Chapter 315: Face-to-face confrontation?
Lin Xueyan's face changed, she looked at Wuhen in shock, greatly surprised that he knew so much about the affairs of Zhu Lu Peak.
Then Lin Zhishang said, "That's naturally because the Emperor Sovereign is guarding my family's Xueyan's chastity like jade! This also clearly shows that the Emperor Sovereign's love for my family's Xueyan is irrepressible, he cannot live without her!"
Lin Xueyan was very satisfied with what Lin Zhishang said. This was exactly what she had wanted to say. But because saying it herself in front of everyone would be inappropriate, she simply let Lin Zhishang say it for her.
"I see... how about this: we go invite the Emperor Sovereign of Zhu Lu Peak to come for a face-to-face confrontation?"
"Face-to-face confrontation?"
Lin Xueyan's heart gave a 'thump', she was so frightened her soul almost flew away.
"How could she possibly go invite the Emperor Sovereign for a confrontation? That would surely expose her."
She feigned calm, "You must be joking? Not to mention, Zhu Lu Peak is in Western Extremity, the journey is far; besides, the Emperor Sovereign is of exalted status, how could he be summoned so casually?"
Wuhen merely smiled faintly and dropped an explosive piece of news: "If I'm not mistaken, that Emperor Sovereign of Zhu Lu Peak is currently in this Xiliang City."
"A single stone stirred up a thousand waves!"
"Everyone was shocked beyond measure!"
"That Emperor Sovereign of Zhu Lu Peak, whose power reaches the heavens, is he really in their tiny Xiliang City right now?"
Even Ye Qingran looked at Wuhen with an astonished gaze.
Wuhen just said, the Emperor Sovereign of Zhu Lu Peak is now in Xiliang City?
"Is this true?"
"If it's true, how did Wuhen come to know this?"
"She was full of doubts in her heart, yet she didn't ask."
Unlike everyone else's reaction, Lin Xueyan was struck as if by lightning, frozen in place like a wooden puppet.
She looked at Wuhen with an incredulous gaze, wanting to see through him.
"Since you just returned from Zhu Lu Peak, you should know the Emperor Sovereign's whereabouts well, right?"
Lin Xueyan looked at Wuhen, shocked speechless.
"How could he know that the Emperor Sovereign of Zhu Lu Peak is now in Xiliang City? Only a few people know this news. The only way she could know is because she just returned from Zhu Lu Peak!"
Everyone looked at Lin Xueyan's shocked appearance and began to speculate.
"Could it be that the Emperor Sovereign is really in Xiliang City?"
"But if the Emperor Sovereign is in Xiliang City, why doesn't Lin Xueyan dare to have him come for a confrontation? Could it be that what she said is all false?"
"\"Lin Xuewei, will you take off your clothes yourself, or shall we help you? \" Han Xing wore a cold, solemn expression, living up to his name."
Lin Xuewei's face was ashen, her whole body trembling, tears of humiliation in her eyes as she looked at Ye Qingran, yet filled with endless hatred.
"\"What, unwilling? If you can't afford the bet, then don't bet! Originally my young lady is kind-hearted, I just wanted you to admit your misdiagnosis, but you harbored ulterior motives and added a stripping wager. Now that you've lost, you refuse to strip? What kind of good deal is that? \""
Leng Yue said viciously.
Upon hearing Leng Yue say that, the crowd echoed, saying Lin Xuewei had tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice, everything was her own doing, not deserving sympathy.
Lin Xuewei pleaded with a look at Lin Xueyan, hoping this sister who had returned from Western Extremity could help her. But Lin Xueyan herself was now troubled, with no spare thought to help Lin Xuewei.
Lin Xuewei stood before the crowd, mumbling for a long time; Leng Yue couldn't bear it any longer, directly helped her, tearing all her clothes away, in an instant revealing her fair-skinned body.
Ye Qingran covered the two children's eyes, telling them not to look at impropriety. She prepared to remind Wuhen to close his eyes, but discovered Wuhen had already turned his back on Lin Xuewei, smiling as he looked at her.
Ye Qingran felt mischievous, smiling, "Lin Xuewei is after all a great beauty, her figure isn't bad, don't you want to take a look?"
She swore that if Wuhen said he wanted to, she would make him cut off his descendants.
Wuhen raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Not looking, it's painful to the eyes."
"That disdainful expression, absolutely!"
Ye Qingran twitched the corner of her mouth.
"Painful to the eyes?"
"Alright."
The onlooking crowd was full of anticipation for Lin Xuewei's stripping. As the Second Miss of the Lin Family, of noble status, they usually don't get to see her face, let alone her body. Moreover, Lin Xuewei is beautiful, making many men's hearts itch.
Lin Xuewei's body was fully exposed to the crowd's view, many men leered.
"\"Tsk tsk, not bad! Looking at her is truly fucking exhilarating! \"
"\"This figure, far better than my woman! \"
"\"I really couldn't tell, Lin Xuewei has such a great figure... \"
Even more vulgar sounds rose and fell.
"\"Ah, shut your dog eyes at once! You filthy, stinking men! I'll kill you! \"
"\"If you look at me again, I'll gouge out your eyeballs! \"
"\"You despicable lecher, how could my body be something you can see? \"
Lin Xuewei trembled all over, she pointed at the onlooking crowd, hysterically insulting and threatening them.
"At this moment, she was utterly without purity, resembling a shrew; where was her usual dignified demeanor?"
"\"Give me my clothes quickly! You two lowly maidservants! \" Lin Xuewei finally pointed at Han Xing and Leng Yue, shouting the command."
"\"Want to put on clothes? Fine, then quickly say ten times, 'I, Lin Xuewei, misdiagnosed and concealed, colluded with fellow disciples to cover up'! \" Han Xing's attitude was extremely cold."
Lin Xuewei was so angry she nearly bit through a silver tooth.
She almost uttered that sentence ten times through clenched teeth.
Although Lin Xuewei finally put on her clothes, covering her shame, her reputation was utterly ruined. Thereafter, when people saw Lin Xuewei, the first thing that came to mind was her fair flesh, then her misdiagnosis and concealment, even colluding with fellow disciples to cover up, ultimately being expelled from the Divine Medicine Sect.
Seeing Lin Xuewei suffer such treatment, Lady Leng felt extreme heartache.
"Lin Xuewei is her lifesaver! She simply can't bear to see her suffer. If she weren't currently powerless, she would surely spare no effort to protect her."
"\"Xi Er, let's go see Xuewei; the blow she suffered today is too great! \"
This bustle, in the aftermath of the Lin Family losing all face, gradually wound down, and the crowd dispersed.
On the way back, Ye Qingran asked Wuhen, "Wuhen, how did you know that the Emperor Sovereign at the pinnacle of the chase for the deer is in Xiliang City?"
Wuhen's whole body tensed for a moment, then after thinking he replied, "Oh, I've been keeping an eye on Lin Xueyan's movements lately, and I found out by accident from her."
"I see." As for Wuhen's words, Ye Qingran has always believed them without doubt.
