Chapter 99 The Lady's Character When Wu Chen and Lu Qing arrived at the front hall, ...

When Wu Chen and Lu Qing arrived at the front hall, the disciple who was recounting the story was still there, talking animatedly, and Yu Jitang listened with great interest, as if he were listening to a storyteller.

When the disciples saw that Lu Qing had come over with Wu Chen, they were too embarrassed to gossip about their master's wife's "great achievements" in front of her, so they stopped talking with bright smiles.

I was given a hard time the first time I met Lu Qing, but she greeted me with a smile. It seems that regardless of gender, you have to be able to stand on your own two feet before others will respect you.

Wu Chen glanced at Lu Qing, his hand instinctively pressing against his waist. Yes, his little fruit was quite resilient.

Almost everyone on Nukun Peak was drawn to the Falling Sword Stone, including all of Wu Chen's personal disciples. Wu Chen pondered for a moment, then said, "All of you, come in. I have something to say to you."

The disciples quickly followed him into the hall.

Wu Chen asked Lu Qing to sit with him, saying, "This is my wife, your teacher's wife, Lu Qing."

The disciples immediately bowed respectfully to Lu Qing, saying, "Greetings, Master's Wife."

Lu Qingluo nodded generously, "Although I've already given you a gift, it wasn't what I expected. These are the gifts I prepared for you."

Lu Qing took out the gifts she had prepared from her spirit pouch and distributed them to the disciples according to the names written by Qi Ying.

The disciples were somewhat surprised. Lu Qing's face was still quite youthful, not at all like someone who would handle things so meticulously. But judging from her actions and words today, she was quite methodical, so they couldn't help but look at her with even higher regard. "Thank you, Master's Wife."

Lu Qing nodded and sat quietly without saying another word.

Wu Chen said to his disciples, “From now on, your master’s words will be my words. If I am not on Nukun Peak, I will obey your master’s orders.”

The disciples answered in unison, "Yes, sir."

Only Yu Jitang secretly grumbled to himself: "It's as if your presence makes any difference. Even if you were here, how many times have you ever disobeyed Lu Qing's orders?" Fortunately, this cunning girl was different from those spoiled women; she didn't like to show off and didn't act on her own initiative.

Wu Chen continued, "The second matter concerns Qi Zhi."

The disciples were taken aback: "Master, is it alright for you to talk about Qi Zhi in front of your master's wife? After all, Qi Zhi chased after you without hesitation because of you."

Seeing their expressions, Wu Chen guessed what they were thinking. "Qi Zhi hid tracking talismans in my clothes. Did any of you conspire with her?"

The disciples were startled and repeatedly denied it.

Wu Chen looked around and said, "Qi Ying traveled with her and found many things about her behavior to be suspicious. It wasn't until later that I discovered that she was actually a spy sent to infiltrate Nukun Peak."

Everyone was incredulous, even looking at Qi Ying. Qi Ying's expression was grave, but he nodded without hesitation.

Wu Chen solemnly warned everyone, "It's no wonder you find it hard to believe. Even I didn't expect her to be so cunning at first. This winter hunt in the Western Wilderness was originally a conspiracy by the person behind Qi Zhi. The disciples of the Divine Palace suffered heavy casualties. Even those who rushed in, thinking they were the ones waiting to take advantage, were almost completely wiped out. The two divine attendants, Zou and Luo, also unfortunately perished, and almost all the experts who followed them were killed. And... Divine Officer Zou also died in the Western Abyss..."

The disciples below were so shocked they could hardly speak.

The High Priest Zou is dead?! When did the High Priest Zou go to the Western Wilderness? Wasn't he always at Zhanghua Terrace?

Wu said in a deep voice, "The inside story is extremely complicated, but you must be prepared. From this moment on, all orders from Zhanghua Terrace, regardless of which elder or whether they are issued in the name of Divine Officer Zou, must be reported to me first. If I am not present, you may report to Divine Attendant Yu and your master's wife first. If none of the three of us give our approval, do not disobey. Furthermore, once you see Qi Zhi, do your best to capture her. Do not be careless, or your life will be in danger."

