The City Lord's words immediately stirred up an uproar among the crowd as everyone stared incredulously at Jun Xie.
What he had said earlier had been so blatantly obvious. Both overtly and covertly, he had pointed out that these lofts had not been built by Jun Xie at all. He had merely seized the opportunity when the City Lord had not even had the chance to declare who the lofts belonged to in order to usurp the ownership, insisting that the lofts had been built by him!
Almost at the same moment the City Lord's voice fell, pairs of suspicious gazes turned uniformly upon the figure of Jun Xie.
Jun Xie's eyes narrowed up slightly, a chilling glint flashing within them, as she stared coldly at the City Lord who was trying to twist right from wrong.
The City Lord saw that Jun Xie did not reply and his heart was overjoyed. Before he had a clear grasp of Jun Xie's powers, he did not dare to clash head on with Jun Xie. Afterall, a youth who was able to kill Liu Er and more than ten of his men with his power alone, was definitely not someone easy to deal with.
But …..
Even if he could not do it, he still had other ways!
How could a young youth possibly be a match for him!?
"Young Master Jun, seeing that you are still young and ignorant, your humble self will not pursue this matter any further. But these lofts have not been fully built and there are still many unsafe elements in many places. For you to have so rashly deceived all these people to come here just to boost your own reputation, aren't you treating human lives a little too lightly!?" The City Lord pressed on, looking highly pained as he stared at Jun Xie.
At that moment, almost all the refugees were looking at Jun Xie with strange gazes.
They had already felt that the construction of these lofts was rather strange. They did not know how much money had been spent on such a large undertaking, but they had estimated that it would be an astronomical figure. Jun Xie was so young and he was not even a native of the Clear Breeze City but he was willing to fork out such a large sum of money to build a haven for people who had nothing to do with him. No matter how they looked at it, it just seemed a little strange.
Some of them had already been suspicious of Jun Xie's age, thinking that Jun Xie was just too young and the City Lord's words were more convincing. Afterall, the construction of these lofts had not been a simple task and the City Lord had indeed been taking good care of the refugees all this while. If they said that the City Lord had built these lofts, it would be more convincing.
Faced with the Grand Chieftain's slander, faced with the suspicious and doubtful gazes of the refugees, Jun Wu Xie remained as steady as Mount Tai, her cold eyes not stirring the slightest ripple.
The City Lord was quite clever. Not only did he successfully pin such a crime on her head, he even brazenly wanted to take these pavilions for himself. His plan was quite good.
Jun Wu Xie laughed coldly in her heart, but she did not show it on her face.
Jun Xie's silence made the City Lord's voice grow louder and louder, laughing in his heart at Jun Xie's youthful ignorance, flustered and flustered to the point that he could not even say a single word!
The Grand Chieftain wasn't afraid that Jun Xie would really make a move against him. With the soldiers behind him, he had nothing to fear. Once Jun Xie opened his mouth, he would be able to accuse him of flying into a rage out of humiliation. It would then be a piece of cake for him to occupy all these buildings one by one!
However, just as the City Lord was about to continue pouring dirty water onto Jun Xie's face, the corners of Jun Xie's mouth suddenly curled up into a sneer. "Are you done?"
The City Lord was slightly taken aback.
Jun Wu Xie then said: "If you're done, it's my turn." She clapped her hands together and the tall figure of Ye Sha suddenly leapt to her side!
