Chapter 250

"This...this..."

Some people didn't know how to describe the scene before them; even though they had been wandering the martial arts world for a long time, they had never seen such a spectacle.

Rong Rong watched with amusement. Usually, she was the one who was frantically pursued and scrambled to avoid others, but now it was finally her turn to watch others.

But this Miss Li Fengxian seemed to be enjoying herself very much. Rong Rong blinked in confusion. Should she learn from her?

If you can't avoid it, should you just enjoy it so you won't have any more troubles?

As Rong Rong was deep in thought, a large hand suddenly covered her eyes.

"It's not a good thing, sister, don't look." Jiang Yetang looked down at Li Fengxian downstairs with a gloomy expression, not wanting to corrupt his Rongrong.

Rong Rong tried to pry Jiang Yetang's hand away, but she couldn't budge it.

Those around watched as someone actually climbed onto the soft couch and sat down next to Li Fengxian, their eyes filled with envy and longing.

"I heard that Li Fengxian once declared that she wanted to marry Shen Yanbai. Is she here to steal him away?"

"I really envy the Ruthless Swordsman. He comes from Lingyun Manor, is ranked number one on the Young Heroes List, and most importantly, has an absolute beauty throwing herself into his arms. I wish I were him!"

"Don't forget, Shen Yanbai doesn't even fancy Li Fengxian! If he doesn't want such a beauty, I wonder who Cheng Xiaoman is? How could she possibly marry Shen Yanbai?"

"Miss Cheng is kind-hearted, innocent, and lovely. Even if she isn't as beautiful as Li Fengxian, she's still a good girl!"

As Cheng Xiaoman loudly praised the process, and others echoed her sentiments, a discordant voice suddenly rang out.

"Pah! What a load of rubbish! She's a vicious woman!"

The restaurant fell silent instantly as everyone looked toward the source of the sound. Rong Rong also grabbed Jiang Yetang's hand, and Jiang Yetang then let go of Rong Rong.

The one who was swearing was a middle-aged man with a long scar on his face, running from the end of his eyebrow across his entire face to the corner of his mouth, making him look ferocious and terrifying.

When people called Cheng Xiaoman a femme fatale, everyone found it laughable; the man seemed more like a villain.

"You have insulted Lady Cheng. Be careful, or Lingyun Manor will come after you!"

"I think you're the one who's a venomous man!"

"Say one more word and I'll kill you!"

One by one, people picked up their swords and knives, looking at the middle-aged man with murderous intent.

The reason they defended Cheng Xiaoman so much was largely to curry favor with Lingyun Manor. Of course, another reason was that Cheng Xiaoman had a good reputation in the martial arts world, and people were willing to believe in her.

The middle-aged man took a step back in fear, trembling all over. He clenched his fists and looked around with grief and indignation. Seeing the hostile gazes all around him, he finally sat back down without daring to utter a sound.

But the moment he sat down, he seemed to shrink several heads.

Rong Rong looked at this person and instinctively felt that there was a story behind him. Suddenly, she saw Luo Feiyu quietly get up and walk towards the middle-aged man when no one was paying attention.

Rong Rong was eager to know what Luo Feiyu had said to the middle-aged man.

Jiang Yetang saw through Rong Rong's thoughts. Although he was very dissatisfied with Rong Rong's excessive attention to Luo Feiyu, he still gave a wink to someone in the shadows and sent someone over to investigate.

Rong Rong soon learned about the connection between the middle-aged man and Cheng Xiaoman and Luo Feiyu.

It turns out that when Cheng Xiaoman and Luo Feiyu were traveling together, they encountered a middle-aged man and his family of three who were being chased.

Luo Feiyu rushed forward and stopped the assassin. In the nick of time, he asked Cheng Xiaoman to help the middle-aged man and his family leave so they could find a doctor to treat their injuries.

Cheng Xiaoman was driving a carriage with the middle-aged man and his companions to a nearby city, but halfway there, he found it troublesome and kicked them off the carriage. The middle-aged man's wife and children were seriously injured and urgently needed treatment. Fearing that they would not make it to the city in time, he knelt down and begged Cheng Xiaoman to lend him the carriage.

Unfortunately, Cheng Xiaoman ignored him, even whipping the middle-aged man, and went straight back.

Ultimately, due to the lack of timely assistance, the middle-aged man's wife and children all tragically passed away.

The middle-aged man was heartbroken and transferred all his hatred to Cheng Xiaoman. He felt that Cheng Xiaoman was extremely hypocritical. All along the way, she claimed to be doing chivalrous deeds and earning a good reputation, but in reality, she was just putting on an act.

There were several people like the middle-aged man; some had died, while others had survived by chance. They gathered together and rushed to Qinghuai Prefecture.

Their goal was to expose Cheng Xiaoman's hypocritical facade; even if it meant being killed by Lingyun Manor, they were willing to fight to the death.

Moreover, they also suspected that Luo Feiyu had been framed by Cheng Xiaoman.

After carefully inquiring about the events surrounding Luo Feiyu's incident, they became increasingly convinced that Cheng Xiaoman had framed Luo Feiyu.

The purpose might be to get rid of Luo Feiyu and get involved with Shen Yanbai.

Rong Rong listened to these words but did not express any opinion; she simply remained silent.

There was nothing else to it; Rong Rong thought of the original owner's experiences.

He thought of the three corpses that Cheng Xiaoman dragged him and the original owner into the woods, where they were buried with leaves instead of soil because digging was too tiring.

Starting things with great enthusiasm but failing to finish them is indeed somewhat like Cheng Xiaoman's style.

Rong Rong hadn't anticipated that it would directly cause someone's death.

"Sigh, Grandpa Shen is really getting old. He actually likes someone like that and even chooses her as his granddaughter-in-law?"

Jiang Yetang shook his head, then looked at Rong Rong with sparkling eyes. The real treasure was with him, but no one knew it.

This secret joy and pleasure made Jiang Yetang unable to stop smiling.

In high spirits, Jiang Yetang started drinking, one cup after another, getting more and more energetic with each drink.

Over there, Luo Feiyu returned to his seat, his mind and body reeling from the near-devastating blow.

He never imagined that Cheng Xiaoman had done so many things to deceive him. He thought he had saved those people, but in the end, he died because he handed them over to Cheng Xiaoman.

The deaths of those people may seem unrelated to him, but in reality, they died indirectly because of him, because he misjudged people!

Luo Feiyu felt guilty and distressed, almost unable to breathe.

And that incident, he thought it was because of his own despicable character that he had wronged Cheng Xiaoman, but now he thinks it might really be Cheng Xiaoman's scheme against him.

That day, Cheng Xiaoman asked him strangely about Shen Yanbai, and she was in a state of panic all day.

That night, for the first time ever, they kept pouring him drinks, saying it made them happy.

Then he barged into the house, shouting and yelling.

That day he was completely out of his mind, his brain was blank and confused, his world had collapsed, and he was surrounded by vicious words.

So much so that he didn't pay much attention when Cheng Xiaoman left with Shen Yanbai.

That's really strange.

Luo Feiyu smiled wryly, turning to look at Miao Zhu beside him, hesitating several times as if he wanted to say something.

Was that incident related to Miao Zhu? He didn't know, but he didn't dare to ask easily. Miao Zhu was already hurt enough; why would he want to rub salt into her wounds?

Luo Feiyu felt a pang of pity.
