Many people knew that Zhang Gaoqiu was the last to leave the ancestral shrine. Yet, Zhang Gaoqiu was invited by the Shen Family to assist in refining this treasure. If after everyone left, Zhang Gaoqiu had the chance to refine the treasure and then took the opportunity to keep it for himself, this explanation makes sense, and the likelihood is considerable.
"I remember when the fire broke out, we were all busy putting it out, only Zhang Gaoqiu remained in the ancestral shrine refining the treasure..."
As that disciple spoke, everyone's gaze shifted to Zhang Gaoqiu. Zhang Gaoqiu's face suddenly turned pale, his expression darkened, and facing the elders' eyes, Zhang Gaoqiu said in a low voice, "What? Do you all suspect that I stole the treasure?"
"You had the ability and opportunity to steal the treasure," the disciple questioned.
At this moment, Shen Zhen sternly scolded the disciple, "Silence! Do not speak nonsense, Nephew Gaoqiu is not the kind to do such disgraceful things!"
