Sorry, master, my junior sister has surrendered to the enemy!

Chapter 229 1 big gifts

As soon as Ling Chan finished speaking, Yue Ling calmed down immediately.

This thing might have been forgotten here by my fourth sister.

Precisely because it was left by fourth sister, we have to be more careful.

She was lost in thought.

Chu Yu looked at this sad scene, she had just arrived and she didn't know how powerful these princes and princesses were, but it was obvious that Yue Ling was more afraid of the Fourth Princess than the Seventh Prince.

If the Fourth Princess is really so cunning, then the purpose of this bamboo slip may not be that simple.

If you just want to confuse Yue Ling with fake news, it would be a bit childish.

If Yue Ling used this opportunity to report her, the evidence would be insufficient and she would also be discredited by Master Jingming.

If Yue Ling left this bamboo slip, she could also turn the tables on Yue Ling, saying that Yue Ling had always intended to cheat, and then use Master Jingming to get herself out of it.

Thinking of this, Chu Yu felt a bit of a headache. He was used to fighting and killing and going straight forward. Why did he have to use his brain now?

This bamboo slip cannot be kept. Everyone knows that Ling Chan and Yue Ling have a close relationship. If Ling Chan keeps it, who knows what trouble may arise.

"Let me see this bamboo slip." Chu Yu suddenly spoke, and Ling Chan and Yue Ling were both stunned.

Ling Chan handed the bamboo slips over, and Chu Yu took it and opened it casually.

This is a very ordinary bamboo slip, nothing special about it...

and many more?

Chu Yu detected a very subtle mysterious energy in the ink on the bamboo slips. This thing has a story.

Chu Yu just injected a little bit of his own mysterious energy, and the fonts began to change.

"Ah, it's changing!" Yue Ling exclaimed when she saw it.

These black characters kept twisting and deforming, as if they wanted to become other words, but no one knew what they were going to become, so they abstractly twisted into a ball of black ink.

If it were an ordinary person, he might have to struggle with the mysterious energy to figure out the purpose of these changing words, but Chu Yu was different.

She integrated the power without any hindrance, and within a breath, she determined that this was a very common skill that could be used by any cultivator in the Gathering Spirit Realm. Although it had no lethality, it was very mysterious.

"I understand." Chu Yu figured out the operating rules of these black words.

"Yuyu, what do you understand?"

Chu Yu motioned Ling Chan and Yue Ling to come over, and saw that the black words began to change according to Chu Yu's wishes.

It was filled with dense writing:

Steamed lamb, steamed bear paw, steamed deer tail, roast duck, roast chicken, roast goose...

Yue Ling, Ling Chan:?

"Ahem," Chu Yu's mind moved, and the bamboo slips returned to their original appearance, with the medicinal herbs and techniques written on them again.

"What's the purpose of these changing fonts?" Yue Ling asked curiously.

Chu Yu looked at her deeply. This had a great effect.

If Yue Ling took the bamboo slips, and after the medicine-hunting conference was over, if she had the best performance but was reported for cheating, the bamboo slips would be irrefutable evidence once they were found.

By then, what will be written on it will not be these medicinal ingredients, but the key information of the medicine-hunting conference.

If you were to ask who leaked the news to Yue Ling, it would most likely be...

Chu Yu looked up at Ling Chan. He held a high position in Zhaolan Temple, had a good relationship with Yue Ling, and was also a junior state teacher. From other people's perspective, it was reasonable for Ling Chan to reveal some inside information. He was probably already a thorn in the eyes of others, and it would be best to drag him down with them.

This bamboo slip cannot be handed over to Ling Chan either, it’s better to destroy it.

Ling Chan obviously also reacted. His face was gloomy and the mole between his eyebrows looked even redder. He was obviously angry.

"This thing cannot be kept."

Ling Chan made a prompt decision to destroy the bamboo slips.

At this time, Chu Yu felt a chill on his right forearm.

