Forsaken Immortals Chapter 230 - Relationship Rumors

Chapter 230 - Relations.h.i.+p Rumors

While no one openly mocked Dongfang Yu, many called him a fool in private. He was aware that the woman he liked was already married, but he still ran around to follow her like an obedient puppy.

There was even some confusion regarding the relations.h.i.+p between the two, as Li Moyun had gone missing, but this guy still openly appeared by Bai Rouyun's side.

A few of the more dramatic gossip mongers even a.s.sumed that Li Moyun had been killed by the two of them to ensure that they could be together, but when such a theory was raised, many would scoff with disdain.

While it might have been possible for them to think that before, when he was merely a prince, it was absolutely impossible now that everyone knew he was also the Eternal Shadow Lord.

If the two of them had really caused the death of this genius, then the Eternal Shadow Palace would never let her rest.

Although no one was willing to mention these rumors right in front of the involved parties, everyone knew that since they were both cultivators, their hearing would be much better than that of any mortal. They could clearly hear the rumor that was being spread around them.

Bai Rouyun was not a person who was easily influenced by others' opinions on her. As long as Li Moyun understood her heart, no one else mattered.

The calm appearance of their master's wife made all these hidden experts full of admiration. They were members who had been raised by the Eternal Shadow Palace and would give their life for this faction that had given them a place to call home, so when they knew that their master had found a woman whom he loved more than his own life, they also felt the need to guard her.

At first, their acts were solely done for Li Moyun's sake, but after getting to know her, these experts understood that this lady was much more amazing than they had initially expected.

Just as Bai Rouyun was about to leave, a group of students walked out through the gates. These students were all from Qin Huiling's cla.s.s, and most of them felt uncomfortable when looking at Bai Rouyun.

She was supposed to be an ant that they could trample to death with a simple stomp of their feet. Her talents were nothing special, but due to sheer luck, she had been gifted to the most revered man on the whole continent.

In their hearts, she did not deserve to be with Li Moyun at all, so now that something had happened, they naturally wished to take her down a notch.

"To think that Qin Huiling considered herself a friend of Miss Bai. When she was forcefully dragged away, where was this young miss of the Eternal Shadow Palace?"

"I think it is clear that she is not aware that friends and subordinates are not the same. She never considered the life of her friends; all she cares about is to have someone who will follow behind her and praise her."

"Honestly, Qin Huiling is much more talented than her; the only good thing she experienced was to be born a beauty and gifted to the Eternal Shadow Lord while he still tried to hide his true ident.i.ty."

The voices were different from those rumors which had been ongoing before. Those before were at least pretending that they did not wish for Bai Rouyun to hear their voices, while this group clearly did everything in their power to let everyone, including Bai Rouyun, hear them clearly.

It was not enough for them to be loud; they also kept staring at her with hostile eyes. In fact, they attempted to speak for the sake of Qin Huiling, but the truth was that they merely used her as a way to hit Bai Rouyun.

They had never liked Qin Huiling much. She had never been arrogant in the cla.s.s, but she refused to listen when they wished to talk badly about Bai Rouyun. She even warned them not to let her hear their words.

At the same time, she also refused to tell them anything about the Eternal Shadow Palace and its lord. They were aware that she had clearly seen Li Moyun more than once, but she still kept everything she knew closely guarded.

This was why, even though some had seen her getting captured, no one tried to stop it.

The words of the group caused many of the crowded citizens to look at Bai Rouyun with disbelief. They had already believed every word that was said, and the indignation in their hearts burned.

They were all from more humble backgrounds, and the feeling of being looked down upon made them uncomfortable. When someone, who was supposed to be a friend, was being treated this way, they felt a need to stand up for justice.

Bai Rouyun had not replied to the group that had appeared; neither had she commented when she noticed the changing expressions of the rest of the students, but she felt rather amused.

This group of people who had appeared was clearly hostile towards her. Everyone with eyes would be able to see that, but they still believed the words without any proof, or time to consider other options. Such people really did not deserve her time to explain.

Even though Bai Rouyun felt that these citizens were rather simpleminded, she did not display any disdain as she gestured for Dongfang Yu to leave.

The two of them completely ignored all the rumors that had spread around, whether it was about their relations.h.i.+p, or the capture of Qin Huiling.

The complete and utter disregard for their words made the young group of students feel as if they had just punched cotton; it was as if their words had absolutely no influence, making them feel extremely uncomfortable.
