Ha, the threats are becoming more and more obvious.

Looking at Qu Shanshan's blatant hints, Yu Qingwu couldn't help but sneer, her gaze slowly sweeping over her master, Xiao Rongqi, and her martial uncle, Xiao Yucheng.

Sure enough, both of their expressions turned ugly.

Especially Xiao Yucheng, who had always been at odds with his master, Xiao Rongqi. He originally wanted to use Qu Shanshan's matter to find fault and pin the blame of lax discipline on Xiao Rongqi.

But now, not only did Xiao Rongqi stay out of it, but his disciples, Qu Shanshan and Guo Chen, were simply two stupid pigs.

Anger spread in Xiao Yucheng's eyes as he frowned at Qu Shanshan, "Qu..."

"Martial Sister Qu, your memory is quite poor. Didn't I just say? If Junior Sister Yan is willing, she can return to the capital with Jin Yan and me." Seeing that the disaster was about to fall on him, Xiao Yucheng wanted to cut his losses. How could things be so good?

Yu Qingwu coldly glanced at Xiao Yucheng, whose face was covered in frost after being interrupted, and pretended not to see his serious dissatisfaction and warning. She smiled faintly and swept her gaze over Qu Shanshan, who had a threatening expression. In a very showy and teasing tone, she said, "Martial Sister Qu, aside from anything else, if we were to set up a courtyard for Junior Sister Yan and find a young master from a marquis's or duke's mansion to marry her, it would be very easy. So, Martial Sister Qu doesn't need to worry about where Junior Sister Yan will go after being expelled from the sect."

Qingwu smiled, deliberately emphasizing the words "marquis's mansion" and "duke's mansion."

Sure enough, upon hearing that she could easily find such a high-status family for Yan Qingqing, who came from a peasant family, Qu Shanshan's face turned pale with anger. If it were in the past, she would probably immediately sneer and ridicule Yu Qingwu for bullying others by flaunting one's powerful connections.

But at this moment, she dared not say more, and had to retreat sullenly, her expression stiff as she said, "Ah, I was really overthinking it. So Martial Sister Yu had already found a place for Junior Sister Yan."

"It can't be called a place to go, it's just a backup place. Just like Senior Brother Guo Chen is to you, just a backup." Yu Qingwu chuckled, without the usual indifference and disdain to argue, but every sentence was barbed.

Qu Shanshan's face turned green and white, and Guo Chen was so angry that he couldn't speak. He simply changed the subject and looked at the timid Yan Qingqing again, saying, "Alright, Junior Sister Yu, what's the use of talking nonsense?"

"Let's talk about the most important thing now."

"Junior Sister Yan, tell the truth, did Martial Sister Qu invite Junior Brother Xie to drink today? And did she put her arm around his shoulder?"

Guo Chen's tone was much calmer than before, but the look in his eyes towards Yan Qingqing was still fierce.

Seeing him look at her like this, Yan Qingqing's pupils shrank, and the pain of being bullied in the past surged into her mind again.

She was extremely afraid of Guo Chen and Qu Shanshan.

When Second Senior Sister was around, she could still help her vent her anger and protect her a little. But since Second Senior Sister left, in the past six months, she had been bullied by Qu Shanshan almost every day. If she offended Qu Shanshan and Guo Chen today, perhaps they would intensify their actions after Second Senior Sister left.

But... Second Senior Sister had helped her so much in the past. If she still helped those wolves and tigers slander Second Senior Sister's husband now, wouldn't she be heartless?

Moreover... Second Senior Sister was right, she couldn't be sheltered by others for the rest of her life. If she exposed Qu Shanshan and Guo Chen today, she might be able to completely eradicate this pair of villains.

If worst came to worst and she was expelled from the sect, she could just go to the capital with Second Senior Sister and Seventh Senior Brother. Although Second Senior Sister usually looked indifferent, she would still take care of her more than others.

Thinking of this, the fear in Yan Qingqing's heart suddenly dissipated. When she met Qu Shanshan's vicious and threatening gaze again, the fear on her face had been replaced by resentment. Not only did she no longer shrink back and lie like before, but she glared at Qu Shanshan fiercely, then slowly stood up, looked at Yu Qingwu, and then at Master Xiao Rongqi and Seventh Senior Brother Xie Jin Yan. Finally, she pointed directly at Qu Shanshan opposite her and said through gritted teeth, "Master, Seventh Senior Brother is right. When Seventh Senior Brother sent Second Senior Sister to the women's dormitory today, Senior Sister Qu did invite Seventh Senior Brother to drink. Not only that, she also put her hand on Seventh Senior Brother's shoulder."

"Later, after the crowd dispersed, she kept trying to get close to Seventh Senior Brother, subtly asking Seventh Senior Brother if he wanted to marry her as a concubine. At that time, Seventh Senior Brother didn't answer her, and even avoided her advances. Because of this, she stomped her feet angrily and scolded Seventh Senior Brother for being blind, saying that so many men liked her, that Seventh Senior Brother was blind, and that she had been so proactive, but he was still so clueless!"

Perhaps because she had been bullied too much in the past, Yan Qingqing vented her anger as she spoke louder and louder, more and more excitedly, and even completely revealed all of Qu Shanshan's abusive words.

How dare she! How dare this slut Yan Qingqing!

Qu Shanshan was completely stunned at this moment. She stared at Yan Qingqing in shock, her face, which had just been pretending to be pitiful, instantly became extremely ferocious. She stood up immediately and cursed at Yan Qingqing in a shrill voice, "Yan Qingqing, you slut! What nonsense are you talking about! Do you believe I'll strip you naked and throw you into the lake! Do you believe I'll find ten or eight men to serve you..."

In her rage, Qu Shanshan almost forgot where she was and blurted out such a string of curses without thinking.

Every word was a threat, every sentence was filthy.

In an instant, everyone was stunned.

Especially Guo Chen, who looked at Qu Shanshan in disbelief. He never would have thought that Senior Sister Qu, who was always so free and easy, enthusiastic, and helpful, would say such dirty words.

The other disciples, including Xiao Fengyun, went from shock to contempt.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Yu Qingwu couldn't help but sneer, and mockingly looked at Martial Uncle Xiao Yucheng, asking, "Martial Uncle, do you think what she said is even half believable, someone who has such a dirty mouth and threatens her fellow disciples at every turn?"

The cold voice instantly pulled everyone's thoughts back.

At this time, no one spoke, and everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Yucheng.

Xiao Yucheng's face was dark, and his eyes were full of anger. He wished he could slap Qu Shanshan to death.

And Qu Shanshan, at this moment, suddenly came back to her senses and realized that she had said the wrong thing. She panicked immediately and hurriedly explained to Xiao Yucheng with teary eyes, "Master... Master, I only said those things because I was forced into a corner."

"Shut up!" Xiao Yucheng shouted angrily, and was about to leave immediately.

Things had reached this point, and he wanted to leave without a result. Her martial uncle really thought that avoiding it could solve everything as always.

"Yucheng." Yu Qingwu opened her vermilion lips, about to speak, but the next moment, a steady and gentle voice preempted her.

It was... Master Xiao Rongqi.

Seeing that Master had spoken, Yu Qingwu stopped talking and just sat back next to Xie Jin Yan.

The two of them, and a table of more than twenty people, all looked at Master Xiao Rongqi, who had suddenly stood up.

They had suffered enough anger from Xiao Yucheng in the past. Master always told them to be tolerant, saying that they were all fellow disciples and shouldn't make things too ugly. Now that they saw Master had spoken, they were both expectant and apprehensive, afraid that Master would smooth things over as usual.
