Chapter 862 - “Wang Xiao Ying’s and Little Rice’s Whereabout (4)”
In other words, she believes the Holy Land wouldn’t judge a person based purely on someone else’s claim alone.
Smiling at the meaning behind that, Bai Yan’s beauty at this moment could blind everyone’s sight if she tried. If not for the fact that her identity was beyond their reach, many of the males would’ve loved to pursue such a woman!
“My words are the truth,” Cheng Wei snickers sinisterly and leaked his true nature. “Besides, it wasn’t just me who saw what she did, there’s others around as well when that happened. Am I right everyone?”
Those who followed Cheng Wei didn’t expect to be dragged into this situation, but now that they’re being put up to it, they couldn’t exactly deny it either. Nodding with one another to push themselves forward: “Yes, this evil woman is the worst! She is afraid of Sir Cheng Wei’s strength and the likelihood of him taking away her resources due to his exceptional talent, that’s why he attacked him.”
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 there’s no waves at all in the heart.
Cheng Wei himself didn’t care about anything else, he only wants to know what Bai Yan was going to do next because he couldn’t read her at all. Nevertheless, the insult and shame he felt from the rejection pushed him to a level of beyond help: “Miss, do you know she is the former queen of the Feng Qi Kingdom? And…. she also pursued Lan Xiaoling for a time, only to be rejected by him at the end.”
Likely wanting to gloat before the very person he’s 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: “This sort of unrecognizing woman doesn’t deserve to stay in the Holy Land! She kept pestering your cousin before so you mustn’t allow such a thing to continue!”
Feng Luan was definitely affected by the tarnishing comments. Almost shaking there, her beautiful face was very ugly like she’s about to scream. The main reason being Bai Yan was her crush’s family member, yet she’s 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?
“Yi Yi,” Bai Yan finally speaks up, causing the entire venue to quiet down instantly. “How come I didn’t know our Holy Land has fallen into such a state where some outsider can dictate our actions?”
That second even a drop of a needle could be heard, that’s how deathly silent it has become over her question.
Like everyone else, Cheng Wei’s proud face was a chunk of solid ice. Didn’t 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?
“Miss, 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 couldn’t bear such injustice and wanted to help.”
Almost cold in the face now, Bai Yan’s voice grew somewhat stern and harsh: “Whether 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. What’s more, what I should do is not for you to decide or suggest!”
