Chapter 874: Chapter 874: Little Fifth Brother
“Your Highness!”
When Su Ziling saw Wang Chen suddenly appear behind the cultivator in brocade robes, she couldn’t help but shout in joyful surprise.
Just now, sensing the danger, she had secretly crushed the bracelet beads on her wrist, never expecting Wang Chen to arrive so quickly!
The bracelet Su Ziling wore was a top-notch Spiritual Artifact specially crafted for her by Wang Chen. Besides its body protection function, the three embedded beads each had different uses.
One of them was specifically for calling for help!
“Who are you?”
Under the Golden Core Pressure from Wang Chen, the cultivator in brocade robes, instead of showing panic or fear, turned around and barked fiercely, “Get the hell out of here!”
His face was extremely hideous, veins bulging on his forehead, and his eyes, widened as if to devour someone, had turned a terrifying shade of crimson.
Wang Chen was slightly taken aback.
The aura displayed by the other party was only at the peak of the Purple Mansion level, yet he had resisted his pressure, and acted so insanely, appearing to be mentally unstable.
Wang Chen also noticed that this brocade-robed cultivator’s aura had undergone a drastic change in an extremely short period of time.
He was like a keg of gunpowder ready to ignite at any moment!
Although Wang Chen was confident he could easily subdue this madman, he still became slightly more cautious.
“Come on!”
Seeing Wang Chen’s hesitation, the brocade-robed cultivator grew even more encouraged, “Come hit me, see how you die!”
Such outrageous arrogance!
Wang Chen, far from angry, instead smiled and raised his right palm, ready to show the other what the dignity of a Golden Core True Person really meant!
“Taoist Friend Wang, please show mercy!”
Just as Wang Chen was about to strike, a graceful figure instantly appeared in front of the tailor shop.
It was none other than True Person Jingyun!
They had just been enjoying a pleasant conversation when Wang Chen suddenly received a distress call from Su Ziling and rushed over immediately.
True Person Jingyun, fearing things might escalate, had also followed without delay.
“Auntie!”
Seeing True Person Jingyun, the brocade-robed cultivator immediately laughed, “Quick, help me take down this blind fool!”
Smack!
He was met with a heavy slap across his face.
The brocade-robed cultivator staggered back two steps, his eyes filled with shock, “Aunt, auntie, you, you hit me?”
His eyes quickly filled with resentment, “You actually hit me?”
“Shut up!”
True Person Jingyun, with a frosty expression, sternly commanded, “Kneel down and apologize to True Person Wang!”
The brocade-robed cultivator looked at Wang Chen and then at True Person Jingyun, a fierce look flashing in his eyes.
He suddenly raised the Talisman Card he was tightly holding.
Smack!
True Person Jingyun, swift as lightning, delivered another slap from afar. Not only did she knock the Talisman Card from the brocade-robed cultivator’s hand, but she also knocked him unconscious.
After dealing with the brocade-robed cultivator, True Person Jingyun swept her icy gaze around the tailor shop.
Everyone who caught her eye was terrified, hastily bowing and retreating from the shop.
Including the shopkeeper and the assistants, each wished they had an extra pair of legs.
In the blink of an eye, only True Person Jingyun, Wang Chen, Su Ziling, and the unconscious brocade-robed cultivator remained in the tailor shop.
True Person Jingyun’s gaze finally landed on Su Ziling.
The Golden Core Kun Cultivator’s eyes showed a hint of understanding, and she quickly bowed to Wang Chen, “Taoist Friend Wang, I am truly sorry. The younger generation has been stubborn, and I will definitely discipline them properly when I return home.”
True Person Jingyun had interceded, and Wang Chen was bound to show respect. He asked somewhat doubtfully, “Is this your nephew? Why do I feel he shows signs of demonic possession?”
“He is my own nephew.”
True Person Jingyun explained helplessly, “The cultivation technique he practices is very special, and he loses control of his emotions easily. However, we cannot confine him. I didn’t expect him to have provoked your servant.”
Her gaze was so piercing, it immediately recognized Su Ziling’s identity.
And she understood the source of the conflict.
While speaking, True Person Jingyun pulled a jade hairpin from her sleeve and handed it to Su Ziling, “Young lady, this phoenix hairpin is my way of apologizing for frightening you.”
Su Ziling dared not accept it and hurriedly hid behind Wang Chen.
Wang Chen, however, boldly took it and placed it in her hand, “Don’t you want to thank True Person Jingyun?”
To refuse the gift would mean to reject the apology, losing face for the other party.
Su Ziling quickly kneeled to express her gratitude, “Ziling thanks True Person for your generous gift!”
“Such a charming young lady.”
True Person Jingyun praised her and then said to Wang Chen with a smile, “I haven’t seen a Mysterious Yin Constitution in decades, my! I almost want to snatch her away!”
Wang Chen’s heart tightened.
True Person Jingyun was obviously joking, but at the same time, she was giving him a reminder.
Su Ziling had a special constitution, which could easily attract covetous intentions from people with certain designs in mind.
Wang Chen suspected that Jingyun’s nephew had targeted Su Ziling possibly for this reason!
“You jest, my friend.”
Although he appeared calm, Wang Chen said, “It’s getting late, I should head back now. We’ll meet another time.”
After such an incident, staying any longer in Spiritual Rhinoceros City was clearly not a wise choice.
Though True Person Jingyun’s character was impeccable, Wang Chen couldn’t gamble on his life and wealth with her moral integrity!
True Person Jingyun nodded, “Until next time.”
She watched as Wang Chen and Su Ziling left, then sighed and grabbed the brocade robe cultivator from the ground.
Of course, she also picked up the talisman card.
True Person Jingyun then left several Middle Spirits on the counter and, holding her nephew, flashed out of the tailor shop.
Before long, she arrived at a luxurious mansion in the city, walking directly into the main hall.
Inside the hall were more than a dozen women chatting over tea. They were all startled by the sudden entrance of True Person Jingyun.
Some hurriedly stood up to bow, others displayed flattering smiles, and some quickly came forward to welcome her.
True Person Jingyun dropped the brocade robe cultivator she was carrying onto the floor, who immediately “ow” awakened.
At that moment, an elderly woman with white hair, seated at the head of the hall, exclaimed in shock, “Jingyun, what are you doing? What did Little Fifth do to offend you that you treat him like a dog or cat!”
Hearing the old woman’s words, True Person Jingyun felt her moral resolve flicker and she irately responded, “What am I doing? Ask your fine grandson!”
“Grandma!”
In the next moment, the now-awake brocade robe cultivator wept and rushed into the embrace of the white-haired elderly woman.
Tears gushed out.
The white-haired elderly lady immediately felt heartache and began calling out “my dear grandson,” “my precious child,” affectionately.
The surrounding women looked at each other, not sure what to say.
The grandmother’s indulgence towards this Little Fifth was well-known, so much so that even outsiders were fully aware!
After comforting him for a while and understanding the situation, the elderly woman said displeasedly, “Jingyun, you are wrong here. How could you side with outsiders and bully your nephew!”
