At this time, seeing Ju An appear in the cottage and thinking that Ju An must have been in love with Wen Mo 'er just now, Guan Qingya was burning with jealousy.
He had already sent people to keep an eye on the cottage, which was why Guan Fangyi felt that the people in the cottage had been surrounded.
He had also sent people to keep an eye on Ju An, trying to find a chance to separate Ju An and Wen Mo 'er.
Therefore, he knew that Ju An had come here to pick wild fruits. When he heard the report from his subordinates, he suspected that Ju An was here to give the fruits to Wen Mo 'er, so he immediately rushed over.
Ju An had no intention of making eye contact with Guan Qingya, so he turned around and said to Guan Fangyi, "I'll go back first."
"Okay, I won't see you off." Guan Fangyi nodded politely.
Ju An then walked away. Unexpectedly, when he passed by Guan Qingya on the way to the cottage, Guan Qingya suddenly stretched out his hand and blocked his chest. He asked in a strange tone, "Ju An, where are you in a hurry to go?"
Seeing this, Guan Fangyi felt that something was wrong. She immediately flashed over to see what was going on and landed next to Ju An.
As soon as she appeared, two disciples of Purple Golden Cave landed on both sides of Guan Qingya. They were Guan Qingya's subordinates, and they were here to boost Guan Qingya's reputation.
Ju An looked down at the arm that blocked the way and said calmly, "Of course I'm going back to the Tortoise Pavilion."
Guan Qingya sneered and said, "I picked some wild fruits. Did Junior Sister Wen take them?"
Ju An glanced over and asked, "Are you following me?"
Guan Qingya said, "You think too much. I'm not like you who can just sit in the Tortoise Pavilion and guard the door. I have a lot of things to do and I don't have the time to follow you. It's just that Junior Sister Wen mentioned that she doesn't like some rotten fruits."
Ju An frowned and was unhappy with Wen Mo 'er. If she didn't like my fruits, she could have just told me. Why did she have to tell this person? What did she mean?
Guan Fangyi had seen Wen Mo 'er's attitude towards this person in the cottage yesterday. After spending so much time with Wen Mo' er, she more or less knew Wen Mo 'er's character. She knew that Wen Mo' er was not the kind of person who would say such things, so she immediately interrupted with a smile, "Miss Wen doesn't seem like someone who would say such things."
She wanted to remind Ju An not to be tricked by people with ulterior motives and not to be provoked by others.
Guan Qingya glanced at her coldly and was infuriated. Wen Mo 'er didn't tell him about it, but at least he was sure that Ju An had given the wild fruits to Wen Mo' er after probing her.
Ju An didn't continue to talk nonsense with him and asked, "Can I go now?"
Guan Qingya asked, "Why are you avoiding me if you haven't done anything wrong?"
Ju An replied, "I didn't do anything wrong, and I don't need to hide from you. Are you trying to stop me from returning to the Sleeping Tortoise Pavilion? "
"It's just a few words. Is it as serious as you make it sound?" Guan Qingya sneered disdainfully and let go of his arm.
Although he didn't put Ju An in his eyes, Ju An was still Zhong Guzi's gatekeeper. As long as Zhong Guzi was alive, no one in Zijin Cave would dare to offend Ju An. Not to mention him, even his master Yan Li wouldn't dare to act rashly. He only dared to say some irrelevant words, saying that he wouldn't have to bear any responsibility if they pursued the matter. He didn't have the guts to be forceful.
Ju An didn't say anything more and walked past him.
Guan Qingya watched him leave from the corner of his eyes. Then, he turned around to the people following him and said coldly, "Go back and tell the guards at the Sleeping Tortoise Pavilion to keep a close eye on them. In the future, no one is allowed to go to the Sleeping Tortoise Pavilion and disturb Elder Zhong's cultivation."
"Yes!" The people around him answered with a smile.
Ju An stopped walking. Not to mention Guan Fangyi, who was frowning, even he could tell. Outsiders? How could there be outsiders here? He was referring to the people from the Thatched Cottage. Guan Qingya was trying to prevent the people from the Thatched Cottage from communicating with the Sleeping Tortoise Pavilion. If he didn't take the initiative to come over, the people from the Thatched Cottage might not be able to communicate with the people from the Sleeping Tortoise Pavilion anymore.
But he had no right to care about that. Ju An kept walking forward.
Guan Qingya looked back at Ju An's back and sneered. Then, he looked back at Guan Fangyi, pointed at the ground under her feet, and warned, "Who allowed you to run out? The people from the Thatched Cottage are not allowed to run around in Zijin Cave without permission. Don't you know the rules?"
Guan Fangyi smiled and said, "Of course I know the rules. I didn't run around. This is still within the range we are allowed to walk."
Although the Zijin Cave had agreed on the range of activities for the people from the Thatched Cottage, it was not to the extent of confining the people from the Thatched Cottage within the walls and forbidding them from going out. If that was the case, Niu Youdao would not have agreed to it. The large area around the Thatched Cottage was allowed, and the mountain behind the Thatched Cottage was also a place where the people from the Thatched Cottage could move around.
It was a reminder, but it sounded different to Guan Qingya's ears. He was already annoyed when the woman interrupted him and Ju An, but he couldn't get angry at Ju An, so he couldn't vent his anger on him. But now, he couldn't help but vent his anger on the spot. He waved his hand and slapped Ju An.
Slap! The slap was loud and clear.
Guan Fangyi didn't expect that guy to hit her. Caught off guard, she took the slap on the cheek. She staggered and blood came out of the corner of her mouth. It was obvious that Guan Qingya didn't hold back.
