As the young man spoke, spittle flew everywhere.

However, Wuwu remained unmoved.

She straightened her back and looked directly into the eyes of the young man.

Wu Wu retorted without backing down, "You're making baseless accusations! Show me the evidence if you dare, otherwise don't slander Brother Xiao here!"

Although Wu Wu's voice wasn't as sharp as a young man's, every word was powerful and resounding.

She stood with her hands on her hips, staring sharply at the young man, exuding an aura of unassailable authority.

The two argued back and forth, their faces turning red with rage.

The young man waved his hands and spewed out a string of foul language.

Wu Wu, however, refused to back down, each rebuttal like a sharp sword aimed directly at the young man's lies.

The atmosphere on the beach grew increasingly tense, as if a conflict could erupt at any moment.

As the two argued, the villagers gradually split into two factions.

Some people believed the young man's words, thinking that Xiao Feng was the culprit, and glared at him angrily.

Another group chose to believe Wu Wu, stood on Xiao Feng's side, and expressed dissatisfaction with the young man's behavior.

Among the villagers who supported the young people, some clenched their fists, while others picked up stones from the ground.

The villagers standing on Xiao Feng's side formed a human wall in front of him, watching the crowd opposite them warily.

The entire beach has clearly split into two opposing camps.

Amid the commotion, Xiao Feng raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

He spoke calmly and steadily, saying, "Fellow villagers, I understand your doubts at this moment. But the children's awakening is something you have witnessed with your own eyes, and it is the result of my utmost efforts."

Xiao Feng looked around and could feel the villagers' suspicious gazes piercing him like sharp swords.

He sighed inwardly, knowing he needed to present more compelling evidence to convince them.

He sighed softly and then said, "I, Xiao Feng, have a clear conscience; my only purpose is to save the children."

Although these words did not completely dispel the villagers' doubts, the noise gradually subsided.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng seized the opportunity and turned towards the direction where the young man was.

He slowly began, “However, this brother’s words have raised my suspicions. From the very beginning, I have been wholeheartedly devoted to rescuing the children and have never colluded with the evil dragon. Yet this brother, just when the children have awakened and everyone is immersed in joy, suddenly stands up to slander me. There is something very wrong with this.”

Upon hearing this, the villagers' initially skeptical gazes toward Xiao Feng began to waver slightly.

Some people turned their attention to the young people, their eyes filled with scrutiny.

Xiao Feng frowned slightly, lost in thought.

After a moment, he said, "If I were truly in league with the evil dragon, why would I go to such lengths to save the children? Isn't that a contradiction?"

As he spoke, he turned slightly toward the villagers, seemingly making eye contact with each of them.

At this moment, dark clouds covered the sky above the village, echoing the villagers' mood.

"On the other hand, look at this brother."

Xiao Feng continued, his sharp gaze fixed on the young man: "During the process of me saving the child, I never saw him contribute anything, yet now he jumps out to accuse me. It's really suspicious."

These words struck the villagers like a heavy blow.

They whispered among themselves, finding Xiao Feng's words quite reasonable, and began to question the young man's behavior more.

Someone muttered under their breath, "Yeah, this kid doesn't usually do much work in the village, so why is he suddenly all excited?"

The young man sensed the changing gazes of those around him; his face flushed and paled in turns, and his eyes began to flicker.

He stammered, "I...I just...I just wanted to tell the truth..."

Xiao Feng sneered and retorted, "The truth? What truth? Did you personally witness me colluding with the evil dragon?"

The young man was stumped by the question and stammered, unable to speak.

Xiao Feng pressed his advantage: "If you really have evidence, then produce it. If it's just empty talk, then don't spout nonsense and sow discord here!"

The villagers nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Some people even started criticizing the young people: "Exactly, they're just spouting nonsense without any evidence!"

The young man was surrounded and attacked by the crowd, and his face grew increasingly pale.

He looked around frantically, as if searching for help, only to find himself completely isolated and helpless.

Xiao Feng then said to the young man, "Brother, you keep saying that I am colluding with evil dragons, but do you have any evidence? If it is just empty talk and arbitrary slander, it is really unfair to me."

Upon hearing this, the young man's face turned pale and then red, his eyes darting around as he stammered, "I...I saw it, don't try to deny it!"

His reaction made the villagers even more suspicious, and a chorus of discontented boos erupted from the crowd.

Someone shouted, "How can you be so vague? Explain yourself clearly!"

The villagers' attitudes have changed significantly.

Those who had doubted Xiao Feng were now beginning to waver.

An elderly man with gray hair frowned and said, "This young man is contradicting himself. Have we been fooled by him?"

“That’s right,” a burly man chimed in. “Brother Xiao Feng risked his life to enter the dragon’s lair to save the children. I would never believe he colluded with the dragon.”

A chorus of approval rose from the crowd; some nodded, others clapped.

A middle-aged man stepped forward, pointed at the young man, and questioned him: "You say you saw it, then tell me, where did you see it? What exactly happened? Don't be vague here!"

Other villagers chimed in, "That's right, explain yourself quickly, don't wrong an innocent person!"

The young man grew increasingly flustered and took a few steps back, trying to avoid the gaze of the crowd.

His legs began to tremble.

"I...I..."

The young man opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word for a long time.

His gaze darted through the crowd, seemingly searching for help, only to find himself isolated and helpless.

Seeing this, the villagers became even more convinced that Xiao Feng's words were true, and their suspicion of the young man reached its peak.

The crowd surrounded the young man, waiting for him to give a reasonable explanation.

"Speak up! What did you see?" someone shouted impatiently.

"Stop pretending to be mute. Weren't you talking so enthusiastically just now?" another person said sarcastically.

The young man's face grew increasingly pale, his lips trembled, yet he couldn't utter a single complete sentence.

Xiao Feng stood quietly to the side. Although he couldn't see any of this, he could sense the reversal of the situation.

His lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

"Fellow villagers," Xiao Feng suddenly spoke, his voice calm and firm, "I think the truth of the matter is quite obvious. This brother probably has some unspeakable difficulties that led him to act so irrationally."

The villagers nodded in agreement. One of them said, "Brother Xiao Feng is right, this kid definitely has something going on."
