Senior Brother Liang glanced at the furious Heavenly Mountain Pavilion disciples in the distance, then smiled faintly. "Junior Brother Du, I'm afraid this is only a rumor. It has never been confirmed, so don't damage Miss Zhao's good name."
"Senior Brother, this is no rumor. It's a fact. Look at Zhao Xin'er's face. Don't you understand? As for her lover, he's this brat right here." Du Tianchou laughed.
Senior Brother Liang did indeed begin to harbor doubts, for Zhao Xin'er's expression was wrong, and the change had come the moment this brat appeared.
"How is that possible?" Dong Yan froze. Was Brother Huang really the partner Senior Sister Zhao had been searching for? But it did not look that way at all. Her Senior Sister Zhao had no affection whatsoever for Brother Huang, and even harbored killing intent toward him.
The expressions of Martial Uncle Chen and Martial Uncle Liu of the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion changed. Naturally, they too had noticed the change in Zhao Xin'er's expression. Though they did not believe any of this was true, their conviction had begun to waver. Zhao Xin'er's temperament had changed drastically over the past two years, leaving everyone utterly baffled. Since Zhao Xin'er herself would not speak of it, how could anyone else know the reason?
"And how did you find out?" Senior Brother Liang asked.
"Well..." Du Tianchou was momentarily at a loss for words. Was he supposed to say that everything afterward had happened because he had administered poison?
Du Tianchou said nothing, but Martial Uncle Liu of the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion asked, "Xin'er, what exactly is going on?"
"Get lost!" Zhao Xin'er did not answer her Martial Uncle Liu, instead barking coldly at Huang Xiao.
"Oh, my, my! Feeling sorry for your lover?" Du Tianchou roared with laughter.
