Josh was satisfied and kicked Susan with his foot: "Get lost."
Susan scrambled back to the team, clutching her injured hand.
The butler suddenly came over from afar and whispered something in Xue Guo’s ear.
Xue Guo’s expression eased a bit, and she nodded.
A look of joy appeared on several people’s faces.
The butler looked at Yuze and Josh again, and spoke meticulously: "Please don’t cause trouble or fight in the manor, otherwise you will permanently lose the chance to enter the mortuary."
Yuze raised an eyebrow slightly.
Josh nodded, "Got it."
Her spider silk was on Susan; she just heard the butler say someone in their team was injured, so they only needed two to pass the trial to enter the mortuary.
This was equivalent to a backdoor allowance.
Xue Guo whispered something in Ma Zixuan’s ear, then stepped onto the lawn with Sun Qimeng, disappearing from the original spot, leaving only Qiong, Ma Zixuan, and Susan.
Ma Zixuan looked at Yuze and Josh with amusement: "What’s so great about you? Just relying on brute force to pass the level, aren’t you stuck here for so long just like a minor checkpoint?"
Qiong pretended to hold him back.
Ma Zixuan had been swallowing his anger from earlier, unable to hold it back, and acted with extra sincerity: "Why not say it? It’s not just me saying it. The Golden Shit Stirrer relies on brute force to pass the level; it’s a group of brainless wastes. Do others need to say it? Isn’t this something acknowledged by the whole planet?"
Josh raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
Yuze didn’t bother arguing with him, leaning on the side, waiting for Rob to come out.
Seeing no reaction from them, Ma Zixuan sneered with a strange tone: "Oh? That filthy one hasn’t come out yet? Who doesn’t know his mess? Often pretending to be deeply wounded and having a past story, who is he showing it to?"
Yuze’s face turned cold.
Josh looked over as well.
Seeing their reaction, Ma Zixuan got even more excited: "Maybe he misses those colorful and fragrant days in the lonely nights..."
Yuze coldly stared at him, his whole aura almost freezing the place.
Josh held him back, giving him a look.
This was obviously their provocation strategy, trying to anger them intentionally to make them use force; thus, they wouldn’t be able to proceed along the mortuary path.
Yuze pressed his lips tightly, lowered his eyes, and leaned against the wall beside him.
Ma Zixuan suddenly laughed: "What? Did I hit the nail on the head?"
Josh looked at him with amusement: "Spouting accusations requires moderation, doesn’t it? Putting your own experiences onto others?"
"What do you mean?" Ma Zixuan seemed to hear a huge joke: "I’m accusing? Who doesn’t know about this in Youlaiya City?"
Youlaiya City is one of the stars among the 28 Central Stars, also the highest-level city in the nobles’ district, accessible only to the Marquis and above; ordinary people can hardly get there.
Josh spread her hands: "I don’t know if Rob has been to Youlaiya City, but I saw what you did in Burn City last time, didn’t I?"
Upon hearing this, Ma Zixuan said aloud: "What nonsense are you spouting?"
Josh: "Last week, on the second floor of the club next to Burn City, I saw you held and hugged by an old man, with both hands on the window railing. Behind you stood a blonde old man wearing glasses, both of you in red shirts. Do you want me to say more?"
These words caused an uproar.
Even Yuze was surprised, eyebrows raising; if he hadn’t known that Josh was with him all last week at the auction, he might have thought Josh was telling the truth.
Ma Zixuan’s face turned extraordinarily ugly: "What are you blabbering about?!"
Josh sneered: "What? Get angry when someone exposes you? I even have photos, want them?"
Furious, Ma Zixuan shouted: "Stop blabbering nonsense! What crap are you spouting?! When was I hugging and kissing men? You think I’m Rob?"
Josh coldly looked at him: "It’s something you did yourself, yet you blame it on our Rob. People like you disgust me! Who doesn’t know Rob is severely androphobic??"
Barrage: [Holy crap, what a shocking revelation!]
[I swear, Ma Zixuan sometimes really does seem like that kind of person.]
[I always wondered how can a man have such a slim waist and curvy bottom!]
[He always pretends to be lecherous towards girls to cover his real orientation!]
[I’ve noticed many people are like that! Rob is so openly effeminate, what’s there to doubt? If he really was with a man, he’d hide it, just like Ma Zixuan, deliberately showing a macho side to mislead. ]
[The person above summed it up!]
Josh turned to Qiong: "Don’t pull that trick either. I see you and Ma Zixuan are two of a kind, not much better! You rely on your looks, then try to dump blame on our Rob, shameless!"
Qiong, a steady man who had never been insulted like this, instantly darkened his face: "You’re spouting nonsense!"
Ma Zixuan yelled in anger: "Rob is the real one!"
Josh quickly countered: "You are! I saw it in Burn City!"
Ma Zixuan, face flushed with anger, rushed forward to tear at her mouth: "Stop slandering! Rob’s dirty deeds, you guys aren’t admitting, right?"
Josh fearlessly put her face close: "Our Rob is openly effeminate, unlike you, covering ears while stealing the bell, thief yells stop, guilty conscience!"
"I’ll rip your mouth off!" Ma Zixuan flew into a rage, typically hot-headed, he couldn’t take such provocation.
Qiong quickly held him back.
Originally, they intended to provoke the Golden Shit Stirrer, not expecting Josh to have such a sharp tongue, instead angering Ma Zixuan.
Yuze also reacted suddenly, realizing Josh’s mind worked much faster in some arguments.
If he really got provoked to attack Ma Zixuan earlier, it would have caused their team to lose the qualification to enter the mortuary.
Moreover, wouldn’t that be an indirect confession, helping Rob admit to his past disgrace?
Josh deliberately retaliated, using their words to fight back, with the live audience unaware of the truth.
If everyone is dirty, throwing enough dirt, people would naturally think Ma Zixuan said those out of deliberate malice, not believing a word.
No one would doubt Rob’s innocence either.
Yuze secretly breathed a sigh of relief, unable to help but smile, seeing Josh infuriating the opponents.
