Yan Qin pointed at me and said to the counselor, "Teacher, Han Congxue is engaging in feudal superstition in the dormitory!"

The counselor frowned and walked to my side, asking, "Han Congxue, what are you doing?"

I didn't expect Yan Qin to pull this move, so I furrowed my brows and slowly said, "Teacher, I, I was just burning paper for fun."

Before the counselor could speak, Yan Qin shouted, "Burning paper for fun? You were burning talismans, right! Han Congxue, I've always suspected something was off about you. Teacher, Han Congxue has been talking to me about buying lives and ghost weddings these days. I suspect she's engaging in feudal superstition to deceive people!"

Upon hearing Yan Qin's words, the counselor's face darkened. "Han Congxue, what do you mean by telling Yan Qin these things?"

I turned to the counselor and said, "Teacher, I was just telling Yan Qin a story. It was wrong of me to burn paper in the dormitory, I won't do it again next time. I'm sorry, teacher."

The counselor obviously didn't believe my nonsense and said sternly, "Telling stories? You're already an adult, why tell stories? Han Congxue, what exactly are you up to?"

Yan Qin chimed in proudly, "Teacher, don't listen to her nonsense. She's been talking about old lecherous ghosts and unlucky ghosts these days, not telling stories at all. Besides, what kind of story involves burning talismans? Teacher, Han Congxue's dad is a swindler who practices fortune-telling, she must have learned from him to deceive classmates for money. She even tricked me into giving her a red envelope before!"

After hearing Yan Qin's words, the counselor's expression turned even uglier.

Seeing Yan Qin's smug look, I couldn't help but find it amusing.

This guy really goes to great lengths to set me up. Since you're not showing any mercy, don't blame me for not being righteous.

I pretended to panic, "Teacher, I didn't deceive anyone. Let me tell the truth now. Yes, my dad does practice fortune-telling, and he taught me some ways to ward off evil spirits. Today, I was burning paper here to help Yan Qin ward off evil spirits."

Hearing my explanation, Yan Qin's expression instantly changed, "Help me ward off evil spirits? What's wrong with me that I need you to ward off evil spirits for me?"

I smiled mysteriously, "You were screaming in the middle of the night yesterday, clearly possessed by a ghost. I'm not making this up. Teacher, if you don't believe me, ask the classmates around us. The commotion was so loud yesterday, they must have heard it!"

Several classmates had already gathered outside our dormitory to watch the commotion. Upon hearing my words, the counselor scanned the crowd and focused on Song Qing from the neighboring dormitory.

"Song Qing, tell me, what did you hear last night?"

Song Qing was suddenly asked and hesitated, stuttering, "Teacher, I, I..."

The counselor's eyes narrowed, "Tell the truth, did you hear any noise last night?"

Song Qing bit her lip, blushing, and after a moment of hesitation, she nodded, "Teacher, I did hear Yan Qin scream last night..."

Yan Qin widened her eyes, "What are you talking about? I didn't scream at all!"

Before Song Qing could respond, other classmates chimed in, "I heard it too, I thought you guys were watching a horror movie, the scream was terrifying."

"Yes, I heard it too, it scared me awake as soon as I fell asleep."

"I heard it as well, very frightening. Could Yan Qin really have been possessed by a ghost?"

Yan Qin blushed, opened her mouth for a while before saying, "What ghost possession? I, I just had a nightmare!"

Then she turned the accusation towards me, "Han Congxue, you tricked me into giving you a red envelope before! Saying it was some nonsense money for buying lives. I know your family isn't well-off, if you can't afford to eat, just tell me, I'll treat you. But you can't deceive people with feudal superstition! Teacher, I suggest expelling this liar Han Congxue, don't let her harm other students!"

Hearing this, the counselor's gaze fell on me again.

I smirked, "Yan Qin, since you've said that, I won't hide it anymore. Teacher, Yan Qin did give me a red envelope, but it wasn't for buying lives, it was hush money."
