"Since Senior Jie Yin is here, I, Shen, have something to ask you. Just now, the two elders Qinshan and Li He said that I stole ginseng fruits and destroyed ginseng fruit trees. They also claimed that they had evidence in their hands. I wonder where the evidence is? Elder Jie Yin, please tell me clearly." Shen Luo looked at Taoist Jie Yin and asked calmly.
"Mr. Shen, there is no need to be angry. The matter has not been confirmed yet. Those were the rash words spoken by Qin Shan and the others just now. Please forgive me, Mr. Shen." The Taoist Jie Yin said with a faint smile.
"Elder Jie Yin, why are you not sure? It's obvious..." Qin Shan couldn't help but say.
But before he could finish his words, the Taoist Jie Yin looked at him again. He opened his mouth, but had to swallow the rest of his words.
Shen Luo had an indifferent expression, he just watched quietly without saying anything.
"My dear friend Shen, to be honest, there was another theft in our temple last night. Two ginseng fruits were stolen, and the ginseng fruit tree suddenly withered due to some unknown magical power." The Taoist Jie Yin stared into Shen Luo's eyes and said slowly.
Although Shen Luo had already heard about this from Qin Shan and Li He, his brows were still furrowed when he heard the Taoist Jie Yin describe the specific details.
"I wonder where Young Master Shen was last night? What did he do? Is there any witness?" The Taoist Jie Yin asked slowly, his eyes becoming sharp.
"I have been refining weapons in the Sun and Moon Palace these days and have never left. It was the same last night. As for the witness, Fellow Daoist Mingyue has been guarding outside the valley. He should know." Shen Luo said without any hesitation, and finally glanced at Mingyue.
Mingyue looked hesitant and said nothing.
"Hmph! You covered the Sun and Moon Palace with restrictions, and you can't see what's going on inside from the outside. Mingyue was just sitting in meditation outside the valley, and he didn't cover the Sun and Moon Palace with his spiritual sense all the time. How could he have discovered you using escape techniques to quietly leave?" Qin Shan refuted with a sneer.
Shen Luo's eyes darkened. Although Qin Shan's words were far-fetched, they were not completely unreasonable.
"Whether you believe it or not, I did not leave the Sun and Moon Palace last night." He said after a moment of silence.
"Fellow Daoist, do you have any way to prove this?" asked the Taoist Jie Yin.
"I have no way to prove it, but I would like to ask Senior Jie Yin, why do you think I stole the ginseng fruit and destroyed the fruit tree? The two elders Qin Shan and Li He even came to arrest me directly." Shen Luo asked back.
"We suspect Young Master Shen for four main reasons." The Taoist Jie Yin did not refuse to answer and stretched out four fingers.
"I'd like to hear the details." Shen Luo said with a bow.
"First, the Hundred Fruit Fairy Meeting has ended. Now, in the entire Wuzhuang Temple, except for Young Master Shen, there is no outsider." The Taoist Jie Yin said slowly.
Shen Luo frowned but did not refute.
"Secondly, Young Master Shen has been in the Sun and Moon Palace all this time. The Sun and Moon Palace is very close to the fairy fruit garden where the ginseng fruit is located. Moreover, Young Master Shen has also asked Mingyue about the fairy fruit garden and the ginseng fruit tree before, right?" The Taoist Jie Yin continued.
Shen Luo's expression remained unchanged, and he sighed secretly in his heart. He had asked out of curiosity that day, but he didn't expect to get himself into big trouble.
"As for the third reason, ever since the ginseng fruit was lost last time, I have set up a small restriction near the ginseng fruit tree. This restriction has no defense or detection functions, and its aura is extremely weak. Its only function is to record nearby images. This is what the restriction recorded." The Taoist continued, taking out a white sphere, in which a figure flying past emerged.
