Chapter 125 Yicheng Trial 6 Among the nineteen people present, ...
Of the nineteen people present, eighteen were from Yicheng, and the other was a cultivator from Daoqiancheng.
Without exception, each of them was sent by an elder in the clan.
Most people arrived last night, and the elders stayed with the younger generation until this morning. If Xie Jiaoyue had arrived earlier, she might have been able to bump into some of them.
The elders do this partly to make their children look good, and partly to use it as a social occasion where they can meet and chat, perhaps even closing a deal and expanding the family's network.
This is customary; in the prominent families of Yicheng, unless someone is involved in a scandal, an elder will always accompany them to such occasions.
Although the cultivator from Daoqian City was unaware of this matter, the people of Daoqian City loved to roam around, buying low and selling high, so they naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.
Thus, Xie Jiaoyue became the only person to come to the training ground by herself.
It was as if her family had been involved in a scandal and she couldn't show her face in public.
Gong Shiyu looked at Xie Jiaoyue with a gloomy expression.
He was severely punished at home, and naturally he wouldn't blame the Chu ruler for these things, since the Chu ruler was wise and could not possibly be wrong.
He blamed everything on Xie Jiaoyue.
Gong Shiyu felt that the Chu ruler was right. Xie Jiaoyue, a mere furnace cauldron, was even less than his lowly concubine. How could someone like her, who had risen to such a lowly position, possibly be completely clean?
Xie Jiaoyue must have used underhanded means to steal the achievements that he and the Lord of Chu should have had, even forcing the Lord of Chu to leave for distant lands, separating them to develop their own paths, hoping to meet again in the Eastern Region.
Before leaving, the King of Chu earnestly told him that Xie Jiaoyue was a wicked person and that he should not confront her directly, but rather focus on developing himself.
Gong Shiyu had intended to do so. In any case, he and Xie Jiaoyue were not in the same city and rarely saw each other. He had no intention of going to Jinling City to make things difficult for Xie Jiaoyue.
But now, Xie Jiaoyue has run into his hands.
He wanted to expose Xie Jiaoyue's true colors and let everyone see just how ugly she really was.
Deep down, Gongshi Yu harbored other plans.
The King of Chu has already stated that the marriage agreement with Xie Jiaoyue is now a worthless piece of paper and there is absolutely no possibility of it being fulfilled.
That makes perfect sense; a vile woman like Xie Jiaoyue is utterly unworthy of the King of Chu.
But it wouldn't be so bad to be his concubine.
Xie Jiaoyue was arrogant, wasn't she? He wanted to see if she could still be arrogant when she was sobbing beneath him.
Gong Shiyu saw that Xie Jiaoyue completely ignored Wang Qingshan's words and began to inspect Yuelong Field on her own. He gave Wang Qingshan a look.
Wang Qingshan understood.
Wang Qingshan stood up, rubbed his wrists, and walked towards Xie Jiaoyue in the center of Yuelong Field.
"Hey, you over there, are you pretending not to hear me? What, is this how the aristocratic families of Jinling City teach their juniors? Not only are they too afraid to show their faces, but they don't even know basic manners? They didn't even greet us?"
"So what exactly happened to your Xie family? Why don't you even send anyone here? Tell us. If you make us happy, we might just help you solve the problem."
Xie Jiaoyue thought this person was very immature, like a middle school student who didn't understand much.
This is a training ground that Director Wan painstakingly built, yet instead of seizing the time to cultivate, he wastes it arguing with others.
Xie Jiaoyue found it boring and didn't want to get involved in such childish things.
She admitted directly: "Yes, our Xie clan is humble. We exhausted the strength of the entire clan to secure a spot just for me. They feel that they are not on the same level as the Gongshi clan at all, so they dare not come and offend your eyes."
Xie Jiaoyue ignored these people and, after finding the most suitable place for her to cultivate in Yuelong Field, sat down and began to meditate and cultivate.
