"Luo Tian! Before we came, you said you were going to put all the geniuses from the neighboring counties in their place and bring glory to our Lingyun County."
Anyone could tell that Qi Hong's words were meant to sow discord.
Nevertheless, Luo Tian could still feel numerous hostile gazes on him.
"Qi Hong, how dare you make such a baseless accusation! When did Luo Tian ever—"
Chen Haofei, standing beside him, flared up in anger and retorted.
"That's right! Luo Tian did say that. I heard it with my own two ears."
"I can bear witness!"
"Haha, I'm looking forward to Luo Tian bringing glory to our Lingyun County."
Nearby, the disciples of the Qi, Liu, Du, and other Noble Families all chimed in, their voices drowning out Chen Haofei's.
"The innocent need no defense."
Luo Tian held Chen Haofei back with a hand and gave Qi Hong and the others a cold look, not bothering to explain.
In this world, strength was the only thing that mattered.
