Chapter 95 Angry Kun - 4 Those women were just crying and sobbing...
The women who were just crying now stood up with half-smiles and followed behind Senior Sister Qin.
The women who were writing down names at the door, seeing how things had developed, immediately clutched the paper they had written and refused to hand it to the disciples of Nukun Peak.
The disciples of Nukun Peak were too embarrassed to try and snatch it, and all looked towards Lu Qing.
Qi Ying's face darkened, and she was about to speak when Lu Qing waved her hand, "How can you possibly win an argument with a bunch of women? Besides, no matter how sharp your words are, you can't deal with two kinds of people: the shameless and those who pretend not to hear or understand."
Senior Sister Qin gave her a provocative look, but didn't answer. She led the group of women quickly toward the palace gate.
Lu Qing sighed, "They're so arrogant, it would be a bit unreasonable not to teach them a lesson. But if I do teach them a lesson, will they bring their elders to my door crying and accusing me of bullying the powerful?"
Qi Ying said, "Teacher's wife, they are going too far."
Lu Qing chuckled, finished her tea, stood up and stretched. "No rush." She waved to the disciple guarding the gate. "Let them out."
The women following behind Senior Sister Qin let out a series of soft laughs.
Lu Qing smiled, put her hands behind her back, and slowly walked towards the palace gate.
After everyone left the hall, Senior Sister Qin led the group of women to stand below the hall. Lu Qing stood on the steps, still smiling at them with her hands behind her back, showing no sign of annoyance.
Although the disciples of Nukun Peak had seen a bit of the world, they were all somewhat bewildered. What was wrong with this junior mistress? She was being slapped in the face and still smiling. If word got out, wouldn't she be laughed at wherever she went? Just as someone was about to speak, Qi Ying raised his hand and waved for them to be quiet. Based on his understanding of Lu Qing, she was definitely not the kind of person who would turn the other cheek after being slapped on the left.
Senior Sister Qin stood tall and proud, saying, "Until we meet again, young lady."
Lu Qing nodded. "That's natural."
The women in the room exchanged glances upon hearing this, and many of them chuckled.
Senior Sister Qin smiled, summoned her flying sword, and calmly stepped onto it. The sword rose slowly, the mountain breeze making her figure graceful, her skirt fluttering, exuding an ethereal, otherworldly aura—a sight worthy of a painting. Senior Sister Qin deliberately ascended slowly, looking down from above, her hands behind her back, glancing sideways at Lu Qing.
Lu Qing scoffed, then stretched out her hands and straightened her sleeves. "I already said that although I'm young, it's fine that you don't take me seriously. But with your silver tongue and deliberate provocation, if I let you leave like this, where will my Wu Chen's face be?"
A disciple from Nukun Peak stepped forward and said, "Master's wife, this disciple would like to learn from Senior Sister Qin."
"No need." Lu Qing suddenly stopped smiling and reached out to grab the air. "Today I want to see who can come and go freely and arrogantly on Nukun Peak."
Just as Senior Sister Qin was about to retort, her feet suddenly trembled, and her sword began to shake violently out of control. The scenery in front of her suddenly turned upside down, and then the sword carried her forward.
Senior Sister Qin screamed as she was dragged forward by her own sword at such a speed that she couldn't react at all. Her once flowing skirt flew up completely, covering her head and face, making her look from a distance like a flying sword dragging a huge sack. Senior Sister Qin couldn't see ahead; she only felt her sword spinning wildly in all directions, pulling her around like a top in mid-air.
The disciples of Nukun Peak were taken aback at first, then saw Lu Qing gesturing in the air with one hand. Her finger pointed to the left, and Senior Sister Qin drew a large horizontal line in the air; her finger turned, and Senior Sister Qin drew a perfect circle in mid-air.
The disciples of Nukun Peak all covered their mouths and faces, bursting into laughter.
Lu Qing suddenly flicked her finger upwards, and Senior Sister Qin suddenly shot up from the ground like a firecracker, hurtling into the sky.
Senior Sister Qin screamed until her voice was hoarse. She used to fly on her sword without fear of heights, but now the sword was completely out of her control. If she fell, she would definitely be shattered to pieces. With a heavy heart, she gritted her teeth and severed her mental connection with the sword, plummeting from the sky and landing right in the middle of the group of wide-eyed, gaping female cultivators, eliciting a chorus of screams.
Although the fall didn't break her arms or legs, it displaced all of Senior Sister Qin's internal organs, leaving her with a metallic taste in her throat before she coughed up a mouthful of blood. Of course, along with her pride and arrogance, which were irretrievably lost and could never be retrieved, her dignity was also shattered.
