Everyone was stunned, not understanding why she would do such a thing.

"They are innocent!"

"What's the point of doing this? Now that we know the truth, all we should do is try our best to salvage what can be salvaged. Even if they are fake people created by the secret realm, we shouldn't hurt them like this..."

"Tianning, you saw this place before everyone else. Perhaps you have other ideas? Can you tell us why?"

...

From not understanding to wanting an answer from her.

A rational mentor did not blindly blame the student.

They had at least seen this girl in two team matches, and in fact, she had absolutely no reason to bring everyone here.

It's unclear when exactly, but the six disciples of the sect have developed a level of trust in Tianning that even they themselves haven't noticed.

Although she occasionally goes crazy and is incomprehensible, she has been incredibly reliable and has saved everyone!

Just as everyone was beginning to waver, a discordant voice emerged.

"Don't believe her, everyone!"

It was Wenren Xue.

Even though she didn't know Tian Ning's purpose, Wenren Xue didn't let go of this opportunity to severely damage Tian Ning.

She gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, her heart pounding as she believed she had seized the best opportunity to bring down the Lady of Destiny: "Don't you understand why we're using such cruel methods? Tian Ning has formed a pact with the Demon Sword!"

"She must be under the influence of the demonic sword!"

This sudden outburst shocked the audience outside the stadium.

"Wenren Xue, are you crazy?! She doesn't even have any demonic energy on her, how could you say that during the competition!"

"Please, you haven't even cleared your own name!"

"Why don't you talk about the crimes you committed? We're all here watching to see if Tian Ning is guilty or not."

...

Unlike her initial reaction upon learning the truth, Wenren Xue's attempt to shift the blame was far too obvious. How could Tian Ning's current state resemble being controlled by the Demon Sword? It was utter nonsense!

However, they knew that things would definitely get out of control because of Wenren Xue's words!

Wenren Xue didn't understand how long these people had known Tian Ning.

Why are they all siding with Tianning? Is the female lead's halo really that terrifying?

But so what? That's a demonic sword. Are these righteous people really not afraid of Tian Ning?!

Wenren Xue comforted herself.

But when she met Tian Ning's indifferent eyes, she felt inexplicably uneasy. Why wasn't she afraid?

Long Aotian had long been eager to roll up his sleeves and beat someone up.

What else can Wenren Xue do all day long besides causing trouble for her junior sister?

Tian Ning spoke up: "Wenren Xue, I've seen firsthand how selfish and self-serving you are, and how you disregard the bigger picture."

"You should be glad you still have some dignity for a while. I don't have time to deal with you right now."

Wenren Xue: "I'm doing this for everyone's sake..."

"I don't have time to list all the consequences of your ignorant behavior, but from now on, shut up and listen!"

Tian Ning rarely acted so seriously. The little girl put on a stern face and said earnestly, "I believe everyone knows that the glory of the Xuanyuan family lasted for more than a hundred years. The ancestor Xuanyuan was able to achieve this level of success without the world's knowledge, and even five thousand years later, the truth was not discovered. Why would such a cautious person allow his painstakingly built family to fall into demonic possession overnight and be wiped out?"

"The Floating Fruit ripening ceremony being held up there right now was something that Ancestor Xuanyuan had already done countless times."

One of the disciples said, "Perhaps there was an accidental mistake in the ritual, a mistake in some part, which led to the demon's fall?"

Another mentor added, "That's right! And nobody can predict what might happen. Just take an example, like us, a variable..."

The speaker may have meant no harm, but the listener took it to heart.

Xu Jiaojiao was stunned. She murmured repeatedly, "We... are such... variables?"
