A red figure flashed by.
A hand still covered in blood slapped He Guan right in the face.
The slap sent He Guan flying, and the other hand snatched the invitation card.
He Guan fell heavily to the ground.
“Where do you think you are?”
“A food market?” Luo Chen looked at He Guan coldly.
“You think you can just give orders in front of me?”
“Take a message to them for me!”
“This Cultivator Gathering is not about them coming to get even with me, Luo Wuji. It is about me, Luo Wuji, getting even with them!” Luo Chen said coldly.
“Get lost.”
Su Lingchu stood nearby and gave a bitter smile. Even though Luo Chen had lost all his power, his actions were still this arrogant!
But this was exactly what he liked about Luo Chen!
Living in this world, especially as a man, why should one ever beg and suffer in silence?
Why should one ever have to worry about the looks on other people’s faces?
He Guan climbed up with an ugly look on his face and then left with the help of the people behind him.
But He Guan looked sinister, and his eyes were full of deep hate.
Although his words just now were indeed a bit too much, he was at least speaking for the Cultivator Association. Luo Wuji having someone slap his face was equal to slapping the face of the Cultivator Association!
But then He Guan gave a cold sneer. Hmph, he wanted to see how long Luo Wuji could act so arrogant. Once the Cultivator Gathering started, Luo Wuji would definitely have enemies everywhere! And the good show was just starting!
He Guan had been gone for less than an hour.
A shocking piece of news broke on the internet! This news had no exact source because it was quite sensitive. But the news spread out all at once.
“Divine Doctor Yuan went to see Luo Wuji and then went missing.” Going missing was just a polite way to say it. In fact, many people realised what this really meant!
“What?”
“Divine Doctor Yuan had an accident?” Many people could not believe this! Soon after, more heavy news broke.
“Divine Doctor Yuan’s accident is linked to Luo Wuji!”
“That is impossible.”
“Divine Doctor Yuan went to treat Luo Wuji’s illness!”
But the person leaking the news seemed very sure and even shared some details.
“It is true. I am in Xinzhou. Divine Doctor Yuan really showed up in the park this morning. I saw him.”
“Did Divine Doctor Yuan really have an accident?” At first, these messages were only at the bottom of major forums and no one paid attention.
But that night, the news blew up completely.
“Divine Doctor Yuan went to Luo Wuji’s house to treat him, but something happened, and even Divine Doctor Yuan had an accident!”
This news completely exploded! Instantly, the internet boiled over.
“Impossible. Do not talk nonsense. My husband is not that kind of person. He would never bite the hand that feeds him!” Many people who supported Luo Chen spoke up to defend him.
“Hmph, this matter was released by the Cultivator Association, and there were people present who saw it with their own eyes. How could it be fake?”
“I never expected that Luo Wuji would actually be this kind of person!”
“Divine Doctor Yuan has always been friendly, kind, and happy to help others. How could Luo Wuji lay his hands on such a good man?” Post after post exploded instantly.
“No, we do not believe it. Luo Wuji would absolutely never do such a thing.” Moreover, many people went to Lan Beier’s forum to leave messages, wanting to check the truth. But Lan Beier’s forum never replied and simply closed the forum in the end. This seemed to confirm the matter directly!
“Luo Wuji, how can you face yourself?”
“He came to treat your illness out of kindness, and yet you let something happen to him?”
“I never thought you, Luo Wuji, would be this kind of person!” People on the internet started to blame Luo Chen. After all, this matter had blown up huge, and Divine Doctor Yuan had always appeared in the public eye as a kind old man who healed the sick and saved lives.
And most importantly, Divine Doctor Yuan took the initiative to treat Luo Chen at this critical moment. This was like giving timely help in a crisis.
If he had an accident at Luo Chen’s house, and it was Luo Chen who ordered the attack, then Luo Chen’s good name would be completely ruined.
“Impossible. No matter how stupid Luo Wuji is, he would not do such a thing.” Some people still insisted.
But very soon, someone on the official website of the Cultivator Association issued an official statement!
“Luo Wuji, you are in vain the number one person in China. Divine Doctor Yuan came to your door to treat you, yet you secretly attacked him and made him stay at your place forever!” As soon as this news came out, everyone was stunned. At first, it was just a rumour, but this was equal to an official announcement. And the matter was not over yet…
Wudang Mountain also spoke up.
“Luo Wuji, everyone has a heart of gratitude. Even if you do not accept the good intentions of others, you could just let Divine Doctor Yuan leave. Yet you laid such a cruel attack on him. Where is the reason?”
“Where is the justice?”
“We are waiting for you to give us an explanation!”
“Do you really think that just because you are the number one person in China, you can do whatever you want?”
These two official announcements truly and completely confirmed the truth of this matter.
And no one from Luo Chen’s side had stood up to say a word.
“Is Luo Wuji really this kind of person?”
“He treated the kindness of others as malice, and finally laid a cruel attack on Divine Doctor Yuan?” At this moment, even those who supported Luo Chen wavered all at once.
“Divine Doctor Yuan once saved my father’s life. I have met him. He is kind and easy to approach. Why would Luo Wuji do this?”
“And the man went with good intentions, yet he bit the hand that fed him?”
“Hmph, what a load of rubbish about being the number one person in China. He is actually such a petty villain behind people’s backs!”
“You have disappointed us too much, Luo Wuji!” Many people who originally supported Luo Chen turned against him one after another.
On Mount Luofu.
“If we want to destroy him, we must first ruin his good name!” Cang Songzi gave a cold sneer. This idea was certainly not his, but someone else’s.
But this idea was absolutely brilliant.
“Hmph, he has fallen into our trap step by step.”
“You were worried before that if we attacked him at the Cultivator Gathering, people would say we were deliberately bullying him because his power was gone, and that we were using our strength to bully the weak.”
“Will anyone care now?”
“Now, even if we kill him at the Cultivator Gathering, the people of the world will only clap and cheer!”
“Morality and justice are already on our side!” Cang Songzi looked at Yang Fuyun, Elder Jin, and the others, and smiled.
“Hmph, he is just a mere Luo Wuji. I have crossed more bridges than he has walked roads. How could I fail to deal with him?” Cang Songzi gave a cold sneer.
As soon as this matter came out, Luo Chen’s good name was absolutely ruined at once. Just as Cang Songzi said, even if they killed Luo Wuji at the Cultivator Gathering, so what?
When that time came, not a single person in the whole world would say half a word against them. Instead, they would clap and cheer!
