Chapter 95 The Intruder
Chapter 95 The Intruder
While Lin Liuyi was eating cabbage, Ouyang Mingyue was also enjoying a delicious meal.
"Wang Qing, this place is so beautiful!" When Ouyang Mingyue got up in the morning, she saw the sunlight shining through the thin mist in the mountains and forests, casting dappled light, and the mountains and forests looked even more lush and verdant during the day.
She practiced her sword here and felt much more relaxed.
"If you like, stay longer. There are no outsiders here anyway."
"Okay, I'm actually a little reluctant to leave." Ouyang Mingyue stretched, she hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time.
At this moment, Xiangyi, the woman in purple from yesterday, suddenly ran over, panting heavily.
"It's bad, Sect Leader! Three more intruders have entered the valley!"
Upon hearing this, the two immediately ran towards the entrance of the valley, where two groups were facing off.
"Is it you?" Ouyang looked at the familiar faces.
"Mingyue, do you know them?" Jiang Wangqing asked.
We only met once.
"Hmph, you better pray you didn't bring them here," Jiang Xuechi said threateningly.
"So what? You can't beat me!"
Ouyang Mingyue's simple words almost caused Jiang Xuechi to break down again.
"you!"
“Miss Ouyang, we have come to investigate the Yin Yang Divine Sect. May I ask who these people are?” Yi Weichun stepped forward and asked.
"That's them!"
No sooner had Ouyang Mingyue finished speaking than Ye Zhaoxi drew his sword, shouting, "Evil cult, prepare to die!"
"Wait, Xi'er!"
"Wait, Miss Ye!"
Before Yi Weichun and his companion could stop her, Ye Zhaoxi attacked directly. Ouyang Mingyue didn't tolerate her either, and before Jiang Xuechi could make a move, she slashed her back with her sword.
"Xi'er!" Yi Weichun and Shen Shi'an, who were calling "Miss Ye," immediately caught Ye Zhaoxi.
"How could you associate with a cult!" After Ye Zhaoxi regained her footing with the help of the two, she began to question Ouyang Mingyue.
"Cult? Who said they're a cult? Can't you tell they're a bunch of weak women?"
“My lady, Miss Ye didn’t mean it, why are you being so aggressive?” Shen Shi’an defended Ye Zhaoxi.
"You only recognize clothes, not people! The sword's already at our throats, and you're telling me she didn't do it on purpose? I'm being aggressive, look at what you're saying!"
"You!" Shen Shi'an stammered, "Aren't you two going to try and persuade this young lady?"
“What’s there to advise? I think she’s absolutely right. You barged into our valley without cause, and you came up shouting for battle. The fact that you’re still standing here safely is already a sign that we’ve been lenient with you,” Jiang Xuechi said, stepping forward.
“I think you’re quite suitable to join our Yin Yang Divine Cult,” he whispered to Ouyang Mingyue.
Ouyang Mingyue rolled her eyes at him. "You think I'm two-faced, don't you?"
“You are a cult, cult members, and everyone has the right to kill you,” Ye Zhaoxi continued, unwilling to give up.
"You think you're the only one with a brain? You call us a cult? What's so wicked about us?" Jiang Xuechi said impatiently.
"You, you're arresting young and pretty girls!" Ye Zhaoxi finally found a loophole in their scheme when she saw the group of women behind them.
"Hmph, being young is fine, but being pretty? Ask yourself if they were like this when they came here. Ask me if I was captured too." Jiang Xuechi asked casually, as if he wasn't afraid.
“We weren’t captured by the Second Master; we were bought by him,” said Xiangyi, the woman in purple.
“Yes, my parents sold me. When we first arrived, we were all skin and bones, with sallow complexions. Look at us now. We are very grateful to the sect leader and the second sect leader. They fed us, clothed us, and even taught us to read. We are not a cult, and we like our current life,” the woman in red said with a smile.
"Yes, we thank the sect leader and the second sect leader for giving us a new life!" the other women echoed.
"But, but he's the one who separated you from your families!"
“Girl, it seems you didn’t understand. We were all sold by our parents, which proves that our families didn’t care about us much. Besides, the Second Master doesn’t restrict our freedom; we can go home to visit.” Xiangyi explained, but what she didn’t say was that most people would never go back after going home once. Going home would only mean being asked for money again, and no one wanted to be hurt again.
"You, you guys, then why doesn't he want boys, only girls? He must have ulterior motives!" Ye Zhaoxi still didn't believe it.
"Xi'er, no one would sell a man!" Yi Weichun finally understood that this was all a misunderstanding.
Those who spread the Yin-Yang Divine Sect as a heretical cult are probably the parents of those girls.
Unable to get money from his daughter, he became enraged and spread rumors.
And this Yin-Yang Divine Sect is nothing more than those two people wanting to take in innocent women.
However, the name of this sect is rather intriguing and makes one wonder.
The Jiang siblings refused to take the blame, saying it was their elder's dying wish, and that their names were unimportant.
"But, but..." Ye Zhaoxi's anger gradually subsided.
Yi Weichun patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Xi'er, don't worry about it anymore. It's all just a misunderstanding."
Ye Zhaoxi nodded, looked at the group of girls, and couldn't help but feel a surge of sympathy.
"Since that's the case, what are your plans for the future? If you want to break away from them, I can help you," Ye Zhaoxi asked.
Xiangyi smiled and said, "We've gotten used to life here and learned a lot. The sect leader and the second sect leader treat us very well, and we don't want to leave."
The other girls nodded in agreement.
"Okay," Ye Zhaoxi said dryly.
"Hmph, so do you understand now? Are we the kind of cult you think we are!"
"Hey, Xi'er. You should apologize to them!" Yi Weichun looked at her.
"Brother Chun, I! Okay, I'm sorry, I was wrong! I acted impulsively without understanding the truth of the matter, I'm really sorry!" Ye Zhaoxi lowered her head.
"I won't accept it! If we really didn't have any martial arts skills, wouldn't we have been killed by you by now! What's the use of apologizing after we're dead!" Jiang Xuechi felt that these martial arts people were extremely hypocritical.
"You! I've already apologized, what more do you want!" Ye Zhaoxi retorted, still indignant after hearing Jiang Xuechi's words.
"Why should they have to accept your apology? And shouldn't your two brothers apologize too?" Ouyang Mingyue retorted.
"Sorry, we were reckless!" Yi Weichun and the other man exchanged a glance and clasped their hands in a fist salute.
"Hmph!" Jiang Xuechi wanted to say something more, but Jiang Wangqing stopped him.
"Xue Chi, please ask the three of them to leave!"
"You, we haven't even gone in to take a look yet!" Ye Zhaoxi said unhappily.
