"Shut up!" Bai Tingtao snapped, his face grim. "Who told you to distort the truth?"

Elder Bai was the most hot-tempered of the four elders. When he got angry, everyone in the Xuanmen sect was afraid, let alone Sister Wang, who was just an ordinary person.

She panicked and instinctively looked to Liu Manling for help.

Qiu Tianxin gritted his teeth and stepped forward, saying, "It's like this, I was framed by a sorcery that only involved three divinations. Now I've lost my job, I can't afford the mortgage, and my family is about to starve..."

"Nonsense! You lost your job because you were immoral and played around with young girls!" Bai Tingtao was even angrier. He could tell at a glance that this person's aura was mixed and impure, his genitals were disordered, and there was an accumulation of foul air.

This person is filthy, and still has the nerve to cry here?

The thought of Ming Zhuo being so young and yet being slandered by such people immediately put Bai Tingtao in a bad mood.

He was too embarrassed to bring such trash to Mingzhuo's face.

When the old man got angry, he was truly furious. "What kind of filthy thing are you? Not a single word you said is pleasing to the ear! I don't need you here to distort the truth and spread rumors and slander!"

Qiu Tianxin broke out in a cold sweat and didn't dare to say a word.

Bai Tingtao turned his gaze to Liu Manling, "You're Xiao Tang's niece? You tell me!"

Liu Manling felt a tightness in her scalp. She quickly racked her brains, trying to figure out how to break the deadlock.

Bai Tingtao seemed to suddenly remember something, "Wait a minute, what does this have to do with you? What's it to you to meddle?"

In her haste, Liu Manling blurted out, "Because he only performed three divinations without reporting or registering, he is not qualified to broadcast live. This is tarnishing the reputation of the Xuanmen sect!"

Bai Tingtao: "Who told you she didn't register?"

Upon sensing something amiss in the old man's tone, the Tang family uncle quickly tried to smooth things over with a smile, "There might be some misunderstanding, but Manling's intentions were good..."

Before he could finish speaking, a slight noise came from the next room, and Bai Tingtao immediately got up and went over.

Uncle Tang was a little curious. From his angle, he could see Bai Tingtao talking to the people inside. His attitude was friendly and enthusiastic, and he even had a smile on his face.

Who is this? How could they make the hot-tempered Old Bai make such an expression?

However, one thing is certain: Bai Tingtao's anger has subsided, and Uncle Tang also breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, he simply couldn't handle the old man's temper!

A moment later, Bai Tingtao came out with a stack of documents and looked at Liu Manling, "Is Cheng Jingru your daughter?"

Just then, Shen Boyuan pushed open the door and entered.

Upon seeing Shen Boyuan, Liu Manling immediately felt confident and replied, "Yes."

Bai Tingtao nodded and looked down at the stack of documents in his hand.

The old man doesn't like to go online, so all the materials he printed out on the spot were fresh online opinions.

He glanced at a few lines, grew angrier and angrier, and slammed his fist on the table.

"You bastard! Who gave you the right to spread rumors online? Where's Cheng Jingru? Tell her to get over here and explain herself!"

Shen Boyuan's heart tightened, and he quickly stepped forward: "Old Bai, Jingru is still on a mission, is there some misunderstanding?"

"There's no misunderstanding!" Bai Tingtao was furious. "Go online and see for yourself! We invited you to be on the show, not to become internet celebrities! Inciting fans to attack respected seniors, is this how you do things?"

A highly respected senior? Shen Boyuan was momentarily stunned, then it dawned on him that something was wrong.

This only involves three divinations, and Zhuang Xun and his group were very enthusiastic about it before. Could it be...?

Liu Manling: "Elder Bai, you can't let your opinion of Jing Ru prevent you from handling this impartially! She's not qualified to do live streaming just because she only does three divinations, and she's not on the Xuanmen's registration list!"

She gritted her teeth, refusing to believe the other elders shared the same attitude. "I demand a joint trial by the four elders!"

The other three elders were naturally unable to come to the scene in person, so the trial was conducted online.

Soon, the connection between the elders was projected onto the wall, and Liu Manling organized her thoughts and quickly gave a presentation.

She used to be a university teacher, but she was detained for spreading rumors and the school dismissed her, but she still has a knack for speaking.

One of the elders connected online was surnamed Shen, the same Shen as Shen Boyuan.

Although Shen Boyuan never flaunted his family background after becoming a disciple of another master, Liu Manling had already investigated Shen Boyuan's family background.

Cheng Jingru and Shen Boyuan came from the same school, so their relationship was naturally closer than with others, and the elders in the family all liked Cheng Jingru very much.

She felt that Mr. Shen would definitely be on her side.

Elder Shen spoke first: "Boyuan, I asked you to take care of your junior sister, and this is how you take care of her? The Xuanmen sect has become as chaotic and disorderly as a fan club. What kind of behavior is this!"

He didn't point out anyone else's mistakes or blame Shen Boyuan, but it was clear to everyone that this incident had nothing to do with Shen Boyuan.

The other two elders were also very unhappy.

They are old, but not senile. In fact, the other two elders are very fond of surfing the internet and can see through the intricacies of the matter at a glance.

"Madam, do you know that spreading rumors and defamation is illegal?"

"The 'Three Divinations' livestream account is officially certified by our Xuanmen sect. If I say she's qualified, then she's qualified!"

"What role did Cheng Jingru play in this incident? Explain yourself clearly!"

"You better not lie or try to justify yourself in front of us. These fans were incited by you!"

"Apologize! A public apology is required, or this is not over!"

Liu Manling panicked completely; this was not what she had expected!

Uncle Tang was also extremely flustered. The fact that the four elders were so angry showed just how big a mess they had made this time.

He was truly ruined by Liu Manling!

"Manling, explain yourself clearly! What exactly happened? Why are you slandering Senior Three-Divination Master? You've even fooled me!"

Liu Manling thought she had victory in the bag, so she leaked the news beforehand to reassure her fans. Little did she expect that she would end up shooting herself in the foot!

Faced with the evidence, she couldn't deny it at all.

To clear himself of any involvement, Uncle Tang severely reprimanded her and made Cheng Jingru come over to explain and publicly apologize.

Liu Manling didn't want this matter to involve Cheng Jingru. If Jingru fell, what hope would their family have of turning things around?

Finally, he simply took all the blame upon himself, crying and saying that he was wrong and begging for forgiveness.

She said she was also deceived by Sister Wang and Qiu Tianxin, which is why she made a mistake in a confused state of mind.

Qiu Tianxin was immediately indignant. "You were the one who approached me first, so how come all the blame is being placed on me?"

He was even angrier at Wang Zhao. If that idiot hadn't gone to the media to cry and make a show, it wouldn't have attracted so much attention.

So the three parties started blaming each other and shifting the blame, getting so angry that they almost came to blows.

Finally, the people from the Punishment Hall kicked him out, ending this farce.

A few minutes later, Mingzhuo saw Liu Manling's apology statement.

She sincerely apologized to the fortune teller, saying that she shouldn't have used the fortune teller to promote her daughter, and that it was all her own decision and had nothing to do with her daughter.
