He knew what she was laughing at—laughing at him for calling her "girl."
That kiss lingered in his mind, and he simply couldn't bring himself to call her his apprentice anymore.
There was a tacit understanding between the two that didn't need words. Shenji was unaware of it, but the girls watching around them had already noticed it.
Before they could recover from the joy of Shenji calling Linghu Lan "Miss", they were already annoyed by the complicated and tangled relationship between the two.
They were now 100% certain that there was an affair between the two men, and a wave of despair washed over them!
Linghu Lan's eyes were sharp as she glanced around and said loudly, "Sect Leader Ying, you attacked me before I could finish speaking. Are you afraid I will reveal the truth?"
Yinghua shifted his gaze from Shenji to Linghu Lan, a hint of longing in his eyes.
He carefully examined Linghu Lan from head to toe. He could see some resemblance to his junior sister in Linghu Lan, but she was more like Liang Xiaobai, so repulsive.
He glanced at the whispering crowd, his eyes cold, and said in a chilling voice, "Speak if you want to, I'm here to listen."
Linghu Lan chuckled lightly. Yinghua must have already consolidated his cultivation to be so fearless. However, with Shenji by his side, he dared not act rashly.
"What I'm saying is that the junior sister you keep talking about is the one you killed, and the Dream Spirit Island you wanted to uphold justice on is the one you destroyed. Shadow Sect Master, you're quite the smooth operator at crying 'stop thief'!"
"Heh!" Yinghua sneered, unmoved.
The members of the Thousand Shadows Sect, however, had already begun to shout and curse.
"Pah! You witch, all you do is spread lies and deceive the public. You claim to be a descendant of Dream Spirit Island, where's your proof?"
"It must be that the Divine Compassion Palace covets the position of the number one sect of my Thousand Shadows Sect, so they deliberately framed me like this. Their intentions are truly vicious."
"Indeed! The world is a dangerous place; when will peace ever return!"
Linghu Lan smiled gently, like a breeze that soothed the mind and body. She said with a smile, "The proof is my innate ability to enter dreams. Dream Spirit Island is famous for its illusions. If I were not a descendant of Dream Spirit Island, how could I have such an ability? And how could the amethyst be in my hands?"
"Even if you are a descendant of Dream Spirit Island, my master is your senior uncle. He has worked hard for Dream Spirit Island. How dare you disrespect him and smear the destruction of Dream Spirit Island on my master? Your scheming and viciousness are so deep that you should have been executed according to the rules of my Thousand Shadows Sect long ago. My master is of noble status and does not wish to argue with you, but I am not someone to be trifled with. I will kill you today to avenge my master."
The speaker was the current sect leader of the Thousand Shadows Sect. He had been taken in as a disciple by Yinghua many years ago and considered himself to know Yinghua's character well. Recalling his master's sudden seclusion, he was already 80% certain that his master had destroyed Dream Spirit Island.
Now that Linghu Lan has exposed him, for the sake of Qianying Sect and his master's reputation, he has no choice but to step forward and kill Linghu Lan, so that the truth can be buried forever.
Linghu Lan sneered, "Senior Uncle? I dare not have such a senior uncle. I am the wife of the Palace Master of Shenci Palace. What virtue or ability does the Shadow Sect Master have to be my senior uncle? Although the Thousand Shadow Sect has many disciples, my Shenci Palace is upright and honest, and dares not compare with the Thousand Shadow Sect. Why do you want to kill me to silence me at the drop of a hat? Even a cult does not kill people at the drop of a hat. Is your Thousand Shadow Sect more evil than a cult?"
