This story has been rehearsed by these two countless times already, naturally they wouldnât mess it up. Couple this with their distasteful expression, everyone around quickly fell victim to their words.
âWhat?!â Huo Yun looked shocked on the face as she cupped her mouth like sheâs just heard the most incredible thing. Slightly shaky in her body to add weight, those eyes are unabatingly disgusted, âYou⦠how could you do such a thing. Your sect must be ashamed of you!â
Many among the crowd had started to exclaim as well. In that instant, just about everyone near Bai Yanâs location had pushed backwards like sheâs some sort of scourge and would taint them as well just by being close.
Dragony didnât take this well at all when watching their negative outlook. Almost beat red from the unabated anger she felt, the little missy was ready to lash out and tear off the maidâs mouth when a hand reached over to stop her.
âPrinceâ¦â Looking aggrieved in the face, the young lady didnât forget to shoot a vicious glare over to the maid while speaking.
Unlike his friend here, Bai Xiachen didnât get flustered at all. In fact, his foxy eyes were looking rather amused like heâs scheming a plan of his own. âDonât be so impulsive Dragony, just wait and watch.â
These people want to frame Mother? They shouldâve confirmed what sort of background we have first!
âYou just said I bribed a disciple? Then I like to ask where that individual is. Why donât you call him out to attest to your story?â Donning a shallow smile, Bai Yanâs face locks eyes with Huo Yun despite the maid being the one thatâs calling out.
Too dumb to realize her own doom was coming, the ignorant lady actually signaled her own maid to step forward! âSir Liu, can you please come out to testify? Such a woman should not be allowed to tarnish the sanctity of the Holy Land.â
In that moment, a young man donning a charismatic smile had come walking down from the main stage. âOriginally I didnât want to say more in this matter, after all, itâs too disgraceful for everyone thatâs involved.â The man known as Liu Han steps out to speak in a righteous way that left many unable to doubt those words, âBut⦠since this maid has the courage to step forward for justice, I of course will also come out to testify!â
Slowly but surely, Liu Hanâs eyes had fallen upon Bai Yanâs face where he began to openly frown: âLady, I know you are not talented and is anxious to be selected, but I, Liu Han, am not going to do something so underhanded by selling out my own conscience! I like to ask you to leave of your own volition less I get someone to do so in your stead!â Thereâs hardly any smile left on the surface, in fact its now stern and angry.
âThis uncle.â Out of nowhere a milky and childish voice cuts in, causing the already frowning Liu Han to look down where his eyes discovered the little steambun at the front.
âUncle, did your mother not teach you lying is bad and will make your future miserable!â
Liu Hanâs face promptly changed for the worse. Turning ugly: âNo wonder the mother has that kind of virtue, this child is so rude. I guess what they say is true, the apple doesnât fall far from the tree.â
The little steambun didnât get angry though, only deepening his smile like a cunning fox. âUncle, Iâm only giving you a kind reminder that bad people will get a miserable fate if they lie. If one is not lying then naturally the idea wouldnât apply to them. What are you being so afraid of?â Though smiling brightly on that face, itâs somehow scary and frightening, âAlso, you are vilifying my mother while in front of a young child, yet I still remain polite and call you an uncle, so who is the uneducated one here?â
