Below at this moment.
After the dean briefly explained the situation, he asked the Ninth Elder to send out the location and used his spiritual power to project the image of the silver snake's corpse.
"Who is responsible for this position? Come forward." The dean took a look, then glanced at the ten people with a serious expression. "If you admit your mistake yourself, you can get a lighter punishment. If you insist on waiting for us to find evidence before admitting your mistake, it's more than just a simple punishment."
"Not me."
"It's not me either."
“That’s not the place I’m going.”
The people in front were all shaking their heads, all breathing a sigh of relief.
Bai Suning was in a trance.
Looking at the familiar big tree and the location of the silver snake, my head was buzzing.
Isn't this where she picked the silver grass?
"No one admits it?" The dean spoke again, his voice deeper.
"Dean!" Bai Suning stood up.
Seeing her come out, the dean's heart skipped a beat. He pursed his lips and asked calmly, "Go ahead."
"Are there two similar places in the entire blockade area?" Bai Suning asked tentatively. Her intuition told her that this was most likely a trap.
The dean's heart was pounding, and he felt a little nervous: "No."
Bai Suning was silent.
She was now almost certain that she had been fucked.
"What's wrong?" The Ninth Elder pressed on. He already had some issues with Bai Suning, and now he pressed on even more. "Have you been to this place?"
"This is where I did my mission," Bai Suning admitted frankly, her expression calm and composed, without a flicker or a veiled expression. "But when I was doing my mission, there was a sign next to me that clearly stated that the silver snake was an illusion. After I attacked it, it turned into a cloud of mist and dissipated, not a corpse."
"Nonsense." The Ninth Elder didn't care whether she was one of the Venerable's followers or not. Now that he had finally caught her by the hair, he naturally had to give her a lecture. "If this was an illusion, would there be a corpse here?"
Bai Suning did not answer again.
This was either Jun Yunyan's prank or Fang Ye's.
The only people she offended were these two.
"You mean, this is different from the scene after you completed the task?" The dean wanted to make excuses for her and was biased towards her when asking questions.
Bai Suning nodded and answered clearly: "Yes."
The dean pretended to be hesitant, obviously wondering what was going on.
Others were not happy.
The dean spoke so righteously just now, and everyone knew that he would take it seriously. But now that this person was Bai Suning, he hesitated.
"Dean, you can't just listen to Bai Suning's one-sided statement on this matter."
"She must have known that there were only a few of them, and she deliberately admitted it because she wanted to find out as soon as possible. What she said just now might just be an excuse to clear herself."
"that is!"
Bai Suning: "..."
Are these people mentally retarded?
The dean was in a bit of a dilemma at this time. He naturally believed what Bai Suning said, but now he had to produce evidence.
"this……"
"Dean, let me put it this way. The evidence shows that Bai Suning killed the Silver Snake, but she herself denies it." The Ninth Elder gave his opinion, which seemed to be no problem. "Why not lock her up in a small dark room first? Once we find evidence, we can convict her or release her."
Hearing this, the dean rolled his eyes at him.
That look clearly said what a bad idea you came up with!
The Ninth Elder pretended not to understand and continued to ask in a voice that all the students could hear: "What do you think?"
"First... let's do this." The dean couldn't refuse. If he didn't agree, it would seem like he was biased. "Take Bai Suning to the small dark room and lock her up. The Third Elder will be responsible for investigating the truth of this matter."
The third elder looked at Bai Suning with a hint of worry in his eyes, but did not say anything.
Bai Suning saw that the dean's concern had caused him to make a mistake, so she spoke again: "Wait!"
Everyone looked at her.
The dean, hoping for a turnaround, immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
"Just now, the Ninth Elder said that there is evidence proving that I killed the Silver Snake. I want to ask, what evidence proves that?" Bai Suning asked back. Her white face was calm and indifferent, and her questions were logical and analytical.
The Ninth Elder refused to acknowledge her reasoning, thinking she was being unreasonable. "Do I need to explain this? You were the one who completed that mission, and you yourself admitted that you killed the Silver Snake. Isn't that obvious?"
"How is it obvious?" Bai Suning continued to ask. She was not stupid. "I admitted that I killed the silver snake created by the illusion and took the silver grass within a quarter of an hour. But when I left, the silver snake hadn't reappeared, and that place was empty. What does it have to do with me?"
"You are quibbling!" The Ninth Elder pointed at her. He didn't expect her to be so eloquent.
Bai Suning stood there calmly without answering him.
The dean was on her side and naturally hoped that she could explain the situation clearly: "Go on."
"There's no evidence to prove I killed the silver snake." Bai Suning's voice was clear and crisp, and every word was distinct. "It can only be proved that the snake was killed by someone and finally appeared at the place where I was doing the mission."
"You keep saying that you didn't kill it. How can you prove that you have nothing to do with this snake?" The Ninth Elder continued to make things difficult.
Bai Suning smiled.
Her smile left everyone else confused.
"Since you said so, then I would like to ask, if I say that you killed this snake, what proof do you have that you didn't kill it?" Bai Suning asked back, without any sign of anger.
Ninth Elder: “…”
The Ninth Elder was completely confused by what she said. He frowned and said angrily, "This is your business, don't bring me into this!"
"I'm just giving you an example. Finding out that I killed the silver snake requires evidence." Bai Suning is not a fool. She didn't let herself be locked up in a small dark room in a daze. "Instead of asking me to find evidence to prove that I didn't kill it, if you insist on me finding it, then let all the students in the academy look for it. Treat everyone equally."
After hearing these words, the Ninth Elder was angry.
He never expected that this girl was so sharp-tongued and had so many tricks up her sleeve.
"you……"
"Alright, she's right." The dean truly believed her point, his furrowed brow expressing his inner annoyance. "To convict someone, you need to provide evidence to prove she made a mistake, not ask her to find proof that she didn't."
"Dean...you..." The Ninth Elder looked embarrassed.
If we just convict Bai Suning directly, wouldn't that be giving him trouble?
He was here on a mission, how could she not have killed him?
"The subsequent investigation requires your cooperation. I don't want to see anyone not cooperating." The dean said this in conclusion, and the matter came to a temporary end.
