Zhang Lan's eyes widened suddenly, she raised her head in disbelief, and said in a daze, "...Master, Senior Sister?"

Xia Zhitao smiled at her, raised his eyebrows slightly, and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid."

Zhang Lan's breathing became lighter all of a sudden, her eyes became more red, her left hand was tightly held by Xia Zhitao, and her right hand was hanging on her waist, pinching the corner of her clothes uneasily.

"Junior Sister Xia, you don't know something. Disciple Yuanshuang found a Yingying Stone, which recorded the whole process," Huai Ruizhi said in a deep voice, "The evidence is so strong, why do you still want to defend her?"

"Everyone, although I haven't spent much time with my junior sister, I believe in her character," Xia Zhitao said slowly to everyone, "She will never do that kind of thing."

"Senior Sister, don't be fooled by her hypocritical appearance," some disciples couldn't stand anymore and shouted, "This person keeps saying that he needs to investigate in detail, but he doesn't cooperate at all!"

Huai Ruizhi nodded, and said: "We have already seen the fragments of Yingyingshi. This person is full of sentimental intentions and cruel methods. He will definitely be severely punished."

"That's right, I also reprimanded the masters for their inaction before, saying that the main hall on Yashan should be demolished and thrown into the lake."

...Wow, when I'm not around, is Ruan Meng's junior sister so cruel?

Xia Zhitao subconsciously turned her head to look, just in time Zhang Lan raised her head and was looking at her timidly.

Her complexion was a little pale, her thin lower lip was bitten bloody, and her eyes were covered with mist: "Senior sister, it's not me."

"Really, it's not me," she repeated over and over in a low voice, muttering to herself, "I, I will never..."

Little Junior Sister is actually so insecure, Xia Zhitao comforted, "Okay, why are you nervous?"

"If you are afraid, then I will tell you again."

Xia Zhitao let go of Zhang Lan's hand. Seeing that the other person's expression was suddenly tense, she smiled and rubbed her hair, saying in a serious voice, "Listen up."

"Zhang Lan, I believe in you."

"Regardless of whether their so-called evidence is true or false, personally, from the bottom of my heart, and from my intuition—I believe you."

Seeing Zhang Lan staring at her in a daze, Xia Zhitao couldn't help stretching out her hand, pinched her little flushed cheek, and jokingly said, "You're so cowardly, you tremble even when you hold hands. How could such a thing be done?"

Her voice was neither loud nor soft, and she didn't deliberately cover it up. Everyone in the hall heard it clearly, and couldn't help but look at each other, and the discussion became quieter.

After being disconnected for a long time, the bearded master who was ignored by everyone silently "coughed", rubbed his beard, and said weakly: "Actually, I knew this child Zhang Lan before, and I also feel that this matter is strange. "

Xia Zhitao: "..."

As the ancestor, you have the most right to speak, but you have been watching for a long time before you come out to speak. What did you do earlier? !

Sitting on a high place, Huai Ruizhi was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Since Master Hu and Junior Sister Xia have expressed their views like this, then I apologize for my previous arbitrary remarks."

He stood up, with a high hair crown and a dignified appearance, with an aura of power without anger.

"But before making a conclusion, I would like to ask Junior Sister Xia to read the contents of the Yingyinshi together with all of us."

As he spoke, he slightly raised his hand, and a disciple respectfully held up a dark green stone, "What do you think, Junior Sister Xia?"

"Okay." Xia Zhitao nodded without hesitation, "But it doesn't matter how many times I play it. I believe in Zhang Lan."

Huai Ruizhi did not respond, and calmly placed his five fingers on the Yingying stone.I saw the stream of light overflowing from the dark green spar, and countless light spots jumped out one by one, falling into the empty hall, forming scenes of clear images.

In the video, Xia Zhitao fought "Zhang Lan" more than ten times, lost to the opponent, injured his abdomen, and was pushed down Shuijing Lake.

The last paragraph happened to stop on the face of "Zhang Lan", and the details were fully revealed. Anyone who has seen Zhang Lan can almost be sure that it is the same person.

Xia Zhitao knew what the problem was, so she sneered in her heart, but this guy, Junior Junior Sister... seemed to be seeing it for the first time.

Zhang Lan was nervous the whole time, panicked, and her face turned pale in the end: "This, this, could it be that I really hurt my senior sister—"

Xia Zhitao slapped her on the back of the head, stopping the child from thinking wildly: "Are you stupid, this person is fake."

"The video is not complete, and only a small part was intercepted to mislead everyone," Xia Zhitao explained to everyone, "When I was fighting, I already noticed that something was wrong with that person."

Huai Ruizhi said: "Junior Sister Xia, have you ever seen the real face of that person, or is there a difference between the two voices?"

"This..." Xia Zhitao froze for a moment, momentarily at a loss for words.

The most hateful thing about that person is that he pretended to be too similar, he never took off his mask during the whole process, and even imitated his voice exactly, Xia Zhitao really didn't know who she was.

"Junior Sister Xia, can I think: You can't be sure that person is not Zhang Lan."

Huai Ruizhi changed the subject, and said: "You just choose to protect her when the other party wants to take your life purely out of personal affection."

There was something in the other party's words, and he was even consciously guiding the point. Zhang Lan's complexion was a little pale, and her voice trembled: "Senior Sister..."

"Well, I'm here." Xia Zhitao held her hand tightly, and said softly, "It's okay."

