These princes and princesses, though of noble birth, were actually not favored in the capital. They were sent to the Flying Star Sect to curry favor.
Their strength was weak, and when they saw Qi Yu taking people away so openly, no one dared to say a word.
Zhu Yue, his voice trembling, launched into a tirade of curses, repeating terms like "bastard" and "idiot" over and over. Qi Yu found his vocabulary too limited and was tired of hearing it.
She dragged him to a grove of trees next to the Ling Shan Tang restaurant and casually slapped him across the face, turning Zhu Yue's face crooked.
Although Zhu Yue was not favored, he was still a prince. He had never suffered such humiliation in his life. His voice trembled as he said, "You...you dare to..."
Qi Yu picked at his ear and then slapped him on the other side of his face.
Two evenly spaced red handprints covered Zhu Yue's fairly handsome face, adding a touch of frustration.
Qi Yu said calmly, "Can we be quiet now?"
Zhu Yue glared at her, daring not to speak his anger, finally giving Qi Yu some peace and quiet.
To be honest, she was still angry after being beaten up by Venerable Canglang in the morning. When she heard Zhu Yue grunting and talking like a pig, she slapped him a couple of times to relieve the pressure.
She said, "Tell me everything about the Vermilion Bird you just mentioned."
Zhu Yue, his face flushed red, lowered his head indignantly and reluctantly began to speak: "That bastard..."
Qi Yu suddenly grabbed his chin and smiled, "Zhu Quezi."
Zhu Yue's jaw almost broke from that grip. He took a deep breath and continued, "That Zhu Quezi was suddenly brought back a few months ago. The person who brought him back was that strange Zhu Que."
"They say he was seriously injured and his memory was damaged. He keeps muttering 'sister' all day long. I only saw him once from afar."
"Father said that his identity was special and that he should not be kept in the palace. He asked Zhu Que to take him out to treat his injuries."
Qi Yu suddenly realized and withdrew her hand.
No wonder, no wonder she couldn't get any response from Gou Dan no matter how she tried to contact him using the communication jade talisman.
If his memory is impaired, that could be explained.
She looked at Zhu Yue, whose features bore a resemblance to Gou Dan, and asked, "Do you know where they went?"
Zhu Yue said, "Zhu Que is always elusive; who knows where he'll take Zhu Yu?"
"Zhu Yu?" Qi Yu repeated the name in confusion.
Zhu Yue said, "This is the new name my father gave him. A member of the Vermilion Bird bloodline, yet he is called Dog Egg, such a ridiculous name. It's a disgrace to the royal family. Then, because he always says 'jade', he was simply called Zhu Yu."
Qi Yu was about to ask another question when Zhu Yue suddenly called out "Master" in surprise to her.
She turned around and met the scrutinizing gaze of Venerable Poyue. He stood not far away, his moon-white robes making him look like an immortal descended from heaven.
Zhu Yue quickly took advantage of her turning around and scrambled to Venerable Poyue's side, pointing accusingly at the two large slaps on his face, saying, "Master, you must stand up for your disciple! I didn't do anything, and she slapped me twice for no reason! If it were just her slapping my face, that would be one thing, but she's clearly slapping you in the face, Master!"
Venerable Broken Moon's gaze was fixed on Qi Yu, as if assessing the credibility of Zhu Yue's words.
Qi Yu pursed her lips, thinking to herself, "Is this going to be another case of 'beating the young and then the old one comes'?"
Suddenly, a crisp slap rang out.
Qi Yu stared wide-eyed in shock at yet another fresh slap mark on Zhu Yue's face.
Even more bewildered than her was Zhu Yue, who was completely stunned by the beating. He stared blankly and murmured, "Master, what... what are you doing..."
Venerable Poyue calmly withdrew his hand, as if he wasn't the one who had just slapped his disciple.
He glanced at Zhu Yue without any emotion.
This disciple was originally assigned to him; he had decent talent, but he was stupid, arrogant, and annoying.
Yun Poyue's face remained expressionless, but Zhu Yue seemed to see the hidden disgust and aversion beneath it, and gradually shut his mouth.
Venerable Poyue said with his hands behind his back, "Since her cultivation is higher than yours, she is your senior sister. Your senior sister teaches you etiquette, so why do you have to complain to me?"
Zhu Yue covered his face in disbelief, his lips moving but unable to utter a complete sentence.
"You, me..."
Venerable Poyue ignored him, calmly nodded to Qi Yu, and turned to leave.
Qi Yu looked at his back with some surprise, never expecting that this Venerable Broken Moon would be someone who didn't play by the rules.
Zhu Yue slumped to the ground, looking utterly dejected and questioning the meaning of life. Qi Yu couldn't help but feel sorry for him. She stepped forward and tried to pat him on the shoulder, but Zhu Yue dodged away in fright.
Qi Yu: "..."
Well, this is indeed not the right time to be a good person.
Then let's continue being the bad guy.
She put on a chilling smile again, grabbed Zhu Yue's arm without giving him a chance to dodge, and squinted at him, saying, "Did you hear that? Be polite to your senior sister, and be polite to others too, my dear Your Highness."
Zhu Yue nodded repeatedly in fear, "Okay, okay, I understand, Senior Sister..."
Qi Yu released him with satisfaction, feeling much better, and walked towards the Spirit Food Hall with a smile.
Zhu Yue was left sitting there, weak, helpless, and pitiful, questioning the meaning of life.
...
Almost everyone in Ling Shan Tang had left, leaving only Zhu Yue's table of princes and princesses, and Bai Huan and Liu Xing waiting for Qi Yu.
Qi Yu saw that there was still a chicken wing left on the table. She knew that Bai Huan had specially saved it for her because she knew that Qi Yu liked to eat it. Without being polite, she picked it up and started to eat it.
Bai Huan looked at her hesitantly, but couldn't help asking cautiously, "Little Yan'er, you didn't kill him, did you?"
Qi Yu: "?"
Qi Yu put down the half-eaten chicken wing, puzzled. "Do I look like such a ruthless person?"
Bai Huan, Liu Xing, and the princes and princesses at the table who were eavesdropping: "..." Don't you have any self-awareness?
At this moment, Zhu Yue limped over, saw Qi Yu, shuddered, and deliberately took the longest route so as not to run into Qi Yu, and returned to his table.
Everyone: "..."
Qi Yu: "...Let me explain. I only slapped him a few times. Is he just putting on an act?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yue hurriedly said in a panic, "No, it wasn't Senior Sister who did it. I fell down by myself. Senior Sister didn't hit me. I just felt my face was itchy and scratched it myself."
Everyone stared silently at the bright handprint on his face, then turned their attention to Qi Yu.
Qi Yu's eyes darted around, and she said, "He said it himself, it has nothing to do with me."
The Ling Shan Tang was deathly silent.
Your Highness, do you need legal assistance?
