The middle-aged woman next to Yue Qingjie was his first wife, Madam Zou. When she was young, she was famous for being a shrew. She mellowed down a little as she grew older, but once she started to act up, even the Elders ran to hide.
Yan Rusong didn’t expect them to appear now. He just hoped things wouldn’t become too chaotic. Fortunately, Elder He was there. Elder He was the youngest of the five Elders of the Flowing Clouds Sect. He was usually humble, seemingly gentle, but also fair and honest. As long as Yan Rusong told the truth, they would not trouble Ling Chuxi and the others. However, in this way, he would also completely offend the Yue family, and his life would be difficult in the future.
Thinking of this, Yan Rusong hesitated a little, but soon became confident again. Ling Chuxi had been a life-saving grace to him, and this whole thing was originally Yue Pingjian’s fault. If he couldn’t seek the truth from facts, how could he live with himself? Forget it—even if he was driven out of Flowing Clouds Sect by the Yue family because of this, he would accept his fate. Firm in his decision, Yan Rusong calmed down.
“Rusong, what’s going on? Who are these people?” Yue Qingjie looked around and asked, looking bewildered.
“Martial Uncle Yue, these are the disciples of the Golden Pill Sect. This is Sect Master Ling and Elder Su, they came to visit Lord Sect Master.” Yan Rusong was secretly surprised. Why wasn’t Yue Qingjie angry? His son had been beaten so badly… how was he this calm?
It is said that the older a person gets, the more tolerant they become, but they would also be more powerful when they attack. Yan Rusong thought about this and felt more anxious. He quietly gave Ling Chuxi and the rest a look to remind them to be careful.
“Sect Master Ling, Elder Su, this is Martial Uncle Yue who I told you about on the way here. This is Martial Uncle Yue’s wife and this is Elder He.” Yan Rushong blinked nervously as he introduced them
“So this is Mister Yue. I am Su Yizhi from the Golden Pill Sect. I’ve heard a lot about Mister’s great name. This time—” Su Yizhi spoke politely to Yue Qingjie. Although Yue Pingjian was despicable, it was a separate matter. Yue Qingjie didn’t stand up for his son as soon as he appeared, so Su Yizhi didn’t think too badly of him
“Since your Golden Pill Sect came to visit Lord Sect Master, why did you cause trouble here?” Yue Qingjie impolitely interrupted Su Yizhi. ‘Hmph, since you came to the Flowing Clouds Sect, you should know that tomorrow’s my double celebration day. You didn’t know to give gifts first, but instead fought and made trouble. It’s clear that you didn’t pay attention to me, Yue Qingjie, so I don’t have to respect you.’
If Su Yizhi knew what Yue Qingjie was thinking, he would claim to be innocent. In fact, the gifts had already been prepared. If his son didn’t cause trouble, they would have been sent to him earlier. As for fighting and causing trouble, it was his precious son’s bullying and conspiracy theories that started everything. He deserved to be beaten.
Although Su Yizhi had a good temper, he was not a pedantic person. He knew that it was impossible to shake hands and agree with him, so he didn’t bother to explain too much to him.
“Martial Uncle Yue, this is actually a misunderstanding. Sect Master Ling and them were just sparring, and she went a little harder on him. It was not intentional,” Yan Rusong hurriedly explained on Ling Chuxi’s behalf.
