Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Xuandu Jade Stone Conference (2)

An Yiqing smiled while listening to Zhang Yusheng’s ramblings and gently replied, "Brother Yusheng, be assured. The Gu Family won’t be that petty. Moreover, Qiu Yiping has always taken a relatively neutral stance, wisely taking care of himself. He’s not stupid. However, I think from now on, he might lean more towards the Gu Family."

"That’s true! You saved his life and mended his marriage. If Qiu Yiping is a wise man, he would naturally know how to repay the favor." Zhang Yusheng nodded in agreement, quite approvingly.

"I trust my judgment. For those who cross the bridge and then destroy it behind them, I have plenty of ways to deal with them." An Yiqing’s lips curled into a smile, a confident, dazzling light blooming in her eyes.

This scene was just witnessed by the three individuals of the Guh Siqing group. Six eyes flashed with different emotions, be it disdain, jealousy, or amazement.

Upon seeing An Yiqing’s radiant smile, Guh Ruoyao couldn’t help but snort disdainfully, "Hmph! A vixen! Always seducing people wherever she goes!"

Guh Ruoyao’s remark was loud enough for all the surrounding people engaged in conversation to be drawn to look over. Seeing An Yiqing being sized up by people around her, Zhang Yusheng felt extremely angered.

"Miss! Let me teach her a lesson!" Zhang Yusheng glared furiously with round, angry eyes at Guh Ruoyao.

Seeing this, An Yiqing smiled slightly and said in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear, "Brother Yusheng, what would you do if someone hit you?"

Zhang Yusheng was startled, although unsure of her intent, he still cooperatively replied, "If someone hit me, of course I would hit back. We at Yuyuanzhai never harm others, but we are never cowards."

Zhang Yusheng’s remarks resounded with confidence and righteousness, winning the admiration of the crowd.

"Very good!" An Yiqing nodded and continued to ask, "Then what would you do if a dog bit you?"

"Err..." Zhang Yusheng choked on the question, thought for a moment, and said, "Then I’d go get a shot... I can’t bite the dog back..."

Upon hearing this, everyone chuckled, vaguely understanding the purpose behind the girl’s words, and couldn’t help but admire such an intelligent woman.

"That’s right!" An Yiqing smiled faintly, with pointed meaning looked at Guh Ruoyao and said, "As for beasts that can’t speak human language, why should we bother to be so petty? If a dog bites you, you can’t bite back. But if that dog becomes more aggressive, it deserves to be put down!"

The girl’s last sentence contained a hint of Inner Breath that shocked everyone present. Her cold, indifferent gaze also sent shivers down Guh Ruoyao’s spine, causing her to instinctively shrink back behind Guh Siqing.

"Sister Siqing..." Guh Ruoyao hid behind Guh Siqing, lips quivering, her face pale with reluctant defiance.

A flicker of scorn crossed Guh Siqing’s eyes, mentally cursing her for being foolish, but her expression remained unchanged. She raised her chin and coldly questioned, "Miss An, by treating Xiaoyao this way, do you not take the Guh Family into consideration?"

Guh Siqing’s words caused the crowd to gasp. It turned out these individuals were from the Xuandu City Guh Family! That was one of the Ancient Martial Arts Families; they could crush someone with a mere flick of their finger! The crowd looked at An Yiqing with pity in their eyes, inwardly lamenting the fate of such a fair young lady.

An Yiqing, seeing the sympathetic glances from the crowd, couldn’t help but laugh internally. She was about to retort when a voice came from the entrance.

"My daughter of the Xuandu City An Family is admired like stars around the moon; why would she ever need to act according to others’ whims?" Stepping in, An Zhihang inserted one hand into his suit pants pocket, step by step, he moved beside An Yiqing. His icy gaze, through gold-rimmed glasses, tightly wrapped around Guh Siqing like a venomous snake.
