Chapter 4749 — No Need for Complications
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Wei Zhao and Kang Jingming had most likely fought over the Thunder Mystic Vine, and the outcome was plainly a case of both sides suffering. Though each had obtained a Thunder Mystic Vine, Ning Shanghe's position clearly placed her on Wei Zhao's side. A shameless wretch like Kang Jingming, who flouted the rules, truly deserved death.
"So that means everything he said is a lie—no wonder he rambled on for ages without making himself clear!" Liu Ziqi fixed Kang Jingming with an unfriendly stare. Of course she would take this chance to help her own disciple.
"Indeed. This matter never needed to be so complicated. My disciple's chastity mark is still intact—that is the strongest proof of all. That fool spouted so much nonsense purely to muddy everyone's vision and fish in troubled waters. A despicable wretch with foul intentions!" Huo Yudie said with a cold snort.
"Die'er, is this true?" Liu Ziqi was delighted at the words. She exchanged a glance with Ning Shanghe, and the two at once had Huo Yudie roll up her sleeve—the chastity mark on her arm was wholly intact!
Now at last no one had the slightest doubt left. Unlike the photographs, that sort of counterfeit evidence open to endless wrangling, the chastity mark was solid, irrefutable proof. It showed that Huo Yudie's body had never been defiled, and as for coupling with Wei Zhao in broad daylight—that was naturally pure fabrication.
Ning Shanghe swept her majestic gaze over the whole assembly and finally settled it upon Kang Jingming. Her tone calm, she said, "What was that name again—Kang Kaizi, is it? Let me tell you, on our West Island, falsely accusing another is a grave crime, and the punishment is harsher than ordinary folk can imagine. Will you keep arguing?"
"This..." Kang Jingming was speechless at once. Damn it all, what kind of name was that? When had he become Kang Kaizi?!
But by now he could see it too: if he kept talking, he would not only waste his breath but might well bring fire down upon himself. He could only sulk and choose to shut his mouth.
Kang Jingming had seen the danger and could withdraw in time, but Li Yuzhou and Sun Baolu, the true instigators, were now genuinely stuck astride a tiger. As for false accusation, Kang Jingming was at most a bystander joining the fun—they two were the real culprits!
"As for you two—out of regard for your status as disciples of the Eastern Continent Academy, it is not fitting for me, as Island Master, to punish you. I shall leave you to Vice Principal Liu to deal with when she returns. Let us not spoil everyone's enjoyment," Ning Shanghe said flatly.
"Very well." Liu Ziqi nodded, swept the two with a frosty glance, and threw down a single sentence on the spot: "I will deal with you properly once we are back."
That one sentence frightened Li Yuzhou and Sun Baolu out of their wits. It was over—this time it was truly over! Now the crime of false accusation was stamped upon them beyond any doubt, and they had fallen into the hands of the man's own master. What good end could possibly await them?
Had so many people not been watching, the two of them would have been tempted to flee this very moment—except that West Island experts stood on every side. Never mind here in the Island Master's palace; even outside they could not escape. A single word from her would have the two of them easily caught and dragged back, and then their deaths would be all the more miserable. (To be continued...)
