Chapter 458 Duan Ye Family
When Lin Zhao arrived at Qianlong City, southeast of the Great Qin Dynasty, according to the instructions on the Tiantong Mirror, a large number of cultivators were crowded at the city gate.
Lin Zhao was a little curious, so he moved around the group of monks and listened for a while before he realized that the second young lady of the City Lord's Mansion had made a lot of jokes again.
When Lin Zhao learned that the second young lady lost her mother at birth, gave birth to an illegitimate child at a young age, had no talent in practicing Taoism, and now had her eyes on Master Duan Ye of the Qin Dynasty, she felt that these things were not necessarily connected.
"So what are we watching now?" Lin Zhao asked the brother in front of him.
There's nothing to see here. Can this group of people just disperse? She wants to go into the city.
"Normally there's nothing to see, but hey, who told the second young lady of the City Lord's Mansion to offend Master Duan Ye's fiancée today? She's being beaten up now."
Lin Zhao frowned: "The city lord doesn't care about this matter?"
"An illegitimate daughter born to a woman from Yihonglou, if the city lord's wife wasn't kind-hearted, would she still be called the Second Miss? Why would the city lord save her?"
Lin Zhao sighed, thinking that this matter was a little strange, but after all, it was someone else's family matter, so she didn't say much.
But when she was about to blend into the crowd and squeeze towards the city gate, Lin Zhao paused. The reason was that the woman sitting in the sedan chair looked 70% similar to Ning Wengui.
Ning Wengui actually looks more like his biological father, so it is self-evident who his father looks like.
So this is someone from the Qing Dynasty?
How could someone from the Qing Dynasty appear in Qianlong City of the Qin Dynasty and become the fiancée of Master Duan Ye?
Lin Zhao looked at the girl hanging at the city gate.
The girl was in a disheveled state, her dark green dress was badly torn, and her pair of light crimson eyes revealed disgust and murderous intent towards everyone below her.
Because of her attitude, the monks below scolded her even more fiercely. Under the pretext of seeking justice for Master Duan Ye, they began to throw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at her.
Lin Zhao sensed that the other party's cultivation level was probably at the peak of Qi training.
At the age of seventeen or eighteen, he has reached the peak of Qi training. This talent... is actually not bad in the Tianhuang plane, but it is not good enough in the Zulong plane.
After a brief thought, Lin Zhao glanced at the woman in the sedan chair, changed the Holy Dragon Emperor Spear in his hand into a sword, threw the sword to cut the chain hanging the girl, and at the same time put a veil on herself, jumped up, and caught the falling girl.
"Who is it? How dare you interfere with the Duan Ye family's affairs?"
Lin Zhao briefly checked the girl's current condition, then glanced meaningfully at the man who claimed to be from the Duan Ye family.
"I am just a casual cultivator. I just can't bear to see a big family humiliate a little girl like this."
Someone among the monks below couldn't help but say, "Young lady, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. This vicious woman actually released the fifth-level spirit beast Snow Cloud Leopard to murder Master Duan Ye's fiancée. It's too easy for her to just hang her up and beat her up!"
Lin Zhao glanced at the woman in his arms and lowered his eyes: "A woman who is not valued by the city lord and whose cultivation level is only Qi training can actually release a level 5 spirit beast with a cultivation level comparable to fusion. You are really observant."
Her overt and covert ridicule caused all the cultivators who had been blaming the second young lady of the City Lord's Mansion to change their expressions.
In fact, they all knew that there was something fishy about this matter, but just like when Lin Zhao was humiliated by other sects on the top of Yunding Mountain, even though these people knew that there was something fishy, they were willing to ignore those abnormalities in order to please the Duanye family.
After all, is it for the Duanye family, which has always been "kind and charitable", to humiliate the second young lady who is not cared about by the city lord; or is it for the so-called justice to doubt the Duanye family? This kind of trade-off is too easy to make.
Even if there are cultivators who disdain to get involved in this matter, in order to avoid being hated by the Duanye family, the best they can do is ignore it.
In the world of cultivation, strength is the ultimate truth.
Who can blame the fact that the second young lady of the City Lord's Mansion is at the bottom in all aspects of strength? The only identity that sounds good about the young lady of the City Lord's Mansion has become the reason for these monks to be jealous of her.
