Chapter 96 Someone Framed Me

Chapter 96: Chapter 96 Someone Framed Me

Shen Heying was startled, turned to look at the room next door, and remembered the words his father said after waking up, feeling an ominous premonition.

Evil cultivation is absolutely forbidden in the Xuan Sect, and if word got out, it would definitely lead to ruin and disgrace.

He immediately took a step back, pointing at Qi, and said sternly:

"What nonsense are you spouting, little girl! The Shen Family has maintained its honor for a hundred years, and you, pretending to understand, dare to slander my father with evil cultivation!"

Seeing his sudden change of expression, Yun Qiuce instinctively stood in front of Qi.

Qi calmly reached out her hand and patted him, "Uncle told me to come. You’re no match for him."

"Oh." Yun Qiuce obediently tucked his tail and hid behind Qi.

Qi raised the book in her hand, "This book is a forbidden book from the Xuan Sect, introducing all sorts of Forbidden Techniques. It was openly placed on your dad’s desk, and you still dare to quibble."

"I, I..."

"What do you mean you? Whatever Qi says goes. I never expected that a prestigious family like the Xuan Sect would actually study forbidden techniques."

Yun Qiuce feigned authority with an air of righteousness.

Shen Heying was sweating profusely, "How could this be possible? Given my dad’s status and position, why would he do something that disgraces our family tradition? Besides, if he was doing evil cultivation, he would definitely avoid being seen. Who would openly place a forbidden book on a desk?!"

Yun Qi hadn’t spoken yet.

Yun Qiuce thought for a moment and agreed. "Qi, could there be a mistake? I think he makes a lot of sense; who would just put a forbidden book on a desk? That’s just crazy!"

Shen Heying seized the opportunity, "Right, even if we were foolish, we wouldn’t do something like that."

Yun Qi stood with arms akimbo, raised her chin, and snorted coldly in anger.

In her childish voice, there was full defiance:

"I don’t care about you. That forbidden book was found in your house, so it must be your father’s collection. You didn’t tidy it up because you don’t understand."

Shen Heying actually found the little girl’s words reasonable. He truly didn’t understand; had he known a bit, he would have helped his father hide the book first.

He lacked the nobility to turn against his own family.

As he was thinking about how to explain, suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he doubted what he saw.

The fox plush on Yun Qi’s shoulder actually twisted its neck on its own and glanced at Qi’s face.

He rubbed his eyes, and the fox plush returned to its former state.

Yun Qiuce noticed his odd behavior, "What are you doing?"

"She, that thing on her..."

"Enough, since your father is involved in evil cultivation, I have to report this to our Xuan Sect peers and let them decide how to handle it. Qi is just a child, and she shouldn’t be involved."

She took the forbidden book and was about to leave.

Shen Heying hurriedly stumbled a few steps forward, rushed over, and blocked Yun Qi like an eagle guarding its chick.

"Wait a minute, you can’t leave yet. This matter... this matter, we need to discuss carefully."

Yun Qiuce cautiously picked up Yun Qi, hid her in his arms, encircling her with his arms, only a head was exposed.

"I’m telling you, don’t bully my niece, I’m still here as her uncle."

Yun Qi immediately stretched out her little hand and patted Yun Qiuce’s arm amicably, "Don’t worry, uncle, I will protect you."

The intimidating aura Yun Qiuce had just put on instantly vanished.

He even felt slightly embarrassed.

"Talking it over is not impossible; I can first wake up your father and let him explain himself when he awakens."

Yun Qi swung her legs, and Yun Qiuce reluctantly put her on the ground.

Shen Heying also came to his senses, "Yes, let my dad wake up first; as long as he wakes up, everything can be discussed."

He thought, as long as his father woke up, with his father’s status and influence, maybe this matter could be suppressed.

Yun Qi walked to the big bed, took a box of vermillion from her pocket, dipped it with her index finger, and drew a talisman in the air above Shen Cong’s head.

Fiery red light poured out from her fingertips, converging into a strange talisman in midair.

Then, Yun Qi pressed her small hand on Shen Cong’s forehead, while the red talisman was also imprinted on his forehead.

The wind roared outside the window, and Shen Cong shouted loudly, suddenly opening his eyes.

Shen Heying was startled, although he was not fully skilled, he had often seen his father casting a spell.

Turns out mysticism can be used this way!

He murmured in his heart and quickly stepped forward to check on his father.

"Dad, how are you feeling?"

Shen Cong stared at the ceiling, his eyes wide, and after a long time, he recognized his son.

"Heying, how come you..."

"Dad, it was Yun Qi who revived you. What’s been going on with you these past few days?"

Shen Cong struggled to sit up, saw Yun Qi, his eyes narrowed, instinctively trying to crawl into the bed.

"Stay away, stay away..."

"Eh?" Yun Qi looked surprised, waving her hand in front of Shen Cong.

"Grandpa seems so confused, when did I ever bother you?"

Shen Cong was drenched in sweat, squinting his eyes to see Yun Qi’s small face, little figure, and the crisp childish voice by his ear.

Oh, it wasn’t her.

The face in the dream bore a five or sixty percent resemblance to her, but it was an adult.

Tall and majestic, with a heavy presence of authority, dressed in a long-sleeved black robe, striding towards him with a strong sense of oppression.

"Do you admit your guilt?" The deep voice hovered overhead, like a beast hovering on the prairie.

These days, he kept repeating the same scenario in his dreams, asking over and over if he acknowledged his guilt.

What guilt did he have?! Tang Qing was already dead, and the dead couldn’t speak.

So as long as he didn’t say anything, the secret would go with him to Hell.

Yun Qi thought of something but didn’t pursue it further, instead solemnly saying to him:

"Grandpa Shen, now that you’re awake, I formally inform you. A forbidden book was found on your desk; I suspect you of evil cultivation and will report to our Xuan Sect peers to let them decide your punishment."

Yun Qi finished speaking and was about to leave.

Shen Cong hurriedly climbed out of bed, unsteady, tripping and falling to the floor.

"Wait, Yun Qi, you can’t do that. The Shen Family’s hundred years of honored reputation, you can’t just destroy it. That book... someone framed me; someone put it on my desk..."

"You are the Shen Family Patriarch; who could sneak into your room and place a forbidden book there to frame you? Your son?"

Yun Qi’s gaze was sharp, her body small but full of presence, looking at Shen Heying.

Shen Heying quickly waved his hands, "Not me, how could it be me? I know nothing."

"Oh, even your son won’t admit it, then how could anyone else frame you? Besides, what benefit is there for them?"

Shen Cong found himself unable to respond with a single word.

"It was... the Ghost Shadow outside the window, it did it."

"That Ghost Shadow was subdued by your talisman and couldn’t enter the room, so how could it place a forbidden book on your desk?"

Shen Heying suddenly slapped his head.

"I remember now, check the surveillance! Dad, you have surveillance in your study room."
