Chapter 850 Extra 16: Kneeling on the ground and calling her "Ancestor," chasing after her.
Behind her, both Wu Chuan and Si Kongshan, two masters who had long been famous in the capital's feng shui and divination circles, were standing on either side.
Luo Ziqiu's hand trembled, and the phone fell to the ground.
He met the girl's indifferent gaze, his back tensed instantly, and his body stiffened.
Luo Ziqiu's knowledge of Ying Zijing came entirely from the internet.
She is so famous that she is known to everyone in the world wherever there is internet access.
But the halo surrounding her is mostly that of the wife of the CEO of Venus Group and a genius student of Imperial University.
They have absolutely nothing to do with their Xuanmen sect.
Their Xuanmen sect has always looked down on people from the secular world.
However, it must be admitted that Ying Zijin is quite perfect.
However, she was too far removed from his world, and was no longer someone he could even dream of.
But now?
Luo Ziqiu recalled Luo Xiu's earlier words, and his blood ran cold.
Master Ying?!
"Nephew, what are you standing there for?" The Gu family head didn't hear the contents of the phone call. His expression was cold and his gaze was icy. "The Fifth Family kidnapped my daughter for no reason. Don't they need to give an explanation?"
"Don't think that just because this is the capital, you can disregard the rules of the Xuanmen!"
Xuanmen is also a general term for the field of Feng Shui and divination, implying a profound and mysterious realm.
The rules and regulations of Taoism were gradually established during the Tang Dynasty.
One of the rules is that disciples of the Xuanmen sect must never kill each other.
The Gu family head didn't even glance at Ying Zijing. He strode in and sneered, "Fifth Chuan, you're getting old. I think you have less than three years left to live. The Xuanmen sect will belong to the Gu and Luo families from now on. What are you being so arrogant about here?"
"Release Hongxiu immediately and apologize to the Gu family."
Luo Ziqiu suddenly woke up with a start and hurriedly stopped him: "Uncle Gu, please don't—"
Before he could finish speaking, the Gu family head suddenly let out a scream.
It felt like something invisible had struck his nose with tremendous force. The Gu family head couldn't stop himself and ended up sitting on the ground.
Ying Zijing flexed her wrists, withdrew her inner energy, and said indifferently, "Noisy."
Luo Ziqiu broke out in a cold sweat even more.
This Master Ying is also a practitioner of ancient martial arts?!
"What are you standing there for?" Sikong Shan rolled his eyes. "Why aren't you bringing your family head in?"
The other members of the Gu family looked at each other in bewilderment and had no choice but to carry the Gu family head inside.
Gu Hongxiu was in the courtyard, her hands and feet bound.
Her hair was disheveled and messy, showing no signs of being a well-bred lady.
Upon seeing the Gu family head and Luo Ziqiu, Gu Hongxiu cried out in surprise, "Dad! Ziqiu! Save me, save me!"
Luo Ziqiu pursed his lips, avoiding Gu Hongxiu's gaze, his fists clenched, and he was already beginning to regret it.
"My son!" The Gu family head gritted his teeth and looked up. "What exactly does the Fifth Family mean?!"
“She violated the rules of the Xuanmen sect by using witchcraft and sorcery without authorization.” Ying Zijin finished, rolled up her sleeves, and said, “What do you think we should do about this?”
"Grandmaster was the master of our ancestor Shaoxian, and now he is also Yueyue's master." Fifth Chuan remained respectful. "All matters should be handled by Grandmaster."
"..."
The entire venue fell into a deathly silence.
Even Fifth Snow, who was waiting nearby, was surprised.
After a few seconds of silence, he turned his head and said, "Big brother, you spend the most time with Yueyue, you know that?"
Thirty seconds later, Fifth Wind slowly waved his hand: "I don't know."
Sikong Shan was even more shocked: "Holy crap?!"
He only knew that Ying Zijin's divination ability was the best in China, but how did he get involved with the Fifth Shaoxian of the Ming Dynasty?
Ying Zijing is clearly a young girl who will only turn twenty next month!
In an instant, the urban fantasy novels that Sikong Shan had read when he was bored began to flash through his mind.
