Chapter 923: Changing the Story from Black to White
“Yue Pingjian, when did they elect you to take charge of the Flowing Clouds Sect’s affairs?” Yan Rusong snarled challengingly, directly questioning his authority. He could sense that Yue Pingjian was obviously targeting the Golden Pill Sect, but it seemed to be their first encounter, so why was he holding a grudge?
“Yan Rusong, is my name something you can use? Don’t think that if you join the Law Enforcement Hall, you can be ignorant of seniority. Today I will teach you a lesson on your master’s behalf,” Yue Pingjian hissed and stepped forward to make a move. When he did this, he exposed Wei Zhixuan who was hiding behind him.
As soon as she saw Wei Zhixuan, Ling Chuxi understood everything. No wonder Yue Pingjian had shown this kind of att.i.tude, he was acquainted with Wei Zhixuan! This meant that he wanted to vent his anger on Wei Zhixuan’s behalf, and deliberately made things difficult for her. It seemed that she had been too soft-hearted last time; she should have beaten him until he was bedridden, then there won’t be such troubles today.
“Stop!” Ling Chuxi shouted. Now knowing that this mess was because of her and had nothing to do with Yan Rusong, she was naturally unwilling to involve him.
“What’s wrong, Sect Master Ling? Do you want to interfere with my Flowing Clouds Sect’s private affairs?” Yue Pingjian sneered sarcastically.
“Mister Yue, let’s be direct. You actually want to stand up for Wei Zhixuan, right?” Ling Chuxi asked straightforwardly. Everyone knew what was going on, so why bother hiding it? Although Ling Chuxi couldn’t stand looking at Yue Pingjian’s face, she didn’t want to create trouble as soon as she arrived in the Flowing Clouds Sect. Besides, maybe he didn’t know the truth at all and was deceived by Wei Zhixuan. Therefore, she still politely called him Mister Yue.
Ling Chuxi didn’t know that to Yue Pingjian, the truth of the matter was not important at all. He had taken a fancy towards the Golden Pill Sect’s crystal mine and just wanted to get both wealth and beauty. Wei Zhixuan’s matter was just an excuse to take action.
If Ling Chuxi were to find out the nasty thoughts in Yue Pingjian’s heart, she would not have been so polite.
“Since Sect Master Ling said so, I will also make it clear. The Wei family is our Yue’s family in-laws. Your Golden Pill Sect bullied the weak, and right after returning to the Sacred Realm of Sects, you seized other people’s properties. I was thinking of letting you guys off the hook, but since it has come to this point, I shall seek justice for the Wei family,” Yue Pingjian said coldly. This matter had to be settled sooner or later, so a little earlier was fine.
“Forcibly s.n.a.t.c.hed away other people’s property? Who did you hear this from?” Ling Chuxi frowned in confusion.
“Isn’t it true? Was it a fake agreement that you guys had forced Wei Zhixuan to sign?” Yue Pingjian asked mockingly.
“The agreement is true, but who told you that we forced Wei Zhixuan to sign it? He was the one he who took a gamble and signed the agreement himself. During the compet.i.tion, his skills were not comparable to others, but he signed it voluntarily.” Lan Xinyu listened to him change the story from black to white, and couldn’t help but say contemptuously.
“What a joke! The Wei family has had the family business for hundreds of years, and is the largest sect in Wu Cang City, but it was all lost to you in a single battle? Who would believe that?” Yue Pingjian scoffed disdainfully.
“Hmph, there is nothing to not believe. He was greedy for the Golden Pill Sect’s mine and wanted to extort it under false pretenses, so he made the bet himself. Since his skills were lacking, he was defeated. If you don’t believe me, just ask him yourself,” Lan Xinyu pointed at Wei Zhixuan and scoffed.
