The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 300 - Chapter 300 Chapter 300 The Three Pure Ones Master

Chapter 300: Chapter 300 The Three Pure Ones Master Chapter 300: Chapter 300 The Three Pure Ones Master Zhong Niangyao’s series of questions caused a trace of panic to rise involuntarily in the hearts of the Zhu family.

They hadn’t felt there was anything amiss at first, but the more they listened to Zhong Niangyao, the more they felt it really was the case. For a moment, they also didn’t know whether what Zhong Niangyao said was true or false.

“I warn you not to spout nonsense here,” Zhu Yu stepped forward, firmly struck the ground with his cane, and then said, “This is the Zhu family, not Tongtian Bridge. It’s not your turn to speak here. Leave immediately, or else I’ll call the police to deal with you.”

“You’re about to lose your life, and you still want to act tough here,” Zhong Niangyao scoffed and mocked, “It’s precisely because you sought someone to suppress those Five Ghosts, now your Zhu family and them are in a state of ‘neither die nor rest.'”

“You first cut off their Path of Reincarnation, and now you’re seeking someone to scatter their souls. Even a clay figure has a third of a temper, let alone they’re ghosts! Initially, as long as you paid all your wealth, perhaps you could have saved the lives of your descendants. Now, these Five Ghosts want your entire Zhu family to be without offspring.”

After this speech, everyone in the Zhu family turned particularly unsightly. However, they all looked at Zhong Niangyao with anger, thinking that Zhong Niangyao was cursing them.

“This is our Zhu family’s affair, and it has nothing to do with you.” Zhu Yu pointed at the door and said harshly, “Even if the people of our Zhu family are wiped out, it won’t be related to you. Leave now.”

The other members of the Zhu family clearly shared this sentiment.

Compared to the young Zhong Niangyao, they believed more in the venerable Master Sanqing. Now, every word from Zhong Niangyao’s mouth seemed to curse their Zhu family; it was already quite generous of them not to chase her away with a broom.

“I don’t care about the lives and deaths of your Zhu family members at all,” Zhong Niangyao said coldly, “It’s just that I can’t let those Five Ghosts become Evil Ghosts and harm the innocent.”

Zhu Yu wanted to say more when he saw Housekeeper Wang leading a group of people in.

He hurried forward and approached the man in the Daoist robe, saying respectfully, “Master Sanqing, you have arrived.”

Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao also turned their heads to look at the newcomer.

The man was a fifty-something year old wearing a yellow Daoist robe, with graying hair and a long graying beard, giving him a celestial appearance. Moreover, one could see that this man was not just for show; he actually had some real power, with a faint aura of righteousness surrounding him.

Master Sanqing had come today to help get rid of the Five Ghosts. Unexpectedly, upon entering the Zhu family home, he encountered Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao.

Upon seeing the two, Master Sanqing immediately became more solemn. He paid no heed to Zhu Yu’s in-laws but stepped forward and respectfully bowed to Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao, “Greetings, esteemed seniors, it is my first time meeting you. I am the junior, Master Sanqing, and have seen you two seniors.”

Being a cultivator himself, he naturally could see that Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao’s cultivation far exceeded his own. Especially Lu Yichen, whom he couldn’t see through at all, could only faintly discern a swirling Purple Energy.

Master Sanqing’s demeanor made Zhu Yu very uncomfortable. Trembling, he began, “Master Sanqing, what do you mean by this? How could you call these two youngsters seniors?”

At this moment, he felt as if he had been slapped in the face. Just moments before, he had been boasting about Master Sanqing. Now, in the blink of an eye, Master Sanqing was referring to these two people as his seniors, wasn’t this slapping his own face?

Master Sanqing, completely unaware of what had just transpired, began to explain, “Old Sir Zhu, you may not know, but in the eyes of us cultivators, age does not exist. Profound in Tao, the worthy are revered. Although these two seniors appear young, their cultivation is far beyond mine.”

After finishing, he showed a hint of shame, “If I had known of these two seniors’ presence, I wouldn’t have bothered to come and make a fool of myself today.”

Zhu Yu’s face turned alternatively green and purple, and his body started shaking, though it was unclear whether it was from fear or guilt.

As for the rest of the Zhu family, they were initially confused by Master Sanqing’s behavior. Now, upon hearing his words, their complexions turned pale and cold sweat began forming on their backs.

Because they remembered what Zhong Niangyao had said earlier, especially about being without offspring. Now it sounded less like a curse and more like a prediction.

Zhong Niangyao looked towards Master Sanqing, frowned, then asked, “Was it you who suppressed those Five Ghosts for them yesterday?”

She really hadn’t expected that the Master Sanqing mentioned by Zhu Yu would be this kind of person.

Originally, she thought he was someone with some skill who liked to bluff and deceive; that’s why he would do such a thing. However, now seeing Master Sanqing’s attitude, she knew he wasn’t that kind of person.

Now she was truly curious, what was Master Sanqing’s reasoning for deciding to suppress the Five Ghosts for the Zhu family!

Hearing Zhong Niangyao’s inquiry, Master Sanqing did not dare to hide anything and replied with utmost respect, “Yes, senior, these Five Ghosts are constantly gnawing away at the Zhu family’s Qi Fortune. If they were not suppressed soon, it’s feared the members of the Zhu family would face more danger than luck. However, my abilities are limited, and after suppressing them yesterday, I had no energy left to eliminate them. That’s why I had agreed to come here today.”

Watching a man so much older than herself showing such respect, Zhong Niangyao did not feel the slightest discomfort. She inquired again, “Why did you choose to help the Zhu family?”

Master Sanqing did not hide anything, candidly stating the reason, “The Zhu family has a Magic Artifact that I have longed for, and Old Sir Zhu has promised that upon completion of the task, he would give it to me.”

After a pause, he continued, “Actually, that Magic Artifact was originally the treasure of our Xuanqing Temple. It was stolen by a petty thief more than a decade ago, and the Zhu family obtained it a few years back. I must retrieve this treasure.”

He didn’t care at all about the monetary reward the Zhu family offered; what mattered to him was that treasure. It was handed to him by his Master when he was appointed as the temple master. Having lost the treasure was already a disgrace to his Master, and now that he had the opportunity to retrieve it, how could he possibly give up!
