It's very late at night.
The moon was large and bright enough, so everyone could clearly see the anger on Shen Qiqi's face. Then, looking at the sword in her hand with flames flowing through its blade, everyone instinctively fell silent.
The evil spirit in the ruins was ferocious and treacherous, and kept haunting them like a ghost. It was only when the girl in front of them cut off one of the evil spirit's arms that the evil spirit retreated back into the ruins.
The girl in front of them didn't save their lives, but at least gave them a chance to catch their breath.
Therefore, their current silence is due to both the weak's instinctive fear of the strong and their gratitude towards Shen Qiqi.
But the silence was soon broken by the man's hoarse roar.
"How can it not be related! Her surname is Shen, and she is a girl from the Yuzhou Shen family. As long as Shen Ning'er is still surnamed Shen, then the Yuzhou Shen family cannot escape responsibility for this matter!"
Perhaps the person who was speaking was too excited, and the voice sounded sharp and harsh.
Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look behind them.
Shen Qiqi also looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man in his twenties sitting on the ground, holding a girl in purple in his arms.
The purple-clothed girl lay motionless, with a bloody hole on her neck so deep that the bone was visible. Her entire front was stained red with blood. The glaring scarlet color made her bloodless face look even paler.
He had obviously been dead for a long time.
Seeing everyone looking at him, the young man became more and more agitated, but he did not look at anyone. Instead, he stood up holding the purple-clothed girl in his arms, staring at Shen Qiqi, and said angrily:
"Miss, I don't know what your relationship is with the Shen family, and why you are speaking for the Shen family, but I ask you to first look at the dead monks on the ground, and then decide whether to speak for the Shen family!"
"Just now, we were all trying our best to kill the evil spirit, but Shen Ning'er not only didn't help, she also hid behind us and stabbed us. My fiancée and those who fought alongside us on the ground all died under her hidden knife! Count how many of us she killed!"
When the man was excited, sparks almost came out of his eyes. He also provoked the emotions of the crowd, and they angrily attacked the Shen family of Yuzhou again from a distance.
Shen Qiqi felt a sharp pain in her head as she listened to the increasingly unbearable accusations and curses.
She subconsciously glanced at Xie Beiming, who had been standing beside her. When he received her gaze, he took a step closer to her. The moment their shoulders touched, he transmitted a message.
"Tell everyone who you are."
"……good!"
Shen Qiqi was stunned for a moment, and soon understood why Xie Beiming wanted her to reveal her identity.
Although the open and covert struggles among the hundreds of Taoist sects have never stopped, they are never allowed to kill each other during the battle.
Especially when it comes to acts like stabbing someone in the back, if they are not prohibited, who knows if you will be the one being stabbed in the back next time.
Now, because of Shen Ning'er, the entire Shen family has been pushed to the forefront. If this matter is not handled properly, the Shen family will be kicked out of the list of the five major families. They will also be attacked by other large and small families and become the chicken in the killing of the chicken to scare the monkey.
Therefore, she had to make everyone believe that whether it was the evil spirit in Furong Town or Shen Ning'er's assassination of the monk today, it was all her Shen Ning'er's personal behavior and had nothing to do with the Shen family in Yuzhou.
Who can guarantee that there are not one or two bad guys in his family?
If the entire family is to be buried with a bad person, I am afraid no family would dare to set such a precedent.
Thinking of this, Shen Qiqi took a deep breath, looked at everyone silently, then put away the Fire Spirit Sword in her hand and bowed deeply to everyone.
Her action left everyone stunned. However, the young man who had been the most emotional just now reacted first and said, "Miss, you spoke up for the Shen family just now only because you didn't know the whole story. Ignorance is not the fault. Miss, you don't have to apologize to us."
Shen Qiqi shook her head and said, "No, this matter was caused by me, I should apologize to you all."
Her words made everyone even more confused, and the young man asked in confusion, "Girl, what do you mean by that?"
Shen Qiqi didn't answer him, but turned to face Xie Beiming. Xie Beiming had a wet wipe in his hand and wiped away the waxy yellow disguise on her face one by one, revealing the girl's fair and bright face.
Everyone watched helplessly as Shen Qiqi's face changed right under their noses. They were shocked and stared at her with wide eyes.
At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "She is Shen Qiqi! Shen Qiqi, the second daughter of the Yuzhou Shen family!"
This cry brought everyone back to their senses from their shock.
"Why does this face look so familiar to me? It turns out to be the second daughter of the Shen family!"
"She is Shen Qiqi, the second daughter of the Shen family? We are a family, no wonder she is so supportive of the Shen family!"
"If the Shen family loses, she will suffer no good either. She must do her best to clear the Shen family's name!"
"That's right, the lips and teeth are interdependent!"
…Seeing that everyone’s attention was becoming more and more distracted, Shen Qiqi sighed helplessly in her heart and glanced at Xie Beiming.
It turns out that not everyone can understand her thoughts.
Fortunately, Shen Qiqi didn't expect everyone to be able to empathize with her. After everyone had vented their anger, she said, "You are right. My surname is Shen, and I am from the Shen family. If the Shen family falls, I will not suffer any harm either. After all, the lips and teeth are cold, so."
Shen Qiqi glanced at everyone again and said in a more serious tone: "That's why I can't bear to see our Yuzhou Shen family being misunderstood."
Before anyone could raise their eyebrows, Shen Qiqi immediately followed up, "I'm sure you've all heard that there was a rift between me and my sister, Shen Ning'er. Some time ago, we two sisters joined the Wuji Sect together, but Shen Ning'er was expelled from the sect for secretly harming a fellow disciple."
Xie Beiming said: "I testify that what Miss Shen Er said is true. Miss Shen Da was indeed expelled by the Purple Spirit Immortal Venerable because she secretly harmed her fellow disciples."
Only then did everyone realize that Xie Beiming had also changed his face, and this face was exactly that of their role model, Young Master Xie.
Who doesn’t know that Young Master Xie is the most fair and selfless!
Moreover, many of them had just been saved by Xie Beiming. If Xie Beiming had not been protecting them, they would have been torn to pieces by the evil creature under the ruins!
Everyone who originally had no patience to listen to Shen Qiqi's explanation fell silent for Xie Beiming's sake.
