Xu Yuehua overheard some of the conversation. Her hearing was excellent, and as her cultivation level increased, her ability to be insensitive naturally improved, allowing her to open up her insensitivity at will.
Everyone overheard the disdainful words of the rogue cultivator. Those who initially thought Xu Yuehuai was very capable have now turned against him, believing that Xu Yuehuai is nothing but a rotten apple.
"Now that you mention it, it really does seem that way. I used to think this girl was a nice person, but now that I see her, wow!"
"Why does this girl look so much like Dean Guo's personal disciple?" A disciple from Qingcheng Academy had just come down the mountain and saw the commotion and wanted to come and see. When he found out that the troublemakers were from the Jin family, he wanted to see even more so so that he could report back to the Jin family and make a profit.
To his surprise, when he saw the woman in the crowd wearing a blue dress, he felt that she looked familiar. Her tone of voice, her tone of tone, and her profile all seemed so familiar.
Persistence pays off, and he finally remembered who the person in front of him was. When he said this, there was a moment of silence around him. When everyone realized what the man was saying, they all looked around.
"What evidence do you have for what you're saying? Are you just making this up out of thin air? Besides, I've heard of Dean Guo's disciples. One of his disciples is dead, and the other went to the second floor, so how did he end up here?"
"Yes, you must have mistaken someone for someone else. That person could not possibly be Xu Yuehuai."
"Don't you guys really think this woman's attitude towards the Pu family is a bit strange? Xu Yuehuai and Ji Yuanchi were very close as Dean Guo's students, so this person in front of you must be Xu Yuehuai."
"Moreover, she is very skilled. You didn't see it just now. When she injured the young master of the Jin family, she ended the fight with just one move. The people around didn't even see what happened before it was over. May I ask, has anyone seen this kind of fighting ability in this godforsaken place on the third floor?"
Compared to the Qingcheng Academy disciple's seemingly random remark, this person's analysis made more sense. He had long suspected this, but had never dared to verify it. Now that such an opening had been created, he had the opportunity to express what he wanted to say in this way.
Everyone looked at each other, completely unaware of the situation. If that were truly the case, things would get much more interesting.
"Who do you think is better, the personal disciple of Dean Guo of Qingcheng Academy or the Jin family patriarch in front of us?"
When this news came out, it was inevitable that some people in the crowd would make bets. Someone said without thinking, "Of course it's Miss Xu Yuehuai. She went to the second floor, so her strength is obviously extraordinary. Is there any need to say anything more?"
"Hey, brother, I think that's a misconception! Why did she come back for no reason? She's all alone, and she's dressed very plainly. I think she must have no place on the second floor, so she came back. What kind of strength could someone who's been driven back have!"
"You can't say that. What if they just miss their old friends and want to come back to see their master? Don't make wild guesses here."
...
Some of what these people said reached the ears of the Jin family head. When he learned that the person in front of him was actually Xu Yuehuai, his expression cracked for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal.
He shared the same mentality as those who thought Xu Yuehuai had been forced back. Who among those who had already risen to the top would still recall the hardships they endured in this place? Why come down here when you can enjoy life to the fullest?
So the Jin family head immediately relaxed his guard. "So it's Miss Xu! I've heard so much about you! I've long heard that Dean Guo has two disciples, both of whom are quite remarkable. One of them, a disciple from the Pu family, has died, while the other is doing very well on the second floor. It's something that everyone envies!"
The Jin family head spoke in a sarcastic and unfriendly tone, and his gaze was so unpleasant that it was irritating at first glance.
Xu Yuehuai raised an eyebrow and smiled, "I wonder what brings Patriarch Jin here today?"
Xu Yuehuai had no intention of exchanging pleasantries with the person in front of her and went straight to the point.
After pondering Xu Yuehuai's identity and his own dead son, the Jin family head hesitated for a moment before saying, "Did you kill someone today? Coincidentally, that person was my son. I've been childless for many years, and this one child of mine died at your hands. Miss Xu, what do you suggest we do about this?"
When Pu Erge came out, he heard these words. His expression was not very good, and he looked at Pu Dage standing to the side with some doubt in his eyes, as if asking him what he was up to and why he had to bring his sister out.
"This was all a misunderstanding. My younger sister saw your son bullying my older brother and me, so she stepped in to help. She accidentally killed your son. I'm so sorry. It was all unintentional and there was no malice intended."
Pu Erge stepped forward and bowed to the Jin family head. Faced with the life and death of his loved ones, he was able to bend and stretch. He didn't care about saving face.
Seeing Pu Erge's appearance, the Jin family head became even more certain that Xu Yuehuai was incompetent and had been kicked out. He laughed out loud, a laugh that carried an unknown amount of mockery.
But the person in front of him didn't dare to resist at all.
Xu Yuehuai tugged at her second brother's arm, making him step back to her side. The Jin family patriarch's expression also became more serious. "So... it was my son's fault after all?"
"But there are two of you, and my son is only one person. How could he possibly bully both of you? There must be some misunderstanding here."
The man deliberately portrayed the incident as a misunderstanding, leaving everyone to guess what really happened.
"In this Qingcheng, who doesn't know that the two young masters of the Pu family are both talented and handsome, and their cultivation is even more remarkable? My son is just a good-for-nothing. He was killed so easily by Miss Xu. How could he possibly have the ability to bully the two young masters?"
Some people who had no idea what was going on followed the Kim family head's line of thinking without realizing that they were also being used.
They looked at each other for a few moments, then said as if suddenly realizing something, "Yes, that's strange, really."
