Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Ruan Xinrou felt her scalp tingle.
"You...you all..."
She stared in disbelief at everything before her, her heart sinking as a chill ran from her feet to the top of her head.
The scene before her made her breathing rapid and disordered.
"Them what? You think they're all dead?!"
Bai Ying looked at Ruan Xinrou with a cold smile. "It's a pity, look, there are still people alive!"
Su Yu was also stunned; he simply couldn't believe his eyes.
"Xiao Liu!" He hurriedly ran towards Qin Zijing.
Looking at the living, breathing Qin Zijing before him, he burst into tears.
"Thank goodness, you're alive! You scared me to death!" He said, hugging Qin Zijing tightly. "You know what? My junior sister and I were so worried about you. She cried so hard when she talked about what happened to you."
Su Yu kept expressing his worries, but he didn't notice that when he mentioned his junior sister, Qin Zijing's body stiffened noticeably, and her gaze towards Ruan Xinrou turned icy.
Many people at the scene also ran towards them.
They were all very happy.
Although countless people died in this great battle, there were still survivors. This was undoubtedly a cause for celebration for them. Those whose fellow disciples had survived were especially overjoyed.
These people were both crying and laughing. They kept checking their physical condition; although some had become disabled, being alive was better than anything else.
However, some people at the scene were still relentless in their attacks on Bai Ying. "Bai Ying, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to tell us that there are still people who haven't died? But all my fellow disciples are dead! You can't escape punishment just because some people are still alive, can you?"
"Yes! Your mistakes are unforgivable. Even if they didn't die, you caused their injuries. Especially those who died, no matter what you do, you can't bring them back! You deserve to die..."
Bai Ying gave them a cold look. "They committed such a grave mistake. Of course they deserve to be punished."
"Okay! Then you go and suffer! Just like we agreed..."
But before he could finish speaking, he was immediately interrupted by the people behind Bai Ying: "Who told you that Bai Ying harmed us? It was Bai Ying who saved us! If it weren't for Bai Ying, we would have been dead long ago!"
"Yes! Bai Ying saved us."
These people were all incredulous. "What did you say?"
Even Su Yu was stunned. He murmured, "If it wasn't Bai Ying who harmed you, then who was it?"
As he spoke, he turned to look at Bai Ying, a sudden, indescribable fear gripping his heart.
Could it really not be Bai Ying?
He couldn't believe that Bai Ying was right.
Then wouldn't he be slandering her?
Su Yu stared intently into Bai Ying's eyes, wanting to see a hint of chill in them.
But now, Bai Ying just looked at him with a mocking expression, without even a trace of chill in her heart.
Su Yu suddenly panicked. Did this mean that he had once misunderstood Bai Ying, just like he was now?
With so many misunderstandings, Bai Ying no longer even felt heartbroken.
Su Yu was still muttering to himself, "Who could it be?"
Actually, he would rather be Bai Ying; he didn't want to be wrong at all.
It should be white.
"Who else could it be?" Wang Miaomiao was the first to step forward. "Isn't it your most innocent junior sister in the whole world?"
"Nonsense!"
Su Yu shouted emotionally, "Do you think I'm stupid? Let me tell you, Lingxiao Sect, don't make false accusations! My junior sister has information on Youying Valley. She already knows the effects of the Beast-Attracting Grass. There's no way she would have brought it here!"
"It was Ruan Xinrou!" someone else stepped forward. He said indignantly, "She's the one who gave us the Beast-Attracting Grass. It was Bai Ying who reminded us that it was Beast-Attracting Grass. At that time, we didn't believe Bai Ying and watched helplessly as the Beast-Attracting Grass attracted a large number of demonic beasts. She harmed all of us!"
The man spoke while crying, and he still hasn't been able to get over the trauma from the past.
"That was terrifying! Those monsters... I almost died. If Bai Ying hadn't appeared in time to save us, none of us would have survived!"
Su Yu kept shaking his head.
I don't believe a single word he says.
Impossible... Junior Sister has the information! She wouldn't do such a thing.
Su Yu suddenly realized something and burst out laughing.
He said to the group of people in front of him, "I know, you're all in cahoots. You're trying to slander my junior sister."
Tell me, did Bai Ying tell you to do this?
I knew it; she hated my junior sister the most.
I never imagined she could even teach you such a way of speaking.
That's so vicious!
The more Su Yu thought about it, the more he felt it should be so.
Otherwise, how could he explain that this group of people were actually blaming all the blame on his junior sister?
As he spoke, Su Yu said to the people around him, "You must not believe what they say. It's all a lie; they must have received bribes."
Then he shouted at Bai Ying again, "Bai Ying! Aren't you going to admit your mistake!"
This was unbelievable not only to the people behind Bai Ying, but also to Qin Zijin.
Faced with reality, Su Yu still speaks up for Ruan Xinrou. Has he gone mad?
Qin Zijing said to Su Yu with some disappointment, "Senior Brother, it is indeed Junior Sister."
You suspect they were colluded with Bai Ying, but do you also suspect me? I know everything that happened back then.
My junior sister not only attracted a large number of demonic beasts, but she even pushed me into the horde when I went to rescue her. If Bai Ying hadn't appeared in time, you really wouldn't be seeing me again.
Su Yu was completely stunned.
He felt like his head was about to explode.
"How could that be? How could this be? Junior Sister has information on Shadow Valley."
He kept repeating those words. Even now, he still refuses to believe it.
A bitter smile appeared on Qin Zijing's lips: "What if she didn't even look at it?"
Su Yu froze for a moment, then turned his head sharply, staring intently at Ruan Xinrou.
Ruan Xinrou was already pale with fear, and her whole body was trembling uncontrollably.
Looking at her like this, Su Yu understood everything. His heart sank lower and lower.
"It really is you!"
"I'm...I'm sorry..."
Ruan Xinrou burst into tears.
“I didn’t know it would be like this… I thought those herbs were very good spiritual herbs, and I just wanted to share good things with everyone.”
