The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler

1878 Smear

“Nan Yuxing, you can eat the wrong food, but you can’t say the wrong words. Ever since we bade farewell at the God-Killing Tumulus, we didn’t see Nan Yiyi again. How could we kill her?”

Realizing that the misunderstanding was huge, Chu Liuyue’s face immediately turned cold as she clarified the matter.

Even though she wasn’t afraid of other people causing trouble for her, she did not want to be falsely accused at all.

However, Nan Yuxing seemed to have heard a joke as he abruptly raised his hands and sharply scolded, “Her corpse was found in a forest not far away from the Sky-Cloud Empire, and she died not long after your wedding! Do you dare to say that this has nothing to do with you at all?!”

Nan Yuxing was extremely infuriated.

Due to his health previously, he didn’t really care about other things, so he didn’t even know that Nan Yiyi went to the Sky-Cloud Empire when Rong Xiu and Chu Liuyue were getting married. If he knew it back then, he would definitely stop her!

When he thought of asking about Nan Yiyi’s condition, he received the news of her death instead!

The time, location, and all the clues pointed to the Sky-Cloud Empire! He determined in his heart that Nan Yiyi’s sudden visit had angered Rong Xiu and the rest. Not only did they reject her at the door, but they even chose to kill her in the end!

As her brother, how could he not avenge her death?!

Seeing that Nan Yuxing was so furious that he was out of his mind, Chu Liuyue almost burst out laughing. Ridiculous—a joke!

This was what she felt after hearing it.

It seems that although Nan Yuxing’s body has recovered, his brain isn’t working anymore.

“Nan Yuxing, you said it yourself. She died outside the Sky-Cloud Empire, and it happened after our wedding. Then, I would like to ask: what has this got to do with us? Besides, you need evidence for everything. Since you’re saying it with such gusto, what evidence do you have?”

Nan Yuxing sneered. I long knew that these people wouldn’t admit it, but that is fine.

He looked at Luo Yan at the side. “Uncle Luo Yan, they indeed refused to admit it. May I trouble you?”

Luo Yan nodded and looked up at Rong Xiu and Chu Liuyue.

He was standing half a step behind Nan Yuxing previously, and with his head slightly lowered, Chu Liuyue didn’t pay much attention to him.

Now that he raised his head, Chu Liuyue and the rest finally saw his appearance clearly and were taken aback.

Different from the arrogant man they previously saw at the God-Killing Tumulus, the current Luo Yan in front of them had completely changed into someone else.

His cheeks were sunken, and his eyes were bloodshot. His green beard was messy, and he looked very frail. At first glance, it seemed like he had suffered a huge impact.

“That day, I was the one who accompanied Yiyi to the Sky-Cloud Empire,” Luo Yan said. His voice was extremely hoarse as if he hadn’t spoken in a while.

“After being rejected by the Sky-Cloud Empire at the door, I advised Yiyi to go back. She listened and agreed to return to the Nan family. At that time, she was upset, so we planned to find a random place on a nearby mountain to rest. Who knew that not long after we arrived there, someone sneakily attacked us…”

He paused, and there was something surging in his eyes. “Even though the person hid very discreetly, I saw the totem they summoned when they took action—it was undoubtedly the Sky-Cloud Empire’s totem!”

Nan Yuxing had previously heard Luo Yan say these things. But now that he heard it again, his blood boiled.

He glared at Chu Liuyue and Rong Xiu, and there seemed to be fire burning in his eyes. He wanted to shred them into pieces! “You heard that! That’s the evidence you want! What else do you have to say?”

If it wasn’t done by the people in the Sky-Cloud Empire, who else could it be?!

Compared to Nan Yuxing’s anger and mania, Rong Xiu looked calmer and more composed.

He nodded. “Other than this, what else do you have?”

Nan Yuxing’s lungs were about to explode. “Rong Xiu, what do you mean?! Do you think that this concrete evidence is still not enough?”

Rong Xiu raised his brows slightly. “It’s just a one-sided statement. How can it be considered as concrete evidence?”

“You—”

“Luo Yan, let me ask you. Other than you and Nan Yiyi, who else was there that day?” Rong Xiu ignored Nan Yuxing as he directly looked at Luo Yan and interrogated him.

Luo Yan slowly clenched his fists tightly. “Nobody. However, what I said just now was the truth!”

Chu Liuyue laughed lightly. “Why are your words the truth and other people’s words a lie? Senior Luo Yan, I know that we had grudges between us at the God-Killing Tumulus and that you’re upset with us, but… You don’t have to harm us like this, right? You said that our people did something to you… What’s the reason for that?”

As she spoke, she meaningfully glanced at Nan Yuxing. “I think you are the ones with the true murderous intent, right?”

I have never seen someone who is so hung up about an issue. Is there such a need?

“You!” Luo Yan was exasperated.

However, Rong Xiu and Chu Liuyue’s rebuttal made sense. His words alone weren’t enough to convince the crowd.

Rong Xiu asked again, “Luo Yan, you said that the person who took action that day is from the Sky-Cloud Empire. If this is true, then… they would’ve killed the both of you. Since Nan Yiyi is already dead, then… how did you appear here?”

Rong Xiu’s words rendered Luo Yan even more speechless.

“I-I fainted back then… When I woke up again, a long time had passed… Yiyi was already…”

“Was it still on the mountain outside the Sky-Cloud Empire?” asked Chu Liuyue.

Luo Yan’s forehead broke out into a cold sweat. “…Y-yes it’s there…”

Speaking of this, he finally realized something was amiss. If it were the Sky-Cloud Empire’s people that took action, they definitely wouldn’t kill Nan Yiyi alone and leave him alive.

Also, why would it still be at that place? They should change to somewhere else… Could the people who assassinated Nan Yiyi just want to settle her there?

After Luo Yan woke up, he saw Nan Yiyi’s miserable death state that didn’t even make her look human. At that time, he was overwhelmed with anger and was fixated on taking revenge against the Sky-Cloud Empire, so he rapidly returned to the Nan family. Then, he came with Nan Yuxing—whose body had just recovered—to discuss their revenge.

After asking around, they found out that Rong Xiu and Chu Liuyue had come to Peach Blossom Dock. Without a second word, they directly brought the elders over.

But upon hearing the other party’s questions at this point, Luo Yan finally realized that things weren’t as simple as he thought. However, it seemed to be a little late to say this now…

“Uncle Luo Yan!” Nan Yuxing hollered and woke Luo Yan.”Don’t listen to these people arguing! Other than them, who else would be so harsh to Yiyi?!”

Swoosh!

The blade glistened coldly.

Nan Yuxing held the sword with both hands and pointed it straight at Rong Xiu and Chu Liuyue. “It must be you!”
