If I, Qin Lie, do not want to kneel, that is, unless you beat me to death! Today, I respect Protector Xia Shi as the Family Elder, my prestige and prestige are both high and mighty, and I am willing to kneel and bow, not because I have done wrong, but because I must kneel, and hope that Protector Xia Shi will do things impartially! "

Qin Lie's voice was loud and clear, carrying a sense of righteousness and righteousness.

"Qin Lie, do you know where this place is?! Daring to behave so atrociously in the Clan Hall and treating our clan laws as nothing, you must be punished strictly, are you still not willing to admit your wrongs?" Xia Shi's face was stern, his expression sullen.

"Then can Protector Xia Shi please tell us what was Qin Lie's mistake?" Qin Lie asked.

"What a great Qin Lie, he truly will not repent even if he dies!" Xia Shi was so angry that he laughed instead, his eyes cold: "You have sinned for three times, the first time was when you had no master, Miss once instructed the people of the Wang Mansion to collect dewdrops, Ice Soul Frost Python beast cores, used to forge the Divine Weapon Frost Sword, but you slacked off and did not manage to gather any dewdrops, you should be punished!"

"For the second one, members of the same clan are not allowed to kill each other and look down on the clan rules. However, you beat up Xia Feng and cut off one of his arms. Everyone knows that, so what else do you have to say for yourself!"

"The third step is also a crime that cannot be forgiven. You should take this opportunity while the young miss is away to gain experience, sneak into the treasury in the middle of the night, and steal the Origin Gathering Pills! Young miss's cultivation is an essential Pill, but you stole it. If not for Tu Mo and the rest discovering it in time, I'm afraid that they would have already succeeded.

"Yes sir!"

The two guards strode forward, holding a silver sword in their hands, their expressions cold as they pressed forward.

"Stop!" Qin Lie shouted angrily, he had been holding back this entire time, just to avoid being tricked by Xia Heng and the others, but now that he saw Xia Shi's attitude, his expression quickly became cold, and released a force that prevented people from approaching him, immediately causing the two guards to tremble, and forget about their movements.

Qin Lie's face was cold, his eyes filled with veins of blood, and said loudly: "If I, Qin Lie, do something wrong, I would be magnanimous and willing to be punished, but …" Qin Lie snorted, he looked coldly at Tu Mo and Xia Heng. There was something wrong with Xia Heng and Tu Mo's hearts. They did not dare to meet his gaze and could not help but lower their heads.

"If anyone dares to frame me, I, Qin Lie, will definitely not yield. If anyone dares to force me, we'll just have to fight! " Qin Lie's tone was sonorous and forceful, it was loud and clear, like a great bell and great rune, each word was filled with boundless might, like a raging tide that swept across the entire Clan Hall.

"Pfft!"

Tu Mo, Xia Heng and Xia Shi's faces suddenly changed, as though they had suffered a heavy blow, blood actually flowed out from the corner of their mouths!

At the same time, Xia Menglan's face also changed. She immediately formed a seal and focused her mind, as if she was resisting the invasion of some kind of mysterious power.

After a long while, she calmed down, but it seemed that she had consumed a lot of energy. She panted heavily and mumbled to herself. "Haoqi, righteous qi, it's actually righteous qi …"

When Qin Lie's words reached the ears of the guards, who had been expressionless the entire time, the expressions of each and every one of them changed drastically. They could not help but wail out loud.

Seeing that, Qin Lie was surprised, what happened? He had only spoken a few words, but why did it seem like they were heavily injured?

However, after a while, Qin Lie was suddenly overjoyed, "Could it be that this is the power of Righteous Energy?"

In this world, there were not only cultivators, there was also a mysterious group of people. They were indistinct in the city and were powerless, but they were strong enough to fight against cultivators.

Their names were the Confucian Scholars!

Those who are righteous will follow the luck of heaven and earth, read four books and five scriptures, plan and plan, and win by a thousand miles. This kind of person had a natural righteous aura around him, and when it seeped out, it was like a huge wave was crashing down through the heavens and the earth. Not even cultivators would dare to fight against it head on.

This was the Righteous Qi!

Some people were born with a sense of righteousness. These people were destined to be sages of their generation, and their names would be recorded in the annals of history. Of course, there were also those that were picked up by the future geniuses.

Qin Lie, the latter, had developed it the day after tomorrow.

"Protector Xia Shi, you said that I was disrespectful to Master, harmed fellow clansmen, and stole Pill s. If you can answer my question, I'm willing to accept any punishment!"

Without waiting for Xia Shi to agree, Qin Lie's eyes that were filled with a dazzling brilliance, suddenly seemed to be filled with an endless amount of magic! Looking at Xia Shi, he said: "I neglected Master, there is a reason behind the matter."

"Humph!" I'd like to hear what you have to say. " Xia Shi's eyes were wide opened, just a few words of righteousness from Qin Lie was actually able to shock him, causing his dantian to be damaged, causing him to be extremely furious.

He was a Family Elder of Clan Hall and was a highly respected figure. Who would dare to speak to him like that normally? But now, there was actually such a person that stood up to him.

