Chapter 47: Brother, Are You Failing in That Department?
Hearing that Xiaoyao's carriage had already arrived at the foot of the mountain, Cang Xuan felt his heart leap with joy. When he heard further that the eyesore Fangfeng Bei had left as soon as he escorted her to Zhiyi City, his joy grew even greater.

True, the two of them had shared a room that day, but according to the reports sent back, nothing untoward had happened—she must have simply stayed by the bedside for a whole night because that Fangfeng Bei was injured.
Nevertheless, regarding Xiaoyao's reputation, he secretly disposed of all the informants around her that night, wiping out all rival factions' eyes equally. Cang Xuan thought to himself: I cannot let this eyesore Fangfeng Bei get off so easily. He then dispatched a trusted aide to carry an exaggerated, twisted version of the news straight to Xiangliu, confident that the scheming demon wouldn't simply sit back and ignore it.
