Holding the space chat group, the cannon fodder female supporting role ascended

Chapter 950 One goes down and the other goes up
Yunxi looked at the trapping formation that had not been put away, her expression unchanged, but a hint of regret flashed in her eyes. Originally, she thought that after helping the Wanqi family tear a piece of flesh from the Jin family, she would make the Wanqi family owe her a favor, and she could stay on the Wanqi family's territory for a while, and leave when the time was right.

However, judging from Wan Qiwei's behavior, it was clear that the other party did not take her seriously. But she could understand, after all, she was just a minor Golden Immortal, and her identity jade token was still in the other party's hands. So she could only endure it for the time being. As long as she got her identity jade token, this small trapping formation would not be able to stop her.

Wan Qiwei had already appeared in the council hall. Everyone had seen the distress signal that had appeared in the air earlier, so the bickering was put on hold.

The man representing the Jin family to negotiate was Jin Long, a male cultivator at the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal Realm. When he saw the distress signal that appeared in the Wanqi family, a look of joy flashed in his eyes, proving that the people they had arranged had succeeded.

Therefore, he did not appear overly aggressive, but simply spoke politely to Wan Qiyou at the head of the table:
"Elder You, since the Wanqi family has to deal with their family affairs, we can talk about it again tomorrow."

Wan Qiyou seemed to realize that something was wrong, and paused in stroking his beautiful beard. However, he understood the principle of "one effort, then decline, then exhaustion," and therefore calmly said:
“These are minor issues and shouldn’t affect us. The longer things drag on, the worse it will be for both of us, so it would be best to get a result today.”

The moment he finished speaking, Wan Qiwei darted into the council hall, cupped his hands in greeting, and said:
"Elder You, the only survivor in the mine has been ambushed."

After hearing the report, Wan Qiyou asked in a cold voice:

"Is it okay?"

“She was able to protect herself and was fine. She even gave me something.”

After speaking, he activated the earring made of the image jade in his palm, allowing all the immortals in the hall to watch the entire process of Yunxi being sold into the mine from a first-person perspective. Among them were the faces of Si Shijiu, Jin Lai, Zhu Zhen, Mu Yangchen and the Jin family's subordinates. It was until Jin Lai began to search the soul and killed two immortals who had no power to resist. At this moment, Wan Qiyou made a grand entrance on a warship.

The scene ends here. Everyone knows that a conflict occurred between the two sides without needing to watch the rest, otherwise Jin Lai wouldn't have been detained at Wanqi's house.

Wan Qiyou was in a good mood. Looking at the golden dragon, whose arrogance had subsided, she said calmly:
"Jinlong, should we find a trustworthy immortal to verify the authenticity of the image-recording jade and see if it's something we made up?"

Jinlong gritted his teeth but didn't reply. Wanqiwei, standing nearby, spoke up at the opportune moment:

"Everyone, this image-recording jade earring was made by cultivators from the lower realms. Although the technique is crude, their cultivation level is not enough to alter the contents of the image-recording jade. You may pass it around and take a look."

After saying that, he handed the jade earring with the image to Xue Ling, the deputy city lord of Wanhao Immortal City, who had been invited to act as a peacemaker.

Xue Ling, dressed in a light blue immortal robe, had an unapproachable appearance and a rather leisurely temperament. He smiled as he accepted the earrings, examined them carefully for a while, and even probed them with his divine sense before nodding and saying:
"It was indeed made by a cultivator from the lower realm, but it's already quite good to be able to achieve this level. The cultivator who made this earring probably considered the image-recording function more, so they didn't add any random things."

After saying that, she pushed the earrings in front of the golden dragon.

With a single sweep of his divine sense, Jinlong knew that Vice City Lord Xue's words were true.

Wan Qiyou then spoke:

“The owner of these earrings is the only survivor I rescued from the mine. She is currently staying at my Wanqi family’s house and can come out to testify at any time. The distress signal just now came from her yard. Someone wants to silence her.”

After speaking, he gave Jinlong a meaningful look, the implication of which was clear to everyone. Jinlong remained composed; upon seeing the contents of the image-recording jade, he knew the Wanqi family had caught him red-handed, and immediately changed his tune, saying:

"Elder You, please don't be offended. It's our Jin family's fault for believing Jin Lai's one-sided story and not investigating the matter thoroughly."

However, we can't blame ourselves for being reckless. There have been occasional conflicts between our two families before. Although both sides were at fault, the relationship was indeed quite tense. So this time, we thought the Wanqi family wanted to use this incident to their advantage.”

Wan Qiyou merely snorted coldly, offering no reply, but instead instructed Wan Qiwei:
"Make a copy of the contents of the recording jade and give it to Elder Jin so that he can go back and explain the situation to his family. We understand that he was unaware of the full picture before, so he naturally wanted to protect the Jin family disciples. But now that the facts are in front of us, we hope that the Jin family can give the Wanqi family an explanation."

He said this not only to Wan Qiwei but also to Jinlong.

Wan Qiwei responded cooperatively:

"Elder You, rest assured, I had already made the rubbings before I came to report."

After speaking, he took out two higher-grade image-recording jades, presented one to Jinlong, and gave the other to Deputy City Lord Xue Ling.

Jinlong waved his sleeve, rolled up the rubbing of the image jade, and rose to take his leave.
“In that case, I, Jin, will go ahead first. The elders of the clan should also know the whole story so that they can give the Wanqi family an explanation.”

Staying would not bring any good, so Jinlong left the council hall after speaking and returned to the clan territory with the Jin family disciples.

After the golden dragon left, Wan Qiyou sighed and turned to Xue Ling, saying:
"Lord Xue, you were here the whole time today, and you saw the true colors of the Jin family. Even when I said there were witnesses, they still managed to twist the facts and say that the witnesses were hired by the Wanqi family to frame them. It's clear that they've done this kind of thing many times before."

This time, it was thanks to the meticulousness of my Wanqi family disciple that we were able to trace the clues and find the immortal stone mine that had been illegally mined. What if we hadn't discovered it?

Does this mean the entire immortal stone vein will become the Jin family's possession, enriching them? Perhaps in the future they will turn around and accuse us of illegally mining the immortal stone vein without reporting to the city lord's mansion or paying mining fees. Wouldn't we be wronged?
Lord Xue, don't blame me for sowing discord. From what we just saw, Jin Lai is fearless and has been doing this kind of thing for a long time. He may have even been preparing to silence them.

"Then can I suspect that the Jin family did the same thing before and succeeded, luckily without anyone discovering it, or that those who noticed were silenced, which is why their appetite has grown ever larger."

Wan Qiyou's reasonable analysis made Xue Ling think it made sense. The Jin family's development momentum in Wanhao Immortal City has been getting faster and faster in the past two years. If they were to obtain cultivation resources in this way, it would be understandable.

Wan Qiyou then added fuel to the fire at just the right moment:

"I'm just curious, the immortal stone vein they're digging is on my Wanqi family's territory, yet even we ourselves couldn't find it. How did the Jin family find it? Could it be that they have some kind of treasure for finding immortal stone veins?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Ling's eyes flashed, and he immediately said:

"Elder You, it's fine if you just tell me this. After all, it hasn't been verified, and it wouldn't be good if it got out."
