Is there any evidence?

"No, my suspicion is only based on hindsight; whoever gained the most benefits is the most suspicious."

"Aren't those officials the ones who benefited the most?"

"They did indeed profit from it, but this also attracted the attention of the Heaven's Will Palace. In particular, your master, through careful investigation, collected evidence against many people, leading to their downfall. A large part of the truths I revealed were thanks to your master. The reason I suspect the Holy Maiden is because the Sacred Sword fell into her hands."

"What does this have to do with the Sacred Sword?"

"According to the rules of the Mohist School, the Sacred Sword is kept by the Dark Maiden, but the Grandmaster has the first right to use it. Oh, you may not know about the Dark Maiden; it's a very secretive position, not publicly disclosed, and very few people know about it. The Dark Maiden lives in the shadows, responsible only to the Grandmaster, and also has the responsibility to supervise Grandmaster. The Mysterious Dark Maiden is to the Holy Maiden what the Shadow Hero Guard is to the Mohist Knight Guard. If the Dark Maiden dies, the Sacred Sword will be kept by the Holy Maiden, but the Holy Maiden has no right to use Sacred Sword unless the Grandmaster is not present. That's why I suspect her."

Si Ming remained silent. Between Xiao Xuan and Tu Wangyue, he naturally chose to believe the former. However, this reason alone was not enough to doubt Tu Wangyue. After all, even if Tu Wangyue was not involved in the conspiracy, according to the rules, the Sacred Sword would eventually fall into her hands. This was an inevitable event, and had nothing to do with luck.

Furthermore, Xiao Xuan couldn't produce any more evidence. He couldn't very well say that because Tu Wangyue was innocent, she was the prime suspect. If that were the case, anyone could be the mastermind.

"Actually, I've always wanted to know something: just how powerful is the Mohist School Sacred Sword? I often hear people say that whoever wields the Mohist School Sacred Sword is the strongest in the world, which is undoubtedly an exaggeration. I also possess a top-tier divine weapon, and it is indeed very powerful and has greatly helped me, but even with it, I'm not confident I can defeat Yun Jinzang, the Lord of Ten Thousand Weapons. Even if the Mohist School Sacred Sword is the strongest divine weapon in the world, could it really allow a non- Spirit Transformation artist to defeat a Void Returning Great Grandmaster?"

Xiao Xuan said solemnly, "This matter concerns the Grandmaster's secret and is of the highest confidentiality level. Due to the discipline of the Mohist School, I cannot explain it to you in detail. However, I can tell you with absolute certainty that possessing the Mohist School Sacred Sword does not guarantee that a non- Spirit Transformation artist can defeat a Void Returning Great Grandmaster, but it can give anyone the possibility of defeating Void Returning Great Grandmaster."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "The Imperial Dragon Heaven-Defying Sword Art originated from the Sacred Sword."

Chapter 734 Rabbit

Late at night, at the entrance of the Minggui Orphanage.

"Finally back."

Si Ming swung his arms, making a rattling sound. After traveling for half a day, even though his True Qi could be continuously replenished by the Vacuum Psychic Energy Furnace, his body inevitably felt tired. Not to mention that he had been exposed to the cold wind at high altitude for half a day and had maintained the same posture for a while, so his muscles were a bit stiff.

"No wonder those big shots prefer to travel by train rather than fly directly; it's just too tiring."

But it does save time. With the speed of trains in this era, plus the time spent transferring, it would take Si Ming at least two days to get from the border mountains to the coastal city.

Si Ming pushed open the door and entered, finding the lights still on in the hall. He glanced at the clock on the wall; it was already two in the morning. The first person Si Ming thought of who was still awake so late Yao Bilian.

However, he soon realized he was wrong, because Hongdou was fast asleep, sprawled out on the carpet in the hall.

"Is it because Auntie Liu is busy with company matters that no one is taking care of this guy?"

Si Ming stepped forward and picked her up with both hands. Compared to Murong Qing's well-proportioned and elastic body, Hongdou's body was very soft. However, her unhealthy lifestyle made her body very slender and her weight very light. She was not skin and bones, but she didn't feel fleshy either. According to Si Ming's estimate, she weighed only about 95 pounds. You should know that Hongdou is 1.65 meters tall and has a pair of big white breasts that obviously take up a lot of weight.

In comparison, Murong Qing 1.7 meters tall and weighs 125 kilograms, which is comparable to that of a boy. Of course, she does not appear obese at all; she has the physique of a gymnast.

Just as Si Ming was about to carry her back to the room, Hongdou slowly opened her eyes, half-open and half-closed, and said in a drowsy tone, "It's Xiao Ming's scent." Then she turned to the side, reached out her hands to hug Si Ming's neck, buried her head in his chest, and sniffed the scent.

"Are you a puppy?" Si Ming retorted.

With her eyes clearly unfocused, Hongdou stared blankly for a while before placing her hands on her chest in a coquettish gesture and uttering, "Woof woof."

"... Wake up right now!"

Si Ming lowered his head and bumped his forehead against his own. With a loud thud, Hongdou's eyes immediately regained their sparkle.

"Waaah... Xiao Ming was so mean!" Hongdou, her face on the verge of tears. "The puppy was so cute, how could you hit it?"

"How about I scratch your chin?"

That's a kitten.

"How should I pet a puppy?" Si Ming thought for a moment and said, "How about I scratch your belly?"

Hongdou quickly nodded. "Okay, okay."

"Stop dreaming and get back to bed!" Si Ming realized he had almost gotten himself into a trap.

"Hey~ We already agreed on this, how could you go back on your word? Xiao Ming doesn't keep his promise," Hongdou protested.

Helpless, Si Ming could only hold the other person with one hand, while freeing the other hand to slip under the hem of the pajamas. As soon as he touched the other person's stomach, he felt a jelly-like texture, as if there was a strange suction force that made him lose his senses. He quickly touched it a couple of times and then pulled it back.

When Hongdou was touched, she giggled twice, then twisted her body in dissatisfaction and said, "Hey~ why is it over so quickly?"

"I already said just a little 'scratching' of my stomach, a couple of times is enough. I'm a man who strictly keeps his promises."

"It wouldn't matter if you scratched it a few more times."

Si Ming ignored her and put her on the bed, but Hongdou didn't let go and kept her arms around his neck.

"I haven't showered for almost four days. It will be very uncomfortable to sleep like this. I need to take a shower now," Hongdou said.

"You're lying. You were sleeping so soundly just now. There's no reason why you could sleep on the floor but couldn't sleep on the bed."

"I don't care, I'm going to take a shower anyway." Hongdou pouted.

"Then go wash it, no one's stopping you."

"I want Xiao Ming to carry me."

The two stared at each other for a while, but in the end, Si Ming gave in and could only carry the person to the bathroom again.

"Is this alright? You don't still want me to shower with you, do you?"

"Huh? Xiao Ming, how did you know? Do you have Mind-Reading Technique like Xiao Ying?" Hongdou asked in surprise.

"You really think so?" Si Ming said weakly. "I've been flying for half a day... flying for half a day, I'm really tired, I need to rest."

"Then we definitely need to shower together; we'll feel so much more refreshed afterward."

"What I want to make is a more energetic big head, not a small head."
