No one knows what the facts are more clearly than the two parties involved, Zou Zilong and Jun Xiaomo. However, this kind of "caught in adultery" happened not just once or twice. Sometimes it was Zou Zilong who did have an affair with the other party, and sometimes it was just Princess Linglong's suspicious mind. The only thing that remained unchanged was those women. The end was miserable.
Zou Zilong originally thought that this time it would be the same as before. At worst, he would watch Princess Linglong beat Jun Xiaomo to death, and he silently regretted it in his heart. He did not expect that Jun Xiaomo's master Tong Ruizhen would protect her shortcomings like this.
Zou Zilong never expected that Jun Xiaomo would draw fire to him.
Hearing Jun Xiaomo's mocking question, Zou Zilong's heart skipped a beat, and the expression on his face became distorted and stiff for a moment.
However, this was only a moment. As a person whose ambition was no less than Qin Lingyu's, his face-changing skills were no worse than Qin Lingyu's. Soon, he adjusted. If Jun Xiaomo hadn't been staring at him, You can't even tell that his expression has changed.
"The pure will themselves be pure, Junior Sister Jun, you'd better not slander anyone. I was in vain when I begged you in front of the princess just now, but I didn't expect you to bite me back now." Zou Zilong said calmly, with a righteous expression. , as if this is really the case.
"Is it me who is spewing blood on others? Okay, senior brother Zou, how about you and I use the mantra array to test it? Let's see who will be backlashed by the mantra array." Jun Xiaomo raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Zou Zilong coldly. passed.
Zou Zilong was choked by Jun Xiaomo's words. The veins on his forehead jumped twice. His face was livid and speechless. He didn't dare to agree to Jun Xiaomo's matter, because it was his problem in the first place. If he used the mantra If you do it, the truth will definitely be exposed in front of everyone.
However, even if Zou Zilong didn't use the mantra formation to test, his current hesitation and the sudden change in color on his face are very telling.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zou Zilong just lied and felt guilty.
Zhuang Lenghui, who was hidden in the crowd, curled her lips and felt that the play was getting better and better. It was not in vain that she had put so much effort into "directing" this play.
Princess Linglong looked at Zou Zilong in disbelief. After taking a few quick breaths, she closed her eyes and calmed down the urge to question Zou Zilong that arose in her heart at that moment.
She didn't want others to know that Zou Zilong was the one at fault.
When she opened her eyes again, Princess Linglong had already made her decision. She turned to Master Jun Xiaomo and Tong Ruizhen and said, "That's enough. I'm too lazy to investigate your fault for seducing Senior Brother Zou. I'll let you go today. You can go back and reflect on your own."
Obviously, Princess Linglong has seen what is right and wrong, but she is so blinded by love that she would rather put all the blame on Jun Xiaomo than protect the man she likes.
Zou Zilong breathed a sigh of relief. Princess Linglong did not pursue the matter any further, which was obviously more beneficial to him. If his master wants to obtain the position of the sect leader, he not only needs the support of the royal family, but also the support of Elder Tong.
Even if Elder Tong does not support his master, he cannot push him to the Feng Lai Peak side.
However, Jun Xiaomo has never been a fool willing to suffer losses. Princess Linglong and Zou Zilong now obviously want to pour all the dirty water on her, so how can she do it? !
What's more, she hates third parties who break other people's engagements, and now she is inexplicably labeled as "seduce other people's husbands". Can Jun Xiaomo swallow this? Obviously impossible.
Therefore, she sneered and said: "I have done nothing wrong, why should I go back and reflect? Princess Linglong, your blame is too heavy, and I don't want to bear it."
"Then what do you want?" Yue Linglong glared at Jun Xiaomo angrily.
"It's very simple. I want to use the True Word Formation to clear my name. If I get backlashed by the True Word Formation for lying, then let's just consider it my own fault." Jun Xiaomo replied calmly, with a calm look in his eyes. He Ganran and Zou Zilong's increasingly tense faces formed a sharp contrast.
"No!" Princess Linglong glanced at Zou Zilong, then returned her gaze to Jun Xiaomo, and said sharply, "I said it was your fault, and it is your fault. There is no need to use the mantra array!"
The implication is that even if it's not your fault, you have to swallow this breath.
In Yue Linglong's mind, she was the princess of a country, and Zou Zilong was her consort, so neither of them could make any mistakes. The only one who could be wrong was Jun Xiaomo.
Jun Xiaomo laughed angrily and was about to say something when he heard the crane next to Elder Tong roar loudly and rushed towards Princess Linglong. There were barbs on the long edge of the peck. It was really pecked. I'm afraid Princess Linglong will have half of her flesh bitten off.
