"Feng Ninghe, stop your nonsense. You're trying to pin the blame on me with just a few words. If you have the guts, show me some proof!" Feng Qingcheng retorted without hesitation.
She was the esteemed Second Miss of the Feng family, how could she admit to such things?
Logically, Feng Ninghe should have been dead. Why was she still alive?
Back then, she should have personally dug out Feng Ninghe's heart to eliminate any future trouble!
Di Wenbin couldn't stand it any longer and quickly went to Feng Qingcheng's side to support her. "Feng Ninghe, don't you dare slander Qingcheng sister with anything. You're using your elder sister's status to insult Qingcheng sister and repeatedly attack her!"
Wang Junzhao also chimed in cooperatively, "That's right, Feng Ninghe, you're the one who's deep-scheming. Our Qingcheng sister has suffered a lot of grievances under your oppression!"
As these words reached her ears, Feng Ninghe's eyes darkened.
Xiao Zhao's fur bristled with anger, wishing it could lash out at these two with its claws.
Master, you're clearly the one who suffered grievances, yet now you're crying wolf and turning the tables?
Feng Ninghe let out a cold laugh and clicked her tongue. "Feng Qingcheng, it seems you've been slandering me a lot in secret. The one who attacked me five years ago was clearly you, yet now you've managed to become the victim. How interesting."
The Feng family members stared at them with wide eyes, afraid to miss a single detail.
With the First Prince personally acknowledging the matter, everyone instinctively chose to believe Feng Ninghe.
However, Feng Qingcheng's cultivation had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, so no one dared to attack her, let alone speak rudely.
Even if everyone knew the truth, they would pretend not to. The Feng family still needed Feng Qingcheng.
One Feng Qingcheng could make the Feng family rise step by step!
Madam Zhang, fearing the matter would escalate, quickly stepped forward. "Alright, alright, what happened five years ago is in the past. Let's not discuss it anymore."
Feng Tongtong was about to marry the First Prince, and bringing up past events at this time would not benefit either of them.
Feng Qingcheng turned her gaze to the two disciples of the Immortal Sect before her, a look of innocent helplessness appearing on her delicate face. She shook her head dismissively. "Junior Brother Di, Junior Sister Wang, this matter has been in the past for a long time. Let it be in the past and don't mention it again."
Di Wenbin was anxious. "Qingcheng sister, what are you saying? The matter has indeed passed, but how will you account for the grievances you suffered?"
Feng Qingcheng, with a magnanimous expression, generously reached out and patted Di Wenbin's shoulder. "Junior Brother Di, I'm fine."
"Feng Qingcheng, why don't you tell us what grievances you've suffered? You've had everything you ate and wore since you were young, using the resources of the Zhenguo Duke's mansion. Five years ago, you even plotted against me. What grievances could you possibly have?"
Feng Ninghe raised her eyebrows, her icy words slowly吐出.
The Feng family's rise to its current status was all thanks to her father.
The Zhenguo Duke sacrificed himself, and the Emperor of Li felt indebted to them, granting the Feng family many resources. What the Feng family enjoyed now was built upon the foundation of the Zhenguo Duke's efforts.
"Qingcheng sister has suffered many grievances. She has been enduring them for the sake of harmony and hasn't said much. Don't you know what you've done yourself?"
Di Wenbin spoke eloquently, as if he were the one who had suffered injustice.
Feng Qingcheng smiled and interrupted Di Wenbin again. "Junior Brother Di, forget it."
Di Wenbin couldn't bear it. "Sister, the kind are often bullied. It's precisely because you're too kind-hearted that you've always been bullied. And Sixth Master, he simply doesn't know the truth and rudely said you touched the things, calling them dirty!"
"Rudely?"
Su Qian stepped forward, her brows furrowed. "Feng Qingcheng was the one who encroached on the medicinal herbs first. Why is she now calling Sixth Master rude?"
Initially, she didn't like Feng Ninghe, but now, looking at Feng Qingcheng, she disliked her even more.
Encroaching on medicinal herbs was one thing, but to act so righteously and pitifully as if she were the wronged party was another.
How could such a woman become a heavenly prodigy?
What was the point of having great cultivation if her character was flawed? She was still detestable.
Wang Junzhao said indignantly, "The maid already said that when she delivered the herbs, she only mentioned 'Miss Feng,' not specifying which one. It's normal to make a mistake."
Su Hongxiu spoke, his expression slightly cold. "There are three young ladies in the Feng family. Why was it only Feng Qingcheng who eagerly accepted the herbs? Even if she didn't know which one, why didn't she ask? Or perhaps Feng Qingcheng was too arrogant, which is why she accepted the herbs."
As if thinking of something, he then looked at Di Wenbin. "You're making a judgment based on one person's words alone. Even the sole heir of the Immortal Sect's sect master is no more than this."
These simple words successfully changed Di Wenbin's expression.
"In my opinion, the Pavilion Master of Willow Face Pavilion is also no more than this. It's Qingcheng sister who is truly wronged. You are the one who is truly unable to distinguish right from wrong and is blind!"
Di Wenbin roared hysterically, as if he were the one who had suffered grievances.
He suddenly stomped forward and drew his long sword, fiercely thrusting it at Su Hongxiu, all the while shouting, "Today, I want to see just how capable the rumored Sixth Master is!"
As the sword was swung, Su Hongxiu's eyes flickered. His feet were firmly planted on the ground, with no intention of moving. He lightly waved his bone fan, and a sharp beam of light fiercely swept towards Di Wenbin.
Di Wenbin's steps faltered, as if an invisible wall had blocked his path.
*Bang!*
The long sword in his hand made a tearing sound and quickly fell to the ground.
Su Hongxiu hadn't even made a move. With just a gentle wave, Di Wenbin's long sword shattered into pieces.
He narrowed his eyes, his gaze falling on Di Wenbin, and slowly opened his mouth. "Di Wenbin, even your father would be polite to me. Yet you have the audacity to attack me."
The male voice was as gentle as ever, but the words that fell caused people's hearts to involuntarily tremble.
A powerful pressure descended upon Di Wenbin. His knees bent sharply, and he directly knelt on the ground.
"Senior Brother Di!"
Wang Junzhao's face paled with panic, and she quickly stepped forward, intending to help him up.
As her hand just touched Di Wenbin, the pressure also swept towards her.
The immense pressure made it impossible for her to straighten her back, and she also knelt on the ground.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Junzhao couldn't even maintain a kneeling posture and was prostrate on the ground.
"Sixth Master, what are you doing!"
Wang Junzhao screamed. The pressure made it difficult for her to breathe, and a mouthful of bright red blood spurted from her mouth.
The Feng family members were dumbfounded.
These two were disciples of the Immortal Sect. They treated them with respect and dared not offend them, yet Sixth Master completely disregarded the Immortal Sect and attacked them without hesitation.
"Hmm~"
Su Hongxiu seemed to have discovered something surprising. His eyes lit up, and a hint of surprise appeared in his pupils. "What are you two doing? You don't need to bow so deeply when you see me."
Feng Ninghe's eyes curved into a smile, and she couldn't help but glance at Su Hongxiu again.
She hadn't expected the Pavilion Master of Willow Face Pavilion to be so playful.
He was clearly the one who did it, yet he could still feign innocence.
