“This young lady will soon wake up,” the old doctor concluded with a chuckle.
After giving her thanks, Yu Gui turned to look at the three mentors who had foul-looking expressions. She said coldly, “Mentor Zhang, did you all hear that? Say how this situation should get resolved.”
The middle-aged mentor gave Yu Gui a guilty look. “You, what are you saying? Could we mentors harm our own students?”
“The facts are clear. I don’t know what there is to refute!” Yu Gui interrupted his quibbling while giving him a good stare.
Mentor Zhang turned to glare at a young mentor in chagrin, “Mentor Sun, explain to them. The spiritual-returning solution had been in your safekeeping. How could it have poison?”
Mentor Sun said indifferently, “How should I know? The academy had provided this medicinal solution…”
*Swish, plat!* A dictum talisman flew to Mentor Sun and split apart.
The talisman energy penetrated Mentor Sun’s body. It made him freeze, after which he spilled the beans on everything. “It was Eldest Young Lady Xu who instructed me to do so. It was Xu Xinran. She gave me 10 thousand mystic currency and a black-rank spiritual technique. I, I was under her orders! To put flaming scarlet poison in the medicinal bottles intended for Yu Gui and them.”
The truth actually got revealed instantly!
Everyone was flabbergasted.
Xu Xinran’s face had contorted from anger. She bolted up from her seat and pointed at Mentor Sun while screeching, “Don’t you slander me unfoundedly. When did I make you do such a thing?”
“Oh my my, Mentor Sun, Mentor Zhang is correct in saying that you cannot accuse others indiscriminately for no reason!” Zhuang Meng covered her mouth while chuckling.
Xu Xinran was filled with anger as she turned to glare at Zhuang Meng. “Don’t make more trouble.”
After Mentor Sun finished rattling off his piece, he froze up like a jammed mechanism. He looked left and right in a daze, his brain short-circuiting.
Wh-What did he just say? Mentor Sun couldn’t help but be apprehensive at Xu Xinran’s furious glare.
“Xu Xinran, what else do you have to say?” Yu Gui and the others glowered at her while summoning their spiritual swords from their conscious pool. They pointed them at Xu Xinran.
“What do you guys want to do?” Mentor Zhang lectured them lividly, “You are all from the same academy, yet you are pointing swords at each other due to a simple misunderstanding? Are you not afraid of getting expelled from the academy?”
Xu Xinran scoffed at them and pointed at Qiao Mu. “It was that little witch who used some kind of underhanded method to make Mentor Sun act oddly. It is simply impossible for you to prove that I did this just from Mentor Sun’s one-sided testimony.”
“You had already made the academy lose from your mistake in the earlier match! Right now, you are even pointing swords at your companion! You all really think that your talent is so great that the academy can pardon your misdeeds?”
The little lady suddenly shouted in fury, “She’s calling me a little witch!”
“Peony,” Crown Prince Mo ordered dryly.
The Peony Immortal immediately darted forward. She giggled with a bewitching smile and then gave Xu Xinran’s face two sound slaps without room for objection.
Afterwards, the Peony Immortal said coquettishly with an expression that said she couldn’t bear it, “Aiya, why make things difficult for your own kind.”
