Chapter 1530: Chapter 1527: What If I Insist on Entering?

Hearing Xu Wendong’s words.

Wang Tong and Zhen Jing both felt a sudden shiver run through their hearts, a chilling sensation that seemed to pierce their very souls, making them feel a sense of dread upon reflection.

They never dreamed it was possible.

That Xu Wendong could so easily see through their ”Borrow a Knife to Kill Someone” scheme.

There was no denying it.

This guy’s depth of character was truly terrifying, sending chills down one’s spine.

Si Yao’s eyes were cold as a knife: ”Xu, don’t try to twist words and force logic; I only believe what I see!”

Xu Wendong shook his head indifferently: ”Is what you see really the truth?”

”Do you know that these two have conflicts with me?”

”Both want to see me dead?”

Pausing, Xu Wendong couldn’t help but say, ”If I’m not mistaken, young lady, you must have heard from others that I had excess food.”

”And then, on the way, Wang Tong pinned a lot of baseless accusations on me.”

”Like failing to save someone, or forcing a respectable woman for my pleasure.”

Si Yao snorted coldly: ”Isn’t that the truth?”

Even as she spoke,

her gaze towards Xu Wendong changed significantly, clearly not expecting him to have deduced all this.

Xu Wendong shook his head: ”I did have conflicts with them, even taking over Senior Zhen Jing’s Daoist couple, but this doesn’t make me a bad person.”

”I was merely reaching out with my abilities to help a woman on the brink of starvation, giving her food and a chance at life.”

”That’s all.”

”If you don’t believe me, I can let my sister-in-law confront you about it, though I don’t think it’s necessary since I don’t need to prove anything to you.”

”However, I still want you to know, you’ve been used by someone.” Saying this, he looked at Song Ziwei in the yard, giving her a look to signal her to come up to the roof.

Song Ziwei’s figure was light and airy, descending onto the roof like a feather.

Standing beside Xu Wendong, they together presented quite the picture of talent paired with beauty.

She gave Zhen Jing a complicated look, then turned her gaze to Si Yao, respectfully saying, ”Senior Si Yao, things are not as you understand them.”

”I willingly aligned myself with Young Master Xu; he not only saved my life but also granted me a great opportunity, helping me break through my constraints and enter the Xuanxian Realm!”

Hearing Song Ziwei’s words, Zhen Jing’s pupils dilated shockingly, his gaze reflecting disbelief: ”Dear, this isn’t how things were! Why are you speaking for Xu Wendong?”

”Because it’s the truth!” Song Ziwei’s deep eyes revealed no visible anger or joy, but inside, she felt utter disappointment with her husband, as he never came by after that incident.

Yes.

Although she also knew that they were destined not to return to the past, for Song Ziwei, even if her husband had visited her just once, she would have cherished the emotions between them.

But the result left her heart freezing!

Spurt!

Zhen Jing spewed a mouthful of crimson blood, feeling as if he aged instantly.

His gaze dimmed.

Inside, he felt utterly devastated.

Because he realized.

Not only had Xu Wendong entered his wife’s body.

He had also entered her heart.

Otherwise, how could his wife utter such words?

This was indeed more painful than death!

Xu Wendong looked at Si Yao, politely saying: ”Senior Si Yao, Wang Tong and Zhen Jing both once attempted to rob us of our supplies, but failed due to the formation, which is why they went through all the trouble to use you to get rid of us. Please open your eyes and don’t be deceived by these villains!”

Si Yao remained expressionless, but her thoughts churned within.

She began to reassess the situation at hand, recalling Wang Tong’s behavior earlier and Xu Wendong’s words along with Song Ziwei’s evidence; she finally realized she had indeed been manipulated.

At this moment,

a surge of anger rose in her heart; she had come for the sake of borrowing food, in pursuit of justice, yet almost became the tool of someone else’s scheme.

At the same time, she also gained a new understanding of Xu Wendong; while he appeared embroiled in controversy, he wasn’t as bad as Wang Tong claimed.

Moreover, he remained exceptionally calm, not showing any panic even when she confronted him boldly.

This was indeed impressive.

Regaining her composure, Si Yao looked at Wang Tong and Zhen Jing, a trace of coldness in her gaze: ”Though I am intolerant of evil, I am also not unreasonable. You two intended to use my hand to kill, such a move is truly despicable.”

”If not dealt with severely today, others may emulate it in the future, leading to even greater chaos in the city’s order.”

”Wang Tong, as the Camp Commander of the City Defense Camp, you should protect the citizens and maintain peace in the city, yet you committed such insidious acts; it’s truly disappointing.”

”Zhen Jing, you participated out of selfish desires, which is even more unforgivable.”

Si Yao slightly lifted her chin, her gaze revealing a decisive look: ”From today, Wang Tong, your position as Camp Commander is temporarily suspended. You must lead the City Defense Camp members to assist the Six Great Families in setting up porridge stations to aid the people, earning merits to compensate for your wrongdoing.”

”Any further negligence or misconduct will be severely punished.”

”Zhen Jing, you must also do a hundred days of community service in the city to serve the people, redeeming your sin today.”

”Defy, and face the consequences.”

Though Wang Tong and Zhen Jing felt dissatisfied, they dared not refute and could only bow their heads in agreement, secretly pondering ways to deal with Xu Wendong in the future.

Seeing this, Xu Wendong couldn’t help but say, ”Since Senior Si Yao came to borrow food, how can I refuse?” With that, he took out a Storage Bag and said, ”Here is ten thousand jin of Spirit Rice, consider it a gesture of goodwill from me!”

Si Yao shook her head indifferently, her voice tinged with sarcasm: ”I heard Young Master Xu has hundreds of thousands of jin of Spirit Rice, and now only takes out ten thousand jin; this is a bit stingy and tarnishes the reputation of Senior Han!”

Upon hearing this.

Xu Wendong’s mouth twitched violently, expressing displeasure: ”Who the hell is spreading rumors? My teacher left me with some Spirit Rice before going into seclusion, but it was only twenty thousand jin, okay?”

”If I had hundreds of thousands of jin of Spirit Rice, how could I possibly ignore the people’s plight?”

Si Yao frowned, surprised to learn that Xu Wendong only possessed twenty thousand jin of Spirit Rice, showing that rumors were indeed untrustworthy!

She exhaled a breath of turbid air, then looked at the formation Xu Wendong had set, her gaze turning curious and contemplative: ”The formation Young Master Xu set is indeed extraordinary, I have never seen such a intricate layout.”

”I wonder if Young Master Xu minds if I enter and comprehend the intricacies of this formation?”

Xu Wendong showed a wary look: ”Senior Si Yao is acclaimed as an expert in formations in the Underground City; your skills are well-known, so it seems unnecessary?”

Si Yao’s lips curled into a smile: ”But what if I insist on going in?”
