Free Web NovelChapter 1580: Chapter 1579: An Unbelievable Target
"Master Cui? Isn’t he always busy outside? He rarely comes back, why did he suddenly return today?"
"Mr. Fang, this is something you have to ask Master Cui in person. As mere servants, we don’t know anything about matters beyond that."
"Got it, I’ll go right away."
He returned to the front hall.
At this moment the maid Furong and Ye Wenjun were both in the living room.
"I’ll go with you." Ye Wenjun stood up.
After their earlier talk and analysis, this sudden summons for Fang Yu was clearly not simple. Ye Wenjun was not at ease letting him go alone.
"Let’s go then."
Fang Yu and Ye Wenjun headed toward another courtyard compound. After about ten minutes, they arrived outside that massive residence. The Divine Race guards at the gate were already waiting. Obviously different from usual, these guards were all clad in Armor and holding Tridents.
It was clear from the setup that things were serious today; this was no simple matter.
"Mr. Fang, please come in."
The two walked in.
Only then did they realize that the entire courtyard was already packed with people of the Divine Race. There were more than a dozen Orderers in uniform, and also Divine Race warriors in Armor with weapons standing on the other side. Clearly, they came from different factions.
At the right front of the crowd, Fang Yu saw that young man he deeply disliked: Ding Haotian of the Ding Family.
Fortunately, Fang Yu and Ye Wenjun were proficient in the Disguise Technique. Their faces had long since changed, and this method was by no means something ordinary people could see through. It directly used their own Primordial Qi to twist the bone and flesh’s molecular structure. It was almost impossible to recognize their original appearances.
So they were not afraid that Ding Haotian would recognize them.
"Mr. Fang, this way please." The butler led Fang Yu over.
On the steps, Master Cui of the Cui Family stood with his hands behind his back, Madam Cui standing beside him.
Miss Cui only stood by Madam Cui’s side, not saying a word.
"Master Cui, the instrument’s test results show that, hmm, the final appearance of that Energy structure is right here, so I had no choice but to investigate your Cui Family."
"Steward Jiang, you must take responsibility for your words. You assert that the suspect is in my residence, but if you speak recklessly without evidence, that is slander and will damage the reputation of my Cui Family."
"The evidence is all of this. This is the Energy Structure Analyzer jointly developed by the Ten Great Planets. It decomposed the imprint aura that suspect left in the prison into this structure. Through our carpet search along the way, the structure of that aura is the strongest here in the Cui Family."
"According to you, it appears in other places as well, just not as obvious as in my Cui Family, so that gives you reason to suspect it’s someone from my Cui Family?"
Hearing Master Cui argue like this,
next to him, Ding Zhen cupped his hands and said,
"Master Cui, I respect your status and position, but you can’t talk nonsense with your eyes open. The instrument absolutely does not lie. The Cui Family is under heavy suspicion, so naturally the investigation must start with the Cui Family. If the Cui Family is innocent, we will of course come to apologize to Master Cui. But if it really turns out to be someone from your household...?"
"..."
Master Cui glanced left and right, momentarily speechless. Ding Zhen bringing troops here like this clearly aimed at washing away his grandson’s suspicion. Besides, Ding Zhen was only a Middle Class Divine Race; he did not have the authority to force the Cui Family to confess. Matters were matters. When dealing with such a High Class family, they had to talk evidence.
Fortunately, the instrument’s display pointed exactly here.
"Fine, then investigate. But if you come up empty-handed, don’t blame me for being rude." Master Cui rolled his eyes and said.
At this moment,
Steward Jiang waved his hand.
The Orderer behind him placed the instrument he held toward the front. A shaped Energy form appeared in mid-air, extremely vivid. It showed the pattern of the Energy Fluctuation and its shape.
Brilliant and colorful, it was like the stars in the universe.
Seeing that Energy fluctuation,
everyone was slightly surprised.
With one glance they could tell this Energy did not seem to be a type that only the Divine Race could use for Cultivation. It was somewhat different from what the Divine Race normally cultivated, very special and peculiar.
Just then, that Energy swept across the surrounding members of the Cui Family.
Starting from the lowest-ranked servants.
Then the butlers, servants, and house servants.
The maids.
The likelihood for these people was extremely low, after all their Cultivation was very weak and they usually had no understanding of how to use Energy. Otherwise they would not have fallen to the point of being house servants.
On the contrary, those with status and position.
Only Cultivators of that Level could manipulate such a refined pattern of Energy Fluctuation.
So when the machine began scanning the Cui Family’s core members, everyone’s eyes widened.
One, two, three, four.
Time passed; about a minute went by.
There was still no result. It seemed the Cui Family’s Cultivation methods and this Energy’s fluctuation were completely different, and all the Cui Family’s Cultivators showed very consistent patterns, which indicated that the family’s internal Cultivation methods were often exchanged and shared, leading to very similar ways of Cultivation.
Master Cui also saw the different Energies on the instrument and felt satisfied.
At the same time he glared angrily at Steward Jiang and the trouble-seeking General Ding Zhen.
These people had the gall to come make trouble at the Cui Family—already a huge slight—and they hadn’t even given prior notice.
Doing this was nothing more than trying to leave him with no face.
However, just when Master Cui thought there would be no problem, freēwebnovel.com
the Energy Fluctuation changed.
Suddenly an extremely similar Energy pattern appeared on the instrument.
Everyone burst into an uproar.
They stared at the instrument, dumbfounded.
Moments later, the instrument emitted a sound.
"Warning, warning, target found. Warning, warning, target found."
Everyone followed the direction of its scan.
The target was...
The Cui Family’s eldest young lady, Cui Wenwen.
Everyone was stunned.
"How is that possible?"
"How could it be Miss Cui?"
"Could the instrument be malfunctioning? How could it be Miss Cui? She’s been bedridden this whole time, completely unable to move. And with her status and position, how could she possibly go rescue those people from Earth?"
Steward Jiang’s expression was ugly as well.
Let alone Master Cui and the others—even he himself didn’t believe it. How could it possibly be Miss Cui?
No one was willing to accept it.
The instrument absolutely would not lie.
Steward Jiang personally walked over to the instrument, operated it again, and directly scanned Cui Wenwen.
The result was obvious.
The Energy Fluctuation was still very similar—in fact, it was already extremely consistent. The target was Cui Wenwen. ƒrēewebnovel.com
"Nonsense, utterly ridiculous. Steward Jiang, you’re maliciously colluding with Ding Zhen to frame my Cui Family. Anyone with half a brain would never suspect my daughter. What exactly is your intention?"
At this moment Ding Zhen stepped forward.
"Master Cui, your Cui Family is a High Class Divine Race—who would dare have the guts to frame you? There is no way this is wrong; framing you would be a grave crime."
"With such ironclad evidence before us, Master Cui, I think it’s best to ask your esteemed daughter. Your daughter has just recovered from a serious illness and already has mobility, and her appearance is somewhat similar to humans from Earth—one could say her genes are extremely close to Earth’s humans. It is not impossible she would have such a motive to want to save them."
