The Green-robed Girl said, "Mr. Bai, there's no need to pin the blame on me first. Wait until the Heart Oath has been sworn before you say that."
A cold glint flashed in Bai Laoping's eyes. He said icily, "At this point, you still refuse to confess? Brother Dongge, surely you have a few words to say."
The Green-robed Girl said, "Why go out of your way to change the subject, Mr. Bai? By your own account, several fellow cultivators from the Kongling Sect were there at the time, including Young Master Bai. Since you all agree with the accusations made by Xie Wuji and Lu Guangming, you should all swear the Heart Oath as well. If every one of you can swear it, I'll take my own life to answer to the world."
She came from a prominent household and had seen her share of secret schemes and bitter infighting.
By now, how could she fail to see Bai Laoping's true aim? He was trying to protect the Young Master of the Bai family.
Sure enough, as soon as she spoke, Young Master Bai's face turned ashen. Bai Laoping gave a cold snort and said, "I never imagined Fairy Yu would be so unreasonable. Shall I swear an oath as well?"
"Mr. Bai, why get angry? These two youngsters don't know their place. Please don't take offense."
A middle-aged man in a blue robe strode forward and spoke in a loud voice.
The patterns on his blue robe were identical to those on the Green-robed Girl and the Green-robed Fairy's garments.
He was Xia Duoze, an Outer Sect Disciple and the leader of the Taiqing Upper Sect's delegation for the trial on Kongling Island.
"Brother Xia, what do you have to say?"
Bai Laoping clasped his hands in greeting.