He had been looking for a chance to make trouble for the Thatched Cottage so that his master could vent his anger on him.
In the Thatched Cottage, Xu Laoliu and the others had been paying attention to Guan Fangyi when they saw her meeting with some unfriendly people.
Seeing that Guan Fangyi was being slapped, Xu Laoliu, Wu Laoliu, and Uncle Chen quickly rushed out and were about to stand up for Guan Fangyi.
Guan Qingya was a bit surprised by their reaction speed. He quickly stepped back with the people behind him and shouted, "Guards! Guards … "
"Stop! Stop! All of you, stop … "Guan Fangyi quickly stopped Uncle Chen and the others. She waved her hand to stop them, afraid that they would cause trouble. Once they started a fight here, not only would they not gain any advantage, they would also suffer a great loss. Everyone in the Thatched Cottage would be in trouble, and Daoye's arrangement would be ruined.
Xu Laoliu and the others, who stopped abruptly, gritted their teeth and felt very uncomfortable.
A group of guards on duty in the Purple Golden Cave heard Guan Qingya's shout and rushed over. The leader shouted, "What's going on?"
Xu Laoliu immediately pointed at Guan Qingya and said angrily, "He hit her!" Then, he pointed at the bright red palm print on Guan Fangyi's cheek.
The leader of the guards on duty immediately said in a low voice, "Junior Apprentice Brother Guan, the sect is not a place for you to fight at will."
Seeing that the situation was under control and Guan Fangyi did not dare to act recklessly, Guan Qingya immediately pointed at Guan Fangyi and made a false accusation. "I just warned her to follow the rules. As an outsider, she should not run around in the Purple Golden Cave. How dare she say that this is their territory, and she can run wherever she wants. It's true that they have some space to move around, but when did the Purple Golden Cave's territory become their territory? As a disciple of the Purple Golden Cave, how can I allow others to be so presumptuous? I couldn't help but give her a slap so that she could watch her mouth! "
Xu Laoliu and the others only saw Guan Fangyi being beaten, but they did not hear what she said, so they did not know how to defend her.
Guan Fangyi, however, knew the truth. Seeing that the other side was distorting the truth, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Guan Qingya, don't make irresponsible remarks. When did I say that this is our territory?"
As soon as she said that, Guan Qingya's followers immediately testified, "We all heard it with our own ears. Senior Apprentice Brother Guan was angry, so he beat her up."
Guan Fangyi said angrily, "Nonsense! You're all in cahoots with each other to frame her!"
She did not know that this kind of thing was very common in a big sect. It was common for disciples to fight with each other, but at the level of Niu Youdao, they were already in the upper echelons of the Purple Golden Cave, so such small fights were rarely seen. For example, Wen Mo 'er had suffered a lot in the past.
"Who's talking nonsense?" Guan Qingya retorted angrily. He pointed at Guan Fangyi's nose and said sarcastically, "A bitch who can sleep with anyone, a bitch who can be ridden by tens of thousands of men. I guess you've told a lot of lies, but now you're here to speak righteously. What a joke!"
"You dog, I'll tear your mouth off!" Xu Laoliu was furious. He was about to rush out, but Guan Fangyi grabbed his arm tightly. At the same time, Guan Fangyi desperately stopped the others.
She was also sad and indignant to be insulted like this, but she accepted it. She knew that she was famous, and it would be a joke to say that she was innocent with the beauty of Qi Capital's Matchmaker. She had already walked that path, and everyone knew about it. She could not hide it even if she wanted to.
No matter how sad and indignant she was, she could not let the matter get out of hand.
In the side courtyard, Duan Hu poked his head out and asked the guard, "What's going on?" He was alerted by Guan Qingya's loud yelling.
"That man hit Hong Niang …" The guard told him what he saw.
Duan Hu immediately turned his head and dashed back to the depths of the side courtyard, quickly arriving at the yard where Yuan Gang was.
Yuan Gang was hanging on two parallel iron bars with his arms bare. He was holding one bar in each hand, and his arms were holding his body horizontally in the air. His whole body was like a cross, with his eyes closed in silence. His breathing was like the faint rumbling of wind and thunder, and a hemispherical ball on his abdomen was rolling up and down. His stone-like muscles were extremely beautiful.
"Lord Yuan, Matchmaker was hit by people from the Purple Golden Cave …" Duan Hu quickly told him what he had found out.
Yuan Gang's eyebrows moved, and his eyelids suddenly opened. His starry eyes were cold, and he inhaled the red mist between his mouth and nose, and the rolling ball on his abdomen disappeared.
His lower body, which was suspended in the air, swung forward slightly, and then suddenly swung backward. His whole body flipped in the air, and he jumped over the parallel bars. In the air, he took off his coat that was hanging on the branch, and landed steadily on the ground. He shook his clothes and put them on.
He tied the belt around his waist, strode to a tree, and pulled out the Three Howling Saber that was stuck in the trunk of the big tree. He quickly ran outside, and said, "Someone is fighting at the door. Ring the bell to gather people!"
"Yes!" Duan Hu answered, and left in a flash.
Soon, in the side courtyard of the thatched cottage, the big bell hanging in the South Mountain Temple rang rapidly.
The alarm bell rang, and Guan Fangyi and the others, who were arguing outside, suddenly turned around. They saw a figure not go through the front door, but leaped out of the wall. The figure with the saber in his hand rushed over like a cheetah, and Lei Zongkang and the others followed closely behind.
Soon, Wu Zhaoxing, Yun Ji, and the others also came out in a flash. Even Hui Qingping was startled by the movement, and she landed on the high pavilion to watch.
