As soon as Bai Di uttered those words, many people in the audience frowned deeply.

Everyone knows that the testing stone is an extremely impartial object. Its internal structure follows the rules of heaven and earth, was personally crafted by an ancient powerful being, and has been verified over countless years without ever making a mistake. There is absolutely no possibility of any trickery involved.

The crowd erupted in uproar, their disdainful gazes piercing Bai Di like sharp swords.

"She's clearly no match for Bai Ying and just can't accept reality."

"I naively thought that Bai Di was a person who was indifferent to fame and fortune and transcended worldly affairs. Who would have thought that he would slander Bai Ying like this without any basis? It's really too much!"

"If you can't beat them, just admit it openly. It's utterly absurd and ridiculous to accuse them of cheating!"

The crowd erupted in a torrent of mocking remarks, engulfing Bai Di. Even those who had previously idolized her now looked at her with a hint of disappointment.

The sect leader of Xingyao Sect also looked grim. He roared, "Bai Di, say no more! Get out of here immediately!"

Bai Di clenched her teeth, her eyes filled with unspeakable resentment. She didn't believe Bai Ying hadn't cheated.

However, before she could speak, Bai Yanfeng couldn't hold back any longer.

He immediately stepped forward.

"Everyone, you are all unaware of this!" Bai Yanfeng exclaimed, "My Bai family possesses a very special talisman. This talisman has miraculous power and can alter test results. Once this talisman is used, Bai Ying's abilities can be greatly enhanced in a short period of time. In my opinion, she must have cheated using this!"

Even Bai Di was somewhat surprised at this moment. She only knew that the Bai family's talismans could reduce a person's abilities, but she didn't know that they could also enhance a person's abilities.

Bai Yanfeng immediately took out a talisman and stuck it on his body.

"As you all saw, the testing stone was orange when I tested it before. Now, I'll show you what it will look like now!"

Having said that, he strode to the testing stone and pressed his hand heavily onto it. All eyes turned to the stone, which had initially emitted an orange glow. The stone, as if controlled by an invisible hand, began to slowly change color. The orange faded, replaced by a vibrant red, the red light growing stronger and stronger, making Bai Yanfeng's face flush red.

"Holy crap!" This exclamation instantly caused the entire square to erupt in excitement.

They had always held the Test Stone in high esteem, regarding it as a symbol of justice, but they never imagined that there was actually a bizarre way to cheat in front of it.

"No way? Did Bai Ying really cheat?!"

"This is outrageous! I was just thinking about how high a talent it must be to be able to turn the testing stone black. It should be impossible, but it turns out it's real!"

Standing beside the testing stone, Bai Yanfeng watched everyone's reactions, his smugness growing stronger. He slightly raised his head, glancing sideways at Bai Ying, his eyes flashing with undisguised arrogance!

The Bai family's talismans do indeed have magical and strange effects. If pasted upright, they can greatly reduce a person's abilities; however, if pasted backward, they can increase a person's abilities.

Previously, Bai Ying's mother, Zhou Ying, had harbored deep worries. She knew all too well the uproar that would ensue if the secret of the talisman were revealed. She feared that Bai Di, in order to secure victory, would affix the talisman to himself, thus being discovered cheating, with unimaginable consequences.

Therefore, she secretly planned that if she affixed the power-reducing talisman to someone else, she could frame them for cheating should the matter be exposed.

Bai Di's participation in this test is of extraordinary significance. It is not only about the supreme glory of the Star Glory Sect, but also closely linked to the rise and fall of the entire Bai family.

If Bai Di can come out on top in this test, the entire Bai family will rise in status, gaining countless resources and benefits, and their position in the cultivation world will be greatly enhanced.

For this reason, before the competition, the head of the Bai family solemnly summoned Bai Ying's mother, Zhou Ying, and Bai Yanfeng to a quiet corner.

He carefully took the talisman out of his pocket and solemnly handed it to Zhou Ying, repeatedly instructing them to make sure the matter was handled properly and that Bai Di would become the first place winner in this competition.

White Eagle, however, was too impatient. He was afraid he would leak the information, so he didn't tell him.

Bai Yanfeng stood in the square, feeling extremely smug as he looked at the doubtful and accusatory gazes directed at Bai Ying.

He looked at Bai Ying and whispered, "Let's see what you do now."

He had previously worried that his mother would be reluctant to stick the talisman on Bai Ying because she felt sorry for her.

It seems that in her heart, her mother loved Xiaodi more than Baiying.

Now that the talisman is affixed to Bai Ying's body, no matter how she tries to make the testing stone appear black, in everyone's eyes, her crime of cheating is already a foregone conclusion.

Bai Yanfeng became increasingly smug, and his smile grew even more exaggerated.

He lifted his foot, walked arrogantly to Bai Ying, and said loudly in an extremely haughty tone:

"Bai Ying, stop embarrassing yourself. I know you've always been resentful that Xiao Di got first place, but you can't cheat like this! Even though you and Xiao Di are both my sisters, I'm a fair and just person, and I can't tolerate any injustice. I absolutely cannot stand by and watch this unfair thing happen!"
