Chapter 366: Chapter 367: Ye Wuchen’s Return (Part 10)
He only knew that as soon as he had returned to the Academy, he heard people discussing a group of Martial Hall disciples looking for trouble with Xiao Ruyue. When Mu Ruyue entered the Xiao Family, she was given the Xiao surname; wasn’t Xiao Ruyue referring to Muer?
Thus, he had come here with just a glimmer of hope, and to his surprise, she had indeed come to Central State Academy.
However, the first thing he saw when he arrived was his beloved wife tenderly wiping another man’s hands, with such gentle earnestness that it set off waves of a sour sensation in the depths of his heart…
“What happened?” Ye Wuchen’s purple eyes flashed with a devilish light, sweeping over those pale-faced disciples before pausing momentarily on Lin Ruoying, the chilling air in his gaze growing even more intense.
Lin Ruoying bit her lip tightly, her face pallid as she looked at the man as noble as the Shura God, radiant and powerful.
Everyone at the Academy thought she had a good relationship with Ye Wuchen, and she even claimed to be his friend. She was set to marry him by her master’s arrangement, but only Lin Ruoying knew that this man had never paid much attention to her, which was why she was desperate to do something to move his heart.
Whether it was helping Mu Ruyue in the past or now intending to kill her, everything was for this man.
Yet…
Remembering what the man had said just a moment ago, Lin Ruoying’s whole heart began to tremble.
How could this woman possibly be his wife? A man as honored as he, as powerful as he, as devilishly charming as he—how could such a perfect man marry so quickly?
She truly couldn’t believe it, nor did she want to!
And if he really had a wife, then what chance would she ever have?
At that instant, the hearts of all the women trembled, their envious gazes fiercely fixed on Mu Ruyue, as if they wished to tear her apart with their eyes. But more than jealousy, what they felt was fear.
Who was it that said Ye Wuchen didn’t like this woman who shamelessly clung to him?
And who was it that said this woman stripped to tempt Ye Wuchen and even used an aphrodisiac to try to get him into bed? They were clearly husband and wife, was there any need for temptation or drugs? Seeing as they were a married couple, and had even consummated their marriage, wasn’t it normal for this woman to no longer be a virgin? And yet they slandered her, claiming she lost herself to debauchery and was unclear with numerous men.
With Ye Wuchen’s high standards, how could he possibly marry a woman of easy virtue?
In an instant, all the glares turned angrily towards Zang Qingxue, who had long since fainted…
Even Zang Qingxue could not have anticipated that her plan was so close to fruition when, unexpectedly, Ye Wuchen returned to the Academy. His return spelled the imminent collapse of her lies.
“What happened?” Zi Qianjing sneered, his handsome face flashing with a cold murderous intent, “Wouldn’t it be clearer to ask them? These women insulted her, said you found her insufferably annoying and detested her to the extreme. Yet she kept clinging to you, making herself unbearable. They also claimed she fell into debauchery with countless men, fantasizing about stripping to seduce you, and even wanted to use an aphrodisiac on you…”
The joy of reuniting with Mu Ruyue slowly faded from Ye Wuchen’s eyes, and he fixed his gaze on the terrified faces of those women, his presence suddenly enveloped with a bone-chilling aura.
“Who said that?”
“It was her,” Zi Qianjing raised his eyebrows and smirked, pointing at Zang Qingxue, who had fainted on the ground, then turned his gaze towards Lin Ruoying, angrily saying, “And this woman here, who claims to be your friend, yet speaks with the authority of a mistress. At first thinking… thinking she was your friend, I intended to take care of her to help you share the burden, but is she actually your burden? After listening to Zang Qingxue’s words, she has drawn so many people here, all in the name of helping you and has even contemplated killing her.”
At this moment, Zi Qianjing completely appeared like a child tattling to his father, his expression filled with grievance and anger…
