“This disciple is not as strong as Master Chu Xiaoyue. With my level of cultivation, I would have been thrown to my death.” Zhu Qun knelt on the ground and bitterly cried. He made himself look as pitiful as possible.
His mouth was full of blood, and he looked utterly miserable. No one had a single doubt about what he’d said.
Chu Xiaoyue had also just been beaten and thrown out of Baoyue Peak by Qian Yan, so everyone believed Zhu Qun’s words.
“She’s gone too far!”
Chu Chengxi was furious. When he heard that Chu Xiaoyue had received a beating from Chu Qianyan, he considered it a squabble between his two children and didn’t get as angry. Children’s squabble could be easily resolved.
However, when he heard that Zhu Qun had been beaten as well, he felt as if his dignity had been ruthlessly trampled upon.
Who in Xuanyue Sect didn’t know that Zhu Qun was one of his people? Beating Zhu Qun was practically the same as beating him.
Yang Fengxiang also didn’t have a pleasant expression on her face. She turned and looked at Chu Chengxi. He was, after all, the one who made the decisions in their family.
“Arrange for two more people to go and fetch her,” Chu Chengxi said with a stern face. “I refuse to believe that she’d dare to beat my people again.”
At this point, Yang Fengxiang interjected. “Old man, how about we go and check on the eldest girl ourselves? She’s been acting strangely today, maybe something happened, and she’s venting her anger on others.”
“Where in the world does a father go to visit his children? Children are supposed to come to visit their parents! How can she be so arrogant? No matter how strong she is, she should always remember that filial piety comes before everything else!”
Chu Chengxi was a father. As such, he felt that if he went to meet his daughter because she had beaten everyone that he sent to fetch her. He felt that doing so would both tarnish his reputation and trample his dignity.
Yang Fengxiang didn’t say anything more. Her husband was a stubborn person who always kept his word, and she didn’t want to get into trouble by rejecting his wishes.
Chu Chengxi had two more people to go to Baoyue Peak. After a while, they also came back with injuries on their bodies.
“After Peak Master Chu heard what we said, she threw us out of Baoyue Peak.”
“She’s gone too far. She’s gone too far!” Chu Chengxi couldn’t sit still anymore. “Let’s go, I want to see what she’s up to. I don’t believe she would dare to throw me out. If she dares, just the reputation of being unfilial would be enough to make her unable to hold her head up in the cultivation world.”
“This time, we must give the eldest girl a lesson. How could she do such a thing? What does she take us for?” Yang Fengxiang was very angry. They had lived for so many years in the cultivation world, and their eldest daughter had always been very obedient to them. Why would she suddenly rebel and defy them repeatedly today?
Chu Chengxi snorted coldly. “Those outsiders probably have poisoned her mind. We both know that she’s soft-hearted. She doesn’t have her own opinion and follows others’; she’ll listen to whatever others say. She dared to even hit her sister, so this is a serious matter. This time, I’ll not only make her realise her mistake. I’ll also drive those outsiders out of Xuanyue gate and teach them a lesson. I’ll see if they’ll ever dare to run their mouths again!”
Yang Fengxiang nodded. “You’re right. Those people are always at odds with Dengyun Peak. They often have violent clashes. If it weren’t for Pingyu, the disciples of Dengyun Peak would probably be constantly bullied.
“Pingyu is the only one that we can rely on. Qianyan used to be reliable too, but as children grow older, they change!”
Chu Xiaoyue followed behind them without saying a word. In truth, she felt like she was about to explode as she listened to them chatter on. However, Chu Xiaoyue knew that she still needed to rely on the two of them. Considering her talent, she could only keep her head down and be quiet so she wouldn’t be ridiculed by others.
To prevent anyone from making fun of her today, she had even put on a veil.
She wouldn’t be content until she saw Chu Qianyan receive consequences for what she did today.
