2141 The Terror of Words
Within the carriage.
The plain-robed woman frowned and suddenly said, “Meng Yao has such a vicious mind. To think that she would want to destroy Mo Qing’s reputation and Dao Heart!”
“As one of the four great fairies, Mo Qing is ranked alongside you. She shouldn’t be defeated so easily, right?”
The girl could not believe it.
!!The plain-robed woman said, “Among the four of us, Fairy Mo Qing is the quietest and doesn’t like to fight. She’s immersed in the Dao of painting and is relatively simple-minded.”
“Meng Yao’s words are indeed vicious and will hurt her immensely.”
The girl was still skeptical as she shook her head. “How can a few mere words hold such power?”
“You’re too young and haven’t left the palace much. You don’t know the dangers of the outside world,”
The plain-robed woman said, “Although Meng Yao only said a few words, you have to understand that there are millions of cultivators and mouths here.”
“Before long, this matter will spread through the entire Divine Firmament Mainland and even the Nine Firmament. At that time, countless mouths will be talking about this matter.”
“A crowd’s mouth can melt metal and destroy bones!”
“At that time, countless rumors will spread in Divine Firmament Mainland. The power of human words is much more terrifying than you can imagine!”
The girl frowned. “B-But Meng Yao’s words are baseless. Would anyone believe her? Isn’t it normal for fellow sect mates to help one another?”
The plain-robed woman sighed gently. “Rumors are always easier to spread than the truth.”
The girl was even more puzzled.
“Which do you think will bring about more attention? The fact that the Painting Immortal stood in to help a fellow sect mate or her having someone she fancies?” The plain-robed woman asked instead.
“Naturally… the latter,” The girl replied.
The plain-robed woman nodded and said, “Most of the time, people only believe in what they want to believe and don’t care about the truth.”
“Rumors stop at wise men. However, there aren’t many wise men in this world after all.”
Pausing for a moment, she sighed gently. “Meng Yao’s insight into the human heart is way too terrifying! She’s trying to make use of everyone’s mouths to destroy Fairy Mo Qing’s reputation!”
In midair.
“Bullsh*t!”
Fairy Mo Qing was furious but she did not know how to explain things right away.
She did not want to explain either.
Meng Yao’s words were way too ridiculous—how could anyone believe her?
But soon, Fairy Mo Qing realized that Meng Yao’s words were like a stone that caused a thousand ripples and caused a huge reaction in the crowd!
Many cultivators were already looking at her with strange gazes.
“Meng Yao, aren’t you way too vicious to want to destroy Senior Sister Mo Qing’s reputation?!” Although Yang Ruoxu was only a Heaven Immortal, he could not help but shout at Meng Yao.
“Fu…”
Meng Yao was not angered and said with a smile, “Why? The two of you can do it but you won’t allow others to speak about it?”
“I know Sister Mo Qing’s character the best. She stands aloof from worldly affairs and spends her days drawing flowers, birds, fish and insects. Why would she suddenly appear here?”
“The only explanation is that someone met with danger here. Furthermore, this must be someone who could have her sacrifice everything and come over.”
“The moment Sister Mo Qing arrived, she began to heal you. It’s clear how much she cares about you.”
“Nonsense!”
Mo Qing’s body trembled slightly.
She was obsessed with painting and did not like fuss. Therefore, she rarely interacted with others. The reason why her reputation grew was because every now and then, she would create paintings that experts of the upper world would fight for.
She had no experience in dealing with the situation before her and did not know how to defend herself.
“I thought that the Painting Immortal was some pure and innocent fairy. So, she has human needs as well.”
“It’s no wonder why Yang Ruoxu is here to host the Immortal Sect Selection despite his unknown background. In my opinion, it might be because of the Painting Immortal!”
“She can’t be considered as the Painting Immortal anymore, right? Now that she’s Dao companions with someone else, she would be removed from the four great fairies!”
“Right, do you guys think that the Painting Immortal and Yang Ruoxu had… hehe?!”
The crowd was noisy and the content of their discussions was getting more unbearable.
Although some cultivators felt that it was not the truth because the Painting Immortal did not admit to anything during this period of time, it was useless—they were drowned by the other voices before long.
This was the state of the rumor in Coiling Dragon Mountain Range alone—who knew what would happen when it spread further.
Meng Yao smiled calmly and was smug internally.
The impact of this matter would last for a long time.
Even if Fairy Mo Qing could stabilize her Dao Heart, her reputation would be completely destroyed and she might not even have a chance to break through in the future!
That was not important.
Most importantly, for Meng Yao, from this day forth, one of the four great fairies was gone.
That meant one less opponent for her.
If she had the chance, she would even want to destroy the other two fairies as well!
It would be best if there was only a single fairy in Divine Firmament Mainland that countless cultivators admired—the Zither Immortal!
“Hahahaha!”
Right then, a burst of laughter sounded from midair. It was extremely loud and penetrated the clouds, even drowning out the discussions of many cultivators.
Everyone looked over instinctively.
Su Zimo was holding his belly and laughing non-stop, as though he had discovered the funniest thing in the world.
If not for that laughter, almost everyone would have forgotten about him.
“Everyone, do you know why Prince Yuan Zuo is chasing after me?”
Su Zimo retracted his smile and asked mysteriously.
The crowd fell silent once more as many cultivators waited for Su Zimo to continue.
Su Zimo said, “That’s because I discovered the greatest secret of Prince Yuan Zuo, or rather, the royal family of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom!”
“What nonsense are you talking about?!”
Prince Yuan Zuo barked coldly.
Su Zimo sneered internally and continued, “Prince Yuan Zuo and Zither Immortal Meng Yao have already secretly become Dao companions and have had an illicit affair since a long time ago!”
The place fell into an uproar!
This news was even more shocking!
Even if the prince and princess were of different mothers, this was the greatest scandal of the Great Jin royal family!
“To hell with you!”
Prince Yuan Zuo was so angry that his face was green as he cursed.
The smile on Meng Yao’s face froze as well.
Su Zimo said, “If that’s not the case, why would Prince Yuan Zuo travel thousands of kilometers and even lead more than a hundred Execution Guards to kill me?”
“Given Prince Yuan Zuo’s current status, how can he activate Perfected Immortals?”
“And now, not only has Perfected Immortal Jing Yue appeared, even Fairy Meng Yao is here. It’s obvious why!”
Su Zimo sneered, “Why? You want to kill me because you’re more powerful when you join forces as both siblings and husband and wife?”
Within the carriage.
The plain-robed woman could not help but burst into laughter.
Uncontrollably, she shook her head. “This Su Zimo sure has a sharp tongue.”
“Princess, could he be telling the truth?”
The girl was stunned by Su Zimo and asked instinctively.
“Dear child, how is that possible?”
The plain-robed woman shook her head gently and said helplessly.
Pausing for a moment, she said, “However, after this fiasco created by him, the impact on Fairy Mo Qing has diminished significantly.”
