"Upon checking, we found that the large treasure chest in the Demon King’s room is missing a Thunderbolt Saber Technique Secret Manual," Wuwan Liu said coldly. "I was the second last to leave, and before I left, no one had touched the treasure chest."
"The last person to leave the room was you, Yan San! I have repeatedly stated that taking spoils privately is punishable by death, yet you dare to knowingly commit a cri. If you return the Thunderbolt Saber Technique now, you can still avoid death!"
"You’ve switched careers to beco a ssenger at such a young age. I originally intended to recomnd you to beco a Baibao Guard, but don’t ruin your future for a mont of greed."
Looking at the dozens of strong crossbows aid at him from the fortress, Yan Qing understood completely.
He certainly wouldn’t foolishly say sothing like ’I didn’t take the Thunderbolt Saber Technique’ to prove his innocence—Wuwan Liu also knew he didn’t take it, which is why he frad him this way. If Wuwan Liu truly wanted to give Yan Qing a chance to return the manual, he would inquire privately rather than setting up a stage like this, waiting for Yan Qing to fail to produce the item and get shot.
The person who falsely accuses you knows your innocence better than anyone.
Using the Thunderbolt Saber Technique Secret Manual as a setup is also clever. If Yan Qing’s guess is correct, once they use the manual, it would disappear, just like in a ga with no traces left.
However, other things like Spiritual Jade and elixirs will leave evidence behind even if used. Therefore, as long as Yan Qing claims he didn’t take it, Wuwan Liu would say he already used the manual; at that point, killing him and being unable to find evidence would be perfectly plausible. If frad for other things, ’Yan San’s’ dead body would yield no evidence, and everyone would know he was frad.
As long as ’Yan San’ dies, the matter would naturally co to an end, and the ’stolen’ Thunderbolt Saber Technique Secret Manual would naturally end up in Wuwan Liu’s bag.
Yan Qing didn’t know why Wuwan Liu set up the fra; perhaps he simply wanted an opportunity to steal the Thunderbolt Saber Technique, and ’Yan San’ was just the scapegoat he found at the opportune mont. Or maybe he felt he had a poor relationship with ’Yan San’ before, and now that ’Yan San’ had switched to a ssenger, he felt that ’Yan San’ must not be allowed to grow and crushed him at his budding stage. Or perhaps he was rely jealous of ’Yan San’s’ potential. Any reason is possible, but none of it matters.
What matters is that while Wuwan Liu might choose to let ’Yan San’ die here,
Yan Qing can choose the manner in which ’Yan San’ faces death!
Yan Qing looked towards the bottom right corner of the item panel, where the first item was Spiritual Jade.
In the ga "ssenger," Spiritual Jade is not only currency but also the source of power for all ssengers—the primary way ssengers replenish their spiritual power is by using Spiritual Jade for charging.
Apart from that, if a ssenger hasn’t learned special skills, their spiritual power wouldn’t even replenish automatically.
Upon sudden observation, it might seem odd; ssengers have spiritual power values yet cannot recharge automatically. But if you consider ssengers as cars, Spiritual Jade as gasoline, and tokens as engines, it makes perfect sense: ordinary people turning into ssengers is like a heap of steel turning into a car; ssengers can contain spiritual power similar to how a car can hold gasoline; ssengers and cars are rely vessels for the reaction between spiritual power (gasoline) and tokens (engine), but cars are still just piles of tal and ssengers are fundantally still human.
So don’t be fooled when hundreds, if not thousands, of Spiritual Jade are spent; real spending is like a waterfall and can’t be stopped easily. Following Yan Qing’s push, twenty pieces of Spiritual Jade were quickly consud, and ’Yan San’s’ spiritual energy reached its full value of 20.
Then, equip the token "White Iron Straight Saber."
The first skill slot shows the available skill "Moon Ring Slash"!
Only to see ’Yan San’s’ right hand brush across his belt, and a seemingly ordinary saber appeared at his waist. Perhaps soone noticed this scene, but would only presu ’Yan San’ hid his saber earlier—petty thefts by Baibao Guards in the Secret Realm are quite usual, as long as no one touches the treasure chests, everyone turns a blind eye.
"Yan San! Quickly hand over the items!" Wuwan Liu shouted, the patterns on the Evil Ghost Mask seemingly igniting, scrutinizing ’Yan San’s’ every move.
"Alright."
Yan Qing stepped forward, closing the distance with Wuwan Liu. The initial attack range of Moon Ring Slash is two ters, requiring 5 points of spiritual power to activate, and 3 points of spiritual power extends the range by one ter, aning 20 points of spiritual power could execute four slashes within two ters or two slashes within three ters.
Six ters, five ters, four ters...
"What are you doing here?!"
At the wall gate, a black-haired young woman wrapped in a fox fur coat approached Yan Qing and the others, flanked by Evil Ghost Guards. She raised her hand, addressing the strong crossbown on the walls, and said loudly: "Daqi Strong Crossbows are not ant to be aid at our own people, put them down!"
A large crowd dropped to their knees, including Wuwan Liu. "Greetings, Marquis of Lecheng County!"
’Yan San’ naturally did not kneel. Instead, he took advantage to approach two more steps, the distance with Wuwan Liu now less than three ters.
"What is going on?"
"Reporting to the County Duke, this scoundrel was with us on his first entry into the Secret Realm and stole the Secret Realm Treasure Chest’s manual. I advised him to return the manual to avoid punishnt, but he is reluctant to do so, fearing he has secretly used it," Wuwan Liu imdiately stated. "Please, County Duke, deliver a ruling!"
The black-haired young woman remained noncommittal. She turned to ’Yan San’, who stood throughout, saying:
"I am Ying Rushi. Do you accept the accusation from Wuwan Banner Master? If sothing is amiss, I can ensure justice."
anwhile, the na also appeared above the black-haired young woman:
"Marquis of Lecheng County · Ying Rushi."
