Feng Xi felt her own thoughts were becoming impure.
She had actually deduced that the "illicit lover" of Han Lianyi was none other than Peak Master Han—and they were uncle and niece!
Good heavens! What kind of karma had she accumulated to stumble upon such a earth-shattering scandal?
However, the fruit wasn't quite ripe yet; she still had to press it a little further.
She immediately sneered, "Han Lianyi, you think far too highly of yourself! Even by your own admission, Huangfu Yao is merely the grand-nephew of Peak Master Han. That is several generations removed! I don't believe for a second that Peak Master Han would tear his reputation apart with the Huangfu Clan just for a grand-nephew."
Han Lianyi struggled to control her emotions, but an intense, gnawing anxiety began to churn within her, leaving her flustered. Hearing Feng Xi’s words, she retorted without a second thought:
"Of course he would stand up for us! In this entire world, we are the ones he cares about most!"
Feng Xi let out a mocking laugh. "Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue with such grand claims? He cares about you the most? If Huangfu Yao were actually a member of the Huangfu Clan, he might back you up. But the moment he finds out Huangfu Yao is the spawn of some random man, he’ll be desperate to distance himself from you! How could a dignified Peak Master of the Changsheng Sect stand up for a bastard? He might even strangle you and that mongrel himself to cover up the family scandal..."
