"Brother Qiu, did you come here just to laugh at my joke?"

Qiu Linghao frowned, "In Zhenzhen's heart, am I the kind of person who laughs at others?"

Ye Zhenzhen heaved a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid that Qiu Linghao and Lu Lingyou's feelings for her would deteriorate if they stayed in contact for too long.

Now it seems that he still has feelings for me.

In fact, during this period of time, when she thought about how he did not follow her to Lintian Academy after the Trial of Integrity, but instead chose to follow Lu Lingyou to the Dome Academy, she decided that she would not give him a good face when they met next time.

However, there were more important things to do at the moment. Besides, after so long, his feelings towards her had not changed, so Ye Zhenzhen decided not to care about it for the time being.

She could only feel a little resentful and aggrieved, "Really?"

"But Brother Qiu, look, those people from the Western Wasteland, your Dome Academy, and even the Lintian Academy where I am, how many people now treat me as a joke. Listen to what they say, saying that the Demon Lord and I have a child, and that my master and I..."

Humiliation flashed through Ye Zhenzhen's eyes. "It was obviously Fourth Senior Brother who did what happened with the demons. And Master has already cleared my name. Why do people still think it was me who did it?"

“Brother Qiu, do you know? I don’t know how many times I had nightmares at midnight when the Northern Territory was being criticized by thousands of people. I thought I had left the Wuji Sect and returned to the Ye family, and everything was over. But now…”

Ye Zhenzhen's eyes were red, and a tear was about to fall, as she just looked at Qiu Linghao.

A trace of heartache flashed through Qiu Linghao's eyes, but he said, "It has indeed passed. It was you who brought it up again today. Otherwise, it wouldn't have come to this."

Ye Zhenzhen: .......

She looked at Qiu Linghao in disbelief.

What do you mean?

Shouldn't he feel sorry for herself and quickly find a way to help restore her reputation and relieve her from her current predicament?

Ye Zhenzhen's tears, which she had originally controlled, fell on the back of her hand with a plop. "Senior Brother Qiu, do you mean... that I deserve it?"

Qiu Linghao opened his mouth, but couldn't help saying, "That's not what I meant."

Ye Zhenzhen let go of the worry in her heart, but before she could let it go, Qiu Linghao said, "You should apologize to Junior Sister Lu in public."

Ye Zhenzhen:......

Her aggrieved and resentful face twisted for a moment.

Is Qiu Linghao crazy?

Why should she apologize?

Why should she apologize?

Didn't she say that she was feeling very uncomfortable and humiliated now?

Not only did he not help her, he didn't even offer her any comfort, and instead asked her to apologize to Lu Lingyou?

Seeing Ye Zhenzhen like this, Qiu Linghao also felt uncomfortable.

He took a breath.

He said out loud what he had prepared for a long time.

"There must be a misunderstanding between you and Junior Sister Lu. If you continue to hate each other, one day either you or she will die."

He really didn't want to see this situation.

"Regarding what happened with Lian Yue before, I believe you didn't do it on purpose. It was your master and senior brothers who were eager to protect you that made you do something wrong.

But today, it was you who first made the major families in the Western Wasteland suspect Junior Sister Lu..."

Facing Ye Zhenzhen's shocked look as if struck by lightning, Qiu Linghao paused and said, "But you are really wrong this time. To be honest, I have been with Junior Sister Lu and the others since I entered the Dome Academy. She has definitely not colluded with evil spirits or demons."

"Shut up." Ye Zhenzhen suddenly looked at Qiu Linghao coldly. Her chest rose and fell sharply, and she hated Qiu Linghao in her heart.

She hated betrayal the most in her life, and she couldn't accept being betrayed by this man who had been pursuing her relentlessly and whom she had always looked down upon.

Qiu Linghao was a little anxious. "Junior Sister Zhenzhen, please believe me. She really didn't collude with the evil spirits. You really misunderstood her this time. She is actually not as hateful as you think."

"I told you to shut up." Ye Zhenzhen's voice was sharp.

"Do you know that she killed four elders of the Han family, and she also killed my fourth brother, who is my biological fourth brother."

Qiu Linghao's brows were furrowed. In fact, he also guessed that the reason why Junior Sister Zhenzhen targeted Junior Sister Lu this time was because of Ye Tianluo.

"Come to think of it, I was there that day too. Junior Sister Lu can't really be blamed for what happened in the Han family's underground city. It was Han Zhao and your fourth brother who wanted to kill her without any reason, so things turned out like that. I know your fourth brother's matter must have saddened you, and I can understand why you did something irrational, but it's better to resolve a feud than to create one. At least your fourth brother managed to save his life. I believe that with the resources of the Ye family, the number one family in Tianwai Tian, ​​they will be able to cure him. Now you just need to apologize to her, and today's incident will be over. In the future, we can all..."

"Shut up, shut up. Can't you hear me? I told you to shut up!" Ye Zhenzhen almost screamed.

Her eyes were red, this time not because she felt wronged, but because she was angry. "If anyone should apologize, it should be her!" She was apologizing with her life.

Qiu Linghao was so scared when he saw Ye Zhenzhen suddenly reveal a side of her that he had never seen before that he took two steps back.

"She can't do that. She can't stand being wronged, she cares about her reputation, and she's a little narrow-minded. Sister Ye, you've always been gentle and kind, righteous, free and easy, and open-minded. You also know the greater good. For something like an apology, you have to be the first to speak..."

Qiu Linghao couldn't continue.

Because he found that Junior Sister Zhenzhen, who he thought was gentle, kind, and pure and virtuous, was looking at him with an almost murderous look.