He thought of everything—"possession," "immortal old man"—but couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation.
Sikong Shan clutched his head, in great pain: "My worldview has been shattered."
Fifth Flower squatted down and comforted him, "It's not a big problem, I'm broken too."
Gu Jia and Luo Ziqiu were so shocked that they were speechless.
Fifth Shaoxian holds an extremely high position in the Chinese divination community. Both the capital and Luonan have dedicated divination schools to him.
What about Fifth Young Master's master?
This matter concerns the ancestors of the Fifth Family, so Fifth Chuan would never lie.
"Thump, thump—"
The Gu family head turned pale and knelt down on the ground.
Luo Ziqiu was in no better shape, kneeling as well.
“I have no intention of getting into a conflict with the Luo family, but you should know—” Ying Zijin said calmly, “It’s not that I’m afraid of your Luo family, but that your Luo family is worthless.”
Luo Ziqiu couldn't even lift his head; his body trembled incessantly.
Fifth Shaoxian was already exceptionally capable; his master was someone they couldn't even imagine.
How dare the Luo family compete?
Ying Zijing easily killed the giant serpent that had been entrenched in the capital for a hundred years, as well as the Xie family's eldest elder.
It should be noted that when the Xie family's eldest elder was alive, his prestige and power had already surpassed those of Fifth Chuan and Sikong Shan.
Not to mention, the Xie family is the number one family in the ancient martial arts world.
But the Xie family didn't dare utter a single word.
Luo Ziqiu was far away in Luonan, so naturally he had never been to the ancient martial arts world.
They were even less aware that the Xie family had already been wiped out last year, and the world of ancient martial arts had changed drastically.
Ying Zijing lowered her eyelashes and tapped her fingers lightly on the table: "What did the Gu family say?"
"Miss Ying! Master Ying! Ancestor!" The Gu family head, who had been arrogant and domineering, was now kneeling on the ground, kowtowing frantically. "It's all my fault for failing to raise my daughter properly. Master Ying, please forgive her momentary ignorance. Master Ying, spare her life!"
Gu Hongxiu sat blankly on the ground, unable to speak.
Her mind was buzzing, and a metallic taste rose in her throat.
Who on earth did she offend?!
What good fortune did I have in May to have such a powerful master?
"What a fine example of failing to properly educate one's daughter." Ying Zijing smiled slightly. "So, you're going to be held equally guilty as your daughter?"
The Gu family head trembled: "Master Ying?"
"Don't worry, I'm a reasonable and good person." Ying Zijin nodded. "Everything will be done according to the rules. In the Xuanmen, how should one deal with someone who maliciously uses witchcraft to harm fellow disciples?"
Sikong Shan was startled and blurted out, "Naturally, we should treat them as they treat us."
“Okay.” Ying Zijing nodded. “Let’s do it that way.”
"I'll do it, I'll do it!" Sikong Shan perked up. "Master Ying, I—"
“No need.” Ying Zijin raised her hand to stop her. “You are not from the fifth family, so you don’t need to get involved in the cause and effect. I can handle it.”
Gu Hongxiu's eyes widened, and she panicked instantly: "No... I don't want to!"
Her divination skills were certainly not as strong as Ying Zijin's.
If Ying Zijing were to use witchcraft on her, how long could she withstand it?
The Gu family head panicked and started kowtowing again: "Master Ying, spare my life! Ancestor, spare my life!"
Ying Zijing's expression was cold, and she held two pieces of wood in her hands.
Under the influence of internal energy, the two pieces of wood quickly transformed into the shape of puppets.
Ying Zijin closed his eyes slightly.
She also didn't want to think about that day.
Even though May had already suffered a huge backlash from calculating her heart, she still stubbornly knelt down and said—
Disciple thanks Master.
The fifth month is mischievous and likes to cause trouble, so she protects her.
If anyone bullies Fifth Month, she will retaliate.
Ying Zijing glanced at the Gu family head and Gu Hongxiu, then engraved their birth dates and times on the paper.
Once finished, she handed the two puppets to Fifth Chuan: "Send them away."
