"Senior Sister Cheng!"
"Senior Sister Cheng, you finally arrived!"
"This maid has gone mad, swinging a knife and attacking people early in the morning!"
The numerous servant girls and attendants saw the newcomer and greeted her with respect, loudly reporting Yun Wuâs misdeeds.
Especially the three maids who bullied Yun Wu, they instantly started to complain in a disorderly fashion:
"Miss, this woman is a maid of He Zhiqiu from Divinity Transformation Peak!"
"She relies on her master becoming a Commanding Disciple and tyrannizes Qiluo Garden!"
"We just couldnât stand her actions and spoke against her, and she actually wanted to kill us!"
"Miss, you must uphold justice for us!"
The "Senior Sister Cheng" surrounded in the middle was also known to Yun Wu, a Steward Disciple of Xiyue Peak, named Cheng Qingyu.
She is the eldest daughter of the largest Noble Family in the largest city under Zhenyang Sectâs jurisdiction, Qinghe City.
Cheng Qingyu showed great talent and entered the Inner Sect of Zhenyang Sect at the age of thirteen. The three who bullied Yun Wu were Cheng Qingyuâs maids.
These three have been domineering in Qiluo Garden for years, with nobody daring to resist, due to Cheng Qingyu being the eldest daughter of the Cheng Family and because sheâs the manager of Qiluo Garden.
It could be said that without intervention from the Peak Master or Commanding Disciple, Cheng Qingyu held the power of life and death in Qiluo Garden.
And naturally, the Peak Master and Commanding Disciple wouldnât be interested in Qiluo Garden filled with ordinary people; thus, Cheng Qingyu was the de facto ruler of Qiluo Garden.
Seeing her arrival, the three maids immediately gained confidence and accused Yun Wu of her crimes.
"Miss, sheâs carrying a weapon with malicious intent!"
"You must punish her severely, Miss!"
Cheng Qingyu wore a Purple Sun Brocade Robe, but it couldnât hide her voluptuous figure, with deep eyes, a high nose bridge, and full red lips, possessing an exotic charm.
At Xiyue Peak, apart from the three Commanding Disciples on the Beauty Ranking, her looks and figure were among the most outstanding.
However, Cheng Qingyu was always low-key and rarely descended the mountain, so not many knew her name.
At this moment, the Steward Disciple in charge of Qiluo Garden coldly looked at Yun Wu, "Why are you attacking people?"
Yun Wu wiped her tears with a dirty little face, sobbing, "They bully me too much, always picking on me, making me do all their work. They even threw poisonous bugs into my bed while I was sleeping! Iâve endured for so long, today I just wonât endure anymore!"
As she spoke, she bent down to pick up the dagger from the ground and cried, baring her teeth, as she lunged at the three maids.
The three never expected Yun Wu to dare to act after Cheng Qingyuâs arrival, they were scared out of their wits, desperately calling for the Miss to save them.
Cheng Qingyu frowned, swatting the dagger out of Yun Wuâs hand. She bound Yun Wu with a strand of Spiritual Power and lifted her into the air.
"Your looks arenât great, but your temper isnât small. Considering your masterâs merits in repelling the beast tide, you may avoid death, but punishment is inevitable."
Cheng Qingyu extended her left hand, a red long whip appeared in her palm, followed by gasps:
"Red Jade Whip!"
"Thatâs Senior Sister Chengâs Magical Artifact!"
"Sheâs actually going to use a Magical Artifact to whip Xiaowu? Senior Sister Cheng must be truly angry!"
The three maids were overjoyed, "Thank you, Miss, for upholding justice!"
"This lowly maid dares to be unruly in front of the Miss, deserving severe punishment."
A glint of coldness flashed through Cheng Qingyuâs deep eyes as the Red Jade Whip struck like a spiritual serpent towards Yun Wu, who was suspended mid-air.
Suddenly, the crowd saw a blur.
The other end of the Red Jade Whip was suddenly grabbed by a delicate hand.
