The Emperor's Favorite: The Useless and Crazy Concubine Who Conquers the World

She squatted down and observed the footprints carefully, and found that their shape and aura were different from those of the immortals in the divine world.

"Look, these footprints were not left by people from my divine world. It is obvious that someone deliberately framed me, placed this broken artifact near my fairy palace, and then left these false clues to mislead everyone." Lan Yunyan stood up and said to everyone.

Fairy Zi Ling said disdainfully, "Can you prove your innocence with these? Perhaps you forged them on purpose to escape responsibility."

Lan Yunyan smiled faintly, ignoring Fairy Zi Ling's questioning. She continued to follow the unfamiliar spiritual energy fluctuations, and everyone had no choice but to follow her.

Along the way, Lan Yunyan carefully observed everything around her, not missing any possible clues.

Finally, in a quiet bamboo forest, she discovered a hidden formation.

This formation exuded a faint dark aura. Lan Yunyan's heart moved, and she knew that she was getting closer and closer to the truth.

She carefully cracked the formation, and as it did, a dark shadow emerged from it. Everyone looked closely and saw that it was a fairy who had been corrupted by the power of darkness.

"Tell me, did you frame me?" Lan Yunyan asked the little fairy angrily.

Xiaoxian was terrified, and under Lan Yunyan's questioning, he finally told the truth.

It turned out that Fairy Zi Ling was jealous of Lan Yunyan's status in the God Realm and her special relationship with Ling Xiu Han, so she secretly instructed the little fairy to steal the artifact, damage it and place it near Lan Yunyan's fairy palace, and forged those clues in an attempt to ruin Lan Yunyan's reputation.

The truth was revealed, and everyone turned their attention to Fairy Zi Ling. Fairy Zi Ling's face turned pale. She didn't expect that her conspiracy would be exposed so easily.

"Fairy Zi Ling, you are a fairy from the divine realm, but you did such a sinister and cunning thing. It really disgraces the name of our divine realm." A highly respected fairy reprimanded sternly.

Fairy Zi Ling fell to her knees and pleaded bitterly, "I know I was wrong. I was just confused for a moment, and jealousy clouded my mind. Please forgive me this time."

Lan Yunyan took light steps and slowly walked up to Fairy Zi Ling. There was a hint of coldness and disdain in her eyes.

"Fairy Zi Ling, your 'hard work' really opens my eyes." Lan Yunyan opened her red lips slightly, but her voice was as sharp as an ice knife.

Fairy Zi Ling raised her head, tears still lingering in her eyes, and tried to make one last effort. "Lan Yunyan, I... I really know I was wrong. Please be magnanimous and forgive me."

Lan Yunyan scoffed softly, "Forgive? Do you think this is just a child's play? Jealousy has engendered evil thoughts in your heart, deliberately framing me and nearly causing me to bear the eternal infamy of betraying the divine realm.

Have you ever thought about what the consequences would be if I couldn't prove my innocence today?"

Fairy Zi Ling stammered, but was speechless for a moment.

Lan Yunyan continued, “You keep saying that because I’m hanging out with people from the Demon Realm, I’m being corrupted by the power of darkness and that I’m betraying the God Realm.

What about you? You, for your own selfish desires, colluded with the forces of darkness, ordering the little fairies corrupted by darkness to do your bidding. What does that mean? Aren't your actions even more despicable and dangerous than mine?

After hearing Lan Yunyan's words, the fairies and immortals around nodded and cast contemptuous glances at Fairy Zi Ling.

Fairy Zi Ling's face turned pale and blue, and she argued, "I... I was just blinded by jealousy. I didn't really want to hurt the God Realm."

Lan Yunyan sneered, "You didn't intend to harm the God Realm? Then how do you explain this broken artifact? This is a sacred object from my God Realm. To frame me, you didn't hesitate to damage the sacred object and disturb the peace of the God Realm.

Don't think you can get away with it by looking so pitiful. What you've done has already violated the righteous way of God."

After saying this, Lan Yunyan's spiritual power surged slightly, and a light flashed in her hand, and a water mirror appeared.

"Today, I will let everyone see the ugly face behind your hypocritical appearance."

Lan Yunyan injected her spiritual power into the water mirror, and scenes of the secret plot between Fairy Zi Ling and the Dark Fairy began to emerge on the mirror. From her jealous eyes, to the process of instructing the fairy to steal the artifact, to every detail of the forged clues, everything was clearly displayed before everyone.

When Fairy Zi Ling saw the scene in the water mirror, her face instantly turned as pale as paper. She was terrified and wanted to destroy the water mirror, but Lan Yunyan waved her sleeve lightly, and a burst of divine power pushed her back.

"What else do you have to say?" Lan Yunyan put away the water mirror and looked at Fairy Zi Ling with cold eyes.

Fairy Zi Ling slumped on the ground, knowing that she had no room for excuses. She could only lower her head in despair and wait for everyone's judgment.

Lan Yunyan turned around, facing the fairies and immortals, and slowly said, "Everyone, today's events serve as a warning. We in the divine realm should uphold justice and stick to the right path. We must not go astray due to jealousy, hatred, or other selfish desires.

Such sinister and cunning individuals must not be tolerated, otherwise the God Realm will be plunged into endless strife and chaos in the future."

All the immortals nodded, expressing their agreement with Lan Yunyan's words.

Lan Yunyan looked at Fairy Zi Ling again, "Fairy Zi Ling, you have made such a big mistake, I will not forgive you easily.

But considering that you have contributed to the divine world, I will give you a chance. You can go to the place of divine punishment on your own and undergo a thousand years of reflection and purification.

A thousand years from now, if you can truly repent and cleanse the darkness from your body, you can return to the divine realm."

A trace of resentment flashed across Fairy Zi Ling's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by despair. She knew that this was the lightest punishment Lan Yunyan could give her, so she had no choice but to stand up silently and fly towards the land of divine punishment.

Lan Yunyan watched Fairy Zi Ling's retreating figure and sighed inwardly. She knew full well that beneath the surface of peace in the divine realm lay many disputes and contradictions.

But she firmly believed that as long as she adhered to the right path and upheld justice, she would be able to protect this sacred territory and the friendship between her and Ling Xiu Han that transcended boundaries.
