Slap in the Face

What is happening?

Helian Weiwei's eyebrows remained relaxed as the situation unfolded. Helian Jiao'er approached her, holding her hand with a sad expression. "Big sister, you've really gotten into a huge mess this time!"

"Trouble? What's happened to me?" Helian Weiwei smiled mischievously, eager to see what Helian Jiao'er was up to.

"Right after you entered the forbidden area of the Spirit Realm Forest, news spread about the prince of the cat clan being hunted down and killed. Big sister, there's no way such a coincidence exists in this world. Are you still going to deny it?" Helian Jiao'er's gaze turned cold, her face filled with unyielding hatred.

Helian Weiwei stroked her chin, a sly grin forming on her lips. "Are you suggesting that I am the one who hunted and killed the prince of the Cat Clan?"

"If it's not you, then who else could it be!" Helian Mei joined the conversation, her eyes filled with malice. "We all returned with the team, except for you. You were the only one who went somewhere else! Big sister, I always thought you were shameless, but I never expected you to be so cruel!"

Helian Weiwei was about to respond when Jing Wu Hopeless interrupted with a hint of anger, "Helian Weiwei, do you still intend to argue? If the accusations are true, it doesn't matter who your master is. The Bai Ze clan has already arrived, and even if the old man wanted to protect you, it wouldn't help. Do you understand the severity of your crimes?" It's a capital offense!"

Helian Weiwei looked at Jing Wu Hopeless playfully. She realized that because he, as the interim dean, couldn't solve the problem, he pushed her forward as a scapegoat. He knew she had entered the Spirit Realm Forest and would never come out. The masterminds behind all of this were him and Helian Jiao'er.

Initially, she only suspected Helian Jiao'er, but upon closer consideration, even if Helian Jiao'er was powerful, she was just a freshman. Only someone who had access to the academy could replace the map while everyone was unconscious. And that person could be none other than Jing Wu Hopeless.

Now, he and Helian Jiao'er were playing good cop, bad cop, hoping to force her into submission and confession.

The prince of the cat clan? It was just a coincidence. She had just received information about it.

Helian Weiwei smiled cunningly, her mind sharp. Helian Jiao'er, fearing any unexpected turn of events, shed tears as she looked at her with grievance. "Big sister, since I entered the academy, I've tried my best to defend your reputation. But this time, I'm truly helpless. I never thought you would be this kind of person."

Upon hearing Helian Jiao'er's words, the guards raised their spears with an "Oh" sound, creating an intimidating scene. But Helian Weiwei remained calm, slowly curling the corners of her mouth. "Sisters, you have accused me from the start of being the murderer of the cat clan's prince, without even giving me a chance to explain. So now, let me ask you, if I am not the one who hunted down and killed the prince, how do you plan to apologize this time? Will you slap yourselves a few more times?"

"You!" Helian Mei, always quick-tempered, couldn't wait to have the guards from the cat tribe take this woman away!

Helian Jiao'er, on the other hand, displayed a higher level of composure. Tears of grievance filled her eyes as she turned her head with righteousness. "Master, I know I misunderstood my elder sister before, which is why she remains so fearless. This time, I won't say anything further. The Bai Ze clan is present, and they know the truth in their hearts."

Jing Wu Hopeless seemed to have lost hope in Helian Weiwei. He closed his eyes heavily, waving his tired hand dismissively. "Helian Weiwei, as your master, I can no longer control a scoundrel like you. If you still have any conscience, leave the mountain with the chief guard of the Bai Ze clan and spare your senior brothers and sisters."

"Master Jing is right. One person should take responsibility. Helian Weiwei, if you still consider yourself part of the Helian family, don't bring disgrace upon the Helian bloodline!"

"She's absolutely right! Don't waste any more time on this deceitful woman!"

The accusations came flooding in from all directions, threatening to engulf Helian Weiwei completely. However, she merely tilted her head, adjusted her collar, and smiled wickedly. "Master Jing, everyone knows that I'm a useless individual, devoid of any martial energy. How could I have the ability to chase and kill a prince of the cat clan? As a martial arts expert, you must be aware of this! And as the interim dean of the academy, you baselessly poured dirty accusations on me without conducting the slightest investigation. Your actions are hardly just!"

She then turned to the Zhang and Li families standing behind her. "In the past, my grandfather fought countless battles, leaving behind a legacy that brought you current glory. And what have you done in return? You all wished for my demise."

"Helian Weiwei!" Jing Wu Hopeless, whose deception had been exposed, roared in anger. "I have always treated you well, yet you frame me like this. It's an outright act of disobedience!"

Helian Weiwei raised her eyebrows mischievously. "Framed? Master Jing, you haven't presented a shred of evidence from the beginning to prove that I am the one who hunted down and killed the prince of the Cat Clan. If anyone is guilty of framing, it is you."

"Master, don't waste any more words on her. This rebellious girl doesn't appreciate your kindness!" Helian Mei interjected. "She has always been cunning and never does anything good. If she wants evidence, does she have any evidence to prove her own innocence? Moreover, we all returned from the Spirit Realm Forest, following the map's guidance, while she acted suspiciously. She's clearly involved in something shady!"

Upon hearing this, Helian Weiwei suddenly curled her lips. "Sister, who told you that I have no evidence to prove my innocence?"

"What?!" Helian Mei was dumbfounded.

Even Helian Jiao'er's smug smile froze upon hearing those words.

It couldn't be. She couldn't possibly have evidence to prove her innocence!

They had dared to accuse her because they believed they had everything under control within the academy. Even if the masters suspected something, they would remain silent and certainly not testify for this "slut"!

So, where did the evidence she mentioned come from?

"Xiaobai, come out," Helian Weiwei said in a soft but chilling voice. "Come out and reveal the real truth to them."
