What kind of monster is this place attracting?
You Xiaoxiao completely trusts Qin Qing's words. You know, soone whose love has driven them to anger and madness, how could they possibly praise a rival? For Qin Qing to confidently assert that Sheng Xuan isn't as good-looking as this new rival says only one thing: this new rival is indeed troubleso.
"Is it really as exaggerated as you say? The best-looking person I can think of is Sheng Xuan. You say there's soone even more beautiful than her? Why don't we close up early today and go check out what kind of 'Heavenly Immortal' this woman Tang Rao picked really looks like?"
Usually, You Xiaoxiao would just pass the ti guarding the Gentle House. But when it cos to a rival in love, that's more important to You Xiaoxiao than anything else.
"Should we call the other sisters back too? That woman is very arrogant, just the two of us might not be her match. She's of high status, always accompanied by a maid, even coming to Zijing City was no exception, and even Tang Rao gives her so face..."
Qin Qing had faced off with Wang Han and knew her capabilities. Precisely because of this, she wanted to call the sisters at ho to make it clear that there's no place for Wang Han to run things at ho.
Qin Qing exaggerates the situation a bit to draw attention from the family. With Tang Rao constantly bringing back difficult won like her, how are they supposed to live like this?
Unfortunately, You Xiaoxiao didn't imdiately agree but instead politely refused, "I'm afraid today won't work. The sisters have things to do, and I'm the only one free. How about I go with you first to have a look, and then tell them when they get back?"
It's true that Sheng Xuan and the others have things to do, but it's not so much that they couldn't get away. You Xiaoxiao just wanted to confront the woman alone.
She's t bad-tempered people before, but never one like Qin Qing described, which intrigued her.
Might as well broaden her horizons.
"Since the sisters aren't here, let's head back first. Among us, you're one of the more strategic ones. I trust you'll co up with a way to deal with that woman. Let's see how things unfold first."
Qin Qing's praise for You Xiaoxiao was exaggerated. Among won, how many don't like hearing complints? As long as You Xiaoxiao is a woman, she naturally likes hearing such praise.
You Xiaoxiao inford the Manager of Gentle House before leaving with Qin Qing.
Zijing City was unusually quiet, even the birds flying overhead dared not chirp.
"Qin Qing, there haven't been any big incidents at ho, right? Why does this atmosphere seem off?"
Not only You Xiaoxiao, but Qin Qing also felt that sothing was off. When You Xiaoxiao asked Qin Qing, Qin Qing was thinking the sa thing.
"Ladies, you're finally back. Our Zijing City's about to change beyond recognition, and you're not even helping to diate?"
Lu Jun wore a mournful expression, waiting for the ladies of the house to return, so soone could take charge.
He had never been more pleased to see You Xiaoxiao than today, happier than seeing his ancestors.
"Why should I help diate? What's there to diate?"
You Xiaoxiao didn't like ddling in n's affairs.
She just wanted to go inside to see that arrogant woman at ho, rather than waste ti chatting.
"Oh, lady, you don't know a new 'lady' has arrived at ho, do you?"
Lu Jun's ntion of a new 'lady' made You Xiaoxiao stop in her tracks.
"Are you talking about the woman Tang Rao brought back? What's this got to do with you needing diation?"
Lu Jun anxiously nodded, afraid if he delayed, You Xiaoxiao might leave.
"Of course it's related. The boss just left Zijing City for sothing, and as soon as she saw the boss leave, she went to the practice ground to compete, saying she was helping train us for the boss. You know, Xiao Yue is always in charge of our training. We all know Xiao Yue has feelings for the boss, and the woman picked Xiao Yue as her first opponent. Xiao Yue was never as strong as that woman, and after being beaten, probably couldn't get up from the ground."
Lu Jun and Xiao Yue ca up from the Land of Immortals together, and their camaraderie was indescribable. Watching Xiao Yue beaten to near death by Wang Han, Lu Jun couldn't find Tang Rao and couldn't contact anyone in Illusion City. Helplessly, he hoped one of the ladies at ho could save Xiao Yue's life.
"What, is this true?"
Although You Xiaoxiao's face expressed anger, she was secretly delighted.
Earlier, she was wondering how she could justifiably make trouble for this woman, and now the opportunity presented itself?
"What kind of woman dares to be arrogant in Zijing City? Does she think there's no one here?"
Such righteous words sounded odd from You Xiaoxiao's mouth.
"It's not that Zijing City is empty, but it's the boss's woman, and who are we? Though the boss treats us like brothers, we dare not offend his woman, and frankly, we can't afford to."
Lu Jun voiced his grievance to You Xiaoxiao and Qin Qing while leading them to the practice ground.
As Lu Jun described, Wang Han stood atop the practice ground, waving a thick whip covered in blood. Undoubtedly, the source of the blood was apparent.
"So, this is Tang Rao's steel force in Zijing City. Doesn't look very strong!"
Even the warst words turned to ice from Wang Han's mouth. Each remark was a jab, expressing her disdain for Zijing City.
"Are you the woman Tang Rao brought back?"
Xiao Yue was still lying on the ground, barely alive, and anyone attempting to assist Xiao Yue was driven back by Wang Han's whip. Eventually, no one dared to help Xiao Yue or speak up.
They watched You Xiaoxiao approach, and their looks of admiration turned to pity.
"If you an the one who ca with Tang Rao, then yes. Are you the other 'plain' wife at Tang Rao's side?"
The other 'plain' wife?
That was how Wang Han described You Xiaoxiao. There was nothing wrong with You Xiaoxiao's hearing; she heard right.
She assud she wouldn't suffer under Wang Han, but not only did she suffer the taunt, Wang Han's directness almost made her spew blood in fury.
"You're ugly; you're the ugliest one. What are you so arrogant about? Tang Rao's just interested in you for now. How long do you think you can stay favored? You're in big trouble for hitting his subordinates!"
Xiao Yue was left in such a state, and even if You Xiaoxiao didn't confront Wang Han, Tang Rao would have to give Xiao Yue an explanation. All she needed to do was stand by and watch the show unfold.
