The feather drifted towards Lu Qingsi, passing Lu Ming and Rong Xu, before finally landing beside her.
The light above dimmed from silvery-white, and finally turned to ashes amidst the swirling black mist.
Lu Qingsi's heart was pounding, and her drooping fingers trembled uncontrollably.
How could this be? How could this be?
I remember when I first got it, I didn't have such a violent reaction as today. Why did it fly towards me the moment Zhao Chongjing took it out, turning to ashes amidst black mist right before everyone's eyes? It's as if it's telling everyone that I am that monster, the monster that killed and devoured many souls...
Lu Qingsi had no idea.
Zhao Chongguang laughed triumphantly: "Lu Qingsi, what do you have to say now that things have come to this? Do you dare to say that we have wronged you? You are clearly a demon, yet you married Rong Xu and Shangyuan Sect under the name of Fumeng Sect. Was it you who plotted behind the scenes, or was it a conspiracy by Fumeng Sect?"
In just a few words, the conversation had already drifted to the Floating Dream Sect.
Lu Ming was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected Lu Qingsi to react to the magical artifact at this moment, revealing to everyone that she was not human, but a demon.
Lu Qingsi forced herself to remain calm: "This matter has nothing to do with the Floating Dream Sect, and your Heavenly Gate cannot be so arbitrary!"
“Lu Qingsi, if we had no evidence, would we be making things up here?” Zhao Chongguang said, as if everything was under his control.
The elder wielding the sword closed his eyes briefly: "There was nothing wrong with that magical artifact just now. Lu Qingsi, what else do you have to say?"
The way everyone looked at Lu Qingsi changed instantly; before, it was envy and admiration, but now it was disgust and contempt.
Under everyone's gaze, Lu Qingsi felt a sharp pain in her heart.
Rong Xu slowly drew his sword and pointed it at Lu Qingsi: "Did you kill all those people?"
Lu Qingsi's heart skipped a beat: "Rong Xu, you don't believe me?"
She spoke in an extremely calm tone, clutching her clothes tightly with both hands. After asking the question, she gradually relaxed her grip.
“The evidence is irrefutable,” Rong Xu said, a flicker of pity crossing his eyes as he looked at Lu Qingsi: “Qingsi, why did you lie to me?”
"Hahaha..." Lu Qingsi laughed loudly, tears welling up in her eyes: "Rong Xu, what did I lie to you about? How come I don't know anything about it?"
"This isn't true! Qingsi is my sister, not a demon. You must be framing her here!" Lu Ming shouted, completely disbelieving the scene these people were showing.
After all, she hadn't reacted when she held that thing before, so how could the same thing being taken from Zhao Chongjing's hands now become evidence of Lu Qingsi's demonic identity? Lu Qingsi was someone his mother had brought home as a baby, and he had watched her grow up day by day, treating her like his own sister. Now, to tell him that Lu Qingsi didn't exist at all, but was just a demon—how could that be?
"Lu Ming, I naturally believe that you and Lu Qingsi are not birds of a feather. But you should see reality clearly; you've just been deceived." Zhao Chongguang was gloating, and everyone could hear the glee in his tone.
"Get out of here, stop your crocodile tears," Lu Ming pushed away Zhao Chongguang, who was approaching, and glared at him hatefully: "This is all your conspiracy, Qing Si is innocent."
