Chapter 402: Watch What You Say!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Xun Yixuan lifted his head confidently and said, “Certainly, have you overlooked who our junior sister is? In a small town like Tianjing, when you have talents like Junior Sister Lingxue, it’s akin to discovering a gem in an ordinary setting. It’s only natural for people to talk about it, isn’t it?”

“Ila! Would you dare say that in front of Junior Sister Lingxue? You’re saying she was raised in an ordinary setting. Be careful, she might hear you and skin you alive.”

“That’s not what I meant! Don’t say nonsense like that in front of Junior Sister Lingxue! Although 1 know she has a gentle temperament and won’t hold it against me, she’s still a sensitive young lady. 1 don’t want to make her upset.”

“I understand!”

As they were conversing, they heard laughter from the tea stall by the roadside. “Isn’t Gu Lingxue’s reputation just a lot of hype? 1 haven’t seen her do anything remarkable. I don’t understand why so many people used to praise her as if she were extraordinary. Compared to First Lady Gu, her achievements seem quite ordinary.”

“You shouldn’t say that! Being able to create a reputation is a skill in itself, isn’t it?”

“Sigh, if you ask me, the Gu Family’s main branch must be blind, mistaking pearls for dirt. Look at Miss Qingluan’s status now, not to mention Gu Lingxue, even ten Gu Lingxues couldn’t compare with her.”

Bang!

A sheathed sword was thrust into the tea table.

A cracking sound followed.

A crack appeared on the table’s surface, with the sword at its center.

Then, with a loud crash, the tea table shattered.

The teapot and cups on the table fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.

The two tea customers, who had been chatting away, were startled. They looked towards the owner of the sword while cursing and trying to move away, but they found themselves speechless when faced with the cold, piercing gaze of a young man exuding an icy aura.

“What did you say just now? Say it again if you dare!” Yuan Jincai said coldly, his body emanating a chilling presence.

“Who… Who are you? What we said… What concern is it of yours?”

Standing beside him, Xun Yixuan smiled insincerely and said, “If you’re asked to speak, just speak. Why so much pointless talk!”

Perhaps realizing that these two individuals were not to be trifled with, the two tea customers reluctantly repeated their earlier words.

Before they could finish their words, Yuan Jincai struck one of the tea customers on the shoulder with his sword.

The two men winced in pain as the force on their shoulders forced them to involuntarily kneel on the ground.

Seeing the commotion, some of the more timid bystanders quickly fled, while others, curious by nature, couldn’t resist coming closer to watch.

“Who are you people to assault others like this?” one of the tea customers who was on the ground with a red face demanded.

Yuan Jincai remained expressionless and replied, “What is your status that allows you to discuss Second Lady Gu?”

“Could it be that you’ve taken money from Gu Qingluan to slander Junior Sister Lingxue here?” Xun Yixuan asked.

“Don’t falsely accuse us! We spoke the truth. If you don’t believe us, ask the people nearby. Everyone knows what’s been happening lately. Gu Lingxue is nothing compared to…”

Before he could finish his sentence, the irritable Xun Yixuan kicked him to the ground.

“All, they’re attacking! They’re attacking!”

Cries of alarm resounded in the surroundings.

The other tea customer, witnessing the plight of his companion, retreated tremblingly. “Why… why are you still attacking people?”

Xun Yixuan sneered, “Your mouths spew venom. With your status, do you even have the right to comment on Junior Sister Lingxue?”

The tea customer felt extremely aggrieved.

Why couldn’t he speak his mind?

Everyone in Tianjing was discussing it!

However, just as his companion had attempted to argue, he was kicked to the ground. Faced with such intimidation, he dared not open his mouth.

“If we hear any more slander from you, be prepared for the consequences!”

Xun Yixuan’s icy gaze swept over the two men’s faces.

The two tea customers wore grim expressions.

The one who had been kicked to the ground clutched his chest and pushed himself up from the ground, saying, “Who are you people? I can say whatever 1 want, it’s none of your business! You dare to attack me, do you know who I am?”

With just a glance, Xun Yixuan could tell that the other party was only an Arcane Realm cultivator. He could easily crush him with a single finger.

Such trash had the audacity to be arrogant in front of him—it was simply seeking death!

Xun Yixuan’s expression darkened, and he waved his hand, sending a sharp gust of wind towards the tea customer.

Under his oppressive aura, the tea customer couldn’t move and watched in horror as the formidable gust of wind was about to hit him. His chubby face turned pale, and cold sweat poured down.

Low gasps and whispers spread through the onlookers.

Everyone could see that Xun Yixuan’s strike was not ordinary; the chubby man was in for big trouble!

In the nick of time, a surge of arcane power suddenly appeared, blocking the gust of wind.

The seemingly unstoppable wind dissipated into the air.

Yuan Jincai and Xun Yixuan were both startled and quickly looked around.

Who had intervened?

“People should be free to voice their opinions when they’re speaking about others. Resorting to violent actions like this is excessively harsh,” a female voice came from not far away..
