"Fourth brother! Stop talking nonsense here!" Zisangyi didn't care about the sect leader's calm and dignified appearance. He couldn't stand others bullying his disciple, so he jumped out to uphold justice for Xu Yuehuai the moment he was slandered.
The Fourth Elder was unwilling to give up, his face showing a hint of determination. "What I said today is true. Don't think that just because she is your disciple, I wouldn't dare to do anything to her!"
The people below, between Xu Yuehuai and the Fourth Elder, were more willing to believe Xu Yuehuai, after all, he was the hero who saved everyone.
Qi Guze hadn't been in a good mood the whole way, and upon hearing this, he stepped forward, his eyes cold, and asked, "Who is this other person you're talking about?"
“Yi Zhuo,” the Fourth Elder said confidently.
The next second, spiritual energy fluctuated around Qi Guze. The Fourth Elder in the air felt threatened, as if something was trying to pull him down from the sky. The source of this power seemed to be the man next to Xu Yuehuai.
After such an incident, everyone wanted to see what was going on, and many people had already stood on very high ground, hoping to secure the best viewing position.
When Shangguan Xi and the others saw that Qi Guze could unleash such power, they were all shocked. Their impression of Qi Guze was still that of a weak and spineless man who only knew how to act cute and charming around his senior sister and rose to power by relying on his good looks.
Before anyone could see clearly, Qi Guze suddenly pulled his upper arm down and grabbed a person. He was tightly choking that person's neck, his eyes devoid of any emotion, like a god of death emerging from the ground.
When the Fourth Elder saw the woman's face clearly, his body trembled for a moment. He looked at Qi Guze in disbelief, pointing a finger at him, "You... what kind of monster are you... how did you do that..."
Zi Sangyi wasn't surprised that Qi Guze was capable, but she never expected that his strength was even greater than she had imagined.
For a moment, the sound of breathing around us could be clearly heard.
The only response the Fourth Elder received was the sound of Izhuo's body being thrown at his feet; Izhuo didn't even have time to say a word.
She was completely stunned when she realized that her body was being pulled in by a huge suction force. The next second, her neck was tightly gripped. She desperately tried to relieve some of the force by grabbing the person who was gripping her neck with both hands.
Xu Yuehua raised an eyebrow at this. She knew that Qi Guze had now progressed to a terrifying level, at least to the point that none of the people in front of him could defeat combined. She understood this when even the Demon Lord had to bow down before his power.
"The person you want, here you go. As for what you said, I can forgive and forget about Yuehuai's past actions. A wise person knows when to yield." Qi Guze put one hand on Xu Yuehuai's shoulder, making a protective gesture.
The Fourth Elder swallowed hard, too nervous to say anything. Dark clouds began to gather in the sky, like a sign of an approaching storm.
People began to disperse; they had enough to process today's events for a while—the amount of information was simply too much.
Although the Fourth Elder was unwilling to accept it, the current situation clearly did him no good. "You... don't push your luck! I can let you go today, but what about the future? Do you think you can hide forever?!"
Seeing the Fourth Elder's fearless and heroic appearance, Zi Sang wanted to curse, "Song He! Did a donkey kick your brain?!"
"What makes you think that if Xu Yuehuai really wanted to kill Song Xin, why go through all that trouble to do it through Yi Zhuo? And why let Yi Zhuo blatantly expose that Xu Yuehuai is the one behind it all? You've been made a fool of yourself, and you still haven't realized it. You're incredibly stupid!"
These words calmed the Fourth Elder down. He had some disbelief in his eyes, but in fact, when Qi Guze revealed his terrifying strength, his thoughts had already begun to waver.
...
This farce was interrupted by a sudden downpour, and everyone huddled under the eaves, speechless. Xu Yuehuai glanced at Qi Guze several times, but only looked, saying nothing and doing nothing.
When she looked at him for the fifth time, Qi Guze couldn't help but pinch her head and say, "What exactly do you want to say? Or do you just want to see me? Then I'll show you, you don't have to sneak around."
Qi Guze shamelessly looked at Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai shook her head, freeing it from Qi Guze's large hand, and then said, "I just saw everyone looking at you, so I followed suit. Don't be so narcissistic."
Qi Guze chuckled softly, saying nothing, just staring at Xu Yuehuai's profile as if he had a thousand words to say but couldn't share them with the woman before him.
The rain hadn't stopped, but Zi Sangyi had already made preparations and brought Xu Yuehuai back to the sect. Qi Guze wanted to go back with them, but the Fourth Elder refused, saying, "I don't agree to bring such a dangerous person back to the sect!"
He looked at Qi Guze with an arrogant air, as if to say, "Look, I won this round!"
Qi Guze's expression didn't change at all because of the man in front of him. However, his expressionless look made him seem even more like a servant. Seeing this, Zisang, who was standing to the side, quickly stepped forward and reprimanded the Fourth Elder, "Song He, I haven't even settled accounts with you for what you just did. You'd better not say or do anything now, understand?"
Zi Sangyi's words carried a threatening tone. The Fourth Elder did not want to compromise, but after glancing at Zi Sangyi's expression, he finally snorted coldly and left.
Walking beside Xu Yuehuai, Ji Yaocen felt that she was completely unharmed and admired Xu Yuehuai from the bottom of her heart, "You are really lucky to be alive."
Ji Yaocen speaks very stiffly, except when dealing with colleagues, just like she is now.
Xu Yuehuai turned to look at her and smiled slightly, "Thank you for your compliment."
Nangong Yu listened to the strange way the two were talking. How come he didn't notice that they were praising each other? Where did they go wrong? He had heard the whole thing, but it felt like he knew nothing.
Upon arriving at the sect, Xu Yuehuai began following the procedures prepared by Zisangyi. First, there was an award presentation and a speech, followed by a long speech, and finally, Xu Yuehuai was left on stage to give a concluding speech.
Xu Yuehuai said that she was never so speechless when she spoke on stage in sixth grade, and she quickly ended the segment after saying a few words.
Actually, apart from the people of Duancheng who were very aware of the danger, people in other regions didn't feel anything, since the Demon Lord hadn't even arrived there yet.
