Chapter 40-41 Beautiful Master Appears! Only in a World Where the Male Lead is Hurt (Two-in-One)_1
Under the gaze of the crowd.
The aloof and exquisitely beautiful Zhu Wanning, who hadn’t uttered a word throughout the proceedings, gracefully moved on her slender, high-heeled legs to stand beside Lin Xiao.
She first bowed to the Elders on stage, then cupped her hands towards her Master, Su Mei, and said, "Master, when I discovered Ye Chen trespassing into the Fairy Pool and detained him, I was on my way back to my residence. It was then I saw Chu Youwei from Divine Phoenix Peak flying on her sword towards Phoenix Caw Peak. I approached to inquire, but Junior Sister Chu only mentioned she was looking for someone and then hastily departed."
"Now, it seems... just as Senior Brother Lin suggested, Junior Sister Chu was likely looking for the missing Ye Chen at that time."
"Therefore..."
She bit her lip, hesitating for a second before, for the first time in her life, telling a lie. "The incident where Junior Brother Ye from Tiandang Peak trespassed into the Fairy Pool... may indeed be a misunderstanding!"
As this testimony was spoken, the entire venue was instantly thrown into an uproar!
The Elders on the stage were also whispering amongst themselves, looks of astonishment on their faces.
Zhu Wanning surely knows the score, Lin Xiao thought. During my student days in my previous life, while reading "Emperor," I was too busy obsessing over Martial Uncle Su, completely overlooking this ice queen who possesses both beauty and wisdom. But then again, the Zhu Wanning from the original story never lied and valued her promises immensely. Midway through the story, she promised that scumbag Ye Chen that she would wait for him in the Qinglan Sect, and so she guarded Phoenix Caw alone for hundreds of years. Such a woman is actually lying to help me?
Lin Xiao observed this, feeling both gratified and somewhat puzzled.