The disciples were stunned by the wave of news, leaving them almost expressionless. But they all knew in their hearts that the currently calm and peaceful Divine Palace was about to be hit by a violent storm.

Wu Chen had been gone for a long time, and there were some matters that had accumulated on Nukun Peak. Several disciples took this opportunity to ask for instructions, and just as they were talking, a commotion suddenly came from outside.

Lu Qing was feeling a bit bored, and upon hearing this, he patted Wu Chen's arm, "You keep busy, I'll go take a look."

Wu Chen cautioned, "Be careful."

Lu Qing chuckled, "Don't worry. Fight if you can, cry if you can't."

Wu Chen: "Hmm."

Disciples: Huh?!

Yu Jitang immediately jumped up as well. He had no patience for these trivial matters; arguing with Lu Qing was much more fun.

The two walked out of the main hall one after the other with an air of nonchalance. They saw several people being stopped by servants from Nukun Peak in front of the Fallen Sword Stone, preventing them from approaching it. A lacquer bucket used for coloring had been kicked over, spilling its vermilion lacquer all over the ground.

Yu Jitang almost burst out laughing. "Who is this? How dare they cause trouble on Nukun Peak?"

Lu Qing glanced at him disdainfully and said in a low voice, "Be serious."

Yu Jitang immediately took a half step back, "I have overstepped my bounds. Please, please."

Lu Qing coughed lightly, stepped forward, and remained standing at the highest point of the steps in front of the hall, looking down at the group of people. "Who goes there? What are you doing making such a fuss?"

“Brother, it’s her!” A woman cried and pointed at Lu Qing.

"Sigh!" Yu Jitang shook his head, sighed deeply, and suddenly became proud. "You see, not everyone is as reasonable and discerning as I am."

Lu Qing glanced at him. "Why don't you do it?"

"No, no, please, please." Word-of-mouth can't compare to seeing it for yourself. The shrine hasn't had such a spectacle in a long time; missing it would be a sin against heaven.

A valiant man, his face contorted with rage, glared at Lu Qing. "So it was you who bullied my sister?"

Lu Qing lowered her head and straightened her sleeves. "Are you here to fight, or to reason with someone? Choose one. There might be others coming later, so hurry up."

The man sneered, "Fine, since you're so arrogant, then don't accuse me of bullying the weak later. You asked for it."

Lu Qing was too lazy to waste words, so she stretched out one hand, palm facing the sky, and waved slightly.

Just as the man was about to move, the weeping woman suddenly tugged at his sleeve, "Brother, she has sorcery and can control flying swords. You need to be careful."

Yu Jitang scoffed: "Where did this spoilsport come from? He wanted to see Lu Qing show off another skill."

The man snorted coldly, "There's no need to use my sword to deal with her." His sister was humiliated by this unassuming girl because her cultivation was insufficient. How powerful could she be at such a young age?

The man attacked Lu Qing with his bare hands, but as he leaped into the air, he saw Yu Jitang standing behind Lu Qing. What was Yu Jitang doing here? And what was his relationship with this woman? The man was momentarily stunned.

In that moment of hesitation, Lu Qing seized the opportunity and threw a punch. Lu Qing's punch was unremarkable, her moves were all straight and simple, without any fancy moves. However, she stood on the steps, drawing spiritual energy into the force of her punch.

The moment their fists clashed, the man was thrown back as if he had hit a rock, taking several steps back before he could barely regain his balance.

Yu Jitang was stunned for a moment, then clapped and cheered loudly.

The man's face was ashen. "Servant Yu, could it be that you too are aiding and abetting evil?"

Yu Jitang's sharp tongue is notorious in the Divine Palace. He has never even spared his own sister from criticizing him, so how could he let others smear him? "What, you can't fight, so you start talking?"
