[Seeing Master Han Qi’s soul and body dissipate,]
[He Jinjiao and Zhou Boyi both felt joy in their hearts.]
[They exchanged a furtive glance.]
[This subtle action was caught by Ye Yu.]
[He couldn’t help but wonder, could it be that they were the ones who stole the “Ten Thousand Ghosts Night Walk Map”?]
[The fourth disciple Miao Jinren trembled violently, his fear reaching an extreme.]
[For a moment, he became incoherent, repeatedly insisting it wasn’t him, truly not him.]
[Suddenly, He Jinjiao stepped forward,]
[her expression full of fear, saying, “Master, I—I suddenly remembered something.]
[When you left, I saw the eldest senior brother often wandering inside Yin Hai Hall, and stopping several times in the Ming Treasure Pavilion.”]
[“I think the eldest senior brother might know something.”]
[Her words directly pointed the blame at Ye Yu.]
[In an instant, all ghosts present looked at the eldest senior brother of Yin Hai Hall.]
[They all knew]
[that Ye Yu usually never cultivated and often wandered around.]
[So if there was any suspicion, it should be on Ye Yu the most.]
[Faced with He Jinjiao’s accusation,]
[Ye Yu’s shoulders twitched slightly.]
[Not out of fear,]
[but excitement!]
[Finally, finally the opportunity had come.]
[Honestly, Ye Yu wandered around Yin Hai Hall every day simply because he had nothing else to do.]
[But by heaven’s conscience, whatever Master Han Qi lost, he truly did not take it.]
[In terms of personal integrity, he was rock solid!]
[He never stole anything.]
[Moreover, even putting that aside,]
[how could something worthy of Han Qi’s attention be touched by a mere Qi Refining Realm cultivator like him?]
[He Jinjiao’s words were strongly accusatory—pure framing!]
[It looked like the “Ten Thousand Ghosts Night Walk Map” was definitely stolen by her.]
[Otherwise, why would she be so eager to shift blame?]
[But if that were true, it should satisfy the framing talent’s conditions—so why was there no reaction?]
[Could it be that the framing wasn’t obvious enough?]
[Thinking this, Ye Yu frowned slightly.]
[“Fifth junior sister, if you want to frame me, do it properly!”]
[“Saying it so vaguely, what’s the point?”]
[“Such a useless waste.”]
[“Fine, I’ll help you then!”]
[Ye Yu looked firmly at He Jinjiao and said in a deep voice, “Fifth junior sister, if you have something to say, say it clearly!”]
[“Don’t beat around the bush, don’t be vague!”]
[“If you have the guts, make it clear!”]
[He Jinjiao sneered inside but was stubborn.]
[However, she did not intend to directly accuse Ye Yu.]
[That would be too obvious a frame!]
[She needed to maintain her innocent white lotus image]
[to avoid arousing Master Han Qi’s suspicion,]
[waiting for him to lower his guard.]
[Then it would be the time for her and senior brother to act.]
[In fact, before coming to Yin Hai Hall, He Jinjiao and Zhou Boyi were already Dao partners.]
[They had offended a big shot in another ghost sect,]
[so they fled here and changed their names.]
[Planning to stay here for a while.]
[When they learned about the “Ten Thousand Ghosts Night Walk Map,”]
[their previously calm hearts began to stir again.]
[As disciples from a major ghost sect,]
[they naturally had the vision and knowledge.]
[They knew the map was a top-grade ghost immortal artifact that had shone brightly in the hands of a ghost king.]
[After the ghost king’s fall, the artifact vanished.]
[Unexpectedly, it had been obtained by Han Qi.]
[Such a treasure—how could He Jinjiao and Zhou Boyi not be tempted?]
[Coincidentally, Han Qi went out searching for the Broken-Heart Grass.]
[They immediately made a plan.]
[Zhou Boyi followed Han Qi on the trip,]
[while He Jinjiao stayed in Yin Hai Hall to steal the map.]
[After the plan succeeded,]
[Han Qi would be furious.]
[He Jinjiao would disrupt his mind and frame other senior brothers.]
[Then, taking advantage of Han Qi’s unpreparedness,]
[Zhou Boyi, just entering Ghost Immortal Realm, would use the map’s power to kill him.]
[Then truly take the top-grade ghost immortal artifact as their own.]
[They would also seize the wealth accumulated ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) by Han Qi over the years—a true two-birds-one-stone.]
[Currently, the plan was progressing smoothly.]
[Next, they only needed to keep muddying the waters!]
[He Jinjiao covered her face with one hand, pretending to be very aggrieved, and said, “Eldest senior brother, how can you be so fierce to me?”]
[“I just wanted to say that since you wander the sect every day, you probably know more information.”]
[“So I just want you to tell us the situation. Why are you so agitated?”]
[“You scared me to tears!”]
[Hearing this,]
[Ye Yu felt extremely uncomfortable!]
[It’s already at this stage, yet they’re still speaking so ambiguously.]
[Can’t they be more straightforward?]
[Ugh, such a annoying woman!]
[Getting angrier and angrier, Ye Yu suddenly stepped forward and pointed at He Jinjiao.]
[“Make yourself clear. What do you mean by me being agitated?”]
[“Do you mean I stole Master Han Qi’s ‘Ten Thousand Ghosts Night Walk Map,’ right?”]
[He Jinjiao inwardly blossomed with joy.]
[Good, good, the more agitated, the better!]
[This way suspicion grows.]
[“Eldest senior brother, you really are the chosen scapegoat!”]
[He Jinjiao pretended to be afraid and stepped back two steps, then looked at Master Han Qi with a very wronged expression.]
[Seeing this, Han Qi couldn’t help but become suspicious.]
[Usually, Ye Yu always appeared calm and indifferent.]
[How could he be so agitated today?]
[Could it be that Ye Yu really stole the map?]
[Did he really have that ability?]
[Han Qi’s gaze toward Ye Yu was full of doubt.]
[But he still said nothing.]
[This made Ye Yu extremely anxious.]
[What a useless sect!]
[A junior sister already said things this clearly.]
[As the master, you should at least help her continue the frame.]
[Can’t just hold back and say nothing!]
[Should I add more fuel to the fire?]
[Ye Yu stepped forward again, about to speak,]
[when a figure blocked the space between him and He Jinjiao.]
[It was second senior brother Zhou Boyi.]
[“Eldest senior brother, the matter has come to this point. Is there really a need to continue?”]
[“In my opinion, you stole Master’s ‘Ten Thousand Ghosts Night Walk Map.’ Your agitation clearly shows you’re guilty!”]
[“Maybe you have even refined the treasure secretly, right?”]
[Hearing Zhou Boyi’s righteous words, Ye Yu felt much relieved.]
[Finally, someone straightforward!]
[At the same time, the system’s voice came as expected.]
[Detected the host was successfully framed and falsely accused; as long as the host admits, the matter becomes true!]
[Obtained the top-grade ghost immortal artifact ‘Ten Thousand Ghosts Night Walk Map’ and successfully fully refined it!]
