"It turns out that she is just a country bumpkin."
"A shrewd individual with a low education who causes trouble without considering the situation."
"I no longer doubt why this vicious villainess ruined the discussion today with her lawlessness."
Shenlian Yingyue listened to them calmly as she observed Di Yutong’s widened eyes.
Di Yutong felt very guilty; he hadn’t expected the situation to unfold like this.
"You guys, shut up! How can you believe the rumors so easily?" So people were furious on Shenlian Yingyue’s behalf.
They were anxious; how could she be so calm in such a situation? They rolled up their sleeves and began to argue back.
"Let them speak; I can’t sew their mouths shut," Shenlian Yingyue’s brief words successfully halted the argunt.
"But... but..." they stamred, feeling nervous. Why didn’t she care?
"I don’t mind being the antagonist in soone else’s story, as long as I am not in yours," she declared to those who were on her side.
Gasps rippled through the crowd, and a hush fell over them. What a remarkable sentint!
Everyone in the Ethereal Small World scoffed at the accusers. Look, their Yue’er, she was so admirable—these people were truly blind.
Though her comnt garnered increased admiration and appreciation from those nearby, it also attracted disdain and contempt from others. So perceived her as pretentious, while others remained indifferent, and still, so were intrigued by her. The crowd’s varied reactions elicited a spectrum of opinions, yet none of them affected her heart.
Di Xiuyu laughed. Her unpredictable smile captured everyone’s attention. They were puzzled as to why she suddenly laughed. Her reaction confused them; her unique aura and unparalleled grace drew everyone’s curiosity.
While people’s focus was on Di Xiuyu, Shenlian Yingyue successfully left the hall.
Dongfang Moqing, who was always by her side, followed her.
anwhile, Ji Fulin looked at Di Xiuyu, and she t his gaze. Their eyes t, and they seed to understand each other without words.
Ji Fulin frowned. He noticed that Jun Mu Jin was still practicing in his space, so he approached Di Xiuyu, hoping Jin’er didn’t misunderstand him.
When those who doubted Ji Fulin’s relationship with Shenlian Yingyue saw that he returned to Di Xiuyu’s side, they ceased their suspicions.
This was the reason Ji Fulin couldn’t openly side with Shenlian Yingyue. He was the royal husband of the crown princess, Di Xiuyu; he could never protect another woman in public. This would tarnish Shenlian Yingyue’s reputation.
Su Lanfei didn’t follow Shenlian Yingyue. She lowered her eyes to hide the dark emotions surging inside her.
"Don’t you follow your best friend?" Di Xiuyu smiled strangely at Su Lanfei.
"Let her be," Su Lanfei replied, her tone cold as if Shenlian Yingyue were an irrelevant person to her.
Her response made Ji Fulin narrow his eyes. But in the end, he said nothing. It wasn’t his problem; he would not care. Yet sohow, he felt dissatisfied with Su Lanfei’s reaction.
He knew of Su Lanfei through Huang Bai Xing, who had ntioned that Shenlian Yingyue and Su Lanfei were very close.
"Don’t you want to send those who bully her to hell?" Di Xiuyu’s expression was unpredictable.
’Of course, I want to send you and everyone who hurt her to hell!’ This was what she wanted to say, but the words that ca out of her mouth were, "She deserves it!"
"I didn’t choose the wrong person," Di Xiuyu said, satisfied with Su Lanfei’s ruthlessness. She nodded with a smile.
Su Lanfei’s face remained expressionless.
The faces of people in the hall darkened. Just a junior, she wasted their ti in their plan to annihilate demons.
Now, with her departure, many people rushed out after her. What were those people thinking?
"Don’t be mad; they will be back," Helan i said, gracefully enjoying her tea.

"Girl, don’t be impulsive; it’s dangerous outside. How about you wait for a while until the situation stabilizes? We will find a safe place for you," Su Bingwen urged as he rushed out to follow her. Many others tried to stop her, but she shook her head.
"I pursue the path of immortality to safeguard those I cherish and to extend my support to those in need, not to beco devoid of compassion." Her declaration left Su Bingwen, Patriarch Wei, and everyone present in astonishnt.
"I will be fine; you don’t have to worry about , seniors. Now, please excuse ; I have an urgent matter to attend to." She left before anyone could react.
------------
In fact, she didn’t go too far. Once she exited the Sacred Island, Xuan Jing instructed his people to open the barrier and let her out.
Then, he returned to the White Hall. He had wanted to follow her out of curiosity, but he had a duty to protect his people, so he couldn’t leave at that mont.
The salty sll of the sea wafted to her nose, and the cold breeze brushed against her fair skin. The raindrops that never ceased to fall made the sky seem gloomy. The sea here appeared to be the calst she had ever encountered.
The waves were not as strong as in other places. The Xuan Clan really chose a good location to build their headquarters.
Although she had been dealing with them for what felt like a long ti, it had only been ten minutes.
She didn’t see Huang Bai Xing or a group of people on the boat nearby. It seed that Huang Bai Xing had already taken them to a nearby island.
Upon receiving news from Huang Bai Xing, she felt relieved and hurried to the island.
Dongfang Moqing followed closely behind her. He didn’t disturb her but rely acted as her bodyguard.
"Can you not follow ?" She couldn’t shake him off no matter what. She stopped in midair and frowned.
"I won’t disturb you," he replied.
"No, I need my own privacy," she insisted.
"You’ll beco my wife in the future; what’s there to hide?"
Shenlian Yingyue was left speechless.
In the end, he didn’t follow her onto the island but stood at the shore and waited for her.
This island was filled with ancient trees and dangerous creatures. However, with her current strength, none of these beasts posed a threat to her, especially with everyone in the Ethereal Small World coming out to protect her.
Dongfang Moqing kept a watchful eye on her from a distance.
"Yue’er, go ahead; we’ll protect you," Shenlian Yinzhu, Zhiyi, Jun Mu Yang, and the others encouraged her.
She nodded and found a place to sit down. With her legs crossed in a lotus position, she closed her eyes and raised her slender fingers to form a strange gesture in the air.