Cheng Qingyu was stunned, and the othersâ expressions changed as they bowed, "Greetings, Senior Sister Wei!"
Wei Wan gracefully stood in mid-air, in front of Yun Wu, holding the tail of the whip aimed at Yun Wu, and spoke loftily to Cheng Qingyu, "Junior Sister Cheng, using a Magical Artifact on a maid without cultivation, do you intend to kill her?"
Cheng Qingyuâs eyes flickered, meeting Wei Wanâs gaze, and finally bowed her head, "Senior Sister Wei, it was my mistake."
Yun Wu, who had closed her eyes, bracing for a beating, hadnât expected Wei Wan to appear and save her. Looking at Wei Wanâs back, her small face turned bewildered.
At this moment, Wei Wan looked at the three maids beside Cheng Qingyu, "As maids of the Steward Disciples of this peak, you do not fulfill your duties and instead bully your peers, go kneel at Qiluo Peak for three days."
The trioâs faces turned pale, and they hurriedly pleaded with Cheng Qingyu, "Miss, we are your maids, how can someone else have the authority to punish us?"
Cheng Qingyu waved a delicate hand, simultaneously slapping the three in the face, coldly stating, "Senior Sisterâs orders, do you dare defy?"
"Yes, yes!" The three were horrified, covering their swollen faces, and quickly ran towards Qiluo Peak.
Wei Wan casually waved, releasing the spiritual power binding Yun Wu, who exclaimed as she fell but was caught by Wei Wan, gently landing on the ground.
Yun Wu pushed against Wei Wanâs chest in embarrassment, "Let me down!"
Wei Wan set her down, surveyed the dumbfounded onlookers, and said calmly, "Go about your business."
"Yes!" The crowd quickly dispersed.
"Senior Sister Wei, Iâm going to cultivate now."
Cheng Qingyu gave a deep look at Wei Wan and Yun Wu, bowed, and left.
Wei Wan spoke to the glaring Yun Wu, "Follow me."
Yun Wu snorted, clutching the dagger in her hand, and followed Wei Wan to the Commanding Discipleâs residence.
She had failed to assassinate there last night.
Wei Wan stood before her, calmly asking, "Why didnât you tell others Iâm with Spirit Corpse Mountain?"
Yun Wu glared at her, "Is Zhenyang Sect necessarily cleaner than Spirit Corpse Mountain, does it matter?"
Wei Wan pondered for a moment, nodded, "Youâre right."
Looking at the dagger in Yun Wuâs hand, she stepped closer, "Last nightâs task, you still havenât finished."
Yun Wu raised the dagger but couldnât stab down. Her eyes reddened, and she angrily said, "Donât think Iâll pity you just because I saw your wounds! I, I will definitely kill you!"
Wei Wan looked at her and suddenly said, "Iâll arrange for you to live with He Su, tell He Zhiqiu and the others if they can help me find my biological parents, Iâll tell them everything I know, and then..."
She paused, continuing, "Iâll help you, kill me."
...
"Young Master, Miss, is Wei Wan deceiving us?"
At night.
In Liu Suâs room, Qin Gengyun, Qiu Zhihe, Mo Xiaolan, and Yun Wu gathered.
Wei Wan arranged for Yun Wu to leave Qiluo Garden and live with Liu Su at the Steward Discipleâs residence.
Yun Wu conveyed Wei Wanâs words to Liu Su, leading Qin Gengyun, Qiu Zhihe, and Mo Xiaolan to Liu Suâs room to discuss the matter together.
Liu Su still felt skeptical of Wei Wan, so Qiu Zhihe said, "We could try, if she deceives us, we can kill her."
Liu Su gave a thumbs up to her, "Miss, youâre still so bold and domineering!"
Mo Xiaolan frowned, "Zhenyang Sect has just lost three elders, and now all disciples arenât allowed to leave the mountain, we donât have the opportunity to find Wei Wanâs parents."
"Haha, I have a way!"
Accompanied by seductive laughter, Jian Yue appeared before them.
