As soon as Shen Qingruo saw the people coming, she immediately revealed undisguised disgust on her face, "What are you doing here? The palace is so big, can't you go somewhere else? You are not welcome here!"
The young man in the lead seemed to know Shen Qingruo's character. He did not get angry when he heard it. Instead, he looked at her with affection in his eyes.
He straightened his gorgeous brocade embroidered with dark gold thread, then glanced at Hexi's coarse cloth clothes with contempt, and smiled at Shen Qingruo, "Sister Ruo'er, I know you are unhappy about what my grandfather said in the public trial just now, but my grandfather is also doing this for your own good! He is afraid that you will be deceived by people of unknown origin and damage the Shen family's century-old reputation."
As he spoke, he glanced at He Xi coldly, speaking with disdain, "He is just a kid in the foundation-building stage, and you, Ruo'er sister, are the jewel in the crown of the entire Qingxia Sect. How can such a person be worthy of you? Why do you have to make enemies with the Feng family for an insignificant person and get yourselves into trouble?"
"Xia Yichen, please be more respectful when you speak. What do you mean by a Foundation Establishment Stage kid? Didn't you just advance to the Vein Condensation Stage?"
Shen Qingruo's pretty face flushed with anger, and her voice trembled slightly, showing how angry she was. "What are you so proud of? Don't think I don't know that you were able to advance to the Condensation Phase by taking a large amount of medicinal pills."
"Even though Master Xi is only at the foundation-building stage, he relies entirely on his own efforts. How can he be worse than a weakling like you who only relies on the sect?"
As she spoke, she grabbed He Xi's sleeve and said hatefully, "Master Xi, let's go and ignore them!"
Xia Yichen's face turned pale and blue at Shen Qingruo's words. When he saw Shen Qingruo holding He Xi's hand, he was immediately furious. He looked at He Xi as if he wanted to tear her into pieces.
This brat, who has no sect or school, low cultivation, what else does he have besides a face? Why did he win Ruo'er's favor
He took a step forward, blocked He Xi's way, and sneered, "Master Xi, right?"
He Xi raised an eyebrow, "Something happened."
To He Xi, the group of people in front of him were just a bunch of little brats, and he had no interest in talking to them.
Xia Yichen rolled his eyes, suppressed his anger, and said with a smile: "It's like this, this is my second senior brother Shangguan Qi, and my junior brother Nalan Ziyun. They want to apologize to you for what happened just now."
Before He Xi could reply, Shangguan Qi, who was standing behind Xia Yichen, came forward and bowed slightly, saying, "Master Xi, I didn't know the truth just now and mistook you as the murderer of my third brother, so I'm sorry for offending you. Please forgive me."
At this point, he suddenly changed the subject and revealed a meaningful expression, "I didn't expect that Master Xi actually had such important evidence in his hand. But since he had the evidence, why didn't Master Xi show it out at the beginning? This way, there wouldn't be such a misunderstanding."
As soon as the prince said this, the eyes of the disciples of the Seven Stars Palace turned cold and angry when they looked at He Xi.
This kid clearly had evidence in his hand but he refused to show it, causing their elders to offend Shen Sen. Isn't this clearly embarrassing them
He Xi stroked his hair nonchalantly and chuckled, "Oh, I was frightened by your massive display before and forgot that I still had evidence in my hand." (To be continued)
