Chapter 97 Wrath of Kun - 6 Madam Yu arrived with her people to clear the dishes...

Madam Yu came with her servants to clear the dishes, only to see Wu Chen's departing figure. "Eh, what's wrong with Wu Shenshi? Weren't we supposed to be discussing important matters? Why did he leave?"

Yu Jitang spoke before Miss Yu could, “Our young lady caused trouble at Nukun Peak and angered Lu Qing, who then confiscated her sword. She came back and complained to her father. That’s why my seventeenth uncle came to interrogate her without even asking what happened. Wu Chen was worried that Lu Qing would be bullied, so he rushed back anxiously.”

Before Madam Yu could say anything, Yu Jitang turned to his seventeenth uncle and immediately retorted, "Seventeenth Uncle, I think your daughter is beyond help. You might as well just marry her off to some enemy so she can bring trouble to them. You're not old yet, hurry up and have another child; anything would be better than this one. Look at how your precious daughter has driven Wu Chen to the point where he even uttered the term 'simple-faced but cunning.' You'd better hurry up and find someone to marry her off before this gets out. Otherwise, I'm afraid no one will want her in the future."

Madam Yu was taken aback. Wu Chen was known for his good temper and never spoke ill of anyone. For him to actually say such a thing to a young woman was... well...

Uncle Yu was trembling with anger, "What did you say?"

Yu Jitang crossed his arms and leaned against a pillar. "Don't you know what kind of person your daughter is? All she does is cause trouble outside using the Yu family name. When she can't beat someone, she comes back and twists the truth to make false accusations. How many times has this happened? You may not feel ashamed, but the Yu family does. I'm saying this right here: if she does it again, I'll stand on the Zhanghua Terrace and announce to everyone that I, Yu Zhen, disown this sister."

"You...you...even if you are a divine servant, you shouldn't be siding with outsiders and bullying your sister!"

"What's wrong?" Elder Yu heard the commotion and came over. "Huh, where's the Witch God's attendant?"

"Big brother, you've come at the right time! You be the judge. Wu Chen brought back a shrew from somewhere, and she's been bullying people ever since she arrived at the Divine Palace. Not only does Ji Tang not protect his own sister, but he's actually siding with outsiders!" Yu Shiqi shouted angrily.

Elder Yu also looked down on his muddle-headed cousin, and his niece was just like her father, with few words she could be trusted. "The matter hasn't been clarified yet, so don't speak recklessly."

"You don't trust your own family, but you trust outsiders instead?" Uncle Yu Seventeen was so angry that he jumped up and down.

Yu Jitang sneered and said to Miss Yu, "Don't look down on people. In the past, when you bullied those without background or support, they would just swallow their anger and let it go because of the Yu family. But Lu Qing is different. She only took your sword, she didn't touch your people. You should be grateful that you got away safely. Let me tell you, the last person who angered her was dragged out of the ground by her, and is still being held by her side, wishing for death but unable to live. Not to mention, her family members are all incredibly powerful. If you really anger her, any one of them could be the annihilation of our entire Yu family."

Miss Yu stopped crying immediately.

Those who excel at bullying others understand the essence of it best. If Lu Qing is someone the entire Yu family can't afford to offend, then she should give up those petty schemes. Besides, given Lu Qing's looks, the fact that she's so highly regarded by the Witch God's attendant suggests that her cousin's words are most likely true.

Yu Jitang had watched her grow up and cause trouble. Although he usually ignored her, he knew her nature perfectly well. Sure enough, intimidation was more powerful and effective than persuasion.

When Elder Yu and his wife saw that she had stopped crying and was standing there with her eyes darting around, they immediately understood most of what was going on. Madam Yu couldn't help but shake her head and sigh deeply.

Elder Yu said angrily, "Seventeenth brother, you should find out exactly what happened. If your daughter is really in the wrong, then hurry up and go to Nukun Peak to apologize. If she is indeed in the wrong but doesn't go, then you don't need to stay in the Divine Palace anymore. Go to the Western Wilderness border to cultivate for ten years and then come back."

"No, brother. Isn't this just a misunderstanding among the children?" Uncle Yu Seventeen said, trying to deflect the blame.

Yu Jitang scoffed, "Where did you get these children? How old is yours? All the women in the clan her age already have a bunch of kids. It's her, so picky, refusing to get married, so arrogant, dreaming of becoming Lady Wuchen every day. Does she really think she'll stay an immature child forever if she doesn't get married? Lu Qing may be young, but even so, she's still the wife of a divine servant. Given the current situation, she might become the wife of a high priest soon. Who cares about your children!"

Uncle Yu was stunned. "What? A priest? Wu Chen is going to be promoted to a priest?"

Yu Jitang didn't want to pay attention to him, but he was worried that the two fools would cause more trouble, so he simply said, "Zou Gaoyang is dead, and Zou Buming and Luo Heqing are also dead. Now, only Wu Chen and I are left as divine servants."

"Then you can be a priest, Third Brother!" Miss Yu said excitedly. If Yu Jitang became a priest, she would be his sister, and that Lu Qing would still dare to...

"I can't beat those two!" Yu Jitang shrugged nonchalantly. "If it's a one-on-one fight, no matter which one of them comes, your third brother, I can't beat them. If it's a group fight, any one of Lu Qing's family members could easily overwhelm the entire Yu family. What else do you want?" Yu Jitang truly had no ideas about this father and daughter. He wondered what kind of karma the Yu family had accumulated in their past life to have given birth to such a strange, incredibly stupid, greedy, and shameless father and daughter. Sigh, in a big forest, it's not surprising to see a few bad apples.

Miss Yu stamped her foot and started crying in frustration.

Yu Jitang glanced at his father furtively.

His father was gazing intently at his cousin.

Knowing his father as Yu Jitang did, if his father offered some advice, his muddle-headed uncle would simply admit his mistake and soften his stance, and that would be the end of it. If his father didn't even try to persuade him, then this uncle would have no future. Moreover, he had informed his seventeenth uncle about Zou Gaoyang's situation. With such important information, his father would certainly not allow this troublesome father and daughter to run around freely.

As the saying goes, "One is influenced by one's company." Yu Jitang smiled and praised himself inwardly. Spending so much time with Wu Chen had made him so adept at scheming against his father; he had indeed grown considerably. Yu Jitang said to his mother, "I'm going to check on that couple."

Madam Yu said, "Wait a moment. It's one thing if I didn't know about this, but now that I know Madam Wu is coming, how can I not show my appreciation? Take some gifts with me."

"Mother, no need. That girl is wealthy and wouldn't be interested in ordinary things, so it's better not to send her anything."

"Nonsense." Madam Yu slapped him. "In that case, you may take these baskets of pastries with you." Then she went to the storeroom to carefully select a gift for the meeting.

Yu Jitang nodded, put the snacks his mother had brought into his spirit pouch, and flew directly to Nukun Peak on his sword. His incorrigible cousin wouldn't change just by being told what to do; words alone wouldn't do. Only when his father dealt with his seventeenth uncle, dismantling the crooked upper beam, could the crooked lower beam possibly be repaired.
