Chapter 127: Shuraba (Part 2)

Chapter 127: Shuraba (Part 2)

A flicker of panic appeared in Senior Sister Ziyuan's beautiful eyes, though it vanished in an instant.

She remained silent, yet for the first time ever, she felt flustered.

Even her palms were slick with fragrant sweat.

She was nervous, her entire body tensed up.

She worried that if certain matters were brought up again, it would cause dissatisfaction in Qin Xuan's heart.

It would make Qin Xuan feel that she was not worth it!

Luo Xinyi sneered and continued, "Since you dare not admit it, let me tell everyone: Ye Feng's father and your father had some history, and your Saint Physician Lineage owes Ye Feng a promise."

"Back then, you sought out Qin Xuan to kill him."

"To fulfill your promise to Ye Feng, you sought to erase Qin Xuan!"

She proudly crossed her arms over her heavy chest.

She mercilessly exposed this 'grudge.'

Daring to stand up for Mu Qingxue, she had naturally conducted investigations beforehand.

The Ziyang Ten Divisions did not only have influence within the Ziyang Imperial Capital.

Even throughout the entire Ziyang Empire, and even over in the Mingyue Dynasty, the Ziyang Ten Divisions had spies.

These matters were open and above board, with no need for avoidance.

As long as she used a little bit of her influence, she could investigate the results!

"You keep harping on about Qing Xue's wrongdoings, but what about yourself? Have you not repented and turned over a new leaf?"

"You are adamant about not giving Qing Xue another chance, so why are you so incredibly lenient with yourself?"

Luo Xinyi pressed on step by step, not giving Senior Sister Ziyuan any chance to react.

Senior Sister Ziyuan lowered her head, biting her lip, and said nothing.

She kept glancing at Qin Xuan out of the corner of her eye.

Terrified that he might show even the slightest hint of being moved, or worse, an expression of disgust.

She could ignore the feelings of others, but she could not ignore Qin Xuan's mood.

"In that case, I shall stay here to take care of Qin Xuan."

Shangguan Si chimed in at an inopportune moment, breaking the awkward situation for Senior Sister Ziyuan.

She suddenly felt that this Luo Xinyi was here to help her.

By fiercely confronting Qing Ning and Senior Sister Ziyuan.

And equating their faults with those of Mu Qingxue.

Then wouldn't she be the only one left who could stay at the mansion?

Ever since she met Qin Xuan, she had never thought about taking his life.

Nor had she ever thought about harming Qin Xuan!

"You?" Luo Xinyi turned her head, sizing up the elegant and poised Shangguan Si among the pair of exquisite sisters, and sneered, "Forget it, you aren't any better."

Shangguan Si said with dissatisfaction, "What have I done?"

"You lack a proper standing!" Luo Xinyi shouted unhappily, "When your Shangguan Family was in trouble, you got entangled with the Tianya Sword Pavilion. Your father almost married you off to Long Chen, and even had Long Chen serve as your personal bodyguard."

"Long Chen and Qin Xuan are sworn enemies. Who knows if you might hold onto old feelings and harm Qin Xuan to help Long Chen?"

Isn't this just nitpicking?

Luo Xinyi had it all under control.

Finding trouble to annoy Shangguan Si was easy enough.

She continued with a huff, "Even if you don't admit to the possibility I mentioned, it doesn't matter. At the very least, in the Ziyang Imperial Capital, when you saw that Qin Xuan had a connection to my Luo Family, you intended to use him."

"You know in your heart what kind of behemoth the Ning Prince Mansion is. Even Senior Sister Ziyuan's father cannot claim to be able to suppress it."

"Yet, the moment you saw the slightest possibility, you completely disregarded Qin Xuan's personal safety and dragged him into the mess."

"With actions like that, you can't stand on firm ground. Who knows if your Shangguan Family joining the Yaochi Sacred Land now isn't just to utilize Qin Xuan's lingering influence to escape the pursuit of the Ning Prince Mansion?"

Shangguan Si was furious, her chest heaving violently with agitation. She pointed a finger at Luo Xinyi's nose and scolded angrily, "You are spouting nonsense and spewing lies here!"

Luo Xinyi shrugged indifferently, "I am just stating a possibility; I haven't nailed you to the pillar of shame."

"Surely you don't think I'm wrong for looking out for Qin Xuan, do you?"

