After Xie Tianyi left, everyone looked away, not daring to discuss it further.
Although some time ago, rumors circulated in the martial arts world that "the leader of the White Moon Cult was being controlled and that killing was not his intention."
But rumors are just rumors.
The image of the White Moon Cult Leader as a ruthless, insane, and depraved madman who enjoys killing remains deeply ingrained in people's minds.
They dared not provoke them easily, so they each took two steps back.
Si Jin didn't pay much attention to the changes around her.
He simply moved forward. After congratulating the leader of the martial arts alliance, he turned his gaze to Yao Xiaodie, whose face was veiled.
They gave each other goosebumps before turning around and sitting down with Shang Linyuan.
While glancing at Shang Qinghan, who was sitting diagonally opposite him and had come to the banquet as a "friend of Yao Xiaodie," he called out to Xiao Tongzi in his sea of consciousness.
My dear child, Yao Xiaodie's festering face hasn't healed yet, so she's wearing a veil, right?
【Yes, yes!】 Xiao Yao's eyes widened: 【I was just about to explain to you, sir, you are so clever!】
After saying that, her eyes sparkled as she continued to praise, "I feel like I'm a complete failure, I'm even embarrassed to be your manager."
It's okay, you've been a good-for-nothing for a while now.
Xiao Yao: 【(︿)】
It felt as if those words were a sharp blade, piercing its fragile little heart with a "plop".
So, she pitifully squeezed out two tears, pretended to wipe them with her little handkerchief: "Sir, I've always worked diligently, is it really okay for you to be so harsh on me?"
Let me rephrase that. Si Jin, "admitting her mistake and correcting it": After your system upgrade, you're not as useless as before.
Xiao Yao: [...]
You'd better not change it.
Alright, enough nonsense, do me a favor.
Si Jin instructed Xiao Yao to secretly slip the portrait of Yao Xiaodie, which Shang Linyuan had copied, into Shang Qinghan's clothes, leaving only a corner sticking out so that others could easily spot it.
In this way, his relationship with Yao Xiaodie can be exposed in public, leaving them nowhere to hide.
But the banquet was noisy, and many people wouldn't pay attention to it. In addition, Shang Qinghan was wearing a fitted dress, so the picture wouldn't fall off.
Having failed to complete the task, Xiao Yao scratched its head with its paw and floated back to Shang Qinghan's side.
While he was presenting a gift to the leader of the martial arts alliance, he swatted the painting away with a single paw.
The paper fluttered to the ground, finally attracting some attention.
"Qinghan, what is this?" the martial arts alliance leader asked.
Shang Qinghan was startled, as if he saw something through the folded paper, and his expression tensed up instantly.
He bent down to pick up the paper and explained, "It's just some scrap paper from my sleeve. I'm sorry for making a fool of myself in front of everyone."
However, before his hand even touched the paper, it seemed as if it had been possessed by some evil spirit, and slowly unfolded itself, gradually revealing a portrait of Yao Xiaodie.
The portrait of Yao Xiaodie is brightly dressed and has affectionate eyes; it is clearly a painting that only lovers would treasure.
Upon seeing this, everyone immediately lost their composure.
Yao Xiaodie, who was in the main seat, was even more startled. She dropped her wine glass and almost screamed out in fright.
She liked Shang Qinghan very much, and it was precisely because of this that she was even more jealous of Ling Sijin's birth mother, Gu Xinyun.
Although she was happy that Shang Qinghan was able to hide her portrait.
But if she falls at this moment, wouldn't the whole martial arts world laugh at her for being unchaste?
The once bustling lobby fell into an eerie silence the moment a portrait of a beautiful woman was unfurled.
Xiao Yao, who had just opened the painting, finally ran back to her sea of consciousness and once again shrank into her pink blanket, shivering.
[I'm still so nervous about doing something naughty for the second time~ Aww~]
