No matter how the other party spoke, as the head of the First Family of the Jianghu, what kind of behavior was it to attack a defenseless woman?
"You ungrateful child, are you still trying to lecture me?"
"I kindly remind you not to harm innocent people. However, with your abilities, you could have held back just now. Were you trying to injure that sword from a distance, disregarding the life of an innocent person?"
"Who gave you the audacity to suspect me like this?"
"It’s better this way; it saves us from hearing unpleasant rumors."
Qi Xiaomian stepped back again, and at that moment, Qi Hao also hesitated to act, secretly resenting Qi Xiaomian for meddling.
"You foolish woman, why are you back? Didn’t you prefer to eat vegetarian and chant scriptures? Isn’t it better to stay away from the world and live in seclusion?"
This foolish woman was truly annoying. He had prepared money for her and chosen a path for her. Now that the Ouyang Family was gone, her shackles were lifted, and she was free. Why return?
Entering Yezhou City alongside this elegantly dressed lady were Qiu Zizai and an unfamiliar young boy.
Upon seeing Sang Qingxiao, Qiu Zizai's eyes lit up as he hurried over, with the boy following closely behind.
"What’s going on? Yong Huai couldn’t reach you and was worried sick. He specifically asked me to come," Sang Qingxiao asked with a smile.
"Ah," Qiu Zizai shot a glare at the boy beside him. "It’s all because of him."
"Blame me! I fell for his tricks and had many things confiscated by him. He even threatened me, which is why I’ve had some freedom these past few days."
"By the way, this is my junior named Fifth Jiang. At such a young age, he doesn’t know how to respect his elders at all; it’s quite annoying."
"This is Miss Sang. Don’t be fooled by her youth; her strength far surpasses mine. I’m on her level, so you should show her some respect."
Fifth Jiang sized up Sang Qingxiao with a blank expression and said nothing.
"Look at him! Annoying, right? Honestly, that name is terrible—Jiang? Stiff as a log! He doesn’t understand human affairs at all; how could his parents let him venture out?"
"You can venture out just fine, but you had to take on the family task of capturing me—truly overestimating yourself!"
Qiu Zizai continued to complain while Fifth Jiang remained expressionless. He shook the package in his hand, causing Qiu Zizai to huff in frustration. "I care for the young; I’m afraid of being too rough and hurting you, which is why I keep yielding."
Sang Qingxiao stopped him and said seriously, "That lady—could she be Madam Ouyang?"
Qiu Zizai nodded. "After arriving in Yuntie County, I found that we couldn’t enter Yezhou City anymore. We couldn’t find anyone from the Ouyang Family either; waiting in the county was just too wasteful of time. Coincidentally, I heard about Madam Ouyang's whereabouts."
"I thought that apart from the head of the family and a few high-ranking men from the Ouyang Family, Madam Ouyang has lived in that residence for so many years. Even if no one spoke to her, she must have sensed something. I figured I’d ask her first; perhaps there would be unexpected gains."
I followed the trail downwards and indeed discovered Madam's whereabouts. She was at the Remote Mountain Temple, twenty miles away from Yezhou City, engaged in her vegetarian meals and chanting, completely unaware of the events unfolding in the city.
