Chapter 1032: Senior Sister Liao, I have never had such an idea.
Hearing Xiao Huaijing's question, Liao Qiaohe's face became even uglier.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Of course you don't believe me. After all, in your eyes, I am just an arrogant and domineering bad guy, right?"
"But I'm telling you, even though I have a bad temper, I dare to take responsibility for my actions. I will never admit to anything I didn't do! Believe it or not, I was definitely not the one who drugged you!"
Liao Qiaohe felt very aggrieved, extremely aggrieved.
She really couldn't understand why Senior Brother Xiao, who grew up with her and always protected her, no longer believed her since Ye Hanlong appeared.
Her father always advised her that Senior Brother Xiao naturally didn't like her and asked her not to chase after her.
But, it was obvious that Senior Brother Xiao only had her in his eyes and heart, and he would share any good things with her first.
There was also that time in the secret realm when he saved her despite the danger and refused to let her go even though he was covered in wounds.
He also said that he would marry her when he grew up.
Why did everything change after Ye Hanlong appeared?
Senior Brother Xiao hated her, despised her, no longer liked her, and didn't even want to look at her.
At this time, Ye Hanlong, who had been standing aside, finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
She took a step forward and stood in front of Xiao Huaijing, glaring at Liao Qiaohe and said:
"Senior Sister Liao, you are going too far! Senior Brother Xiao has no interest in you at all, so why do you have to keep pestering him like this?"
Liao Qiaohe's gaze fell on Ye Hanlong. She looked him up and down, and a hint of barely perceptible jealousy flashed in her eyes.
She sneered, "Ye Hanlong, who do you think you are? You are just relying on Senior Brother Xiao to protect you, so you dare to be so presumptuous in front of me!
"It's just a purple-level talent. What's there to be so proud of? I admit that my talent is not as good as yours, so what?"
Although her voice was not loud, everyone around her could hear it clearly.
Upon hearing this, Ye Hanlong's lips trembled slightly and tears gradually welled up in his eyes.
She could never have imagined that Liao Qiaohe would humiliate her like this in public.
Many people began to whisper.
"This Ye Hanlong is really brave. He even dared to openly contradict Liao Qiaohe."
"Yes, but she is the eldest daughter of the Bai family, the largest family in Tianhuan City, so she naturally has some confidence."
"Liao Qiaohe is too arrogant. She really thinks she is invincible."
When Liao Qiaohe heard the discussions of the crowd, her face became uglier and rage burned in her heart.
"Ye Hanlong, just wait for me. I will make you pay double for the humiliation you suffered today one day." Liao Qiaohe glared at Ye Hanlong viciously.
Seeing this, Xiao Huaijing frowned, and a hint of dissatisfaction appeared in his eyes.
He walked over to Ye Hanlong and turned to look at Liao Qiaohe: "Junior Sister Liao, Junior Sister Ye can achieve this result entirely through her own efforts. Why do you have to sneer at her?"
When Liao Qiaohe heard what Xiao Huaijing said, her face suddenly turned red and white.
She obviously did not expect Xiao Huaijing to stand up and speak for Ye Hanlong.
She gritted her teeth and suppressed her unhappiness: "I'm just telling the truth. Why, Brother Xiao, are you going to blame me for her now?"
Xiao Huaijing's expression became more serious: "Junior Sister Liao, I don't mean to blame you. I'm just speaking the truth."
"We are all here to participate in the competition. We should respect each other instead of being arrogant because of momentary jealousy like you did."
His words were like a sharp sword, piercing Liao Qiaohe's heart.
When the people around heard what Xiao Huaijing said, they all nodded in agreement.
Accepting such groundless accusations, Liao Qiaohe's face turned pale instantly.
Her lips trembled slightly and she clenched the pink jade pendant hanging around her waist.
This jade pendant was given to her by Xiao Huaijing when she was a child, but now it has become a great irony.
Liao Qiaohe's heart was filled with grievance and unwillingness.
She stared at Xiao Huaijing and asked, "Are you so arrogant because of a moment of jealousy? Senior Brother Xiao, am I such a despicable person in your eyes?"
"Do you really think that I, Liao Qiaohe, would resort to such despicable means?"
Liao Qiaohe suddenly raised her voice with a hint of despair and anger.
"What do you think?" Xiao Huaijing threw the question to Liao Qiaohe again.
Liao Qiaohe's fingertips froze in mid-air, and Xiao Huaijing's threatening eyes were like poisonous ice cones, piercing her heart and causing pain.
The whispers of the surrounding monks pierced his mind like needles, and the words "albizzia" and "bad conduct" swirled in his mind.
Liao Qiaohe took a deep breath and said, "Brother Xiao, I know that I am sometimes outspoken and may be arrogant and domineering in what I say and do, but I am definitely not the kind of person who would do anything evil!"
"Senior Brother Xiao, do you really hate me so much?" Liao Qiaohe's voice trembled slightly.
There were tears in her eyes, but she bit her lips stubbornly, refusing to let the tears fall.
The whispers around her were buzzing like mosquitoes and flies. She didn't need to listen carefully to know what they were talking about - "It's shameless to keep pestering me",
"Liao Qiaohe, the daughter of the deputy leader of Xuanling Sect, was rejected by Xiao Huaijing again"
"I heard that she drugged Xiao Huaijing"
"She has no sense of shame. Whoever marries her in the future will be unlucky"...
Every word felt like a needle piercing her eardrums. She had heard enough insults against her in recent days and had become numb to them.
Xiao Huaijing looked grim.
He looked at Liao Qiaohe expressionlessly and said coldly, "Junior Sister Liao, please respect yourself."
Ye Hanlong stood beside Xiao Huaijing, her skin looking white as cream in an orange dress.
She bit her lower lip lightly, with a hint of timidity in her eyes, but she stood firmly in front of Xiao Huaijing.
This action undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, and Liao Qiaohe felt a surge of blood rushing to her head.
"Ye Hanlong!" Liao Qiaohe glared at Ye Hanlong and suddenly raised her voice, "Do you think you can be so arrogant with your little talent?"
"You've been pretending to be gentle, considerate, and pitiful in front of Senior Brother Xiao all day long. It's all just an act. Are you worthy enough to stand beside Senior Brother Xiao?"
Ye Hanlong's body trembled, his eyes turned redder in an instant, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"Sister Liao, I have never had such an idea."
Ye Hanlong's voice was filled with obvious grievance, "I just saw that Senior Brother Xiao didn't seem to like being disturbed, so..."
"Shut up!" Liao Qiaohe didn't give Ye Hanlong a chance to explain. She interrupted him rudely, "Stop pretending here!"
"You still dare to show off in front of Senior Brother Xiao. Don't you think you are great just because you have a little purple-level talent?"
Liao Qiaohe became more and more excited as she spoke, her finger almost poking Ye Hanlong's face, "You are very proud, right? Proud that Senior Brother Xiao and I had a falling out? Right?"
"Aren't you just showing off here with your purple-level talent? Everyone knows where you got all those pills? And you dare to show off in front of Senior Brother Xiao!"
As soon as Liao Qiaohe uttered these angry words, there was an uproar around them.
Ye Hanlong's face was pale and he looked extremely pitiful. His lips were trembling but he couldn't speak.
