"Shi Qingqing and the others previously claimed that Luo Qingtong and her group falsely accused them of attempting to harm others in the Kaiyuan Secret Realm. Now it seems, perhaps there really was such a matter!"
"Yes! Luo Qingtong and her group's strength suddenly became so powerful; they must have had an extraordinary adventure in the Kaiyuan Secret Realm! Maybe it was Shi Qingqing and her group who wanted to rob and kill them!"
"Exactly! Do you guys remember? When Shi Qingqing and her group came out, Luo Qingtong and her group still hadn't emerged, and then the Light Gate suddenly collapsed! Isn't that too much of a coincidence?"
The crowd whispered among themselves.
Before, they didn't know about Luo Qingtong and her group's strength, so naturally, they believed Shi Qingqing's words.
But now, seeing the power of Luo Qingtong and her group, the crowd immediately started to doubt what Shi Qingqing and the others had said before!
No matter how one looks at it, Shi Qingqing and her group had a motive to take action against Luo Qingtong's group!
Moreover, the timing of the Light Gate's shattering is too coincidental! Why did it have to break when Luo Qingtong and her group hadn't yet come out?
Shi Qingqing and her group were the last to come out; who knows what they did to Luo Qingtong's group inside the Kaiyuan Secret Realm?
As the crowd spoke, their eyes unanimously turned towards Shi Qingqing and her group on the stage.
If that was the case, then Shi Qingqing and her group's intentions were truly malicious. Not content with trying to kill Luo Qingtong and her group, they even deliberately slandered them, and later arranged for Luo Qingtong and her group to participate in the year-end assessment, planning to deal with them!
To kill Luo Qingtong and her group during the year-end assessment!
The crowd thought of this with unspeakable horror, and the way they looked at Shi Qingqing and the others was like seeing snakes and scorpions or ghosts and monsters!
Such people are truly unworthy of being the symbol of the Tianyu Branch!
Malicious minds, unscrupulous methods!
Good heavens! This is simply terrifying!
Shi Qingqing and her group were made extremely embarrassed by the looks of the crowd around them.
Especially Shi Qingqing, who had just been enjoying the admiration and envy of everyone's attention.
But now it had turned around so quickly, the way everyone looked at her was both contemptuous and disdainful; suddenly she almost bit her silver teeth to pieces.
"Junior Sister Luo, I didn't expect that not only did you survive in the Kaiyuan Secret Realm, but you also gained such fortune and increased your strength to this extent."
Seething with jealousy, Shi Qingqing gritted her teeth and looked at the aura emanating from Luo Qingtong and her group.
"However, even so, it does not hide the fact that you attacked us in the Kaiyuan Secret Realm and wanted to kill us!"
Shi Qingqing held her head high, trying to turn the tables first, intending to confuse the situation and make people think that indeed it was Luo Qingtong who attacked them first, which was why they retaliated.
But in reality, it was they who wanted to kill Little Tyrant Yuan and the others first, and that's why Luo Qingtong retaliated.
"Since both parties have grievances and each insists on their own version, let's settle the truth in the upcoming year-end assessment!"
"Luo Qingtong, this time it's either you die or we live! We shall set up a life-and-death duel; do you dare to accept it?"
Shi Qingqing originally planned to force Luo Qingtong and her group out and then humiliate them thoroughly.
Then she would pretend to be magnanimous and give Luo Qingtong and her group a chance to settle their grievances, before attacking them on the stage and killing them!
But now that Luo Qingtong and her group's strength had become so formidable, that plan was useless!
And with the strength of Luo Qingtong's group, the academy would surely protect them vigorously and nurture them!
How could Shi Qingqing tolerate such a development?
