Tang Feng's strength and power were certainly not enough to challenge Jian Zong.
Spiritual Medicine Valley has money and popularity, but in this world, hard power is the most important.
Other melon-eating people did not expect that things would develop to this extent. They quickly grabbed Tang Feng and told him not to be so impulsive.
Tang Feng did not mention the sword to kill him again. He was a little more awake now, and of course he would not do such irrational things again.
He just completely ignored Chongxu's warning and asked in a cold voice: "Does Master Chongxu want to protect the thief?"
"Tang Valley Master must be careful. Zhou Ran just lost the skills of my Sword Sect. He will naturally be punished by the sect's laws, but this is not the reason for others to slander my Sword Sect's disciples."
The attitude of the great elder angered Tang Feng even more. He refused to give in and said: "I dare to ask the real person, it was just yesterday that it was reported that the little girl has the body of a mysterious female, and she needs the nine-turn technique of Xuanyin to replenish it.
That night, he went to take out the exercise method, and it was stolen not long after. Do you really want to say this is a coincidence?"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of others looking at Zhou Ran and the Great Elder suddenly felt something was wrong.
They have also heard about the Shenlong Jiu Tan technique, and of course they know that it is not a cheap thing.
If it wasn't useful, who would spend a lot of money to buy it.
Zhou Ran bought it, which means that he is no longer involved in this matter.
Master Chongxu had an ugly look on his face. Of course he knew why Zhou Ran went to exchange for Shenlong Nine Detectives. Of course it was for fishing.
Unexpectedly, the fish ate the bait, but the hook came off, and the fisherman fell into the water.
Master Chongxu was in a dilemma.
If you explain the reason, he eavesdropped on the younger generation's plans and used them for his grandson, where would he put his old face?
Without an explanation, Zhou Ran would not be able to get rid of the suspicion.
While he was thinking, Jiang Qingyun opened his mouth to smooth things over.
"Master Tang, please don't get excited. Why don't we listen to what Zhou Ran has to say first."
Master Chongxu didn't realize that Jiang Qingyun was helping. This woman didn't look like a good person.
But what Jiang Qingyun said was reasonable, and everyone focused on Zhou Ran.
Zhou Ran had never felt such great pressure before, especially the look in Tang Feng's eyes that wanted to kill him, which made him even more frightened and terrified.
Under tremendous psychological pressure, he couldn't help but look at Master Chongxu, but Jiang Qingyun stood between the two, completely blocking his sight.
Jiang Qingyun also comforted him: "Don't be nervous, as long as you are innocent, we will not wrong anyone. Tell me, why did you want to borrow that exercise book?"
"I'm here to lure the snake out of its hole."
At this time, Zhou Ran's mind was working rapidly and he reached his limit.
Of course, he would not admit that he plagiarized Zhang Chi's idea. He only said that he came up with the strategy of luring the snake out of its hole after hearing that Tang Ruoling had the body of a mysterious female.
This not only protects the face of the grandson, but also clears one's own suspicions.
In order to prove what he said, Jiang Qingyun called the members of the Law Enforcement Hall and the managers of the Jingge who participated in the operation last night, and called on the disciples who were in the Jingge last night to come out and testify.
They confirmed the time Zhou Ran borrowed the secret book, the time he left, and the time he got home.
After checking, I found that this time is very short.
Jiang Qingyun calmly analyzed: "If what you said is true, then the thief was in Jingge at that time, otherwise, he would not have attacked you in such a short period of time."
The scope of suspicion was suddenly reduced a lot, and Tang Feng became more cautious. He temporarily put aside his resentment towards Zhou Ran and turned to look at the disciples in the Scripture Pavilion.
Jiang Qingyun asked: "After Zhou Ran left, who else left?"
Coincidentally, the time between Zhou Ran's departure and the attack was within a quarter of an hour.
But within half an hour after he left the Jingge, no one left the Jingge.
They can verify this with each other.
Not only that, Zhou Ran also arranged for people to keep an eye on Jingge yesterday. He wanted to see who heard the news and who deliberately spread the news.
The result is obvious. Although the people in the Jingge were gossiping at that time, they did not go around talking nonsense. The members of the Law Enforcement Hall who were watching could also prove that no one went out at that time and no one was summoned.
If the thief was not in the Jing Pavilion, how did he know that Zhou Ran had taken away the Nine Detectives of the Dragon and how could he complete the attack so accurately and quickly?
The most likely possibility is that Zhou Ran directed and acted on his own.
The pressure came to Zhou Ran again.
He also didn't expect that he was shooting himself in the foot. He made so many arrangements, but in the end he only proved that there was no problem for others.
If others have no problems, it means they have big problems.
Master Chongxu immediately expressed his position, saying: "I believe Zhou Ran will not collude with the thieves. If he really colludes, why should people keep an eye on Jingge? It is better to leave it alone and pass the suspicion to them.
And if he really colluded with the thieves and got all the skills, why didn't he make the intervening time longer?"
There was some truth to this, but Tang Feng didn't believe it and retorted on the spot: "How do you know he didn't do the opposite in order to reduce his suspicion?
No matter how you say it, his statement is unconvincing. He is either a thief or colluding with a thief. Could it be that the real person wants to say that the thief guessed that Lingsun would definitely borrow the secret book, so he laid an ambush in advance?"
Who can’t just talk about idealism without evidence?
Just saying this, trying to clear the suspicion, how can it be such a good thing?
Chongxu's face was gloomy, and the multiple-choice question before him was still there.
If your grandson is gone, you can still have one, but if your reputation is gone, it is gone.
He was still hesitating about which choice to make, but Zhou Ran had already made his choice.
No one can prove his innocence except his grandfather.
Every time Zhou Ran met Tang Feng's murderous eyes, he felt guilty.
If this lunatic thinks that he and the thief are together, he will probably take revenge at all costs.
He still has a bright future, but he can't let it end here.
Facing the doubts of many seniors and the onlookers of some peers, Zhou Ran finally couldn't bear the pressure and resigned.
"I really want to lure the snake out of the hole. I know that Tang Ruoling is not the body of a mysterious female, so this nine-turn technique of Xuanyin is useless."
When Zhou Ran said this, everyone was shocked.
The amount of information here is too great, how do you know that Tang Ruoling is not the body of a mysterious female?
And Tang Feng's eyes were even sharper.
At this time, it didn't matter whether his and Zhang Chi's plan was exposed or not. He stared at Zhou Ran and said, "Only Zhang Chi and I should know about this matter. Who told you?"
It was impossible for Tang Feng to say it himself, and he knew everything about the relationship between Zhang Chi and Zhou Ran, and it was impossible for him to tell the truth.
At this point, Zhou Ran had given up resistance.
Now that I have recruited some of them, I might as well recruit them all.
"My grandpa said it..."
Zhou Ran explained the matter very clearly, and the suspicion was naturally cleared. Since he knew that Tang Ruoling was not a mysterious female, it was indeed impossible for him to take away the skills and pretend to be attacked.
The melon-eaters present looked at the grandfather and grandson with strange eyes.
The grandson was blindly arrogant, self-righteous, and greedy for success. Forget it, he actually betrayed his own grandfather without hesitation in order to prove his innocence.
Grandpa used his power to suppress the outstanding disciples of the sect, handed over power to incompetent juniors, and plagiarized the achievements of juniors for his own juniors.
All kinds of behavior are disgusting.
After today, the grandfather and grandson are completely ruined...
