Chapter 296: Deliberately Provoking Right and Wrong and Punishing Madmen
"I just don't understand. Where do the stones come from when sweeping Youyuan Palace every day? What do you think, Xinyi?" Lingxiang sang in the style of the mortal opera troupe, cracking pine seeds while glancing at Xinyi nonchalantly.
Fortunately, Xinyi was calm and composed. Facing Lingxiang's sarcastic innuendos, she remained calm and just stood there motionless, like a pillar.
Too much talk will lead to mistakes!
Zhao Wuyang, needless to say, shrank behind Xinyi. He had never forgotten what Lingxiang had done in Ding'anju. Although Lingxiang hadn't harmed him, she had been even more terrifying back then.
Seeing the three of them trapped in this situation, Liu Xia was a little at a loss for a moment. Fortunately, he looked up and saw Banxia and Lianqiao peeking at the door of Youyuan Palace. So he greeted them casually and was about to leave this place of trouble.
However, things don't always go as planned...
"As Senior Brother Donghui's only female disciple, I think she must have caught his eye. Otherwise, he wouldn't have specifically instructed Hanyang to keep Banxia here, right?"
Lingxiang's expression suddenly changed as she spoke. "Oh! I heard Banxia is extremely lucky. Chosen by heaven, even in this mortal world where immortality is declining, she's very likely to achieve enlightenment." Then she sighed with regret. "If such a talented disciple were married off, wouldn't Senior Brother Donghui be furious and go on a killing spree?"
"Hey! Tsk tsk tsk! What a pity..."
Hearing this, Liu Xia turned around and looked at Lingxiang who was shaking her head. The expression on her face kept changing, suspicion, surprise, shyness... all kinds of emotions mixed in it, it was really exciting.
Liu Xia thought that he had just expressed his feelings to Banxia and had not made it public. Moreover, he believed that he had kept this feeling very secret. How did Lingxiang know about it?
Besides, he had never heard of disciples not being able to fall in love with each other. Even if he did marry Banxia in the future, it wouldn't matter that she was a disciple of Senior Master Donghui, right? Moreover, from what he had seen and heard, Senior Master Donghui wasn't a violent person. How could he be as terrifying as Lingxiang described?
However, this matter still needs to be handled with caution. After all, we'll be seeing each other again in the future, so it's not good to anger Senior Uncle Donghui, right? And listening to Lingxiang's implication, he already had a plan in mind. So, let's just endure it for a while!
Liu Xia retracted his steps, walked behind Xinyi with an awkward look on his face, and hid with Zhao Wuyang.
Who made Xinyi so big? He really needs to use his skills now. As long as he can shelter from the wind and rain, he will be a good shield.
Lingxiang glanced at the four of them, and seeing that they were standing there obediently, she said no more and started cracking pine seeds by herself.
None of the four grown men dared to speak first, and the situation was a little awkward for a while. Just when they were about to think that Lingxiang was also here to watch the fun, they heard Lingxiang ask.
"Well, whose idea was it?"
This question seemed like a life-saving straw. Liu Xia and Zhao Wuyang quickly raised their fingers and pointed at Long Qi. Even the serious Xinyi quietly extended her finger at this time.
Long Qi was greatly surprised and looked at the three people with shock.
He...he was betrayed like this?
"You...you actually...can this brother still do this?"
Hearing this, Xinyi, Liu Xia, and Zhao Wuyang all shook their heads at the same time.
What are brothers? Brothers are there to betray you at the critical moment!
Long Qi couldn't help but roll his eyes, but the sound of fruit shells cracking in his ears, one after another in an orderly manner, kept reminding him that he was still in big trouble.
"You...you listen to me..." Long Qi approached Lingxiang at a loss, but didn't know where to start for a while.
Lingxiang looked at Long Qi with just one look, as if to say: If you have something to say, say it quickly, otherwise don't disturb me from watching the fun.
Just when Long Qi was speechless, Xinyi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
"They spoke rudely to you, that's why they did this."
"Rude? To me? Why would you say that?"
It turned out that because a group of elders had to go into seclusion, all the disciples in the sect were required to gather in Youyuan Hall for their daily practice, supervised by Shangqing Zhenren's second disciple Hanwu, and the disciples of Taishang Sect were also arranged here.
However, the day before, when school was over, the gossip of those Tai Shang Sect disciples was overheard by Long Qi and others.
The topic of the conversation naturally refers to the spiritual incense, and the reason is the relationship between the two sects.
True Man Lieyang brought with him twenty-four disciples on this visit, headed by his second disciple Hui Yan.
To be honest, Hui Yan was nothing special. He was guarding outside the Wuji Palace with some disciples. But the rest were all terrible. They heard from somewhere that True Man Lieyang was a disciple of Patriarch Wuwei, so they all regarded themselves as superior to others and claimed to be on the same level as Yuan Qing and other elders.
The day before yesterday, these disciples were bored and gossiping, saying that the reason why they did not bring the eldest disciple of Zhenren Lieyang when visiting Yuanqing Sect this time, but brought the second disciple instead, was because they wanted to ask for the hand in marriage of Elder Fu Cang of Yuanqing Sect.
She also said that after all, she was old enough, and if she didn't get married now, would she be a nun for the rest of her life? As a woman, it was really unruly to mix with a group of men.
As luck would have it, Long Qi and the others overheard these words. Long Qi was furious, and even Liu Xia was so angry that he immediately stood up, ready to argue.
However, somehow, Long Qi managed to suppress his anger and even grabbed the furious Liu Xia.
"So you thought of this method?" Lingxiang disagreed, as if she was not the one being humiliated.
"Miss Lingxiang, you don't know that this is still an mild statement. Those vulgar people speak without restraint and have said even more unpleasant things, but they just don't know how to say them." Seeing Lingxiang's indifferent look, Liu Xia quickly spoke.
As a disciple of Taoism, he actually used his looks to tease women. This is really too much!
"Hmm..." Lingxiang pondered for a while before she understood.
I think the two sides will quarrel, and it is probably because of these four people fanning the flames.
If this is true, then it's definitely the fault of these Tai Shang Sect disciples. While there are reasons for this, given the current situation, causing such a large disturbance and involving two major sects is unlikely to end well.
It was just gossip. Even if it was against Lingxiang's face, she might not have treated them equally. But she was still touched that Long Qi and the others stood up for her.
Never mind, it’s just young people’s vigor. As elders, we should naturally be more tolerant.
Lingxiang sighed helplessly: I think the person who is here to clean up the situation should have arrived by now.
Perhaps it was in response to Lingxiang's thoughts, as a loud voice was heard outside Youyuan Palace:
"stop!"
