The Great Elder said nothing more and merely turned his gaze toward the Yuxu Sect Master, clearly wanting to see his stance.
The Yuxu Sect Master frowned slightly, glanced at the Great Elder, then waved a hand and said, "I believe Qin Ming didn't do it intentionally."
Then he glanced at Qin Ming and continued, "Don't let it happen again. Whatever you have to say, get on with it."
"Yes..." Qin Ming bowed in acknowledgment, then slowly descended the steps from beside the Sect Master, his gaze falling on Bai Binger.
Qin Ming discreetly rolled his eyes at her, then pointed at Bai Binger and declared, "Sect Master, elders, I suspect... Bai Binger is a spy for the Demonic Sect."
The Main Hall erupted into an uproar. Everyone's first reaction was, Has Qin Ming gone mad?
Bai Binger abruptly raised her head, her face deathly pale.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Bai Qianyue immediately stepped in front of Bai Binger like a hen protecting her chick. Staring coldly at him, she said, "Don't sling baseless accusations."
Qin Ming gave a cold smile, then said, "Whether my accusations are baseless will be clear enough if you ask that dear disciple of yours, won't it?"
Then he looked at Bai Binger, curled his lips upward, and said, "Let me ask you: were you with someone named Li Yichen at the time?"
"I... Li Yichen, he..."
Bai Binger had just begun to explain when Qin Ming interrupted her.
Qin Ming said coldly, "Just tell me... yes... or no."
"Yes." Bai Binger bit her lip and finally nodded.
A flash of delight immediately appeared in Qin Ming's eyes. You really are foolish and naive. I was actually worried you'd shake your head.
"Oh..." Everyone's gaze toward her changed, and even Yuxu frowned slightly.
