also be suspected by everyone; in this way, it seemed that no matter what he did, he could not change the outcome.
Ling Xiaohan was as conflicted as Liu Yanshu. He felt that it was neither right to kill nor right not to kill the Tracking Butterfly. However, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. Perhaps Liu Yanshu's scent covered his, and the Tracking Butterfly could not smell it!
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as luck. The tracking butterfly circled around Liu Yanshu, then slowly flapped its wings and flew towards Ling Xiaohan.
Ling Xiaohan stared at the purple butterfly that was getting closer and closer to him. A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. Then, he raised his hand and shot a stream of spiritual power towards the tracking butterfly.
“Ah!” Master Baili yelled, and he rushed towards Ling Xiaohan angrily, holding a red magic wand in his hand. “Ling Xiaohan, you bastard, you dare to touch my tracking butterfly? I will kill you!”
Master Baili actually cursed again, which shows how much he likes this pair of tracking butterflies.
Fortunately, Mo Lintian and Su Qingning kept their eyes on Ling Xiaohan, and when he took action, Mo Lintian also took action in time to rescue Mizongdie.
After missing the attack, Ling Xiaohan never had another chance to attack again, because Master Baili rushed over, waving the magic wand in his hand, and shooting magic skills at Ling Xiaohan one after another.
Ling Xiaohan had no choice but to deal with Master Baili first. Just as the two were fighting, the Tracking Butterfly slowly landed on Ling Xiaohan's shoulder.
