Lu Wanwan left Shen Yue's room in a rage, with a sneer on her lips.

His words were full of provocation and confidence: "Even if the jade pendant is not found, what can it do? You can't prove your innocence, right?"

These words were like a sharp blade, piercing Shen Yue's heart.

Shen Yue's eyes instantly became firm and deep when she heard this. She knew very well that Lu Wanwan's intention was to use psychological tactics to break her will and make her give up resistance in self-doubt.

But Shen Yue is not someone who is easily defeated. She has long seen through Lu Wanwan's sinister intentions.

"What is pure will become clear by itself, and what is turbid will become turbid by itself."

Shen Yue responded calmly, "The truth may be late, but it will never be absent. As long as I keep looking for evidence, one day I will reveal your true face and let everyone see your true face."

The specific scene slowly unfolds in a remote corridor of the sect.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the ground, lengthening the figures of the two people.

Lu Wanwan stood in front of Shen Yue with a sarcastic smile on her lips and her eyes full of contempt and disdain.

"Haha, Shen Yue, ah Shen Yue, you are so naive and ridiculous."

Lu Wanwan's laughter echoed in the corridor. She deliberately raised her voice, as if she wanted more people to hear her words.

"Do you think your righteous words can change anything? Don't forget, in this script, you are the vicious and evil female cultivator. How come, after waking up from a nap, you suddenly become so cowardly and start seeking justice?"

Shen Yue stood there, his eyes firm and deep, as if he could penetrate Lu Wanwan's ridicule and see straight into her heart.

She did not refute immediately, but listened quietly to Lu Wanwan's words, without any anger or retreat on her face.

"Do you think the people in the sect really care about the truth?"

Lu Wanwan continued with a sneer, "All they want is a result, a result that can make them feel at ease. As for the death of those disciples, it may be just a trivial matter in their eyes. Who will really care about their life and death?"

At this point, a hint of pride and cunning flashed in Lu Wanwan's eyes, as if she had seen Shen Yue's despair and helplessness.

However, Shen Yue just shook his head gently, his voice calm and powerful: "You are wrong, Lu Wanwan. The truth may not bring about immediate change, but it will never be absent."

Shen Yue's words were like a stream of fresh air, penetrating the dullness and depression in the corridor.

She looked at Lu Wanwan, her eyes gleaming with determination: "I will not give up the pursuit of the truth, nor will I let those innocent lives be sacrificed in vain. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will persist until I reveal your true face and clear the sect's name."

After saying this, Shen Yue turned and left.

Lu Wanwan looked at Shen Yue's determined back, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, that smile was a mixture of helplessness and ridicule.

She shook her head slightly and said in an almost prophetic tone: "If you really find out the truth, then tell the people in the underworld."

These words echoed in the air of the corridor, carrying a hint of gloom and coldness.

Then he left, exuding a kind of happiness that Shen Yue was sure to die.

Shen Yue found Wei Jue with questions about Lu Wanwan's incident.

She was well aware of Wei Jue's desire for the Sky Fire Pearl, but she also understood that some of Wei Jue's information might be crucial to her in her pursuit of the truth.

"Wei Jue, I need to ask you something about some things that happened in the sect recently, especially those related to Lu Wanwan."

Shen Yue went straight to the point, while paying attention to Wei Jue's reaction.

When Wei Jue heard this, his eyes flickered slightly, as if he was not surprised by Shen Yue's directness.

A playful smile appeared on his lips, and he was thinking about how to take advantage of this conversation.

So, he restrained his smile and pretended to be sincere and said, "Shen Yue, you have always been cautious. You came to me suddenly this time, it must be something important. I did hear about Lu Wanwan, but I don't know the specific details."

Shen Yue's heart trembled, but she did not show any panic.

She knew very well that Wei Jue would not reveal information easily, so she cleverly took advantage of Wei Jue's desire for the Sky Fire Pearl: "Wei Jue, I understand your concerns. But please believe me, it is of vital importance to me to find out the truth. Moreover, I believe you certainly don't want to see me encounter an accident because of finding out the truth, right? After all, if something really happens to me, the Sky Fire Pearl may disappear from the world forever."

When Wei Jue heard this, his expression changed slightly.

He really didn't want anything to happen to Shen Yue, because that would mean he would lose his only chance to get the Sky Fire Pearl.

But at the same time, he also knew that Shen Yue would not easily give up on finding out the truth.

After weighing the pros and cons, he slowly said, "Shen Yue, I can tell you some things I know, but you must guarantee that this information will not have any adverse effect on me."

Shen Yue nodded in agreement, she knew this was Wei Jue's bottom line.

Under Shen Yue's questioning, Wei Jue finally let out some key information.

He pondered for a moment, and looked at Shen Yue with complicated eyes, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. Finally, he sighed and said, "Shen Yue, since you asked this, I will not hide it anymore. Indeed, those things are closely related to Lu Wanwan. In order to achieve her own goals, she did not hesitate to use means to frame the innocent. As for the illusion she used, I am not very clear about the specific details, but I know that it is an extremely advanced and strange spell that can make people fall into an illusion without knowing it, and even produce hallucinations."

Shen Yue was shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect Wei Jue to admit Lu Wanwan's crime so directly, which made her have a clearer understanding of the challenges she would face next.

She clenched her fists tightly, trying to calm her anger and shock, and continued to ask: "Then do you know why she did this? What is her motive? Also, is there someone behind her instructing her?"

Wei Jue shook his head, indicating that this was all he knew.

"I don't know her motives, but I can tell you that Lu Wanwan has always been cunning and cruel. She would not do such a thing on impulse."

"As for whether there is someone behind her, that is even more difficult to judge."

"The relationships within the sect are complicated, and everyone may have their own little calculations and conflicts of interest. Lu Wanwan can act so recklessly, probably not only because of her own strength, but more likely because she has some powerful support behind her."