A sly smile appeared in her eyes.

This was an open scheme.

If Shangguan Si got angry again, it would mean she didn't care about Qin Xuan.

But if she didn't get angry or pursue the matter, she would lose the opportunity to stand on firm ground.

No matter what choice she made, Shangguan Si had already been eliminated from this competition.

Inside the room, the women were incensed.

Their gazes toward Luo Xinyi were filled with shame and anger.

The key was that they couldn't find an excuse to refute Luo Xinyi's arguments.

Only Mu Qingxue had a look of astonishment in her beautiful eyes.

She looked at Luo Xinyi's exquisite face, never having imagined that the always unreliable girl could one day play such a significant role.

She felt so ashamed she wanted to run away.

Yet Luo Xinyi had successfully turned the situation around with just a few words.

Allowing her to return to a level playing field with Senior Sister Ziyuan and the others.

Furthermore, she had the added identity of being his fiancée, which was an absolute major advantage!

Just as she wanted to speak, Qing Ning said coldly with dissatisfaction, "Do you mean that our current faults are all forgiven, and since Mu Qingxue is the Young Master's fiancée, she should be the one to take care of the Young Master closely?"

Senior Sister Ziyuan and Shangguan Si were both staring fixedly at Luo Xinyi.

Including Mu Qingxue, who was also watching with a look of anticipation.

Under everyone's gaze, Luo Xinyi shook her head, feigning profundity, "You're overthinking it. If that were the case, what reason would I have to accuse you all? If I just did it to satisfy my own selfish desires, I wouldn't be standing on firm ground, would I? You can't just pick a good one from a pile of crooked melons and cracked dates; it's still just a pile of crooked melons and cracked dates, right?"

"..."

Senior Sister Ziyuan was dumbfounded.

Qing Ning and Shangguan Si looked at each other in dismay.

Even Mu Qingxue felt betrayed, her face full of disbelief.

"Since you can't stay at the mansion, the important task of taking care of Qin Xuan shall be left to me!"

"Qin Xuan saved my life in the Dragon Blood Secret Realm, so repaying him is what I should do."

Luo Xinyi didn't care at all about their scornful gazes, proudly lifting her snow-white neck.

She had said so much that her mouth was dry.

She couldn't let Mu Qingxue snatch all the benefits, could she?

She was a person with few virtues and a whole heap of flaws.

The most prominent of which was greed.

She wanted both her best friend and Qin Xuan.

Even though she was backstabbing her, she secretly transmitted her voice to Mu Qingxue, "Qing Xue, put in a good word for me. If I stay here, I'll whisper sweet nothings in Qin Xuan's ear on your behalf—ah, ptooey, I mean, just whisper in his ear."

Mu Qingxue looked stunned.

She had originally thought that Luo Xinyi was on her side.

Who would have thought that she was on her own team?

After using her, she kicked her to the curb.

And now, she still wanted her to open her mouth and put in a good word?

Why did she feel like this was so unreliable?

How was this any sort of'saving the nation by a roundabout path'?

It was clearly that Luo Xinyi also had crooked intentions toward Qin Xuan.

She wanted to overtake her on the bend!

"I've figured it out!"

The little loli Shangguan Ying pointed her finger at Luo Xinyi, puffing out her cheeks in anger, and said furiously, "You aren't speaking up for Sister Mu at all! You just want to drive us all away so you can stay in the mansion alone and get close to Young Master Qin, right!?"

Luo Xinyi kept a straight face and said, "Little brat, you can insult my best friend, but you cannot insult me, Luo Xinyi!"

The little loli shouted angrily, "You even betrayed Sister Mu!"

Luo Xinyi stared at the little loli as she spoke, noticing the towering peaks on her chest that jiggled.

It was the first time she had felt a sense of crisis from a girl.

The key was that Shangguan Ying was only this small; if she grew up, wouldn't she surpass even her?

This was her base, her core competitiveness to compete with Senior Sister Ziyuan and the other women.

It was her bottom line, not to be crossed!

She could not be surpassed by anyone!

The more she thought about it, the more she broke down!

She shouted angrily, "Out of everyone here, you have the most wicked heart! The moment you see Qin Xuan, you throw yourself into his arms like a moth to a flame, desperately squeezing into his embrace—are you afraid he won't see your chest, huh?"
