The Anarchic Consort Novel - Chapter 768
Chapter 768: The Shameless Ni Feng Before Her Embarrassment
“What’s so unusual? It was just a corpse movement,” Ni Hu said without a care.
Helian Wei Wei laughed, “Corpse movement? Young Master Ni, have you ever seen a fresh corpse moving faster than a living person? I believe that all the other exorcists present here would agree with me.”
The other did know about that. It was mainly because they knew they could not fathom what was happening.
As for Ni Hu, the exorcists spared a glance at him. It was about time from him to be thoroughly humiliated.
Ni Hu also knew that he had embarrassed himself. Stuttering, he said, “So… so what about that? Don’t forget, those two bodies have been missing before we left.”
“Young Master Ni has a good memory for these things, but I would like to ask, how fast do they have to be in order to hang themselves on the roof, and in such a position too?” Helian Wei Wei looked back and replied inattentively.
Ni Hu choked at his words. Even the onlookers started to lose patience at him.
“Young Master Ni, since you have no idea, can you stop interrupting Brother Wei when he is speaking?” Xiao Ling’s words seemed to have created a wave of displeasure at Ni Hu among the exorcists. Every one of them was irked by Ni Hu’s behavior, their eyes showing the contempt they held against him.
Ni Hu had no choice, even if he was unsatisfied, all he could do then was to shut his mouth, and quickly turned his face to the side.
Sooner or later, he would definitely return the favor!
While Ni Hu was enraged, Ni Feng was wise. Hearing Helian Wei Wei’s words again, something clicked in her mind. She smiled gently and coughed softly, “Actually I have already long figured out what you have said earlier. It’s just that I don’t know how to put them into words”
With this remark, Zhuge Yun was furious with his eyes wide, losing his usual calm demeanor!
How could this person be so shameless!
Stealing Brother Wei’s idea after eavesdropping the first round was already bad enough, but now they are repeating the same stunt again?
In fact, she was even more shameless this time, from implying subtly to declaring outright that Wei Wei’s idea was hers, to begin with.
“You are not worthy to be the Phoenix Girl!” Zhuge Yun could not bear it any longer and blurted it out. Zhuge Yun’s handsome and youthful face was blushing. “You know what you did. If you had not overheard my conversation with Brother Wei, you would not have known which door to enter the tomb. Why did you say that you needed peace and tranquility to think before Brother Wei said anything? Now that Brother Wei has spoken, you claimed that you have thought of it earlier. Young Lady Ni, you do have a funny way of handling things!”
Facing this kind of interrogation, the tomb sunk into silence.
The exorcists were obviously shocked. They had never imagined that something like this could have happened behind the scenes while choosing the door. A commotion began to rise like tides among the exorcists.
“If what Zhuge Yun said is true, doesn’t that mean that Young Lady Ni has been stealing ideas from others all along?”
“This cannot be. There has to be some sort of misunderstanding. Young Lady Ni would never do something so immoral.”
“I think it’s impossible too. If it wasn’t for Young Lady Ni, we would have long been buried alive in this tomb. Young Lady Ni’s health has always been weak, if it wasn’t to keep us from danger, she would not even have to rush.”
Hearing all these comments around, Ni Biao realized that there were still plenty of supporters standing on the Ni family’s side, hence, he made good use of this opportunity.
Taking in a long breath, he said, “My elder daughter has her fair share of faults, especially that kind heart of hers. She is too kind for her own good. All she wanted was to get everyone back to the main hall as soon as possible. She didn’t even think about the consequences of her actions, I apologize that it might have led to you to misunderstand her notions, sonny.”
He turned his face toward Zhuge Yun. “My kind nephew, throughout these years I know that you have held resentment toward me as you do toward the Ni Family. After all, our families used to be equally powerful. But ever since dear Brother Zhuge has passed on, the Zhuge Family started to have fallen by the day while the Ni family become increasingly reputable. Yet, I still wish the Zhuge Family well. Sonny, being headstrong is one thing, but climbing to the top by stepping on others’ reputation is another thing. I will not stand for this. Everyone here can see with their own eyes how hard Xiao Feng has worked. Do you have any proof to back up your accusations against my Xiao Feng?”
Hearing his words, the exorcists started to question, “Yeah, Young Master Yun what evidence do you have? Talking about Miss Feng like that?”
In all, Zhuge Yun was a vigorous young man. He was straightforward and honest through and through. When he could not present any proof that they demanded, he was so frustrated he could smack his own head!
Ni Feng observed him from the beginning as if knowing that he could not produce any proof against her. As such, she did not take him seriously.
Relying on her family’s reputation and her identity as the reincarnation of Phoenix Girl, she could basically do whatever she pleased for no one would question her. What a big bully!
Zhuge Yun’s eyes were reddened out of rage. He bellowed, “Since Uncle Ni has asked for it, then could Sister Ni be so kind as to explain what she thought of previously, and why she did not say it earlier? But somehow, after Brother Wei started explaining, she could suddenly explain it too! ”
Helian Wei Wei’s gaze did not change, nor her expression betrayed any of her thoughts. However, when Zhuge Yun said these words, she sighed deeply.
What a dumb child.
Jumping straight into their obvious trap.
But then again, he was fighting for her justice, for her sake…
Helian Wei Wei did not say anything much. She only lightly tapped her side with her fingers, thinking calmly.
Zhuge Yun was thinking that a fake person like Ni Feng could not possibly know what Brother Wei was going to say.
However, out of his expectation, Ni Feng could actually rebut his words. Lightly coughing as if hiding her grief of being accused, she replied gently, “It’s no wonder that Little Brother Yun would misunderstand me. I did not want to speak initially because it would spoil the relationship between a few families. But now, since we have come to this point, as Young Master Wei has said earlier. Even if the Qi of Yin energy corrupted the corpses, they would move extremely slow. It would be impossible for them to outpace us, much less showing up in such a manner on the beamed ceiling. That’s because they were not moving corpses, but were carried over!”
Just as Ni Feng finished her final sentence, all the exorcists opened their eyes wide in shock!
Even Zhuge Yun was frozen stiff, he subconsciously looked toward Helian Wei Wei, checking if she objected.
His heart skipped a beat instantly.
He suddenly understood. Indeed, Ni Feng initially did not know anything, but hearing Brother Wei’s words, she quickly caught up with the rest of the story.
This woman was smart, he would agree to that.
Not just smart, but cunning as well.
She allowed him to create a ruckus, just to shame himself and Brother Wei…
