Chapter 37. Breathtaking Martial Uncle Su! She actually stepped forward! (Please continue reading!)_1
Hearing Zhu Wanning’s words, Lin Xiao’s mind exploded with a loud BUZZ!
Instantly, his thoughts were in a colossal mess!
Darn! Did this woman even realize what she was saying? Zhu Wanning was one of the most dependable allies in Ye Chen’s harem, wasn’t she? Did she sincerely want to kill Ye Chen? If the changes in the other junior sisters happened because of me, then what about Zhu Wanning? Whether in the original story or in this timeline, Zhu Wanning hardly had any interaction with him, Lin Xiao. Even when news of Lin Xiao committing suicide on the Cliff of Reflection spread throughout the sect, this icy beauty from Phoenix Caw Peak only remarked, ’Those with impure hearts deserve such an end.’ For years, relying on my Master’s favoritism, I’ve slacked off, coasted, and bullied my junior brothers and sisters. My terrible reputation has long since spread throughout the entire Qinglan Sect. Zhu Wanning must have heard of it too. Given her abhorrence of evil, why would she willingly join forces with me? It’s not normal! Something’s definitely off about this!
Lin Xiao contemplated and weighed his options, his handsome eyes widened as he said coldly, "Junior Sister Zhu! At yesterday’s initiation ceremony, indeed, I had a disagreement with the newly initiated Junior Brother Ye. However, I, Lin Xiao, always act uprightly and openly!"
"Since Junior Brother Ye has maligned me in front of the Sect Leader, I will go and clear my name. As for the rest, the Sect Leader and the Elders of the Enforcement Hall will decide. If I interfere secretly, it would be unjust."
"Whether Ye Chen is guilty or not, and the severity of his crime, the ironclad laws of the sect will determine it. I urge Junior Sister Zhu not to entertain such thoughts, lest she compromise her righteous and compassionate Dao heart!"
He spoke with unwavering conviction, his words brimming with righteousness.
Even Lu Yingying, standing by his side, was astonished!
It was her first time seeing such a just and glorious side of her Eldest Senior Brother!
Having said his piece, Lin Xiao didn’t so much as glance at Zhu Wanning. He simply led the dazed little junior sister by his side towards Shenxiao Palace, striding away quickly.
