Chapter 706: Is there a way to save the Phoenix Tail Flower?

"Cough!" Masked Leader cleared his throat and asked solemnly, "What exactly happened?"

The middle-aged man gave a rough description of what happened.

"You mean, when the incident happened, only those two were present, right?"

"Yes."

"Leader, you can't just believe her side of the story!" Lü Yi said pitifully.

"Can I just believe your side of the story?"

"No, I didn't mean that!" Lü Yi was startled and hurriedly denied.

Lü Yi looked at the woman behind the leader, her eyes lit up, "Sister."

Qing Yi is Lü Yi's older sister, but compared to Lü Yi, Qing Yi's status in the Spirit Chaser Wing is much higher.

"Lü Yi, tell the truth!"

Meeting Qing Yi's stern gaze, Lü Yi's heart trembled, she involuntarily struggled, but thinking that if the leader learned the truth, her fate would be grim, she gradually firmed her stance.

Absolutely cannot let the leader know that she destroyed the Phoenix Tail Flower!

"Sister, I really didn't!"

Qing Yi nodded, "Alright, I believe you!"

"Leader, Lü Yi has never lied to me; I think this time, the fault isn't hers..."

The Masked Leader turned his face to look at Qing Yi; Qing Yi hastily closed her mouth, knowing she had overstepped.

"What do you think? Who do you think you are?" Qing Yi's expression changed, she hurriedly knelt, "Qing Yi admits her fault; please punish me, Leader."

The Masked Leader ignored her further, and only then did Qing Yi notice a cold sweat breaking out on her back.

The Masked Leader looked at Ye Qingran, "You want me to believe you; do you have any evidence?"

"Is there an apothecary?" Ye Qingran asked.

Upon hearing Ye Qingran's words, Lü Yi's eyes flickered.

What is she looking for an apothecary for?

"She's definitely just trying to be mysterious! Definitely!"

She silently comforted herself.

"Yes." The Masked Leader nodded, "Go fetch Old Ming."

Everyone in the Spirit Chaser Wing was stunned.

Old Ming is the Spirit Chaser Wing's apothecary, his strength is great, he is a Dan Saint capable of refining high-quality Saint Pills.

The Leader just called for Old Ming; isn't that putting this woman too low? Wouldn't summoning Old Ming's disciple be enough?

However, even if they were dissatisfied, they dared not say another word.

"What do you want me for? If you delay my alchemy, can you bear the responsibility?"

"He better give me a satisfactory reason!"

Before even seeing the person, I heard the old man's grumbling voice.

Everyone was used to it.

The old man was disheveled, holding a tattered prescription in his hand while researching, muttering, "Where exactly is the problem?"

"The person is here; speak, what do you need him to do?"

The Masked Leader looked at Ye Qingran, a hint of anticipation hidden in his eyes.

"Old Ming, as a Dan Saint, you surely know the properties of the Phoenix Tail Flower, right?"

Old Ming was still lost in his thoughts; hearing Ye Qingran's voice, he instinctively looked at her and nodded, "Of course I know."

"Good."

Lü Yi swallowed hard, not knowing what the properties of the Phoenix Tail Flower Ye Qingran mentioned were.

Ye Qingran inhaled, a Phoenix Tail Flower petal appeared in her hand; she infused a strand of Mysterious Force into it, then tossed the petal to Old Ming, "Please help me check if the Mysterious Force in this petal is the same as that in the other Phoenix Tail Flower petals."

"What?"

Lü Yi's pupils contracted sharply, the hand hidden in her sleeve instantly clenched.

"No, how could Mysterious Force possibly remain on a petal? Impossible!"

Old Ming furrowed his brows, refusing, "Such a simple thing, I won't do it! I'm busy!"

"Old Ming!" the Masked Leader shouted; Old Ming pursed his lips like a child, "Since this little girl knows that Phoenix Tail Flower petals can store Mysterious Force, she surely also knows how to tell them apart!"

"What?"

"The Phoenix Tail Flower has the function of storing Mysterious Force?"

Lü Yi was shocked beyond words.

Just now, it was the Phoenix Tail Flower she struck; that would mean...

Ye Qingran shrugged: "I'm now a suspect!"

Old Ming: "......"

He could only reluctantly pick up a petal, and place the petal infused with Ye Qingran's Mysterious Force and another petal each in his palms.

Lü Yi trembled all over from anxiety, silently praying in her heart.

However, after a moment, Old Ming said, "It's obviously not the Mysterious Force of a single person!"

Upon hearing that, everyone was stunned.

"Wasn't the Phoenix Tail Flower destroyed by Ye Qingran? How could it not be a type of Mysterious Force?"

Lü Yi's whole body went stiff, her entire person felt like falling into an ice cellar.

For a moment, everyone's gaze focused on Lü Yi; even Qing Yi frowned and questioned her, "Lü Yi, what exactly is going on?"

Under so many eyes, Lü Yi felt she was about to suffocate, her scalp tingling, "I..."

Everyone saw Lv Yi so frightened and abnormal, and they somewhat understood what was going on.

"Lv Yi, how dare you?" Qing Yi, hateful that iron cannot be made into steel.

Lv Yi suddenly knelt down, "Leader, I didn't do it, it was her..."

"Shut up!" the Masked Leader's voice was thin, cold, and stern, as if coming from hell, making Lv Yi tremble all over, not daring to say another word.

"I'm asking you, was it you who did it?" his voice was very soft.

However, Lv Yi sensed the smell of death, she knelt on the ground trembling, "Yes, yes, it was me..."

So it really was Lv Yi!

Seeing Lv Yi personally admit it, everyone in the Spirit Chaser Wing found it unbelievable that she had lied, yet they still believed her.

"Lv Yi, you really let me down!" Qing Yi's eyes were full of disappointment.

"Older sister, sorry... I didn't mean it, it was all her..."

Pa—

Qing Yi delivered a slap from a distance.

"You're still being stubborn!"

Lv Yi was struck until she vomited blood.

Qing Yi, still angry and disappointed, could not bear it because the other party was ultimately her younger sister.

"Expel her from the Spirit Chaser Wing." the Masked Leader's tone allowed no objection.

Both sisters, Qing Yi and Lv Yi, felt as if struck by lightning.

"No! Leader, don't!"

"Get out!"

Qing Yi knew the Leader's mind was set; the best outcome was for her younger sister to leave the Spirit Chaser Wing.

After Lv Yi was taken away, everyone looked at Ye Qingran, feeling somewhat ashamed.

They almost wronged her...

The Masked Leader looked at Ye Qingran, "Sorry, I wronged you."

Ye Qingran didn't mind much.

The Masked Leader asked again, "Old Ming, do you have a way to revive this Phoenix Tail Flower?"

Old Ming thought for a moment, shook his head regretfully, "No."

He knew the Leader had deep feelings for this flower, because it was left behind by Miss Yun Ling, but his ability was limited, truly unable to help despite his love.
