Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1465: Chapter 66 Young Master Zongkun’s Troubles Kunfish_2

In a fit of anger, he immediately launched an investigation, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not find out who the thief was.

This matter alarmed the “Imperial Consort” Liang Yiyi, who was outraged that Yun Lixuan dared to keep private savings, and also believed that this was no trivial matter. If a thief was in the house and could not be caught, how could they sleep at ease in the future?

She promptly went to seek help from the King of the North, and summoned one of the King of the North’s Mansion’s guardian Dao-level Items, the Mirror of Truth, which possessed the ability to identify past events and could perform time retracing on the “Mirror Surface Level”.

Though time retracing sounds impressive, it is limited to retracing on a mirror surface level; it can replay mirror images but cannot interfere with the past, and it also has significant limitations.

It turned out that it was better not to investigate, as once they did, the household became a scene of chaos.

It was revealed through the Mirror of Truth that not only had Yun Lixuan been hiding his private stash everywhere, to the point he had forgotten about them, but he had also hidden the personal silk scarf of Jade Spirit True Monarch.

They had only investigated half when the couple started fighting.

Of course, this was Yun Lixuan being on the receiving end of the beating.

“Yun Lixuan, did you move it somewhere else?” Jiang Yiyi said angrily, her teeth itching with irritation, “Even at this point, are you still planning to keep it hidden and not return it?”

“It’s a misunderstanding, truly a misunderstanding. Maybe I misplaced it.” Yun Lixuan said with a distressed and mournful face.

“Check, keep checking,” the King of the North declared gravely, “No matter what, we have to find this internal thief. Otherwise, how could our mansion have peace? Senior Mirror of Truth, please continue your efforts.”

“Don’t worry, don’t worry. With my Mirror of Truth here, no petty thief can escape, unless the person possesses some control over Time Avenue like those in the Void Realm or outright belong to the Immortal Realm.”

A copper-colored ancient mirror suddenly floated in mid-air, and in its surface appeared the hidden compartment in the beams of Yun Lixuan’s main residence, where Yun Lixuan had “secretly” placed Jade Spirit True Monarch’s silk scarf.

In the current image of the copper mirror, the silk scarf could still be clearly seen.

However, as the time in the image rapidly passed, one year, two years, a full five years later, the silk scarf suddenly and bizarrely disappeared out of thin air.

“How is that possible?”

The King of the North’s expression changed, “Senior Mirror of Truth, pause, rewind, target the moment of disappearance, slow down the flow of time.”

The Mirror of Truth obeyed, slowing down extremely, “I have targeted the moment of disappearance, and slowed the image time to one hundredth of normal time.”

Suddenly!

In the image, the silk scarf still disappeared abruptly out of thin air in an instant.

“The disappearance was too fast, I didn’t sense any space fluctuation,” even the Jade Spirit True Monarch’s expression was solemn, “Such a powerful theft technique, I refuse to believe it’s the work of someone from the Void Realm. Could it be, the Immortal Emperor herself intervened personally?”

“Why would the Immortal Emperor need to steal, no, take this scarf?” the King of the North shook his head, “Impossible, absolutely impossible.”

“What’s so impossible about that, maybe the Immortal Emperor admires me too.” Jade Spirit True Monarch said seriously, “Just too embarrassed to express it, so she stole my scarf.”

“Jade Spirit sister, our household’s Immortal Emperor is a female Immortal…” Yun Mengyu reminded her.

“So what if she’s a female Immortal?” Jade Spirit True Monarch naturally said, “When it comes to feelings, would it differ between men and women? With my identity as a reincarnation of a True Immortal…”

“Cough cough!” The King of the North hurriedly interrupted her, “No matter what, it looks like our Li Xuan did indeed hide it for many years, and has forgotten about it. It seems, he was wrongly accused…”

“King of the North, your words are incorrect. Crown Prince Xuan does not have the scarf in hand, but he has it in his heart. Must he take it out and play with it every moment for it to be considered evidence?” Jade Spirit True Monarch was extremely cautious as she looked at the King of the North.

“Uh… This king didn’t intend to ask the True Monarch to return the Spirit Stone,” the King of the North sighed helplessly.

“Then there’s no problem,” Jade Spirit True Monarch changed her tune and said, “Although Crown Prince Xuan lacks serious suspicion, the thief’s skill is not small. Even a powerful being like me reincarnated from True Immortal can’t detect anything strange; your Mansion needs to be careful.”

“First conduct a thorough investigation, if we really can’t find the issue, we may have to bother the Immortal Emperor to have a look,” the King of the North, rubbing his forehead, also looked helpless.

The lost items were not much; even the silk scarf wasn’t valuable.

But this matter was no small issue. If they couldn’t find the thief, how could the King of the North’s Mansion have peace?

“Yiyi, I told you, I was wrongly accused.” At this moment, Yun Lixuan brightened up, crying to Jiang Yiyi, “My heart towards my wife, heaven and earth can bear witness.”

“Young Master Xuan, it’s Yiyi’s fault, Yiyi cares about you too much, that’s why she rushed to blame you,” Jiang Yiyi, clinging to Yun Lixuan’s arm, said with a pitiful face apologizing.

“It’s alright, it’s alright, as long as the misunderstanding is cleared, I really have no ill intentions towards Old Ancestor Jade Spirit.”

“That’s what I said, Young Master Xuan, so young and handsome, why would he fancy someone of such an age.”

Hehe, Jiang Yuling glanced at the “loving couple” and sneered coldly, not smiling genuinely, “Crown Prince Xuan, on the day I lost my scarf, I also lost a piece of undergarment. Please think about where you stuffed it after using it?”

Undergarment?

A fiery rage surged up Jiang Yiyi’s chest, “Yun Lixuan, you explain this to me clearly! You are disgusting, absolutely shameless.”

“Undergarment, what undergarment?”

“Won’t say, huh? Fine, fine, I’ll make you clear your mind.”
