Chapter 92: Disbelief and Suspicion

After putting away the medicine cauldron, Xiao Yan settled the bill and prepared to take his leave.

Just then, a mercenary rushed into the Myriad Medicines Hall and quickly called out to Boss Yao.

Boss Yao! Something has happened!

Hmm? What happened?

Boss Yao frowned slightly, and the mercenary, catching his breath, scanned the hall before turning to Boss Yao and asking.

Wheres Xiao Yixian?

Oh, shes in Boss Yao was about to answer when Xiao Yixian emerged from the kitchen, looking puzzled.

Whats going on?

Xiao Yixian! Theres trouble for you! The mercenary hurriedly spoke as he saw her, Theres a rumor spreading in town that you killed members of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company for treasure!

Huh? Who said that?

Xiao Yixian was taken aback, and the mercenary shook his head.

I dont know. Suddenly, everyone in town started spreading it, but Im not sure who started it.

Hearing the mercenarys words, Xiao Yans face suddenly turned cold, and both Xiao Yixian and Boss Yao also looked extremely displeased.

Without a doubt, this rumor must have originated from the Wolf Head Mercenary Company.

Thats just great It seems I underestimated Mu Lis shamelessness Xiao Yixian muttered coldly, lowering her evaluation of Mu Li to its lowest point.

How could a man be so shameless?!

Dont worry! Xiao Yixian said sternly, her eyes showing no fear, I have a clear conscience in what I do! The Wolf Head Mercenary Company deserves it! Lets see if the people in town believe me or that rumor!

Xiao Yixian was confident; she had great influence in Qingshan Town, and at the very least, she had the highest reputation there!

This kind of rumor would have no impact on her; no one would believe it!

Regardless of the truth of the matter, the current fact was that the only survivor among the Wolf Head Mercenary Company who accompanied Xiao Yixian was Mu Li, and she indeed had acquired a large amount of treasure that matched the description of the rumor.

If Xiao Yixian were to tell the truth about what happened in the Magic Beast Mountain to the residents of Qingshan Town and reveal the actions of Mu Li and his subordinates, everyone would undoubtedly stand on her side without any doubt.

However, it was already too late for that now.

The preemptive strike by the Wolf Head Mercenary Company left Xiao Yixian completely in a passive position. Even if she revealed the truth now, everyone would simply consider her trying to twist the facts.

As Xiao Yixian had said, no matter what she said now, it would be futile.

Just as Boss Yao felt at a loss, Xiao Yan suddenly stood up and spoke to him.

Boss Yao, Ill take my leave now.

Hmm?

Boss Yao was suddenly taken aback, and before he could respond, Xiao Yan had turned and left the Myriad Medicines Hall. Boss Yao hurriedly chased after him, shouting in a panic.

Xiao Yan! Come back!

However, by the time Boss Yao caught up and looked at the bustling crowd on the street, Xiao Yans figure was nowhere to be found.

That kid

Boss Yao murmured with some unwillingness, and Xiao Yixian suddenly understood something, her beautiful eyes tightly furrowed.

Boss Yao, does Xiao Yan intend to

Ah Its likely Boss Yao covered half of his face, filled with guilt.

If it were someone else, leaving at this time might have been to avoid being involved in trouble. After all, the rumor only mentioned Xiao Yixian and didnt implicate others.

But Boss Yao knew very well that Xiao Yan wasnt that kind of person.

Therefore, if Xiao Yan chose to leave at this time, there could only be one reason.

He wanted to shoulder the blame all by himself
