"It was clearly your son who ran too fast and bumped into someone, yet you're blaming it on someone else. Your son wasn't hurt at all; he just cried a lot, but he's fine now. Putting that aside, why did you bring up someone else's appearance? Shouldn't you apologize to her?" Lu Ming said loudly.
He could see clearly that after the woman said "ugly people are always up to no good," many people around Lu Qingsi looked at her with malice or mockery.
This was something Lu Ming could not tolerate, so he immediately spoke up, wanting to seek justice for Lu Qingsi.
Appearance is something you are born with, and Lu Qingsi can't decide what she will look like, so why do these people make fun of her just because of her face?
Lu Ming originally seemed like a very honest and easy-going person, but now, when he put on a stern face, he had a certain air of authority. In addition, since he was a cultivator, he had an inexplicable aura that could instill the most instinctive fear in ordinary people.
The woman and the onlookers scattered like birds the moment they saw Lu Ming. Lu Ming was pushed aside by them, but he couldn't retaliate against them.
Before long, only the two of them remained on the street.
“Qing Si,” Lu Ming looked at her with pity.
"Brother, I'm fine." Lu Qingsi smiled, as if she hadn't taken those words to heart.
She reached out and touched her face, and it seemed as if the green grass was coming to life and moved on her face.
She remembered the pills her master had left her to remove her birthmark, but in the end, she didn't take them.
It's just a face, is it really that scary in their eyes? Lu Qingsi knew that the child who bumped into her probably wasn't crying because he fell, but probably because he was frightened by her face.
Ha, it's actually quite funny when you think about it.
Although she hadn't taken any pills, Lu Qingsi still put on a veil to cover her face.
Lu Ming didn't say anything about it.
He felt that no matter what he said to her now, it would be like reopening her wounds.
"Brother, let's hurry over to the secret realm. There's no need to worry about this." Lu Qingsi smiled, seemingly unconcerned.
Lu Ming had no choice but to agree: "Okay, I won't leave. I'll ignore them."
With the curtains providing cover, the malicious gazes directed at Lu Qingsi lessened considerably. Before they knew it, they had arrived at a small town.
There weren't many people in the town, and even fewer people set up stalls. Most of them unconsciously wore expressions of worry on their faces.
"Brother, why does everyone look unhappy?" Lu Qingsi asked Lu Ming, wondering what had happened between them.
"What happened?" Lu Qingsi ran up to someone and asked, "You all seem very unhappy."
The townspeople said, "What's there to be happy about? Our town has suffered a terrible misfortune, what's there to be happy about?"
Lu Qingsi listened quietly as he recounted those old stories: "These things in town started two years ago. At that time, a great beauty came to our town, and many of our men were infatuated with her. At first, we didn't think there was anything wrong with it, after all, the woman was indeed very beautiful. But gradually, everyone noticed that anyone who got involved with that woman became weaker and weaker, and eventually died. That scared everyone so much that no one dared to approach her anymore."
"And then?" Lu Qingsi pressed.
