Chapter 476 Big Lie
Bai Wanwan's cold and sharp questioning was like a quenched steel needle, piercing Jiao Yuan's heart.
"You mean... Lan Yi is lying to me?" Jiao Yuan's voice was terrifyingly low, containing suppressed thunderous rage. His thick, dark eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and his gaze towards Bai Wanwan was full of scrutiny and obvious displeasure.
He was unwilling to believe the words of a strange young female and to question his wife.
The woman in blue had no other beast mates in order to be with him.
He owed her a great debt and vowed to protect her for the rest of his life.
The woman in blue nestled in his arms, her exquisite face instantly displaying just the right amount of grievance and vulnerability, with even glistening tears clinging to her long eyelashes.
She buried her face deeper into Jiao Yuan's firm chest, her shoulders trembling slightly, as if she had suffered a great injustice and was silently accusing Bai Wanwan of slander.
The beastmen around Bai Wanwan were experiencing extremely complex emotions at this moment.
They had just witnessed firsthand how the man in blue had distorted the truth and viciously insulted Shuanghua.
That face, which bore a striking resemblance to Wanwan's real appearance, now draped in a mask of falsehood, made them extremely uncomfortable.
How could a mother and son, who are connected by blood to the Wanwan woman, have such a character?
No wonder they lost Wanwan; their heartache for Bai Wanwan was almost overflowing.
Jiaoyuan patted the blue-clothed man's arm to comfort him, then looked up at Bai Wanwan again.
Similarly, when the man in blue glanced at Bai Wanwan, his eyes clearly carried a hint of warning.
Bai Wanwan ignored it.
Her gaze was calm and undisturbed, her voice clear and steady, piercing through the fury of the dragon abyss:
"Chief Jiaoyuan, I have no intention of judging your feelings. I only want you to consider a few questions fairly."
She paused, her gaze sweeping over the slightly stiff back of the man in blue, and continued, "Every time your wife accused Aunt Shuang of bullying and framing her, did you ever personally witness or hear Aunt Shuang physically assault or verbally abuse you? Or did your wife always cry and complain to you, and then you naturally assume it was Aunt Shuang's fault?"
"Furthermore," Bai Wanwan's tone carried a hint of barely perceptible sarcasm, "if it is truly as your wife says, that Aunt Shuang harbors resentment towards her and targets her at every turn, then why is it always your wife who takes the initiative to provoke her? Why has Aunt Shuang never set foot on your territory to 'bully' her? Does this make sense? Is it that Aunt Shuang is haunting you, or... is your wife feeling guilty and constantly trying to suppress dissidents and eliminate potential threats?"
These words, like peeling an onion, reveal the layers of appearance one by one.
From her brief conversation with Aunt Shuang, Bai Wanwan roughly learned that Lan Yi always took the initiative, constantly trying to make his presence known in front of Jiao Yuan, thus deepening his dislike for Shuang Hua.
When Bai Wanwan so bluntly pointed out the key point, the blue-clad figure, who was buried in Jiao Yuan's arms, suddenly stiffened. Although he tried his best to hide it, it was still noticed by those around him.
Jiao Yuan also subconsciously looked down at the blue-clad figure in his arms.
A hint of doubt, like a pebble thrown into a still lake, stirred ripples on his solidified cognitive barrier.
But this wavering was fleeting!
Will not!
The woman in blue is his wife, the beloved female he wants to protect for the rest of his life.
How could he doubt her based on a few words from outsiders?
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the agitation in his heart, and turned his complicated gaze to Shuanghua, who stood quietly to one side, seemingly detached from the situation.
"Shuanghua, if... I misunderstood you in the past and hurt you because of certain things, I apologize to you."
He downplayed the issue, not wanting to involve the man in blue.
These seemingly apologetic words actually still placed the person in blue in a position where their actions were understandable.
Bai Wanwan sighed inwardly. Males in this world are generally love-struck; once they've made up their minds, nothing can change their minds.
This Jiaoyuan clan chief is powerful, but he is clueless when it comes to matters of the heart.
The male and female creatures before her were likely the original owner's father and mother, and she did not want to have too much contact with them.
But two groups of male dragons had tried to harm her before, and this matter couldn't just be left unresolved.
"You should leave..." Shuanghua's voice was hoarse and weary.
She didn't even glance at Jiao Yuan and Lan Yi, as if they were nothing but air. She simply turned around, forced a smile that looked worse than a grimace at Bai Wanwan, and said in a voice so soft it was almost inaudible, "Wanwan, let's... go inside."
Jiao Yuan looked at Shuang Hua's desperate and distant back and felt a strange tightness in his heart, but the blue-clothed woman in his arms let out a weak whimper at the right time, which immediately drew his attention back.
Without further hesitation, he hugged the man in blue tightly and turned to leave this place that was causing him so much distress.
"Clan Chief Jiaoyuan." Bai Wanwan's cold voice rang out again, like an ice bead falling to the ground, clearly stopping his steps.
Jiao Yuan paused, then turned back impatiently: "Is there anything else?"
He had very mixed feelings about the little female; he was annoyed by her rudeness, yet inexplicably unable to get truly angry at her.
Bai Wanwan's gaze was fixed on Jiao Yuan as she asked, word by word, "Your female coral cannot awaken the Tree of Life. Have you never thought about this more deeply?"
Jiao Yuan's expression changed instantly!
This is one of the tribe's most closely guarded secrets. How could this little female know it?
The blue-clad figure, who had been "weakly" leaning against Jiao Yuan's chest, reacted even more violently.
The feigned vulnerability on her face was instantly replaced by extreme panic.
Her stunningly beautiful face was drained of all color, turning deathly pale, and her eyes were filled with disbelief and horror.
She frantically clutched the hem of her skirt, unsure of what to do.
All of this was witnessed by Bai Wanwan and her beast husbands!
Jiao Yuan stared at Bai Wanwan with suspicion and disbelief, his voice carrying an unprecedented sternness and scrutiny, "How did you, a female from another race, know the secrets of my race? Did Shuanghua tell you?"
He subconsciously glanced at Shuanghua's back, his eyes filled with suspicion.
Bai Wanwan didn't directly answer his question about Shuanghua, but instead dropped an even bigger bombshell:
"No. It was a female who has already died who told me."
Bai Wanwan's voice carried a chilling coldness, "That female told me that the life tree of the Jiaolong tribe is about to wither and die. She also said that it all stemmed from a lie, a colossal lie about bloodlines."
Jiao Yuan's expression shifted, his brows furrowed. Who was that female?
What is the biggest lie about bloodlines?
A smile appeared on Bai Wanwan's lips as she quietly observed the changing expressions of the original owner's mother and son.
She almost crushed her beautiful dress.
"What else do you know? Please tell me." Jiao Yuan took a step forward, his expression urgent.
“If the chieftain wants to know these things, I think you’d know better by asking the females around you than by asking me.”
Although she didn't know exactly what happened back then, she could tell from the panicked expression on Lan Yi's face.
This matter is probably related to her.
