The reason why I came now is because I received instructions from Elder Ji. It can't be too early or too late. Now is just right.
The arrival of the four people from Qingyue Sect made those who originally wanted to leave smell the scent of gossip, so they stayed.
When Zhu saw the four girls, her face turned pale.
Because Lin Lan was willing to expel Qingyue Sect in order to marry Xue Zhi, the relationship between Changyang Marquis Mansion and Qingyue Sect has always been at a freezing point and has not eased much over the years. So it is impossible that the four female disciples of Qingyue Sect came to give her a gift.
So, what were they here for? Ji Xuetong?
For some reason, Zhu felt that Xue Huan was involved in this matter. She looked at her and saw that everyone present was surprised that someone from Qingyue Sect had come. However, Xue Huan's face showed no sign of surprise, as if she had known they would come.
It turned out that she came back to the Marquis' Mansion for revenge!
She would not stop until the Marquis' Mansion was completely destroyed! She should have strangled this lowly creature from the beginning!
No, she should have stopped Lin Lan from entering the mansion!
Among the four people from Qingyue Sect, the leading female disciple Qingyun looked around and said to everyone, "The four of us have come here today to settle a feud with Zhu Nianshuang. Please be my witnesses."
Many people are unfamiliar with the name "Zhu Nianshuang" because in everyone's eyes, Zhu is the old lady of Changyang Marquis Mansion, Xue Zhu. As for the name Zhu Nianshuang, few people know it.
But when they saw the sword in Qingyun's hand pointing directly at Zhu, they knew that the "Zhu Nianshuang" Qingyun was talking about was today's old lady, the birthday boy.
Today's gossips are just one after another. First, the legitimate daughter born to the stepmother Han secretly murdered the third princess. Then, the legitimate son Xue Cheng born to Han was proved to be not the biological son of Marquis Changyang. Now it's the old lady's turn?
What kind of grudge is there between the old lady and the Qingyue Sect?
Zhu naturally couldn't let Qingyun tell the truth, so she immediately said, "Today is my birthday, and you from the Qingyue Sect have come uninvited. As long as you're here sincerely to celebrate my birthday, there's nothing wrong with coming uninvited, but you clearly have ill intentions. What? Do you really think that my Changyang Marquisate is afraid of you, the Qingyue Sect? Zhi'er, why don't you kick these uninvited guests out!"
It was obvious that he didn't want to give Qingyun any chance to speak.
As early as when Qingyun and the others arrived, Xue Zhi's eyelids were twitching. Seeing his mother's reaction, he guessed that his mother might really have some grudge with the Qingyue Sect.
The Marquis' Mansion has lost face enough today. If it continues to lose face, the Changyang Marquis' Mansion will become a laughing stock in the entire Kyoto.
Therefore, Xue Zhi didn't want Qingyun and the others to speak.
Xue Zhi could become the favored Marquis of Changyang, so his strength was naturally not weak. Now he was a master of the sixth level of the Lingwu period. Among the four people of Qingyue Sect, Qingyun had the highest cultivation level, at the eighth level of the Body Refining period, while the others were only in the middle stage of the Body Refining period. Even if all four of them were added together, they were far from being Xue Zhi's opponents.
However, Qingyun and his companions were not afraid at all.
Just as Xue Zhi approached the group, a clear shout came from the air, "Let's see who dares to touch the disciples of the Qingyue Sect!"
The person who came was wearing a dark blue slim-fitting long dress, with a cool and noble temperament. It was Ji Xuetong who had recovered from her injuries. Although her strength had not fully recovered, she was once a master of the Lingwu stage, and her aura was unmatched by ordinary people.
Ji Xuetong was a once famous master of the Lingwu stage. Many people present recognized her and exclaimed in surprise when they saw her appear.
Some of the younger generation who had never heard of Ji Xuetong's reputation soon learned about her past deeds from other people's popular science, and their eyes became brighter when they looked at her.
Seeing Ji Xuetong with all her scars gone and seemingly fully recovered, Zhu's heart sank. However, she then thought about how she had been very secretive about what she had done before. As long as she refused to admit it, Ji Xuetong wouldn't be able to do anything to her.
However, what she didn't know was that Xue Huan had already secretly released the little paper man and pasted a mantra talisman on her. Even if she didn't want to admit it, under the effect of the mantra talisman, she couldn't control her mouth.
As soon as Ji Xuetong appeared, Qingyun and the other three were surprised and came forward to greet her.
When they received Elder Ji's letter before, they were very happy to know that Elder Ji was still alive, but they were still uneasy before they saw her in person. Now that they saw her standing in front of them in good health and with a good complexion, they finally felt relieved.
Ji Xuetong glanced at their faces one by one. She only remembered Qingyun. The other three female disciples all looked very young, probably less than 20 years old. They were probably accepted into the sect after she "disappeared".
But since they are disciples of their Qingyue Sect, she will not allow others to bully them!
"Stand behind me." Ji Xuetong didn't spend much time reminiscing with Qingxue. After all, now was not the occasion to reminisce.
Qingyun and the others obediently stood behind her.
It’s not that he was afraid of danger and hid behind her, but he was afraid that his strength was too low and would bring trouble to her.
Elder Ji is a master in the Spiritual Martial Stage, so they should not show off their strength. They should just hide behind her and not cause trouble for her.
However, what they didn't know was that Ji Xuetong's current cultivation level was not much higher than Qingyun's. However, with the aura of a former spiritual martial arts cultivator, as well as the bonus of eyesight and experience, if a real fight broke out, Ji Xuetong would be much stronger than Qingyun.
Of course, he is still far inferior to Xue Zhi. After all, there is a gap in the level of cultivation.
But Xue Zhi didn't know that when facing Ji Xuetong, a senior master who had entered the Lingwu stage more than ten years ago, he subconsciously became alert and fearful.
Ji Xuetong's eyes passed over him and fell on Zhu. Zhu's eyes shrank and she didn't dare to look at her.
At this moment, the shadow that Zhu had cast on Ji Xuetong's heart suddenly dissipated a lot. Her cultivation had been completely devoured by Zhu, and her body was bound by black iron chains, leaving her at her mercy. Day after day, year after year, Zhu became an indelible shadow in her heart.
However, now, in public, Zhu was afraid when facing her, and no longer had the arrogant look she once had in front of her.
"Zhu Nianshuang, you should know why I am here." Ji Xuetong walked towards her step by step, and every step seemed to be stepping on Zhu's heart.
Zhu forced herself to remain calm, "I..." She wanted to say that she didn't know, but the words came out of her mouth and turned into: "...Of course I know, you are here to seek revenge on me..."
Hearing the words coming out of her mouth, Zhu couldn't help but reveal a look of horror on her face. What was going on? Why did she say these words uncontrollably?
She wanted to stop, but unfortunately she didn't.
