Elder Ding and elder Jiang also shook their heads, and elder Wan’s face turned even gloomier. “Nonsense! Take them away!”
Yun chujiu sneered. “How can we know if we can do it if we don’t try? is Tianji Peak trying to slander the foreign laborers? If the other six peaks find out, they’ll laugh at you!”
“You! How dare you! Good! Since you’re so stubborn, I’ll make you give up! Someone, bring out a basket of snow jade silkworms,”elder Wan said angrily.
Hearing Elder Wan’s words, a disciple went in and brought out a basket of snow jade silkworms. There were about twenty snow-white snow jade silkworms in the basket, and they were munching on the golden silk mulberry leaves.
Elder Wan glared at Yun Chujiu. “Now that the snow jade silkworms have been brought out, tell me, how do we get them to identify the murderer?”
Yun chujiu curled the corners of her lips. “The suspects are Huo Zhi and the three of us. Then the four of US will crouch around the basket. Whoever the snow jade silkworms attack will naturally be the murderer.”
Although elder Wan felt that this method was ridiculous, he was now in a rage. He was anxious to prove that Yun chujiu was talking nonsense, so he said to huo zhi, “According to what she said, all of you will crouch around the basket.”
Even though Huo Zhi felt guilty, he felt that these snow jade silkworms would only mate with each other during mating season. They usually did their own thing, so they wouldn’t point fingers and take revenge. Therefore, he crouched beside the bamboo basket with ease.
Yun Chujiu and the other two also crouched beside the bamboo basket. Everyone heard Yun Chujiu say in a crisp voice, “Repay kindness with kindness, and take revenge with hatred. Little Babies, who killed your companions? Just take revenge!”
Everyone scoffed at this. There was an 80% chance that Yun Chujiu was mentally ill. Did she really think that these snow jade silkworms would identify the murderer just because she said a few words?
Sure enough, the snow jade silkworms inside the bamboo basket were still eating the mulberry leaves with a rustling sound. They did not make any movements.
Elder Wan snorted coldly. Just as he was about to let the four of them stand up, the snow jade silkworms suddenly raised their heads and sprayed several streams of venom at Huo Zhi.
Huo Zhi was caught off guard and was hit by the spray. Moreover, he was squatting, so all the venom was sprayed on his face.
Immediately, Huo Zhi screamed in pain and covered his face as he began to roll on the ground.
Yun chujiu quickly moved the bamboo basket away, afraid that he would accidentally hurt the Snow Jade Silkworms.
Elder Ding saw Yun Chujiu’s actions and thought deeply. This little girl seemed to care about the snow jade silkworms, so the missing snow jade silkworms should not have been her doing.
Elder Ding did not know that Yun Chujiu had already treated these snow jade silkworms as her own. This girl was even prepared to pluck the wool. How could she let anything happen to these snow jade silkworms.
Everyone was stunned by this unexpected turn of events. For a moment, no one spoke. Only Huo Zhi’s continuous screams of pain could be heard.
Elder Ding reacted faster. He asked his disciple to quickly take out an antidote pill for Huo Zhi to swallow, and then used cold water to wash his face.
However, his injury was too serious. It would take at least a year or so for his face to recover.
Yun chujiu smiled faintly. “Elders, the truth is out now, right? Isn’t it time to clear our names?”
Huo Zhi screamed and said, “Don’t listen to her nonsense! This is an accident. She framed me!”
Yun Chujiu curled her lips. “Accident? Why don’t we do it again? This time, you and the others will squat here and see what the Snow Jade Silkworm will do?”
