Chapter 68 Who else could it be but you?
"If you didn't elope with a man, why would such rumors be circulating in the underworld? What, you dare to do it but not admit it?"
"I didn't!" Tears welled up in her eyes as Shen Che teased her, and her aggrieved expression seemed to soften one's heart.
It has to be said that this little girl is quite devastating, making him feel a bit guilty.
However, while rumors may not be entirely credible, they can't be completely baseless. Who knows if this young girl is just a good actress?
Can a young girl who's just navigating the world really be brought to tears by a few words?
Holding back her tears, Luo Xichan stretched out her hand and said urgently, "Give me back the manual."
"I already said I didn't take it, how can you prove I did? If there's nothing else, get out of the way, I'm leaving!"
To be honest, the best option in this matter would have been to kill them to cover it up. Kill them, throw them into another world, and nobody would ever find them.
However, her lover isn't here right now, so she needs this girl to find him.
"You're the one who took it!" He took out a palm-sized bamboo cage and removed the lid.
A tiny bee-like flying insect flew out of the bamboo cage in Luo Xichan's hand and quickly flew towards him, circling around his sword sheath.
"Look, the bees are all circling around you; it's obvious you took it!"
With her hidden weapon firmly locked onto Shen Che's direction, Luo Xichan now regarded him as a thief who had taken the secret manual.
The certainty in the other person's eyes and the little bee that kept flying around his sword sheath made Shen Che's heart skip a beat.
"What is this?"
"This is the Fragrance Bee. Although the secret manual of our Illusion Heart Sect is not poisonous itself, it is contaminated with a special juice. The juice has a smell that humans cannot smell, but it can."
"Once it gets on you, it won't go away for a month, and it can't be covered up by washing with water or using other fragrances."
At this point, the little girl couldn't help but say with a hint of pride, "I've covered up the smell of the juice on the box, but I've never opened the box containing the secret manual, and I've never cleaned the juice off the manual inside."
"So once you've flipped through the manual, you'll leave your scent on your body. Just follow the direction of the fragrant bees, and they'll be able to find you."
"The fragrant bees are flying around your scabbard right now, so you used your sword to pry open the manual, right? It's clear you took the manual!"
"You mean, as long as you break the secret manual, this little bee can be found?" Hearing the other party's words, Shen Che's expression turned ugly, and his eyes revealed a hint of murderous intent.
"Tell me, was the liquid on the recipe applied later, or was it already there from the beginning?"
"Of course it was there from the beginning!"
"I knew it!" Shen Che felt a little panicked when the other party said that they had dealt with the smell of the juice on the box, but not the smell of the secret recipe.
Nine times out of ten, this is the Illusionary Heart Sect's anti-theft measure.
But when he finally received a definite answer from Luo Xichan, he was completely relieved.
The methods of these major sects are truly impossible to guard against!
He hadn't been surrounded by people from the Illusionary Heart Sect for several days. It could be luck, or it could be that they were using him to lure this young girl.
"Can this smell be masked?"
"Give me back the manual first!" Extending a hand, Luo Xichan said with a hint of threat, "If you give it back, I'll help you cover up the smell; otherwise, forget about it!"
"Do you think I'd believe you? Are you stupid?!" He threw the sword in his hand far away. With the help of Shen Che's immense power, the long sword drew an extremely long arc in mid-air and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, he was smart enough not to use his hands to take it directly, but instead used his sword to pick it up the whole time.
So what if that stuff gets on the sword? I don't want the sword anymore.
"Now what evidence do you have to prove I took the manual? Young lady, you need evidence to slander someone. Do you have any?"
"You, you, I!" It seemed like the first time he had encountered such a rogue, and he didn't know how to speak for a moment, only his chest heaving with anger.
"Giddy up, giddy up!" Just as Shen Che was about to teach this little girl a lesson and let her know how dangerous the martial world was, the sound of hooves came from afar.
The sound grew closer and closer, and soon it reached them.
Even before the distant figure got close, Shen Che had already seen the flying insect at the forefront, which was exactly the same as the Yingxiang Bee in Luo Xichan's hand.
The people from the Illusionary Heart Sect have come knocking on our door. I was right after all!
"Junior Sister, I've finally found you! You've been on my long search!"
The leader was probably not even thirty years old. Although he looked somewhat travel-worn, he couldn't hide the high spirits on his face.
Especially when seeing the cicada, there was no tenderness, but rather a sense of excitement like watching prey.
"Senior brother!" A disciple who had been watching Ying Xiangfeng suddenly whispered to him, "Ying Xiangfeng has flown away?"
"Hmm?" The young man glanced at his junior sister who was close at hand, and then at the fragrant bee that flew away into the distance. He then waved to his two junior brothers beside him.
The two then followed Ying Xiangfeng and continued their pursuit, while the others subtly surrounded the area.
"Third Senior Brother!" She glanced timidly at her senior brother, then glared resentfully at Shen Che. If it weren't for him, how could she have been found so easily?
Fortunately, it was my third senior brother who came. Although he was good at kung fu, he wasn't very agile, so I still had a chance to escape if I wanted to.
"Junior Sister, you didn't expect this, did you? I was the one who found you first. You and your lover had better come back with me now, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Third Senior Brother, you must believe me. I haven't betrayed Master, nor have I had any extramarital affairs!"
"You dare to do it but not admit it? You didn't? Then who is this?" Pointing a finger in Shen Che's direction, not only did his face reveal murderous intent, but the remaining disciples of the Illusion Heart Sect also slowly surrounded him.
Everyone's hidden weapons were subtly pointed at him, waiting for a command to unleash a deluge of projectiles upon him.
"Go back now and hand over the manual. I will plead with my master for mercy."
"As for him, he must die!"
"Me? I've become a lover?" Pointing to his nose, Shen Che saw certainty in their eyes.
"Don't get me wrong, I have absolutely no connection with your junior sister. I'm just passing by."
"Who else could it be but you, kid? You've been peeking at my Illusion Heart Sect's secret manual, haven't you? My junior sister is always careful; she must have removed the scent from the box where the manual was hidden. Otherwise, the Fragrance Bee wouldn't have remained completely unaware for so long."
"Now that Yingxiang Bee has reacted, there is only one possibility: you secretly read the manual. Otherwise, you would never have been exposed to the manual's scent, let alone be found by Yingxiang Bee."
She stared intently at Shen Che, while also looking him up and down, as if trying to see what was different about him, and why her arrogant junior sister had taken a liking to him.
But after looking at it for a while, apart from looking a bit pretty, it really doesn't have any highlights!
That's bad enough, but when things got out, he pushed the woman forward and tried to absolve himself of responsibility.
Ugh, what a scumbag, he deserves to die!
"Kid, you're really unlucky. Although the Yingxiang Bees can only search a radius of several dozen miles, I happened to be resting nearby, so I managed to snag one."
"Come on, take him down, dead or alive!"
"You're Mo Ying, the third senior brother of the Illusionary Heart Sect, right? You know, I gave you a chance."
