Chapter 351: Chapter 203 Ah

"Tsk~"

A sneer broke the silence.

The one who sneered was Zhang Lanlan from the Yin Yang Sect.

After sneering, seeming to feel that her action was somewhat improper, she slowly picked up her exquisite teacup and took a sip of the fragrant tea, her poise tranquil, attempting to cover her earlier loss of composure with a graceful gesture.

However, the disdain in her eyes didn’t fade much.

Ran Qingchen’s eyebrows furrowed, and her gaze toward Zhang Lanlan carried a hint of coldness.

Fang Maoshan coughed and said, "Zi Heng is in closed-door cultivation; may I ask what young master Jiang needs with him?"

"Cultivation? When will he be out?" Jiang Shouzhong frowned.

Fang Maoshan shook his head, smiling, "I cannot give a precise date. Three months ago, my son seemed to have gained some opportunity and decided to engage in closed-door cultivation; when he will come out depends on whether he can attain enlightenment."

Jiang Shouzhong was displeased.

He hadn’t expected this boy to be in closed-door cultivation.

But since he had come, whether you’re in cultivation or not, you still have to settle the debt of gratitude and grievance first.

Jiang Shouzhong said indifferently, "Fang, three months ago, Fang Ziheng had some conflicts with me in the Capital. At that time, I had not yet practiced cultivation, and your Famous Sword Villa’s third young master abused his power, almost crippling me...Today, I have come for an explanation."

Upon hearing this, the crowd was taken aback, with varied expressions.

Unexpectedly, someone had come to Famous Sword Villa seeking revenge, which displeased Fang Maoshan, though he still maintained a polite smile and said, "Young master Jiang, there might be some misunderstanding in this matter. I know a thing or two about that boy’s character as his father."

"Exactly, the third young master of the Fang Family is recognized in Jianghu as a gentleman. How could he possibly behave in such a bullying manner..."

Yang Zhongyou, who already harbored resentment toward Jiang Shouzhong, raised his voice.

However, seeing Ran Qingchen’s cold gaze, Yang Zhongyou shrank his neck and dared not continue.

Ran Qingchen’s face was incredibly grim at this point.

She had never heard Jiang Shouzhong mention this incident before, but she believed her husband; with Jiang Mo’s character, he wouldn’t fabricate such things for no reason.

Ran Qingchen coldly said, "Fang, call out Fang Ziheng!"

"This..."

Fang Maoshan’s countenance turned uneasy.

Forcing someone out of closed-door cultivation would ruin his cultivation.

Then, Zhang Lanlan from the Yin Yang Sect let out a coquettish laugh, her voice gentle: "Young master Jiang, Fang’s third young master’s character is witnessed by all. As for you... although your reputation is intimidating, who knows what your character is like? You say that the third young master insulted you, but do you have any evidence? Any witnesses?"

Jiang Shouzhong didn’t conceal and narrated the whole incident carefully, saying to Zhang Lanlan:

"I wonder if you trust Senior Yan’s character? Of course, you could say I’m unable to confront Senior Yan directly and just making it up. But why Fang Ziheng went into cultivation, I believe someone in the Fang Family surely knows, possibly gained a hint from Senior Yan."

As Jiang Shouzhong’s words ended, the hall fell silent.

Bringing up Yan Changqing was enough to attest to the truth of the matter.

Yang Zhongyou, who had been protesting earlier, quietly shrunk into his chair, pretending to be an ostrich.

However, Zhang Lanlan clearly felt she could not lose face, and stubbornly retorted, "Listening to your account, the third young master of the Fang Family apologized later, which means the issue was resolved. Yet you still come here seeking justice, are you not afraid people will see you as narrow-minded and petty?"

Jiang Shouzhong laughed out loud upon hearing this.

Alright, alright, alright, playing the moral card, huh?

Sure enough, no good comes from these people of the Yin Yang Sect.

The Danxia Peak female disciple, who was rather pleasing to look at, spoke with knitted brows in a soft voice:

"Miss Zhang, you shouldn’t put it that way. Regardless, it was wrong for the third young master to bully someone who hasn’t cultivated without any reason. And that he was willing to apologize was because of the influence from the Sword Demon; it’s understandable that young master Jiang is upset."

Finally, someone reasonable... Jiang Shouzhong gave the girl a friendly smile, then turned his head to Zhang Lanlan and spat out two words, "Bitch!"

"What did you say!?"

Zhang Lanlan’s eyebrows shot up, her killing intent surging.

Ran Qingchen stood in front of Jiang Shouzhong, her beautiful eyes coldly fixed on the opponent, "What? You want to fight?"

"My apologies, Miss Zhang,"

Jiang Shouzhong said teasingly with a smile, "I’ve apologized now, and if you keep holding a grudge against me, then you are indeed petty and narrow-minded."

Zhang Lanlan’s face turned red, words of anger stuck in her throat.

This was shooting herself in the foot.

No one present expected things to escalate this way, and Murong Nan cleared his throat, attempting to mediate:

"Let’s all calm down a bit. The dispute between young master Jiang and the third young master of the Fang Family, right or wrong, let’s not discuss it now. As the third young master is in cultivation, it’s really not appropriate to disturb him now.

You coming here at this time looking for trouble does seem a bit petty and small-minded. I suggest we wait for the third young master to come out of cultivation before discussing this matter. Today, after all, we should focus on more important matters..."

"What are you!"

Before he could finish talking, Ran Qingchen glared at him with disgust, "Paying debts and settling scores is right and proper. If Fang Ziheng had the audacity to bully others by leveraging his power, he should bear the consequences!"

In Ran Qingchen’s heart, even if she hadn’t been able to build a relationship with Jiang Mo, as a wife, she still needed to stand up for her husband.

Such was her character, and even if she attained the ’Love-void’ state, it wouldn’t change.

Originally, Murong Nan thought that with the reputation of the Murong Family and his status from the Capital, he could manage the situation, but the first to retort was Ran Qingchen.
