"Quiet!"
As the crowd grew increasingly agitated, the Sect Master had to step forward and quell the uproar.
His expression was unreadable, and his gaze on Li Rao was far from friendly.
It wasn't just the disciples; even he believed Li Rao had deliberately framed her. After all, everyone knew Ye Chuxue would give the Elixir Pills to her fellow disciples to consume.
Besides, Song Wanning was known for her petty and calculating nature, so it wasn't surprising that she would be behind something like this.
But the difficult part now was how to make Li Rao confess. They couldn't just beat a confession out of her, could they?
If they did, Song Wanning would surely raise hell after she came out of seclusion.
After running through his options, the Sect Master immediately tossed the problem to Gu Qingyuan.
'No matter what, Song Wanning would give Gu Qingyuan some face. It's been over half a year; surely her anger has subsided by now.'
