In other words, she believes the Holy Land wouldnât judge a person based purely on someone elseâs claim alone.
Smiling at the meaning behind that, Bai Yanâs beauty at this moment could blind everyoneâs sight if she tried. If not for the fact that her identity was beyond their reach, many of the males wouldâve loved to pursue such a woman!
âMy words are the truth,â Cheng Wei snickers sinisterly and leaked his true nature. âBesides, it wasnât just me who saw what she did, thereâs others around as well when that happened. Am I right everyone?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Those who followed Cheng Wei didnât expect to be dragged into this situation, but now that theyâre being put up to it, they couldnât exactly deny it either. Nodding with one another to push themselves forward: âYes, this evil woman is the worst! She is afraid of Sir Cheng Weiâs strength and the likelihood of him taking away her resources due to his exceptional talent, thatâs why he attacked him.â
One comment here, another accusation there, all of the lies are pointing towards Feng Luan being the perpetrator. Even so, the proud girl never defended herself even once, only showing a calm face like thereâs no waves at all in the heart.
Cheng Wei himself didnât care about anything else, he only wants to know what Bai Yan was going to do next because he couldnât read her at all. Nevertheless, the insult and shame he felt from the rejection pushed him to a level of beyond help: âMiss, do you know she is the former queen of the Feng Qi Kingdom? Andâ¦. she also pursued Lan Xiaoling for a time, only to be rejected by him at the end.â
Likely wanting to gloat before the very person heâs trying to ruin with that sly comment, Cheng Wei promptly turned to face the person herself. Sure enough, he could finally see panic on that indifferent face: âThis sort of unrecognizing woman doesnât deserve to stay in the Holy Land! She kept pestering your cousin before so you mustnât allow such a thing to continue!â
Feng Luan was definitely affected by the tarnishing comments. Almost shaking there, her beautiful face was very ugly like sheâs about to scream. The main reason being Bai Yan was her crushâs family member, yet sheâs now being exposed before the public and in such negative light. How could she remain calm? And what would this possible cousin-in-law think of herself?
âYi Yi,â Bai Yan finally speaks up, causing the entire venue to quiet down instantly. âHow come I didnât know our Holy Land has fallen into such a state where some outsider can dictate our actions?â
That second even a drop of a needle could be heard, thatâs how deathly silent it has become over her question.
Like everyone else, Cheng Weiâs proud face was a chunk of solid ice.?Didnât the rumors say this cousin of Lan Xiaoling is very protective of her family? Why is she still able to put up with a woman who clearly got rejected?
âMiss, I⦠I am only doing this for the sake of you and your cousin Lan Xiaoling. This Feng Luan violated the rules here and also wanted to reach out for things before her own status. I just couldnât bear such injustice and wanted to help.â
Almost cold in the face now, Bai Yanâs voice grew somewhat stern and harsh: âWhether or not she broke the rules will be decided upon our investigation, not on your words alone. If you think I will judge her purely because of your whimsical wishes then think again. Whatâs more, what I should do is not for you to decide or suggest!â
