The Anarchic Consort (Book 1)

851-855

Not only did Ni Feng face Zhuge Yun's accusation without showing any alarm, she even shook her head gently. She heaved a long sigh, the sound of her coughing provoking pity from those around her, "So this is what you wanted to do, smear all the crimes on me and make me disappear, so that once I am gone, the shield of spiritual aura covering the Exorcist City will vanish as well. Then, you can destroy the whole Exorcist City from the inside out?" Ni Feng looked up, saying righteously, "I will never let you succeed, you provocative hostile ghosts!"

The exorcists were terrified when they heard Ni Feng's words, they could almost imagine what the scene would look like.

Some people started to riot, "We should never have given a chance for these hostile ghosts to speak."

"That's because the Young Masters of the Zhuge family and the Li family are among them. If they were someone else, we would've caught them a long time ago. These hostile ghosts are truly evil, thinking of such a method that even I almost believed them."

"Hostile ghosts are cunning by nature, they know how to read people's minds. It's already very hard for Lady Ni to deal with them, and she still has to think of ways to protect the Exorcist City, it truly is not an easy task."

Zhuge Yun listened to the people's discussion in disbelief. He could not believe his ears. He had already explained it so thoroughly, yet these people still felt that he was lying to them!

Why could they not just use their brains a little to think about it properly? Would they still be talking so much if they had been possessed by ghosts?

Maybe this was the natural instinct of human beings.

He was no exception as well.

Human beings would always force their own minds to accept matters which had a very obvious principle. They were used to being instigated by others, unwilling to spend time pondering about the truth. Despite using hurtful words to harm the ones who were actually right, they would only believe that the things they uphold were right.

There was a moment that Zhuge Yun did not know if he should feel sorry for himself or for this scene before him.

Nevertheless, he knew that he must not cower no matter what!

"Ni Feng, whether or not my words are true, you know it clearly in your heart." Zhuge Yun's eyes were clear, "Today my six comrades and I stand here and swear to Heaven, that you are not the reincarnated Phoenix Girl at all. If I lied about anything, my Zhuge Family will never know peace!"

At this moment, Madam Zhuge opened her mouth to speak with a determined look in her eyes, "I believe in Yun'er, there are too many points of suspicion. We cannot determine what happened in the royal tomb based on only one person's words. Everyone wants to protect this city, this is the home of our Exorcising Tribe. No one wishes to destroy it, but right now, we really cannot be taken advantage of."

Upon hearing that, Ni Feng cast her eyes down as though she had received a blow. Tears seemed to fill inside her beautiful eyes, and she said tenderly, "I really did not expect that even Auntie would see me this way. Is it because I wanted to capture Brother Yun? Hostile ghosts know how to read minds, so I was on guard from the start, but I did not expect that even after the precautions I have taken, they still had some ways to attack me. Thus, it is reasonable that Auntie would misunderstand me, but Auntie, did you ever wonder, if I am not the Phoenix Girl, how can I maintain such a shield of spiritual aura? And even up until now, these hostile ghosts could only say things to put the blame on me, but they do not have even a shred of evidence to prove that I am not the Phoenix Girl. Auntie, I do not wish for the unity between us to break because of these hostile ghosts. Do you understand how I feel?"
