There was only silence that filled the air after Xiao Ming said this.
Everyone looked at her as if she was crazy, but eventually they turned to look at Senior Brother Tang as if they were waiting for his response.
Senior Brother Tang didn't say a single thing as he just calmly looked at Xiao Ming.
Finally, seeing that everyone was looking at him, Senior Brother Tang had no choice but to say, "I have no idea what you're talking about. Why would I ever do something like this?"
Xiao Ming just casually revealed a smile as she said, "I think that this is something that only you would know. I can only say that I'm disappointed by this and feel sorry for the people around you."
She narrowed her eyes as she looked at Wu Yun.
The way that she looked at her, it was almost as if she was implying something with Wu Yun.
Wu Yun couldn't help revealing a surprised and confused look when she saw Xiao Ming looking at her like this. But in the end, she revealed a look of disdain and turned away without any hesitation.
Xiao Ming shook her head when she saw this, but she didn't say anything else.
Senior Brother Tang had been silently watching the entire time.
It was only when Wu Yun turned away that he said, "Junior Sister Xiao, I think there must be some kind of misunderstanding. I'm sure that you're a bit frazzled because of what happened, so I won't blame you for these wild accusations. But you should calm down before you say something that you don't mean to say."
Xiao Ming narrowed her eyes to look at Senior Brother Tang before saying, "Wild accusations? Is that what you think these are?"
Senior Brother Tang said with a nod, "Of course. What else could they be when you have no evidence at all?"
"No evidence at all?" Xiao Ming repeated in an almost sarcastic tone.
Senior Brother Tang raised a brow when he heard this, but it made him look like he was just doubting her for putting suspicion on her rather than being worried that she had any actual evidence.
Xiao Ming casually picked up one of the attackers on the ground and raised it in front of everyone as she said, "What if I said that I saw this person hanging around Young Master Tang earlier? Is that enough evidence?"
Everyone knitted their brows when they heard this.
But Senior Brother Tang just gave a snort as he said, "Is that really all the evidence that you have? Can you even consider that evidence?"
Xiao Ming gave a shrug as she dropped that person on the ground before saying, "I'm just putting it out there in the open. Whether people are willing to believe me or not is up to them, I just want everyone to know what I have seen."
She didn't even bother caring about Senior Brother Tang's response as she once again turned to look at Wu Yun.
Wu Yun couldn't help being surprised to see Xiao Ming looking at her.
The expression on her face was still defiant as she looked at Xiao Ming, but there was a small part of her that was actually moved by Xiao Ming's words.
There was a small part of her that wondered if what Xiao Ming was implying was true.
After all, since that incident with the spirit beast, she had never really questioned why she had even been attacked by the spirit beast. Thinking about it after the fact made her realize that it really was strange for that spirit beast to appear there in the first place.
For him, he was emphasizing that he was going to take care of it instead of anyone else.
After the two of them said this, they suddenly glared at each other.
It was almost as if they saw themselves competing with each other, but there shouldn't have been anything for them to compete over. They were just taking care of the people that kept bothering them.
The disciple who had stood up for Senior Brother Tang looked like he was about to lose it.
After all, the way that Huang Xie and Yu Huang were acting, it was clear that they were looking down on him.
How could he allow them to look down on him like this?
So he had no choice but to step forward as if he was about to accept their fight.
But before he could, Senior Brother Tang suddenly reached out to grab this person and held him back as he said, "No, we're not doing this."
He turned back to Xiao Ming and said, "Junior Sister Xiao, I think that there must be some large misunderstanding here. For now, how about we both back down and settle this matter here? I'm sure that neither of us wants to see this matter going any further."
Xiao Ming revealed a surprised look at first since she didn't expect this response from Senior Brother Tang.
But after a moment of silence, she slowly gave a nod and said, "Alright, let's both take a step back and drop this matter."
The crowd was shocked to hear her say this and there were many that looked at her with doubtful looks, but Xiao Ming just ignored all of them.
The ones that looked at her with the most doubt were Huang Xie and Yu Huang.
The two of them really looked like they wanted to fight, but Xiao Ming just shook her head and said, "We're leaving."
Though they seemed a bit unwilling to go, they still followed her order and left.
Once Xiao Ming and the Love Sect group left, the others slowly started to disperse.
After all, without the Love Sect group here, there really wasn't anything to watch.
They had wanted to see a clash between the Love Sect and the Martial Might Sect after what had happened yesterday, but it didn't seem like that would happen.
For now, they had more important things to do.
Once the Love Sect group left, Wu Yun looked at Senior Brother Tang with a hesitant look for a bit before saying, "Senior Brother Tang, I have some other business to take care of. I'll be leaving first."
Senior Brother Tang just gave a nod with a smile before saying, "Junior Sister Wu, take care yourself. If there's anything you need help with, you can always come to me."
Wu Yun was taken aback since it was rare for Senior Brother Tang to smile at her like this.
But in the end, she still left.
Once she was gone, Senior Brother Tang also started to walk off.
There was a calm look on his face, but hidden deep in his eyes away from everyone, there was a look that made him seem like he was angry.
