Lu Xingchen was in a low mood. He did not have any prejudice against homosexuals, but being mistaken for one by others and being pointed at and talked about was another matter.
These rumors spread as fast as a violent storm, and their spread was so rapid that they spread throughout the entire sect in almost an instant.
In this world, people have always found it difficult to accept such things. After the news spread so widely, his former friends also avoided him, fearing that Lu Xingchen would develop other feelings for them.
Lu Xingchen was helpless. Even though he wanted to clarify, the speed of clarification lagged far behind the speed of rumor spread, and he was powerless to reverse the situation.
Therefore, he had to become increasingly solitary, cultivating alone, carrying out missions alone, and practicing swordplay alone...
Lu Xingchen wanted to find out the source of the rumor. Although the rumor had already spread widely at this time, he still wanted to find the initiator and see who treated him so maliciously.
Later, he got a clue that the rumor came from those who admired He Lanzhi because they were jealous of him being so close to He Lanzhi.
Although Lu Xingchen felt that this matter was extremely absurd, he still looked for those people one by one.
After they were subdued and asked the reason, one of them hesitated and finally claimed that it was He Lanzhi who instructed them to spread the rumor.
Lu Xingchen naturally didn't believe it. How could He Lanzhi be so boring?
Moreover, the other rumormongers all said that they were spreading rumors out of jealousy and intended to damage his reputation, which was consistent with the clues he obtained.
He guessed that the man said this just to shirk responsibility and prevent Lu Xingchen from holding a grudge against him.
But once the seed of doubt was planted, it took root and sprouted in his heart. Although he believed that it was not He Lanzhi who spread the news, that person's voice kept echoing in his mind.
In the end, he decided to ask He Lanzhi alone, hoping to get a definite answer from him.
As long as He Lanzhi flatly denied it, he would stop thinking about it and focus on his cultivation.
Thinking this, he took action to ask.
He Lanzhi hadn't heard Lu Xingchen talk to her in such a calm tone in a long time. Before, he was either angry or had other emotions...
Lu Xingchen looked at him with a firm gaze and asked solemnly, "Fox, I heard some rumors that you spread the rumor that I'm gay. Is this true?"
When He Lanzhi heard this, she felt a pang of pain in her heart. Although he was not the one who spread the rumor, it was indeed caused by him. He really let Xingxing down.
However, if it was not his doing, he had to firmly deny it and not let Xingxing's impression of him get worse.
He Lanzhi was about to speak, but suddenly her mind recalled what Helan Yanli had said before, so she closed her lips tightly again, then changed her attitude, raised the corners of her mouth, and admitted with a smile: "Yes, you are right, it was me who did it."
Lu Xingchen's pupils dilated instantly and he was shocked. He had originally come here just to inquire and just wanted to hear him deny it in person to put his mind at ease. He never expected that he would admit it.
This was absolutely ridiculous. Why would He Lanzhi do this? What was her motivation? Was it just because she thought it was fun?
He asked again unwillingly: "Really?"
He Lanzhi nodded: "Really."
Lu Xingchen has always been a straightforward person. When he has doubts in his heart, he will ask directly: "Then why do you do this?"
He Lanzhi showed a nonchalant smile:
"Because it's fun. You're one of my targets. Before I get you and play with you, you can't belong to anyone else. So I can only ruin your reputation first to make you behave yourself."
Lu Xingchen was a little angry. It turned out that it was really for fun...
Lu Xingchen, Lu Xingchen, you are so stupid that you still have a trace of kindness towards him in your heart, thinking that he would not act like this.
He subconsciously wanted to draw his sword, but he felt that it would be a waste of time to fight with this bastard. He had already got the answer anyway. Although this answer was very different from his guess, there was no need to stay here since he already knew it.
So he quickly flew away on his sword, completely ignoring the extremely lonely figure after he left.
He Lanzhi sighed deeply. What Helan Yanli said was true. Whether for the sake of his plan, himself, or the stars, the best thing to do now was to keep the stars away from him.
But if it was just an ordinary matter, based on Xingxing's personality, he would never give up on me completely.
Now is a great time, a great time to push the stars even further.
He Lanzhi was heartbroken. He knew very well that even if his plan succeeded and he ascended to the position of the head of the family, he would no longer have to pretend to be himself. After explaining the reasons to Xingxing, Xingxing would never forgive him. He had already lost the qualifications to be with Xingxing.
