This whole thing was indeed a dirty move.
Shen Zhennan also felt he owed Gu Xi an apology, but for the greater good… for now, he could only let the conflict temporarily focus on Gu Xi.
"Gu, do you feel wronged?" he asked, looking up at Gu Xi.
Gu Xi thought for a moment, then nodded. "A little, but it's not that bad. Those rumors... they can't hurt me."
Besides... public opinion is a blade, but it's a double-edged one.
"Ye Nan and Qin Yi have been training well lately. They should be able to hold their own soon." After a pause, Gu Xi added, "There are a few other ability users who are almost there, too."
When that time comes, actions will speak louder than words, and the rumors will naturally fall apart on their own.
And some people, I imagine, will have to face the consequences of the public backlash.
Shen Zhennan roared with laughter after hearing this. This girl was broad-minded; he liked that about her.
'If only his son weren't such a disappointment,' he thought.
