"Is it that obvious?" Qi Jingyi quickly touched his own face, "Is it really that noticeable?"
Weng Ji nodded vigorously, it was extremely obvious.
"Alright then." Qi Jingyi quickly composed himself, "I’ll just gloat over the disaster in my heart."
Weng Ji had a black line across his forehead.
Qi Jingyi, however, was once again looking ahead with shining eyes.
"Lin Yue’e, Tian Jinhua, stop talking nonsense here. Have you already forgotten your place from the last beating..." Wang Hehua said with disgust as she glanced at Lin Yue’e and Tian Jinhua, "Slinging mud at others will bring divine retribution..."
"What mud-slinging?" Lin Yue’e snorted with contempt, "If she hadn’t done it, would her grandmother say so? That Yang Dani used to follow Guan Qingshu around all the time, being all lovey-dovey, just short of taking her pants off and hopping into bed. Yet, he didn’t fancy her, so now she’s hooked up with the second young master of the Gu Family, alas, quite the eye for opportunity, eh? Just take off your pants, and more than a dozen silver taels are in hand, way more than what the brothel sisters in town make... Ah..." Before she finished, her face received a strong slap.
Tian Jinhua, standing next to her, wasn’t spared either, as half of her face swelled at a visibly fast rate.
The onlookers only saw a shadow flash by, but couldn’t see who did the slapping.
"Who hit me?" Lin Yue’e spun around on the spot after being hit, then looked around with her hand on her face in shock, but sadly, no one answered her.
Tian Jinhua also wore a face of shock, having been hit without knowing by whom.
The crowd that had surrounded them also made way one after another.
Gu Qingheng sat back in his wheelchair, his handsome face devoid of any expression, but he took out a handkerchief and wiped his right hand.
From a distance, Qi Jingyi’s eyes suddenly sparkled with admiration. How much time has passed? This guy’s martial arts skills had almost fully recovered, truly a monster.
Sanni had previously sneaked over to eavesdrop, and hurried back to tell Yang Ruxin. The young lady had grown as well, refraining from rushing in and arguing with the elders of the Yang Family.
Yang Ruxin immediately guessed the intention of the other party, but chose not to show herself. To tell the truth, she wouldn’t find it strange, whatever shenanigans the Yang Family pulled. She thought the matter was settled with the Gu Family sending people away, but she didn’t expect the Yang Family to be so shameless. Thus, it wasn’t feasible for her not to intervene, and she stepped out with a spatula in hand.
"Big sister, how could they... how could they say such things?" Erni’s face was filled with discomfort.
"There’s nothing they wouldn’t do," Yang Ruxin said indifferently, not the least bit angry, comforting the few who were quite upset, "It’s not surprising at all."
"Big sister, I’m going to chop them," Sanni said, her eyes red as she reached for the kitchen knife.
"Chop what?" Yang Ruxin gave Sanni a look, "What if you dirty your hands? Stay put." She then stepped out of the courtyard with her spatula, just in time to see Gu Qingheng striking someone. Her eyes lit up, and she couldn’t help but smile, "Lin Yue’e, someone like you who never learns her lesson probably got so bad that even the heavens couldn’t stand it, and sent a fairy to smack you." That guy moved too fast; probably no one saw him strike. It seems that this is what a true master is like.
All eyes turned towards her as everyone had been speculating whether the main branch of the Yang Family had anyone home because no one had come out. Seeing her emerge, they instinctively cleared a path for her.
After all, Yang Ruxin had made a name for herself with a previous fight.
