Zhiwei looked at her junior sister’s injuries with concern, her eyes slightly cold. She rarely ever hit Qing Jun...
"Ugh... that guy is no match for me!"
Qing Jun protested indignantly, glaring resentfully at the woman.
Clearly, she had Zhang Chuxi pinned to the ground, spanking her, without any power to fight back, even forcing her to call her ’mother’!
Yet, the villain acted so dishonorably, directly attacking her...
But as much as she thought this, she held back from saying it out loud.
If the master found out, it would definitely blow up the situation.
The instructor from Baopu Peak stepped forward, looking somewhat awkward, and repeated once again, "Guardian Chen, the events did indeed transpire as the transmission talisman described. The two refused to yield to each other, and after a brief verbal conflict, they started fighting. Xu Qingjun... uh, having a strong physique, Zhang Chuxi unfortunately suffered a defeat and was a bit startled and bruised."
"Nonsense!"
Qing Jun could no longer hold back, angrily refuting,
"It’s clearly her who was unreasonable! That herb was spotted by me first! I was about to pick it and she claimed she saw it first, even sent a small wind blade butterfly to knock my hand away! That’s why I taught her a lesson!"
"You... you’re lying!"
With Qing Jun’s accusation, a hint of guilt flashed in Zhang Chuxi’s eyes, and she shrank into the woman’s arms,
"Aunt Lan! She’s lying! She stole my spiritual medicine and ambushed me! Sob sob sob..."
The woman referred to as Aunt Lan’s face grew colder, her gaze towards Qing Jun icy, before turning to Chen Ye, her voice freezing:
"Guardian Chen, is this the kind of good disciple you’ve taught? Stealing another’s spiritual medicine and distorting the truth publicly! Moreover, it’s certain that Chuxi saw it first, and was subsequently ambushed by this wild girl. If not for the ambush, how could this wild girl be a match for Chuxi?"
Zhang Chuxi nodded in agreement.
If it weren’t for Xu Qingjun’s enormous strength catching her off guard, how could she possibly overpower her?
Even... even pinning her to the ground and spanking her...
The girl immediately glared at Qing Jun in humiliation and anger, but unexpectedly, Qing Jun completely ignored her and was smilingly looking at her own master.
She was ignoring her!
Zhang Chuxi was even more furious, thinking of telling her mother so this family couldn’t survive in the sect! At this thought, she glanced at Qing Jun’s master again.
Hmm??
Aunt Lan immediately felt Chuxi shrink further into her embrace, her gaze lowered, seeing the little girl’s face red, assuming it was just from anger.
Chen Ye’s eyes turned cold, anger welling up inside.
Calling his disciple a wild girl?
Except...
Behind these two was the Fourth Elder, and he wasn’t about to assume Aunt Lan would speak reasonably to him—in the Cultivation Realm, reasoning isn’t as strong as fists.
Chen Ye paused for a moment, "Instructor Zhang, besides the two, were there any other disciples present to witness? Is their account consistent? And what about the so-called wind blade butterfly, what kind of magic is it? Is there any trace left?"
The instructor was momentarily taken aback by Chen Ye’s questioning and hesitantly said, "This... there were indeed a few disciples nearby at the time, but the event happened so suddenly, and they were quite far away, so they didn’t see clearly. As for the wind blade, it should be the First Tier wind-type spell—Butterfly Blade Shadow, not very powerful, meant to disrupt or intimidate. However, in this place where misty spiritual power is mixed, the traces of magic dissipate quickly, and it’s currently difficult to verify..."
Chen Ye understood clearly.
This instructor clearly didn’t want to offend either side, his description vague and ambiguous.
"..."
Qing Jun hesitated for a moment, tugging at her master’s sleeve, and whispered,
"Master, let’s just drop it. Qing Jun will apologize to her."
This space was not large, and Zhang Chuxi heard it loud and clear, immediately lifting her chin proudly: "I want you to kneel and apologize to me!"
"Ugh..."
The little girl immediately frowned, kneeling to apologize, impossible!
But if it was for her master, was it possible?
Knowing this, she wouldn’t have retaliated back then.
Aunt Lan patted Zhang Chuxi’s head calmly, saying: "Kneeling to apologize is naturally unnecessary. Xu Qingjun, after all, is a member of the Xu Family. For the sake of Peak Master Xu, as the master, you can apologize to Zhang Chuxi on her behalf."
She had heard Xu Qingjun was Mao Qingzhu’s illegitimate child, only recently taken back by the Xu Family.
Reportedly gifted, Xu Henshan intended to cultivate her, presumably not giving her much importance, as she was merely a gifted girl.
But to avoid any risks, she decided to provoke no further, not wishing to offend Xu Henshan. However, she still had to avenge Chuxi...
Zhang Chuxi blinked, glanced at Chen Ye, and muttered: "It’s not impossible, after all, I’m too lazy to argue with a silly girl."
Hearing this, the little girl was instantly anxious as if smoke was coming out of her head.
Chen Ye chuckled slightly, "Wait, this matter is not yet settled, Taoist Friend Lan, please be patient."
Aunt Lan’s expression slightly cooled: "You still want to quibble?"
If it weren’t for Xu Henshan’s sake, would she let this person continue with such troublemaking?
Chen Ye shook his head, "No no no, didn’t Taoist Friend Lan say it was Zhang Chuxi who saw it first, and then Qing Jun secretly ambushed her? Only by the advantage of ambush did she manage to defeat Zhang Chuxi?"
Aunt Lan was slightly taken aback, looking down at Zhang Chuxi.
Zhang Chuxi snorted: "If not for that, she couldn’t possibly be a match for me!"
She thought to herself: Although it wasn’t an ambush, it’s close enough! Who knew that girl had such great strength... catching me off guard!
Seeing Zhang Chuxi admit this, Aunt Lan didn’t doubt further, "Exactly, Chuxi possesses a Wall Dormant Spiritual Body. In the past, she once fought an opponent in the Seventh-Layer of Qi Refining without losing. How could she possibly be beaten down by Xu Qingjun without a chance to fight back? Even forced to call her..."
The little girl was extremely embarrassed, her sharp face blushing red, hurriedly glanced at Chen Ye, anxiously tugging Aunt Lan’s sleeve: "Aunt Lan, stop saying, it’s not like that... I just didn’t want to hurt her."
Chen Ye suppressed his anger; huh, this Zhang Chuxi was arrogant indeed!
