"Of course not!" Feng Aotian emphasized: "But this is not because I admit that I am a woman and I am giving it back to you, but because I want to draw a clear line between us."

Yun Yuan snorted disdainfully. She was probably the only one who believed these words. It was really just making things more obvious.

She took out a pen from her space ring, then wrote an IOU in a very eloquent manner and asked Feng Aotian to put his fingerprint on it.

"Everyone present here can testify that when you return the cultivation resources to me, I will tear up this IOU. Otherwise, don't blame me for asking my clan to come after your Feng family."

The Yun family provides Feng Aotian with cultivation resources every month. In the past, it was Yun Yuan’s mother who provided them. Later, when her mother passed away, the resources were provided by Yun Yuan herself.

After eighteen years of accumulation and investment, this amount of cultivation resources has become an astonishing figure. Even a large family like the Yun family cannot turn a blind eye to such a huge loss.

"Okay." Feng Aotian was in a dilemma and pressed the handprint with gritted teeth.

Everyone sighed. They were not fools. They were certain that Feng Aotian was a woman and were very disdainful of her previous behavior.

"Just now she was trying to slander Yun Yuan's innocence. A woman, aren't you afraid of getting your tongue tangled when you say such things?"

"What's the point of talking about fun? It's really shameless."

"This person has been telling lies since the beginning. She must be here to covet Yun Yuan's talent."

"I don't believe it's such a coincidence. Yun Yuan just lost her talent, and she awakened the same talent as Yun Yuan before. The talents of the two people just happened to be swapped."

Dong Lingchuan looked at Feng Aotian expressionlessly, and said in a cold tone: "It is unjust to replace someone's talent. In order to avoid similar situations in the future, I think Feng Aotian should be executed immediately."

"I agree with this proposal." Ximen Yi's eyes were filled with disgust and anger. "Such an evil practitioner has appeared in our Xiling country. Your Highness will never tolerate it. She must be completely eliminated."

Hearing what the two said, Feng Aotian was terrified, fearing that the two would start a fight, so he quickly asked for help from the tutor and dean of Xuanwu College.

"Dean, fellow teachers, I really didn't lie. My current talent was awakened entirely by myself!"

Mu Qing asked her, "If you didn't have a guilty conscience, why did you make up a lie from the beginning and mislead everyone into thinking that you and Yun Yuan were having an affair?"

Faced with the questioning, Feng Aotian seemed a little flustered, but still tried hard to defend himself.

"I was just too impatient at the time and didn't mean to deceive anyone." However, her explanation seemed weak and unconvincing.

"What is your purpose in coming to Yun Yuan's room?" Ximen Yi condensed a ball of mysterious energy in his hand, staring at Feng Aotian with a sharp gaze, "If you dare to lie, I will kill you now."

“I…I…” Feng Aotian stammered, “I came to Yun Yuan’s room to discuss breaking off the engagement, and then I passed out after drinking only a cup of tea. When I woke up, I found that Yun Yuan was also unconscious. I was worried that she would catch a cold lying on the floor, so I carried her to the bed. I didn’t expect that she would misunderstand after waking up, and she held my arm tightly and didn’t want to let go…”

"You're lying." Yun Yuan pointed to the cup on the table and sneered, "It was obviously you who put the sleeping potion there. There must still be some of it in your fingernails. We'll know once the elders check it out."

Hearing this, Feng Aotian subconsciously hid his left hand behind his back. When he realized what he had done, his body instantly stiffened.

Dong Lingchuan, who was standing aside, had a fierce look in his eyes and pressed her to the ground with his intimidation again.

Feng Aotian could hardly breathe, and his bones felt like they were being crushed. The pain was so severe that tears came out, and his hatred for Yun Yuan deepened.

She had never suffered such humiliation in her previous life!

The pharmacy elder walked forward and carefully scraped off the remaining powder from Feng Aotian's fingernails.

Then, in front of everyone, he took out the bottles and cans and began to examine them carefully. It didn't take him long to come to a conclusion.

"It's a sleep drug. Only a dose as small as a fingernail is needed to make a person sleep for a whole day and night. During this time, no matter what happens, that person will not feel anything."

The pharmacist paused for a moment and continued, "This drug is usually used as a numbing powder, so the dosage must be strictly controlled. Those of you present should not use this powder to joke with others lightly. If you drug someone into becoming a fool, you will be responsible."

When everyone heard this, there was an uproar.

"Don't worry, elder. We know the seriousness of the situation."

"Who would joke with people about this kind of medicine if it wasn't to harm them?"

"That's right. We are not children. We don't know the serious consequences of this matter."

The pharmacy elder continued to test the residue in the cup and nodded to the crowd with an affirmative look on his face.

"You can't go wrong. It's still a sleepy night."

The Dean, who had been silent all this time, now had a serious expression on his face and asked sternly, "Feng Aotian, at this point, do you have anything else to say?"

Cold sweat broke out on Feng Aotian's forehead and slid down her cheeks. She forced herself to calm down and tried to defend herself.

"Although I put the drug there, you can't conclude that I stole Yun Yuan's talent. I can explain it."

She said, "Yun Yuan wanted to break off the engagement with me, and I was reluctant to let her go, so I came up with this idea to make it a done deal with her. After all, a big family like ours values ​​these things very much. I thought of using this method to threaten Yun Yuan... Puff!"

Before she could finish her words, Feng Aotian was knocked away. After several consecutive severe blows, she lay on the ground and could not get up anymore.

"I... I'm not wrong." Feng Aotian remained stubborn despite the tragic situation: "I just didn't do anything I didn't do. Don't even think about forcing me to confess."

She would rather break than bend. If anyone didn't know what happened, they would probably sympathize with her.

"You are still being stubborn even now." Ximen Yi wanted to strike again, but was stopped by Yun Yuan. She really wanted Feng Aotian to die, but now was not the right time.

Although most of the people present now stood on her side, there were also a small number of people who showed pity when they saw Feng Aotian’s miserable condition. This was not the result that Yun Yuan wanted to see.

She had to produce solid evidence to hammer Feng Aotian to death once and for all, so that she would be nailed to the pillar of shame of evil cultivators for eternity and become the target of public criticism. She would have no choice but to hide and flee everywhere, with no chance of turning over, let alone creating any so-called legend.

Just when she was thinking about what method she could use to prevent Feng Aotian from making excuses, Dong Lingchuan said, "I know a way to check whether the talent is yours."