Huai Rui was aggressive, Xia Zhitao didn't think of a way to deal with it for the time being, so she could only bite the bullet and say, "It's not covering up, I... I have evidence, so I can be sure it's not her."

"Please." Huai Ruizhi nodded.

I don't have any evidence, can I say that I can rely on a woman's sixth sense... Xia Zhitao's face is calm, but her heart is a little anxious.

Just as she was thinking about whether to make something up, a group of unexpected people appeared at the entrance of the main hall.

Qin Zhi walked in slowly, followed by a group of disciples.

Wang Yan dragged her brother, poked her head all the way, caught sight of Zhang Lan who was listless and lowered her head, and said in surprise, "Hey, it's actually here!"

Qin Zhi held his forehead and said, "Look at the smoke."

Wang Yan was called out, and immediately took the initiative to stand up.The bright and pretty girl at fourteen bowed politely: "Master Hu, Senior Brother Huai."

She straightened her back and said in a clear voice, "Zhang Lan and I share the same room. Yesterday we practiced all morning in the martial arts field, and Master Qin was beside us."

Qin Zhi nodded slightly, in agreement.

Wang Yan said: "Zhang Lan was with me until noon, but she was a little out of control when practicing sword..."

"Get to the point." Qin Zhi interrupted her.

Wang Yan stuck out her tongue and said, "Later, Senior Sister Lu said that Senior Sister Xia was missing. Zhang Lan panicked and forgot to take her things, so she rushed out to find someone."

Xia Zhitao hurriedly followed, "It was early in the morning when I was hit, and my junior sister should still be in the training ground."

Qin Zhi reluctantly replied: "It is true."

Qin Zhi is much more reliable than the bearded master, since she is willing to help with the conversation, the junior sister should be fine.And at this moment, another disciple stood up.

Xia Zhitao really knew her. She was the number one student of Zhang Lan's class, named Mu Si, but she was very low-key and didn't talk much at ordinary times.

Mu Si's face was paralyzed, and he said, "There is still a little more, height."

Everyone didn't understand what it meant at first, but when Mu Si stretched out his hand and tuned to one of the screens on the Yingyinshi, they suddenly realized——

In the recording screen, "Zhang Lan" is similar to Xia Zhitao in stature, so when he bent his arms to attack, the dagger just pierced into his abdomen; while in the main hall, Zhang Lan only reached Xia Zhitao's shoulder when standing up straight, and was a whole head shorter. .

"The height doesn't match." Mu Si said slowly, "It's not the same person."

Xia Zhitao turned her head to look at a certain short guy with an unhappy face, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"..." Zhang Lan puffed her face and looked at Xia Zhitao resentfully.

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore," Xia Zhitao suppressed a smile, and comforted her, "I won't rub your head anymore, and there is still a chance to grow taller."

"Just knead it," Zhang Lan muttered, "I just knead it for you."

Xia Zhitao was delighted, and Xin Dao said that this kid is simply a model of duplicity.

Huai Ruizhi was silent for a moment, and said: "I was too radical, disciple Zhang Lan, I apologize to you."

Now that Zhang Lan had confidence, she gave him a hard look, and Xia Zhitao's small gesture fell into Xia Zhitao's eyes, which was inexplicably cute.

Huai Rui paused for a moment, and continued: "I will investigate this matter carefully with everyone in Jingtang Peak, and I will definitely give you a clear answer, and make those wronged innocent."

Huai Ruizhi's words were really ambiguous, saying that he wanted to "return his innocence", but he didn't directly mention Zhang Lan's name.

Xia Zhitao reckoned that he still had doubts about Junior Sister, but it was hard to say because of Master Qin's face.

.

In short, Xia Zhitao heaved a sigh of relief after escaping, and let go of Zhang Lan's hand.

"Senior Sister," Zhang Lan seemed a little uneasy, she raised her head nervously, and asked softly, "Well, is your injury healed?"

Xia Zhitao smiled and said, "It's much better."

The strange thing is that after suffering such a serious injury yesterday, the spiritual power in his body is surprisingly abundant, running smoothly, and faintly overflowing, and he should be able to break through another realm in a few days.

The little junior sister let out a sigh of relief, lowered her head, and murmured: "That's good."

"You, don't cry," Xia Zhitao looked a little distressed, and pinched Zhang Lan's nose, "The eyes are so red, like a little rabbit."

Zhang Lan was aggrieved, and whispered, "I didn't."

The two were chatting here, Wang Yan grabbed her brother with one hand and Mu Si with the other, and ran over: "Zhang Lan!"

Zhang Lan raised her head and glanced at them, reluctantly saying, "Thank you."

"You are reluctant to thank me, I don't want it yet!"

Wang Yan crossed his waist and said, "So what happened to you yesterday morning, you were absent-minded after practicing the sword for a while, and then knocked the sword away, and my wrist is still hurting!"

Zhang Lan paused and did not speak.

Wang Yan didn't care, and continued on his own, "And when Senior Sister Xia disappeared, you were holding on to Senior Sister Lu by the collar, and your expression was scary and murderous."

"Wang Yan," Wang Ze interrupted his sister helplessly, "Enough is enough."

Wang Yan curled her lips, turned her head to look at Xia Zhitao, and asked curiously: "Senior sister Xia, you have fallen into Shuijing Lake, who saved you?"

The author has something to say: Zhang Kuang: If Zhitao hadn't stopped you, your Yashan would have disappeared.
