Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

"I didn't steal it! I didn't take it!"

Xu Caiwei's face turned red, and she hurriedly explained.

"Heh, if you didn't take it, how did it end up in your Sumeru Ring? Are you trying to frame me?"

Zhu Cheng spoke coldly, saying directly, "Caught red-handed and still not confessing? Do you know that your crime is compounded?"

Tears welled up in Xu Caiwei's eyes. She was both anxious and aggrieved. She said, "It really wasn't me. I didn't take this manual. I don't know what happened..."

"What's going on here, making all this noise!"

At this moment, a cold, aged female voice came from behind. Everyone turned around and saw Elder Luo and Gong Jiuren walking over.

Disciples such as Luo Yu, Gu Xuan, and Qin Lin followed behind them.

"Reporting to the Dean and Elder Luo, Xu Caiwei has been caught red-handed stealing secret manuals from the Sutra Repository!"

Zhu Cheng presented the secret manual in his hand.

"Ah, they actually stole the secret manuals from the library. How shameless!"

Luo Yu's face immediately showed a look of disgust!

"She's going to get what's coming to her now."

Qin Lin was also gloating.

Gu Xuan frowned slightly, shook her head, but didn't say a word, only sighed softly!

Elder Luo took the book and glanced at it, his face already contorted with rage. He shouted, "How dare you! The Scripture Pavilion is such a sacred place. The secret manuals and treasures within are the very foundation of our Southern Heaven Academy. How dare you steal them!"

Zhu Cheng seized the opportunity to say, "Dean, Elders, according to the sect rules, stealing a secret manual should result in expulsion from the sect!"

Gong Jiuren gave Xu Caiwei a cold look and said, "Since she has violated the rules, then according to the sect's regulations, from today onwards, Xu Caiwei will be expelled from Nantian Academy!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Caiwei trembled violently, her face turned deathly pale, and tears streamed down her face.

"The weaker you are, the more injustice you will encounter. Only by being strong and resisting can you protect your own interests."

At that moment, Li Lan's voice rang in her mind!

Just as she was about to drown or fall off a cliff, she was suddenly pulled back by someone. She looked up and said, "Reporting to Dean Gong and elders, this disciple has something to say!"

Gong Jiuren glanced at her indifferently.

"According to the rules, before entering the Scripture Pavilion, disciples must hand over all spatial magical artifacts such as Sumeru Rings to Deacon Zhu Cheng for safekeeping. How could I have had the opportunity to steal a secret manual and put it in there, and Deacon Zhu Cheng was completely unaware until after I left?"

"This is a frame-up!"

She spoke loudly, her body trembling slightly.

Within Nantian Academy, she had always been an obedient disciple, doing whatever her elders said. Therefore, even when her merit in annihilating Taihua Academy's enemies and reclaiming the Lingyin mineral crystals was stolen, she didn't have the heart to confront them.

But now, she has been driven to the brink of death.

So, I finally broke through my previous limitations!

As expected, Zhu Cheng and Elder Luo were somewhat surprised by what she said.

Completely unexpected, she dared to resist, and Gong Jiuren also had a moment of contemplation on his face!

"Caught red-handed, still trying to deny it! Who is Deacon Zhu Cheng? Would he wrong a mere disciple like you?"

Elder Luo said coldly, "Dean, this woman shows no remorse and should be punished even more severely. She should be expelled from the academy and her cultivation should be abolished!"

Gong Jiuren hesitated for a moment. Although he knew that what Xu Caiwei said did make some sense and there seemed to be some doubts about the matter... but that was not important.

It's impossible for me to offend Elder Luo and the others for her sake.

After all, he is currently only the vice dean. Whether he can remove the title of vice dean in the future depends not only on the approval of the current dean, Yan Zhanyu, but most importantly on the support of the elders...

"That makes sense! Guards, strip Xu Caiwei of her cultivation and expel her from the academy!"

He gave the order directly!

The two cultivators beside her immediately made their move to capture Xu Caiwei.

But just as they approached Xu Caiwei by three steps, a scream suddenly rang out, and they were sent flying backward, crashing into Elder Luo and the others' feet, spitting out blood!

Everyone's expression changed drastically in an instant.
