Mu Xue and Mu Xue

Mu Xue's eyes were filled with tears, and the crystal tears were rolling around in her eyes, almost bursting out.

Her heart was filled with despair and helplessness, because she sadly realized that she could not find any way to prove that this matter had nothing to do with her.

The people around her were indifferent and ignored her. No one was willing to listen to even one of her explanations. Those pairs of eyes full of suspicion and hostility were like cold arrows, piercing her heart straight.

Someone in the crowd threw an egg first. The egg, filled with malice, drew an arc in the air and flew straight towards Muxue.

Immediately afterwards, as if receiving some kind of signal, some people began to throw tomatoes, spinach and other vegetables in their hands towards Muxue.

Mu Xue widened her eyes in horror and could only instinctively hold her head tightly with both hands, trying to create a small safe space for her head.

However, all this was in vain. Countless eggs rained down on her, hitting her body continuously and making her look miserable.

Lin Mo, who wanted to stand up for Mu Xue, was also not spared. He was beaten to a pulp, with egg white and vegetable residue all over his head and face, looking like a drowned rat.

But there was no sign of retreat in his eyes. He turned his head firmly and stood in front of Mu Xue without hesitation.

He used his not-so-broad body to block most of the flying objects like "garbage" for Mu Xue.

The eggs and vegetables that were thrown at Muxue fell on his back and shoulders, but he just frowned slightly and endured it all silently.

At this moment, Mu Xue was already overwhelmed by fear and grievance. She buried her head deeply between her knees, hugged herself tightly with her hands, and trembled like a wounded little animal, mumbling non-stop: "I didn't, I didn't."

The voice was filled with tears and seemed so weak in the noisy crowd, but it was full of endless sorrow and despair.

The owner of the lost box was still crying out in the crowd, "Why did you take my mask?"

The voice became hoarse due to excessive grief and anger, echoing in the air, like a strong appeal for justice, and like a ruthless accusation against Mu Xue and Lin Mo.

Just when this chaotic situation was getting out of control like a wild horse running out of control, something strange happened.

A soft blue water ball suddenly appeared beside Mu Xue and Lin Mo. It expanded rapidly, enveloping them tightly. The surface of the water ball shimmered, like an indestructible shield, blocking all external attacks.

"What are you doing?!?!"

A majestic rebuke was heard, and along with the voice appeared the eldest prince with an upright posture and a powerful aura.

I saw him wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, slowly descending from the sky, his clothes fluttering in the wind, as if he was really a god descending to earth.

His face was handsome and stern, and his eyes revealed an innate nobility and majesty that made people dare not look directly at him.

"Brother Lin, are you okay? Why do they keep throwing trash at you? Do you need my help?"

Seeing that everyone was immersed in chaos and no one seemed to be willing to explain the reasons for all this to him, the eldest prince turned his inquiring gaze directly to the parties involved - Lin Mo and Mu Xue.

"That's right, this guy, he was..."

Lin Mo took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then told Yun Qianyou everything that had happened.

From the accidental encounter with Mu Xue at that particular place, to being inexplicably involved in the turmoil about the missing mask, to the indiscriminate attacks on them by the crowd, Lin Mo described every detail in detail.

Yun Qianyou listened quietly, a glimmer of thought flashing in his deep eyes from time to time. As Lin Mo spoke, he gradually had a general understanding of the ins and outs of the matter.

"Since you say you didn't take it, then I have a way to prove it for you!"

The eldest prince's voice was firm and confident. As he spoke, he casually stretched out his hand and took out a stone.

This stone sparkled with a strange light under the sunlight, and Lin Mo recognized it at a glance. Although it was very similar to the engraved stone in appearance, it was only a sub-stone among the mother and sub-engraved stones, or it could be said to be a sub-engraved stone among the main engraved stone and sub-engraved stone.

This kind of thing is extremely rare. Holding this formation stone can control the formation to a certain extent. However, if you want to move the formation, you still have to rely on the main formation stone.

