Chapter 785 784: Jiang Wei's Fury! With Xiao Feng Here, Jiang Qingyao Won't Be Harmed?

Jiang Mansion.

The study.

"Patriarch, a Celestial Tribulation phenomenon has appeared north of the city."

A subordinate was reporting to Jiang Wei, his head bowed.

"It seems to be a Celestial Tribulation for ascending from the Divinity Transformation Realm to the Void Refinement Realm."

"The power of this Celestial Tribulation is a bit greater than a normal one for ascending to the Void Refinement Realm."

"It's just that the one undergoing the tribulation... seems to be..."

Before the subordinate could finish, he was interrupted by the sound of hasty footsteps from outside.

Master Jia ran in from outside in a panic, his face etched with anxiety.

"Patriarch, something terrible has happened!"

Jiang Wei looked at Master Jia in surprise, his brow furrowing slightly.

Although Master Jia's Cultivation was only at the Peak of Profound Understanding Realm, he was proficient in the Time Law, making him a rare and highly specialized talent.

Even he, Jiang Wei, the Clan Leader of the Jiang Family—one of the Eight Great Clans—and a True God Realm expert, would not treat Master Jia as a mere subordinate and always showed him a measure of respect.

Even the other powers in Luoping City showed Master Jia a degree of deference.

With this kind of respectful treatment wherever he went, Master Jia had long since developed a calm and unflappable demeanor.

Jiang Wei had known him for several hundred years.

He had never seen him so flustered and agitated.

Jiang Wei waved his hand, dismissing the subordinate who had been reporting on the Celestial Tribulation.

The subordinate opened his mouth.

He had wanted to say that the one undergoing the tribulation seemed to be a mosquito.

But seeing that Jiang Wei's attention had completely shifted to Master Jia, he swallowed the rest of his words, bowed, and retreated.

'I must have seen it wrong.'

'How could a mosquito possibly be undergoing a tribulation for the Void Refinement Realm?'

'That's just bullshit!!!'

After the subordinate left the study, Jiang Wei smiled and pointed to the grand master's chair beside Master Jia.

"Master Jia, don't be anxious. Have a seat first. Tell me what's wrong, nice and slow."

Master Jia swallowed hard. He was in no mood to sit and blurted out anxiously while standing in place.

"Patriarch, Miss Jiang has been bullied!"

The smile on Jiang Wei's face slowly faded, but he maintained his composed demeanor.

"Qingfeng, Qingshui, or Qingyun?"

He had many daughters, whom he usually paid little attention to, seeing them only as bargaining chips for marriage alliances.

Master Jia shook his head, his tone grave.

"Patriarch, it was Miss Jiang Qingyao."

"What?!"

Jiang Wei slammed his hand on the desk and shot to his feet, fury instantly contorting his face.

"Who?! Who has the gall to bully Qingyao?!!"

If something had happened to his other daughters, Jiang Wei wouldn't have been too concerned.

At most, he would have sent an Elder to handle it and restore the Jiang Family's honor.

After all, he was extremely busy handling the family's affairs, big and small, every day.

He couldn't possibly handle every one of his children's problems personally.

But Jiang Qingyao was different.

Jiang Qingyao was his youngest daughter, and also his favorite.

Anyone who bullied Jiang Qingyao was crossing him, Jiang Wei. They were slapping him in the face!

Master Jia sighed and said in a low voice.

"The cause of this incident likely has something to do with us."

Jiang Wei frowned slightly, looking at him in confusion.

"What do you mean? Keep talking."

"Just now, we were in the study discussing how to deal with Gu Yuexi and the Dragon Egg."

Master Jia gave a bitter smile and proceeded to explain how the incident started.

"Miss Jiang Qingyao returned from outside, having acquired a Magical Treasure, a Concealment Cloak."

"She came looking for you, intending to give you a surprise."

"But as soon as she reached the door, she overheard our conversation."

"Knowing Miss Jiang Qingyao's temperament, she must have wanted to get the Dragon Egg back for you as another surprise."

"So, she secretly went off to find Gu Yuexi on her own."

"And as a result..."

"...she was slapped several times by that Gu Yuexi and got the worst of it."

