Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 238 Framed

Xu Yao was still a bit confused. The Sixth Elder was dead, so why was the Seventh Elder coming to find him with the Sixth Elder's mistress?

Su Chen was completely dumbfounded when he heard the mistress say that she had killed the Sixth Elder.

Xu Yao then said to the Sixth Elder's third brother, "I say, we don't seem to know each other very well, so don't slander me when you talk about this."

“When did I kill the Sixth Elder? It was you who were complaining last night that the Sixth Elder didn’t take over the Seventh Elder, preventing you from taking the throne.”

"So you need to understand this, I'm saying, 'How dare you, a woman, tell me this?'" Xu Yao said.

The Seventh Elder looked at the Third Elder and asked, "Is what he said true?"

"He's a murderer, do you really believe what he says? This guy went to that dead guy yesterday, and all he wanted to know was what happened."

"He even asked about Bai Qingqing, but that dead guy didn't know anything about Bai Qingqing either, so he got angry and embarrassed."

"In a fit of anger, he killed the Sixth Elder."

Xu Yao was dumbfounded. He really didn't expect to encounter such a thing when he went to see the Sixth Elder yesterday.

But here's the problem: what if I were to do something else entirely?

That's obviously not going to work either, but that's the crux of the matter. Regardless of how things turn out this time.

It's fair to say that Xu Yao can't explain himself this time, because he did indeed go to see the Sixth Elder yesterday.

Moreover, since it concerns Bai Qingqing, everyone naturally knows that Xu Yao has this motive.

Therefore, Xu Yao then said, "This matter concerning the Seventh Elder is indeed unrelated to me, and I did not kill the Sixth Elder."

“This woman is slandering me. I have every reason to suspect that she is trying to frame me because she thinks the mistress can’t take my place.”

"That's why I would say that. The situation is right here. I don't know what to say, but that's the situation right here."

"Seventh Elder, you must know that I would never have such a motive," Xu Yao said.

However, even if Xu Yao says this now, it doesn't really mean anything to him.

Ultimately, it's quite simple. In this matter, it's meaningless for Xu Yao to say anything now; in fact, it can be said that this is just how things are going to be.

Basically, the Seventh Elder arrested the mistress from the very beginning.

Therefore, it seems that Xu Yao's words are not very credible now.

At this moment, the third brother said to the Seventh Elder, "There is no mistake that it was this guy who killed him. I saw it with my own eyes."

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Elder said directly, "Now that the truth has come out, what else do you have to say?"

"Forget it, you won't believe me no matter what I say now, and I have nothing more to say about this matter."

Xu Yao has completely surrendered. There's no other way; you have to surrender, because that's the situation.

There's nothing Xu Yao can do now. Without any evidence, he has no chance of winning against the mistress's words.

So Xu Yao simply gave up, what else is there to say? That's just how things are.

Since I've already given up, what's the point of saying anything more? I'll just wait for another opportunity to clear my name.

After all, in terms of cultivation level, none of these guys have any ability to defeat me.

There's no need to talk about it or even think about it; Xu Yao himself already knows this.

At this point, Xu Yao said directly, "Well, since you don't believe me anyway, it's no use for me to say anything now."

"Go ahead and arrest me if you want."

Upon hearing Xu Yao's words, the Seventh Elder immediately waved his hand, ordering his men to arrest Su Chen.

Just then, Bai Yuezhan said to the Seventh Elder, "Seventh Elder, the death of the Sixth Elder this time has nothing to do with Xu Yao."

"And I am very clear that this is the situation this time, as for anything else."

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. But now we can figure it out: things have already come to this point."

“Then I must also prove that Xu Yao was with me yesterday and didn’t have time to kill the Sixth Elder.”

"Of course you say he didn't kill him. You're all in cahoots. Guards, arrest them all!"

Originally, only Xu Yao was arrested, but now both of them have been taken to the dungeon together.

After entering the dungeon, Xu Yao said to Bai Yuezhan, "You didn't need to say anything back then."

"If you hadn't said anything, you wouldn't be here doing all this with me now. There's probably nothing to say about this."

"Anyway, I don't know what to say now, but you're a really good guy," Su Chen said cheerfully.

After hearing Xu Yao's words, Bai Yuezhan finally said, "You went to investigate the truth to help me get revenge."

"Then, if I, Bai Yuezhan, were to be wrongly accused, I would never have brought this matter to the current state unless I were a beast."

"I'm too lazy to talk about other things, but this is the thing, if it weren't for other things."

"That goes without saying. That's just how things are. There's no need for anything else."

"Xu Yao has caused you this trouble, and it's also my fault, Bai Yuezhan," Bai Yuezhan said with shame.

Xu Yao chuckled and said after hearing Bai Yuezhan's words, "You've made a bit of a fuss over something so simple."

"I won't say anything else, but at least I know about this matter, but that's the problem."

"No matter what the situation is now, this matter is not a problem for me."

"If I help you this time, you have to help me in the future if you have the chance. If you don't help me..."

"Then I'll most likely haunt you even as a ghost, you bastard," Xu Yao said with a chuckle.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuezhan smiled and agreed.

And so, the two of them arrived in the evening.

When evening came, Xu Yao said to Bai Yuezhan, "I'm going out for a bit. You stay here and cover for me, okay?"

"You have a way out?" Bai Yuezhan looked around the dungeon and asked with some surprise.

At this moment, Xu Yaocai said with a smile, "What can a mere dungeon do to me? To be honest, if it weren't for these things, I really wouldn't be in this situation."
