At the sa ti, his complexion darkened slightly:
"Let sort this out."
"You said that your brother Ji Han originally acquired the qualification to join Yunluan Daoist School in the 'Sword Trial,' but it was stolen by Chen Qingping, the third generation direct descendant of the Guardian Mansion."
"Moreover, they sent people to ambush him at Black Mountain, and if it weren't for a stroke of luck, he would have lost his life. So returning to the city today is to seek justice?"
Jixia nodded.
Xie Wutong was baffled:
"Do you know whom your brother is trying to confront?"
"The real granddaughter of the Black Mountain Guardian, the venue of Yunluan Daoist School. You're a constable, and he's not even a constable. Even if you have the right, your little bit of strength and status would just get you beaten out with sticks?"
"Why don't you ask Elder Tantai behind you to step in and help you instead? You have spiritual-level talent, but you're not a living, breathing Great Innate expert! Who would treat you as a significant figure?"
"It's just a spot, Yunluan Daoist School doesn't fear the Guardian Mansion, but it won't go to war against them over such a thing to help you clean up the ss, right?"
Jixia chuckled:
"You're right."
"But why should Yunluan Daoist School overlook the Guardian Mansion's mistake and let others swallow the insult quietly?"
"There's no such logic."
"Don't worry, once the trusted letter is sent out, if I et Master Xie Qiaoxuan, Miss Xie, you'll understand why I'm confident."
"Today, I just hope you can stand by us, making certain people in the Guardian Mansion and Daoist School cautious and not directly targeting my brother, allowing him to vent his anger."
Xie Wutong was speechless: "That's the logic, but..."
"I don't fear, but you shouldn't."
"How can a simple constable not be afraid?"
Although she was the direct daughter of the Xie Family, her father was third-step, and the Elder Ancestor too.
But in Black Mountain, she represented the Xie Family's reputation. Seeing Jixia's spiritual-level talent and good faith, she thought of helping him. After all, what trouble could a constable encounter?
Yet she genuinely didn't expect it!
The trouble could simultaneously involve both the 'Guardian Mansion' and 'Yunluan Daoist School.'
The place was huge.
She might not be able to settle it!
At this mont, Xie Wutong was on the verge of tears.
Jixia and Xie Wutong stood at the Daoist School entrance, conversing when a sword-wielding girl paused nearby, looking up at the school's plaque.
She had bright eyes and white teeth, with gently arched willow brows. Standing on her tiptoes, she pressed her left palm against her brow, gazing into the school with curiosity in her eyes.
"Is this the Black Mountain City my master constantly ntions? It doesn't seem extraordinary."
"The plaque lacks grandeur, and why is there commotion inside, what a ss."
The girl seed intent on seeing clearly the source of the noise.
But just in these monts of pause,
She happened to overhear the conversation between Jixia and Xie Wutong.
When she heard words like 'spiritual-level talent,' 'unjust,' and 'illogical' from Jixia's mouth.
She couldn't help but utter a light 'ugh,' with curiosity in her eyes.
She then examined Jixia up and down.
When she sensed the faint aura and saw his very young and handso appearance, she instantly praised:
"Very well said!"
"Wrong is wrong, where is the logic in 'taking wrong as right?' Not fearing authority, you're a promising material!"
Yunluan Mountain's Demon Slayer ethos is upright, if it's truly as these two say...
It must be corrected; otherwise, what's the point?
Her words were direct, causing Jixia and Xie Wutong to frown simultaneously:
"Where's this voice coming from?"
Both turned their heads to the side, only to discover belatedly that a white-dressed girl stood beside them.
At her waist was a Yunluan Wood-carved 'wooden flute.'
No makeup, simple and plain.
But as refreshing as a mountain sprite, as if one with nature, unseen to the naked eye, making her presence indiscernible.
An expert!
Not a Great Innate.
How can soone reach such a level?
"Who might this young lady be..."
Jixia squinted his eyes.
After his initial shock, he felt a familiar aura from the girl, and cupped his hands probing.
"I'm Pei Lvye!" The girl introduced herself with a smile.
Curiously inspecting Jixia:
"Why aren't you going in?"
Pei Lvye looked at Jixia, finding him quite agreeable, so she thought for a mont and patted her chest:
"Okay, I'll go in with you, if..."
"Yunluan Daoist School, if there's tarnish according to what you said."
Her little face grew stern:
"I will use my master's na to definitely seek justice for you, and even the Guardian Mansion won't help!"
Who is your master, with such influence?
Initially intending to borrow a bit of his maternal family's clout, but hearing this, becoming sowhat doubtful, he asked:
"Behind you, which senior are you backed by?"
Under Jixia's inquisitive gaze.
The girl slightly lifted her chin, as the morning sun's brilliance enveloped her, leaving her energized, her eyebrows proud, hands on hips, saying:
"My master, Yunluan Sword Immortal, Ruan Xiuxiu!"
What?
Hearing this sudden na.
Jixia...
Was utterly stunned.
