Chapter 515: Chapter 515
"If I have this Holy Object, can you guarantee it will take me back to that world?"
Song Jian didn’t agree immediately but instead looked towards Guan Lin.
His gaze was particularly sharp, inexplicably causing Guan Lin’s heart to lurch with a sense of guilt as if his intentions had been seen through.
Guan Lin didn’t speak, involuntarily taking in Song You’s expression.
Seeing Song You subtly nod, he then said, "Yes, as long as we have the energy of the Holy Object, I can activate the Teleportation Array and take you back to that world."
"Good! I can go and borrow the Holy Object."
Song Jian looked at the two of them, his gaze resolute, "Although my cousin and I don’t get along very well, I am willing to pay any price to see Little Wan!"
He went to find Song Boyi, while Song You and Guan Lin prepared to leave.
"Daddy!" Song You chased after him, unwillingly saying, "The thing on my face just now, it must have been someone else’s mischief, please investigate clearly, Daddy!"
"Oh? Who dares to bully my daughter?"
"I’ve heard that the girl Qing Dai in the courtyard next door has a Divine Pen. If she intended to use the Divine Pen on me, it surely would have been undetectable."
Song You thought about it and felt that Qing Dai was the most suspicious.
Although she had obtained the Divine Pen, she couldn’t control it.
It must have been Qing Dai getting her revenge, deliberately controlling the Divine Pen to do such a thing.
"I’ll take you to ask her. If it really was her doing, I will absolutely not let her off lightly."
Song Jian looked determined to seek justice for her, taking them to find Qing Dai first.
The three of them approaching the courtyard caught Nan Xian’s attention.
"Senior Song, what business do you have with Qing Dai?"
Nan Xian stood at the doorway, in a white robe, elegant and handsome, confronting their aggressive approach by stepping forward to inquire. His gaze upon seeing Song You carried a hint of coldness.
Song You glanced at Song Jian by her side, emboldened by the thought that he was there to support her, she directly expressed her dissatisfaction for once.
"She drew a turtle on my face with her pen, humiliated me in front of everyone!"
Nan Xian calmly smiled, "Miss Song, do you have evidence that it was Qing Dai who drew it?"
"Her Divine Pen is the evidence."
"There are countless people in the Heavenly Mechanism Sect with higher cultivation than you. Any one of them could slip into your room and draw something without making a sound, not to mention that the Divine Pen isn’t in your hands, is it?"
Song Jian’s mind was quick, catching the crucial point in Nan Xian’s words.
"What do you mean by ’the Divine Pen in her hands’?"
Before Nan Xian could explain, Song You hurriedly said, "Qing Dai and I went to Spiritual Artifact Mountain together, then encountered danger. Qing Dai accidentally dropped the Divine Pen, and I happened to pick it up.
Since coming back from Spiritual Artifact Mountain, I have already returned the Divine Pen to her!"
Nan Xian looked at her expressionlessly, thinking how this woman was really full of lies.
How could Senior Song, a man of such righteousness and deep feeling, have such a daughter?
"When did you return the Divine Pen to me?"
Qing Dai walked out from the courtyard, looking at Song You with a mocking gaze.
"I heard everything just now. Song You, how can you falsely accuse me ? Even though I don’t have a Sect Leader as a father, that doesn’t give you the right to sully me!
Indeed, my Divine Pen is lost, but I have never received any Divine Pen from you!"
She crossed her arms, leisurely watching as Song You’s face changed color.
"Why don’t we go search your room to see if the Divine Pen might be there?"
Song You was unable to store the Divine Pen in her Storage Space, so the pen was still in her room.
"No, you can’t just barge into my room!"
She had left in a hurry and hadn’t noticed the Divine Pen was still there. She thought Qing Dai, aiming to retrieve the Divine Pen, had taken the opportunity to draw a big turtle on her face.
Witnessing Qing Dai’s confidence at the moment, she didn’t dare let anyone else enter her room.
Qing Dai ran to Song Jian, saying with a wronged expression, "She is the daughter you finally found after much difficulty. You have been so kind to me, and I wanted to be friends with her, but with her accusing me , how can we ever be friends in the future?
You must clear my name for what happened today."
Qing Dai sneered inwardly, thinking who doesn’t know how to tattle?
If it weren’t for her father being the Sect Leader, Song You wouldn’t even be qualified to play these games with her.
"Then let’s go inside and take a look."
Song Jian turned and went next door; as soon as he entered, he saw the white jade Divine Pen on the bedside.
"Is this the thing? It’s indeed no ordinary object."
"Of course, it is. This is a gift from my father, even Divinity Transformation masters are no match for it in a single move. Moreover, the Divine Pen has its own spiritual intelligence and won’t obey commands from petty thieves."
Qing Dai stepped forward and took back the Divine Pen, her words filled with a mocking tone.
Song Jian looked meaningfully at Song You, "Qing Dai’s cultivation isn’t high; without the Divine Pen, it’s impossible for her to have drawn the pattern on you without you noticing. We misunderstood her earlier, you should apologize to her.
Since the Divine Pen belongs to Qing Dai, returning it to her now is not too late."
Song You hadn’t expected things to turn out this way, and Song Jian hadn’t simply taken her side.
She felt like there was a fishbone stuck in her throat, resented in her heart.
"I helped her find the Divine Pen, that should count as making amends. Let’s skip the apology!"
Song You’s tone was somewhat teeth-clenched.
"Are you certain you just picked up the Divine Pen?" Qing Dai scoffed disdainfully, "What exactly happened at Spiritual Artifact Mountain, you know best in your heart!
Oh right, I heard an elder brother mention earlier that for the safety of the disciples, Spiritual Artifact Mountain is also equipped with an Array system for monitoring, and the Sect Leader can review it anytime. Uncle Song, perhaps you should take a look first."
The color drained from Song You’s face in an instant.
After a long while, she nearly squeezed the words out through clenched teeth, "There has indeed been some misunderstanding between us. I’m apologizing now, isn’t that enough? I’m sorry!"
"What? I didn’t quite hear that."
Qing Dai folded her arms and purposely said.
Song You repeated, her face turning red.
Qing Dai originally wanted her to bow as well, but considering her relationship with Song Jian, she didn’t take it too far.
"Youyou, let’s have a talk."
Song Jian asked the others to leave first, his expression stern.
Once only the two of them were left, Song Jian didn’t mince his words, "Youyou, I personally feel I’ve let you down, and I will make it up to you in the future. But I don’t want you to become a spoiled brat, misbehaving under the guise of my reputation.
Qing Dai’s Divine Pen is extraordinary, which means her father must be no ordinary person.
This world is not like the other one; it’s full of capable individuals. If you offend someone, even as the leader of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, I might not be able to protect you."
"I understand," Song You behaved obediently and then explained, "There was just a small conflict between Qing Dai and me. I will reconcile with her, so as not to offend anyone on behalf of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect."
"It’s good you understand your limits. I shall go find the Seventh Elder now, to borrow a Holy Object."
Song Jian sighed, "Finally, I will be able to see your mother. I just hope she won’t blame me for being late."
His tone uncontrollably revealing excitement, he was no longer interested in dealing with this impostor daughter and quickly left.