Fifth Chuan accepted it: "Yes, Grandmaster."
The Gu family patriarch was utterly desperate: "Master Ying! The Gu family was wrong, truly wrong!"
They didn't take the fifth month seriously at all. Who would have thought this would happen today?
"As for you, since you and Yueyue have broken off your engagement, then it's as we agreed before." Ying Zijing didn't even look at Luo Ziqiu, and said indifferently, "The cause and effect are severed, and we have nothing to do with each other."
Luo Ziqiu felt bitter inside. He kowtowed several times, his voice strained, "Yes, Master Ying."
If he knew that Wu Yue's master was the master that the Luo family had gone to great lengths to befriend, how could he possibly break off the engagement with her?
If the Luo family hadn't been so aggressive back then, he would have married Wu Yue and wouldn't have had to worry about not having a powerful backer.
It is obvious that Ying Zijin has surpassed all the people in the Xuanmen sect and reached a level that they can only look up to.
Luo Ziqiu's thoughts were in complete disarray; regret overwhelmed him, making it hard to breathe.
But being able to return safely is already a great blessing.
However, Luo Ziqiu knew that the Luo family was doomed.
With Sikong Shan and Wu Chuan in charge, Ying Zijin's identity will spread throughout the entire Xuanmen sect in less than a day.
Now that Luo Xiu's abilities have been crippled, the Luo family has lost its pillar of support.
Luo Ziqiu was somewhat bewildered.
How exactly did things get to this point?
**
Sure enough, the news spread like wildfire within a day.
The Xuanmen sect in China was completely shaken.
"The Luo and Gu families have really been arrogant in Luonan for too long." Sikong Shan shook his head. "Sure enough, they will eventually fall."
"That's right, with our grandmaster taking action, it's naturally a piece of cake." Fifth Chuan stroked his beard and smiled. "Brother Sikong, would you like to go upstairs for a seat?"
"What?" Sikong Shan looked up at the roof, displeased. "Do you think I'm like our ancestors, capable of ancient martial arts and flying?"
"What's the big deal? I'll show you how to fly." Fifth Chuan put on the mecha that Ying Zijin had made for him, looking very proud. "See? I can fly."
Before Sikong Shan could react, he was lifted onto the roof by Wu Chuan.
Sikong Shan stared at the mecha on his body for a long time before saying, "Well, old man Fifth, when did you get such a good thing behind my back?"
It blinded him.
"This was given to me by my grandmaster," Fifth Chuan said slowly. "If you're so capable, go find a grandmaster yourself."
Sikong Shan: "..."
He hates it.
He was jealous.
"Hehe." Sikong Shan's eyes darted around. "If my grandson marries your granddaughter, or my granddaughter marries your grandson, wouldn't I be able to benefit from it?"
Fifth River: "...Don't even think about it."
Sikong Shan snorted twice: "You won't even let people have dreams, you're really domineering."
"I know I don't have much time left." Fifth Chuan sat down and sighed. "So before I die, my only wish is to see Yueyue get married. That would be enough for me."
Upon hearing this, Sikong Shan fell silent.
After a long pause, he finally spoke: "Those of us in this line of work who interfere with the established cause and effect don't live long."
“Yes, but now that the Fifth Family is under the watchful eye of the Grandmaster, I feel at ease.” Fifth Chuan’s expression suddenly became solemn. “Throughout my life, I, Fifth Chuan, have saved thousands of people and resolved hundreds of supernatural events.”
"In this life, I have no shame before my ancestor Shaoxian, no shame before the Fifth Family and its nine clans, no shame before Heaven, no shame before Earth, and no shame before myself."
There's nothing to regret.
"Fifth old man, hang in there!" Sikong Shan said anxiously. "You have to hold on until Miss Yue gets married and has children, just one more year, one more year."
"Bullshit!" Fifth Chuan's beard trembled with anger. "Yueyue will only be nineteen after her birthday this year. Who would be so beastly!"
Anyone who dares to do that, he'll skin them alive!
Sikong Shan: "..."
Fifth River then remembered something important.
Where did his precious Yueyue go?
**
O Continent.
Emerald green.