Jiang Wei tapped the desk, his brow deeply furrowed and his face a mask of disbelief.

"That's not right!"

"That Gu Yuexi just entered the Divinity Transformation Realm. Her Cultivation is only at the Divinity Transformation Realm First Layer."

"But Qingyao is already at the Void Refining Realm Ninth Layer. Her strength far surpasses Gu Yuexi's."

"What's more, she has several Divine Level Magical Treasures that I gave her."

"With such a huge disparity in their strength, how could Qingyao possibly lose to Gu Yuexi?"

"Could it be... that someone is helping Gu Yuexi?"

At this, Jiang Wei's expression instantly turned cold and menacing.

Gu Yuexi is just a Loose Cultivator.

The Jiang Family could crush her with a single finger.

But if someone was helping Gu Yuexi...

...then someone was definitely plotting against the Jiang Family!!!

Unexpectedly, Master Jia shook his head again.

"No one was helping Gu Yuexi. There were many eyewitnesses at the scene, and they saw everything clearly."

"Even Gu Yuexi's Beast Pet Mosquito wasn't with her. She was all alone."

Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment, his voice unconsciously rising.

"Impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"There's a power gap of almost two entire Grand Realms."

"And Qingyao has several Divine Level Magical Treasures. There's no way Gu Yuexi could..."

Halfway through his sentence, Jiang Wei suddenly thought of something.

He paused before continuing.

"Could it be that Gu Yuexi has an even more powerful Magical Treasure?"

Master Jia still shook his head.

"From beginning to end, Gu Yuexi never took out any Magical Treasure. She didn't even draw her sword."

"Relying solely on Divine Power and combat skill, she easily defeated Miss Jiang Qingyao."

"Miss Jiang Qingyao attacked first, but she was still completely unable to defend herself throughout the entire fight."

Jiang Wei's mouth fell open, his voice filled with disbelief.

"This... How is this possible?!!"

Someone at Void Refining Ninth Layer can't beat someone at Divinity Transformation First Layer?

Who would believe it if they heard?!

Master Jia hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to speak the truth.

"Patriarch, you have protected Miss Jiang Qingyao too well."

"She has never experienced a true life-or-death battle in her entire life."

"She has a high Cultivation level built up by resources, but she completely lacks practical combat experience."

"When she gets into a fight, she can't bring out the true power of the Void Refining Realm Ninth Layer at all."

"That Gu Yuexi may be a Loose Cultivator, but one look at her and you can tell she's fought her way through countless life-or-death situations."

"Her combat experience is extremely rich, her attacks are vicious and precise—a pure killing style."

"So, it's actually understandable that Miss Jiang Qingyao couldn't defeat Gu Yuexi."

Jiang Wei opened his mouth, but the words wouldn't come out.

He knew Master Jia was right.

Qingyao had been pampered since birth and had never truly suffered.

Her Cultivation was built up using Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, and her practical combat ability was, frankly, pathetic.

But his doting love for his daughter meant he would never blame Jiang Qingyao for being useless.

He would only hate Gu Yuexi more for being so ruthless.

Jiang Wei waved his hand, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Forget it. Let's not talk about this anymore."

"What's the situation now? Is Qingyao alright?"

Master Jia replied, "Captain Xiao Feng of the Xiao Family has already arrived at the scene with the Law Enforcement Team."

Hearing this, Jiang Wei let out a long sigh of relief and sat back down in his chair.

"That kid, Xiao Feng, may be from a clan,"

"but unlike other pampered clan scions, he has been passionate about going out to train since he was young and has ample combat experience."

"His Integration Realm strength has no fluff; it was all earned through real battles."

"With him there, Qingyao will be fine."

"Gu Yuexi can't stir up any trouble in front of Xiao Feng."

However, the worry on Master Jia's face did not lessen.

"But I've heard that Xiao Feng is famous for being impartial and incorruptible."

"He has always enforced the law with complete impartiality, never making an exception for anyone."

"Miss Jiang Qingyao trespassed on private property first and then initiated the attack. She's in the wrong to begin with."

"I'm afraid that even with Xiao Feng..."
