"Say, with me here, he can't hurt you.”

The grey-robed monk said.

"Oh."

" Oh," Xiao Xun replied. Under Xuan Lian's furious gaze, he said softly," I was originally a novice monk of First Ancestor Temple on Five Milk Peak. I was in charge of guarding the storage room.

Every monk who wanted to go to Bodhidharma Cave to face the wall to receive the precepts had to hand over the things they carried with them to their disciples for safekeeping.

Furthermore, he had to strip off his monk robes in front of his disciples to verify his identity.”

Xuan Lian's eyes turned red as if they could spit fire.

"Xuan Lian has precious pills on him?”An eminent monk of the Xuan generation asked curiously.

Xiao Xun shook his head and said hesitantly,"No, there's nothing on Grandmaster Mystic Lotus.”

"Then what is his secret?" Xuan Chi asked.

Xiao Xun's eyes flickered as he said in a low voice," Disciple said that there's nothing on him.”

The Xuan monks looked at each other in confusion.

Only Xuan Lian understood. She glared fiercely at Xiao Xun, her lips trembling.

"What do you mean?" The grey-robed monk asked.

" It's just…" Xiao Xun pointed at Xuan Lian and whispered," There's nothing there!”

Everyone followed Xiao Xun's finger and looked at Xuan Lian. They were all slightly stunned before their expressions became strange.

Xuan Chi frowned.

No?

Then…

Xuan Chi's gaze was a little erratic.

"At that time, this disciple was not willing to come to the Medicine King Hall. It was Grandmaster Mystic Lotus who forced this disciple to come.”Xiao Xun added.

The grey-robed monk looked at Xiao Xun. A golden light flashed in his eyes as he asked,""Did you secretly eat the pill?"

Xiao Xun was in a trance, but his mind was clear in an instant. He didn't have time to think about what had just happened and calmly said,"Disciple didn't want to stay by Grand Uncle Black Lotus 'side and wanted to return to First Ancestor Temple, so I secretly ate a few Green Jade Pills, hoping to violate the temple's rules and return to Five Milk Peak.”

For a moment, the alchemy room was silent.

"Green Jade Pill?" Xuan Chi looked at Xiao Xun beside him and found it hard to accept.

Xiao Xun had his own considerations.

If Xuan Chi was the only one in the alchemy room at the moment, then he could naturally pretend to be an innocent little monk.

However…

At this moment, the gray-robed monk of Du generation was here.

The grey-robed monk opened Xuan Lian's mute acupoint and asked,""What else do you want to say?"

"He stole all the pills in this bag!”Xuan Lian growled as he glared at Xiao Xun with a ferocious expression.

"Why don't you say that I was the one who interrupted the Pill Tower?”Xiao Xun rolled his eyes and said speechlessly.

"I was the one who interrupted the Pill Tower." The grey-robed monk glanced at Xiao Xun.

" Uh…" Xiao Xun was stunned. He knew.

"Hmph, you didn't steal it. Why are you hiding behind this bag?”Xuan Lian sneered.

Xiao Xun tilted his head slightly and said,"I originally lived on the fourth floor. You were the one who brought me up."

Also, you were the one who brought me to the Pill Tower back then. How could I have such a bag? I haven't left the Pill Tower these past few days."

"You must be secretly colluding with the Spring Autumn Eccentric!" Xuan Lian frowned and said coldly.”

Xiao Xun scratched his bald head and said,"You're getting more and more ridiculous. Not to mention that I don't even know who the Spring Autumn Old Monster is."

How many days have I been in the Pill Tower? Even if I want to steal pills, where can I steal them?”

"Heh, you've been to the medicine pavilion on the first floor and the pill room of the first senior brother several times.”Xuan Lian sneered.

"The medicine pavilion on the first floor didn't lose any pills.”Xuan Chi said.

In the entire Pill Tower, only the first floor was not stolen.

