Confrontation

The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, Ao Bing, transformed into human form. On his shoulder, Ao Xiaoyao, who was unable to Transformation, remained lying. Since Luo Ba had also spoken, Ao Bing and Ao Xiaoyao naturally entered the Asura Sect and arrived at the Great Hall of the Shura Luo Ba Asura Sect Master, Luo Ba.

The Dragon Clan from the East Sea Dragon Palace came to visit and meet with the Sect Master. As Luo Ba's personal disciples, Zhuge Xiang, Lu Yuling, and Wu Xuefei were in the Asura Sect, so they naturally had to come.

However, Lu Yuling did not come. During this time, she had been in seclusion to gain a deeper understanding of the Heart Fighting Technique. Therefore, in the Great Hall, there were only Asura Sect Zhuge Xiang, Wu Xuefei, Sect Master Luo Ba, and the Great Elder of the Asura Sect.

Soon, Ao Bing and Ao Xiaoyao from the East Sea Dragon Palace arrived at the Great Hall. After exchanging polite greetings, Ao Bing sat down on a guest seat nearby.

"The East Sea Dragon Palace is located deep within the seabed of the East Sea. The might of the Dragon Clan has been passed down from ancient times to the present. However, the dragon Dragon Clan rarely ventures into the Cultivation World. May I ask what brings Young Master Ao Bing to my Asura Sect?" After the two had finished their pleasantries, Luo Ba spoke. Dressed in a white scholar's robe, he resembled a schoolteacher in the secular world. He had no air of authority, yet he commanded respect.

"Reporting to Sect Master Luo, I, Ao Bing, have come here today on official business. I hope Sect Master Luo will not take offense," Ao Bing said loudly upon hearing Luo Ba's words, standing up.

"As everyone knows, the Dragon Clan has a low fertility rate, so every Dragon Clan is extremely precious. However, just a few days ago, a Juvenile Stage Dragon Clan in my East Sea Dragon Palace had its eyes gouged out by thieves using vicious methods."

As he spoke, Ao Bing's words inevitably carried a hint of anger, and his eyes also fell intentionally or unintentionally on Wu Xuefei beside him.

However, Wu Xuefei ignored his gaze. She was secretly surprised, thinking that Ao Bing was being nonsensical. Why was he staring at her when their Dragon Clan had their eyes gouged out?

"Oh? So what does Young Master Ao mean?" Upon hearing this, Luo Ba frowned slightly. However, he kept his expression unchanged and glanced at Wu Xuefei without making a sound.

At this point, Luo Ba naturally understood that the East Sea Dragon Palace had come seeking revenge. Judging from Ao Bing's words, it seemed that Wu Xuefei was behind it? However, after secretly observing Wu Xuefei, he noticed that she showed no reaction to these remarks, which was rather strange.

"We haven't caught the real culprit in the East Sea Dragon Palace, otherwise, we wouldn't have let the murderer escape. However, our East Sea Dragon Palace 'Chancellor Turtle is skilled in Divination. After some divination, he believes that this matter is inextricably linked to Wu Xuefei of your Asura Sect." As he spoke, Ao Bing angrily pointed at Wu Xuefei and said.

"Me!?" Upon hearing Ao Bing's words, Wu Xuefei's beautiful eyes widened slightly, then she shook her head and said, "I think you've misunderstood, Young Master Ao. I have never been to the East Sea, much less gouged out the eyes of your Dragon Clan."

Luo Ba glanced at Wu Xuefei. Based on his understanding of Luo Ba, what she said was true. But the East Sea Dragon Palace had come all this way—could they have really made a mistake? There seemed to be something fishy about this. However, Luo Ba didn't rush to speak but instead waited to see what would happen.

"Your East Sea Dragon Palace, though powerful, cannot possibly slander the Asura Sect Disciple," the white-haired Great Elder spoke before Luo Ba could, standing up and slamming his Dragon-Headed Cane against the ground. He spoke in a deep voice, a majestic and powerful aura emanating from him. Although the Dragon Clan was strong, the Asura Sect was not easily bullied.

"Indeed," seeing the Great Elder's anger, Zhuge Xiang, fearing a sudden attack, stepped forward and said to Ao Bing, "Young Master Ao, although I believe in the dignity of your East Sea Dragon Palace and that you wouldn't make baseless accusations, my Senior Sister Wu says she didn't do it. You can't convict her based solely on your word, can you? Do you have Evidence to prove it?"

Although Zhuge Xiang's words appeared to be on the side of the Asura Sect, Ao Bing knew that he was reminding him to take out the Heart Reflecting Mirror. So, following Zhuge Xiang's lead, Ao Bing took out the ancient Heart Reflecting Mirror.

"This is the Heart Reflecting Mirror, a secret treasure of my Dragon Palace. Its only function is to detect lies. If you speak in front of this Heart Reflecting Mirror, the mirror will flash. Miss Wu Xuefei, do you dare to confront me face to face?" Ao Bing asked, taking out the Heart Reflecting Mirror and staring at Wu Xuefei.

"Hmph, you think you can detect lies just like that? If this is a treasure you can control, it's not impossible for you to activate it and make it shine. If you're so capable, then test me first and see if it's really effective," Zhuge Xiang said, playing the villain in order to prove the authenticity of the Heart Reflecting Mirror.

