Before leaving, Master Xiang politely said
"Ancestor, I'll go arrange accommodations for everyone. You all go ahead with your work..."
After Xiang Daoren left, Qingyunzi proactively erected a protective barrier, enveloping me and Tuoba San within it, and then said with a smile.
"Mistress, you have something to tell me, right? This place is now isolated; no one will be listening in. Just say it..."
Tuoba San hadn't expected Qingyunzi to be so insightful. After hesitating for a moment, Tuoba San said...
"Senior Ling Feng has been killed..."
Upon hearing this news, Qingyunzi's aura suddenly surged...
He stared intently at Tuoba San, trying to verify the truth of the news…
However, he quickly thought of the jade pendant. Tuoba San had already gained the jade pendant's approval, and he was cultivating the technique contained within it...
Back then, this jade pendant was entrusted to Ling Feng for safekeeping. Now that it's in Tuoba San's hands, it's not surprising that Tuoba San knows about Ling Feng's situation...
How did you know?
Upon hearing Qingyunzi's question, Tuoba San released the jade pendant, while simultaneously observing Qingyunzi's changing expression...
When he saw the knowing look in Qingyunzi's eyes, he knew that Qingyunzi definitely knew the origin of the jade pendant...
"Actually, Senior Ling Feng's soul was absorbed by this jade pendant, so he was the one who told me..."
Hearing Tuoba San's words, I knew I was in trouble. If I stayed here, Ling Feng's soul wouldn't be able to wake up, but if I suddenly suggested leaving, it would arouse Qingyunzi's suspicion...
As my son, Tuoba San certainly wouldn't suspect me, but Qingyunzi has been through so much scheming and intrigue over the years; he'd definitely see through the subtle connection at a glance…
Bang bang bang…
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. The three of us turned around and saw Master Xiang push the door open and come in…
Upon seeing the protective shield, a hint of unease appeared on his face…
However, he still spoke.
"Ancestor, a conflict has broken out between Xuanshan and my Qingyun Sect disciples..."
Hearing his words, I thought to myself, "You're such a good guy! I just had a problem I couldn't solve, and you've already brought me a solution..."
I quickly interrupted him and said...
"Don't worry, you two continue chatting, I'll go check..."
I stood up and walked outside. Qingyunzi would definitely want to see Lingfeng next, and he wouldn't wake up if I didn't leave, which would lower the credibility of what my son said...
Master Xiang looked at me with a constipated expression, his teeth itching with hatred. Was that what he meant? He came over wanting to find out what you were talking about, and one sentence from me ruined all his plans…
He couldn't stay any longer, so he could only retreat awkwardly. I quickly arrived at the sect's gate, and when I saw Murong Juehu attacking Xuanshan, my anger surged instantly...
This must be that scoundrel Xiang Daoren sending someone to deliberately cause trouble. I went straight to Murong Juehu and raised my hand to deliver a powerful blow...
"You upside-down shit-eating bastard, how dare you touch my people?"
Upon hearing my words, Murong Juehu immediately covered his face, pointing at me angrily and saying...
"You've imprisoned members of my Murong family, so can't I take them away?"
Then I remembered that Murong Xuanxuan came from a branch of the Murong family, but now her soul contract is in my hands, and things that should and shouldn't have happened between us have already happened...
"You say you're from the Murong family, so where's the proof?"
I'm being blunt and uncompromising in my questioning. If there's no evidence, I'll present it; if there is, I'll argue and twist it. That's my current mindset...
“There is a special connection between the bloodlines of my Murong family. That girl is of my Murong family bloodline. Do we need any proof?”
Hearing my words, Murong Juehu became even more furious. This was blatant disrespect to the Murong family…
"I was even saying that there's a special connection between the Tuoba family members. That girl is of Tuoba family blood, and has absolutely no relation to your Murong family..."
What I'm saying is clearly unreasonable. For a top-tier family like the Murong family, the control over family members is extremely strict, and they naturally have their own methods to make family members recognize their ancestors and return to their clan...
But I'm not here to reason with them, so naturally I can't solve the problem using common sense...
"You...you're just being unreasonable..."
Murong Juehu roared angrily…
"Yeah, hit me then..."
Seeing my smug look, Murong Juehu felt like his lungs were about to explode with anger. Coupled with the slap I had just given him, his gaze was now spitting fire...
"This is what you requested..."
Murong Juehu kicked me directly in my groin, intending to cripple my third leg...
Seeing the other party's malicious intent, my gaze turned icy. Facing a martial god, I didn't even flinch...
Just as the opponent's attack was a meter away from me, a powerful rebounding force deflected Murong Juehu's attack back...
Before Murong Juehu could let out a scream, I raised my hand and swung a large sword at him...
I knocked his teeth out with the power of a Martial God. Even Murong Juehu, who was also a Martial God, couldn't withstand such an attack when caught off guard...
My slap wasn't very physically damaging, but it was extremely insulting...
Murong Juehu, who had come to save face, was now on the verge of tears...
Just as I was about to deliver a few more blows to Murong Juehu, a gust of wind came from behind...
Bang…
The other person screamed and ran back. I instinctively turned around and saw that it was actually that cunning old fox, Murong Qingyi…
"I'm telling you, you old geezer, you have no sportsmanship! You actually resorted to a sneak attack..."
How did you know I would launch a sneak attack?
Murong Qingyi thought I was prepared, after all, no one would have thought I had a built-in defensive reflection ability, and now attacks from those below the Martial God level couldn't hurt me at all...
"None of your business..."
I retorted without holding back...
"you…"
Murong Qingyi wanted to retort, but realized she couldn't win an argument with me...
He could only look at me coldly and say...
"No matter who you are, offending the Murong family will not end well. Don't think this matter is over..."
"You two old dogs, have you barked enough? If you have, then get lost..."
It's not that I don't want to take action; I want to leave the opportunity for my eldest son...
The two men knew they couldn't regain their lost face today, and besides, they had only been pushed out by Master Xiang to test our father and son. To avoid further humiliation, they exchanged a glance and decided to leave first…
"Hey, how can an old dog be so unruly? Don't you know how to bark twice before you get out of here?"
Hearing my words, the two men really wanted to come back; this was just too humiliating. However, to avoid further embarrassment, they could only run even faster…
