Wu Mingxu and Fang Lan were also dumbfounded. Their imposing auras faltered, as they clearly hadn't expected things to take such a turn.
Wu Mingxu's face flushed with embarrassment, but with so many people staring at him, he still refused to admit his mistake.
"Hmph. Who knows how those rumors got started?"
"For all we know, you're the one who deliberately spread them to mislead everyone, just to suck up to Song Bangzhu!"
The more he spoke, the more convinced he became of his own theory. After all, merely being associated with the Ghost King Valley would elevate her status considerably.
Countless people were envious of the Ghost King Valley's prestige!
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn back to Song Wanning. What Wu Mingxu said wasn't entirely out of the question.
In any case, they could only remain silent for now, lest they be foolishly dragged into the mess.
