I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

#598 - Doubt (Additional chapter for the leader Feng Junzi Haoran)

Many people knew that Zhang Gaoqiu was the last one to leave the ancestral hall. Moreover, Zhang Gaoqiu was the assistant invited by the Shen family to help them refine this treasure. If, after everyone left, Zhang Gaoqiu had the opportunity to refine the treasure and then take the opportunity to put it away, this explanation would make sense, and the probability would be very high.

"I remember when the fire started, all of us were busy getting out to put out the fire, but Zhang Gaoqiu was still in the ancestral hall refining the treasure…"

Along with the disciple's voice, everyone's eyes turned to Zhang Gaoqiu. Zhang Gaoqiu suddenly changed color, his face darkened. Meeting the gazes of the elders, Zhang Gaoqiu said in a low voice: "What? Are you suspecting that I stole the treasure?"

"You have the ability and the opportunity to steal the treasure," the disciple questioned.

At this time, Shen Zhen, who was on the side, reprimanded the disciple: "Shut up! Don't talk nonsense. What kind of person is Zhang Gaoqiu, my virtuous nephew? How could he do such a despicable thing?"

Then he turned to Zhang Gaoqiu with a smile: "Zhang Gaoqiu, my virtuous nephew, don't blame us. Everyone in my family is in a state of confusion now. When people are sick, they rush to any doctor."

Zhang Gaoqiu's expression eased slightly upon hearing this: "I can understand everyone's anxiety about the loss of the treasure, so I can't blame this brother."

Shen Zhen nodded upon hearing this and asked softly: "You were the last to leave, my virtuous nephew. Did you notice anything unusual?"

Zhang Gaoqiu's expression changed upon hearing this, and then he took a breath before saying: "Uncle, I know how the treasure was lost, and I was even at the scene at the time. Unfortunately, the thief's methods were powerful, and I was actually plotted against and restrained by him. I could only watch helplessly as the treasure was lost…"

Zhang Gaoqiu's words immediately attracted the attention of the Shen family's experts. So, everyone in the Shen family looked over. Zhang Gaoqiu recounted how he was restrained, how his eyes were covered, and how the treasure disappeared when he regained his freedom.

Hearing this, the Shen family members looked up and down at Zhang Gaoqiu, a look of uncertainty in their eyes.

"Are you saying that someone immobilized your body and soul, and covered your eyes? And then, in this short quarter of an hour, stole the treasure?" Shen Xu asked at this time.

"That's right!" Zhang Gaoqiu nodded.

Zhang Gaoqiu's face was filled with anger upon hearing this: "Why are you insulting me like this, Uncle? I, Zhang Gaoqiu, act upright and honestly. How could I do such a thing?"

"Of course you have a reason to do such a thing. Originally, if Zhang Chen hadn't come, you would have been very likely to become my Shen family's son-in-law, and this treasure would naturally fall into your hands. But now that Zhang Chen has come, everything has become an unknown, and it is not impossible for you to have greed and resentment in your heart, so it is not impossible for you to secretly take the treasure," Shen Xu said coldly: "You have studied that treasure for nearly a year. If you have the opportunity to see through its mysteries and master it, it would be understandable."

Zhang Chen was watching the show coldly from the side, never expecting that he would be involved, eating melons and eating them on himself.

He could see clearly from the side that Shen Xu was playing the role of the black face at this time, while Shen Zhen was playing the role of the white face. The Shen family had already become suspicious of Zhang Gaoqiu.

"Uncle is simply quibbling. You suspect that I had the opportunity to steal the treasure, but there is still one person present who has a better opportunity to master the treasure. After all, he himself is the heir to that treasure. My aunt left a method on that treasure. As long as this brother of mine takes action, the treasure will recognize its ancestor and return to its origin. His suspiciousness is even greater than mine," Zhang Gaoqiu turned to look at Zhang Chen, with a hypocritical smile on his face: "Brother, don't blame me, I'm just making an analogy."

Shen Xu and the Shen family members all looked at Zhang Chen. Wang Xifeng on the side said: "In that case, Zhang Chen is also quite suspicious."

Hearing Wang Xifeng's words, a cold light flashed in Zhang Chen's eyes. He already knew this lady's position, and the other party was close to Zhang Gaoqiu.

"I was guarding my younger brother and sister in the yard at the time, and I didn't have time to commit the crime. Besides, where do I have the ability to subdue my elder cousin with one move? If I had that ability, why would I live this kind of dependent and miserable life? Why would I have to travel all the way to this place?" Zhang Chen defended himself, and then added a rhetorical question: "Grandfather, Second Grandfather, judging from your words, is the thing my mother left me lost? Was it stolen by a thief?"

There was a trace of unbelievable tremor in Zhang Chen's voice, and a hint of panic appeared in his eyes. The acting had to be evaluated as: perfect.

