Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 148 Begging for mercy
"Shen Mengwu, the evidence is irrefutable. Are you still trying to argue? You are wronged, which means I framed you."

"So many eyes are watching! Everyone will have their own opinion on what is right and wrong."

This was the first time Shen Mengwu had experienced such a thing. Her eyes widened. She was a little at a loss and subconsciously looked at Shen Fuyu. She didn't know what to do.

It's really like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, unable to express his pain.

It was clearly not her fault and she clearly had not done anything of the kind, but Shen Mengwu just didn't know how to explain herself.

No convincing evidence was produced.

Shen Fuyu took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, walked in front of Shen Mengwu, and protected her behind him without making a sound.

Shen Fuyu forced a smile, bowed respectfully to the black-faced guard, and spoke in a soft tone.

"Sir, Shen Mengwu is straightforward and would never do such a thing. Someone must have deliberately framed her."

Cheng Ziqi and Lu Mingtang, who were not far away, also stood up.

"I guarantee with my character that Shen Mengwu will never cheat. Please be discerning, sir."

"I am Lu Mingtang, and I guarantee with my integrity that Shen Mengwu will never cheat. Please be discerning, sir."

Cheng Ziqi and Lu Mingtang were well-known, so the black-faced guards had to retreat and avoid their attack.

Murong Yue in the corner clenched her fists and looked at Cheng Ziqi and Lu Mingtang with a look that seemed to be filled with poison.

damn it!
Cheng Ziqi and Lu Mingtang actually went against her for the Shen sisters.

Wait!
A bunch of bitches were all waiting for her.

Anyway, her face is ruined now and she can't take the imperial examination. She wants to destroy them all and turn them into bad people like her.

Murong Yue's cheeks were distorted, and the scars looked even more terrifying. She looked like a demon crawling out of hell. If a child saw her, they would be scared to tears.

Murong Yue winked at someone in the corner.

The examiner hurried over with a serious look on his face. It was obvious that the plagiarism scandal had reached his ears.

"Who cheated?"

"Examiner, I didn't cheat. Someone framed me. I didn't know there was writing on my sleeve."

Shen Mengwu straightened her back, bit her lips tightly, and had a stubborn expression.

She didn't cheat!
She had no idea why there were words on the sleeves.

"Facts speak louder than words, Shen Mengwu. You just keep denying it without any evidence to prove it."

"The exam is coming up soon. Please go back for now. We will investigate whether there was any cheating after the exam is over."

The examiner's method of answering questions makes sense. After all, we cannot delay so many students from taking the Tongsheng examination just for Shen Mengwu.

Shen Mengwu's tears suddenly flowed out.

A flood of resentment spread in her heart, and she didn't understand why things turned out like this.

Even though Shen Mengwu didn't have much expectations for the children's singing exam, after preparing for so many days, Shen Mengwu also wanted to test her own level and didn't want to be eliminated in disgrace.

The most important thing is that if the matter cannot be resolved now, it means that Shen Mengwu will have to bear the reputation of cheating for the rest of her life.

What’s the use even if the truth comes out in the future?
Everyone only knows that Shen Mengwu was kicked out on the day of the Tongsheng exam.

Shen Fuyu frowned, obviously understanding this.

Meng Yuan also stood out from the crowd and gave the examiner a flattering smile.

"Examiner, if there's any misunderstanding, it wouldn't be good to delay Shen Mengwu for nothing. How about letting Shen Mengwu take the exam first? If she really cheated, then cancel her exam results."

"Yes, yes, examiner, Shen Mengwu and I are classmates. Shen Mengwu is a little bit silly at best, but she has no other bad intentions." Shen Mengning said calmly, "Examiner, please be lenient and allow my sister to take the exam."

The classmates in the academy all pleaded for Shen Mengwu.

Mrs. Shen, who was standing aside and had no time to speak, was deeply moved by this scene.

It’s great that so many classmates are willing to speak up for Wu.

Murong Yue's chest heaved violently, and she was very angry at the academy classmates' pleading for mercy.

Why? Why?
When she was in the academy, everyone had a distant relationship with the Shen sisters. But in just a few days, everyone had such a good relationship with the Shen sisters!

Why did you stand up and speak for Shen Mengwu?

She didn't receive such treatment when she was in college.

An emotion called jealousy crept into Murong Yue's heart, and a trace of black energy lingered above her head, which she herself had not even noticed.

Shen Fuyu felt a surge of resentment, and subconsciously glanced around, and saw the red favorability in the corner at a glance.

As his cultivation level advanced, Shen Fuyu's five senses became much more sensitive than those of ordinary people, and he spotted Murong Yue in the corner at a glance.

is her!

Shen Fuyu's intuition told him that Murong Yue must be behind this.

Shen Fuyu's eyes flashed and he glanced at his sleeve secretly.

Sure enough, there are words!
His brain was working fast, and the clothes of Shen Fuyu and the Shen sisters were all taken care of by the maids in Shaohuayuan.

Because she was going to take the Tongsheng examination, Mrs. Shen specially asked someone to make new clothes for her.

The new clothes were just finished this morning.

Mrs. Shen took Shen Fuyu and the Shen sisters to the clothing store to change their clothes before coming to take the exam.

This means that the problem lies in the garment shop!
Shen Fuyu hid his figure backward for a while, and while no one was paying attention, he tried to use his spiritual energy to erase the cheat sheet on his sleeve. Shen Fuyu was not sure, but just tried it. Seeing the ink on his sleeve gradually fade and then disappear completely, Shen Fuyu breathed a sigh of relief with an imperceptible degree of relief.

Then, Shen Fuyu used the same method to check Shen Mengning's sleeves, and after confirming that there was a cheat sheet, he quietly erased it.

The examiner was stared at by so many students that he felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

After all, the people who pleaded for Shen Mengwu were all of high status and were very favored at home. If he said a few words casually, his family might make things difficult for him.

The dark-faced guard saw the examiner remain silent and spoke, "The evidence is irrefutable. You don't need to argue. But Shen Fuyu and Shen Mengning, you and Shen Mengwu are in cahoots. With such a close relationship, there's no guarantee you didn't cheat using the same method. To ensure fairness, I need to re-examine."

Without waiting for Shen Fuyu and Shen Mengning to speak, the black-faced guard forced his way forward to check, and coincidentally looked at the left cuff.

Yes.

Only the left sleeve contains the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics.

Shen Fuyu narrowed his eyes and let the black-faced guard finish checking. When he saw that the cuffs were clean without a trace of ink, the black-faced guard's face twisted and he couldn't believe it for a moment.

That's impossible. How could there be no cheat sheet?

Shen Fuyu keenly noticed the change in the dark-faced guard's mood, "Sir, I don't have any cheat sheets. Are you shocked? You can't believe it?"

"I'm just doing my job."

The black-faced guard's answer was irrelevant.

Shen Fuyu curled the corners of his lips but did not respond. He just stared at the black-faced guard, watching him skillfully check Shen Mengning's left cuff.
