"Rumor also says that the reason you passed the trial is because of the Beast Taming Secret Technique. Although Qiu Yongcheng passed the trial, he was unexpectedly injured by the Palace Guardian Beast Soul for this reason." Tan Yu continued.
Only then did Han Yan understand what was going on. These rumors weren't entirely baseless. At least attributing Qiu Yongcheng's matter to her was not wrong at all.
With a slight shift in thoughts, Han Yan guessed who spread the rumor. Apart from Jiang Qiling, others probably wouldn't have such insight, nor any need to tarnish her reputation.
As for why others avoided her like the plague, there was no need to think much. Just on her first day entering the academy, she had harmed a mentor. Even though her feud with the Qiu family was well known, the academy mentors, united against a common enemy, couldn't possibly treat her kindly. The younger disciples wouldn't dare associate with her either.
