"Dignity?" Mu Ruyue’s smile was faint, "Even though Xiao Yue is only a Demon Beast, she is still a woman. Your Dongfang Family collectively attacked her, causing her severe injuries, preventing her from reverting to her human form. And you, out of cowardice, just watched with indifference. Why didn’t you show any of that so-called dignity then?"
Snap!
Dongfang Jun’s fingers clenched suddenly, shattering the porcelain he held in his hands. His face darkened as his cold gaze swept over the woman’s smiling visage.
"Sister Xiao Yue?" Nangong Zilan was taken aback, "Brother Jun, didn’t you say that Sister Xiao Yue left the Dongfang Family of her own accord? What does this lady an?"
The Dongfang Family had banded together and gravely injured Sister Xiao Yue?
How could that be possible?
Brother Jun is such a kind and gentle person, how could he stand by and watch Sister Xiao Yue get hurt by those people? Besides, they used to be so close, and Brother Jun had said that he treated Xiao Yue like his own sister, so how could he not help her?
Nangong Zilan was sowhat confused.
But the way this lady spoke, her expressions and tone, it didn’t seem like she was lying.
"Zilan, don’t listen to her nonsense," Dongfang Jun glared fiercely at Mu Ruyue, then turned and took Nangong Zilan’s hand, "You must believe , our Dongfang Family would never do such a thing."
Nangong Zilan bit her lip; she was deeply in love with Brother Jun, and so, wanted to believe him once more...
"Heh!"
A low chuckle ca through.
Ouyang Yunjin’s lips curled in scorn, disdain flashing through his eyes, "Lady Nangong, I can confirm what Miss Mu said. The injured Xiao Yue was picked up by our Ouyang Family, and she was at death’s door. It was only through her strong will that she managed to survive from the edge of death."
If Nangong Zilan couldn’t trust Mu Ruyue because she didn’t know her well, she certainly knew what kind of person Ouyang Yunjin was.
This man simply had no need to lie; what she said was most likely true.
Recalling Xiao Yue’s attitude towards Dongfang Jun, Nangong Zilan’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Xiao Yue’s departure was really due to being hard by the Dongfang Family?
She hesitated.
Brother Jun had always been kind, gentle, and full of manly courage. For her sake, he had braved the depths of the Demon Beast Ridge and captured Little White Tiger. It was because of his bravery that she was touched and fell in love with him.
But how could the sa Brother Jun just stand by and watch as Xiao Yue was injured without feeling any compassion?
After all, Nangong Zilan was still too naive.
Little White Tiger was in the depths of Demon Beast Ridge, but it didn’t necessarily require Dongfang Jun to take action personally. He just needed to spend a certain amount of manpower to enter the forest; then, by pretending to be gravely injured while capturing Little White Tiger, he easily moved Nangong Zilan’s heart...
Perhaps it was her very innocence that made Xiao Yue rather friendly towards her. They had t in the Dongfang Family and got along quite well. During the ti Xiao Yue was away, Nangong Zilan often visited the Dongfang Family to inquire about her.
"Brother Jun, is Sister Xiao Yue’s departure really related to the Dongfang Family?" Nangong Zilan’s eyelashes fluttered, her cute, big eyes gazing intently at Dongfang Jun.
Dongfang Jun’s heart grew anxious, "Zilan, I really didn’t! How could I hurt her when my relationship with Xiao Yue was so good?"
"Is that so?" Nangong Zilan smiled sweetly, her eyes bending into crescents.
This ti, she didn’t say she would continue to believe him, but seeing her smile, Dongfang Jun slowly breathed a sigh of relief...