The entire Huayan City is shrouded in a large and mysterious formation called the "Memory Formation".

This "memory array" is like an enormous history book, faithfully recording every event that happened within the array, no matter how big or small, all are engraved in it.

Whether it is the pedestrians coming and going in the streets and alleys, the trivial disputes in the palaces and temples, or the blowing of the wind and the floating of clouds in nature, none of them can escape its perception and memory.

Not only that, when the buildings in the city are damaged by erosion of time, war or other accidents, this magical formation can restore them to their original state with its unique power, allowing the broken walls and ruins to regain vitality. However, this restoration ability is only limited to inanimate objects, and it is powerless against living creatures.

Yun Qianyou's slender fingers tightly grasped the precious engraved stone, his eyes focused and determined, as if the whole world only contained him and the engraved stone in his hand.

He just stretched out his arm slightly in a specific direction, and in an instant, a dazzling light, like a sharp lightsaber, pierced through the water curtain that protected Mu Xue and Lin Mo, and then projected onto the open space outside the water ball.

As the light flickered, a clear and vivid picture gradually formed. The scene in the picture was so lifelike that it seemed to bring people back to a moment in the past.

Everyone looked carefully and saw that what was shown in the picture was exactly the scene where the owner of the box solemnly handed the box to Mu Xue.

The expression on Mu Xue's face at that time was clearly visible. Her eyes were full of confusion and surprise, and she was obviously at a loss for what to do with this sudden entrustment.

The expression of the box owner was equally genuine, and his eyes seemed to hide some unspeakable secrets.

Seeing this scene, the crowd outside who were originally clamoring and shouting angrily finally calmed down. They all knew what the picture displayed by this magical formation meant, and they also knew that the person who could control this formation to bring the truth to everyone had arrived.

"Wouldn't it be clear if she took the contents of the box and looked inside?"

Yun Qianyou walked out of the water ball with steady steps. His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard in every corner in the silent atmosphere.

This sentence seemed to be spoken to everyone around him, but also seemed to be spoken specifically to the owner of the box, making it difficult to understand his true intention.

"And you!"

Yun Qianyou suddenly turned his head and coldly swept his sharp and ruthless eyes at the crowd of onlookers.

"If the truth is not as you imagine, those of you who act recklessly and hurt others at will will not be able to escape the severe punishment of the law!"

His tone was not loud, but it revealed an unquestionable majesty. This sentence was obviously directed at those who had just thrown vegetables and eggs at Mu Xue and Lin Mo mercilessly.

The people around him were instantly frightened by his short and powerful words and fell silent.

Some people have already begun to secretly regret their impulsive behavior. They lowered their heads, their eyes full of regret and self-blame.

Some people still stubbornly looked at Mu Xue and Lin Mo with disgust. In their hearts, they seemed to still firmly believe that Mu Xue was the culprit. No matter what the picture shown by the formation was, they were unwilling to change their opinions.

The images on the screen were being played at double speed, because if they were played at normal speed, it would probably take a whole morning to fully present the entire process of the incident.

The people around were all staring intently at the truth that was constantly flashing and changing on the screen, their eyes not blinking, for fear of missing any key details.

Those who had just thrown things at Mu Xue and Lin Mo began to sweat profusely. Beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads. Their hearts were filled with fear and anxiety, and they kept praying, "She must have taken the things!"

In their view, their actions just now were merely standing on the side of the person they thought was the victim and upholding justice. If the facts eventually proved that they were wrong, then they would have really gotten into this unprovoked disaster "for no reason", which was a result they were unwilling to face no matter what.

As time passed quietly, and they didn't know how long it had been, they finally saw the person who brought them "unprovoked disaster" appear again. It was the second time the owner of the box appeared on the screen.

When those who had just "fought" saw this scene, the last bit of hope in their hearts was completely shattered. Their hearts seemed to have fallen into an endless dark abyss and were completely dead.
