"What kind of hospitality is this?!" A clear female voice rang out. Zhu Yi walked around to Mu Yu's back and gently pushed aside the tall figure in front of her.
"Thank you, senior brother, but I think I should handle my own affairs."
Mu Yu felt that Zhu Yi was a bit too fierce, and scolded her in a low voice, "You usually seem quite smart, so why do you suddenly become so dim-witted at a time like this? The elders from the Zhu family are here, so we should have the elders talk to him. You should just go back and run your stall properly!"
This was the first rebuke Zhu Yi had heard since becoming a disciple of the Tianlan Sect.
In the past, minor squabbles between fortune-bringing and romance-related issues were not a big problem.
"Um...you can't say that. I just don't like the other side and really want to bully them back!" Her clear eyes were full of disdain for the Zhu family. She raised her voice and said, "If you want to be entertained so much, go find a place that can entertain you! Arranging guest rooms for you is already being polite. Do you want our elders to interrupt their seclusion and treat you like ancestors?"
"Alright, since you're going to retaliate, I won't interfere anymore. It's just kids fighting, I don't need to get involved." Mu Yu spoke in a kind, elderly tone, making Zhu Yi feel like he was taking advantage of her, though she couldn't quite put her finger on what kind of advantage she was getting.
Something just feels off.
Zhu Luoying was displeased: "Hey, Zhu Yi, what's wrong with you! Your father and I kindly took you home, and you're acting like some kind of pampered young lady!"
"What I look like is none of your business!" Zhu Yi said impatiently. Are all the Zhu family members this annoying?
Zhu Luoying was very agitated: "You made a big mistake and you still won't admit it, and you're still being so pretentious!"
"What did I do wrong? You immediately assume I'm wrong and should be punished? Who do you think you are? Your cultivation isn't even as high as Zhu Qianying's; you're just a lowly mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator. Can you please stop making a fool of yourself?"
Zhu Yi's words were sincere yet tinged with doubt, which amused the surrounding disciples, who chuckled quietly.
Xue Shan wanted to stand up for Zhu Yi, but Weiwei stopped her with a look.
Weiwei observed carefully: "Shanshan, look, Junior Sister changed her clothes before going out to talk to them. It's clear she doesn't want to admit in front of everyone that the stall is hers. Besides, if we don't sell these goods today, we won't get our investment back!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Shan returned to her seat and continued selling goods.
She believed that her junior sister could handle these matters, and after calming down, she realized that she couldn't do much by stepping forward. At most, she could act as a witness and say a few good words for her junior sister. The people from the Zhu family looked fierce and were clearly not to be trifled with. They probably already had a mental verdict against her and were just waiting to take her back to the Zhu family to be punished.
Weiwei sighed. Among the powerful and influential families, which one is easy to bully?
Zhu Yi was very satisfied with her colleagues' determination to continue working and promoting the "Mortal World Gift Pack".
She launched a full-scale attack on Zhu Luoying, saying, "I've been away from the Zhu family for a long time, and they've ignored me completely. I thought I didn't have a home anymore!"
"Hmph, so what? You're a member of the Zhu family, so you have to listen to their arrangements!" Zhu Luoying was like a proud little rooster, full of fighting spirit and bursting with thoughts of bullying Zhu Yi.
"It's true that my surname is Zhu, but that doesn't mean I should be bullied by you. Zhu Qianying killed someone online, and I was just acting in self-defense. It's normal that she was outmatched. Since you've come out to train, you should have the ability to accept the consequences. If you don't have the ability to fight me, but still want to rely on your family's glory to maintain your face, that's despicable!"
Zhu Yi didn't give Zhu Luoying and Zhu Zhanchang a chance to speak, and raised her voice: "During the training at Seven-Colored Mountain, Zhu Qianying of Wentian Pavilion, along with other fellow disciples, stole the Blue Feather Golden Claw Eagle King's cub first, and even tried to frame us, the disciples of Tianlan Sect. When the group accidentally entered the secret realm, Zhu Qianying failed to find treasure in the secret realm and instead developed murderous intent. Putting aside sisterly affection, she showed no brotherly affection and tried to kill first. Did you expect me to just sit there and wait for her to kill me?"
"Exactly! That's not right!"
"There were rumors before that Zhu Yi murdered her elder sister. So that's how it is. None of the Zhu sisters are easy to mess with."
"If Zhu Yi had behaved herself, would her sister have dared to discipline her? It's clearly you who behaved improperly, repeatedly bullied Zhu Qianying, and even burned her with evil fire! I'm the victim! My face was burned by your evil fire!"
Shen Hanfang, dressed in flowing green, stepped forward and loudly announced Zhu Yi's evil deeds to the crowd.
Beneath the thin veil covering her face was a hideous face, scarred and grotesque by Zhu Yi's ghostly fire.
The moment she pulled off her veil, everyone gasped involuntarily, "How could she be burned like that? It's terrifying!"
"Yes, a female cultivator's appearance is the most important thing. Did Zhu Yi really set her on fire? That's too cruel!"
Unaware of the truth, the crowd was frightened by the scars on Shen Hanfang's face and began to question Zhu Yi.
"The Imperial Mirror Master is actually willing to take Zhu Yi as his disciple, this is just too much..."
Everyone knows what was going to happen next. After all, Master Yujing is currently in charge of Taoshan, so no one can openly speak ill of Zhu Yi.
At least, it can't be said openly.