Faced with Zhang Chen's questioning, the Shen family members looked at each other, all not knowing how to answer. In the end, Shen Xu stood up and said: "Virtuous nephew, don't panic. No one in this world can steal anything from my Shen family. Even if the thief's methods are so powerful, we will still get it back for you."

Zhang Chen's face was angry at this time: "Which thief dared to steal my treasure?"

Then he said to Zhang Gaoqiu: "Brother, I don't agree with your previous words. That treasure was originally mine. If I want it, I can just take it openly and honestly. Why would I need to steal it?"

Then he turned to look at the Old Madam, his knees softened and he knelt directly on the ground: "Grandma, you must make the decision for me. That treasure is the only thing my mother left me. Now that the treasure is lost, how can I explain it to my dead mother?"

Looking at Zhang Chen with tears in his eyes, the Old Madam had no choice but to come forward to help Zhang Chen up, a gentle look in her eyes: "Good child, don't be wronged. Grandma will definitely make the decision for you."

Zhang Chen stood up smoothly, standing aside silently with tears in his eyes.

Cheng Yu's big eyes rolled around, surveying Zhang Chen. Recalling Zhang Chen's sudden departure, she had already determined in her heart that the Shen family's affairs were inseparable from Zhang Chen.

"Don't you dare slander Zhang Chen. You also said that a master lured away the Shen family's ancestor. Although we orphans and widows have some methods, we can't drive such a master…" Zhang Shi said.

Hearing this, the Shen family members all nodded secretly. It was true that Zhang Chen, an orphan and widow, could not possibly know such a master to support him. Otherwise, Zhang Chen would have already overturned his identity as a criminal and would not have come to Jinling to rely on his relatives?

So, everyone's eyes once again turned to Zhang Gaoqiu. Zhang Gaoqiu laughed in anger at this time: "Are you still suspecting me?"

"Whether you are the murderer or not, just let us check you," Shen Xu said.

Zhang Gaoqiu took a breath upon hearing this, but also said frankly: "Then you can check as you please. If I am not the murderer, you must give me an explanation. The Zhang family of Kyoto cannot be humiliated!"

"If you are not the murderer, we will naturally apologize to you," Shen Xu played the black face, and then his eyes swept over everyone in the Shen family: "The murderer calculated so seamlessly and appropriately, what does that mean? There is most likely an inside traitor in my Shen family. Not only Zhang Gaoqiu has to accept the inspection, but all of you have to accept the inspection. Everyone line up, one by one!"

Zhang Chen's expression was indifferent upon hearing this, and he secretly said in his heart: "If the Shen family's tenth-order god personally takes action to check, Cheng Yu, Zhang Fei and others are afraid that they will be exposed, and the cultivation on their bodies will not be able to be hidden. Fortunately, I have mastered the power of the Human Dao Reincarnation, and I can use the power of reincarnation to deceive that god."

The power of reincarnation was originally mysterious and endless. Zhang Chen came to Cheng Yu and the others and said to them: "Since the Shen family wants to check everyone, then let's line up and let them check. We have a clear conscience and are open-minded, what are we afraid of checking?"

While speaking, Zhang Chen pulled the three little ones into a line, while the power of reincarnation, the power of the Six-Syllable Mantra, and the Town Character Talisman flowed in his hands, flying into the three little ones' bodies without a trace.

The Town Character Talisman was already twelfth-order, enough to suppress all the mysterious power fluctuations in the three little ones' bodies, and Zhang Chen's power of reincarnation was originally full of mystery, covering their souls, disguising the divine soul cultivation of their souls as ordinary people.

Then, use the Six-Syllable Mantra to suppress them again, so that all the magical abilities of the three little ones are completely covered up.

As for Zhang Chen himself?

He has already refined the Human Dao Reincarnation, so naturally he has a way to cover up the aura on his body.

Then, the Shen family's tenth-order god took action, came to Zhang Gaoqiu's side, and began to examine every inch of flesh and blood, every inch of soul in Zhang Gaoqiu's body.

After a while, the inspection was completed, and the Shen family's tenth-order god, shrouded in divine light, shook his head, a look of disappointment in his eyes: "It's not him!"

"We are sorry for Zhang Gongzi. Don't worry, when the situation stabilizes, we will hold a banquet to apologize to you," Shen Zhen said on the side.

Zhang Gaoqiu snorted coldly upon hearing this and stood aside without speaking. The Shen family's tenth-order god circulated divine power around his body, checking everyone one by one, and before long, it was already Zhang Chen's family's turn.

With the power of reincarnation flowing on Zhang Chen's family, although the Shen family's ancestor was a tenth-order god, he still did not have the ability to see through the twelfth-order Town Character Talisman and the twelfth-order incomplete Six Paths of Reincarnation.

"It's not them! There is no aura in their souls," the Shen family god said.

Since the Shen family god has spoken, then of course there is no problem. Zhang Chen and others naturally avoided suspicion.
