The next day, Tianning was awakened by the noise outside.
She got out of bed and saw a stiff white fox corpse on the ground, already dead. It was the culprit that had led her into her dream last night.
A thoughtful reminder came to her mind: Originally, twenty-four hours would have taken two days, but someone had obviously activated a killing curse, causing Xiao Qiu's death prematurely. This was probably a conspiracy deliberately set up by the mastermind behind it!
Tianning was not alarmed; the identity of the culprit would soon be revealed.
Soon, someone outside forcibly pushed open the door and barged in.
The newcomer was none other than Wenren Xue's former master—Qin Mingcheng. The scene outside was somewhat chaotic, as the people from Tianliang Mountain had arrived uninvited. Zong Zhenglun, the eldest disciple of Tianliang Mountain, was leading the group and shouting, "Our junior sister's contracted beast has gone missing! A disciple saw the white fox being taken away by Tianning! During the competition, she actually attacked the contracted beasts of other disciples. Today, Tianning must come out and explain!"
Fu Hongming and his fellow disciples tried to stop them, but Qin Mingcheng, as an elder with the cultivation of the Nascent Soul stage, had somehow managed to push open Tian Ning's door when they weren't paying attention.
The white fox's corpse on the ground was imbued with demonic energy, while at the entrance of the courtyard, Wenren Xue, who had lost her contracted beast, was summoning the sect leader, elders, and a group of disciples. As she stepped into the courtyard, she happened to see the situation inside Tianning's room.
The girl on the couch yawned lazily, completely ignoring Qin Mingcheng's reprimand:
"Tianning! The evidence and witnesses are all there, what else do you have to say in your defense?!"
"Xiao Qiu!" Wenren Xue cried out and lunged at the white fox's corpse, looking extremely heartbroken.
If the sword spirits saw Wenren Xue like this, they would definitely roll their eyes to the heavens. Without her, this fox spirit might have lived a few more hours.
Because the white fox's corpse was imbued with demonic energy, Qin Mingcheng stopped Wenren Xue from rushing forward and comforted her, "Xue'er, don't be too sad. He's gone. Even if an ascended senior came, it would be useless now. Don't be too sad. Our most important task now is to catch the culprit!"
"Master, I don't understand... Xiao Qiu is still just a child!" Wenren Xue cried uncontrollably in Qin Mingcheng's arms. "Tian Ning hates me, so she comes after me, but why did she attack Xiao Qiu?!"
Among the onlookers were members of the Beast Taming Sect, who were inevitably moved by the scene.
For the Beast Taming Sect, contracted beasts are like family members.
A member of the Beast Taming Clan remarked, "This matter... Tian Ning's actions are unethical, aren't they?"
"Do you have a brain? Do you have your own judgment?" Xiao Roushu, who was mixed in with the crowd, was the first to stand up. During the team competition, she was either eliminated by the three sects or did not meet Tian Ning, but this did not stop her from having great respect for Tian Ning.
Especially the comeback victory in the first team match and the team's unity in the second team match made Tian Ning's image even more impressive in Xiao Roushu's heart!
She had long surpassed her father, who had been trying to persuade her with great care!
Everyone thinks Tianning is a jerk, but when you stand on the same side as Tianning, the joy you feel is unimaginable.
After all, who doesn't like to win without effort?
Xiao Roushu: "I just casually threw a dead spirit beast in your yard, and you're the culprit?"
Many people came to watch the spectacle. Upon hearing the name Tian Ning, a group of people followed the sect leader over eagerly.
During the competition, everyone was on edge, working hard to repair their chains, so it was a rare treat to see such excitement.
People expressed different opinions on this.
The Body Tempering Clan member, always eager for drama, remarked, "Flies don't land on eggs without cracks. Maybe Tian Ning and Wenren Xue aren't exactly good people behind the scenes."
A disciple of the Dan Ding Sect said, "It's really hard to say what will happen when Tian Ning goes crazy..."
