Imperial Treasure-Chapter 984 - 590: Time

He saw the corpse, was first stunned, then bent down to examine it for a long time, and then fell silent.

This silence suddenly made the atmosphere tense. Gong Jiu and others suppressed many urges not to draw their weapons, because the people from Mountain Hua were the same.

"Where was it found?" he asked hoarsely after getting up.

"Under the bed?"

A disciple from Mountain Hua said.

Gong Jiu couldn’t hold back: "Under the bed? You said under the bed? Our Sui Yi would be such a tasteless brute? If she wanted to kill someone, she could at least have done away with the body in a tidy manner, not hide it under a bed! Why don’t you just say it was found on the bed!"

This disciple was still young. He was startled when he first found the body, and now faced with Gong Jiu, this cold and imposing femme fatale, he was scared dumb.

Mu Ziyu stepped out to speak again: "Miss Gong, we have yet to determine the rights and wrongs of this matter, please calm down."

I am not calm!

Everywhere I go, they are eager to frame others. Now, they’ve even thought of hiding a body under the bed.

"This method is too low! Whoever did this must be brainless."

The implication being that whoever believes it is also brainless.

The people from Mountain Hua twitched their mouths and looked towards the Mount Hua Mountain Chief and other elders.

As well as the few Pavilion Masters present...

Luo Zong looked at the corpse and suddenly said: "The sword wound on it...seems like..."

"It’s mine," Sui Yi said, her finger hooking around the sword on her waist.

"This sword wound can only be caused by my sword in the world."

So there.

Gong Jiu and others stared wide-eyed.

Sister, can’t you be less proactive!

"Last night, didn’t you pass out after seeing someone? Someone must have pulled out your sword to frame you, Sui Yi," Yhan Qingwu actively reminded, naturally not reminding Sui Yi, but the others.

"Sui Yi has mentioned this before too."

Ye Zixu and Yhan Qingwu’s words had no effect, as someone pointed out: "Ah~ this is the biggest question, isn’t it? I can’t imagine someone who could drug Master Sui and pull out her sword to frame her, why didn’t they just kill her? Besides, she didn’t mention this matter in the morning; if it wasn’t for what happened with Chen Yuniang, she probably wouldn’t have mentioned it at all, isn’t that strange?"

Lin popped out of nowhere and whispered this statement.

Gong Jiu and others were speechless, there was no need to say more, mainly watching Mountain Hua’s attitude...and Sui Yi’s attitude.

Sui Yi had been very silent from the beginning.

No one knew what she was thinking.

Natasha crossed her arms, leaning against the door, her eyes moved from Sui Yi’s face to glance at Elder Bai and Frank.

Liew Baiyi stood outside the door, his gaze passing over everyone’s head, unable to see those inside, but his face held a special smile, as if lost in thought.

However, he soon left.

Not far away, Wu Xie, holding his sword, watched him leave...

"Master Sui, if Mountain Hua wishes to trouble you to stay here for three days, would you?"

The Mount Hua Mountain Chief asked Sui Yi slowly.

Sui Yi looked at him, thought for a while, and said: "Okay."

She agreed readily.

Gong Jiu and the others weren’t anxious anymore.

When things go awry, there must be a reason.

Since Sui Yi dared to agree, she must ensure she can get away.

The night deepened, and the "imprisoned" Sui Yi felt no pressure of being detained. In fact, Gong Jiu and others, upon receiving permission, saw where Sui Yi was held.

"Damn, I also want to live here."

"Equipped for music, chess, calligraphy, and painting!"

"Beautiful scenery with waterfalls, there’s a hot spring inside!"

"No guards?"

Very well, Gong Jiu and others were relieved, and tried to use various means, even sacrificing looks, to accompany her in detention.

Mountain Hua maintained a cold attitude.

NO!

Mu Ziyu could only politely refuse Gong Jiu’s request and reminded them: "Ladies and gentlemen, please leave here as soon as possible... As for Miss Sui’s safety, you can rest assured. I think if someone could truly harm her, nowhere would be safe."

"As for the investigation, Mountain Hua can naturally guess the intentions of those people, but since there’s no way to counter on the surface, this is the best we can do, please understand."

Gong Jiu and others knew very well that Demon Que’s sword wound was the most critical evidence, which is why Sui Yi didn’t argue.

"I hope so, if she really..." Gong Jiu still wanted to say some harsh words, and Sui Yi looked towards Mu Ziyu.

The latter understood: "You guys chat first, I’ll step out."
