Chapter 259

Looking at the affectionate relationship between Grandpa Shen and Cheng Xiaoman, Rong Rong suddenly felt very bored.

Her fondness for her grandmother's old friends quietly faded away. Perhaps everyone has their own destiny, and she simply didn't have a connection with them.

“I believe in this young lady,” Shen Yanbai suddenly said, and firmly told Old Master Shen, “I refuse to marry Cheng Xiaoman.”

Old Master Shen's face darkened, and he stared at Shen Yanbai with a deep, brooding expression.

Old Master Shen has always been the one to have the final say at Lingyun Manor. Shen's parents were getting anxious. Even though they didn't want Shen Yanbai to marry Cheng Xiaoman, they didn't dare to openly defy Old Master Shen in front of everyone.

Just as Madam Shen was about to step forward to smooth things over, Shen Yanbai spoke up again, "If Grandpa doesn't agree, I'm willing to leave Lingyun Manor!"

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

Old Master Shen was so enraged that the table beneath his hands instantly shattered into pieces.

"Yanbai!" Mother Shen cried out in shock. She hadn't expected her son to be so resolute this time, leaving no room for negotiation.

Old Master Shen is stubborn and will never back down. If Shen Yanbai insists, he may very well be expelled from the manor.

"Yanbai, quickly apologize to Grandpa!" Mother Shen urged anxiously, but Shen Yanbai remained silent.

Rong Rong didn't want to waste any more time here. She rarely spoke in a cold voice, "Believe it or not, it's up to the old master. Anyway, I've already delivered the letter. I just want my jade pendant back."

Rong Rong's indifferent eyes and unwillingness to explain anything instantly made Old Master Shen feel uneasy. In a daze, he seemed to see his junior sister from many years ago, leaving in such a weary manner.

Old Master Shen felt a pang of pain in his heart and couldn't bring himself to refuse.

Cheng Xiaoman, however, shouted triumphantly, "Dream on! The jade pendant is mine!"

Rong Rongmo had never seen such a shameless person.

Perhaps she could find one or two things about her maternal grandmother to prove her identity, but...

Rong Rong didn't want to do that. Why should she prove herself? What did it matter to her whether others believed her or not? Her task was to retrieve the jade pendant, not to prove her identity.

Rong Rong turned to look at Jiang Yetang, beckoned with her finger, and raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't say anything, but Jiang Yetang instantly understood what Rong Rong meant.

"Sister wants me to snatch the jade pendant back?" Jiang Yetang's eyes sparkled, like a big dog waiting to eat a bone, and it seemed that there was a fluffy tail wagging behind her.

Rong Rong smiled, as if to say "clever," and gently patted Jiang Yetang's head with her small hand.

As if a trigger had been activated, Jiang Yetang felt her blood rush to her head and almost let out a howl.

Fortunately, he swallowed the shout that was about to come out, but he shot towards Cheng Xiaoman like an arrow.

Cheng Xiaoman screamed in fright, but the disciples of Lingyun Manor reacted quickly and stood in front of her.

Old Master Jiang immediately waved his hand, and the disciples of Chuanshan Tower drew their swords and rushed forward to stop the disciples of Lingyun Manor for their young master.

The two groups suddenly clashed, much to the surprise of everyone in the square.

Grandpa Lei pressed Grandpa Jiang for the truth, but Grandpa Jiang just smiled and remained silent.

In the distance, the old leader of the Juedi Gang was frantically scratching his head, wondering who Qian Ning's granddaughter was and which one he should help.

"Brother, what do you think?" he asked the Wuji Sect Master helplessly, only to receive a single, indifferent word in return.

"wait!"

"Wait? Wait for what?" Just as the old leader of the Jedi Gang was about to ask again, someone in the arena suddenly shouted loudly.

"My Tingxuelou can vouch for you with my reputation: Miss Rong is the true owner of the Butterfly Jade Pendant!"

"Tingxuelou?"

Everyone was shocked and immediately turned around, trying to find out who was speaking.

It is said that the people of Tingxuelou are ubiquitous, so it is not surprising that there were people from Tingxuelou present. However, the fact that they took the initiative to show themselves is something I have never seen before!

People searched anxiously but found nothing. Many sect leaders and elders, including Old Master Shen, were shocked. Their expressions ranged from excitement to joy to surprise as they looked at Rong Rong.

"Miss Rong."

Someone murmured.

"Her surname is Rong!"

"It's Rong Qianning's Rong! She shares the same surname as Qianning!"

"She is a descendant of Qian Ning!"

"Who is her maternal grandfather? No! She doesn't have a maternal grandfather! Otherwise, why would she have the surname Rong?"

"Yes! Qian Ning doesn't like anyone!"

The bigwigs acted strangely and spoke incoherently, which quickly attracted everyone's attention.

Unable to find the person who had just spoken, people turned their attention to the bigwigs.

Old Master Shen's body was visibly stiff. He sat there, staring blankly at Rong Rong, no longer paying attention to Cheng Xiaoman's condition, and even Cheng Xiaoman's exclamation could no longer stir his emotions.

With the endorsement of Tingxuelou, and the fact that this girl's surname is Rong, it's very likely that this girl is indeed a descendant of the junior sister.

Old Master Shen was a little unable to accept it, because his dream of his grandson marrying his junior sister's descendant was shattered, and also because of his questioning of the other party just now.

No one cared about Old Master Shen's discomfort; people were surprised by the strange reactions of the sect leaders and asked each other why.

Finally, someone who knew more revealed the inside story.

"What? You mean this Miss Rong is a descendant of the Lotus Sword Immortal?"

Someone exclaimed in surprise, their voice so loud that the surroundings fell silent for a moment, followed by a murmur of discussion that grew louder and louder, like boiling water.

People excitedly asked each other questions, simply because the Lotus Sword Immortal was once a legendary figure who caused a sensation in the martial arts world.

"The Lotus Sword Immortal? That stunning beauty who captivated most of the martial arts world?"

"Of course! Didn't you see the leader of the Jedi Clan and the others?"

"That's it! No wonder they all reacted this way, it turns out the descendant of the white moonlight has appeared!"

"And then there's Master Shen, who insisted on marrying Cheng Xiaoman despite the ruthless sword, even though Cheng Xiaoman is so vicious. It turns out it's because Cheng Xiaoman is the granddaughter of the Lotus Sword Immortal!"

"Wrong! Cheng Xiaoman is fake! Didn't Tingxuelou just say that this Miss Rong is the real one? Tingxuelou's information is never false!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I was just about to say that even though Miss Rong is wearing a veil, she is still exceptionally beautiful. Don't laugh at me, but I haven't been able to take my eyes off her since I saw her."

"Shut up! Are you looking for death?"

After that, no one dared to say such frivolous things again, but although people didn't say it, they actually agreed in their hearts.

Now, looking more closely, this Miss Rong is remarkable in every way—from her figure and temperament to her skin, hair, and even her beautiful eyes.

Each one is stunningly beautiful, unconsciously attracting people's attention.

Suddenly someone yelled "Ah!" which startled everyone, and they stared in surprise.

The man exclaimed excitedly, "A descendant of the Lotus Sword Immortal! Miss Rong! I have a bold guess!"

"What?" people asked, puzzled.

The man tapped his finger rapidly, as if he had tremor, his face contorted with exaggerated excitement.

He seemed hesitant to speak, which made the onlookers extremely anxious.

Finally, someone had a stroke of genius.

"It's a celestial lotus fairy from beyond the heavens!"
