CHAPTER 766 SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH

"Miss Juey, we can use another spirit-manipulated beast to test if this Ethereal Spirit Pill is poisonous or

not," Rocky suggested.

"Willie, please send someone to bring a spirit-manipulated beast here," Juey instructed as she agreed

with Rocky's suggestion.

Willie then sent someone to bring a worthless spirit-manipulated beast so they could check if the pill

was indeed poisonous or not.

The expressions on the three men's faces immediately changed when they saw that Juey was going to

try the Ethereal Spirit Pill.

Guided by Rocky, Juey carefully fed the Ethereal Spirit Pill to the spirit-manipulated beast. After a short

while, foam came out of the beast's mouth, and it fell on the floor thereafter.

"Look! The Xiao Clan's Ethereal Spirit Pill is poisonous!" the man shouted and pointed his finger at the

spirit-manipulated beast on the floor.

"I never expected that the pills sold by the Xiao Clan are poisonous!"

"I gave my spirit-manipulated beast pills from the Xiao Clan. Is my beast also poisoned?"

"It looks like I will never buy any pills from the Xiao Clan again."

The people who observed the event caused a commotion. They speculated among themselves and

expressed their disgust.

Disturbed, Willie shook his head and sighed. The more Rocky and Juey got involved, the more

desperate they became.

"Miss Juey, what did you say?" Rocky shouted when the voices around them were so loud, and

deliberately leaned closer to Juey.

Juey understood Rocky's action. She smiled sweetly and pretended to whisper something in his ear.

"Okay, I know." Rocky pretended he understood what Juey said and nodded his head. He looked

around and said in a loud voice, "Attention everyone! Miss Juey has found the reason."

Everyone's eyes were once again focused on Rocky.

Harry and the other beast curers of the Xiao Clan were all stunned when they heard the

announcement. They themselves felt hopeless and could not figure out the reason. But Juey, who was

clueless about the Beast Curing Skill, had the answer.

"Miss Juey said the Ethereal Spirit Pill is indeed poisonous," Rocky declared with no hesitation.

Because of this, the people in the auction house became more agitated. Admitting that the Xiao Clan's

pills were poisonous was like digging their own grave. The announcement did not help the situation a

bit.

"However, it is not because the pill itself is poisonous. Someone added something to the pill that made

it poisonous. Once the pill is ingested, the blood of a spirit-manipulated beast will clot and block its

blood vessels. Soon it will become paralyzed, and will die," Rocky continued in a loud voice.

The crowd burst into an uproar once again when they heard this.

The man pretended to be calm and said, "This is what you are telling us, but who knows if it is true or

not. Unless you show evidence, no one will believe what you just said."

"Of course, we can find the evidence. The Ethereal Spirit Pills were produced at the Magical Beast

House. For sure, a strict security measure was set in place to protect the pills. This only means that the

culprit had access to the Magical Beast House and its research facilities," Rocky explained, and then

nodded towards Juey.

"Willie, can you tell us who has access to the Ethereal Spirit Pills?" Juey turned to Willie and asked in a

serious voice.

"The Ethereal Spirit Pills are gathered and delivered by two disciples of the Xiao Clan. Then they will

hand the pills over to a staff member of the Magical Beast House, so there should only be three people

who have access to the pills," Willie answered after thinking for a while.

"Then we need to speak to these three people, Miss Juey. Only then can we figure out who is behind

all this," Rocky said after hearing Willie's explanation.

Before long, they summoned the three people who had physical contact with the Ethereal Spirit Pills.

Two of them were disciples from the Xiao Clan, and the other one was a staff member of the Magical

Beast House.

The two Xiao Clan disciples looked calm, but the staff member was obviously nervous and was

covered with sweat.

"It seems like there is no need to interrogate them. It is clear who did this. Tell me, who ordered you to

tamper with the pills?" Willie noticed that the staff member was edgy and was fidgeting anxiously. He

assumed right away he was involved. He glared at the trembling man and pointed his finger towards

him.

"No! It's not me!" The staff member waved his hands in haste.

"It's not you? You are telling us it's one of them? They are the disciples of the Xiao Clan and have

served the clan for years. It is highly impossible for them to betray the clan. You are the probable

suspect here." Willie was convinced that it was the staff member who messed around with the Ethereal

Spirit Pill.

"Butler Willie, calm down. We should not point our finger without any evidence. Miss Juey said that the

Ethereal Spirit Pill was sprinkled with a powder called Cyan Sulphur. Much as the scent of Cyan

Sulphur is light, the smell clings to the person who touched it. It is very difficult to remove it, so if any of

them has the smell of Cyan Sulphur, that person must be the one we are looking for," Rocky explained

as his eyes swept through the three suspects.

"Cyan Sulphur?" Willie nodded and immediately walked towards the staff member. He leaned closer

and sniffed the top of his head.

Then, he moved towards one of the disciples of the Xiao Clan and did the same. He looked at Rocky

and signaled that there was nothing.

As Willie stepped in front of the other disciple, the man trembled and knelt down to beg for mercy.

"Butler Willie, please forgive me. I had no choice."

"It was you? Who ordered you to do this?" Willie shouted. He was so furious he wanted to hit the man

in front of him.

The disciple looked at the three men who tried to stir up trouble.

"Oh, I see. You are behind all this." Juey followed the disciple's gaze and understood right away.

"Your Xiao Clan is just trying to find a scapegoat for all of this." The man in charge panicked.

"Butler Willie, they gave me money and instructed me to sprinkle a bag of powder on the Ethereal Spirit

Pills. They promised me more money once it was done." Cornered by Willie, the disciple of the Xiao

Clan did not dare to hide the truth. He hurriedly took out a bank note from his pocket and waved it in

front of him.

This confused the onlookers. They whispered among themselves and speculated about who was telling

the truth.

"Miss Juey..." Rocky turned to Juey and gave her another hint.

For a moment, Juey stared at Rocky with a blank expression on her face. As she figured out what he

was trying to say, she said in an all-knowing tone, "They gave him the Cyan Sulphur, I am sure they

also smell of Cyan Sulphur."

The man's face turned pale as he heard Juey's conclusion. He looked around him and realized that he

was at a disadvantage. Without a word, he nodded to the two other men and pushed his way out of the

crowd. Terrified, the three of them disappeared in a flash.

"I think it is settled. Those three men devised a way to tamper with the Ethereal Spirit Pills. Obviously,

their goal was to destroy the reputation of Magical Beast House and the Xiao Clan. Good thing, Miss

Juey saw through their evil plot. Guilty, they panicked and ran away. Don't you agree?" Willie explained

as he put a lid on the case. He cast a stern glance at the fading figures of the three men.

"Miss Juey, you have hidden your real strength and talent for a long time!"

"They said that Miss Juey had no talent in beast healing. But now it seems like it was a piece of false

information."

"I agree with you. Miss Juey must be as talented as Miss Mary in the Beast Curing Skill."

At this moment, the crowd showered Juey with unending praise and compliments. holds © this.
