"You..."
The old village chief's face turned ashen. He hadn't expected Da Yu to talk back to him.
Crab searched through dozens of rooms and finally found the Dragon Roaring Sword in Da Yu's room. The Dragon Roaring Sword was under the bed, wrapped in a piece of cloth.
"How is this possible? It's Da Yu!"
Many men from North Sea Village chattered among themselves, finding it hard to believe. After all, they knew Da Yu was one of them and couldn't possibly do such a thing.
"I really didn't expect Da Yu to do this!"
Crab also frowned, "If the village chief finds out about this, Da Yu will be expelled from the village!"
"What should we do now?"
Several men spoke up, "We all grew up together. If Da Yu is really expelled from North Sea Village, he might lose the will to live!"
"How about this! Let's just say the Dragon Roaring Sword was found by the dry well. That way, the old village chief won't blame anyone!"
Crab said, "We are all from North Sea Village, and none of us want to see Da Yu expelled from North Sea Village!"
"But if we do that, aren't we deceiving the old village chief?"
Many men spoke again, their hearts filled with conflict. The old village chief was highly respected in their eyes, and they didn't want to deceive him.
However, the current situation was not optimistic. If they didn't lie, Da Yu might not be saved.
"Do as I say!"
Crab said with a serious expression, "Da Yu must not be expelled from North Sea Village!"
The many men nodded, having no choice but to follow Crab's words.
After a while, Crab brought the Dragon Roaring Sword before everyone.
"Found it?"
Long Yi was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected the Dragon Roaring Sword to be found so quickly.
"Where was this Dragon Roaring Sword found?"
The old village chief narrowed his eyes and looked at Crab, "Who exactly did this!"
"This Dragon Roaring Sword was found by the dry well!"
Crab replied, "As for why it was there, we're not quite sure!"
"I knew no one would steal the Dragon Roaring Sword!"
Da Yu glared, "It must be that Miss Long sleepwalked to the dry well last night and dropped the sword there."
"Impossible, I didn't go to the dry well last night!"
Long Yi said firmly, frowning. This matter puzzled him even more. Last night, the Dragon Roaring Sword was by his bedside. How could it have appeared by the dry well?
"Tell me the truth, where exactly did Farmer Jian find the Dragon Roaring Sword!"
The old village chief's expression was cold, "I know you all grew up together and will naturally protect each other, but the village has its rules, and the clan has its rules. If anyone dares to cover up, they will be punished the same as the perpetrator!"
The crowd was greatly intimidated and didn't know what to do. They all looked at Crab. If they were truly expelled from North Sea Village, it would be a disaster for them.
"Crab, you tell me, where exactly was the Dragon Roaring Sword found!" the old village chief said coldly.
"I..." Crab stammered, showing considerable hesitation.
"Go on, say it!"
Da Yu spoke, "The old village chief is getting old. Don't make him angry. If someone really stole the Dragon Roaring Sword, it would shame North Sea Village. Such a person would be useless if they stayed in the village."
"Da Yu, just say a few less words,"
Crab frowned, "The Dragon Roaring Sword was found in your room. Do I need to be clearer?"
"In my room?"
Da Yu's body paused, "How is that possible?"
"Da Yu, we know your character is not bad, you were just infatuated by the divine sword,"
Several men said, "As long as you admit your mistake to the village chief, he won't make things difficult for you."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Da Yu shook his head, "Although I am very fond of the Dragon Roaring Sword, I did not steal it. How could it be in my room!"
"I don't believe this is true either!"
Crab showed a helpless expression, "But at this point, we have to believe it."
The old village chief also frowned. He had never expected Da Yu to do such a thing, which caught him off guard.
"Da Yu, how could you do such a thing!"
"Village Chief, you must believe me. I don't think I stole the Dragon Roaring Sword," Da Yu said with a serious expression.
"If what you said is true, then why did the Dragon Roaring Sword appear in your room?" the old village chief asked, his face stern.
"I don't know, I don't know why this happened!"
Da Yu stepped back, his eyes showing more anxiety. He was speechless.
He never expected things to turn out this way, but he could guarantee that he did not steal the Dragon Roaring Sword.
"Guards, expel Da Yu from North Sea Village!"
The old village chief's expression was cold, "Having done such a thing, bringing shame to North Sea Village, how can he remain in North Sea Village!"
"Village Chief, it really wasn't me!"
Da Yu said with a serious expression, "Someone must have framed me and put the Dragon Roaring Sword in my room."
"Village Chief, I also think this is possible!" Crab spoke up, "Why don't we wait until the matter is investigated clearly before making a decision!"
"No need. Today, we must give the Five Great Ancient Clans an explanation!" Su Dan novel network
The old village chief's expression was solemn, "Crab, you have always been benevolent, but some things must not be crossed."
Crab stepped aside and didn't say any more.
"Village Chief, I think this matter is quite strange!"
Lu Fan stepped forward and said, "It may not be Da Yu's doing!"
"What makes you say that?" the old village chief asked, frowning.
"If it were truly him, why would he hide the Dragon Roaring Sword in his own room!"
Lin Ke said, "It's likely someone wanted to frame him and did this. If this person isn't found, it will not be good for North Sea Village!"
The village chief hesitated for a moment, then felt that there was some truth to it, and looked towards the people of North Sea Village.
For a moment, the people of North Sea Village became uneasy. Being stared at by the old village chief made them even more uncomfortable.
"Actually, finding out who stole the Dragon Roaring Sword doesn't need to be so complicated."
Lu Fan said with a smile, "The Five Great Ancient Clans are connected to the divine sword's bloodline. As long as Long Yi communicates through the Dragon Roaring Sword, the true culprit can be identified."
"Communicate through the spiritual sword?"
The old village chief nodded slightly, "That is indeed a good method. I would like to see who exactly stole the Dragon Roaring Sword and did such a thing. If it was truly Da Yu's doing, I will not show any mercy."
The people of North Sea Village also straightened their chests. They hadn't stolen the Dragon Roaring Sword, so why should they be afraid? Only Crab stood by the side, his heart filled with a slight shock.
He hadn't expected the Five Great Ancient Clans to have such a method, to be able to communicate with the divine sword.
"Long Yi, let's begin!"
Lu Fan said, "I will personally guard you. I want to see who it is!"
