From beginning to end, the little Crown Princess simply observed the scene with cold eyes. Now, seeing the female disciple lying on the ground, mouth slightly agape and struggling to breathe, she merely gave her a cold glance.

"Tianyun! It was Tianyun's people who brought the corpse puppet!" A Zhaoguang disciple drew the sword from her waist, pointing at the innocent-looking man in red, and shouted sharply, "Kill him! Kill this Tianyun hall master! He, he's the scoundrel causing trouble!"

Dugu Ling looked at the little Crown Princess pitifully, his face full of grievance. "Stoic, I truly didn't bring this."

"I swear, I just came to deliver a gift today. If I brought this ugly thing, may I be struck by five bolts of heavenly lightning immediately." Dugu Ling held up three fingers over his head, swearing righteously.

Qiao Mu gave him a cold glance, then shifted her gaze back to the Zhaoguang female disciple. "Guards, take them all down."

"This palace has changed her mind." These people repeatedly caused trouble at her residence. If she didn't deal with them publicly, then anyone would be able to cause trouble at her Qiao residence in the future, completely without any rules. Moreover, the acting was so fake and terrible, she truly had no interest in watching it continue.

She was not the type to explain things to others; such verbose matters were simply out of the question. Her orders were for immediate execution; she wouldn't waste another word with you.

"You, what do you want to do?" The Saintess of Zhaoguang grew anxious, staring warily at Xiao Ye and his group, who were closing in. "Don't you dare act recklessly, I'm warning you."

"Crown Princess, you really have been colluding with Tianyun all along!" the Saintess of Zhaoguang angrily accused. "Otherwise, why would Tianyun's Star Picking Hall Master come to the Qiao residence to deliver gifts for no reason? Tell us, explain it to everyone!"

"I see your relationship is quite good; could it be a deep personal friendship?!" The Saintess of Zhaoguang demanded sharply, her eyes beneath the veil appearing righteous and awe-inspiring.

Aunt Fei frowned, just about to say something, when the green-clad maid Han Su rushed forward, crying out, "Saintess, please, Saintess, take out the Sacred Fruit and save our suffering sister first!"

As soon as her words fell, the surrounding Zhaoguang disciples, like extras in a play, all knelt down in unison. They threw their iron hooks and weapons to the ground, forming a circle, and repeatedly kowtowed to the Saintess of Zhaoguang, shouting, "Please, Saintess, save our suffering brothers and sisters! Please, Saintess, save them!"

"Please, Saintess, save them!"

The assembled guests looked at each other, unsure what kind of play this was. Logically, the Zhaoguang female disciple on the ground, having been gnawed by the corpse puppet to such an extent, should be beyond hope. So why were all these people kneeling, begging their Saintess to save her?

Everyone knew that being bitten by a corpse puppet meant almost certain transformation into a monster; there was no way to save them. If there truly were medicine in the world that could save someone bitten by a corpse puppet, then these monsters wouldn't seem so terrifying.

However, they saw their Saintess, with a compassionate expression, her eyes calmly looking at everyone. She sighed, "My poor brothers and sisters of Zhaoguang, you have dedicated yourselves to the cause of eradicating corpse puppets and saving the world. As the Saintess of Zhaoguang, I will never let my brothers and sisters shed their blood or die in vain! As long as there's a glimmer of hope to save you, I am willing to do anything."
