All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

Unexpectedly, the other person wasn't there, so the two of them guessed that Nian Zhao had gone to the Holy Feather Kingdom and hurriedly went after him.

Yao Feibai suggested that they hand in the mission first, so the two went to the mission hall and took out the token given to them by Lin Yue'e, the current city lord of Hengyang.

It is a letter written in Lin Yue'e's own handwriting.

After completing the mission, the two returned to their cultivation and didn't dwell on the matter.

As for their master going out, neither of them ever thought that they were going to seek revenge.

The day after the two completed their mission, something happened at the Mission Hall.

They claimed that someone reported them, and that they mistakenly killed innocent people in order to complete their mission.

Duan Menghua was furious and rushed over, but no matter how she explained, she couldn't clear her name, and people kept contradicting her.

Moreover, they spoke with great conviction, as if they were the ones who had personally experienced it.

Yao Feibai sensed something was wrong and pulled the person back.

Duan Menghua felt extremely aggrieved. "Why did you pull me? Are you just going to let them slander us like that?"

"Then what's the point of explaining it to them? Will they even believe it?"

"So you mean we can't do anything?"

Yao Feibai shook his head, "Of course we have to do it. If we can't clear this stain after such a big label has been put on us, we can forget about living in the cultivation world in the future."

"Then what should we do now?"

"We should start this matter in Hengyang City. Let's contact Lin Yue'e first and see what the situation is on her end."

"Okay." Duan Menghua couldn't think of any better solutions, so she could only agree to the current one.

Yao Feibai thought for a moment, "Let's go find Feng Ning first, and think about it together. Maybe we can come up with a better solution."

The two didn't wait any longer and sent a message to Feng Ning before heading towards Xiaoyao Peak.

Feng Ning was also somewhat surprised when she received the message; she hadn't expected anyone to report this.

She quickly left the courtyard, activated the formation of Xiaoyao Peak, and the two of them flew directly in.

"Feng Ning, something's happened."

Feng Ning led the two towards her courtyard, saying, "Don't rush, tell me slowly."

Duan Menghua then explained the whole story with a mixture of anger and anxiety, and Yao Feibai added to it as needed.

After listening, Feng Ning also realized that something was wrong.

"What a coincidence!"

Yao Feibai laughed, "You think it's a coincidence too?"

Duan Menghua looked confused. "What coincidence?"

"There are so many missions in the Mission Hall. Putting aside whether there's a problem with our mission, even if there is, the mission you submitted yesterday has already been reported today. Don't you think there's something strange about this?"

"Yes! We are just ordinary disciples. Even if we are accepted as personal disciples, there are so many personal disciples. How could we be the ones targeted by someone so coincidentally?"

A cold glint flashed in Feng Ning's eyes, "Because they came here specifically for us."

After being reminded like that, Duan Menghua immediately realized what was going on, "Was it done by that hypocrite Gu Wenlang? I knew he was no good!"

Yao Feibai nodded, "He's certainly not a good person, but we need to handle these matters properly. Otherwise, if they really frame us, it won't be easy to clear our names later."

Feng Ning asked helplessly, "Is it that serious?"

Yao Feibai looked at her in surprise, "Do you think this is a small matter?"

His eyes were full of disapproval, more like a "If you say yes, I'm going to teach you a lesson" attitude.

Feng Ning rubbed her nose. "It's not a big deal. We can't control what they say. As long as we can prove that we didn't do anything wrong, isn't that enough?"

"not like this."

"Why?" Feng Ning didn't understand.

"According to the sect's rules, those who commit malicious slaughter will be expelled from the sect."

Feng Ning remained silent.

"That should be dealt with properly."

She herself didn't care, since she wasn't there to join a sect anyway, but the other three were different.

It was clear that Yao Feibai really wanted to stay in the sect, and Liu Yuanxiu even considered joining the sect as his life's goal. Duan Menghua didn't show such strong emotions, but when the topic of leaving the sect came up, there was still a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

She certainly wouldn't hold others back because of herself.

Therefore, this matter must be handled properly, and those who plotted behind it must be punished severely.

She smiled and said, "Don't panic, I have a plan."

Duan Menghua immediately perked up, "What method?"

Just as the group was about to speak, Feng Ning noticed that the protective formation of Xiaoyao Peak had been activated.

"Disciples of the Discipline Hall request an audience with the Fourth Elder."

Feng Ning shrugged. "There's no time to explain, they're already here."

She called out to the person next door, "Ye Yuan, you stay on Xiaoyao Peak, I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he turned to the other two and said, "Let's go, let's go meet them."

The two of them then followed her outside.

She raised her hand and activated the formation of Xiaoyao Peak, and saw four disciples standing outside, dressed in the robes of the Discipline Hall, holding weapons, and with serious expressions.

"Hello, fellow senior brothers."

The disciple standing at the head of the group asked, "Which one of you is Junior Sister Feng Ning?"

Feng Ning stepped forward. "That's me."

The man nodded to her. "I am Zhou Yan, a law enforcement disciple of the Discipline Hall. Someone has reported you for indiscriminately killing innocent people. Please come with us."

Feng Ning smiled. "They say I indiscriminately killed innocent people. Did I really do that? You're just going to take me away like this? Where's the evidence? I won't go with you unless you produce evidence, otherwise you'll ruin my reputation."

Zhou Yan frowned. "You'll know when you get there."

Feng Ning crossed her arms and said, "Who reported me? What evidence do they have? Who gave the order to arrest me? Which rule of the Discipline Hall tells you that you can arrest an elder's disciple and bring him to the Discipline Hall for questioning just because someone said something casually?"

They kept asking questions until they were all stunned.

Zhou Yan's face darkened. "Are you refusing to cooperate?"

Feng Ning raised an eyebrow. "I'll cooperate, but you should at least tell me what really happened. Do you think I have to leave just because you say so? Is the Discipline Hall something you can just decide to do? Does my senior uncle's word no longer matter?"

Upon hearing the words "Master Uncle," Zhou Yan immediately fell silent.

He was so blinded by his own desires that he forgot this junior sister was the Fourth Elder's personal disciple.

Even if a questioning is necessary, it should be conducted in a formal setting, with the elders and sect leader making the decision together.

His arrival this time was not ordered by the Elder of the Discipline Hall.

A flicker of panic crossed his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

Feng Ning naturally noticed the tension in his expression.

He smiled suddenly.

"Senior Brother Zhou, there's no need to be nervous. If there's anything you don't understand, go back and ask your eldest uncle. Come back after you've asked him."
