"It turns out that she is just a country bumpkin."
"A shrewd individual with a low education who causes trouble without considering the situation."
"I no longer doubt why this vicious villainess ruined the discussion today with her lawlessness."
Shenlian Yingyue listened to them calmly as she observed Di Yutong’s widened eyes.
Di Yutong felt very guilty; he hadn’t expected the situation to unfold like this.
"You guys, shut up! How can you believe the rumors so easily?" Some people were furious on Shenlian Yingyue’s behalf.
They were anxious; how could she be so calm in such a situation? They rolled up their sleeves and began to argue back.
"Let them speak; I can’t sew their mouths shut," Shenlian Yingyue’s brief words successfully halted the argument.
"But... but..." they stammered, feeling nervous. Why didn’t she care?
"I don’t mind being the antagonist in someone else’s story, as long as I am not in yours," she declared to those who were on her side.
Gasps rippled through the crowd, and a hush fell over them. What a remarkable sentiment!
Everyone in the Ethereal Small World scoffed at the accusers. Look, their Yue’er, she was so admirable—these people were truly blind.
Though her comment garnered increased admiration and appreciation from those nearby, it also attracted disdain and contempt from others. Some perceived her as pretentious, while others remained indifferent, and still, some were intrigued by her. The crowd’s varied reactions elicited a spectrum of opinions, yet none of them affected her heart.
Di Xiuyu laughed. Her unpredictable smile captured everyone’s attention. They were puzzled as to why she suddenly laughed. Her reaction confused them; her unique aura and unparalleled grace drew everyone’s curiosity.
While people’s focus was on Di Xiuyu, Shenlian Yingyue successfully left the hall.
Dongfang Moqing, who was always by her side, followed her.
Meanwhile, Ji Fulin looked at Di Xiuyu, and she met his gaze. Their eyes met, and they seemed to understand each other without words.
Ji Fulin frowned. He noticed that Jun Mu Jin was still practicing in his space, so he approached Di Xiuyu, hoping Jin’er didn’t misunderstand him.
When those who doubted Ji Fulin’s relationship with Shenlian Yingyue saw that he returned to Di Xiuyu’s side, they ceased their suspicions.
This was the reason Ji Fulin couldn’t openly side with Shenlian Yingyue. He was the royal husband of the crown princess, Di Xiuyu; he could never protect another woman in public. This would tarnish Shenlian Yingyue’s reputation.
Su Lanfei didn’t follow Shenlian Yingyue. She lowered her eyes to hide the dark emotions surging inside her.
"Don’t you follow your best friend?" Di Xiuyu smiled strangely at Su Lanfei.
"Let her be," Su Lanfei replied, her tone cold as if Shenlian Yingyue were an irrelevant person to her.
Her response made Ji Fulin narrow his eyes. But in the end, he said nothing. It wasn’t his problem; he would not care. Yet somehow, he felt dissatisfied with Su Lanfei’s reaction.
He knew of Su Lanfei through Huang Bai Xing, who had mentioned that Shenlian Yingyue and Su Lanfei were very close.
"Don’t you want to send those who bully her to hell?" Di Xiuyu’s expression was unpredictable.
’Of course, I want to send you and everyone who hurt her to hell!’ This was what she wanted to say, but the words that came out of her mouth were, "She deserves it!"
