"Of course not!" Feng Aotian emphasized: "But this is not because I admit that I am a woman and I am giving it back to you, but because I want to draw a clear line between us."

Yun Yuan snorted disdainfully. She was probably the only one who believed this. It was really just an attempt to cover up something.

She took out a pen from her space ring, then wrote an IOU in a very eloquent manner and asked Feng Aotian to put his fingerprint on it.

"Everyone present here can testify that I will tear up this IOU the moment you return the cultivation resources to me. Otherwise, don't blame me for having my clan come after your Feng family."

The Yun family provides Feng Aotian with cultivation resources every month. In the past, it was Yun Yuan’s mother who provided them. Later, when her mother passed away, the resources were provided by Yun Yuan herself.

After eighteen years of accumulation and investment, this amount of cultivation resources has become an astonishing figure. Even a large family like the Yun family cannot turn a blind eye to such a huge loss.

"Okay." Feng Aotian was in a dilemma and pressed his handprint with gritted teeth.

Everyone sighed. They were not fools. They were certain that Feng Aotian was a woman and were very disdainful of her previous behavior.

"Just now she was trying to slander Yun Yuan's innocence. As a woman, you're not afraid of getting your tongue lashed when you say such things."

"What's the point of talking about fun? How shameless."

"This person has been lying since the beginning. She must be here to covet Yun Yuan's talent."

"I don't believe it's such a coincidence. Yun Yuan just lost her talent, and she awakened the same talent as Yun Yuan before. The two people's talents just happened to be swapped."

Dong Lingchuan looked at Feng Aotian expressionlessly, and said in a cold tone: "Replacing someone's talent is unjust. To avoid similar situations in the future, I think Feng Aotian should be executed immediately."

"I agree with this proposal." Ximen Yi's eyes were filled with disgust and anger. "Such an evil cultivator has appeared in our Xiling Kingdom. Your Highness will never tolerate her and must completely eliminate her."

Hearing what the two said, Feng Aotian was terrified, fearing that they would start a fight, so he quickly asked for help from the tutor and dean of Xuanwu College.

"Dean, fellow instructors, I'm not lying. My current talent was awakened entirely on my own!"

Mu Qing asked her, "If you had nothing to hide, why did you fabricate lies from the beginning and mislead everyone into thinking that you and Yun Yuan were having an affair?"

Faced with the questioning, Feng Aotian seemed a little flustered, but still tried hard to defend himself.

"I was just too impatient at the time and didn't mean to deceive anyone." However, her explanation seemed weak and unconvincing.

"What exactly is your purpose in coming to Yun Yuan's room?" Ximen Yi condensed a ball of profound energy in his hands, staring at Feng Aotian fiercely, "If you dare to lie, I will kill you right now."

"I...I..." Feng Aotian stammered, "I came to Yun Yuan's room to discuss breaking off the engagement, and then I fainted after drinking only a cup of tea. When I woke up, I found that Yun Yuan was also unconscious. I was worried that she would catch a cold lying on the floor, so I carried her to the bed. I didn't expect that she would misunderstand after waking up, and she held my arm tightly, unwilling to let go..."

"You're lying." Yun Yuan pointed at the cup on the table and sneered, "It was clearly you who put the sleeping potion there. There must still be traces of it under your fingernails. Just let the elders test it and they'll know."

Hearing this, Feng Aotian subconsciously hid his left hand behind his back. When he realized what he had done, his body instantly stiffened.

Dong Lingchuan, who was standing aside, had a fierce look in his eyes and pressed her to the ground with his pressure again.

Feng Aotian could hardly breathe, and his bones felt like they were being crushed. The pain was so severe that tears came out, and his hatred for Yun Yuan deepened.

She had never suffered such humiliation in her previous life!

The pharmacy elder walked forward and carefully scraped off the powder remaining in the cracks of Feng Aotian's fingernails.

Then, in front of everyone, he took out the bottles and jars and began to examine them carefully. It didn't take long for him to come to a conclusion.

"It's a sleep drug. Only a dose the size of a fingernail is needed to make a person sleep for a whole day and night. During this time, no matter what happens, that person will not feel anything."

The pharmacist paused and continued, "This medicine is usually used as a numbing powder, so the dosage must be strictly controlled. Those of you present here should not use this powder lightly to joke with others. If you drug someone into a fool, you will be held responsible."

When everyone heard this, there was an uproar.

"Don't worry, Elder. We know the seriousness of the situation."

"Who would joke about this kind of medicine if it wasn't meant to harm people?"

"That's right, we are not children and we don't know the serious consequences of this matter."

The pharmacist continued to test the residue in the cup and nodded to the crowd with an affirmative look on his face.

"You can't go wrong. It's still a good night's sleep."

The Dean, who had been silent the entire time, now had a serious expression on his face and asked sternly, "Feng Aotian, at this point, do you have anything else to say?"

Cold sweat broke out on Feng Aotian's forehead and slid down her cheeks. She forced herself to calm down and tried to defend herself.

"Although I was the one who put the poison there, you can't conclude that I stole Yun Yuan's talent. I can explain."

She said, "Yun Yuan wanted to break off the engagement with me, and I was reluctant to do so, so I came up with this idea to make it a done deal with her. After all, a big family like ours values ​​these things very much. I thought of using this method to threaten Yun Yuan... Puff!"

Before she could finish her words, Feng Aotian was knocked out. After several consecutive severe blows, she lay on the ground and could not get up anymore.

"I... I'm not wrong." Feng Aotian remained stubborn despite the tragic situation. "I simply didn't do anything I didn't do. Don't even think about forcing me to confess."

She would rather break than bend. If anyone didn't know what happened, they would probably sympathize with her.

"You are still being stubborn even now." Ximen Yi wanted to strike again, but was stopped by Yun Yuan. She really wanted Feng Aotian to die, but now was not the time.

Although most of the people present now stood on her side, there were also a small number of people who looked pity when they saw Feng Aotian's miserable condition. This was not the result Yun Yuan wanted to see.

She had to produce solid evidence to hammer Feng Aotian to death once and for all, so that she would be nailed to the pillar of shame of evil cultivators for eternity and become the target of public criticism. She would have no choice but to hide and flee everywhere, with no chance of turning things around, let alone creating any so-called legend.

Just when she was thinking about how to stop Feng Aotian from making excuses, Dong Lingchuan said, "I know a way to check if the talent is yours."
