Chapter 354: The Real Culprit

"Tell me. What exactly is your relationship with Yi Xing?"

Bai He became a little nervous.

"H... He is... I am his son."

The identity of disciple was obviously no longer enough.

"No wonder. No wonder! His aura is on you. Where has he gone?"

Ever since the Mirror of Truth had been placed in Senior Yi Xing’s possession, it had remained sealed away.

No one even knew how many years it had stayed untouched in his hands.

"I do not know where he went either. Mirror Master, could you do me a favor?"

"Certainly."

Joy immediately welled up in Bai He’s heart.

He had actually agreed so easily?

Was this not going a little too smoothly?

Was it really just as Mo Zhu had said, that the God of Fortune had always been watching over him?

That feeling was simply wonderful.

"You are his son. No wonder he entrusted the Mirror of Truth to you. Go ahead. What is it that you wish to know?"

"I want to know the truth about the disappearance of Sect Master Fang Lansheng’s Starconch Bell from the Qinghai Sect."

"That is hardly difficult."

As soon as the Mirror Master finished speaking, everything around them transformed into an entirely different scene.

It was The Orchard of Pairidaeza.

Even seeing it for a second time, Bai He still thought it was an incredibly beautiful place.

Time returned to that very night.

Bai He was resting there when several people arrived.

Every single word they said while discussing Ye Shiyuan was exactly the same as what Bai He had heard that night, without a single difference.

Actually, there was no need for everything to be shown in such great detail.

Now that Ye Shiyuan had heard those comments, even if he did not care on the surface, there would still be a small knot in his heart.

He would inevitably feel a little uncomfortable.

Ye Shiyuan naturally heard everything, but at this moment, that was not what mattered.

"Look, Shiyuan. By this point, I had already left The Orchard of Pairidaeza."

Bai He watched his own figure leaving and found the sight rather strange.

Then he noticed someone watching him as he departed.

"So Su Yuluan really was there. She knew that I had been to The Orchard of Pairidaeza?"

When Bai He left, Su Yuluan was still standing outside The Orchard of Pairidaeza.

However, after watching him leave, she entered The Orchard of Pairidaeza herself.

With the Mirror Master’s unique spiritual power, they finally saw exactly what Su Yuluan had gone into The Orchard of Pairidaeza to do.

Deep within The Orchard of Pairidaeza stood a small house.

Su Yuluan looked around in every direction.

After making sure no one was nearby, she walked inside.

"Shiyuan, did those two people see Su Yuluan enter that house? They clearly saw it, so why did they not step forward and say it was Su Yuluan?"

Ye Shiyuan let out a quiet sigh.

"Master, some people simply do not want to bring trouble upon themselves, so naturally they are unwilling to step forward. Su Yuluan spoke with such absolute certainty. If they came forward and she turned the accusation back on them, then given their status within their sects, I am afraid no one would protect them the way Fourth Elder Gu He or Qixiu Valley would protect their own disciples."

So they had their reasons.

Bai He was still somewhat unhappy inside, but he did not say anything more.

At least now they could confirm it.

Su Yuluan was indeed the one who had done it.

The Mirror of Truth was truly extraordinary.

It could show you the truth.

At the same time, it could also show you whatever truth it wished you to see.

The Mirror of Truth could never show anything false and Bai He had not done anything at all this time, nor had he been given any kind of task.

It felt as if everything had come far too easily, making it seem somewhat unreal.

"Mirror Master, what you showed me just now should all be true, right?"

"Naturally, it is true. Do you think I would deceive you? However, it was only because of your father’s reputation."

Bai He had simply made up that story.

He had never expected the Mirror Master to actually believe it.

In truth, the Mirror Master had judged based on the aura he sensed, so he should not have doubted it.

After all, the truth was that Bai He actually...

Bai He’s expression darkened slightly, but he quickly returned to smiling. "Then thank you, Mirror Master. However, I will still need to trouble you later."

"Go."

Such a smooth process was something Bai He had never expected.

After leaving the Mirror of Truth, Su Yuluan was naturally still waiting outside.

She let out a slight sigh of relief.

Of course, she was not worried about Bai He.

She was worried about Ye Shiyuan.

Bai He immediately put away the Mirror of Truth and said, "Miss Su, now that we already know who the real culprit is, we can go together to Sect Master Fang Lansheng and make everything clear."

Su Yuluan’s expression became somewhat unpleasant.

Her gaze shifted around and she looked like she was desperately trying to hide something.

Bai He gave a light snort.

At a time like this, he finally felt truly confident.

Having evidence made all the difference.

Su Yuluan instinctively took several steps back before saying, "You are trying to trick me into admitting something again. I will not believe you."

Bai He was speechless.

Even at this point, Su Yuluan was still struggling.

He stepped forward several times and ran toward Su Yuluan. Then, in an instant, he cast a binding spell.

"Bai He, you..."

Now, where could she run?

"Shiyuan, I know that you may have received her help before. I do not expect you to help me, but please do not stop me either." Bai He said this because he did not really know what had happened between Ye Shiyuan and Su Yuluan.

However, according to the original story, Ye Shiyuan and Su Yuluan had experienced many things together.
