Chapter 924: Settle Everything in One Go
Although Wei Zhixuan was shameless, he was somewhat embarrassed to be exposed in person like this. He blushed a little and lowered his head, unable to deny it.
Looking at Wei Zhixuan’s reaction, even Yan Rusong knew that Lan Xinyu was right. He had heard before that the Yue family had a very distant relative in a remote place that possessed great wealth, but he never thought that they would actually do such a despicable thing! Forget that he went after fortune, but not acknowledging the agreement after defeat and coming all the way to the Flowing Clouds Sect to find someone to take action on his behalf was so terribly shameful.
But now that the truth was revealed, presumably Yue Pingjian would no longer stand up for him anymore. The previous misunderstanding could also be corrected.
“Senior Brother Yue, now that things are clear, it seems it was just a misunderstanding. I will take Sect Master Ling and the others to the guest room to rest first,” Yan Rusong said calmly, seeing that the truth had been revealed and not wanting to go against Yue Pingjian anymore.
‘Idiot, you don’t even know how to argue!’ Yue Pingjian cursed Wei Zhixuan silently, but his expression remained unchanged. “Junior Brother Yan, don’t be too quick to speak. I also know a little about this matter. The Golden Pill Sect’s site was preserved well till now thanks to the meticulous care of the Wei family for the past few hundred years. If it weren’t for the Wei family stepping up, the Golden Pill Sect’s crystal mines would have long been cleared by now. Although the Wei family did want some compensation for it, they had never done anything to the Golden Pill sect’s territory.
Even if you are raising a dog to watch the house, you should feed it. Now that the Golden Pill Sect is back, it is only natural for the Wei family to collect the housekeeping fee, right? Not only did the Golden Pill Sect refuse to give it, but they also bullied them and wanted to seize the Wei family’s property. Is that still reasonable?
Don’t say that I am defending the Wei family because they are related to my Yue family; even if we are not related at all, as a descendant of a sect who knows this, I would not stand aside and watch without doing anything. I would surely seek justice for them,” Yue Pingjian announced, pretending to be righteous.
As soon as these words were spoken, Wei Zhixuan and the others were stunned.
Wei Zhixuan never told Yue Pingjian about the details of approaching them first to extort under false pretenses, but their excuses were exactly the same. The only thing that made him feel uncomfortable was when Yue Pingjian said ‘raising a dog to look after the house’. Who was he talking about? If they were related, then that would make him a dog too.
Wei Zhixuan’s subordinates were even more dumbfounded. Such shamelessness… no one would believe that they were not brothers.
Yan Rusong looked at Yue Pingjian like he had never seen him before. How could he even utter such things? Did he even have any dignity as a disciple of a sect? Yan Rusong had only been dissatisfied with Yue Pingjian before this, but seeing his current performance, there was only deep contempt for him left.
“Then, according to what you said, the signed agreement shouldn’t be taken seriously?” Ling Chuxi asked contemptuously. Earlier, she was thinking that Yue Pingjian didn’t know the truth, and had been deceived by Wei Zhixuan. After hearing those words, she knew that these two people were both conspiring villains.
“Since you forced Wei Zhixuan to sign the agreement, naturally, it cannot be taken seriously. However, if you really want to take it seriously, didn’t you say that it was a gambling wager? Well, we can have another duel then. As long as you win, I won’t bother about the Wei family business anymore and you can do whatever you like with it,” Yue Pingjian said confidently.
“Very well.” Ling Chuxi agreed without hesitation.
Ling Chuxi knew that since Yue Pingjian had intervened, even if she were to give in today, trouble would still come in the future. It would be better to resolve it all at once. Wasn’t Wei Zhixuan using him as his backing mountain? She would just have to level the mountain then!
All the people from the Flowing Clouds Sect who were present knew Ling Chuxi’s name, but no one connected her to Ling Wushang. This led to the fact that what happened afterwards was really ‘magnificent, turbulent, majestic, mighty, and shocking’.
