Could it be... that what's outside is really a lie?

"Oh dear, if that's really the case, then Peak Master Yan has been wronged!!"

"It's more than just a wrongful accusation; I think it's a frame-up. It's been widely discussed lately, and even the new students may have heard about it."

"As the saying goes, 'three men can make a tiger,' could there be a conspiracy involved?"

Jia Xitong's brows were so tightly furrowed they could have trapped a fly.

"Regardless of any conspiracy, clarifying the matter is imperative! Just because our Shang Yanting can't speak properly doesn't mean we can slander him! Our Shang Yanting will not tolerate this injustice!"

"Teacher Tong, how do you plan to clarify this?"

Upon hearing this, the other four people immediately became interested.

"I have money!"

Jia Xitong patted her small bag, saying, "I paid people to spread clarification messages."

"Hmm... isn't this also considered spreading rumors?"

"What do you call spreading rumors?"

In terms of the veracity of the event, this is true.

From a crisis management perspective, this is a case of controlling public opinion.

She sat on the stone bench, crossed her legs, and pondered seriously, "But the question is, where should I spend this money?"

Having money but lacking access to resources is also a problem.

Looking at Teacher Tong's clumsy appearance, it really doesn't seem like a conspiracy. Moreover, they come to Xianlong Peak for classes every day, with pick-up and drop-off provided, and lunch is included, which is exceptionally good for them.

It's definitely not like what's being said outside.

The four exchanged glances, and finally Gao Xiang whispered, "Teacher Tong, why don't you keep the money for now? Maybe we can find a way?"
