Chapter 1329: Settling The Dispute

Not even Liu Yanran knew what to do anymore. She was both overjoyed and worried at the same time. She was happy because Grand Uncle Yue and Princess Zhuang were arrogant and had shown her no respect when they had appeared. However, she was worried that they had made an enemy out of the Ziling Sect, which wouldn’t be good for the Brightflower Chamber at all.

“Activate the formation and kill them!” someone shouted.

Even their Saints had been defeated. Apart from their formation, they had nothing to rely on.

“Feel free to give it a try, but I don’t know how many of you will die if you do,” said Xiang Shaoyun coldly.

Liu Yanran finally recovered from her shock and shouted, “Everyone, do not move! Listen to me! Anyone who disobeys will be punished with death!”

Finally, everyone shut their mouths and waited for her next command. Although a powerful Saint had appeared beside Xiang Shaoyun, they had numbers. In any case, this concerned the Brightflower Chamber’s dignity. They naturally couldn’t concede even if they had to die.

“Liu Yanran, the alliance with the Ziling Sect must be immediately canceled!” said Princess Zhuang as she held her severed arm.

She was already old. With the loss of an arm, her life force was further weakened. She wished for nothing more than to kill Xiang Shaoyun, but she was afraid that they would kill her instead.

Grand Uncle Yue remained silent, but he was also looking at Xiang Shaoyun with hatred in his eyes. He used the saint-grade spring water in his astral cosmos sea to rapidly recover. He was even trying to reconnect his severed arm. As a Heaven Battling Realm cultivator, he could reconnect a severed arm, but naturally, Princess Zhuang couldn’t.

“Truly a bunch of thankless wretches,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a sigh. “Looks like this trip was a waste of time. Let’s go.”

He was truly quite disappointed with the Brightflower Chamber. After all, the Ziling Sect had spared no effort in helping them.

“Young Master Xiang, there’s no rush. We can always talk this out. I believe there is a misunderstanding somewhere,” pleaded Liu Yanran.

Tuoba Wan’er couldn’t help herself anymore. She said, “Yanran, I see you as a sister, so I’ll tell you the truth. Your Brightflower Chamber is the one at fault here. When we visited, someone from your Brightflower Chamber teased us. The holy son-in-law taught him a lesson. At the time, we still weren’t aware that he was a Brightflower Chamber member. Earlier, we met him again. And then, your people tried to arrest us. The holy son-in-law was only defending himself. That person was the one who had teased us. He was also the one who kept sending people to us. You can ask him yourself.”

Initially, Yuan Lingshao’s entire body was limp from fear. When he heard Tuoba Wan’er’s words, he instantly got back on his feet and said, “No, that’s not true! This has nothing to do with me!”

“Bring him over here!” Liu Yanran commanded.

Yuan Lingshao was arrested and brought before them.

“Say the truth! Are you the one who caused this?” questioned Liu Yanran sternly.

“I-I admit my mistake! Young chamber master, I beg for your forgiveness!” Yuan Lingshao did not dare to lie and immediately pleaded for forgiveness.

“Hehe, are you aware that they are our allies and honored guests? You dare tease them? Why don’t you go back and tease your mother?” Liu Yanran berated him. A green sword appeared in her hand. With a swing of the sword, Yuan Lingshao’s head was severed.

All the Brightflower Chamber members were stunned. Who would have guessed that Liu Yanran would kill Yuan Lingshao so decisively? Only then did they realize how merciless their young chamber master could be when she was furious. Both Grand Uncle Yue and Princess Zhuang had complicated emotions. They found themselves looking at Liu Yanran in a completely new light.

Liu Yanran loudly said, “Young Master Xiang is the Ziling Sect’s young sect master. Not long ago, we allied with them, and they helped us a lot. Since Yuan Lingshao had offended our ally and created such a misunderstanding, his death is deserved. This ends here. Stop creating trouble for Young Master Xiang. As the host, it was our fault for being rude to our guests. If this continues, it will only ruin our alliance, which is not acceptable. Does anyone disagree?”

Liu Yanran made things very clear. With Yuan Lingshao dead, she would punish anyone who continued to create trouble. Those injured by Xiang Shaoyun were unhappy, but when they recalled how Yuan Lingshao was the culprit for their injuries, they shifted their hatred toward him instead. However, a dead person wasn’t worth their time, so they decided to just swallow their anger.

With the Ziling Sect’s outstanding performance, which had injured even their Saints, what else could they do?

“What do you think, Young Master Xiang?” asked Liu Yanran.

Xiang Shaoyun indifferently said, “It’s none of my business. However, I’m quite disappointed in your way of treating your guests. I waited for three days without receiving any news from you. One of you even came out to disturb my women. Then, your people started attacking us without asking anything. If I was any weaker, I would have been reduced to a corpse. Even my women would be subjects of humiliation. Do you think I’ll let this slide?”

His words gave some of them the illusion that Xiang Shaoyun had indeed been wronged. He was right. If he was any weaker, he would have died by now. Xiang Shaoyun had picked words that were correct to the point that much of their anger diminished. Liu Yanran understood that Xiang Shaoyun was simply asking for more compensation.

“What do I need to do to alleviate your anger, Young Master Xiang? You have already injured all of them,” said Liu Yanran.

“They asked for it,” said Xiang Shaoyun.

Grand Uncle Yue and Princess Zhuang wore unsightly expressions upon hearing that.

“We won’t take part in this matter anymore,” said Princess Zhuang resentfully as she left with her old companion in tow.

If they stayed, they would be reduced to nothing but a joke. At the moment, Liu Yanran was completely ignoring them. Since they didn’t want to fall out with her, they decided to just retreat.

Liu Yanran did not try to make them stay. She looked at Xiang Shaoyun and asked, “Just say it. What do you need to calm your anger? We had just allied with each other. It’s not worth it to ruin our friendship over something so trivial. Outsiders would only jeer at us for doing something so stupid.”

“Fulfill what you promised immediately. We can talk about the rest at a later time,” said Xiang Shaoyun. He couldn’t be bothered to beat around the bush.