Lu Qing slowly opened his palm, and the sword immediately flew back from the clouds, obediently landing in his hand. Lu Qing flicked the sword lightly with his fingers, and the sword immediately emitted a joyful chime.
Lu Qing flicked his finger again, and the sword plunged into a huge rock nearby, until the hilt was completely submerged.
Everyone stared in disbelief. Especially the women who had just been so confidently encouraging Senior Sister Qin, their faces turned pale, their legs trembled, and they looked at Lu Qing standing on the stage in terror, as if they were looking at some kind of human monster.
Lu Qing put her hands back behind her back. "If I were to lay a hand on you, I would inevitably be accused of bullying the weak by some unreasonable and muddle-headed people. Besides, with your abilities, you are indeed not worth my personal attention."
"What...what do you want?" someone asked in a high-pitched voice.
Lu Qing remained expressionless. "Don't you have ears? Didn't you hear a word I just said? Since you didn't hear it, then there's no need to waste any more words with you..." With a wave of her hand, the swords on the women's bodies vibrated and suddenly broke free from their sheaths, flying into the air and connecting with each other to form a sword formation that hovered in the air.
Lu Qing said, "Since you can't understand human language, then leave something behind. Your teachers will lead you to retrieve it later!" With a wave of her hand, the swords that had been flying in the air transformed into a long rainbow and all disappeared into the boulder.
Neat and orderly, like chess pieces on a chessboard.
The remaining women gasped and clutched the swords at their waists.
Lu Qing sneered, "Not just any piece of junk deserves to remain on Nukun Peak."
This move was so incredible that not only the female cultivators found it unbelievable, but even the disciples of Nukun Peak found it inconceivable. The swords Lu Qing left behind were all imbued with weapon spirits. Not only were these swords already bound to their master, beyond the control of outsiders, but Lu Qing not only commanded them, but he also commanded a whole group with a single point, striking wherever he pointed, completely subjugated. Even their own master might not be able to achieve this. Imagine, fighting Lu Qing, and suddenly your own sword turns against you…
Suddenly, everyone felt a chill run down their necks, and they gained a new and profound understanding of her earlier words, "If she falls into my hands, hehe..."
Qi Ying, standing to the side, sternly rebuked, "I don't know where you all got this misunderstanding from, thinking that Nukun Peak is a place where you can come and go as you please. You think you can fool us with a few tears and some clumsy words? Heh, today it's only because of my master's sake that my master is giving us a small punishment as a warning. Those of you who left your swords behind, you may leave now. If you want them back, please go and have a good talk with your masters about what you've done. The rest of you guests, please do as my master says. If you dare to cause any more trouble, we don't mind asking the elders of the Discipline Hall to come and explain yourselves to them."
The disciples of Nukun Peak brought over brushes and ink, but didn't serve them; they simply waited for them to write on their own.
The women hesitated, looking at each other as if they wanted to say something, when they suddenly saw Lu Qing move her wrist. Startled, they immediately rushed over to grab the paper and start writing.
As a result, the disciples of Nukun Peak glanced at what they had written and said coldly, "Write down your names and who your masters are, otherwise even if we find the people, where will we find you?"
The women wanted to object but dared not, so they reluctantly wrote their names down. The disciples of Nukun Peak checked them one by one before letting them leave. The women whose swords had been confiscated stood there dumbfounded, unsure of what to do.
Lu Qing looked up at the floating clouds and said, "Hehe, see you later, I'll be waiting for you."
Qi Ying looked at the pale-faced women and cursed inwardly, "Serves them right! They're like people carrying lanterns into the latrine, courting death!"
He respectfully said to Lu Qing, "Master's wife, you have traveled a long way and should take a good rest. Why bother yourself with such insensible people?"
Lu Qing nodded. "That makes sense. Let's go, where is your family's courtyard?"
"Please follow me, Madam." Qi Ying immediately led the way.
Lu Qing didn't even glance at the women, and followed Qi Ying to Wu Chen's courtyard. Meanwhile, the disciples of Nukun Peak in front of the hall whispered excitedly, "How did our little master's wife do that?"
"How much spiritual power does it take to control so many magical artifacts?"
"Did you see the young master's wife's sword?"
"No!"
"Could it be that she doesn't need a sword at all, and when she wants one, all the swords in the world are hers... Heavens, my lord truly has a discerning eye. Where did you find such a treasure?"
"Yes, I've never seen that move she just showed before, and I don't know who her teacher is."
"Hey, Senior Brother Qiying and Junior Sister are very close, he must know. We'll just ask him later."
"Sigh, it's all because of these female disciples. We originally thought they would wait a while and then go back on their own, but who knew... they made a huge embarrassment on their first meeting with Master's wife. I wonder if it will leave a bad impression on her and make her dislike us in the future."
