Do you really think you can get me with just a banana?

Currently, there are only two people who hold the travel token of Tianjian Pavilion, one is Elder Si Xuanqing and the other is the eldest disciple Xu Fengyu.

One died and the other broke his leg and was recuperating at the foot of the mountain.

Yan Ruchen should not have a travel token in his hand, but he was able to cross the barrier so easily just now and walked in with Hu Qi and the others. So whose token is in his hand?

Song Ziye knew clearly in his mind that this token definitely did not belong to Chen Rongrong or Hu Qi. Those people were obviously Yan Ruchen's followers.

Even though he had just cleared one disciple of suspicion, he now suspected something was wrong with another disciple. However, since he was involved in the investigation, any doubts had to be resolved.

So, Song Ziye continued to ask, "When I was questioning Junior Brother Guan yesterday, Junior Sister Rongrong from Qionghua Peak accidentally revealed that when Junior Brother Guan was picking the ripening immortal herbs late at night, was it Brother Ruchen who assisted him?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to Yan Ruchen.

Despite previous torture, Guan Shanyu refused to reveal who helped him, claiming only that he had done it all on his own, refusing to utter a single word except to protest his innocence. Now, Yan Ruchen has surfaced, implicating him in the incident. Could this be Guan Shanyu's attempt to shield Yan Ruchen? Is there some unspoken secret here?

Guan Shanyu had his own plans in mind. He knew that he couldn't drag Yan Ruchen into this. He was afraid that if Yan Ruchen was beaten three times a day and imprisoned for trial like him, what would happen if the real demons came out to cause trouble? He had good intentions and would rather die than reveal Yan Ruchen's feelings, but Chen Rongrong just mentioned it unintentionally?

Then who is he? Was all the beating he received in vain?

Guan Shanyu rolled his eyes in pain and was about to faint. Originally, it was just his body that was hurting, but now his head was hurting even more.

A hint of surprise flashed across Yan Ruchen's face. He was not surprised that Song Ziye had discovered his connection with the matter, nor was it Chen Rongrong's unintentional words, but that Guan Shanyu had been beaten like this.

He really didn't reveal anything about himself?

After all, in the short time it took him to come to the Sutra Library, Guan Shanyu had already cried three times in the corner. Is he really that strong?

Yan Ruchen was about to open his mouth to explain, but Si Hongyin beat him to the punch, anxiously defending him: "Brother Ziye, I gave the token to Ruchen, but I got my father's permission beforehand. Ruchen has always been ostracized in the sect, and because of his difficult childhood, he has some congenital deficiencies, which hindered his later cultivation. My father valued his talent, so he agreed to let him come to the Sutra Library to borrow ancient books for cultivation."

"As for the matter of the herbs, Chen Rongrong and I saw it with our own eyes. When Ruchen was being punished in Lengquan, he happened to meet Guan Shanyu sneaking up the mountain. He just helped him casually and there was no premeditated plan."

Yan Ruchen patted Si Hongyin lightly, signaling her to speak for herself. Si Hongyin then realized that something was wrong and immediately stopped talking, glaring at Guan Shanyu, who was trembling beside her, to vent her anger.

Everyone present was speechless for a moment. Looking at Si Hongyin, who was even more excited than the person involved, Qiu Shui Jian Ji sighed deeply. How could such a heroic woman like herself have taught such a love-brained disciple? And she even rushed to explain such a thing. It was your father who died, okay?

Until the real culprit is found, everyone is a suspect.

But seeing that Si Hongyin had already expressed his opinion, everyone had nothing more to say and turned their eyes to Song Ziye. After all, their family was in chaos, with internal and external troubles. Now that there was a reliable person who could investigate the case, they all placed their hopes on him.

After hearing what Si Hongyin said, Song Ziye was not surprised. He smiled lightly to show his understanding and turned to look at Guan Shanyu. Although there was no doubt in his eyes, Guan Shanyu had been a little PDST because of the continuous high-pressure investigation in the past two days. He subconsciously felt that he had to clear Yan Ruchen of suspicion, otherwise there would be endless troubles. So, regardless of his trembling body, he immediately stood up and echoed:

"Yes, I wanted to go there on my own. I just happened to meet Yan Ruchen. It has nothing to do with him!"

Everyone shifted their gaze to Guan Shanyu and then to Yan Ruchen, thinking that Yan Ruchen was really popular, as everyone was rushing to speak for him. Guan Shanyu was in such a difficult situation, yet he was still trying to make excuses for him. Could someone with this kind of brain really collude with the demons to kill the elders?

