Chapter 6

Seeing Long Hao's grievous appearance and hearing the voices of everyone around, Li Xueru was on the verge of madness. Her eyes displayed an expression of incomparable anger.

She couldn't comprehend why Long Hao would act like this. In her mind, Long Hao had always been the teenager willing to sacrifice his life for her, even willing to die for her. How could he turn so shameless?

Yes, shameless!

Li Xueru could see through Long Hao's pretense of a poor and innocent look, sneering and disdainful. It was a mockery of her tragic situation.

"Li Xueru, how dare you steal the Transforming Dragon Pill from Junior Sister Lu Yao? What do you have to say for yourself now?" Qi Lin stared at Li Xueru, his voice cold.

In Li Xueru's hand were jade bottles containing Transforming Dragon Pills; she had no chance to hide them.

"Senior Brother Qi Lin, I swear I didn't steal the Transforming Dragon Pill! Long Hao is framing me, trying to please me and stealing the pill from Senior Sister Lu Yao's house. This Hidden Spirit Ring he gave me has his aura. You can check by having him drop blood to recognize the Master in the Hidden Spirit Ring!"

Li Xueru's eyes showed an expression of genuine confusion, portraying a pitiful look. She then handed the Hidden Spirit Ring to Qi Lin.

"Hidden Spirit Ring? It's a low-grade Spirit Artifact, but it's quite special. It can conceal aura and even penetrate ordinary arrays. If this Hidden Spirit Ring really belongs to Long Hao, then I'll provisionally believe your words."

Qi Lin's eyes shone, and he spoke indifferently.

"Junior Sister Ling Shu, let's check for Long Hao's aura in this Hidden Spirit Ring!"

Qi Lin handed the Hidden Spirit Ring to the white-robed woman beside him.

"Is her name Ling Shu? What a beautiful name!" Long Hao's heart stirred. This Senior Sister Ling Shu was not only beautiful but also kind. She seemed much better than the slut Li Xueru.

Nevertheless, Long Hao remained calm on the surface. He observed Li Xueru with disdain, wondering if she thought he wouldn't anticipate such a move. Long Hao had not established a blood connection with the Hidden Spirit Ring, and any aura he left on it was erased.

Ling Shu carefully examined the Hidden Spirit Ring. Then, she said, "Senior Brother Qi Lin, there is no trace of Long Hao's aura on the Hidden Spirit Ring, only Li Xueru's."

"What?! This is impossible!"

Li Xueru was shocked, her eyes revealing an expression of disbelief, screaming suddenly.

Long Hao, being only at the Fleshy Body Realm 4th Layer, couldn't have broken the array in Senior Sister Lu Yao's house. In Li Xueru's mind, Long Hao used the Hidden Spirit Ring to sneak into Lu Yao's residence and steal the Transforming Dragon Pill. Otherwise, how could an outer sect disciple of Fleshy Body Realm 4th Layer break into Lu Yao's house?

"If you don't believe it, check it yourself!"

Ling Shu said indifferently, handing the Hidden Spirit Ring to Li Xueru.

Li Xueru accepted the Hidden Spirit Ring, and with her blood, the ring emitted a light as if responding to her thoughts. It indeed carried the aura she had left.

However, there was no trace of Long Hao's aura in the Hidden Spirit Ring.

Li Xueru was dumbfounded.

"Younger Sister Xueru, are you still not convinced? I loved you sincerely, and how do you repay me? I suggest you confess; I'll plead with Senior Brother Qi Lin and Senior Sister Ling Shu to go easy on you!"

Long Hao said with a tone of sadness.

"Long Hao, you're a shameless liar! Fine, you want to frame me, I won't fall for it! Senior Brother Qi Lin, I admit it. I allowed Long Hao to steal the Transforming Dragon Pill. I know I'm guilty, but Long Hao is an accomplice. I hope Senior Brother Qi Lin will punish Long Hao as well!"

Li Xueru gnashed her teeth, her eyes filled with a sorrowful look when she glanced at Long Hao.

She finally understood what it meant to be vocal. She couldn't believe that Long Hao was so cunning. Without the Hidden Spirit Ring recognizing him as the Master, she couldn't understand how he had managed to do it.

"Younger Sister Xueru, have you nothing more to say? Why would I frame you? I have no reason to steal the Transforming Dragon Pill."

Long Hao's face displayed an expression of incomparable anger and pity, disappointment in his eyes.

He even praised himself. This acting was killing it, comparable to Earth's Shadow Emperor. Even Li Xueru, the white lotus, was turned by him.

"Long Hao, don't try to deny it! You may not have a Hidden Spirit Ring recognizing you as the Master, but you brought out the Transforming Dragon Pill. You must have the aura of the pill on you. I might not be able to detect it, but I believe Pill Palace's Senior Brother and Senior Sister can."

Li Xueru sneered, confident.

Qi Lin was becoming impatient. If Gou Shengtian weren't behind Li Xueru, he would have already dealt with her directly.

"You said Long Hao brought out the Transforming Dragon Pill. If he had the pill's aura, he would escape the blame. But if he doesn't have the pill's aura on him, what will you do?" Qi Lin said expressionlessly.

"Senior Brother Qi Lin, if he doesn't have the aura of the Transforming Dragon Pill on him, then I will take it bluntly and let it go!"

Li Xueru said confidently.

"Long Hao, what do you say?" Qi Lin looked at Long Hao indifferently.

"I have no objections. In order to prove my innocence, I am willing to undergo the inspection."

Long Hao sighed lightly.

"Very well!"

Qi Lin took the jade bottle from Li Xueru's hand and opened it. The light golden Transforming Dragon Pill appeared in his palm, emitting a dazzling light and a unique fragrance. Everyone's eyes were fixated on it.

Qi Lin looked at Ling Shu, and after receiving her nod, he approached Long Hao. Ling Shu extended her slender jade hand, producing a seal. A light golden pill aura separated from the Transforming Dragon Pill and flew toward Long Hao.

This was a special method. If Long Hao had the aura of the Transforming Dragon Pill, it would be drawn out by this pill aura and separated from his body.

The light golden pill aura circled around Long Hao for several laps, but there was no unusual reaction from him. Eventually, the pill aura dissipated.

There was no aura of the Transforming Dragon Pill on Long Hao's body!

"Li Xueru, what else do you have to say?" Qi Lin said coldly, exuding powerful aura fluctuations.

Qi Lin was not only an inner sect disciple but also the Eldest Senior Brother of Pill Palace. He had an inexplicable affection for Lu Yao. Now that it was confirmed Li Xueru was the real thief of the Transforming Dragon Pill, Qi Lin felt an intense disgust towards her.
