Chapter 1171: Chapter 1171: The Heart of a Petty Person
Though the guards were severely injured, none of them died.
Just like Qin Sisi thought, for the sake of Qing Xun and Ye You, Yun Wang and Jing Jing didn’t deliver the fatal blow either.
Jing Jing hurriedly approached Qin Sisi, anxiously saying, "Ms. Qin, sothing must have happened to Brother Qing Xun, let’s break in!"
Qin Sisi stared at the wide open green door but hesitated; she told the servant she was there to find Qing Xun, only to be ambushed, sothing must have happened to Qing Xun.
However, charging in recklessly felt improper, and Ye You had already warned her to be cautious on soone else’s territory and not act recklessly because of her Demon Emperor’s power. These families, existing in the Demon Sacred Realm for years, have their secret thods to handle higher-level enemies.
Seeing Qin Sisi not voicing her opinion, Jing Jing was worried to tears, tugging at Qin Sisi’s sleeve and pleading, "Ms. Qin, I’m begging you."
Knowing her powers were insufficient to fend off the Zhulu family mbers, to quickly find Qing Xun, she had to rely on Qin Sisi’s help.
Qin Sisi glanced at Jing Jing with difficulty, just about to discuss whether to leave first and plan further when suddenly, an anxious voice sounded behind, "Yun Wang, co quickly!"
The three were startled and turned around to see a man in black standing not far away looking at them. Upon seeing them turn, the man hurriedly raised his arm and waved, seemingly calling them over.
"It’s Jun Ying." Yun Wang recognized the man as Qing Xun’s personal guard.
Upon hearing this na, Qin Sisi recalled when she first arrived at the Demon Sacred Realm, she t Yun Wang and Qing Xun at Feng Song’s Wang City while holding Ye You as a black cat; later, Qing Xun used a carriage to take them away from Feng Song’s Wang City.
The driver at that ti was Jun Ying, who later suffered serious injuries while fending off the Demonic Beasts in Birdsong Forest.
Yun Wang thought for a mont and turned to Qin Sisi, saying, "Ms. Qin, Jun Ying seems to have sothing to tell us. We’d better leave here first!"
Yun Wang’s suggestion aligned with Qin Sisi’s thoughts, and she imdiately agreed. Both looked toward Jing Jing.
Jing Jing also knew Jun Ying; she was more worried than anyone about Qing Xun and more eager to know his current situation. As Qing Xun’s personal guard, Jun Ying could clearly provide so important clues, so Jing Jing quickly agreed.
The three quickly left the Chief Mansion’s gate before more mbers of the Zhulu family could rush out, heading towards Jun Ying.
Jun Ying, who grew up on Bizhu Island and was familiar with its terrain, led the three through twists and turns into a secluded alley, arriving at a seemingly deserted courtyard.
As soon as he shut the door, Jun Ying staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Yun Wang quickly supported him and asked with surprise and concern, "Jun Ying, are you injured? What happened?"
Grabbing Yun Wang’s arm, Jun Ying gasped back, "The young master is in trouble, Yun Wang, you must find a way to save him."
Qin Sisi walked forward, taking out a Level Six Bodhi Pill and handing it to Jun Ying, urging him to take it quickly.
Ye You, now a Level Six Alchemist, had naturally begun practicing crafting Level Six pills.
Jun Ying’s eyes lit up. After much effort to escape, he was seriously injured with only a Level Four Healing Pill on him, which healed only a third of his injuries as he was a Level Five Magic Spirit. He desperately needed swift recovery to help the young master Qing Xun.
"Thank you, Ms. Qin," Jun Ying certainly rembered Qin Sisi, who returned to the Demon Sacred Realm with Ye You; he saluted Qin Sisi and stuffed the Level Six Bodhi Pill into his mouth.
The Level Six pill was naturally very effective for a Level Five Magic Spirit, healing Jun Ying’s injuries quickly. Suppressing his anger, he began recounting the events of the previous day to Qin Sisi and the others.
Qing Xun did indeed arrive just one day earlier than Qin Sisi; he was eager, intending to directly ask his Second Uncle Hong Ji about the situation but thought better of it since he knew nothing about what happened in Seven Pearl City. Ultimately, he returned to the residence where his family lived, intending to first understand the situation from his mother, Mrs. Ying.
Unexpectedly, he witnessed unbelievable scenes.
His Third Uncle Hong Yuan was actually assaulting his mother; Mrs. Ying’s clothes had already been torn, and in previous struggles, Mrs. Ying had been injured. Had Qing Xun not arrived in ti, Mrs. Ying would certainly have been dishonored.
Qing Xun always knew that his Third Uncle Hong Yuan was a lecherous debauchee, but he never imagined Hong Yuan would dare to set his sights on his mother, who was Hong Yuan’s sister-in-law!
Back when his father was alive, he took great care of these two brothers; after his father’s death, not only did they fail to repay kindness, but they also bullied arrogantly, truly heart-breaking.
Furious, Qing Xun struck heavily, directly destroying Hong Yuan’s Magic Source, turning him into a worthless man.
The matter escalated significantly, prompting Clan Leader Hong Ji to finally step in. Qing Xun explained the situation to his Second Uncle Hong Ji, while Hong Yuan countered with accusations of Mrs. Ying seducing him.
Hong Yuan’s wife was both a jealous woman and a shrew, though she often quarreled over her husband’s womanizing. Seeing Hong Yuan turned into a cripple, she imdiately erupted like a furious hen, screaming wildly at Qing Xun and his mother, even spewing wrath at Qing Xun’s sister, Qing Rouhen.
Quarreling and brawling were clearly not Qing Xun’s forte; provoked by Hong Yuan’s wife, he nearly lost control, smashing the Thousand-Year Eight Immortals Padauk Table in the hall.
Hong Ji stopped both parties, ordered Hong Yuan’s wife to take Hong Yuan away, then consoled Qing Xun and his mother, asking Qing Xun to visit him that evening, claiming important matters to discuss.
Qing Xun speculated that the urgent matter Hong Ji ntioned was related to the Zhulu family declaring allegiance to Tian Xiaozi, so he attended as scheduled that evening.
Situations unfolded just as Ye You had predicted; Qing Xun was a gentleman, often having unwise fantasies about a villain’s treachery.
Hong Ji feigned concern and distress, begging for sympathy while cunningly coaxing Qing Xun to drink a pre-prepared poisoned tea.
Upon drinking the poisoned tea, Qing Xun lost all mana, akin to when Tian Yu Sage Ruler was sabotaged by Tian Xiaozi.
With Qing Xun unable to resist, Hong Ji finally revealed his true colors, threatening with Mrs. Ying and Qing Rouhen’s lives to force Qing Xun to surrender the Zhulu family’s ancestral Divine Artifact—the Bibo Moon Flute.
The previous desire of Tian Yu Sage Ruler was for the clan leader position to inevitably pass to Qing Xun; thus, he supported Qing Xun in continuing to wield the Bibo Moon Flute.
Hong Ji had managed to beco clan leader, which was challenging enough, and he dared not ask for more, grimly agreeing to Tian Yu Sage Ruler’s condition.
