Chapter 227 Slander

"Chief, the Central Plains base hasn't put any pressure on that person. What should we do?" a scout from the Southwest base reported.

The Southwest Base is the one that will be merged this time, and the leader's daughter who likes Lin Feng is also from this base.

Just as Lin Feng guessed, there might be some liking involved, but it was mostly the Southwest Base that fueled the flames.

Everyone knows that the Central Plains Base is the strongest. It's said that there are crystal cores here that can be used to cultivate supernatural abilities. In fact, the Southwest Base needs some more from this base merger.

"Have Zhu'er go see Lin Feng a few more times, and remember to spread the word while she's at it," Nanbo, the leader of the Southwest Base, continued to give instructions.

"Yes!"

What Wu Mingyue and the others are worried about now is that the rumors about the Central Plains Base were spread by them. These rumors include that the daughter of the Southwest Base leader and Lin Feng of the Central Plains Base are truly in love, and that life would be better for both bases if they were together. Such messages have long been spread to the masses by people from the Southwest Base.

"Dad, I don't want to go see Lin Feng anymore. He always rejects me." Nan Bo had just made the arrangements when his daughter, Nan Zhu'er, came to express her dissatisfaction.

Lin Feng was like a wooden stake; no matter how much she tried to be friendly, he wouldn't respond.

Even if Nan Zhu'er initially liked him, she lost all affection after being tormented. She was practically a princess in the Southwest Base, and even though she had humbled herself so much, Lin Feng still didn't treat her well. It was just too embarrassing.

"Pearl, you need to know that Lin Feng isn't the most important thing. What's important now is the integration of the base, and we need to find out from the Central Plains base how they purify the crystal cores."

"Alright, I understand!" As soon as Nanbo became serious, Nanzhu knew there was no room for discussion.

Although she was unwilling, she knew the seriousness of what her father was saying, so she had no choice but to do as he said.

She approached Lin Feng again, but he refused once more: "Miss Nan Zhu'er, I have made my stance clear many times. I hope you will stop wasting your time. We in the Central Plains base are well aware of your Southwest Base's intentions."

Nan Zhuer was extremely embarrassed and slunk back home.

But the more Lin Feng refused, the more determined she became.

Since you can't handle Lin Feng, then go find his girlfriend.

Having learned that Wu Mingyue had returned from her mission, Nan Zhuer immediately arranged to meet her at the milk tea shop.

"Miss Wu!"

"What brings you here, Miss Nan?" Wu Mingyue asked directly after arriving.

"Miss Wu, why are you in such a hurry? Come and try this taro boba milk tea. I heard it's 80% of the taste from before the apocalypse!" Nan Zhu'er said, indicating that there was no rush.

"I don't think Ms. Nan and I are the kind of people who can just sit together and drink milk tea peacefully!"

It's funny, she only drinks with her best friend Yu Cancan!

Given Wu Mingyue's cold attitude, Nan Zhuer spoke directly.

"Since Miss Wu is unwilling to have milk tea with me, then I'll be frank: Miss Wu, please leave Lin Feng!"

Wu Mingyue waited a while without speaking, then asked, "And then? Where are the things?"

"What is that?" Nan Zhu'er asked, somewhat confused.

"No way, you're just telling me to leave Lin Feng like this? Shouldn't you at least throw out a check for five million or a bag of crystal cores? That's how the story should go!"

Wu Mingyue took a sip of milk tea and said casually.

"You! Oh, you want something? Fine, as long as you leave Lin Feng, I'll give you five hundred crystal cores!" Nan Zhu was initially angry at Wu Mingyue's words, but then she calmed down.

"Only five hundred? It seems Lin Feng isn't worth much in Miss Nan's eyes!"

Nan Zhu'er agreed with this statement. She never felt that Lin Feng was the only one she could be with; it was just that her father insisted on choosing Lin Feng.

"How much do you want?"

"Didn't I say five million?!"

"Five million? Are you robbing me?! Who has five million crystal cores right now?!" Nan Zhu'er was so angry that she couldn't even finish her milk tea.

"So you can't afford it? If you can't, then stop pretending! Anyway, once I get five million crystal cores, I'll leave Lin Feng!" Wu Mingyue finished her milk tea and left.

This supposedly daughter of the base leader isn't all that great, is she?

Wu Mingyue left gracefully, leaving behind a furious Nan Zhuer.

As soon as she got home, her best friend Yu Cancan immediately came to greet her.

"Mingyue, I heard that young lady asked you to meet her. Why didn't you take me with you? It's too dangerous!"

Yu Cancan looked at her disapprovingly.

"Don't worry, she can't hurt me in our base," Wu Mingyue said, indicating that there was no need to worry.

"So, how did your conversation go?"

Seeing this, Wu Mingyue told Yu Cancan about their conversation, "Well done, sister! That's how it should be! Who does she think she is, coming here to give you orders? She really doesn't know her place. We won't tolerate her!"

"Yeah, I'm not afraid of her at all, but I don't know about Lin Feng..."

"Oh sister, you're mistaken. That young lady only targeted you because she couldn't win Lin Feng over. Don't you know our captain? He's never been nice to any woman except you."

Yu Cancan told her not to worry, Lin Feng would definitely be fine.

"However, you should still talk to Lin Feng!"

Wu Mingyue nodded, but before she could even communicate with Lin Feng, a message had already spread.

"What? I hit Nan Zhuer and disfigured her face?" Wu Mingyue was incredulous when she heard her best friend mention the news circulating in the base.

"No, no, to be precise, you hit Nan Zhuer and threw milk tea in her face, causing her to be disfigured!"

Yu Cancan shook her head and told the truth of the rumors circulating online.

"Bullshit, that's slander! I didn't touch her at all!" Wu Mingyue was speechless; she hadn't laid a hand on her at all.

"Sister, it's not about whether you laid a hand on her or not. The news is that Nan Zhu'er's father is furious when he found out you hit her and is demanding an explanation from our base! Also, many people at the base aren't on your side, saying you were too impulsive and shouldn't have treated the guests like that!"

Yu Cancan is worried about this: public opinion is not on her and her sister's side right now!

"But I didn't lay a hand on her at all! No, I have to confront Nan Zhu'er. How could she slander me like this!"

Yu Cancan quickly stopped Wu Mingyue, "Now is not the time for you to confront her and solve the problem. Nan Zhuer's father has intervened, and the base leaders will probably come to ask you what happened!"

“Ask away! I won’t admit to anything I didn’t do!” Wu Mingyue said firmly.

Yu Cancan sighed. At this point, evidence was needed. Being tough was useless. If there was no evidence, this matter would probably really be blamed on her sisters!

Men are such troublemakers!
