"It's my fault. How dare I, a mere bird, dream of being friends with Junior Sister Zhao? I have kept this bracelet well all this time, but since Junior Sister Zhao is unwilling to exchange it, I will return this bracelet to Junior Sister Zhao today in the presence of all my fellow disciples. I only ask Junior Sister Zhao to return the things left by my widowed mother to me, which is also considered as..."

Sheng He's face was covered with tears, and his voice was also tinged with tears, looking very sad and pitiful: "It can be regarded as a remedy for my longing for mother!"

After Sheng He finished speaking, he bent down deeply, handed over the white jade bracelet with one hand, and spread out the other hand, looking very sincere.

In a corner where no one was paying attention, Sheng He quietly curled her lips. This tactic of retreating to advance was something she learned from Zhao Yanran.

The entire Discipline Department fell silent, as all the disciples here had more or less heard rumors about the new disciples.

It is said that there is a new disciple with five spiritual roots who is a relative of his own. Not only does he bully and rob his fellow disciples on the flying boat, but he also becomes a disciple of Elder Tianyu Jianfeng on his first day. When other disciples went to the Wendao Hall to receive training, this disciple went directly through the back door and left with the elder.

Among those who cultivate immortality, which one's strength is not gained through self-cultivation bit by bit? Therefore, they hate those who use backdoors the most.

But now it seems that the situation is different from the rumors?

Sheng He is seven years old this year, but he is a little shorter than other children of the same age, and his hair is dull and yellow. It is obvious that he is from a poor family.

Looking at Zhao Yanran again, she has fair skin and a tall figure, with all kinds of magical weapons hanging on her body and hands. It is said that she is from the Zhao family, a family of immortal cultivators.

Will such a person be bullied?

For a moment, the looks of everyone present towards Zhao Yanran changed.

Even Chu Heng frowned and looked at Zhao Yanran with a questioning look.

Only Mu Yao opened her eyes wide, her face full of disbelief.

She looked at Sheng He who was crying sadly, and then looked at her own hands, which were still stained with black ash from grilling the fish.

So, she must have seen it right, right?

Junior Sister Sheng He has always been with her, so it shouldn’t be possible that she has been possessed by someone else, right?

Then who can tell her who is the person who is pretending to be crying and acting pitiful?

Where is Junior Sister Mu Tou Sheng, who was practicing sword skills like crazy last night and became the best swordsman?

Mu Yao shook her head, then poured out a handful of Heart-Clearing Pills from the small porcelain bottle she carried with her and stuffed them into her mouth.

Hmm... she must have been confused and hallucinating because of practicing sword skills with her junior sister last night. She just needs to take a few pills to calm down and she'll be fine.

"Yanran, what is going on?"

Chu Heng lowered his head and looked at Zhao Yanran. Although his tone was inquiring, it was firm and tolerant of rejection.

Zhao Yanran opened her lips slightly, her face full of bewilderment, and she shook her head desperately: "Brother, I... I don't know..."

Chu Heng frowned deeply. Yesterday, his master told him that among the new disciples there was a boy with a single fire spiritual root, who had excellent aptitude and was compatible with him, so his master had decided to accept him as his last disciple.

The master brought Zhao Yanran back early this morning. Chu Heng saw that Zhao Yanran was well-behaved and sensible. He also heard about the bullying of Zhao Yanran on the flying boat. He originally felt very pity for his little sister.

But now that he saw Sheng He, he suddenly felt that he was too hasty. How could he accuse his fellow disciple of a crime based on just one side's words?

Chu Heng's eyes were filled with confusion. This kind of thing seemed to have never happened before...

There was no sound, so Sheng He raised his head and looked at Zhao Yanran sadly: "Junior Sister Zhao, if you have any prejudice against me, you can beat me or scold me, I only ask you to return the gift my mother gave me before she left."

"Junior Sister Yanran, why don't you return it to her? After all, it was a gift from my mother."

"Yes, Junior Sister Yanran, didn't you say you liked this bracelet very much? Now she has returned it to you, so don't worry about it."

"You cried so hard in front of us yesterday, I thought someone was really bold enough to do that. I didn't expect that you took someone else's things. If they are willing to exchange them, then just do it."

"That's right, are you using us as a cover to seize other people's things?"

Originally, when people heard that Zhao Yanran had become a disciple of Xuanxiao Immortal Venerable, they were quite polite to her. But with the example of Senior Brother Chu Heng, when they looked at Zhao Yanran again, they felt that Xuanxiao Immortal Venerable’s vision was really not that good.

Chu Heng naturally heard the contempt in the disciples' tones. Since this concerned his master's reputation, he absolutely could not let it go lightly.

Chu Heng frowned and asked sternly: "Yanran, what is going on? If you really took someone else's things, return them now!"

"I...I..." Zhao Yanran looked around in panic. If the torn hemp rope was still there, she could of course take it out on the spot. Maybe some disciples would be dissatisfied when they saw her exchanging the torn hemp rope for the bracelet and would speak up for her.

But the problem is, no one knows where Sheng He got that piece of hemp rope, and it has a foul smell. She threw it off the flying boat when no one was around that night. Where can she get another piece of hemp rope now?

Master Xuanxiao hasn't taught me the technique to create objects yet!

"System! System, what should I do? Why does Sheng He always ruin my plans?"

Zhao Yanran frantically called the system in her heart.

The system's voice was a little helpless: "I asked you to kill the heroine at the beginning, but you refused for the extra three times the points, and even said you wanted to trample the heroine into the mud..."

"Okay, let's not talk about the past anymore!" Zhao Yanran's voice was a little more exasperated, "Tell me how to solve this problem first!"

"The only solution now is for you to find a scapegoat to help you escape this disaster."

scapegoat?

She just joined Qingyun Sect yesterday, where could she find a scapegoat?

Zhao Yanran looked anxiously among the crowd.

Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure, it was Wu Yan!

Among the new disciples, only she and Wu Yan had successfully drawn the Qi into their bodies, which was why they came to the Discipline Department early in the morning to collect the spirit stones.

Although Wu Yan is a very obedient dog, the points gained by conquering Senior Brother Chu Heng are higher!

What’s the use of one hundred points if you can’t even exchange them for a Charm Pill?

Besides, didn't Wu Yan say yesterday that he wouldn't let anyone bully him? Now that he was in trouble, it was time for him to step forward.

Zhao Yanran's almond-shaped eyes were slightly moist, with a tear hanging from the corner of her eye. She looked pitiful. She just looked at Wu Yan like that, as if she had suffered a lot of injustice but dared not speak out.

Wu Yan had noticed this a long time ago. When he saw Junior Sister Yanran being bullied by Sheng He again, he wanted to rush forward and tell the truth immediately, but Junior Sister Yanran was surrounded by many senior brothers, who were all direct disciples and had superb cultivation.

And himself... he was just an inner disciple, how could he stand by Junior Sister Yanran's side?
