Just seeing that, the facial expression of the fourth master seemed to change; he looked a little bit not at ease.
"Masters, we found this on her bed," a disciple said, then he opened the box. Inside, there were pieces of money.
Bai Xiao Feng was surprised to see that while Bai Bingwen was stronger surprised. But the strongest surprised person was Gong Xun; moreover, he looked worried and angry; he threw irated eyes to his disciple and the boy put his face low in a manner of fear.
"It's my money," Yang Ying said.
"You still don't admit your mistake, do you?" Xu Jin Ling said.
"I told the truth. It's my money. They were tips that the guests at Wan Hua Lou gave me. I saved them."
"How do you prove it's yours?" Gao Zhang Shan said.
Yang Ying took the money out and showed to all masters, "All of them have a red dot in the middle. I was the one who drew the spot."
After checking all the money, they found the same as what she told.
"The red spot is not a type we use, so she doesn't lie," Gao Zhang Shan said to Bai Bingwen.
Hearing that, Gong Xun released his breath but at a low sound.
"This money is hers," Bai Bingwen claimed.
"So it means she is not wrong," Bai Xiao Feng said in a happy voice.
"Even though she was still a suspect because our sect has never met such a problem. She just came and the problem happened," Xu Jin Ling claimed.
"She is your disciple," Bai Xiao Feng said.
"Though she is in my palace, I won't take her side. She has to receive punishment if she does something wrong," Xu Jin Ling clarified.
"Then what is your suggestion?" Bai Bingwen said.
"I think she should be grounded in the east library until we catch the culprit," Xu Jin Ling stated.
"Is it too much?" Bai Xiao Feng said.
"It's not too much," Gong Xun said. "If she is really innocent, we can release her and clear her name later on."
Xu Jin Ling looked at her male junior. It was the first time that he agreed with her.
"Fine. Send her to the east library," Bai Bingwen stated.

It was not a pleasure to receive the accusation of stealing, but what could she do besides agree to accept this unfair treatment?
According to the draft trial, she had to stay in the library, clean it and organize books. She could not go further, and there would be people delivering meals to her.

Yang Ying looked around.
East library, nothing inside, only books.
It would be great if she could read all the letters, but unfortunately she was able to know a few, this caused her big boredom staying in the log.
"I don't like it," Yang Ying said, then she opened the door.
"Eh."
Before it, she saw a food basket on the floor.
"It's not meal time yet."
She looked and saw a guy just left.
Yang Ying felt that that guy was familiar so she went after him.
Under a tree, the girl perceived her fourth teacher and that chap were talking.
"How is it?" Gong Xun asked.
"I already put the basket in front of the door," the disciple said.
"Now, I want to hear your explanation."
"I'm sorry master. In fact, I followed your instruction by putting the blame on her that she stole my money, but I didn't expect she had money in her box."
It was a surprise to hear that. The young woman was in rage, immediately she yelled, "It's you who accused me of stealing."
The disciple was scared that his bad deed was found; however, his master protected him.
"You go," he said.
"Yes master," the disciple said and ran.
"Hey don't run," Yang Ying shouted and wanted to follow but Gong Xun blocked her.
"Why did you accuse me?" She yelled.
"Rude. I am your junior master," Gong Xun said.
"I don't care. You and your disciple framed me."
"Do you have proof?"
"Last moment I heard you and your disciple say that you told him to accuse me that I stole his money. You and your disciple are bad. I'll go tell the sect leader master."
Yang Ying walked with an angry face but her feet were halted by the narration.
"Getting out of the room at night is not allowed in the Left Palace."
The young lassie turned to look at her fourth master, "What do you want to say?"
"What you heard is what I said."
"Do you want to threaten me? I am not scared."
Gong Xun smirked. He moved his feet one by one towards the girl with lips opening to say, "You are not scared because you think if you deny, no one will be able to know that you got out."
Yang Ying was quiet. She really thought like that.
"But in the sect," Gong Xun continued, "there are a lot of sacred objects. Among them, there is one object. It can make you admit what you have done by yourself. Imagine. If your master finds out, what will she do to you?"
No need to imagine, for sure, since her master seemed to not like her, she would kick her out.
"If you are silent and agree to stay in the library, just a few days later you will be released."
Yang Ying narrowed her eyes watching at the elderly male.
"Decide by yourself." After speaking, he left.
It was hard to believe the man who had accused her, but because she had no choice, she had to accept to silent her lips and bear living in the old book shelter.
Three days later, the roommate of Yang Ying ran in, "You can leave now."
"Really?" Yang Ying opened eyes.
"Yes." Her roommate nodded. "The disciple of Right Palace found his money, so you are cleared from being a suspect."
It was happy news. Yang Ying jumped with joy.
Along the way to the palace, the elder female stated, "You know, yesterday, the devil sect attacked our sect at the front gate. Though it was a small fight, some of our sect's disciples were wounded."
Yang Ying narrowed her eyebrows, "The devil sect?"
"Um." The elder roommate wagged her head. "It is the enemy of our sect. They had not bothered us for many years. This time they came suddenly. Strange."
Yang Ying didn't understand but she didn't ask.
When she arrived at the training field, she met the woman from that night and her guess was right - she was her eldest senior named Lin Quo Ju.
Because Yang Ying was not even familiar with fighting arts before, she was unable to catch up; luckily, the eldest senior helped her, then she could do the correct pose.
Like the rumors, the eldest senior was so nice. Yang Ying was happy to learn with her.
At night, she asked her elder sisterhood if their sect had a sacred object which could make people say the truth, the girl said there was no such an object.
Hearing that, Yang Ying was angry. She swore to find justice for herself. Though she knew she was not smart like the junior master, she would not drop till she could peel his true face.
Yang Ying decided to start with her eldest senior and her man.
She guessed that her senior would go to meet her lover, so she sneaked after her.
When Guo Ju got into the hut, Yang Ying went to the same window and looked through it.
In the space, she saw her senior kissing her man passionately. After that they took off their cover clothes.
Yang Ying eyed the dresses. She saw the male's belt had a purple jade on it.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33PPFimQxH
Her roommate just told her that the jade belt was the symbol of the sect. Each palace had its color. Left Palace used green jade belt, Right Palace used blue-sky jade belt and Middle Palace used purple jade belt.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuC3V2hL0t
"He is a disciple of fifth master," Yang Ying whispered.
From the telling of the roommate, her master did not go along with the master of the Right Palace. If this male was from the Right Palace, she would be able to understand why they chose to hide their affection. But he was from the Middle Palace and the Middle Palace and the Left Palace didn't have any problem; if he loved her senior, why didn't he tell the masters?127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqbNr2zMkx
