Gui Haijingya had never suffered such humiliation. Knowing it herself was one thing, but having it brought up to her face was another. She always felt that the other person was mocking her.

Gui Haijingya was so angry that her eyes turned red as if they were about to bleed. She glared at Shu Jianyue and said fiercely, "You just wait and see. We, the Gui Hai family, will grind you to dust."

"Heh, I don't mind grinding you to dust first." Shu Jianyue sneered and immediately began to act.

The old man, of course, could not stand by and watch Gui Haijingya be killed, so he quickly stepped forward.

But he was only at the first level of Mahayana, while Shu Jianyue was at the second level of Mahayana, and had suppressive spirit binding and spiritual power. How could he possibly resist?

In just one move, Shu Jianyue had him hanging there.

Shu Jianyue looked at Yu Chuan and said, "Hit him back for how he hurt you."

Yu Chuan stepped forward and slapped the old man twice, then kicked him in the dantian.

The dantian in the Mahayana stage is not so easily destroyed, and the body is not so easily damaged.

But those two slaps truly struck deep into his soul.

Humiliation, humiliation that seeps into your very bones!

The old man's eyes were red with anger, but there was nothing he could do.

Gui Haijingya was stunned. "Ancient, ancient!"

Seeing that everyone's attention was on Gu Lao, Gui Haijingya wanted to slip away quietly.

Before she could take a second step, she was lifted up by a force and hung next to Gu Tou.

Looking at the crowd of onlookers, Gui Haijingya's face flushed red, and tears streamed down her face. "You, you all, please let me go! I'll give you magical artifacts, I'll give you spirit stones..."

"Ugh... Wow... I didn't mean to..."

Looking at her snot-nosed appearance, Shu Jianyue couldn't help but disgustedly pull away her eyeliner; it was too much to bear.

Gu Lao's lips twitched, suppressing the anger in his heart, and he looked at Shu Jianyue and said, "This Venerable One, the Guihai family has a profound foundation, you'd better not provoke them."

"Release us, and we promise we won't tell anyone about this."

They themselves may not know how, but whether so many onlookers will spread the word is another matter.

How could Shu Jianyue not have thought of this?

Shu Jianyue sneered and said, "Last time, someone also said in front of me that they had a deep foundation, but so what? If they dare to touch my son, no matter how deep their foundation is, I can still uproot them."

“The Guihai family, let alone having connections in the Holy Spirit, even if they had connections in the Divine Continent, I would not be afraid of them.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Lao's expression immediately changed.

Suspicion began to creep into my mind, but I was also afraid that the other party was just exaggerating.

Shu Jianyue stopped arguing with them and looked at Yu Chuan, asking, "Have you vented your anger?"

Yu Chuan nodded, "That's fine, Mother can decide the rest."

Shu Jianyue rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "How come you always manage to cause trouble wherever you go?"

"It's not my fault. They like to hang around me, how can you blame me for being too good-looking?" Yu Chuan was speechless.

Shu Jianyue chuckled lightly, "Your father is better looking than you, so why don't you see them daring to get close to him?"

Yu Chuan glanced at Chong Jiu and said, "Isn't it because your father has you now?"

"Besides, Father always has a cold face, who would dare to get close to him..."

"Right, I got it. From now on, I'll be like Dad. If I keep a cold face and exude a cold aura, no one will dare to come near me."

Chong Jiu glanced at him coldly, then lowered his head and asked Shu Jianyue in a low voice, "What do you want to do with these two?"

Shu Jianyue glanced at Gu Lao and Gui Haijingya, then asked in a low voice, "Are these two useful to you?"

Chong Jiu shook his head. "No, he's just someone on the fringes of the Gui Hai family. There's no point in keeping him around."

"Oh, then kill him?" Letting him go is not an option. Although he is a marginal figure in the Guihai family, it is hard to guarantee that he will not send messages to Guihai Sheng.

Furthermore, this ancient person, with the cultivation level of Mahayana stage, who became a retainer of the Guihai family, must not be a simple outsider.

The old man immediately said, "You two venerable ones, I am a retainer of the Guihai family, and this is the eldest daughter of the Guihai family. Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the Guihai family?"

"Heh, don't bring up the past." Just as Shu Jianyue was about to make a move, Chong Jiu stopped her.

"Um?"

Chong Jiu glanced at Gu Lao and said calmly, "Release him."

"Huh?" Shu Jianyue turned her head sharply. She just said it was useless, why are you going to put it down again?

Gui Haijingya's worried expression immediately changed, and her eyes lit up as she looked at Chong Jiu.

His ancient, slightly lowered eyes also flickered.

Chong Jiu squeezed Shu Jianyue's hand, and Shu Jianyue pouted, glanced at Yu Chuan, and then withdrew her binding spirit and spiritual power.

"Let's go. You're lucky today, I'm letting you off the hook."

Old Gu glanced at Chong Jiu, then grabbed Gui Hai Jing Ya and ran off.

Once they were far away, Gui Haijingya finally felt like she was still alive. "Ancient, ancient, could you tell their cultivation level? Who were they?"

Old Gu shook his head with a cold face. He almost lost his life here today.

It was all because this woman was lustful and wanted to seduce that boy. "You'd better behave yourself in the future. If you encounter something like this again, it might not end so well."

"So you really won't tell Father about this?" Gui Haijingya asked.

The ancients would certainly not remain silent, and would even embellish the story, saying that they had been insulted today and that they had to get revenge no matter what.

He naturally wouldn't tell her his thoughts. "Alright, let's go back to the old house first. We'll set off immediately to return to the Holy Spirit."

The reason he came down was to take Guihai Jingya to the Holy Spirit Temple, as the Guihai family needed her for a marriage alliance.

Otherwise, he would never have let the instigator off the hook.

Gui Haijingya's eyes lit up. "Then let's set off quickly. I don't want to stay here for another second."

Once she leaves here, no one will know how humiliated she was today.

Old Gu glanced at her and then took her back to the Guihai family's old house.

After they disappeared from sight, Shu Jianyue asked, "Is there something wrong with that old man?"

Chong Jiu nodded. "There is a problem. Since he is a retainer, with his cultivation level, it is impossible for him to follow behind a young lady who is not favored and whose spiritual veins are mediocre. He should be Gui Haisheng's man, and he must have been sent down on a mission."

“Honglang sent me a message saying that the person behind the Guihai family is hiding very well, and he still hasn’t found out who it is.”

"Unless we find the person behind the Guihai family, it's best to remain still for now."

"Otherwise, if they were to perish at our hands, Gui Haisheng would inevitably come to investigate."

Shu Jianyue nodded, "Honglang's investigative skills aren't good enough. Should we send Liu Juefeng up to help?"

Chong Jiu thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, Hong Lang doesn't have many people under his command, and Liu Juefeng's cultivation level is just right, so he won't easily attract attention."

"Alright, I'll have Liu Juefeng prepare to go to the Holy Spirit. You tell Honglang to keep an eye on things." After saying that, Shu Jianyue sent a message to Liu Juefeng.

Chong Jiu nodded and sent a message to Hong Lang, telling him what had happened and asking him to check on the recent movements of the Gui Hai family.