“I disagreed with letting them come up the mountain back then. We didn’t stop them last time, and they sat on Nukun Peak for half a year. Don’t you remember…”
"Alright, we all did this together, so we'll all share the responsibility. Although Master's wife hasn't punished us, everyone must follow her instructions. Anyone who dares to shirk their duties will be dealt with together. Once it's done, we'll go apologize to Master's wife."
“That’s right, hey, what are you doing?” one of the disciples suddenly shouted.
It turned out that while they were chatting animatedly, the women actually walked up to the rock and tried to secretly draw their swords.
The disciples of Nukun Peak rushed over to stop them, but when they reached the rock, they couldn't help but laugh. The women not only used their spiritual power, but even with their combined strength, the swords seemed to be rooted in the rock, and they couldn't pull out any of them.
The disciples of Nukun Peak laughed loudly, and after laughing, they chased the people away, saying, "With your meager abilities, how dare you spout such nonsense? Saying that you would marry her and then run away to become her concubine. Just that one sentence is enough for my master to personally confront you."
"Don't you even know your own character? You come running to my house and my parents don't even give you a second glance."
"That's right. Everyone knows Qi Ying's loyalty and devotion to you, Master. He accompanied his master's wife back; there's no doubt about that. How could you be so shallow and disrespectful? Offending my master's wife is offending everyone on Nukun Peak. From now on, please stay away from Nukun Peak. Otherwise, don't blame us for coming to teach you a lesson."
The women cried and begged for mercy, using the same methods they had used on their senior brothers and elders. But the disciples of Nukun Peak had lost their patience and chased them all down the mountain, also sending someone to inform the Discipline Hall.
Lu Qing ignored all of this and entered Wu Chen's courtyard.
Qi Ying introduced everything to her, especially the backyard. "This is a clear spring left on the mountain peak. The adults found some fire jade somewhere and laid it in the stone trough that draws the water, so this bath is always hot for bathing."
Lu Qing was delighted. "This is a good place."
Qi Ying said, "Then you should rest well, Master's wife. I'll have someone prepare a meal for you."
"Alright, don't be so reserved. It's fine to put on a show in front of outsiders. Calling her 'Master's Wife' this and 'Master's Wife' that makes me feel so much older."
Qi Ying laughed and said, "You and the master have the same temperament."
"Of course, he taught me himself. If there are any shortcomings, it's his fault."
Qi Ying could almost imagine the helpless yet amused expression on her parents' faces if they heard this, and she found it even funnier.
After Qi Ying left, Lu Qing closed the door, immediately took off her clothes, and jumped into the bluestone bath. The warm water washing over her body made her groan comfortably. After soaking for a while, she suddenly felt something was missing. She lay on the bluestone and thought for a moment. Oh, it was her eyes that were getting restless. If Wu Chen were to soak with her, it would be a feast for the eyes, and that would be perfect.
The idea amused her.
Lu Qing stood up, changed into comfortable clothes, and went out to the front hall.
When Qi Ying came to deliver the meals, she saw that the floor was covered with brocade pouches, and various weapons, elixirs, gold and silver jewelry, and books on elixirs were piled up in the hall like a small mountain. On the couch where Wu Chen usually sat, there was a neat row of brocade pouches, like a radish patch.
Qi Ying, holding a tray, stood in front of the hall door, feeling as if the room was filled with dazzling gold light, almost blinding him. "Are you... busy?"
Lu Qing looked up and her eyes lit up when she saw the plate. "You're finally here! I'm starving!"
She jumped up, grabbed a random brocade pouch, threw everything piled on the table into it, and then tossed the pouch to the ground.
Qi Ying's heart skipped a beat at the sound of the brocade pouch falling to the ground, and he felt a pang of heartache. "Master's wife, those are all good things."
Lu Qing patted the table. "Put it here, put it here. It doesn't matter if there's too much good stuff. Hey, have you eaten yet?"
"have eaten."
"Alright, help me pick out some things from that pile and see which ones are suitable for your fellow disciples. Even though it's a gift to save them from a beating, I can't really leave them with nothing. Help me choose some. And pick one for yourself too."
Qi Ying hurriedly replied, "I don't need it. You've already given me plenty of good things in that underground palace."
“That doesn’t count, that was the spoils… Oh no, that’s your share. It’s not the same as the gift I gave you. Don’t worry, your teacher’s wife is very wealthy, you can pick something you like.”
Qi Ying then dared to go over.
With so many brocade pouches scattered everywhere, even on tiptoe, he was bound to bump into one. Then, by accident, he stepped on one, and a sound of pain came from inside…
