The Ten Thousand Ways to Hug the Female Protagonist’s Thigh - Chapter 14.1

The antagonist, a man who intended to provoke the female lead and use the incident as a pretext to target the Wen family, had finally appeared!

Wen Shu felt excitement internally but maintained a calm and composed expression.

Using the recently learned Sound Transmission Technique, she stopped Wen Xuening from reacting impulsively.

With a calm gaze, she looked at the young man and spoke in a tone devoid of emotion:

“Fellow Daoist, unlike the demonic races, we humans always require evidence when making accusations.”

With this statement, she firmly established the moral high ground. If the other party refused to provide evidence, it would imply that he was no better than a demonic being!

“First, it was you who collided with us earlier. There’s no need to rush to explain that.”

She raised her finger to her lips, signaling for Li Yusheng to stop his attempt to interrupt, and continued, “To commemorate our first visit to the Spiritual Weapon Pavilion to purchase blanks, I brought a Recording Stone to document our entire experience. Coincidentally, it also captured the moment you collided with us.”

What a stroke of luck that she had brought a Recording Stone to document the entire event!

Wen Xuening and the onlookers were stunned as Wen Shu slowly pulled a Recording Stone from her storage bag.

This stone was used initially for temporary note-taking. It could record only up to two hours of footage, and the recording would disappear after five hours. To preserve the footage permanently, one must repeatedly transfer it to new stones, making it a somewhat impractical tool.

Wen Shu calmly displayed the recording to everyone present while continuing her explanation.

“After the collision, including the time it took for us to react, get up from the ground, comfort each other, and for you to return, I calculated that it took about ten breaths.”

She then pulled out a Timekeeping Talisman, which indeed showed a count of ten breaths.

“From the moment you left after the collision to the time you returned, claiming to have lost something, don’t you think ten breaths is an unusually long time for a Foundation Establishment cultivator like yourself?”

How she knew the man was at the Foundation Establishment stage was unclear. Still, the onlookers frowned after watching the recording.

Indeed, if a Foundation Establishment cultivator had lost something to two Qi Refinement youngsters, he should have noticed it immediately!

Wen Shu removed her veiled hat to reveal her identity, showing she had nothing to hide.

“We are disciples of the Wen family. The Wen family has stood in Nanyang with integrity for three hundred years. I believe everyone here can attest to that.”

She then reached for the storage bag at her waist. Everyone expected her to draw her sword and confront the man, but instead, she simply removed her storage bag. She also took Wen Xuening’s storage bag. She handed both to an elderly man in a green robe, surrounded by several Spiritual Weapon Pavilion attendants. Clearly, he was a high-ranking figure in the pavilion.

After the old man instructed his attendants to inspect the storage bags, Wen Shu turned to the crowd and declared with righteous determination:

“These are our storage bags. Not only can this elder inspect them, but anyone present is welcome to check them to see if they contain the jade pendant this gentleman claims to have lost.”

After all, Wen Xuening’s storage bag was empty, as she had been instructed not to bring any pills, and Wen Shu’s own storage bag had been empty from the start.

“If anyone suspects we might have hidden the item on our persons, we are willing to be searched. However, since we are young women, the search should be conducted by female onlookers.”

She then glanced pointedly at the burly men behind the young man, who had been brought to intimidate.

“…”

Do you even remember you’re a woman!?
