“How great, just like the saying goes, if you are out to condemn someone, you can always trump up a charge.” sneered Murong Qingyan, “What you really want is not to find the thief, I know you have been coveting the Spiritual Treasure!”

Murong Qingyan fumed, condemning her for something she had never done is not enough, they wanted to plunder her Spiritual Treasure!

Murong Qingyan was no longer a push over who could only stand and watch someone else take away her stuff!

“Murong Qingyan, don’t try to evade my question by changing the subject.” Murong Xiong became furious and defensive due to embarrassment from being called out in public, “We are merely asking to compensate for what you have done, you know we could kill you according to domestic discipline?”

“I will accept the consequences of my doing,” said Murong Qingyan loud and clear, “but for something that I haven’t done, I refuse to be the scapegoat! Come on now, you can try me if you want to.”

“You… you just won’t admit your mistake!” retorted Murong Xiong with disgust written all over his face, “Well, you’ve made your decision, don’t call us merciless for punishing you!”

Murong Qingyan almost burst into laughter, “Are you… are you showing me mercy now? As my seniors, all of you who are sitting in this hall, trying to force me to give up on my Spiritual Treasure, don’t pretend you don’t have any ulterior motive!”

Dead silence reigned the hall.

“Murong Qingyan, spread fallacies to deceive people!” Murong Xiyi fumed, “Do you have evidence that it’s not you? If not, I suggest you better be smart and listen!”

“Oh? Second Uncle, I found it quite interesting,” Murong Qingyan sneered, “I don’t have any unsettled score with you, how come you are so anxious to punish me today?”

Murong Qingyan paused slightly, then she shot Murong Xiyi a meaningful look, “Why on earth is my Second Uncle so desperate to convict me?”

Everyone turned and looked at Murong Xiyi.

“Murong Qingyan, stop slandering me,” Murong Xiyi wished he could finish Murong Qingyan right in the hall, “I’m just stating the truth, you tell me, why did we find your jade pendant in the Treasury?”

“Master, and all the Elders, isn’t it ridiculous to convict me just by a jade pendant? I need some more convincing evidence.” Murong Qingyan stood in the middle of the hall, she sneered at Murong Xiong, “And as for the Spiritual Treasure, it’s mine.”

“You are courting an early death.” Murong Xiong felt provoked, he was more furious, “I’ve given you a second chance already and you refused to take it, guards, arrest her now.”

Murong Xiong also knew it was a bit arbitrary to just convict Murong Qingyan by the existing evidence, but so far Murong Qingyan was the only suspect, plus he had always loathed this black sheep in the family, he decided he might as well make use of this opportunity to get rid of her.

“Master, shall we give this matter some further thoughts?” chimed in Murong Rui, “In case it’s really an unjust case!”

“First Elder, thank you for your consideration, but I’ve already made up my mind.” Murong Xiong lifted a hand at Murong Rui, signaling him to be quiet. “Look at her, not showing the lightest regret for stealing such a treasure, how could I let her go like this?”

“I won’t stay in your family even though you decide to let me go!” Murong Qingyan said this with indifference, “But there’s one thing I should point out, it’s not I’m being driven out, I am renouncing you on my own initiative!”

She didn’t appreciate Murong Rui for pleading her, she found that hypo-critic, if Murong Rui really believe in her innocence, he would have spoken up for her from the start.

Murong Xiong lifted his hand and ordered, “Guards, tackle her! Then go search her place and find the Spiritual Treasure! I will evict her from Murong family after I wipe off her Dark Power.”

That was Murong Qingyan’s final judgement!

No one said anything even though they all found it arbitrary, but the fact was the Recovery Elixir was stolen and Murong Qingyan who was severely injured healed herself just within several days and her jade pendant was found in the Treasury! They needed someone to take the charge, and this only suspect happened to have a Spiritual Treasure, why not?
