Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the second day.

After Su Chen exited from his cultivation, he finished cleaning up and was about to go out to practice his Tiger Movement Technique. 

At this moment… Outside the medicinal garden, there were waves of noises. Su Chen was startled and was about to open the door to take a look.

Suddenly, the medicinal garden’s door was kicked open. A group of Law Enforcement Hall disciples surged into the house, all dressed in red. All of them looked high and mighty.

The leader of the Law Enforcement Hall disciple said arrogantly, “Under the orders of Law Enforcement Hall’s Elder Wang Xun, we are here to search the medicinal garden behind the mountain for the stolen tier 3 herbs.”

After saying that, he looked at Su Chen with malicious intent.

Su Chen’s expression changed, and his mind spun rapidly. Why would Law enforcement Hall’s Elder Wang Xun suspect that he was the one who stole the herbs? Was his secret of modifying herbs about to be exposed?

At this moment, there was a purple jade flower of the optimum age behind the cottage. If he was discovered, he would not be able to explain himself.

Thinking of this, Su Chen’s eyes were filled with killing intent as he stared at the group of people in front of him.

Immediately, the person in the lead felt a chill run down his spine and took a step back.

However, when he thought of Elder Wang Xun outside the medicinal garden, he immediately raised his head and puffed out his chest.

“Kid, are you trying to go against the Law Enforcement Hall elder’s order?”

“Elder Wang Xun is outside the medicinal garden right now, and you dare to act rashly?”

Then, the disciple took a step forward and shouted with a proud face, “If you know what’s good for you, then hand over the stolen tier 3 herbs. Perhaps Elder Wang can show mercy.”

At this moment, Su Chen’s expression was extremely gloomy. Before they entered, he had faintly sensed a powerful aura. He did not expect it to be an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall.

Although he did not understand why they had come, with his current strength, it was impossible for him to stop an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall from searching his cottage.

At this moment, Su Chen had no way of stopping them, but he already had a plan in his mind. He planned to deny having any knowledge about the medicinal herbs behind the house.

After making his decision, he slowly walked to the stone table under the ancient tree and sat down. 

When the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall saw this, they looked at Su Chen with malicious intent.

Then, the elder shouted to the disciples behind him, “Search the place! Search everywhere, leave no stones unturned!”

The moment he said this, the group of Law Enforcement Hall disciples began to search in an imposing manner.

One of the disciples walked to the back of the house, and as soon as he reached the back, he immediately let out a scream. The group of disciples was stunned for a moment. Then, they all rushed to the back of the house to check.

A dense mass of all kinds of lush, optimally-aged herbs instantly appeared in their eyes.

“Su Chen!! It was really you who did it!”

“Su Chen, you, you… are actually so bold!” The group of disciples looked at Su Chen with shock in their eyes.

The Law Enforcement Hall disciple who was in the lead at the beginning also came out from the small house. At this moment, he was holding a tier 3 herb in his hand. When he saw the scene behind the house, his face was full of smiles.

“Su Chen, let’s see how you explain this! I even found the tier 3 herb that was stolen from the Pill Peak medicinal garden in your house!”

After that, he immediately reported it to Elder Wang Xun of the Law Enforcement Hall.

Seeing the tier 3 herb in the disciple’s hand, Su Chen gradually understood that someone was deliberately framing him. He had never owned a tier 3 herb before. The only person who had a conflict with him recently was the Wang family — Wang Yucheng.

It was his doing.

On the other side, the leader of the Law enforcement Hall disciple came to a middle-aged man, he said submissively, “Reporting, Martial Uncle Wang, we found a stolen tier 3 herb in Su Chen’s medicinal garden. In addition, he stole this herb, and stole all kinds of best-aged herbs and hid them behind the house.”

“Hmm?”

Wang Xun nodded and pondered for a moment. Originally, he and his nephew had used a tier 3 herb to frame Su Chen so that he had no choice but to hand over the medicinal garden, but since Su Chen really stole herbs, it would make the matter more complicated.

Wang Xun’s expression was dark and cold as he said, “You said that Su Chen stole a lot of herbs?”

“That’s right, martial uncle Wang.”

Wang Xun’s thoughts spun rapidly. He carefully calculated the entire situation and sneered. 

Su Chen, oh, Su Chen, you have finally fallen into my hands today.

Originally, Wang Yucheng and he had discussed a plan to make Su Chen the scapegoat for stealing the herbs. However, now that Su Chen had really stolen the herbs, and it was a large number of herbs, it would be difficult for him not to be executed this time.

“Bring a few disciples with you and invite all the outer sect elders here.” Wang Xun’s eyes were cold.

“Yes! I will do it immediately.” At this moment, he was a little puzzled. Elder Wang could just kill Su Chen on the spot for stealing so many medicinal herbs, but why did he have to invite the other elders? Although he was a little puzzled, he still left immediately.

At this moment, Wang Xun was leisurely waiting for the other elders to arrive. He wanted to beat Su Chen so badly that he was never able to rise again. This kid was an outer sect disciple who dared to reject the generous conditions offered by the Wang clan. How dare he?

Not long after that disciple left, Elder Lee of the Pill Peak medicinal garden and Elder Liu of the Alchemy Hall naturally received the news as well.

There was a huge question mark in the minds of both of them.

“Oh? The person who stole herbs is now Su Chen? Could it be that someone is trying to frame him?”

Elder Liu’s head was filled with questions. He was clearly the one who stole the herbs, but he immediately realized that someone was trying to frame Su Chen.

“I can’t let anything happen to him. Otherwise, I won’t be able to solve the problem of my blocked spiritual Qi. I’m unable to circulate my spiritual Qi in my body!” Elder Liu was rather helpless and decided to immediately go look for Su Chen.

On the other hand, Elder Lee of the Pill Peak medicinal garden naturally could not let anything happen to Su Chen. Otherwise, how could he take revenge on him for blocking his spiritual Qi circulation?

He also set off to look for Su Chen.

At this moment, Wang Xun also entered the medicinal garden and arrived at the back of the house in a flash.

He was momentarily stunned by the scene before him. This… An entire land was actually filled with tier 2 body tempering herbs, and they were all the best years!

He did not hide the killing intent in his eyes as he looked at Su Chen, who was at the eight stage of the Body Refinement realm. So this kid was unable to sense Qi and used these stolen herbs to train his body.

At this moment, Su Chen felt a chill sweep through his entire body.

Su Chen met Wang Xun’s fierce gaze. His was neither servile nor overbearing.

When Wang Xun saw this, he thought, ‘Oh? This brat is quite brave.’

Wang Xun then smiled contemptuously.

“These herbs, how do you explain them?”