Qing Yuanzi glanced at his silly disciple silently, but didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Song Ziye chuckled and raised his hand to reassure everyone, "Don't be nervous, everyone. I'm just asking out of curiosity. There's still no clue about this matter, and we need to investigate it carefully. How about this, I will continue to investigate in the Sutra Library for the time being. It's getting late, so you seniors should go back and rest first."

Everyone looked up at the sun outside which had just risen to noon. They didn't know whether it was early or late. However, each faction still had a lot of cleanup work to do. Now that someone had taken on the hot potato of investigating the case, they were happy to withdraw.

Especially Yue Lingwu, he was a rough man with inexhaustible strength, but he had a headache when using his brain. He had made no progress in the trial of Guan Shanyu a few days ago, and he could not think of any good way except beating him three times a day. But he was afraid that he would be laughed at if he could not find out anything in the end, so he could not sleep well for several days and nights. Now that someone took the blame, he got up and left without thinking.

And Jin Yunche had just come out of seclusion. He had been practicing well in seclusion, and it seemed that a breakthrough in martial arts was imminent. Perhaps when his magic power reached a higher level, he would no longer have to spend all day in Xuanshuangju doing those hopeless jobs such as arranging internal affairs and handling the aftermath.

Who knew that man proposes, God disposes? Without a breakthrough in martial arts, such a thing happened in the sect. He was hurriedly called out of seclusion and was still in a daze. He didn't know which one he should be sad about first, the failure of martial arts training or the tragic death of his fellow sect member.

Qiu Shui Jian Ji glanced at her disciple who was standing closely with Yan Ruchen, and her head began to ache. When her father was alive, he could help her discipline her, but now that her father was gone, she not only had to take care of her emotions, but also had to plan her future training strategy.

Although Guan Shanyu was let in by Qing Yuanzi through the back door, why is Si Hongyin not included? If it weren't for the old man Si's face, with Si Hongyin's talent, he should have been working as a blacksmith with Chen Rongrong at the top of Qionghua.

Yue Lingwu had already vanished, but Jin Yunche remained stunned, his mind wandering. Qing Yuanzi was now half a criminal. Although letting a disciple in through the backdoor wasn't a big deal, he felt guilty about violating sect rules and volunteered to confine himself. He now stood aside, silent.

It looked like Qiushui Sword Princess would have to handle this herself. She sighed deeply and said, "Ziye, you've been so busy these past few days. I'm truly sorry to bother you. If there's anything you need Tianxuan's help with, please let me know. During your time in Tianxuan, you can come and go freely wherever you want, without informing anyone."

Song Ziye quickly responded, "Uncle Qiushui, you're too kind. Uncle Si has done me a favor. When Master learned of this, he also ordered me to help find out the truth and give Uncle Si justice. How can I say I'm causing trouble?"

Qiushui Sword Lady nodded with satisfaction, looked at Guan Shanyu on the side, and said, "What about him? How are you going to deal with him?"

Si Hongyin excitedly said: "Of course he should be put back in the water dungeon! Don't let him go!"

Yan Ruchen gave her a look, signaling her to be patient.

Song Ziye looked a bit embarrassed and waved his hand, saying, "Junior Brother Guan's connection to this case is still unclear, so further torture is probably inappropriate. Sending him back to the Bamboo House is not the best option either... How about this, while I'm in the Sutra Library, let him stay with me."

Guan Shanyu had been waiting for his fate with his head down in a gloomy mood, but his eyes lit up instantly when he heard these words. Of course it would be great to be with his idol!

But he reacted quickly, fearing that his facial expression would be too obvious and arouse suspicion, so he immediately lowered his head again.

Qiushui Sword Lady had no objections. She looked around and saw that Si Hongyin, though disgruntled, remained silent despite Yan Ruchen's soothing efforts. After confirming everything was correct, she offered a few polite closing remarks, then immediately stood up, grabbed the bewildered Jin Yunche and the silent Qing Yuanzi, and left the Sutra Library.

Guan Shanyu was very nervous, very uneasy, and very scared. Part of the fear came from not knowing what unknown plot he would face next, whether there would be another hidden "surprise" and then beating him three times a day.

To be honest, Guan Shanyu had never suffered such hardship in his previous life. Although he was only imprisoned for three days, he really felt like every day was a year.

Fortunately, Song Ziye brought him with him, otherwise he would be locked up in the bamboo house and he would be really afraid that Si Hongyin would retaliate privately. After all, her eyes that seemed to want to get rid of him as soon as possible were enough to make him feel scared just thinking about it.
