68 Who Do You Think You Are?
Over the years, he had gotten used to the rumors and evil words that had been placed on him.
He felt that there was no need to explain and could not be bothered to.
But now, he instinctively opened his mouth to refute Wen Xueyun’s words. “I remember that we’re not familiar with each other, so what does it have to do with you who I like? What does it have to do with you whether I have children or not? Why should I explain to you? Who do you think you are?”
With that, he carried the little packrat and turned around, wanting to continue taking the spiritual root from Yun Qingqing.
Yun Qingqing felt a chill run down her spine. She hid behind Wen Xueyun and asked for help. “Fairy Xueyun, please save me. They want to dig out my spiritual root.”
“Dig out your spiritual root?”
Wen Xueyun did not know what had happened here previously and thought that they had just had a conflict.
“That’s right. The Ghost King was bewitched by this vicious woman and wanted to dig out my heaven-level spiritual root to plant on this woman. I was unwilling, so they insisted on snatching it.”
Yun Qingqing quickly explained her situation.
Wen Xueyun frowned and said coldly, “Don’t be afraid. I’ll definitely take care of this matter. This is the sect meeting. I won’t allow such a dirty and despicable thing like digging other people’s spiritual roots to happen!”
When Feng Chen saw this situation, he knew that something was wrong.
Wen Xueyun was much harder to deal with than Mo Jinyu. Moreover, Ah Yuan had not recovered from his injuries because of Sweetcake.
The others did not know, but he, the doctor who had treated Mo Beiyuan’s injuries, knew very well. If Mo Beiyuan really wanted to fight Wen Xueyun, he might not be able to escape unscathed.
At this moment, the sect masters and elders of the major sects rushed over after hearing the news.
When they heard about the spirit root digging, they all condemned Mo Beiyuan.
“Ghost King, although you’re not from our various large sects, you know the rules of the five countries. Digging spiritual roots is no different from digging up someone’s ancestral grave. That’s the most despicable behavior.”
“That’s right. The Five Nations have always forbidden such despicable digging of spiritual roots. You can’t bully people with low cultivation just because you have a high cultivation level. That’s wrong.”
“We hope that you will stop this wrong behavior, Ghost King. Otherwise, even if we old bones risk our lives, we will definitely stop you.”
Feng Chen glanced at their identities. They were either sect masters or sect elders. Their individual cultivation levels were indeed not as strong as Mo Beiyuan’s, but if the few of them attacked together, the situation might not be the same.
“Ah Yuan…”
Feng Chen did not say anything and only shook his head at Mo Beiyuan.
He gestured for him not to be rash in helping Yun Ran retrieve her spiritual root. They could think about it at length.
Yun Ran was not stupid. This group of people clearly had high status and cultivation. Mo Beiyuan would probably be at a disadvantage against such a group of people. Otherwise, Feng Chen would not have stopped them.
She wanted to get her spiritual root back as soon as possible, but there was no need for Mo Beiyuan to fight everyone for her.
Yun Ran stood up and faced the group of sect masters and elders without any intention of cowering.
Her voice was beautiful, but it carried an aura.
“I have no objections if you want to uphold justice, but shouldn’t you figure out the cause and effect? For example, why didn’t we dig out someone else’s spiritual root and only wanted Yun Qingqing’s?”
Those sect masters and elders were not young anymore. It did not look good to be questioned by a young lady.
One of them followed Yun Ran’s words and asked, “Then tell me why?”
