"Ming Mengyao, put down your sword! You mustn't be disrespectful to the young prince! You were the one who wanted to marry me and made a marriage agreement with me. Don't bring shame to the Ji family now." Ji Baizhi, also holding a sword, blocked Ming Mengyao's path.
Ruoruo carefully took a step back, and Mo Jinyan chuckled: "Ruoruo, don't be afraid. This is a thug I called. He's her fiancé."
"What is a fiancé?" Ruoruo asked, looking completely bewildered.
"That's the person she's going to marry," Mo Jinyan snorted.
Ruoruo asked doubtfully, "But she said she's the second sister-in-law? Can the second sister-in-law marry someone else?"
Mo Jinyan scoffed, "She's dreaming."
Stopped by Ji Baizhi and mocked by the two brats, Ming Mengyao trembled with rage and slashed at them with her sword: "Brother Yunlan is exceptionally talented and his appearance is unparalleled. We are deeply in love, and you are all despicable people who want to ruin my relationship with Brother Yunlan, get out of my way!"
The young man in blue stood his ground: "Today, I will not yield to you any longer. I will definitely inform your father and Prince Yunlan of this matter."
The two instantly became entangled in battle, their sword energy slicing across the sky and their sword intent crisscrossing in all directions. The Qingyue Palace, which had been uninhabited for a long time, was instantly reduced to a pile of ruins.
The commotion was so great that several nearby palaces sent people out to quietly investigate the situation.
"Ji Baizhi! Today it's either you or me!" Ming Mengyao was ruthless, every move aimed at Ji Baizhi's vital points.
“Even if I die, you can’t be with Prince Yunlan,” Ji Baizhi said coldly.
Overwhelmed by anger and losing her senses, Ming Mengyao unleashed a combination of talismans and deadly attacks, charging straight at Ji Baizhi and Ruoruo: "If you die first, Prince Yunlan won't be hiding from me anymore!"
"Oh no! Ruoruo, run!" Mo Jinyan never expected Ming Mengyao to be so crazy.
If you can't even ride the clouds, how can you outrun the attacking sword beams?
As the sword light drew closer, Ruoruo gritted her teeth, lay down on the spot, pinned Mo Jinyan down, and pulled out several talismans that she didn't recognize, her heart pounding.
"Tsk, stupid cat! Stupid bird!" Accompanied by the familiar disdainful voice, a figure in red stood in front of them, blocking the attack with a single palm strike.
Ruoruo looked up, her eyes brimming with tears of emotion: "Waaah, Second Brother, save me!"
Mo Yunlan pulled Ruoruo into his arms: "Let's see if you dare to mess around with Mo Jinyan again next time."
Ming Mengyao's face lit up with joy, and she rushed over, saying, "Brother Yunlan."
"Insolence!" Mo Yunlan slapped Ming Mengyao away. "I gave you some face before because of Ming Yesheng's kindness and because you are a young woman. Now you dare to be so audacious as to set your sights on Ruoruo. It's outrageous!"
Ming Mengyao collapsed to the ground, clutching her chest and spitting out a mouthful of blood. Incredulously, she said, "You hurt me for that cat? Do you know that she was the one who plotted against me today!"
"You brought this upon yourself, and you still dare to blame Ruoruo? She's only four years old, what does she know!" Mo Yunlan secretly pinched Mo Jinyan as she looked at the crowd of immortals who had gathered around.
His reputation has been ruined by Mo Jinyan.
He could let it go, but he couldn't let Ruoruo get involved in all this trouble.
Ming Mengyao stubbornly stood up and approached Mo Yunlan, saying, "Did that cat say something to sow discord between you, which is why you're treating me like this? I know we love each other..."
"Dream on!" Mo Yunlan slapped her away with his sleeve, and Ming Mengyao fell directly next to Ji Baizhi.
Mo Yunlan's eyes were icy cold: "I have no respect for someone like you. If you continue to pester me and implicate Ruoruo, even if God Mingye protects you, I will still take your life."
After saying that, Mo Yunlan left with Ruoruo and the chubby bird that had caused the trouble but dared not speak.
Soon, upon receiving the news, the God Mingye and Ji Baizhi's elders rushed over and took the person away, their faces as black as ink.
The immortals who were watching the spectacle didn't dare say anything in front of them, but once the people left, they started gossiping among themselves.
"It's still uncertain whether the marriage between the Ji and Ming families can be saved."
“Ming Mengyao was caught red-handed by Ji Baizhi during her secret rendezvous with the Second Prince. Ming Mengyao did not object, so it seems that the Ji family will not agree to maintain the marriage agreement.”
"Speaking of which, the Second Prince is usually humorous and witty, with unparalleled beauty and outstanding looks. It's understandable that Ming Mengyao likes him."
"It's clearly Ming Mengyao's wishful thinking. Ji Baizhi is a sword genius of the Ji family, and Prince Yunlan is even more outstanding in both status and strength, so it's Ming Mengyao's turn to choose."
“What you say makes sense, fellow immortal. After all, the Second Prince clearly looked down on her tonight and was very angry.”
"That young prince is also pitiful; he almost got dragged into this by that crazy woman."
The immortals were discussing amongst themselves, and although Mo Yunlan didn't hear it, she could imagine what was going on.
He wrote a letter and had a fairy servant deliver it to the palace of the god Mingye, firstly to reject Ming Mengyao, and secondly to warn them not to come looking for Ruoruo again.
Ming Mengyao acts quite arrogantly, and if she is not suppressed and restrained, she is very likely to cause trouble for Ruoruo again.
Today, it is the Ming family and the Ji family who have lost face. They were caught red-handed, but they can cover it up by saying that they were just a young engaged couple arguing and saying hurtful things.
Although Mo Yunlan was embroiled in rumors of his romantic affairs, his attitude was clear and decisive. While it affected his reputation to some extent, it did not damage his face too much.
Therefore, Mo Yunlan had the Ming family's Achilles' heel. If they did anything outrageous again, he would no longer care about Ming Ye's reputation and would explain to the immortals the whole story of Ming Mengyao's persistent pursuit.
At that point, the fig leaf that the two families had barely managed to salvage was completely trampled away.
The God Mingye will judge which is more important.
