The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 433 Disdainful of Killing One Person

The phenomenon of the Golden Lotus attaining enlightenment only appears when one comprehends the Great Dao and advances to a higher level, or when one possesses pure and righteous merit. Heaven will send down this phenomenon to bless one's attainment of enlightenment.

Such strange phenomena, such as the appearance of golden lotuses, the floating of purple qi, and the blooming of celestial flowers, exist only in legends. No, the ancestors of the Xuan Clan also recorded them, but those were at least two hundred years ago.

In the past two hundred years, when has there ever been such an extraordinary phenomenon as the Golden Lotus proving enlightenment?
But now, a golden lotus hangs above Lang Jiuchuan's head, shining brightly, clearly visible to everyone. The area in front of the Kaiping Marquis's mansion is quiet as everyone stares in shock at the enormous nine-grade golden lotus.

"A strange phenomenon has appeared in the sky, and the Golden Lotus has proven her Dao. Who dares to say she is evil? She is not a demon at all; she is more righteous than anyone else!" someone in the crowd shouted.

The people of the Marquis of Kaiping's mansion were extremely excited. This was a sure thing. With such an unusual phenomenon, who would dare to speak ill of the Lang family? The young masters in the family who were not yet engaged would probably have matchmakers knocking down the threshold of the Marquis's mansion from now on.

Supported by her maid, Cui stared blankly at Lang Jiuchuan beneath the golden lotus, tears streaming down her face.

The faces of Daoist Zhishang and the others turned pale as they looked at Lang Jiuchuan, who kept his eyes closed as if he knew nothing about the strange phenomenon, with complicated expressions.

They'll never get their faces clean again!

Gong Qi looked at Lang Jiuchuan in astonishment. No way, in such a situation, she could still enter a state of enlightenment and even attract strange phenomena. What exactly did she realize?
When Master Xue and others appeared to protect him, Lang Jiuchuan suddenly realized what the Dao was. He understood that the Dao is determined by the mind of the one who upholds it, and that it can punish evil and protect all living beings. If one does good, one will receive good results; if one does evil, one will receive karmic consequences.

She suddenly smiled.

He opened his eyes, his gaze calm and collected, and looked at Zhi Shang and the others with a disdainful expression: "Now, is there anyone left who wants to punish evil and uphold justice?"

Everyone: "..."

Do you want to see what that golden lotus on your head represents? Who would dare to speak of evil again?
"This is all a misunderstanding..." Master Zhang, who was holding the broken whisk, forced a fawning smile.

Lang Jiuchuan sneered: "Don't bring up misunderstandings anymore. You have slandered my name today, so you have to give me an explanation. What does the Third Prince think?"

She looked at Tantai Cong, who stared blankly as the golden lotus disappeared. When he saw her gaze, he shivered and his lips moved, but he couldn't utter a single word.

No one moved.

Lang Jiuchuan's face, which had become even more beautiful after her enlightenment, turned cold. He really didn't take her seriously!

Master Zhishang took a deep breath, stepped forward, bowed to her in a Taoist salute, and said, "It is indeed my arbitrary judgment that you are a demon without verification, which is unfair. However, I still stand by the divination I made."

She will cause turmoil in Dadan.

"According to you, just because a divination has not yet occurred and the world is not in turmoil, I should commit suicide in front of you?" Lang Jiuchuan asked sarcastically.

Master Zhishang remained silent, knowing that anything he said would be illogical.

But he didn't dare say it, while some people did!

Tantai Cong said, "You should be under the supervision of the royal family, no, the Censorate. If you cause chaos among the people, you shall be executed immediately... Ah!" "You're too kind!" Lang Jiuchuan brandished his copper coin sword at him. The sword was only a foot away from him, not even touching him, but the sword energy still drew two bloody marks on the corner of his mouth!
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Tantai Cong screamed, covering her mouth and looking at Lang Jiuchuan with a mixture of shock and anger. How dare she? His surname is Tantai. Wasn't she afraid that he would deal with the Lang family?
Gong Qi shook his head. "Adding fuel to the fire," he said. "Why did you provoke her? When she goes crazy, she doesn't care about your status."

He rolled his eyes in disdain. This third prince had some talent and had also joined the family to learn Taoist magic. He knew a little bit of simple numerology and thought he was better than his brothers and sisters. With his status as a support, he had always been arrogant. When he was chosen to marry Young Master Rong, he was practically jumping for joy.

But he didn't expect this person to be so stupid. He must have just stumbled upon those numerological skills by chance. It seems that the Tantai family probably sees him as a stud. It remains to be seen whether he can breed a good horse with Young Master Rong!

His disdain was evident in his tone as he said, “Third Prince, the Censorate only handles strange and unsolved cases, and also those who use Taoist arts to harm ordinary people. However, it does not monitor people when they have not committed any crimes. If we monitor people simply because they are Taoists, then all of you should be monitored by the Censorate. I suppose you are unwilling to have your every move under our watchful eyes.”

Of course, no one wants to do that. Who can guarantee that they will never make a mistake?
They say they won't use divination to harm ordinary people, but if they really encounter those evil people who commit crimes against them, they will definitely have to punish them. So, they don't need to let others know, right?

Tantai Cong's face was covered in blood as he said, "She attacked me, were you all blind? Didn't you see it?"

"You spoke rudely, and besides, weren't you the one who led the people to surround the mansion first? As for the injury, could it be that Fellow Daoist Lang fought with you and you were no match for him?" Gong Qi said calmly, "After all, you were injured by sword energy. We saw that the sword didn't even get close to you!"

If you're not as skilled as others, whose fault is it?

Tantai Cong: "!"

Gong Qi, is he only ignoring him because he's from the Gong family?

"You, you all..." He was so angry that his wound tore open even wider, and blood quickly flowed down his clothes. He had no choice but to step aside and let his bodyguard apply medicine, but his resentful eyes were fixed on Lang Jiuchuan.

Gong Qi then looked at Zhi Shang and the others and said, "Since you attacked without verifying the facts, you should indeed apologize to Fellow Daoist Lang. How about we have a magic duel with Fellow Daoist Lang?"

Someone looked at Lang Jiuchuan, who was standing with his hands behind his back, stepped forward, and bowed, saying, "My cultivation is low and my skills are not yet proficient. I apologize for tarnishing Fellow Daoist Lang's reputation."

Everyone else, whether they were willing or not, bowed and apologized. Only Daoist Zhishang remained silent, but he kept looking at Lang Jiuchuan as if trying to see through all her pretenses.

Gong Qi said, "Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, please stop repeating what others say and spreading rumors. We cultivators understand better than anyone the consequences of our words."

"Fellow Daoist Gong is absolutely right." Everyone bowed in shame.

Gong Qi then looked at Lang Jiuchuan and said, "Fellow Daoist Lang, we are all like-minded people. Why don't we just let this matter drop?"

Lang Jiuchuan glanced at him with a half-smile, her aura lessening slightly, but the copper coin sword still hovered beside her, its intimidating presence undiminished.

She coldly swept her gaze across the crowd and said, "Whoever wants to harm me will bear the consequences. Those who want to kill me will be killed by me. This has nothing to do with whether I am evil or not; I am a person who holds grudges and seeks revenge. I will not kill anyone today, not out of fear of you, but out of disdain! But if there is a next time..."

She paused, her gaze sharp as a blade: "Those who are good to me, I will repay with good. Those who are evil to me, I will repay with evil!"
