Chapter 192 Not a Demon Cultivator
Chapter 192 Not a Demon Cultivator
Ling Jiuan stood on the stage with a firm expression, like an unshakable mountain.
After a while, the formation for detecting evil spirits fell on her, but she remained motionless, and the formation did not fluctuate at all.
Just like that, a stick of incense passed quietly, and the result of the formation clearly showed that there was no evil spirit on her body.
Xing Tianye spoke lightly, with a barely perceptible hint of doubt in his voice.
"It seems that there is really no evil spirit. Doesn't the evidence say that Ling Jiuan colluded with the demon cultivators and used the evil spirit to practice evil ways? How come there is no evil spirit on his body now? You know, once you use the evil spirit to practice, you can never completely get rid of it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd below the stage immediately burst into discussion.
They whispered to each other, expressing surprise and confusion at the result.
Ling Jiuze's face became even more terribly gloomy. He didn't expect that Ling Jiuan actually did not collude with the evil cultivators, which made his plan fail in an instant.
What surprised him even more was that Ling Jiuan, that useless guy, was able to cultivate so smoothly without using any magic methods. How was that possible?
Ling Changfeng also showed a hint of surprise. He didn't expect the test results to be so clear.
He looked at Ling Jiuan, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, both relief and confusion.
He spoke slowly.
"Jiuan, what's your explanation for this?"
If you don't practice any evil ways, you can still be used.
Ling Jiuan smiled slightly.
"Father, I don't need to explain. Because there is only one truth, that is, I have never colluded with the devil cultivators, and I have never used the evil spirit to practice evil ways. As for those so-called evidences, they are just someone trying to frame me."
Her words caused the crowd in the audience to talk again, and they began to re-examine the incident.
Seeing this, Ling Jiuze felt panicked. He didn't expect that Ling Jiuan actually didn't collude with the evil cultivators, which made his original plan fall through in an instant.
He fell to his knees with a thud, his tone filled with a hint of urgency and panic.
"Father, I was careless and let someone frame my fifth sister. But... even if there is no evil spirit on her body, it cannot completely prove that my fifth sister did not collude with the evil cultivators. If we end it so hastily, I am afraid... the public anger will be difficult to appease!"
As he spoke, he looked up at Ling Changfeng, a hint of pleading in his eyes.
He knew that the only way to keep his plan was to make his father believe that Ling Jiuan was still suspected of colluding with the evil cultivators.
However, Ling Changfeng just glanced at him indifferently, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.
He understood Ling Jiuze's thoughts, but he also knew the seriousness of the matter.
"Jiu Ze, please get up. I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If Jiu An really didn't collude with the demon cultivators, then I will definitely clear her name. However, if she has other suspicions, then I will never condone her."
When Ling Jiuze heard this, he felt unwilling.
He knew that his father's decision was irreversible, so he could only grit his teeth and nodded reluctantly.
"Yes, I understand, kid."
The people in the audience also started talking about it.
Some of them believed that Ling Jiuan was innocent, while others still had doubts about her.
However, no matter what they thought, they could only wait for Ling Changfeng's investigation results.
Ling Jiuan smiled coldly, he could see what Ling Jiuze was thinking.
She spoke slowly, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
"In that case, how about... Second Brother come up and check if there is any evil spirit on you?"
Hearing this, Jiuze's expression changed slightly.
Naturally, he did not dare to accept this test, because he was now a demon cultivator and must have evil spirits on him.
He sneered, trying to hide his guilty conscience.
"Why should I check? What tricks are you playing?"
Ling Jiuan just looked at him indifferently, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
She knew that Ling Jiuze didn't dare to accept the test because he was afraid that the truth would be revealed.
She shook her head gently, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.
"Brother, I am only suggesting a fair method. Since you dare not accept the test, what qualifications do you have to question my innocence?"
When Ling Jiuze heard this, he felt flustered.
He gritted his teeth and glared at her unwillingly, but he couldn't refute her words.
At this time, the people in the audience also started talking.
However, Ling Jiuze just stood there coldly without saying a word.
Upon seeing this, Madam Lan quickly spoke up to defend Ling Jiuze.
"Jiu'an, your words are far-fetched. Your second brother is not suspected of colluding with the devil, why do you want to test him?"
There was a hint of urgency in her tone, and she was clearly trying to excuse Ling Jiuze.
However, Ling Jiuan just smiled coldly.
"As everyone knows, my second brother is good friends with Cheng Xuan. Cheng Xuan is the demon cultivator. Madam Lan, do you think my second brother is a suspect?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the audience immediately burst into discussion.
They whispered to each other, expressing surprise and curiosity at this sudden information.
Upon hearing this, Madam Lan's expression changed slightly.
She knew that what Ling Jiuan said was true and that Ling Jiuze and Cheng Xuan were indeed very close friends.
She gritted her teeth and glared at Ling Jiuan unwillingly, but she was unable to refute her words.
At this time, Ling Changfeng also frowned.
He was silent for a moment, and finally spoke slowly.
"Okay, stop arguing. I will investigate this matter myself. No matter what the result is, I will give Jiuan a fair result."
Ling Jiuan smiled faintly.
"Since father wants to give me justice, let my second brother also take the test!"
When Ling Jiuze heard this, his face instantly turned extremely ugly.
He clenched his fists tightly, digging his nails deep into his palms, but he didn't feel any pain.
He gritted his teeth and glared at Ling Jiuan, with a hint of hysterical roar in his voice.
"Ling Jiuan, you are going too far!"
However, Ling Jiuan just looked at him indifferently, with a hint of mockery and pity in his eyes.
"Brother, I'm just seeking justice. If you really didn't collude with the demon cultivators, then why not test it?"
When Ling Jiuze heard this, he felt flustered.
He knew that he could no longer escape this test.
He gritted his teeth, glared at Ling Jiuan unwillingly, and finally had no choice but to accept the test.
Afterwards, the formation for testing evil spirits fell on Ling Jiuze.
What was surprising was that the magic circle did not detect the evil spirit on Ling Jiuze.
Ling Jiuze was also stunned. He didn't expect that he didn't detect any evil spirit.
Ling Jiuan frowned but said nothing.
Mrs. Lan was also stunned. She looked at Ling Jiuze with a hint of worry and confusion in her eyes.
She didn't understand why the magic circle didn't detect the evil spirit on Ling Jiuze. Could it be that someone had tampered with it?
