My best friend asked me if I was still doing system tasks.

"You really know how to turn the tables! Let's settle this score!" Nan Huachao said fiercely. She knew she was impulsive, but the situation made it impossible for her to calm down!

The elders all knew that the three newcomers had problems, and now that she had caught them red-handed, she naturally wanted to use this as an excuse to eliminate this hidden danger as soon as possible.

"So many spirit beasts wouldn't have a good impression of humans for no reason. If it were so easy to gain the favor of spirit beasts, we beast tamers would be everywhere by now."

Nan Huachao pressed on, "Explain yourself! What kind of strange methods do you have, or what kind of evil techniques have you practiced?"

Ruan Chayan glanced at the silent Third Elder Sun Yu, and she immediately understood who this elder trusted.

Ruan Chayan gritted her teeth and refused to budge an inch: "If I had really cultivated some evil technique, why would Daoist Yuchen have brought me into the Shiren Sect in the first place?"

Even if you don't believe me, you should at least believe the judgment of Daoist Yu Chen and the elders of each peak!

Do you think I, with only the Nascent Soul Realm, can pull any tricks under the noses of a group of Deity Transformation Realm elders?

On the contrary, it was you who attacked your fellow disciples so casually. How could you be a senior sister like that?

Sun Yu spoke up at the right moment: "Ruan Chayan, Hua Chao did act impulsively in this matter, but we beast tamers value our spirit beasts more than our own lives. When our spirit beasts suddenly express affection for someone else, no one can remain calm."

However, what you said makes sense.

"It seems we should let the elders of the Discipline Hall investigate this matter. We should find the root of the problem, shouldn't we? We can't let you continue to disrupt the order of the Moon Heart Bridge like this."

Ruan Chayan's heart tightened, but she maintained a polite smile: "Since the elder has said so, how can this disciple disobey?"

The Third Elder immediately took out a communication jade slip to explain the situation. Nan Huachao, not giving up, asked with a smile, "Before the disciples from the Discipline Hall arrive, I would like to ask you something. I wonder if Junior Sister Ruan would be willing to answer my questions?"

Ruan Chayan bowed and said, "Of course, I will answer all your questions without reservation."

Nan Huachao sneered: "Junior Sister Ruan has only just entered the sect, how did she know how to break the Spirit Binding Rope of our Shiren Sect?"

Ruan Chayan was prepared: "Naturally, I saw it on the bamboo slips used for entry."

This was all thanks to Luo Hanying telling her that the bamboo slip contained the rules of the Shiren Sect. She had been studying the bamboo slip whenever she returned to her cave at night recently, and happened to come across the relevant content.

Nan Huachao snorted and said with a smile, "Junior sister is really eager to learn. That bamboo slip is even thicker than our 'Xie Ran Beast-Carrying Manual'. You don't study the 'Beast-Carrying Manual', but you are very concerned about the affairs of our sect."

Ruan Chayan rolled her eyes inwardly, pretending not to understand her meaning, and said respectfully, "I can't compare to Senior Sister's talent, so I can only make up for my shortcomings by learning and observing more."

Nan Huachao glanced sideways at Ruan Chayan, deciding not to argue with her, but resentfully thinking that Ruan Chayan was really sharp-tongued.

The atmosphere on Ruan Chayan's side was tense, while things were relatively calm on Luo Hanying's side. However, this peace was destined to be broken.

Today was archery class again, and Ye Yuxiang, as before, instructed Luo Hanying in archery.

Luo Hanying wiped her sweaty forehead, only to hear Ruan Chayan say in her mind: "Xiaoxue, listen to me, calm down, don't make a fuss."

I'm about to be searched by the elders at the Discipline Hall because my cultivation technique caused the spirit beasts to react, which attracted their attention. I don't know what they'll find out.

If they believe I have a problem, they'll definitely investigate you too. Just say you don't know anything and that's it, clear your name.

"Junior Sister Luo, Junior Sister Luo?" Ye Yuxiang called her patiently, "What are you thinking about? Did you remember everything I just said?"

Luo Hanying stared intently at Ye Yuxiang as she nodded, her mind racing with thoughts of what to do and how to resolve Ruan Chayan's current predicament.

Luo Hanying blushed slightly with nervousness. She said playfully, "Senior Sister Ye, you practice with the senior brothers and sisters first. I'll digest this by myself. I'll practice more and come to you if I don't understand something."

Ye Yuxiang had just opened her mouth when Luo Hanying hurriedly urged, "Go, go! I'm afraid I won't be able to learn all that you're saying at once. What if I forget it?"

Ye Yuxiang nodded and said, "Alright, then you must come find me after you've finished practicing."

Luo Hanying nodded haphazardly, already chatting with Ruan Chayan in her mind: ["You... I don't understand, why do you want to search me? Why do you think there's something wrong with me?"]

"Can they find out what kind of cultivation technique you practice?"

"I don't know, how would I know what methods they would use to investigate?"

Ruan Chayan was very anxious, but dared not show it too much, lest the elders and disciples in front discover her guilty conscience. ["It seems that the Shiren Sect is very taboo about this kind of thing. There is a guy named Nan Huachao who would like to arrest me and hang me up to beat me!"]

String Song has really given me a hot potato! Why didn't it explain clearly what taboos beast tamers should have in the first place?

"If I had known this would happen, why would I have come to the Moon Heart Bridge? I would have just walked right into the line of fire."

"Where did that damned String Song go?! It's all its fault! You told us all these things back then, and now it's disappeared!"

Luo Hanying was so anxious that her arrow missed its target. She kept chattering in her mind while trying to calm herself and appear normal. [“You can’t control yourself right now?”]

"That's precisely the problem! If I cultivated to the point where I could control my power at will, why would I let myself be like a giant cake, smelling delicious wherever I go?"

Ruan Chayan stepped into the Discipline Hall in despair. ["I'm doomed, I'm doomed. I'm in the Discipline Hall now."]

She quickly added, "I'll call you if anything happens. Don't come looking for me now, so they don't think you're a bad person either."

Luo Hanying bit her lower lip and responded with a sound of agreement. Her mind was a mess. The incident happened so suddenly that she couldn't think of any way to help Ruan Chayan hide her cultivation technique.

Now we can only pray that Shiren Sect doesn't have the means to find out.

Ruan Chayan followed several elders into the Discipline Hall. She awkwardly tucked her hair behind her ears, waiting for them to speak first.

"Ruan Chayan, right?" Tao Man circled around Ruan Chayan a few times and said, "I've heard everything from Elder Sun and Nan Huachao. Tell me, why do all the spirit beasts like you so much?"

Ruan Chayan bowed and said, "This disciple truly knows nothing about this matter."

On my way here, I was thinking about this. Maybe this is something I was born with?

"This disciple has always been very popular with spirit beasts."

As Ruan Chayan finished speaking, those who heard her couldn't help but chuckle.
