After hearing what happened, Wei Xiuran's gaze fell on Wang Qiubai. The cold look in her eyes made her feel a chill on her back and a shudder crept up on her. She had the illusion that she was being targeted by some powerful and dangerous being.
However, after the fear, she felt a strong sense of unwillingness and resentment.
Did Wei Xiuran just believe Xiao Jian's one-sided story and conclude that she was at fault? His attitude of defending Xue Huan was so obvious!
What was so good about Xue Huan? She was just a plain-looking, low-class person! Yes, she was indeed talented in the secondary skills of alchemy, talisman drawing, and formation formations, but so what?
Talent is just talent after all, it does not represent strength, and she is still far from reaching the level of a master.
Even if she reached the level of a master, wouldn't those alchemists (talisman masters, formation masters) of higher rank but ordinary origins still have to serve their families in the end? Would they become their dogs?
It was a great honor for her that Xue Huan was willing to take action against her. If she had any self-awareness, she should have just accepted death, but she had to keep jumping around!
Wei Xiuran took out a crystal-like stone and said to Wang Qiubai, "Since you don't want to swear the Heavenly Dao Oath, then use the Mantra Stone to test it. Put your hand on it."
The oath to Heaven is not a joke. Once it is spoken, it will be locked by Heaven. If you violate the oath, it will be fulfilled on the spot. Heaven will not give you the chance to regret or change your words.
Even those who claim to be open and honest would not dare to swear an oath to heaven easily. If they accidentally say something wrong, the consequences would be terrible.
Therefore, Wei Xiuran would not force Wang Qiubai to swear the Heavenly Oath to prove himself. However, there would be no need to worry about this when using the Mantra Stone. The Mantra Stone would only react accordingly based on what people said.
For example, if there are falsehoods in a person's words, the truth stone will turn black. The greater the proportion of lies in the words, the darker the black color of the truth stone will be.
Xue Huan looked at the truth stone and thought that this thing was much more advanced than the truth talisman and truth pill. She would get one if she had the chance.
Wang Qiubai refused in his heart, but under Wei Xiuran's gaze, he had to walk forward slowly. When he put his hand on the truth stone, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Maybe Wei Xiu Ran didn't ask the right question, so she could use some rhetoric to evade the question.
Unfortunately, her luck was soon dashed.
Wei Xiuran's first question was: "When did you lose your Purple Star Stone bracelet?"
Wang Qiubai moved her hand covering the Mantra Stone, but felt an extremely strong suction force holding her hand on it. She opened her mouth, but the words she said were completely different from what she wanted to say, as if there was a force controlling her.
"My purple star stone bracelet wasn't lost. I deliberately had someone put it in Xue Huan's pocket."
As soon as she said this, her plan to frame Xue Huan was confirmed.
However, no one present was too surprised. In fact, they had guessed the truth long before Xue Huan swore the Heavenly Oath and was not punished.
"Okay, you can take your hand back now." Wei Xiuran said lightly.
Wang Qiubai retracted his hand suddenly as if he was scalded, and looked at the person in front of him with a very complicated look of love and hate mixed in his eyes.
Wei Xiuran, however, seemed completely oblivious to her gaze, his expression unchanged as he announced, "Wang Qiubai has maliciously framed Xue Huan. He will be punished as follows: a school-wide reprimand and confinement for one month."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help but gasp, and the timid ones even let out a low cry.
The confinement room of Lingyao College is like a devil's cave in the eyes of students. They avoid it as much as possible. It is said that it is a completely enclosed place with very small space. It is difficult to turn around, let alone lie down to sleep. Once you go in, you can only sit down at most.
It was pitch black inside, you couldn't see your hand in front of you, and there was no sound at all. It could be said that once you went in, you would lose your five senses and become blind and deaf.
This feeling is really terrible.
Wang Qiubai screamed, "No! I don't want to be put in solitary confinement!"
Seeing that Wei Xiuran was indifferent, he begged again: "Teacher Wei, I was wrong, can you please forgive me?"
Wei Xiuran: "You shouldn't say this to me, but to the victim."
Wang Qiubai's heart was filled with hatred, but in order to avoid being put in solitary confinement, he had no choice but to bow his head. He slowly walked in front of Xue Huan and bowed deeply to her. "Xue Huan, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have framed you. Can you please forgive me?"
Listening to the voice, it was very sincere and heartfelt.
However, the face facing the ground was twisted and hideous, and his eyes were filled with deep hatred, which was a hatred that made him want to cut Xue Huan into pieces and drink her blood and eat her flesh.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one else could see, her face was filled with unbridled hatred.
The more sincere your words are, the deeper the hatred in your heart is.
She had no remorse at all, and the reason she apologized to Xue Huan was only because she was forced by the situation.
Xue Huan knew this very well and didn't want to play along, so she said bluntly, "You can pretend to be sorry, but it's my right to accept it or not. My answer remains the same as before: I do not accept your apology."
Xiao Jian silently gave Xue Huan a thumbs up. This was the right thing to do!
Wang Qiubai did something wrong, so why should Xue Huan forgive her just because she apologized? No!
Standing up, Wang Qiubai lowered his eyes and didn't look at Xue Huan again. She was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and would pounce on her and tear her apart.
"Teacher Wei, you've seen it too. I've deeply realized my mistake, but Xue Huan simply won't accept my apology."
Wei Xiuran: "It's her right to refuse to accept. Not every mistake is worthy of forgiveness. Besides, whether she forgives you or not, it won't change your punishment."
"Teacher Wei!" Wang Qiubai suddenly looked up, his eyes broken and his heart aching.
Wei Xiuran remained gentle and elegant, unmoved by her expression.
Xue Huan looked at him and suddenly felt that the gentleness and elegance displayed by Teacher Wei seemed to be just a mask he wore, and the real him was not revealed at all.
"Take her to the solitary confinement room." Wei Xiuran directly called the people from the Discipline Hall.
Li Yulong stood in front of Wang Qiubai and said, "You can't take her away!"
Seeing this, Xue Huan couldn't help but sigh. Although Li Yulong was not a good person, he was deeply in love with Wang Qiubai and could rush out to protect her at this time.
Unfortunately, as a bystander, she could see clearly that Wang Qiubai only treated her as a tool. He would just smile when he needed her, but wouldn't even glance at her when he didn't.
Wei Xiuran: "By the way, Li Yulong, I almost forgot if you hadn't come forward. You're also a suspect. Place your hand on the Truth Stone. I ask you, did you help Wang Qiubai frame Xue Huan?"
Li Yulong did not move. Wei Xiuran frowned and released a fierce aura from his body. The pressure from a high-level cultivator was released, and Li Yulong was instantly suppressed and his whole body sank, and his knees could not help but bend slightly.
Others also felt a sense of pressure, even though the pressure was not directed at them at all, they were just affected.
Under this pressure, Li Yulong was unable to move, as if he was trapped in place.
Wei Xiuran said to Li Kun who was standing behind him, "Put his hand up."
