I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 196 The lion opens its mouth

Not long after, An Ruchen and Zhu Wenying arrived one after the other.

The two paused as they entered the main hall, because the little girl sitting cross-legged in the very center was simply too eye-catching.

An Ruchen, puzzled, asked with a smile, "Xiao Qi, what are you doing sitting on the ground?"

Meng Qi stared at him with her dark eyes, "Then you'll have to ask your good niece, Uncle-Master, and also Elder Zhu's niece. If you don't give me a satisfactory answer today, I won't get up."

Let her cheat if she wants; she's still a child, it's not shameful.

An Ruchen's smiling face froze. He turned to look at Ji Huaien and asked, "What did An Suran do?"

Zhu Wenying glanced at Xiao Qi on the ground, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes. So ill-mannered.

She said calmly, "Junior nephew, don't talk nonsense. You've only been in the sect for a little over a month. My Xiu'e hasn't even met you yet, so how could she have offended you? Besides, everyone in the sect knows that Xiu'e is gentle, generous, and kind-hearted. Even if something happens, she won't hold a grudge against a child like you."

In other words, if something goes wrong, it's your fault, not her niece's.

Meng Qi rolled her eyes. "Yes, yes, yes, your niece is the best. Your niece is the most sensible, the most generous, and the most manipulative. She's perfect in every way, even her farts smell good, okay?"

"you"

Zhu Wenying flew into a rage, and a Nascent Soul-level pressure swept over Xiao Qi.

An Ruchen, who was closest, flashed in front of Xiao Qi and swept away the oppressive aura with his sleeve. He said unhappily, "The matter is not yet cleared up. Why does Elder Zhu have to harm a child?"

A voice said softly, "That's because my master isn't here, so I can bully him without any restraint."

Yu Qingfeng's eyelids twitched. Why are they here again?
He looked at Meng Qi with a headache, not understanding why he initially thought this child was both well-behaved and sensible. What did she have to do with those two words?

However, Zhu Wenying did indeed go too far.

"Has Elder Zhu heard any rumors circulating outside?"

Hearing the sect leader's question, Zhu Wenying's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't believe that this matter had anything to do with their Xiu'e.

how can that be possible.

Therefore, feigning composure, she asked, pretending to be puzzled, "What does the Sect Master mean?"

"Rumors about Qingge and Xiaoqi."

Zhu Wenying wanted to say she didn't know, but she was worried that it might really be related to Xiu'e, which would be difficult to handle.

Therefore, he said, "Since the sect leader has said it's a rumor, it's not credible. Besides, our sect's disciples are always diligent in their cultivation. They just listen to a few casual words and then forget about them. It has nothing to do with them, so who would take it to heart?"

This means that only bored people take rumors seriously.

Meng Qi couldn't help but chuckle, and Qin Yu also chuckled, but was kicked by Ji Huaien.

"I heard that Elder Zhu has a fondness for seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys, and even specially built a courtyard outside the sect to keep them as his mistresses."

"presumptuous!"

Zhu Wenying was furious. She wanted to slap Meng Qi to death, but An Ruchen stood in front of her, and Ji Huaien protected her behind her, preventing her from doing anything. Moreover, she couldn't move in front of the sect leader.

He turned to Yu Qingfeng, his face grim, and said in a low voice, "Sect Master, are you just going to let this girl spout nonsense and make up stories about me?"

Before Yu Qingfeng could speak, An Ruchen said with a mocking expression, "Didn't Elder Zhu just say that rumors didn't matter? Why are you so angry now? That shouldn't be the case. I thought you wouldn't take it to heart. Or is it that what Junior Nephew said just now was true and not a rumor?"

"you"

Zhu Wenying stared at An Ruchen in shock, unable to understand how he could say such a thing. Was this something he should say? Didn't he know what kind of person she was?

Meng Qi glanced at An Ruchen in surprise. Hey, she was starting to like this martial uncle.

She was wrong. She shouldn't have taken her anger out on her martial uncle because of An Suran. She had been a little annoyed with him just now, but that was gone now.

Yu Qingfeng, who was initially feeling a bit annoyed, was no longer angry after Meng Qi's antics.

"Elder Zhu, as the saying goes, 'If it doesn't concern you, don't worry about it,' but when it comes to your own reputation, aren't you getting anxious?" His gaze towards Zhu Wenying was somewhat cold. "Although Qingge is no longer in the sect, her contribution to the battle between the Jade Void Sect and the Wuji Sect over a decade ago is recorded in the history of the Jade Void Sect. She has sacrificed a great deal for the sect; shouldn't every disciple respect and remember her?"

Not only must we remember this, but we must also refrain from speaking ill of her.

Although the Jade Void Sect suffered heavy casualties at the beginning due to Luo Jingyao's betrayal, Yu Qingge managed to turn the tide in the end by killing several powerful members of the Wuji Sect and severely injuring the sect leader. Although he did not die, he was practically a cripple.

As a result, the Wuji Sect has kept a low profile for the past ten years or so, and can no longer be arrogant.

Unlike before, when they would frequently harass the Jade Void Sect and even launch surprise attacks on and besiege the sect's disciples who were out training.

Perhaps because of these thoughts, Zhu Wenying couldn't help but shiver. She said in a trembling voice, "Sect Master, please forgive me. I misunderstood."

Finally, An Suran and Zhu Xiue were summoned. When Zhu Wenying learned that the rumors originated from the two of them, and that Zhu Xiue was the one in charge, her face turned pale and then red, looking extremely unpleasant.

"Sect Master, Aunt, this disciple...this disciple had no intention of spreading rumors about Daoist Qingluan. This disciple only said that Junior Sister Meng's amazing talent is quite similar to Daoist Qingluan's when he was young. Junior Sister An, however, misheard it as Junior Sister Meng looking like Daoist Qingluan, and then she told Junior Sister Lin, who in turn told Junior Brother Wang. Eventually, the rumor spread and somehow it became that Junior Sister Meng is Daoist Qingluan's illegitimate daughter. But this was not something this disciple spread; this disciple has never said such absurd things."

Zhu Xiu'e defended herself, her eyes brimming with tears, appearing very aggrieved.

An Suran immediately became agitated upon hearing this, "Nonsense! You clearly said that Junior Sister Meng and Daoist Qingluan look alike, and even said that their eyes are exactly the same!"

"Junior Sister An, I was referring to similar talent. As for appearance, don't all good-looking people look alike? That doesn't prove anything."

Seeing the two about to fight like dogs, Meng Qi sneered, "You're already in your teens or even a hundred years old, what are you pretending for? You have the guts to do it but not the guts to bear the consequences? Cultivating immortality and achieving the Great Dao, people like you, if you could achieve the Great Dao, it would be a miracle if the heavens were blind."

Boom!

Whether it was in opposition to her words or not, a thunderclap suddenly struck out of nowhere, right above the main hall, shaking the entire hall and startling everyone inside.

Yu Qingfeng glared at Xiao Qi, "Stop talking nonsense."

Xiao Qi was dumbfounded. Holy crap, the heavens here are really alive!
She dared not say anything more, but this matter was not over.

“Besides accepting my challenge and coming to the arena with me tomorrow, you two will each have to compensate me with five million spirit stones.”

Since she was broke, Xiao Qi decided to ask for an exorbitant amount.

Today is Xiaoqi's birthday! Everyone, please vote for Xiaoqi!
