Chen Tingxiu was taken aback for a moment. How could Wen Xinzhao's influence not be able to kill the matchmaker? It seemed like it was a bit abrupt for him to suddenly barge in and tell Du Yunsang about that matter. It turned out that he was chased away for Du Yunsang to see.
He hurriedly explained, "It was this one's rashness. I had no choice. How could this one invite Madam out to meet me? I could only go to her door."
The old man said, "Enough with the nonsense. Are you going or not?"
Chen Tingxiu hurriedly smiled, "Since Madam has invited me, how could I dare not go? I will definitely keep the appointment."
"It's not convenient for us to go together. You can go by yourself." The old man left after saying so. Chen Tingxiu quickly followed, wanting to see him off. Who knew that he would be stopped by the old man's words, "There's no need to see me off. It's easy to attract attention."
Chen Tingxiu had no choice but to stop and watch the old man leave.
When he looked back, he felt that there was a glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel. His face was full of smiles and his heart was filled with joy.
If Wen Xinzhao dealt with Niu Youdao, Niu Youdao would be dead. As for the matchmaker, as long as Niu Youdao died, wouldn't it be easy for Heavenly Jade School to take care of a matchmaker and give Wen Xinzhao an explanation?
On one hand, it was inconvenient to kill Niu Youdao with her own hands, and on the other hand, it was inconvenient to kill Hong Niang with her own hands. It really hit it off. Even Chen Tingxiu herself admired her clever move. She shook her head and said to herself in a joking manner, "Niu Youdao, Niu Youdao, I'm afraid you never dreamed that you would die because of two women fighting over another man, right? Of all the subordinates you could recruit, you just had to recruit a broken shoe. This hobby is really unflattering. Qi Capital's matchmaker, hehe, you truly live up to your reputation! "
Seeing that he was happy, a few disciples came up to him. He immediately ordered, "Two of you come with me. The rest of you stay here."
Soon after, the three of them went out and went straight to the mountain gate.
As soon as they left the mountain gate, Chen Tingxiu couldn't help but be startled. He saw Wen Xinzhao standing on a treetop not far away, her dress fluttering in the wind as if she was waiting for him.
Wasn't she afraid of being seen? Why was she waiting here?
Although he had his doubts, he did not dare to hesitate. He quickly flew over and stood under the tree with a face full of smiles. He cupped his hands and looked up, "Lady Du!"
Wen Xinzhao was high and mighty, looking down in disdain.
Under the tree, the wooden-faced old man slowly walked out and walked in front of Chen Tingxiu.
Chen Tingxiu cupped his hands again. "I haven't asked for your name …" His voice stopped abruptly.
A cold light flashed out from the old man's sleeve and directly pierced through Chen Tingxiu's heart. It flew out from her back and blood splattered everywhere.
"You …" Chen Tingxiu's eyes widened as she slowly looked down at her chest.
A short flying sword made a circle in the air and flew back, leaving behind a stream of light. Chen Tingxiu's neck burst into a pool of blood, and his body flipped over and fell to the ground. He twitched on the ground and stared at the wooden elder in front of him with his eyes wide open. Then, with difficulty, he looked at Wen Xinzhao, who was looking at him with contempt from the treetop.
He didn't understand. He really couldn't understand. Why did he want to kill him? Why did he want to kill him right in front of the Wan Shou Sect?
A cold light flashed, the wooden elder waved his sleeve and the flying sword went back into his sleeve. Killing a person was as easy as flipping his hand. He didn't even give Chen Tingxiu time to react.
"Master!" The two disciples who followed Chen Tingxiu were stunned for a while before they shouted. They watched Chen Tingxiu fall to the ground, but under the gaze of the wooden elder, they didn't dare to go near him.
Wen Xinzhao, who was standing on the treetop, looked down. If it wasn't for the fact that she had to give her senior brother an explanation, she wouldn't even need to show up to take care of him.
So what if she took care of him right in front of the Wan Shou Sect? She couldn't be expected to accompany Chen Tingxiu on a long journey. She didn't even want to play with Chen Tingxiu. She didn't do it in front of the Wan Shou Sect because she was giving them face. As for the Heavenly Jade Sect, to her, they were nothing. They were just an elder of the Heavenly Jade Sect. So what if he was killed? Would the Heavenly Jade Sect dare to go to the Tian Xing Sect to punish them?