Princess Linglong screamed in fear and even forgot about the whip in her hand. She turned around and ran away, pushing the maid behind her in front of the crane.
"Ah! I was wrong, don't kill me, don't kill me..." The maid Xiao'e is just an ordinary person. When she saw such a giant crane rushing toward her, she had no idea of resistance. Her legs went weak and she She fell to the ground - she didn't want to die.
However, the crane didn't seem to be interested in the maid next to the princess. It jumped over the maid's head with a light jump and continued to chase Princess Linglong persistently. Zou Zilong, who was still standing next to Princess Linglong, seemed to be attracted by this sudden attack* *Kang was so stunned that he didn't even think of rescuing Princess Linglong who was running around for a while.
The huge crane was running while pecking at Princess Linglong's hair and clothes with its huge beak. After a while, Princess Linglong was in a state of embarrassment with her messy hair, and she no longer looked aloof and arrogant like before.
However, everyone could see that the crane was just teasing the princess and had no intention of killing her. However, the princess's shrill scream was more terrifying than the roar of the giant crane. It tortured everyone's eardrums at high decibels and high frequency, almost piercing their eardrums.
Finally, Princess Linglong fell to the ground dying, and the giant crane glanced sideways at Princess Linglong, let out a long roar, and jumped back to Tong Ruizhen's side with his head held high. "Hahahahaha... OK, OK, OK! Be good~" Tong Ruizhen happily patted his pet and said "OK" three times in a row.
All these changes happened too fast. When everyone reacted, they hurried to Princess Linglong and tried to help her up.
"Princess!"
"Princess!"
"Princess… "
"Go away!" Princess Linglong waved away the secret guards and maids, and said with a ferocious expression, "Why didn't you come to save me just now? What's the use of running here now!"
Her face was still mixed with dust and tears, and her palms were covered with mud. She had never been in such a miserable state before, and her hatred for Tong Ruizhen and Jun Xiaomo reached its extreme.
"I won't let you go, Jun Xiaomo, just wait for me!" After standing up, Yue Linglong didn't bother to adjust her clothes, and said harsh words to Jun Xiaomo and Tong Ruizhen with a look of hatred on her face, "I'll spare your life today. You won't be so lucky next time. Let's go!"
Both face and dignity were lost, and Princess Linglong had no intention of staying here and being watched.
"Wait a minute." Jun Xiaomo stopped Princess Linglong. She glanced at the maid next to Princess Linglong with half-smiling eyes, making the other party tremble and feel a bad premonition in her heart. "Your Highness, I think there is still a small matter that has not been resolved. I don't think you can leave until this matter is resolved."
"Jun Xiaomo, don't push yourself too far!" Princess Linglong glared angrily, "Don't tell me anything about the 'Truth Formation'. If I don't agree, I won't agree!"
She had lost enough face today. If the truth array finally proved that Zou Zilong was lying and Jun Xiaomo was innocent, where would she put her face as a princess of a country
She didn't want others to talk behind her back, saying that she couldn't even win over the Prince Consort and lost to a loser who had just entered the sect at the sixth level of Qi training.
Jun Xiaomo saw what Princess Linglong was thinking, and her purpose of calling Princess Linglong this time was not to clear herself of her grievances, but to find out who was plotting against her - don't think she didn't discover Princess Linglong's maid The guilty conscience and panic were revealed many times in her eyes. What's more, she and this maid had no enmity, and there was no need for the other party to specially bring Princess Linglong here.
So, Jun Xiaomo ignored Princess Linglong, looked directly at the maid Xiao'e and asked: "Girl, you were the one who told Her Royal Highness that I was 'seducing' Senior Brother Zou, right?"
"Yes... yes." The maid could not see Jun Xiaomo's purpose, so she could only respond cautiously.
"Then can you tell me how long it took from the time you saw me 'seduce' Senior Brother Zou to the time you ran to Her Highness the Princess to report the news?"
"I...how do I know? I didn't pay attention." The maid Xiao'e said with a frown on her face and glared at Jun Xiaomo pretending to be angry.
However, this glance was just a bluff. She didn't know that her guilty conscience was still revealed in these small actions.
In fact, she never saw the scene where Jun Xiaomo "seduced" Zou Zilong. Zhuang Lenghui simply asked her to "complain", and she did it without thinking. At that time, she didn't think much about it. After all, countless people had died under Princess Linglong's whip. She never thought that Jun Xiaomo would be an exception.
Not only was he an exception, but he was also a thoughtful person. The maid felt that she had been seen through by Jun Xiaomo.
Cold sweat broke out on her back. If possible, she really wanted to block Jun Xiaomo's mouth.
I just hope that the incident will not come to light and let the princess know what "good things" she has done, the maid Xiao'e thought anxiously, but she did not know that she was already in disaster.
