My junior sister sees everyone as a heretical cultivator.

Chapter 300: Are there any Nascent Soul stage experts online?
"Speak! What exactly happened?!" Old Master An trembled with rage. "If you can't give me a straight answer, none of you can work for the An family anymore!!"

The atmosphere inside the ancestral hall instantly plummeted to freezing point.

The servants kneeling on the ground were terrified and fell silent, burying their heads even lower, afraid that the master's anger would fall on them. Fortunately, although the master was a wealthy man, he was not from a gentry family or a so-called "scholar," so at least they didn't have to worry about being buried with the young lady because of this.

After a moment of silence, the old servant who usually cleaned the ancestral hall finally spoke, trembling: "Master... I... I've been guarding the entrance to the ancestral hall the whole time, and apart from... apart from people from our household, I really... I really haven't seen any outsiders come in..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the steward in charge of purchasing panicked. Forgetting all about hierarchy, he quickly shifted the blame, saying, "Old Li! What do you mean by that?! Do you mean our own people stole Miss's body?! I've been out all day running around for Miss's funeral, buying incense and paper money, and haven't returned to the manor once!"

"I...I didn't say it was you!" Old Li was taken aback and became anxious. "But I was telling the truth! This is an important place, how could I dare to leave it even for a moment!"

"That means you weren't watching properly!" one of the guards on night watch couldn't help but interject. "Maybe someone sneaked in while you were dozing off!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Old Man Li's face turned red with anger. "I didn't dare close my eyes for a second! But you! Last night, around midnight, I clearly saw you sneaking around Miss's courtyard! Tell me! Did you discover something?!"

"I...I was just getting up in the middle of the night! Is it wrong to get up in the middle of the night?!" The night watchman's face turned pale. "Don't make false accusations!"

In an instant, the entire ancestral hall was in complete chaos.

One person accused another of being suspicious, another of being dishonest. The little conflicts that had accumulated over time were magnified infinitely at this moment, and everyone was desperately trying to shift the blame onto others.

Looking at the scene of mutual buck-passing before him, Master An felt a wave of dizziness and his blood churned in his chest.

He pointed to the door, and with all his remaining strength, let out a final roar:

"Shut up, all of you!! Then get out and search!! Turn the whole of Anhe City upside down, but find my daughter!! If you can't find her, you're all out of the An family!!"

……

The servants and servants of the An family surged onto the streets of Anhe City in a chaotic manner.

They split up and went from street to street, asking everyone they met and inquiring about every little thing they could find, trying to find even the slightest clue about the theft of the young lady's body.

At first, they naturally came up empty-handed, until one of the gatekeepers asked a tea stall owner near the Su residence.

"A suspicious person?" The shopkeeper fanned himself with a palm leaf fan, thought for a moment, and then slapped his thigh. "Oh! Now that you mention it, I remember! Just now when I came back, I think I saw that storyteller Mu Ling, yes, that's him! He was acting suspiciously, and he was with a few people, carrying a huge wooden box into the Su family mansion!"

Muling?!
The gatekeeper's mind went blank for a moment, and he instantly remembered! It was Mu Ling!

After the young lady's accident, he came to the gate of the An family mansion and made a scene, crying and shouting that he wanted to see the master and see the young lady one last time. He kept muttering something like "Yao'er could never have committed suicide." At that time, he was just a few servants who thought he was bad luck and drove him away!

You think you can see the master with this? Do you really not know the meaning of death? It's a good thing I stopped you back then, otherwise the master might have been furious if he saw you. And now look at you! You, Mu Ling! You've really grown some nerve!

How could a lady of such noble birth fall for such a poor storyteller? The authorities have already made their final judgment, and you can't produce a single piece of evidence, yet you're just making trouble!
We told you not to go in and upset the master, but you went and stole the young lady's body?! You've really got some nerve!

We servants couldn't tell that Miss was ill from missing her mother, so how could you, her fiancé, not see it either? Now that she's gone, you're acting like a love saint!
The more he thought about it, the more he realized that was exactly how it was!

It must be this Mu Ling who thought the government was unreliable and couldn't get into the An family, so he simply decided to go all out and steal the young lady's body to find that fairy from the Su family to help with the autopsy!

The mere thought of the word "autopsy" made the gatekeeper's legs tremble.

He had heard that government coroners sometimes needed to... to dissect corpses for examination! Who knew if the supernatural methods might also require such an procedure?

That was the master's most precious daughter! She was pampered and cherished in life, how could she suffer such humiliation of being disemboweled after death?! This is more painful for him than killing the master!
If... if it really was because of that heartless Mu Ling that the young lady's body was damaged...

The gatekeeper shuddered.

Even if the An family didn't have a rule about making someone be buried alive with the deceased, he could imagine that the lord, in a fit of rage, would definitely beat Mu Ling to death and make him be buried with the young lady!

Sigh, I hope... I hope that the master's anger won't reach us innocent servants!

He quickened his pace even further.

……

Anhe City, Su Mansion.

“Alright, Mr. Mu,” Su Ling’er took a deep breath and made a decision, “It’s getting late, so we shouldn’t bother you any longer. Tomorrow morning, I’ll go with you to visit the people you just mentioned and see if we can find any clues.”

She paused, her tone becoming serious: "Also, Miss An's body... I advise you to return it to the An family before they discover it. If you take the body out without permission and cause any further trouble, it will only..."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ling knew that the fairy was right, and could only suppress his grief and nod.

While Su Ling'er was still racking her brains over the murder case, on the other side, the sect chat channel in front of Lin Qingfeng was flashing wildly.

He clicked on it and was immediately drawn to a distress message in bold red.

[Offering]: Are there any Nascent Soul stage experts online?! There's some good stuff here at coordinates (XXX, XXX)! But I'm not strong enough to get it! Please help! Share this good stuff!!!
Lin Qingfeng raised an eyebrow. Isn't this the person who came to see me?
Hehehehehe! What good thing has happened to Ji? If he can't solve it himself, then I'll have to help him solve it!