Wen Xinzhao flashed and landed outside of the Wan Shou Sect's main gate. She slowly walked inside, she didn't try to hide her presence, and her face was expressionless.
The Wan Shou Sect's disciples who were guarding the main gate were shocked by what they saw. The two disciples standing on both sides of the main gate slowly turned their heads and watched as Wen Xinzhao entered the main gate.
The wooden elder confirmed that Chen Tingxiu was dead. He also flashed and followed Wen Xinzhao.
"Master!" The two Heavenly Jade Sect's disciples knelt down beside Chen Tingxiu. They hugged the corpse and cried.
This incident wasn't a big deal, but it wasn't a small one either. At least, it would cause quite a commotion.
Wen Xinzhao was clearly aware of this. When he returned to the guest courtyard, he saw Du Yunsang sitting cross-legged on a short couch in the pavilion.
Du Yun Sang knew who had come, but he didn't open his eyes.
Wen Xinzhao looked at him quietly for a while and said softly, "That disciple from the Heavenly Jade Sect was killed outside the main gate of the Wan Shou Sect, but someone saw it. It might be a little troublesome."
Du Yun Sang still didn't open his eyes. Slowly, he said, "Your troubles are my troubles. If you are in trouble, I will take care of it. Go and rest."
Wen Xinzhao's lips curled up slightly. Ever since she was young, she loved it when her Senior Brother said something like this to her. She nodded and walked away.
"What did you say?"
In the main hall, Xi Hai Tang stood up abruptly. He couldn't believe what he had just heard.
The esteemed guests sitting to the left and right also stood up in astonishment and looked at each other.
The one who came to report was Chao Jing. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "Sect Leader, it can't be wrong. The disciples outside the main gate saw it with their own eyes. Now, the Heavenly Jade Sect's disciples have carried the corpse and are crying injustice. They want the Wan Shou Sect to give them an explanation."
Xi Hai Tang's face darkened. He said in a deep voice, "What the hell is that crazy woman doing?"
The Wan Shou Sect had already settled the matter for the sake of the Tian Xing Sect. Now, she killed a guest of the Wan Shou Sect. How was the Wan Shou Sect going to explain themselves to the guests?
No matter how lowly the Heavenly Jade Sect was, they couldn't just do it in front of the main gate. What would happen if word got out?
He almost said, "If you want to kill him, can't you bring him further away?" Right in front of the main gate of the Wan Shou Sect.
Chao Jing sighed. He didn't know what the crazy woman was trying to do.
"Everyone, I'm sorry. I have something to take care of." Xi Hai Tang said to the guests.
The guests bowed together. Some said they understood and some said, "Please do as you wish."
Xi Hai Tang strode away and led the guests out. Someone else came to see them off.
He strode to the edge of the spacious field outside the hall and looked down the steps. He saw two rows of Heavenly Jade School disciples standing on a platform halfway up the mountain. Their heads were tied with strips of white cloth, and a corpse covered in white cloth was placed between the two rows. It was obviously the Heavenly Jade School's Elder.
Xi Hai Tang felt a headache coming on. He couldn't fall out with the Tian Xing Sect just because of the Heavenly Jade Sect. But the person who died was a guest of the Wan Shou Sect. He was killed right in front of the main hall, and the murderer was in the main hall. Xi Hai Tang had to give them an explanation. Otherwise, what would the world say about him?
Gossip was a fearful thing. The so-called righteous sects couldn't afford to lose face.
In life, be it mortals or cultivators, as long as they claimed to be righteous, they wouldn't lose face.
Of course, there were many shameless people. But how could the Wan Shou Sect be one of them?
Xi Hai Tang had planned to leave Elder Chen out of the limelight. But in the end, Elder Chen turned into a corpse and was left out for them to see.
This scene really made Xihai Tang speechless. If he had known this would happen, he would have met him earlier. Maybe this wouldn't have happened after he left.
Forget it! Xi Hai Tang didn't want to see the Heavenly Jade Sect's disciples anymore. He turned around and went to the Tian Xing Sect to ask for an explanation.
He quickly reached the guest house of the Tian Xing Sect. He saw Du Yun Sang waiting in the pavilion with her hands behind her back.
