Chapter 277 Soul-Questioning Technique
Sure enough!
Chen Yingjie understood. He and Miss Bai had guessed correctly! It turned out that the mermaid saint was missing!
But what does this have to do with Xiao Xiaoxiao!
How are Xiao Xiaoxiao and the Mermaid Saint connected?
Canglan paused, his eyes swept across Chen Yingjie and Xiao Xiaoxiao's faces, and then he continued: "Xiao Xianshi, your fellow senior sister Bai Xianshi and I hit it off at first sight, and now I also have a deep friendship with you.
The Saint is young and playful. If she asks you to help cover her whereabouts, I won't blame you, but please be sure to tell us the details. There are dangers everywhere outside the Crystal Palace. If she accidentally goes out and something happens to her, it will be a disaster!"
"That's right!" Cyber stared at Xiao Xiaoxiao with a burning gaze, "The Saint is extremely important to our clan and cannot be lost. Please don't hide it anymore, Master Xiao!
"I..." Xiao Xiaoxiao twisted the corner of her clothes nervously, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
Chen Yingjie's heart sank when he saw her like this. He couldn't help but said in a deep voice, "Xiaoxiao! If you know the truth, tell it quickly! Don't cause unnecessary misunderstandings!"
Seeing everyone's stern gazes, Xiao Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat. After hesitating for a long time, he whispered, "I... I don't remember. After Yaoyao left, I wanted to just walk around and go back, but when I came to my senses, I found myself back in the private room."
???
Chen Yingjie frowned, he never expected this answer.
Canglan and Elder Cyber were also very surprised, but Cyber thought Xiao Xiaoxiao wanted to hide something, so his tone became more serious, "Xianshi Xiao! A million years ago, Cangqiong Xuanzun made a contract with my Mirage Sea Mermaid Clan to use the Mirage Sea as your trial place. Over the years, my Mermaid Clan has strictly abided by the contract and provided convenience for you. Now, if you continue to conceal the whereabouts of the Saint Girl, don't blame me for exercising my authority as an elder and expelling you from the country!"
"I... I really don't remember! I thought I was always in the square..." But who knew, the mermaid guard said that she left the square.
Xiao Xiaoxiao herself was also confused. She began to desperately recall the details of that day, but found her mind was blank.
She could still clearly remember the scene of chatting with Bai Yaoyao, and she also remembered clearly what happened after returning to the private room of Jubao Pavilion.
But it was as if this part in the middle had been dug out from her memory! She couldn't remember it no matter how hard she tried!
Chen Yingjie knew Xiao Xiaoxiao was not lying when he saw the distressed look on her face, but Cyber obviously didn't think so.
His originally thin face stretched out, and his face was darker than the bottom of a pot. "Don't be ungrateful! This matter involves the Saint, we have the right to interrogate your soul!"
Canglan frowned, "Cyber, the soul-questioning technique is not perfect, it can easily make people stupid. Things are still undecided, so we can't be so hasty!"
“Heh! Canglan! You gave up your position as the elder of the clan for a woman. Now you don’t even take the Saint seriously? If you delay time and something happens to the Saint, can you bear the responsibility?!”
"You..." Canglan was speechless for a moment, knowing that he had given up on himself because of Lin You's death and withdrew from the election of clan elders, which made his old friend very unhappy. Every time Cyber was angry, he would bring up this matter, but now in front of everyone, he really didn't want to argue with him.
"Cyber, don't worry. The gate of the Crystal Palace is guarded by guards. The Saint can't get out. She must be hiding somewhere in the Crystal Palace. Why don't we expand the scope and search carefully?"
"No!" Cyber refused firmly. "I have searched everywhere in this palace, and now this person is the only clue! I must take her away today!"
After saying that, Cyber waved the dead tree crutch in his hand, and a chain made of flowing water was put on Xiao Xiaoxiao's hand. The other end of the chain was connected to the pearl on the top of Cyber's crutch.
As Cyber pulled out, Xiao Xiaoxiao, who was originally behind Chen Yingjie, staggered a few steps uncontrollably and was in front of Cyber in a blink of an eye.
"take away!"
As soon as Cyber finished speaking, the two mermaid guards next to him stepped forward, took the chain from Cyber's hand, and prepared to take Xiao Xiaoxiao away.
It sounds slow, but in fact it was only a blink of an eye from the time Cyber spoken his refusal to the time Xiao Xiaoxiao was controlled.
Chen Yingjie was startled, he slid forward, slapped away the guard's hand, pulled Xiao Xiaoxiao back behind him, and touched his waist. In an instant, a super-light-speed pulse gun flashing with silver-white light appeared in his hand.
"do not move!"
Chen Yingjie protected Xiao Xiaoxiao with one hand and pointed the gun at everyone with the other.
Even though he had some complaints about Xiao Xiaoxiao's obsession with Lu Fengxian, it was impossible for him to take that person away from under his nose!
Seeing Chen Yingjie holding up a strange-looking magic weapon, Cyber snorted coldly, "Humph! How dare you act so presumptuous in my Crystal Palace? Before you entered the trial, didn't your teacher tell you that in the Crystal Palace, the elders of my mermaid tribe have the power of life and death?!"
After saying that, Cyber waved the cane in his hand again, and the pearl on the top of the cane suddenly emitted a very dazzling light.
Chen Yingjie closed his eyes reflexively because of the bright light, thinking to himself that something was wrong. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he and Xiao Xiaoxiao had been tied up.
The hyper beam pulse gun that was originally in Cyber's hand has now fallen into Cyber's hands.
The water chain on his hand looked very fragile, but only after being tied up did he realize the power of the chain. It seemed as if all the strength in his body was locked up by the chain, making it impossible for him to muster the slightest desire to resist.
Chen Yingjie's heart couldn't help but sink. He was about to go back, but who knew such a thing would suddenly happen!
At the critical moment, Chen Yingjie quickly calmed down. He was at the mercy of others and the only thing he could do now was to find a way to prove his innocence.
He looked up at Cyber's sharp eyes, and said calmly, "You just want to find someone. Now we don't know anything, and it won't help if you catch us. Why don't you give us three days and we will help you find the Saint?"
"Ha! Just you?!" Cyber sneered disdainfully.
Chen Yingjie turned to look at Canglan, who had always been kind to them.
"Shopkeeper Canglan, Junior Sister Bai and us have always been well taken care of by you. Please trust us again!"
Looking at Chen Yingjie's sincere eyes, Canglan was silent for a while, and finally sighed and said to Saibo, "Saibo, just give me, an old guy, a favor and give them three days. If they still can't find the saint after three days, I won't stop them, okay?"
