A few seconds later had passed, and Phoebe's expression returned to normal.
Alas, the damage had already been done and the soldiers began to misunderstand her smile.
They were all starting to have their own conclusion in their mind.
Such as why Phoebe was adamant in inviting an outsider to their team. As well as why she was so defensive of him when they were gossiping about him.
Everything started to make sense in their mind if whatever conjecture they had made was the truth.
After all, it would explain the preferential treatment that only Shi Tian so far had enjoyed from their commander.
Poor Phoebe probably had never expected that her lovely smile would be misunderstood to such an extent. Now, even if she decided and attempted to jump into a river to clear her conscience, people might not even believe her at all.