Is it the woman in the tree? She seems to have something to remind herself.

Chu Yu immediately became alert. What if the Fourth Princess also expected Yue Ling to destroy the bamboo slips?

When she entered Zhaolan Temple, she originally wanted to avoid conspicuousness, so she restrained her aura and did not pay attention to the movements around her.

At this moment, she did not hide anything at all, and her spiritual awareness instantly spread out like a tide, and as expected, she detected movement behind a rockery.

Before Yue Ling and Ling Chan could react, Chu Yu instantly came behind the rockery and grabbed a young monk who looked less than ten years old from behind.

"Oh, I don't see anything!"

The collar of the little monk was lifted up from behind. He held his head and cried bitterly. The whole person was dragged out like a chicken.

“Wuuuu, Senior Brother Lingchan, Princess Jiu…Jiu, I didn’t see anything, please don’t kill me…” The little monk started crying and shouting without saying a word, trembling all over.

"We haven't done anything wrong. So what if you saw it? Why should I kill you?" Ling Chan's brows tightened, and he no longer had his usual calm temperament.

"Yes, yes, you didn't do anything wrong. I was just passing by."

Seeing this, the young monk quickly changed his words.

"Why are you hiding behind the rockery when you're just passing by?" Yue Ling was furious at the moment. When people are extremely angry, they will laugh:

"What do you think we are doing?"

"Who asked you to come here?"

The little monk cried and said aggrievedly: "No one asked me to come here."

"Telling a lie is against your precepts." Ling Chan raised his voice, shocking the little monk.

"Well, you can't get anything out of a kid by forcing him like this." Chu Yu stepped forward to interrupt the two of them. She released her hand from the little monk's collar, slowly stroked his head, and whispered softly:

"Little brother, I believe you are not lying."

"Can you tell me who you met on the way here?"

The pure mysterious energy surrounded the little monk, and Chu Yu had no ill intentions, which made him feel extremely relaxed and not so scared anymore.

But he still didn't want to speak.

At the moment of stalemate, Ling Chan's aura was fully opened, and everyone felt a bell ringing in their mind. Then they felt their minds were empty and they were wandering in endless Zen.

Chu Yu had never seen Ling Chan actually take action, this was the first time.

I saw a golden light entwined around the little monk, and then slowly formed a Buddhist verse that surrounded the little monk's eyes.

The little monk calmed down instantly.

"Who did you meet when you came here?" Ling Chan's voice was like a Buddhist sound, echoing in everyone's mind.

"A maid in palace clothes said that she saw Senior Brother Lingchan talking to the Ninth Princess about the medicine-hunting competition, and she also said that Senior Brother would definitely help the Ninth Princess win the championship."

"I didn't believe her words. I thought that you wouldn't do anything to cheat for personal gain, so I decided to come and check it out. I didn't expect that you were really discussing the medicine-hunting conference and passing around a mysterious bamboo slip, which you also wanted to destroy after passing it around..."

After hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.

Not only can these bamboo slips not be kept, you cannot even look at them or touch them.

In other words, this thing cannot appear in Zhaolan Temple. Even if Yue Ling has not touched this bamboo slip, there is a way to throw the dirty water on Ling Chan.

The Fourth Princess had far-sighted calculations. The bamboo slips must have never appeared when she was discussing Taoism with Master Jingming. As long as she insisted that the bamboo slips had nothing to do with her, no one would be able to do anything to her.

If she asked the master about this thing, she could use the master's mouth to prove her innocence.

"Your fourth sister is quite amazing," Chu Yu exclaimed:

"She didn't even bribe witnesses. Her hands were clean, and she was able to get unrelated people to testify for her."

The little monk only believed what she saw, and Master Jingming was just discussing the doctrine with her from beginning to end.

"Is she doing this just to frame me? I'm not the only one competing with her." Yue Lingqi's eyes turned red.

"If you don't get first place in the medicine-hunting competition, she might let you go. But if so, she will make sure you are ruined." Chu Yu shook his head and sighed.

