"What does that mean?" everyone was startled and curious.
Su Luo saw that her second senior brother had indeed snuck behind a large rock at some point. His timid, evasive, and fearful demeanor was completely different from his usual bold and cheerful self.
There must be something wrong!
"Second Senior Brother, what's wrong? Why are you hiding from Miss Wen?"
Su Luo walked over, grinning, and dragged him out. "So you're old acquaintances? You never told us. What's going on?"
The gossip flames of the crowd immediately roared to life.
One was an inner disciple of Qingxu Heaven, the Crown Prince of the Beiming Empire. The other was the foremost Tianji of the Six Desires Sect, one of the Four Great Beauties of the continent. What exactly had happened between these two?
Lu Jixing immediately sneered, "Hey, Old Second, you didn't happen to bully Miss Wen, did you? She's come all the way here, so just admit it. We in Qingxu Heaven have pride, and we don't allow scumbags!"
Su Luo was astonished. Had her second senior brother been a heartbreaker?
It didn't seem like it.
"Such a beautiful woman like Miss Wen, and you..."
She pulled Chu Tianshu, lowering her voice. "Second Senior Brother, how could you be like this? As a dignified man, you absolutely cannot be a faithless husband. What you do, you must take responsibility for."
Li Tianjue's brows furrowed; he clearly didn't know about this.
"Don't ask, it's not what you think!"
Seeing everyone looking at him strangely, Chu Tianshu became anxious. He couldn't bother explaining, his eyes widened as he pointed at Wen Daire. "You demoness, I warn you, don't talk nonsense! If you say a single word, I, I'll kill you!"
"Crown Prince Chu, I already told you, this matter cannot be let go of so easily..."
Wen Daier looked at him with a face like a blooming peach. Before she could finish, Chu Tianshu actually drew his sword and pointed it at her, saying urgently, "Shut up, you slut! I told you not to mention the past. What do you want? If you keep making trouble, believe it or not, I'll get desperate..."
Li Tianjue interrupted him. "Enough, Tianshu. Is this how you speak?"
He stared at Chu Tianshu with displeasure, his face stern. "If you dare to do something, you must dare to face it. Disciples of Qingxu Heaven have always been pure and self-disciplined. We absolutely do not allow people like you who abandon their responsibilities."
"Oh, Senior Brother, it's not what you think..."
"Then what is it? Tell us!"
Lu Jixing winked at Su Luo. "Junior Sister, you see? You can't judge a book by its cover. I've always said Old Second is unreliable, and now I see he's an irresponsible scumbag. Senior Brother, you must teach him a good lesson and not tarnish the reputation of our Qingxu Heaven."
The crowd erupted in murmurs, their gazes suggestive. Although they didn't say it outright, everyone had guessed what had happened.
Li Tianjue glared at Chu Tianshu and apologized to Wen Daier. "Miss Wen, I apologize. If my second junior brother has done anything to wrong you, I will definitely make him..."
"Oh, Young Master Li, you've misunderstood."
Wen Daier covered her mouth with a smile, shyly saying, "He didn't do anything to wrong me, it's just that..."
Chu Tianshu became anxious, rushing forward without hesitation, trying to cover her mouth again, but Wen Daier dodged him gracefully.
He was red-faced with embarrassment, shame, and anger. "Wen Daier, shut up! If you dare to say a word, do you believe I'll kill you?"
"Can you kill me?" Wen Daier threw him a flirtatious glance.
"You..."
At this point, the crowd's curiosity was not only not alleviated but became even more astonishing.
"Miss Wen, what exactly happened between you two?" Su Luo asked Wen Daier directly.
"Don't say it! I warn you not to say it!"
Chu Tianshu was about to go mad with anxiety and tried to stop her again, but Wen Daier hooked her arm around Su Luo's and hid behind her, whispering, "Miss Su, I'll tell you. Four years ago, I had an accident during an outdoor training session and happened to encounter Crown Prince Chu..."