When I first entered Laurent Castle in May, I was truly dazzled.
She was taken not to the front hall, but to the heart of the castle where Caesar had always lived.
The walls and floors of the corridor are inlaid with gold and jade, and also inlaid with many rare gemstones.
In May, she immediately started calculating how much money she could make by taking all of these.
“Miss Yue.” Job bowed slightly. “This is your room. If you need anything, just press the bell.”
"No, no, that's too extravagant." Fifth Month suddenly covered her face in great pain. "I hate the rich so much!"
Job: "???"
It's over.
If Miss Yue hates the rich, wouldn't that mean that her master's only redeeming quality is gone?
Job coughed lightly, changing the subject: "Miss Yue, do you not like it here? Shall I get you another room?"
"No, no, no, I really like it." Fifth Month gritted her teeth, "But I just hate the rich!"
Job: "..."
His excellent servant's manners allowed him to continue the conversation: "Miss Yue likes this place very much. What if we gave it to you?"
Without a second thought, May's instinctive reaction was: "Sure, take the castle, not the people!"
Job: "..."
This topic can't be continued.
He closed the door and left.
In her heart, she silently lit another candle for Xize.
Today is a day worth celebrating.
lobby.
The elders were gathered together, discussing the upcoming report meeting.
The elder suddenly said, "Shouldn't our master also get married and have children?"
"That's right." The Second Elder scratched his head. "There are very few girls who are worthy of the master."
"Actually, it still depends on the master's own wishes." The elder nodded. "But invitations can be sent to all single noble ladies under the age of twenty-five. We'll see who the master can get along with then."
"Alright, alright, I'll go make the invitations right away."
"What invitation?"
A voice rang out.
The elders all stood up immediately: "Master."
The young man was wearing a white suit; he was handsome with well-defined features.
His blue eyes were as deep as the ocean, vast and turbulent.
"Master, we are considering your marriage prospects," the Grand Elder said solemnly. "Or perhaps you have someone you've chosen, and we'll go with our whole family to welcome them!"
Xize paused for a moment.
He hasn't figured out how to pursue her yet.
Especially after Job told him about the fifth month's hatred of the rich.
Xize pondered for a moment: "Send the invitation to the Luo family in Luonan."
"The Luo family of Luonan?"
The elders looked at each other, clearly none of them had ever heard of this tiny, insignificant family.
"Yes, send it over." Xize said calmly, "Luo Ziqiu, this person must come."
He wouldn't let Fifth Month be bullied either.
**
This way.
Luo Ziqiu returned to Luonan in a daze.
He felt completely drained of energy and spirit, utterly powerless.
Ignoring his injuries, Luo Xiu hurriedly asked, "How did it go? What did Master Ying say?"
"Master Ying said—" Luo Ziqiu gave a bitter smile, "From now on, we will have nothing to do with each other."
He paused for a moment, then added, "She is not only Master Ying, she is also the master of Fifth Young Master."
"ah?!"
Luo Xiu was completely stunned.
It took him a long while to come to his senses, his face gradually turning deathly pale: "It's over! It's really over..."
The Luo family's path in the Xuanmen has come to an end!
Luo Ziqiu opened a bottle of wine, feeling very agitated.
"Ziqiu, this is great news!" Just then, Luo's father burst in, his face full of excitement. "Do you know who just sent us an invitation?!"
Luo Ziqiu had absolutely no interest in it, he just kept drinking, looking annoyed: "Who? I'm not going anyway."
Mr. Lawrence then added, "The Laurent family!"
Luo Ziqiu's expression changed, and the gloom in his eyes vanished. He suddenly stood up: "Dad, what did you say?!"
"It's the Laurent family you're thinking of." Mr. Laurent was extremely excited. "They sent us an invitation, and specifically invited you to attend their seminar."
"Ziqiu, your good day has come! Hurry up and get your things ready. You might just be able to marry a young lady from the Laurent family!"
The Laurent family is the number one family in the world, with immense power.
I heard that he is also backed by an extremely powerful fortune teller.
Its financial resources are unimaginably vast.
How can the Fifth Family be compared to them?
