What Do You Call a Benevolent and Reasonable Person in Xianxia? An Impossibility! (BTTH) Chapter 92: Disbelief and Suspicion

After putting away the dicine cauldron, Xiao Yan settled the bill and prepared to take his leave.

Just then, a rcenary rushed into the Myriad dicines Hall and quickly called out to Boss Yao.

Boss Yao! Sothing has happened!

Hmm? What happened?

Boss Yao frowned slightly, and the rcenary, catching his breath, scanned the hall before turning to Boss Yao and asking.

Wheres Xiao Yixian?

Oh, shes in Boss Yao was about to answer when Xiao Yixian erged from the kitchen, looking puzzled.

Whats going on?

Xiao Yixian! Theres trouble for you! The rcenary hurriedly spoke as he saw her, Theres a rumor spreading in town that you killed mbers of the Wolf Head rcenary Company for treasure!

Huh? Who said that?

Xiao Yixian was taken aback, and the rcenary shook his head.

I dont know. Suddenly, everyone in town started spreading it, but Im not sure who started it.

Hearing the rcenarys words, Xiao Yans face suddenly turned cold, and both Xiao Yixian and Boss Yao also looked extrely displeased.

Without a doubt, this rumor must have originated from the Wolf Head rcenary Company.

Thats just great It seems I underestimated Mu Lis shalessness Xiao Yixian muttered coldly, lowering her evaluation of Mu Li to its lowest point.

How could a man be so shaless?!

Dont worry! Xiao Yixian said sternly, her eyes showing no fear, I have a clear conscience in what I do! The Wolf Head rcenary Company deserves it! Lets see if the people in town believe or that rumor!

Xiao Yixian was confident; she had great influence in Qingshan Town, and at the very least, she had the highest reputation there!

This kind of rumor would have no impact on her; no one would believe it!

However, despite Xiao Yixians confidence, Boss Yao furrowed his brow and said in a serious tone, No, Xianer, you cant ignore it. You must find a way to explain.

Boss Yaos words made Xiao Yixian frown, and she glared at him with displeasure.

Boss Yao! Do you think the people in town will believe such a rumor?!

I absolutely believe in Xiao Yixian! The rcenary imdiately raised his hand to express his stance.

However, Boss Yao sighed lightly and looked at Xiao Yixian seriously.

Xianer, whether the residents believe you or not is not the most important thing at the mont. Whats important is whether they will have doubts about you.

Whats the difference? Xiao Yixian asked with a serious expression, not understanding the distinction between the two.

Doubt is like a seed, and its more deadly than disbelief, Xiao Yan interjected coldly, clenching his fists with a sinister look in his black eyes. The purpose of this rumor isnt to make everyone believe it imdiately, but to sow doubt in their minds about you.

Your past actions wont make everyone believe this rumor, but peoples psychology will still experience a slight uncertainty.

Is it possible that their doubt would made them think sothing like, Xiao Yixian is really this kind of person, or Maybe she was pretending all along, and Maybe we misunderstood her in the past.'

Such doubts will erge in peoples minds because of this rumor, and its inevitable.

If we allow this rumor to continue to fernt, when the ti is right, the Wolf Head rcenary Company will gradually release more unfavorable information about you, such as the rcenaries who really died yesterday in the group you were with. By then, peoples trust in you will inevitably lean towards disbelief.

Xiao Yan is right, Boss Yao highly agreed with Xiao Yans words, looking at Xiao Yixian and said, If you ignore this now, when the Wolf Head rcenary Company presents so-called evidence later, you will truly have no way to defend yourself.

But this is what I usually do

Xiao Yans words left Xiao Yixian stunned for a mont. She wanted to say sothing, but Boss Yao interrupted her.

Xianer, you cant expect everyone to be able to clearly distinguish right from wrong. Most people are just ordinary folks, and its natural for them to have doubts due to rumors.

Boss Yao spoke seriously, and Xiao Yixian fell silent at last.

Boss Yao was right; most people were just ordinary folks. She couldnt expect everyone to be as discerning as a keen judge. If it were that easy, rumors wouldnt have spread in the first place.

So, what should I do now? Should I go out and explain imdiately? Xiao Yixian asked, her palms raised in a questioning manner. But if I explain now, it will only make look guilty. Isnt it better to not explain at all?

Upon hearing Xiao Yixians words, Boss Yao also furrowed his brow with distress.

Regardless of the truth of the matter, the current fact was that the only survivor among the Wolf Head rcenary Company who accompanied Xiao Yixian was Mu Li, and she indeed had acquired a large amount of treasure that matched the description of the rumor.

If Xiao Yixian were to tell the truth about what happened in the Magic Beast Mountain to the residents of Qingshan Town and reveal the actions of Mu Li and his subordinates, everyone would undoubtedly stand on her side without any doubt.

However, it was already too late for that now.

The preemptive strike by the Wolf Head rcenary Company left Xiao Yixian completely in a passive position. Even if she revealed the truth now, everyone would simply consider her trying to twist the facts.

As Xiao Yixian had said, no matter what she said now, it would be futile.

Just as Boss Yao felt at a loss, Xiao Yan suddenly stood up and spoke to him.

Boss Yao, Ill take my leave now.

Hmm?

Boss Yao was suddenly taken aback, and before he could respond, Xiao Yan had turned and left the Myriad dicines Hall. Boss Yao hurriedly chased after him, shouting in a panic.

Xiao Yan! Co back!

However, by the ti Boss Yao caught up and looked at the bustling crowd on the street, Xiao Yans figure was nowhere to be found.

That kid

Boss Yao murmured with so unwillingness, and Xiao Yixian suddenly understood sothing, her beautiful eyes tightly furrowed.

Boss Yao, does Xiao Yan intend to

Ah Its likely Boss Yao covered half of his face, filled with guilt.

If it were soone else, leaving at this ti might have been to avoid being involved in trouble. After all, the rumor only ntioned Xiao Yixian and didnt implicate others.

But Boss Yao knew very well that Xiao Yan wasnt that kind of person.

Therefore, if Xiao Yan chose to leave at this ti, there could only be one reason.

He wanted to shoulder the bla all by himself
