Given the fact that Bai Yusu was struck by lightning for "telling lies," it basically confirms that Shang Xiye could not possibly be Mo Linxian.
Even after someone later discovered that Shang Xiye really did look exactly like Mo Linxian, no one had such thoughts anymore.
After all, in the minds of cultivators, the Heavenly Tribulation is an authority; how could the Heavenly Tribulation be wrong?
Heavenly Tribulation Baby: "???"
Xue Bingling knew what was going on, but she kept her lips tightly pressed together and didn't dare to say a word in defense of Bai Yusu.
Under the scrutinizing gazes of Cao Xiaosi and the other onlookers, Xue Bingling hastily got up and fled.
Cao Xiaosi watched Xue Bingling's figure disappear with a hint of regret, then turned to the onlookers in the teahouse and said, "That girl is quite beautiful, but I didn't expect her to be such a gossip. You really can't judge a book by its cover!"
"Yes, yes, it must be because they are too jealous of Fairy Yun Yao."
"Women's jealousy is truly terrifying."
"On another note, although the rules set by Fairy Yunyao this time have been criticized by many, they are indeed friendly to rogue cultivators..."
Although the discussions in the teahouse focused on Ji Fengyao, they were all developing in a positive direction.
Cao Xiaosi had achieved his goal, and after sitting for a while longer, he got up and left.
Upon returning to the Pill Sect and meeting with Ji Fengyao and the others, he recounted the incident.
The magpie was so angry that it immediately rushed down the mountain to confront Xue Bingling: "That shameless vixen actually chased me all the way here! I'll find someone to teach her a lesson right now, and I'll pluck out her fox tails to make a scarf!"
"You can't go now," Cao Xiaosi quickly stopped her.
"What? They've bullied my young lady, and you're still going to side with them?" Xi Que became furious, even wanting to punch Cao Xiao Si.
Cao Xiaosi shrank back in fright, speechless for a moment:
This girl is so violent!
Luckily, Brother Wuhen has a good temper; otherwise, how could he have put up with this girl's short temper?
“Brother Cao is right, Miss Xique, you really can’t go now,” An Zijin quickly stepped forward to persuade her. “Bai Yusu was just tricked by Brother Cao into thinking she was struck by lightning. Everyone already believes that she was struck by lightning because she was lying.”
If you go to settle accounts with that vixen now, it will make our young lady seem petty;
Secondly, if that vixen were to turn on us and bite us back, it would be a sign of our guilty conscience, and wouldn't all of Brother Cao's efforts have been wasted.
“I’m not exactly a magnanimous person. Since she’s come looking for trouble time and time again, if I don’t go and deal with her, she’ll think I’m weak and easy to bully.” Ji Fengyao picked up where An Zijin left off and said, “But it’s really not appropriate to go now. If we’re going, we should choose a dark and windy night and do it quietly. After all, snow fox pelts are quite rare, and it will take some time to peel them.”
"Miss is awesome! Then let's wait until tonight!" Magpie jumped up and cheered.
Cao Xiaosi: "..."
An Zijin: "..."
Alright, we've been meddling. You two are the real masters and servants. Farewell!
At the Jin Fu Inn in Tongcheng, Xue Bingling sat quietly at the table, lost in thought.
The image of Bai Yusu being struck by lightning and charred was so shocking that she still feels lingering fear.
She carefully considered the events leading up to and following their encounter with Cao Xiaosi. Although she wasn't 100% certain that Cao Xiaosi was one of the bandits, she felt that the contrast between Cao Xiaosi's behavior in the teahouse and his behavior in front of the auction house was too great, which was very suspicious.
This made Xue Bingling uneasy, and she always felt a sense of crisis.
