The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 252: Frame-up



Chapter 252: Frame-up

After hearing about Yun Yao's various glorious deeds in the sect, Liu Yan'er was burning with jealousy. The flames of jealousy were like surging waves, almost swallowing up her reason. She knew that if she didn't find a way to suppress Yun Yao, her position and future in the sect would be completely overshadowed by Yun Yao's brilliance. So, a sinister and cunning plan of framing her gradually took shape in her mind.

On a dark and windy night, the night was like thick ink, covering the entire sect, and the silence was a bit unsettling. Liu Yan'er, dressed in black, shuttled between the sect's buildings like a ghost. She cleverly avoided the sight of the patrolling disciples and ran straight to Yun Yao's residence. Her footsteps were as light as a civet cat, and every step was filled with ill intentions.

Arriving at Yun Yao's residence, Liu Yan'er gently cast a spell to conceal her presence, so as not to be noticed by the people in the house. Then, she carefully pushed open the door, so gently that she was afraid of making any sound. After entering the room, her eyes quickly scanned the room, and finally fixed on the head of Yun Yao's bed. She raised a smug sneer at the corner of her mouth, and slowly took out a prepared sachet from her bosom. This sachet looks exquisite, but in fact it contains a mystery. The evil talisman inside exudes a faint light that is difficult to detect.

Liu Yan'er gently placed the sachet on the bedside of Yun Yao, with a hint of malice in her eyes. Then, she carefully checked the room again to make sure that there were no traces that might be detrimental to her, and then she turned around and prepared to leave with satisfaction. However, just as she was about to step out of the door, she seemed to have thought of something again, and a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but soon that hesitation was replaced by determination. She gritted her teeth and thought to herself: "In order to achieve the goal, a little risk is nothing."

After leaving Yun Yao's residence, Liu Yan'er put away the spell to conceal her aura, pretended to be panicked, and ran towards the residence of the sect's law enforcement elder. As she ran, she shouted loudly: "Law enforcement elder, it's bad, something big has happened!" The voice was particularly harsh in the silent night, breaking the tranquility of the night sky.

The law enforcement elder was preparing to rest in the house. When he heard the urgent shout, his heart tightened and he quickly got up to check. Liu Yan'er ran to him with a horrified face and said breathlessly: "Elder, I... I just passed by Senior Sister Yun Yao's residence and found an extremely evil aura inside. I was worried, so I quietly went closer to check, and as a result... I found a sachet containing evil cultivators' things placed at the head of her bed. I suspect that Senior Sister Yun Yao has been bewitched by evil cultivators, what should I do?" Liu Yan'er's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of "worry". Her acting skills were superb.

When the law enforcement elder heard this, his face suddenly became solemn. He knew that the evil cultivation was a very serious problem in the cultivation world. If a disciple in the sect was really bewitched by the evil cultivation, the consequences would be disastrous. So, he immediately summoned several trusted disciples in the sect and hurried to Yun Yao's residence with Liu Yan'er.

At this time, Yun Yao was practicing in the house, and suddenly she felt an inexplicable uneasiness in her heart. She slowly opened her eyes, but before she could think about it, she heard a noisy sound of footsteps coming from outside. She was puzzled and got up to open the door, only to see the law enforcement elder and a group of people walking towards her, and Liu Yan'er followed beside her, with fear still on her face.

The law enforcement elder's face became even gloomier when he saw Yun Yao. He walked straight into Yun Yao's room and searched the room. When he saw the sachet on the bedside, his eyes instantly became extremely sharp. He stepped forward and picked up the sachet, looking at it carefully, frowning tightly. The faint evil aura emitted by the sachet made his face even uglier.

Yun Yao looked at the sachet in the hand of the law enforcement elder and was shocked. She recognized at a glance that someone had deliberately framed her, but at this moment she could not prove her innocence. Countless thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant, wondering who was so vicious and wanted to kill her. She knew in her heart that she could not panic at this critical moment, otherwise it would only allow the person who framed her to succeed.

The law enforcement elder turned his head and stared at Yun Yao, and asked in a low and serious voice: "Yun Yao, what's the matter with this sachet? Do you have any explanation?" Yun Yao took a deep breath and replied respectfully: "Elder, this sachet is not mine. Someone must have deliberately placed it by my bed to frame me. I have been practicing hard in the sect and have never had any dealings with evil practitioners. I hope the elder will understand."

The law enforcement elder narrowed his eyes slightly and examined Yun Yao's expression. He knew that Yun Yao had always performed well in the sect, but the fact that the sachet appeared at her bedside was a fact, and this matter could not be easily concluded. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Yun Yao, this matter is of great importance. I cannot judge your innocence based on your words alone. Before the truth is revealed, you need to cooperate with the sect's investigation."

Although Yun Yao felt somewhat helpless, she also understood that the law enforcement elder's approach was not wrong. She nodded slightly and said, "Elder, I will fully cooperate with the sect's investigation to prove my innocence. I just hope that the elder can find out the truth as soon as possible and not let the real mastermind go unpunished."

The law enforcement elder looked at Yun Yao's calmness and nodded secretly. He ordered his disciples to search Yun Yao's residence carefully to see if they could find any other suspicious places. After receiving the order, the disciples immediately started a detailed search in the room. They searched every corner and checked every item, but did not find any valuable clues.

Liu Yan'er watched all this from the side, feeling a little anxious. She originally thought that the law enforcement elder would directly convict Yun Yao, but she didn't expect him to be so cautious. Her eyes rolled, and a plan came to her mind. She stepped forward and said to the law enforcement elder: "Elder, I heard that Sister Yun Yao has made rapid progress in her cultivation recently, and she often goes out alone, and her whereabouts are quite mysterious. I once saw her talking with a strange man in black in the back mountain of the sect by chance. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now I think it's very suspicious."

Yun Yao was furious when she heard Liu Yan'er's slander. She glared at Liu Yan'er and said, "Liu Yan'er, don't slander me. I have no grudge against you, why do you want to frame me like this?" Liu Yan'er looked at Yun Yao innocently and said, "Senior Sister Yun Yao, I just told the elder what I saw and heard truthfully, and I didn't mean to frame you. If you really have a clear conscience, why are you so excited?"

The law enforcement elder watched the two people arguing, and his doubts grew. He looked at Yun Yao and asked, "Yun Yao, do you have any explanation for what Liu Yan'er said?" Yun Yao suppressed her anger and replied calmly, "Elder, this is pure slander by Liu Yan'er. I have never talked to any black-clothed man in the back mountain of the sect. She said this just to mislead the elder and prevent me from clearing my name."

The law enforcement elder remained silent, weighing the words of both parties in his mind. He knew very well that he couldn't draw a conclusion based on one side of the story, but Yun Yao couldn't prove her innocence at the moment. He thought for a long time, and finally said: "Yun Yao, you can't leave the sect for the time being without solid evidence. You should stay in seclusion in your residence and wait for the sect's further investigation."

Although Yun Yao was unwilling, she knew that resistance was useless. She could only nod and say, "Yes, elder. I believe the sect will give me justice." The law enforcement elder led the disciples out of Yun Yao's residence. Liu Yan'er followed behind. Before leaving, she did not forget to look back at Yun Yao, with a smug look in her eyes.

Yun Yao watched them leave and slowly clenched her fists. She knew that she had to find a way to prove her innocence as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. She returned to her room, sat on the bed, and began to calm down and think about countermeasures. She knew that in this predicament, she could only rely on her own wisdom and the help of the system to get rid of the crisis in front of her.