"Alright!" Knowing that Zhuge Xiang was doing this to make the results of his Heart Reflecting Mirror more convincing, Ao Bing was naturally more than happy to oblige.

"No need. I've heard of the Heart Reflecting Mirror," Sect Master Luo Ba said, directly interrupting the standoff between Zhuge Xiang and Ao Bing.

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Wu Xuefei, and he said, "Xuefei, that Heart Reflecting Mirror can detect lies. I wonder if you would be willing to confront Young Master Ao in front of that Heart Reflecting Mirror?"

"Reporting to Master, this disciple is willing. I was just worried that Young Master Ao wouldn't believe what I said. Since he has such a treasure that can Innocence my name, it would be wonderful," Wu Xuefei said frankly, bowing to Luo Ba.

Seeing Wu Xuefei readily agree, Ao Bing was somewhat stunned. At the same time, he secretly wondered, could it be that Wu Xuefei really didn't do this? Never mind, we've come this far, let the Heart Reflecting Mirror decide.

Wu Xuefei, without the slightest hesitation, walked confidently before the Heart Reflecting Mirror and directly urged Ao Bing, "Young Master Ao, please ask whatever you have to say."

"Alright, let me ask you, did you go to my East Sea Dragon Palace and gouge out the eyes of my East Sea Dragon Clan?" Hearing Wu Xuefei's urging, Ao Bing composed himself and asked directly and incisively. As he asked the question, everyone in the Great Hall stared at the Heart Reflecting Mirror, waiting for Wu Xuefei's answer. Even Ao Xiaoyao, who was perched on Ao Bing's shoulder, stared wide-eyed.

"No!" Wu Xuefei's answer was very clear, without any ambiguity.

Wu Xuefei answered, but when they looked at the Heart Reflecting Mirror, it was completely silent and unresponsive. This made the Great Elder secretly breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that this was a misunderstanding. It was not a good thing for the Asura Sect to have provoked such a terrifying force as the East Sea Dragon Clan for no reason.

Ao Bing, however, was stunned by the unresponsive Heart Reflecting Mirror. He had come with a fierce aura, almost certain that Wu Xuefei was responsible, but Wu Xuefei denied it in front of the Heart Reflecting Mirror. This left Ao Bing speechless. If it wasn't her, then who was the murderer? For a moment, Ao Bing's thoughts were truly in turmoil.

By the way, Chancellor Turtle Gui only said that this matter was inextricably linked to Wu Xuefei, but he didn't say that Wu Xuefei herself was the one who did it. Perhaps she had other accomplices?

Thinking of this, Ao Bing continued, "Miss Wu Xuefei, let me ask you again, before this, were you aware of the matter concerning the gouging out of the eyes of my East Sea Dragon Palace's Dragon Clan?"

"I had absolutely no idea before you came," Wu Xuefei replied, shaking her head, her answer still very precise.

The Heart Reflecting Mirror remained silent, offering no response whatsoever. Now, Ao Bing truly didn't know what to do. Two answers had been given to the Heart Reflecting Mirror, yet no reaction followed. Could it be? Had the Chancellor Turtle's divination been wrong? Or!? Was the person before him not Wu Xuefei at all?

Ao Bing only learned about Wu Xuefei's identity when she was introduced. He had never seen Wu Xuefei before, so after receiving two negative answers, Ao Bing began to doubt Wu Xuefei identity and asked a third question, "Are you Wu Xuefei, the personal disciple of the Asura Sect Master?"

"Yes, it's me!" Wu Xuefei nodded calmly, but the Heart Reflecting Mirror remained completely silent, offering no response whatsoever.

Now, Ao Bing was truly at a loss. He had confirmed Wu Xuefei's identity, and Wu Xuefei had definitively denied that the Dragon Clan's eyes had been gouged out. However, the Heart Reflecting Mirror showed no reaction whatsoever. It seemed that the Chancellor Turtle's divination had indeed gone wrong; otherwise, there was no other explanation.

"I am not Dragon Clan!" In the end, Ao Bing even doubted whether there was something wrong with the Heart Reflecting Mirror, and said this to it.

The Heart Reflecting Mirror emitted a bright light, indicating that there was nothing wrong with it.

"Sigh..." Helpless, Ao Bing had no choice but to put away the Heart Reflecting Mirror and apologized to Wu Xuefei with deep remorse. "I'm sorry, Miss Wu Xuefei, this matter was a mistake made by our East Sea Dragon Palace. Please forgive us, Miss Wu Xuefei."

"It's alright. I sympathize with what happened to you at the East Sea Dragon Palace. This was just a misunderstanding, and it will be cleared up soon," Wu Xuefei said, appearing quite easygoing. She simply waved her hand at Ao Bing's apology and didn't pursue the matter further.

"Thank you for your understanding, Miss Wu Xuefei." Nodding, Ao Bing had no intention of staying any longer after the matter had been investigated. He then bid farewell, saying, "This matter is settled; it was a misunderstanding. I must return to the Dragon Palace. Farewell."

"Okay, take care," Luo Ba said, seeing that Wu Xuefei herself didn't seem to care, Luo Ba naturally wouldn't either. He nodded and waved his hand.

Ao Bing bowed to Luo Ba and the Great Elder to express his apologies, and finally turned and left the Asura Sect.

Regarding this matter, apart from the Great Hall Zhuge Xiang, even Wu Xuefei herself believed it was just a misunderstanding.
