She was only speaking a fair word for this gentleman, how could that be her fault?
"Young girl, even if you’ve taken a fancy to this gentleman, you shouldn’t do such a thing. His wife is pregnant; if she gets too upset because of you, how would you compensate them?"
"Tsk, tsk, maybe she wants the wife to be upset, so she can replace her imdiately?"
"How the world has declined, how did people’s hearts beco like this?"
In front of them, several alchemists chid in one after another about the young girl, making her blush and almost run away.
But she wasn’t willing to give up. Why was everyone speaking for a pregnant woman who insisted on risking her husband’s safety by going into the Haikuo Forest? Was she not charming enough?
"I have taken a fancy to this gentleman, so what? I’m looking out for him, too. Look at her, a pregnant woman, why does she have to drag her man on such a dangerous adventure in the Haikuo Forest? Isn’t that just asking for trouble?
If she wants to court disaster, why drag him down? She should just put herself in harm’s way!"
"You—"
Hearing the word "die," Sui Zimo’s hand moved, and a surge of power shot out.
The next mont, the young girl was blown away, slamming into a pillar before collapsing on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Among the crowd, all the alchemists watched her fall, yet none stepped up to help, for everyone knew just how venomous she must have been to deserve such a hit.
It was her own fault, and no one else’s.
"Pfft."
The young girl spat out a mouthful of blood, lying on the ground. She looked up in disbelief at the man who struck her.
She thought the man should have had feelings for her; after all, she was so striking, like a flower, how could he bear to lay a hand on her?
"You... you actually hit ?"
Her eyes filled with endless pain, staring at Sui Zimo.
It was as if she was the rightful one for Sui Zimo, and Lin Caisang was the third party standing beside her husband.
"If another word of insult against my wife escapes your lips, I will take your life!"
Sui Zimo’s cold voice warned her, did she really think his tolerance was due to her worth?
If not for avoiding unnecessary trouble in the Hongye Pavilion, this petty instigator wouldn’t have been allowed to spread falsehoods and taint his wife’s reputation!
"You—"
Upon hearing his words, tears stread down the young girl’s face.
"Sigh, what is this about, how did such a girl even end up at Hongye Pavilion?"
The alchemists looked at the young girl, even after being hit, she didn’t realize her mistake; it almost seed like she thought it was the couple at fault.
Everyone felt helpless and didn’t know what to say.
"Make way, make way, everyone move."
Suddenly, a rough voice erged from not far away, parting the alchemists, revealing the girl on the ground after being struck.
"Suo’er, what happened? Who bullied you? Tell , and I’ll take revenge for you!"
A man, accompanied by a few companions, rushed over and helped Suo’er up, patting his chest as he spoke to her.
