"Elder Gong, no matter what, since your disciple committed a betrayal, she must be punished accordingly."

Ye Wanwan shook her head minutely. "Master, someone is purely trying to frame me on purpose. I didn't defect from the academy at all."
"Hmph, what an enormous joke! Say, why would I, an instructor of Scarlet Flames, frame a tiny D-rank mercenary like you?" Zhang Da glanced at Ye Wanwan derisively.