"You want to judge based on this?" Qin Lie sneered, and said: "There are many ways to collect dewdrops and beast cores, but there is still a more direct and effective way, and that is to steal it! If they were stronger than everyone else, even if they stole someone's item, who would dare to complain? Isn't it Big Brother Tu? "

"Qin Lie, just because I have always been concerned about you, you slander me! When did I steal your beast core? " In his panic, Tu Mo blurted out those words. After he finished speaking, he realized that he had leaked the information, and stared at Qin Lie venomously. "Qin Lie, you tricked me!"

"I didn't say anything." Qin Lie looked deeply at Tu Mo.

"Protector Xia Shi cannot be so easily believed, Qin Lie is pestering us and blabbering nonsense, obviously trying to divert our attention, furthermore, it is us who are questioning him, not him who is interrogating us." Seeing that Qin Lie had faint signs of helping him escape, Xia Heng quickly reminded him.

Xia Shi's face ashened. Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by a cold voice.

"Family Elder, let's pass off the first crime. I just want to know why my Origin Gathering Pill has fallen into your hands." Xia Menglan said indifferently.

Since Xia Menglan had spoken, then he could only compromise. She glanced coldly at Qin Lie, and said angrily: "Then tell me, why did Miss's Soul Gathering Pellet fall into your hands? If you can't explain it clearly, then your crime will be even higher."

Tu Mo and Xia Heng's hearts tightened, but they relaxed shortly after. As they stared coldly at Qin Lie, the corners of their mouths curled into a sneer, as though they were holding onto the big picture.

Stealing Ling Dan was a huge crime, not to mention that Xia Menglan was about to undergo a breakthrough in her closed door cultivation.

"Hehe, Qin Lie, don't you know how to quibble? Aren't you righteous? "Why don't you say it again? I want to see if you can rely on your glib tongue to explain your three crimes!" Tu Mo walked up and said coldly, obviously harboring ill intentions.

Hearing this, Qin Lie's eyes lit up, he did not seem to be afraid at all. Instead, with a smile, he said to Xia Menglan: "Miss, may I ask, who told you about the Soul Gathering Pellet being lost?"

"Naturally, it's Great Protector Xia Heng." Xia Menglan said, puzzled.

Qin Lie's smile became wider, and his voice became even louder: "That's it, how did Xia Heng and Tu Mo know that I took Miss's Pill?"

With that said, Qin Lie saw that Xia Heng's face instantly became stiff.

Without waiting for Xia Heng to explain himself, Qin Lie said first: "That's only a one-sided speech from the two of them, it shouldn't be true. Why can't I have a grudge with them? Miss, please look into it! "

"Miss, please do not believe Qin Lie's words. For the past few days, Tu Mo and I have been helping out at the Clan Hall, protector Xia Shi can testify, but since we are at the Clan Hall, how could Tu Mo and I have the time to go to the Duke Palace's treasury?" Xia Heng immediately retorted.

The Family Competition is over, and the New Year is about to come to an end. It is the busiest time of the year, and the entire household is preparing for the upcoming hunt, so Xia Heng and Tu Mo are indeed helping out with Clan Hall. Qin Lie, what else do you have to say? Xia Shi shouted.

"Oh? Is that so? Then, can Protector Xia Shi please answer one of my questions. " Qin Lie gave a bright smile, and did not panic at all: "The treasury is an important place, only the direct descendents can enter, and with such a heavy guard, and me being a Direct Vein disciple, why bother?"

The moment Qin Lie's words came out, both Xia Heng and Xia Shi's expressions changed. Xia Menglan, on the other hand, felt a ripple in his heart, as a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Miss, this is where Qin Lie's craftiness lies. He doesn't know the face of a man, and sometimes what he sees on the surface doesn't seem to be true." Xia Heng said very sincerely.

"That's right young miss, this is the place we need to investigate strictly. How did this brat sneak into the treasury under heavy guard and steal the Pill?" Xia Shi said righteously.

"Miss, if nothing unexpected happens, the Origin Gathering Pill will be in his courtyard." Xia Heng spoke again. The truth was better than all the eloquence.

When he said that, Qin Lie realised that the two of them had already colluded together. No matter how he tried to defend himself, the two of them would still think of a way to fall upon his injustice.

Sure enough, Xia Shi's next sentence allowed him to confirm his thoughts.

"No need. At the same time of the interrogation, I sent someone to search in his courtyard. We already found a Pill." He spoke in a gloomy voice that was suffused with a trace of chilliness.

"Protect the wise and see through everything!" Tu Mo hurriedly flattered.

Qin Lie's eyes were cold. Listening to the conversation between Xia Shi and himself, Qin Lie felt that the situation was bad, he never thought that Xia Shi's actions would be so flawless.

"Present."

Xia Shi shouted loudly. Very quickly, a guard walked up and carefully held a Pill with both hands.

It was the size of a longan and was as smooth as jade, and emitted an astonishing medicinal fragrance. Xia Menglan took a look at it, slightly nodded, and said: "That's right, this is the Origin Gathering Pill that I lost."

"Qin Lie, what do you have to say for yourself!" Xia Shi smirked and pointed to Qin Lie.

"If you want to add to your crimes, then there's nothing to say. You and Xia Heng are at the same end of the line, wouldn't you give in just to make me admit defeat?" Qin Lie taunted softly, his expression cold and solemn.

Seeing Qin Lie give in, Xia Shi secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but said with a stern face, "Thirteen son Qin Lie, his guilt is monstrous, he stole Miss's Ling Dan, and according to clan rules, served him with a great punishment!"
