"Ah," Liang Shangshan exclaimed, slapping his thigh, "I almost forgot the main issue!"
"It's alright," Sang Qingxiao smiled, "I have my talisman on me."
Miss Sang is indeed thoughtful. How about we, the Liang Family, shamelessly rely on Miss Sang for assistance?
Sang Qingxiao replied, "Once we reach our destination, we'll each handle our own matters."
Liang Shangshan gave a thumbs up. "You're quite generous, young lady."
Under Sang Qingxiao's guidance, their route deviated somewhat from the Ouyang Family's direction. They didn't even enter Yezhou City but instead made a large detour around its outskirts.
Qi Xiaopeng expressed his dissatisfaction again, his tone filled with skepticism. "Could it be that your skills are lacking and you've taken the wrong path?"
Qi Xiaomian retorted, "No one forced you to follow along. If you don't believe me, feel free to find your own way."
"Qi Xiaomian," she continued, "was I too polite to you that day? If it weren't for my brother's constant reminders to treat you well, do you think I would speak to you so humbly?"
"Since you don't appreciate it, I have no need to keep pretending. Just because you've become a Marquis doesn't mean you're anything special. You're just a dog; even the Qi Family is embarrassed to talk about you."
Face is something earned by oneself; there's no need for others to give it! Qi Xiaomian remained calm and replied coolly. "Moreover, after leaving you all, I've realized that the Qi Family is not as impressive as I thought."
"The common people suffer while you pretend not to see. The Warriors protect the homeland, and you think it's a given."
"You constantly boast about helping others in need and brandishing swords for justice, yet whenever the country faces difficulties, I've never seen any of you Jianghu Aristocracy come forward."
"I fear that during those times, you'd still be arguing over who is the best among the First Families of Jianghu or who is the most beautiful."
"Hah! Have you ever considered that the only reason you can argue about such ridiculous rankings in this stable environment is because the court has provided protection for you?"
"It's merely a ranking for a few thousand Jianghu People to amuse themselves with. Do you even have the face to speak of it? Ask the millions of common folk across this land if they know who you are!"
"With your attitude, you look down on the court; perhaps you should first ask yourselves what you've done for this country!"
"Well said!" Li Cu clapped first. "A bunch of old men who don't think about protecting their homeland spend their days squabbling like some jealous women in the Rear Courtyard. What's the difference?"
"You'd rather fight your enemies to the death than throw yourselves into battle with fervor. Competing over trivial matters isn't even worthy of being called righteousness. Protecting one's homeland—that's true virtue!"
Seeing that tensions were rising and anger was barely contained on the other side, Sang Qingxiao quickly interjected, "Enough of this! We must focus on what's important. If the Qi Family doesn't believe us, then let's part ways here!"
After saying this, Sang Qingxiao and her group left without looking back. The Liang Family hurried to follow but lacked their previous enthusiasm.
Sang Qingxiao thought they might be bothered by their earlier conversation.
After a while, Liang Shangshan sighed. "What have we been fighting over all these years? Is it even meaningful?"
No one answered his words.
At that moment, Qi Xiaomian spoke up, and I had a rough idea of where Ouyang Jun was headed.
Where?
To the family cemetery of the Ouyang Family.
Indeed! Liang Shangshan recalled the map, and the cemetery was indeed in that direction. This was not good news; Binglan and the others were naturally familiar with the mechanisms involved.