"Shut up! Wen Daier, you shameless woman..."
Before he could finish, Chu Tianshu's acupoints were directly sealed by Li Tianjue.
"Miss Wen, please continue."
"Mm, at that time, I was bitten by a red-bellied leech snake and was disoriented. I couldn't control myself at all..." Wen Daier looked at Chu Tianshu with a shy expression, two blushes rising on her cheeks, like a vibrant peony, exuding femininity.
Hearing this, everyone began to guess.
Anyone with a little common sense understood that the red-bellied leech snake was an extremely lewd sixth-grade venomous snake. Once bitten, there was no cure. It was necessary to find the opposite sex for Yin-Yang harmonization, otherwise, the body would swell and explode.
Su Luo didn't know what to say. She patted Wen Daier's hand, then looked at the furious Chu Tianshu, and chuckled dryly. "So, my second senior brother couldn't control himself and... did something to Miss Wen..."
"Second Senior Brother, you're too wicked, taking advantage of someone's distress!" Su Luo glared at Chu Tianshu.
Unexpectedly, Wen Daier said coyly, "It wasn't like that, it's all my fault... I couldn't control myself, and I accidentally... oh, I didn't mean to, but with the poison of the red-bellied leech snake, there was really no other way..."
At these words, everyone was dumbfounded, and even Su Luo was stunned.
Did Wen Daier... force herself on Second Senior Brother?
The dignified Crown Prince of the Beiming Empire, unable to fight back or escape, was forced by a woman?!
The atmosphere instantly became awkward, a dead silence.
But after a moment, the crowd burst into laughter. "Hahahaha..."
Lu Jixing laughed the loudest. "So that's what happened, Old Second, you were actually... by Miss Wen... Hahahaha! You, a grown man, were... by a woman... No wonder you've been hiding from her for four years. If this gets out, you'll never be able to hold your head up again!"
Zhan Li, who had always been taciturn, stared intently at Chu Tianshu, his handsome face flushing red.
Su Luo also finally understood, couldn't help but laugh. "Second Senior Brother, I get it. No wonder you lost to Miss Wen in the last Heavenly Pride Competition. After all, this..."
How could he have the face to fight Wen Daier? More importantly, he couldn't win, so he naturally surrendered without a fight.
Li Tianjue put his forehead in his hand, speechless. "To think..."
He had truly misjudged.
One Tianji of the Six Desires Sect said indignantly, "Our Tianji is not unworthy of Crown Prince Chu, yet he keeps dodging us. It was everyone's first time, does he look down on our Tianji? Hmph!"
"Exactly, my Tianji is peerlessly beautiful and willing to take responsibility, why wouldn't Crown Prince Chu agree?"
"Does he still want to find a woman more beautiful than our Tianji?"
The other Tianjis chimed in volubly, making Chu Tianshu so embarrassed he couldn't lift his head.
Wen Daier sighed, her voice filled with longing. "Since I did it, I must take responsibility for Crown Prince Chu. But he has been avoiding me for these four years, not giving me a chance to make amends. Sigh... please persuade him, everyone."
"Wuwuwu!"
Chu Tianshu's anger made his blood rush to his head. His face was flushed with embarrassment, wishing he could commit suicide on the spot.
No one expected Wen Daier to be so formidable. The scene at the time must have been incredibly stimulating and shocking.
A few outer disciples couldn't help but snicker. Wen Ruchu and Sun Jian, while finding it amusing, were even more envious of Chu Tianshu's good fortune. Why didn't they encounter such a good thing?
If it were them, they wouldn't hide; they would be eager to marry this foremost Tianji and become the son-in-law of the Six Desires Sect.
"Miss Wen, rest assured, we will properly persuade Tianshu." Li Tianjue was also somewhat at a loss for words, and only then did he unseal Chu Tianshu's acupoints.
Before he could offer any comfort, Chu Tianshu yelped and jumped up, hiding behind a large rock in the distance.
A burst of wild laughter echoed around them...
