Upon noticing Lin Beichen's gaze, Wu Dazhu appeared exceedingly flustered, yet he still questioned Lin Beichen, "Why are you so cruel? What exactly did the old man do to hinder you? What did you discuss?"
"Why did you take his life? He was just a septuagenarian. How could you bring yourself to do it? Are your displays of compassion before everyone merely an act?"
"You better explain to everyone what exactly happened? Why did the old man lose his life after meeting with you?"
Wu Dazhu uttered without thinking, accusing Lin Beichen back. Lin Beichen, however, remained unfazed upon hearing Wu Dazhu's words, displaying not the slightest sign of panic.
Hu Yi couldn't bear to listen any longer; she didn't want to let these people misunderstand her master. Hu Yi angrily approached the village chief and said indignantly, "Stop babbling nonsense and slandering us! It's true we met with the old man, but he was perfectly fine when we left."
