"What's going on?"
Tang Xiao noticed his disciple's reaction and immediately asked sternly.
"No... it's gone. The hidden weapon was originally placed here. I was just here."
"Gone?"
The second elder suddenly turned around and looked at the pale-faced disciple.
"How could it be missing? This is Yuexuan, there are so many people from Haotian here and there, how could it be missing?"
The second elder even thought that there was a thief in the Haotian Sect, otherwise who could have stolen things from Yuexuan.
Although he and Tang Xiao left, there were still three other elders staying in Yuexuan. Unless there was a Titled Douluo acting as a thief, no one could steal anything from Yuexuan.
But which Titled Douluo would be so shameless as to steal things? Even their Haotian Sect would not do such a thing. Even if it was robbery, it would have to be done by Tang Hao, the abandoned disciple.
"Don't worry, go call the Third Elder and the others."
"yes."
The disciple ran out immediately as if he had been pardoned.
After a while, the third elder, the fourth elder, and the sixth elder arrived together.
"Master, did you lose the hidden weapon you made?"
The Second Elder asked with a sullen face, "I still have something to ask you. The Sect Master and I were out on business, and you stayed behind to guard Yuexuan. With such a serious incident as the loss of a hidden weapon, didn't you even notice?"
The three elders looked at each other and shook their heads.
"We didn't find anything. With our perception, even if we're not on full alert, as long as it's not a Titled Douluo hiding his tracks, even if a Soul Douluo wants to sneak into Yuexuan, they will be able to detect it."
They would never admit that they were wrong. They didn't go out and stayed in Yuexuan, so they really didn't find anything.
Tang Xiao's face was also a little gloomy.
The hidden weapons that Tang San had spent several days making disappeared all at once. The materials for making the hidden weapons were all provided by them.
Now that the hidden weapon is missing, it is like adding insult to injury for the Haotian Sect, which is already in dire financial straits.
Besides, they had agreed with Xu Yunchang that three days later, before the next pill auction at the Soul Palace, they would be given an opportunity to auction hidden weapons.
But now all the hidden weapons are gone, so there's no point in auctioning them.
"Go find Tang San."
The second elder suddenly thought of something and gave the order with a serious face.
"Second Elder, do you suspect that Xiao San stole the hidden weapon?" Tang Xiao asked with a frown.
"I don't want to doubt him, but Tang San's actions don't seem like those of a disciple completely loyal to the Clear Sky Sect. It's not impossible that he was dissatisfied with handing over the hidden weapon to the sect and secretly stole it back."
Tang Xiao then asked the three elders:
"Xiao San has been at Yuexuan. Do you know if he has sneaked over here?"
The Third Elder said quickly, "You've already said that Tang San has been in Yuexuan. He's a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect. How could we pay attention to his activities in Yuexuan?"
Ultimately, the reason for this matter was that they were too confident. From the beginning, they didn't think anyone would dare to come to Yuexuan to steal things.
Moreover, they have always regarded Yuexuan as a temporary stay, and have not set up any mechanisms, and the guards arranged are also very sparse.
"Master, we know you are concerned about Tang San being Tang Hao's son, but as the Master of the Haotian Sect, you cannot be partial to others in matters concerning the interests of the sect."
Several elders looked at Tang Xiao, and Tang Xiao himself was not sure whether Tang San was the one who stole the hidden weapon.
"Okay, go find the Xiao San and get everything straight. I won't show favoritism, but I won't allow anyone to frame her either."
"Don't worry, Sect Master. We elders are here and will definitely get to the bottom of this matter."
When Tang San was called, he was still making hidden weapons.
He was confused when he was suddenly called away, especially when the disciple from the Clear Sky Sect who called him looked at him with a very strange look, which made Tang San even more confused.
"What do uncle and the elders want from me?"
On the way, Tang San asked his disciples in a low voice.
The last time he was called here, he lost the right to use and ownership of the hidden weapons he made. This time it was obviously not a good thing, and Tang San was a little uneasy.
But the Haotian Sect disciple ignored him and instead quickened his pace with a look of disgust on his face.
Tang San didn't feel uneasy for long, as he was soon taken to the warehouse.
"Uncle, elders, what do you want to talk to me about? I'm still busy making hidden weapons for the Haotian Sect."
Tang San forced a smile, the atmosphere in the warehouse was really a bit scary.
"Ahem~"
Tang Xiao coughed, breaking the silence.
"Xiao San, do you know where this place is?"
"Here? This is Yuexuan, the foundation built by my aunt."
Although Tang San didn't know what was going on, nor did he know why Tang Xiao and the others were looking for him, he was smart enough to immediately pull out Tang Yuehua's banner and implicitly suggested that this was Tang Yuehua's territory.
The second elder looked at Tang San with an even more unfriendly look.
He saw Tang San's little thoughts clearly.
When did the disciples of the Haotian Sect become so cunning? It's obvious they're not honest people. How abominable.
"I'm asking about this room." Tang Xiao continued.
"This room? I don't know. Besides visiting my aunt, I've been busy making hidden weapons since I came to the academy. I haven't been here before."
The more Tang San said this, the more suspicious the elders found him, and even Tang Xiao's suspicion of him increased a little.
The second boss said sternly, "This is the warehouse. The hidden weapons you made are originally stored here."
"originally?"
Tang San heard some meaning in the words of the Second Elder.
Tang Xiao sighed softly and said in a gentle voice:
"Just now, all the hidden weapons placed here suddenly disappeared. Yuexuan's Haotian Sect disciples and several elders didn't notice anything."
As Tang San listened, his eyes gradually widened.
Oh my God!
All the hidden weapons he had painstakingly crafted day and night were gone?
He now wanted to point at Tang Xiao and several elders' noses and scold them, calling them useless. They were Titled Douluo at that time, but they didn't even know that their things were stolen. They had completely disgraced the reputation of a Titled Douluo.
But he quickly realized that they might be doubting him.
Tang San was startled and asked with wide eyes:
"Uncle, you guys are not suspecting me of stealing a hidden weapon, are you? I stole a hidden weapon I made myself, am I crazy?"
Tang Xiao was not sure whether it was or not, but the Second Elder and the others had no concerns at all.
"Who knows? Outsiders can't enter Yuexuan. It's very likely that it was done by thieves in the house, and you... hehe."
Tang San was simply crying out in injustice.
Tang San is a dishonest person. He stole things from the Tang Sect in his previous life, and after his reincarnation, he also wanted to steal the alchemy skills from the Soul Palace.
But God has mercy on him. He has only suffered losses in the Haotian Sect and has never gained any advantage.
"Uncle, elders, I, Tang San, am completely loyal to the Clear Sky Sect and would never do such a shameful thing."
The Second Elder and the others had expressions of disbelief on their faces, but Tang Xiao finally gave them a way out.
"We don't just suspect you, we suspect everyone at Yuexuan. Don't be too anxious."
The Second Elder's gaze swept across the Twenty-Four Bridges on the Moonlit Night on Tang San's waist.
"Is this a storage soul guide?"
No wonder there was no movement, it turns out there was a storage soul guide.
Tang San's face changed. He indeed did not steal the hidden weapons from the warehouse, but he could not let people search Twenty-Four Bridges on Moonlit Night.