Before closing her eyes, Xie Jiaoyue opened her left eye and looked at Wang Qingshan, who was still standing in front of her: "You should know that our Xie family is poor and weak, and my foundation in cultivation is not solid. If you interrupt my meditation, it will inevitably cause my spiritual energy to flow backward and my meridians to break. At that time, the Xie family will definitely not be able to solve the problem for me, so I will have to rely on you. You will be responsible for me for the rest of your life."
"Oh, by the way, our ancestor has already said that I am the future hope of the Xie family. If I am gone, it will be too late for the Xie family. At that time, the Xie family will have no choice but to pack up and come to your house to beg for money every day. I believe you are aware of this."
They're pathetic and weak, so why don't they cause trouble in front of everyone? This is the territory of the Director of the Heaven and Earth Bureau, Xie Jiaoyue doesn't believe these people have the guts.
After saying that, Xie Jiaoyue stopped talking and immediately entered a state of cultivation.
Wang Qingshan was speechless.
He knew Xie Jiaoyue was just bluffing him, but he wasn't Gongshi Yu. If he really caused Xie Jiaoyue's meridians to reverse in the training ground, the Gongshi family would definitely not help him if the Xie family made a fuss, and the Wang family wouldn't have the ability to help either.
Wang Qingshan felt many eyes staring at his back. He forced himself to remain calm and said, "Ridiculous. Why would I attack a weak furnace? Our Yicheng is not so petty."
The cultivator from Daoqian City was surnamed Yang, a young girl named Yang Yang. She muttered softly, "A weak furnace? This is a capable person who can get first place in the Qingyuan Secret Realm. This is the disciple of the Qingyuan Sword Master!"
Wang Qingshan paused in his steps as he walked back.
He was by Gongshi Yu's side every day, listening to Gongshi Yu belittle Xie Jiaoyue, to the point that he almost forgot that she was the disciple of the Sword Master Qingyuan.
The Sword Master Qingyuan is still in the training ground!
That was a genuine Nascent Soul stage cultivator. If we wiped him out, even his family might not be able to do anything about it.
He awkwardly sat back down in his original spot.
Gong Shiyu thought Wang Qingshan was utterly useless. He frowned and said, "My father met with Qingyuan Sword Master this morning. The Chief of the Western City Jue Division has important business with Qingyuan Sword Master, so Qingyuan Sword Master will be away for a few days. What are you afraid of? He's not here."
They deliberately sent the people away, about ten days, which was the time his father gave him to deal with Xie Jiaoyue.
Wang Qingshan wanted to explain himself, but his father wasn't the Grand Elder of the Gongshi Clan, so how would he know where the Azure Kite Sword Master was?
Gong Shiyu stared at Xie Jiaoyue with a sinister look in his eyes: "Just a furnace."
He looked to his right and waved to her. A beautiful female cultivator who looked slightly timid hesitated for a moment before coming forward.
Gong Shiyu placed his hand on the female cultivator's waist, pulled her into his arms, and kneaded her waist wantonly, completely disregarding the gazes of those around them.
"Wang Qingshan, do you think Xie Jiaoyue is so arrogant because she is Qingyuan Sword Master's disciple or his concubine?"
Wang Qingshan dared not answer.
Gong Shiyu held a pill in his hand, which his father had given him before he left, instructing him to use it on Xie Jiaoyue.
He didn't really want to use it; the medicine was too potent and would make Xie Jiaoyue unable to even serve as a furnace cauldron.
Unlike his father, he didn't see Xie Jiaoyue as a huge threat. He felt that if Xie Jiaoyue was destined to be a useless person, then she might as well be a useless person in his backyard.
Gong Shiyu said to the female cultivator beside him, "Tomorrow you will come with me to the tower. You will stand guard at the entrance and prevent Xie Jiaoyue from entering the tower."
"If you can't stop them, well, you know the consequences yourself."
The female nun flinched and replied, "Yes."
