Baili Hongzhuang's gaze also landed on Mo Yunjue, unable to understand why he suddenly acted like this, which was truly surprising.
She immediately wanted to pry open Mo Yunjue's hand, but his grip was incredibly strong, and for a moment, she couldn't break free from his hold.
Mo Yunjue's gaze fixed on Wu Yuexin, his deep black eyes filled with disgust, and his voice carried a chilling coldness.
"Even if you want to throw mud, at least come up with a more believable excuse."
Mo Yunjue then glanced at Baili Hongzhuang, his eyes revealing a touch of tenderness.
"Hongzhuang is my sister. I have a relationship with her? I truly admire your imagination."
With Mo Yunjue's words, the expressions of the practitioners present changed once again.
Baili Hongzhuang looked at Mo Yunjue in astonishment. She never expected that Mo Yunjue would use this method to help clear her name.
She was well aware that, in the face of Wu Yuexin's malicious accusations, denying them would be of little use. Most practitioners would believe that she was just making excuses for herself.
However, with Mo Yunjue speaking up like this, the situation completely changed.
She was Mo Yunjue's sister, and when Mo Yunjue personally spoke about all of this, his credibility far surpassed Wu Yuexin's words.
Anyone in this situation would choose to believe Mo Yunjue. As a result, Wu Yuexin's words lost all their power.
On the contrary, Wu Yuexin and the others would become objects of disdain and disgust for everyone.
Summer Zhiqing and the others, who were initially displeased with Mo Yunjue's actions, had their expressions change after hearing his words.
Others may not know, but they knew that Mo Yunjue had feelings for Baili Hongzhuang.
However, when Baili Hongzhuang was being slandered like this, Mo Yunjue could speak up to defend her. Just this act alone proved Mo Yunjue's sincerity.
At the very least, he genuinely cared about Hongzhuang's well-being and didn't want her to be tainted in any way.
"What nonsense is Wu Yuexin spouting? Saying that there's a romantic relationship between them, but they are siblings!"
"I knew it! Both Baili Hongzhuang and Mo Yunjue are so remarkably good-looking. No wonder they look so good together."
"This team from the medium-sized dynasty is truly despicable. They stooped so low as to slander a woman with such words. It's truly ruthless."
"I could tell early on that this woman has such an elegant temperament. She could never be the kind of woman Wu Yuexin described."
In an instant, the practitioners present immediately changed their tone. They suddenly became a bunch of armchair strategists, unlike before when they looked down on Baili Hongzhuang.
However, now they were filled with disgust and contempt towards Wu Yuexin and the others.
Usually, even if there were conflicts between practitioners, it would result in a battle at most.
The fact that Wu Yuexin came up with such a malicious scheme was truly embarrassing.
Fortunately, Mo Yunjue was Baili Hongzhuang's brother. If it had been another man, her tarnished reputation would have been solidified.
How important was reputation to a woman?
Immediately, everyone stood on Baili Hongzhuang's side.
Wu Yuexin was completely dumbfounded after hearing Mo Yunjue's words, her mind unable to react for a moment.
Mo Yunjue was actually Baili Hongzhuang's brother?
How was that possible?
However, upon realizing this, although Wu Yuexin found it extremely surprising, there was a hint of delight in her heart.