The grey-robed monk recalled the scene at the beginning of the battle with the Eccentric of Spring and Autumn and said,"The pills in the chief's pill room were stolen by the Spring Autumn Eccentric.”

Xuan Lian frowned, feeling suspicious.

"Grandmaster Mystic Lotus, I also want to ask you a question.”

Xiao Xun looked at Xuan Lian and asked," Tonight, is Martial Granduncle going to kill me to silence me?”

All the monks looked at Xuan Lian in unison, and many of them realized what was going on.

Why was Xuan Lian here tonight?

"Xuan Lian, what's in the basket on your back?”Xuan Chi asked.

The grey-robed monk moved his right hand slightly, and the herb basket on Xuan Lian's back instantly landed in front of everyone.

The medicine basket was filled with bottles and jars, as well as a few precious medicinal herbs and a yellow package.

"Motherf * cker, are you trying to kill me and run away overnight?”

Xiao Xun cursed in his heart.

At the same time, he also knew that Xuan Lian would not be able to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

"It seems that Junior Brother Xuan Lian wants to leave Shaolin.”Xuan Chi said expressionlessly.

A defeated expression flashed across Xuan Lian's face.

"Who's the mastermind behind the chaos in Shaolin this time?”The grey-robed monk asked.

"It has nothing to do with me. I didn't poison him." Xuan Lian closed his eyes and said.”

"Take him away first." Xuan Chi ordered. She was too lazy to listen to Xuan Lian's nonsense.

The grey-robed monk stretched out his hand and sealed several major acupoints on Xuan Lian's body.

The two senior monks of the Xuan generation stepped forward and left together with Xuan Lian.

Xiao Xun watched as Xuan Lian left. When he retracted his gaze, his eyelids twitched.

In the alchemy room, everyone's eyes were vaguely on him.

"How many years have you been in Shaolin?" The grey-robed monk looked at Xiao Xun and asked.

"It's been almost four years," Xiao Xun said hesitantly.”

"Four years…You've been staying in First Ancestor Temple all these years?”The grey-robed monk asked.

Xiao Xun nodded in agreement.

"It's Xuan Lian's problem." Xuan Chi said," Huiwu's appearance in the Medicine King Yard was entirely caused by Xuan Lian's selfish desires.”

The grey-robed monk looked at Xuan Chi.

"Let's talk outside."

Xuan Chi said. Before she left, she looked at Xiao Xun and said gently,"Don't worry. Have a good sleep and forget about what happened tonight.”

"Oh." Xiao Xun replied softly.

On the fifth floor of the Pill Tower, in front of the bamboo shed.

Xuan Chi told the grey-robed monk about what Xuan Lian had done over the years and the reason why he had recruited Huiwu as an apprentice alchemist.

The grey-robed monk's eyes flashed with astonishment, and his expression flickered after he heard the story.

After a long time.

"This does not completely eliminate him as a suspect.”the grey-robed monk said slowly.

" What?" Xuan Chi frowned and asked," Uncle Master, do you suspect that he stole this bag of elixirs or that he colluded with outsiders?"”

"I just think it's too much of a coincidence." The grey-robed monk shook his head.

I saw him on the sixth floor when I was fighting with the Spring Autumn Ancestor in your pill room.”

"Oh?" Xuan Chi was surprised.

"He was unconscious on the ground, and his monk robes were corroded by the poison of the Spring and Autumn Patriarch," the gray-robed monk said.”

"I see. No wonder he was naked when we found him this morning.”Xuan Chi seemed to have understood something, and then a doubt rose in her heart.

Why would Huiwu appear on the sixth level?

Xuan Chi remembered that when he passed by the fifth floor to deliver the pills to Martial Uncle Du E, he had told Huiwu that there was no need to give him the Green Jade Pill.

Could it be that he had deliberately deceived Xuan Lian in order to eat it secretly?

Thinking of this possibility, a flash of understanding flashed across Xuan Chi's eyes.

"Watch him first." The grey-robed monk said.

"Alright."

Xuan Chi nodded.
