Chapter 396 Black Material as a Shield
The two females returned empty-handed and came back the next day.

Their expressions turned sour when they visited this time.

They looked at Jiang Qin with suspicion. "Miss Jiang, are you sure you haven't learned any methods of mental attack?"

"No, isn't my resume transparent? I've never attended school a single day. All the knowledge I've acquired comes from publicly available online courses on the StarNet."

That's true. They checked repeatedly, but only found those results.

But a large part of Jiang Qin's childhood is blank.

Who can guarantee that she didn't have some kind of extraordinary encounter back then? Maybe she really did learn it?

Despite their suspicions, they lacked evidence and therefore refrained from further questioning. Instead, they asked with grave expressions, "Do you know that Lina's mental sea has rioted again?"

"do not know."

The two were speechless at her straightforward and frank answer.

"Yesterday, her mental sea had been cleared up by the seniors, but for some reason, it suddenly went into turmoil last night."

Right now, her mind was in turmoil, like a raging storm; the pain was so intense she was writhing in agony, and only after receiving an injection could she calm down.

Upon hearing about the other party's miserable condition, Jiang Qin remained unmoved.

"I'm not a doctor, so there's nothing I can do."

She had a clear conscience. Although she did possess mental attack abilities, those were the use of supernatural powers.

This time she did not attack Lina; it was merely a passive counterattack.

For talents above S-rank, each level represents a huge gap, and Lina's attacks posed absolutely no threat to her.

But for Lina, it was a different story.

The two females sighed. "Because of Lina, the Angry Serpent Clan is very angry now."

Please don't travel to remote planets or anything like that recently. We'll handle the communication with them from now on.

"Hmm." Jiang Qin didn't have any intention of fighting to the death.

Anyway, Lina has already harmed herself and others.

...

Two days later, she heard that Lina's mental state had stabilized, but she had indeed suffered.

For a long time, she was unable to use her mental power without restraint.

In the end, Jiang Qin got the result she wanted: compensation and a public apology.

I heard that the Female Protection Association made a deal with the Angry Serpent Clan.

In exchange for inviting an SS-class female to help Lina manage her mental energy, Lina was asked to apologize to Jiang Qin and pay compensation.

Jiang Qin understood the outcome.

It seems they figured something out, which is why they didn't choose to just brush her off.

Of course, they also didn't want to lose Lina.

In the following days, Qi Yi continued to take them on a trip on Nightlife Star as planned. As for Lina, it was said that she had been taken back to the Myriad Races to recuperate.

However, a grudge has indeed been formed.

When she apologized that day, Jiang Qin clearly saw the resentment and bitterness in her eyes.

She weakly apologized, paid a hefty price in compensation, and posted an apology video and response regarding the unauthorized use of mental attacks on the StarNet. The Female Protection Association, citing federal law, sentenced her to appease three thousand people under the association's arrangement.

However, she can be given a suspended sentence, which will be carried out after her mental state has recovered.

As a result, she probably won't have any free time for many years, and her mental energy will be constantly depleted.

This is not good news for Lina, or for her maternal and paternal families.

But there's nothing we can do; the people who analyze interstellar space are all watching, and no matter what they do, they won't make any rash moves at this time.

It was at this time that a lot of scandals about celebrities suddenly appeared on the entire StarNet.

Even Cang Hong and Jiang Qin have them.

The photo of Hei Canghong is blurry; in it, he is looking down and talking to a female.

So the photo looks very much like they're about to kiss.

Jiang Qin naturally didn't believe it, but netizens, especially the Federation people, were in an uproar.

[What?! The little lion actually dared to betray Qinbao?!]
[Although I don't know if this picture is real, the distance is definitely a bit excessive. I'm disappointed in him.]
[A man who lacks male virtue, I suggest Qinbao dump him and marry me!]
[That's right, the line of males wanting to become Qinbao's partner stretches from the Federation to the Empire. How could she possibly lack males?]

If this one isn't behaving properly, then let's move on to the next well-behaved one.
[No way, are the ginger fans still going crazy here? Wake up, your Qinbao's reputation has already collapsed.]
[Hehe, does "collapsed building" refer to a bunch of messy pictures?]
[Besides, most of us are fans of Jiang Qin's career; we admire her numerous and varied works. Who cares about her private life?]
[That woman named Lina has real power; she managed to gather so much dirt on her to suppress her popularity, even targeting the victims.]
[No wonder the internet was suddenly flooded with negative news, some true, some false. Turns out it was all to protect a certain family's daughter.]
[Please be careful what you say on StarNet, lest you provoke the vengeful heart of a certain heiress.]
...

Although many people are rational, there is also a lot of truth in the rumors, so most netizens online today feel like the sky has fallen.

My idol, whom I've supported for years, had his image collapse overnight.

Because Jiang Qin was going to be away for more than half a month, Cang Hong took on a long-term job, which was a rare opportunity.

As soon as I got online, I saw a lot of negative comments.

His homepage was flooded with comments from fans of ginger.

Of course, he didn't blame these fans, after all, they were fighting for their idol.

What angered him was that they actually believed such a fabricated story and even asked him to leave Jiang Qin on his own.

Cang Hong can live without a career, but he cannot live without Jiang Qin!

So he immediately clarified the situation, and to make it more convincing, he even secretly begged Yuan Ling.

I asked him to extract a screenshot from the video of the time when this picture appeared.

Only after proving his innocence on the StarNet did he call Jiang Qin and cry.

"Qinqin, you don't believe those fake pictures, right?"

In the holographic projection, Cang Hong's eyes were red-rimmed, and he looked at her with a pitiful expression.

Jiang Qin realized that she was not someone who could resist temptation, and immediately felt sorry for her.

So she didn't tease him and nodded firmly, "Yes, I believe you."

"Waaaaah~ I knew Qinqin was different from them, they just couldn't understand the feelings between us!!"
This slander is absolutely vicious!

"Yes, that's too vicious. They actually tried to sow discord between us."

Cang Hong nodded in agreement and reasonably suspected, "It must be that vicious female named Lina who wants to take revenge on us, so she deliberately made up this lie."

"It's okay, your brothers stood up for you."

As for how she vented her anger, Jiang Qin didn't say, but Cang Hong decided to secretly ask her later.