"Du Yun Sang, what did your wife do?" Xi Hai Tang hadn't arrived yet, but he was already criticizing Du Yun Sang from afar. A group of people followed behind him.
Du Yun Sang turned around and waited for Xi Hai Tang, who had a gloomy expression on his face. Du Yun Sang asked calmly, "What made Brother Xi Hai so angry?"
Xi Hai Tang said, "Are you playing dumb with me? Our sect's disciples saw with their own eyes that your wife brought people to kill our sect's guests outside the mountain gate. Are you not going to give me an explanation? "
Du Yun Sang replied casually, "He's just a fool who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. What's there to be surprised about?"
"He's a guest of the Wan Shou Sect, what is the Tian Xing Sect trying to do? Do you want the Wan Shou Sect's disciples to try and kill a few people from the Tian Xing Sect? "
"You better figure out what's going on."
"Figure it out? Fine, you better tell me now, they're asking me for an explanation with their dead bodies!"
"Damn it, how dare you come here and humiliate me with Qi Jing's Hong Niang? Do you think they deserve to be killed? If it wasn't for the Wan Shou Sect, I would have killed them in the Wan Shou Sect. Brother Xi Hai, your Wan Shou Sect really doesn't have any airs, you can just invite anyone in. Now I suspect that your Wan Shou Sect deliberately arranged for them to cause trouble for me. "
"Don't talk nonsense … Did he really come here to humiliate you with Qi Jing's Hong Niang?"
"I don't have time to talk about this with you, you go ask the people from the Heavenly Jade Sect."
Just as Xi Hai Tang and his men were sent away, someone else came to the door, and this time, it was very aggressive.
The three Sect Leaders of Xiao Yao Palace, Purple Golden Cave, and Spirit Sword Mountain came together with their people to demand an explanation from Du Yun Sang.
Chen Tingxiu was, after all, a cultivator of the Yan Sect. Although she wasn't a member of the three sects, she was, in a way, a member of the three sects. If she died somewhere else, that would be fine, and there would be no way to clear up the grudge between them. The point was that the Sect Leaders of the three sects were here, and Chen Tingxiu was killed right in front of their eyes. Was this a slap to their faces?
When one of their own was killed in front of them, they couldn't just stay silent. Even if they didn't want to offend the Heaven Motion Sect, they still had to show up and demand an explanation. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to give an explanation to the cultivators who served in the Yan Sect.
Chen Tingxiu's death could be considered as glorious. It was rare for a cultivator's death in the Yan Sect to alarm the Sect Leaders of the three sects. Since the establishment of the Heavenly Jade Sect, they had never received such treatment.
However, Du Yun Sang used the same reason to make the Sect Leaders of the three sects speechless. Coming here to humiliate the Sect Leader of the Heaven Motion Sect with Qi Jing's Hong Niang, wasn't this courting death? What was her identity and what was her identity?
If it were them, they wouldn't accept such a thing. If it were them, they might really make a move on the spot.
Just like that, Wen Xinzhao purposely caused a bit of trouble for Du Yun Sang. However, Du Yun Sang stood up and took the blame for her. She shielded her from the storm and allowed her to be willful.
Therefore, the disciples of the Heavenly Jade Sect who were in the Wan Shou Sect were under a lot of pressure. They were asked about the situation by the people from the three sects. Most of them didn't know what was going on, and those who knew didn't dare to say that they wanted to use the Heaven Motion Sect to deal with Niu Youdao. If they did, wouldn't they be openly causing trouble for the Heavenly Jade Sect?
The people from Xiao Yao Palace and the other three sects were here. They had to speak up for the cultivators of the Yan Sect. They didn't want to embarrass the cultivators of the Yan Sect. At the same time, they hoped that the Heavenly Jade Sect would let the matter rest. Under the suggestion of the people from the three sects, the people from the Heavenly Jade Sect relented. They only said that Chen Tingxiu went to look for Wen Xinzhao because of the Hong Niang.
As a result, the murderer was not guilty. The Heaven Motion Sect was fine. With the support of the three sects, the Heavenly Jade Sect was also fine. All the blame was shouldered by the dead. Chen Tingxiu took the blame herself. She deserved to die.
The Wan Shou Sect was unlucky. They were responsible for the death of their guest. For the sake of reason, they took out one million gold coins and gave it to the Heavenly Jade Sect as an apology.