Ling Chan looked unhappy because the other party not only plotted against Yue Ling, but also plotted against himself.

"But this is Zhaolan Temple, not a place where she has connections."

Lingchan took off his robes and waved his hand. The red robes shone brightly in the sunlight.

The power of the Buddhist beads on the golden pagoda gathered on the cassock, and the cassock began to replay the passage in the pavilion like a photo stone.

As expected, the Fourth Princess was discussing Taoism with Master Jingming the entire time, and this bamboo slip never appeared.

After she had led everyone away, a bamboo slip appeared in the shadow of the pavilion. Before that, there was nothing there. It was as if it appeared out of thin air and did not seem to be left behind intentionally.

Until Yue Ling went to pick it up, the whole scene looked like someone had deliberately created the coupling, leaving the thing there for Yue Ling to pick up.

Even if it is replayed from the source, the scene looks very much like someone from Zhaolan Temple delivering a message to Yue Ling.

Everyone looked at it again and again, and found that the bamboo slips had indeed suddenly appeared after the Fourth Princess left, and were not deliberately left behind by the Fourth Princess.

Chu Yu narrowed her eyes and stared at a swaying shadow of a tree. She could vaguely see something in the shadow.

"There is a master in her shadow." Chu Yu spoke, and Ling Chan and Yue Ling were both stunned.

If you look closely, there is indeed an imperceptible flash of illusion in the shadow, which is completely indistinguishable among the shadows of the trees blown by the wind.

I don't know what kind of concealment technique this is, but it can hide the truth in broad daylight. I'm afraid it can compete with the skills of the Netherworld Pavilion.

"Is there any family or sect in Wuyang Country that teaches this kind of concealment technique?" Chu Yu asked with a frown.

I didn't even notice that there was a person in the Fourth Princess' shadow. This person's true cultivation level might be even more terrifying than the two guards around the Seventh Prince.

No wonder, no wonder Yue An looks so safe even though he has no guards around him.

"As far as I know, no." Yue Ling recalled carefully, and she suddenly remembered something:

"Oh! Now I remember, the Yuequanqi royal family of Xishazhou has this secret method, which can make people hide in the shadows temporarily. But we don't have much intersection with the Yuequanqi royal family. How could Fourth Sister have any intersection with other royal family members?"

Chu Yu carefully felt the remaining breath on the bamboo slips and said, "If I meet him next time, I will definitely recognize him."

"From this we can see that during the time we were in Dongxuan Continent, your brothers and sisters were not idle. They were all trying their best to strengthen their strength. Fortunately... you are no exception." Ling Chan was talking to Yue Ling on the surface, but he was actually looking at Chu Yu.

"Hmph, my dear brother and sister, you take turns giving me big gifts as soon as you come back. If others tell others about it, they would think you love me so much..." Yue Ling's eyes were gloomy, she was thinking.

She took the bamboo slips from Chu Yu's hand, her eyes burning, "If you only give me such a big gift, wouldn't it make Fourth Sister seem unfair? Seventh Brother should also have one."

"It would be a pity to destroy this bamboo slip. It is a treasure. I will take it away."

"Miss Chu," Yue Ling said with a serious expression, "The Medicine Hunting Conference is not an ordinary trial. Usually, every prince or princess can bring a helper with them. Are you willing to come with me?"

Chu Yu agreed immediately:

"no problem."

"Even if this process is full of dangers?" Yue Ling continued to ask.

Chu Yu raised his eyebrows and curled his lips: "I'm not afraid."

It’s still unclear who will be the dangerous one by then.

"Okay, we must take first place this time." Yue Ling subconsciously clenched his hands, and the bamboo slip he was holding made a crackling sound.

"Because in previous years, the winner of the Medicine Hunting Conference could choose any reward from the royal family's treasure house. This is exactly what I came back to tell you..."

"This time, I will make them hand over a blooming Hengyouzi plant respectfully to us."