Human nature is to bully the weak and fear the strong, but also to want to show that they are not afraid of higher-ups.
From the moral high ground, humiliating the young lady of the City Lord's Mansion as a slut can fully satisfy their twisted psychology.
As for what the truth is, who cares.
But this is something that is easier said than done, and it must not be exposed by one person.
Otherwise this person will become the target of public criticism.
"Where did you come from, you crazy woman? You keep insulting the Duanye family and us. I think you don't want to live anymore!"
A monk below pointed the sword in his hand and attacked Lin Zhao.
The other cultivators all applauded: "Brother Chen is a cultivator at the Jindan stage. This time he will definitely beat that ignorant woman into a pulp."
Lin Zhao took out a bottle of pills from his space ring and fed one to the girl in his arms. Then he raised his slender hand and the bottle of pills flew straight towards the sedan chair.
As for the attack from the monks below, it shattered into dust when it was three inches away from Lin Zhao.
The monk who made the move below turned pale and knelt down on the spot.
At the same time, the other monks felt an unprecedented pressure crushing them.
"I have no intention of going against the Duan Ye family. I wonder if this bottle of elixir can calm the young lady down?"
The bottle of medicine she was trying to reach for was firmly grasped by Ji Wulian in the sedan chair.
With just this one move, Lin Zhao could feel that this woman's cultivation was in the late stage of Spirit Transformation.
A late-stage deity appeared in a border city.
The Qin Dynasty is also in turmoil.
"Of course." Ji Wulian opened the medicine bottle, took a look, and nodded with satisfaction.
His eyes swept over the girl in Lin Zhao's arms, his eyelashes slowly drooped, and he ordered the servants to leave.
If it wasn't for some purpose, she wouldn't bother letting these monks watch her punish this woman like a show.
Seeing the people of the Duan Ye family surrounding the sedan chair and leaving, the Duan Ye family themselves didn't care that the second young lady was rescued. The monk who had mocked Lin Zhao before turned pale.
He could only kowtow towards Lin Zhao and beg for mercy.
For a woman who can produce a pill that even Master Duan Ye’s fiancée would like, killing him is just a piece of cake.
Lin Zhao ignored him. Holding the girl in his arms, he moved to the city gate. After registering with the monk in charge of personnel registration, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
……
In the Tianzi Room of Qianlongju, the first inn in Qianlong City, a man wearing a wolf head mask asked the woman in front of him unhappily, "You said Fei Xinnu was rescued? Was it that bastard Lin Yi?"
The woman in front of him had delicate features, but there was a hint of shrewdness in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. She was Ji Wulian, whom Lin Zhao had previously sent away with elixir.
Ji Wulian said, "It's a woman. I can't detect her cultivation level. She claims to be a casual cultivator. I'm worried that things will get out of hand, so forget it. But her little bastard is still in our hands. We are not afraid that Fei Xin Nv will not open her heart to us."
"Then you'd better pray that the person who rescued her doesn't notice the abnormality in Scarlet Heart Girl's heart." The man's tone already contained murderous intent.
Ji Wulian trembled for a moment, then lowered his head: "I will definitely check it carefully."
The man sneered: "Also, is there any news about the puppet body?"
Ji Wulian shook his head: "That evil creature has defected to the Qingyue Dynasty and is against the Qing Dynasty. People from the Qingyue Dynasty are protecting him. We can't find the right time to capture him for you."
"Humph! Lin Yi cannot be caught, Fei Xinnu has been rescued, and Lin Yu's whereabouts are unknown. Ji Wulian, if you, the Qing Dynasty, really don't want to return to the ranks of super dynasties, I can give you a ride."
Ji Wulian quickly knelt down tremblingly: "Master, please calm down. All this is because of that damn Lin family. If it weren't for this Lin Zhao, the Purple Eyed Glazed Body would have been yours. If it weren't for the Lin family's plan for Lin Yi and Lin Yu to escape, the Ancestral Dragon Soul would have become your origin..."
"If not, if not, saying so much still can't cover up your incompetence. The Scarlet Heart Girl is the last chance I give your Ji family. If you can't catch the Scarlet Heart Girl alive, your Ji family will also be doomed."
