Ling Ling's face grew paler and paler. She dared not look Nan Qu in the eye, her eyes darting around as she tried to find some excuses to argue: "So what if you have these divine beasts? Your origins are still unknown. Who knows what you are up to infiltrating the Xuanjian Sect?"
Nan Qu, holding Xiao Bai, stepped forward and pressed on relentlessly: "My background? Since I joined the Xuanjian Sect, I have always acted uprightly and honestly. Every competition I have participated in has been fair and aboveboard. On the other hand, you have used some underhanded means to bypass the selection and directly enter the finals. You even tried to suppress me with these fabricated charges so that you could smoothly take the position of the eldest disciple. Your thoughts are much more unpredictable than mine, aren't they?"
After hearing Nan Qu's words, the people around looked at Ling Ling with more scrutiny and suspicion. The doubts they had about Nan Qu because of Ling Ling's words gradually dissipated.
The Xuanjian Sect Master frowned slightly as he looked at the situation and said, "Ling Ling, if you really have a reason, you might as well explain it now, and stop making things worse."
Ling Ling was in a panic. She knew she was in a very unfavorable situation, but revealing the secret of her rebirth would only bring disaster upon herself. She gritted her teeth, knelt down with a thud, and cried, "Sect Master, I... I just wanted to prove myself and contribute to the sect, so I was eager to find fault with Dongfang Shuanglan. I was indeed impulsive. I hope you will forgive me, Sect Master."
Nan Qu snorted coldly: "Now you know you're wrong? Your previous malicious slander can't be forgiven with just a word of impulsiveness."
Ling Ling raised her head, her eyes filled with hatred as she glanced at Nan Qu, then quickly lowered her head and pleaded with the sect leader, "Sect leader, I will definitely reform myself in the future. I hope the sect leader will give me a chance."
The sect leader of Xuanjian Sect sighed slightly, his expression full of disappointment: "Fine, considering that this is your first offense and your attitude of admitting your mistake is quite sincere, I will be lenient this time. I will punish you by sending you to the Cliff of Repentance to reflect on your mistakes for three months."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Murong Lin also cupped his hands and said, "It seems that today's events were caused by the recklessness of my Beast Taming Sect. I have offended you all and hope that the Xuanjian Sect will forgive me. I will return to my sect now to thoroughly investigate this matter. Farewell."
