Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Upon witnessing the women lying in such a manner, the two teenage monks refrained from approaching. They hesitated, fearful of potential accusations and lacking evidence to defend themselves. Instead, they swiftly returned to the temple and guided dozens of other monks to the scene.
Qiao Xuan, aware of the imminent arrival of the monks, positioned herself among the motionless figures and closed her eyes, feigning unconsciousness.
As the monks gathered around, the scene transformed into a grand spectacle.
Qiao Xuan observed the unfolding drama in silence, just meters away. Taking advantage of the commotion, she discreetly employed her superpower, extending the plant roots towards Yuezheng Ting and Qiao Wei, causing them to gradually awaken.
Yuezheng Ting and Qiao Wei regained consciousness, their eyes falling upon the unsightly, disheveled man lying on top of them. A horrified scream escaped their lips.
“Ahhhh!”
Shortly after, Qiao Xuan was discovered as well. She “slowly woke up,” deliberately portraying a pale, frightened expression on her face, as if she too had endured a terrifying ordeal.
The three maids, equally distressed and injured, joined in the chorus of cries.
Upon returning to the temple, Yuezheng Ting and Qiao Wei remained engulfed in a whirlwind of humiliation and fury. Tears streamed down their faces as they cursed vehemently, unable to comprehend the unexpected turn of events.
They had never imagined that a simple trip could lead to such a horrifying encounter. The mere sight of those two unknown men hovering above them had etched a nightmare into their souls, an ordeal they believed would haunt them forever. To make matters worse, their distressing ordeal had unfolded in front of numerous witnesses.
Consumed by anger, the two girls yearned to seek vengeance. They directed their curses towards the men and, ultimately, Qiao Xuan, blaming her for orchestrating the entire incident. However, Qiao Xuan calmly defended herself, a.s.serting her innocence. “1 had no part in this. I fell first and lost consciousness. How could I possibly have set you up?”
The sincerity in Qiao Xuan’s words resonated with the monks, who found her explanation convincing. Nevertheless, the rage within Yuezheng Ting and Qiao Wei remained unabated, rendering them impervious to any form of reasoning.
The two women’s curses grew fiercer, their determination to never forgive Qiao Xuan intensifying.
“Of course it was you, Qiao Xuan! You are truly wicked! I will never forgive you for this!”
“Nor will l!”
Qiao Xuan’s face sank. “You may be angry, and 1 understand that. But 1 will not allow myself to be unjustly accused! The world is just, and I fear no false accusations. If you dare to blame me, go ahead and try.”
Her words carried a provocative tone, as if she knew that their plan to frame her had crumbled.
The two girls continued to curse loudly, their anger unrestrained. Qiao Xuan halted in her tracks and turned away, her expression filled with fury. The monks furrowed their brows, feeling both uncomfortable and disgusted by the scene unfolding before them. It was clear that Mrs. Shao had fallen first, a fact that the two women did not deny. Blaming Qiao Xuan seemed unreasonable and unfounded, no wonder the two girls ran into trouble.
Growing weary of the situation, some monks interjected, suggesting that they return to the temple and discuss the matter later. The two women ceased their curses momentarily, redirecting their threats towards the monks, warning them never to utter a word about what had transpired that day, under the threat of eternal unforgiveness.
However, the two women’s threats held little weight, as they had nothing new to use as leverage.
The monks unanimously expressed their commitment to keeping the events a secret, not willing to risk further entanglement with the enraged duo..
