Chapter 702: It Meets the Standards of Senior Brother Dai
Everyone looked at Mu Yu's wrist. It was the emerald green jade bracelet that was consistent with Mu Xi's description.
"Mu Yu, what else do you have to say this time!"
"No, my father gave me and sister Mu Xi a jade bracelet each. This jade bracelet is mine." Mu Yu explained in a panic.
"Mu Xi's jade bracelet is not here. Now it appears in your place. You say it's from you. Do you have any evidence?"
Mu Yu couldn't argue, how could this be explained?
"Hurry and return the jade bracelet to Junior Sister Mu Xi!"
"Sister, if you want to make a pair of these jade bracelets, just tell your sister directly. Why do you need to do this?"
"I can prove who the jade bracelet belongs to." Gu Junye said suddenly.
Everyone looked at Gu Junye, wondering why he suddenly favored Mu Yu.
Gu Junye never cared about other people's eyes and said in a cold voice: "I accidentally knocked Junior Sister Mu Xi two meters away in the early morning. Under the circumstances at that time, Junior Sister Mu Xi's jade bracelet would definitely not be intact."
"Look at the jade bracelet on Mu Yu's wrist. There is no flaw at all. It has obviously not been hit."
The first classmate who discovered that Mu Yu had a jade bracelet was unhappy: "What if the jade bracelet is of good quality and cannot be broken?"
Gu Junye said calmly: "Then there is a second way. Do you know why the government often lets prisoners be remanded?"
"You all look at the inside of your fingers to see if there are circles of lines. These are called fingerprints. Everyone's fingerprints are different. As long as you touch something with your hands, the fingerprints will naturally be left."
"But you and I can't see anything with our eyes. I suggest reporting it to the government and asking practitioners to use their Dharma eyes to identify it. Then we can naturally know the answer."
"Okay, then report it to the official!"
Soon, the government sent a skilled police officer to check Mu Yu's jade bracelet.
"It's weird, why are there no fingerprints on it?" The detective frowned.
Mu Xi secretly laughed in her heart. It was useless to ask practitioners to come over. Someone in her family was working in the government, and she was aware of the existence of fingerprints. She and her sister Mu Yu had the habit of taking a bath every night, and the fingerprints had already been in warm water. It was washed away without a single fingerprint.
"The absence of fingerprints means that this is Mu Yu's jade bracelet." Gu Junye said lightly, looking at Mu Yu and Mu Xi at the same time.
"This morning I knocked down Junior Sister Mu Xi. When I helped her up, I touched her jade bracelet. There should be my fingerprints on the jade bracelet."
"The policeman is here just in time. He can search this room carefully to see where the jade bracelet is."
"Ah, I found the jade bracelet." Mu Xi suddenly said, smiling apologetically at everyone, "I pushed it to the bottom of the book."
"Junior sister Mu Xi, you are too careless."
"That's right, it's so worrying." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and signaled Mu Xi not to take this matter to heart.
"Wait, the matter is not over yet. You just searched others at will and framed Mu Yu. You should apologize to her." Gu Junye said with a frown.
"Gu Junye, I advise you not to go too far!" The classmate who first discovered Mu Yu's jade bracelet said angrily, "Are you going to let so many people apologize to Mu Yu?"
"Not everyone, he, her, her, her..." Gu Junye nodded at a few people, "These people didn't speak just now, so there is no need to apologize."
"you!"
"Also, Junior Sister Mu Xi, although you did not frame Mu Yu, but because of your carelessness, the detective brother made a wasted trip and wasted time. You need to apologize to the detective brother and everyone."
"Jun Ye is right." The teacher held an iron ruler and tapped his palms repeatedly, making a scary sound.
Everyone had no choice but to apologize one by one under pressure.
After the incident was over, Mu Xi found Gu Junye privately and whispered:
"Jun Ye, actually there is no need to be so tense between us."
Gu Junye didn't answer. He had already said that the relationship between them was not that close. Who was Jun Ye? It was not him anyway.
"Jun Ye, my father thinks that the two of us are very suitable. He will propose marriage to your family tonight and make an engagement."
Only then did Gu Junye react and looked up at Mu Xi.
How could he be reincarnated as a powerful tribulation master and destroy Yuanyang here? How could he practice in the future?
He remained silent and continued to read with his head down, as if he didn't care about it.
Seeing this, Mu Xi stood for a while and then left.
In fact, she told her father privately that she wanted to marry Gu Junye.
It doesn't matter if Gu Junye doesn't have feelings for her. After making an engagement and having a reason to contact her, he will gradually fall in love with her.
After school, just as Mu Xi said, the Mu family proposed marriage to the Gu family with a betrothal gift.
The head of the Gu family, Gu Junye's father, had discussed it during the day and agreed to the marriage, but now it was just a formality.
The Gu family and the Mu family are both golden elixir families. Regardless of their family background or appearance, Gu Junye and Mu Xi are a perfect match.
"No, I don't agree with this marriage." Gu Junye openly opposed the two families' decision in front of everyone.
"How presumptuous, you have no right to speak here!" Father Gu was furious, feeling that it was a loss of face.
He never cared about his second son.
"I am one of the parties to the marriage contract, why don't I have the right to speak?" Gu Junye ignored his father's anger. He was the reincarnation of the Taoist Lord Wanfa. Even ninety-nine percent of the immortal tribulations could not break him. Who has he been afraid of?
"Your parents' orders to matchmakers will not tolerate your nonsense!"
"You bumped into Mu Xi during the day, and you don't have sex with each other. How can Mu Xi marry you like this in the future?"
"We are all from a family of cultivators. When we embark on the path of cultivation in the future, it is normal for men and women to touch each other. Do we have to distinguish between men and women in future battles?"
In his previous life, he didn't know how many female cultivators of the magic sect he had killed. Did he have to marry all of them?
"Nonsense!"
Gu's father couldn't argue with Gu Junye, so he could only say nonsense.
Mu Xi also looked at Gu Junye with tears in his eyes: "Junye, do you hate me so much?"
In front of so many people, Gu's father couldn't get off the stage for a while, and Mu's father came to smooth things over: "It's okay, it's just a child throwing a tantrum. Everything will be fine after entering the bridal chamber."
"I won't enter the bridal chamber."
"It's not up to you. I will take you to the bridal chamber even if I take you!"
Gu Junye heard this and didn't say anything. He just nodded, walked to the door, and invited in several constables who had been waiting outside for a long time.
"Brother detectives, look at what I said. There is a case of violent interference with marriage freedom here. They want to force me into the bridal chamber."
He learned that he was going to have an engagement, so he went to report the case after school and then went home.
...
Meng Jingzhou, who was secretly observing, looked at Lu Yang and gave a high evaluation of Gu Junye: "He abides by the law, does his job honestly, and practices diligently. He meets the standards of Senior Brother Dai. I think this is the person Senior Brother Dai is looking for."
Lu Yang also nodded: "He is a good candidate for joining our Dao Sect."
