Courting Trouble
Just as Sang Ying had guessed, the three of them had been forced into this turmoil long after they had completely passed through that trial ground.
It's fair to say that unless they choose between the two, they'll be in trouble until they leave the Hidden Nether Realm.
Seeing that the two people in front of her were about to start arguing again, and even the disciples of both families seemed to have been truly provoked, looking like they were about to fight, Sang Ying quickly spoke up:
"This is no small matter. The three of us have expended a lot of energy in the small secret realm today, and we don't have the strength to think about it now. Why don't we give ourselves some time to go back and discuss it? We will give you both an answer later."
Liu Duanyue was taken aback, seemingly realizing his rudeness, and immediately said, "This is our fault, we have delayed the three of you for so long."
He pulled his fellow disciples aside to make way for them. "Do the three of you still need a flying Law Artifact?" Liu Duanyue asked again.
Sang Ying did not agree, Gu Wangchuan and the other person also indicated that they did not need it.
After being rejected by the three men in succession, the group dressed in the Yin Mountain Sect disciple robes lowered their heads in disappointment, but they did not insist on pressing the three men.
They simply watched Sang Ying and the others leave, their faces filled with longing as they watched their figures disappear. Their sincerity was so genuine that it startled Gu Wangchuan.
Sang Ying didn't dare linger. Almost as soon as she said goodbye, the three of them returned to Moonless City without stopping and began planning their departure from the Hidden Nether Realm.
As for Liu Duanyue and the other two, who were abandoned by the three, they continued their previous argument.
Since everyone here was family, Wuyue Qing dropped the pretense. "Fellow Daoist Liu is truly impressive. How come I never noticed you had such a fawning side before? They're just three outside cultivators who haven't even reached the Nascent Soul Realm yet. Is it really necessary for you, the young sect leader, to go to such lengths and bring your entire sect to block them?"
She recalled how she had excitedly waved to the group of people with flying Law Artifact, only to be greeted by cultivators from the Yin Mountain Sect, who then mocked her mercilessly.
Thinking of her brother, who was nowhere to be found, Wuyue Qing felt that all her rationality had been burned away by anger. If it weren't for someone trying to persuade her, she probably would have started a fight with Liu Duanyue and the others on the spot.
The fact that she has been able to endure this long already shows that she has an exceptional ability to maintain her composure.
"I was flattering, but that Third Miss was no less so. Didn't you secretly send a message to the Moonless Household family? It's just that my sect's disciples value those three fellow Daoists highly, so they rushed over as soon as they received the news. But where is your Moonless Household now?"
"Is it because you, Third Miss, are not valued or have no status at home, or is it because the Moonless Household looks down on those three fellow Daoists, which is why they are hesitant to show themselves?"
Having known Wuyue Qing for so long, Liu Duanyue knew her background well. She also knew exactly where Wu Yueqing's weaknesses lay.
As expected, after hearing these words, Wuyue Qing was so angry that she almost jumped up and down on the spot.
But Liu Duanyue couldn't be bothered to watch her madness. She only gave her a contemptuous look before leaving with her disciples.
He still needs to go back and investigate Sang Ying and the other two; he really wants to come up with a benefit they can't refuse!
With the Yin Mountain Sect members gone, there was naturally no point in the Moonless Household staying any longer.
Wuyue Qing gestured for everyone to leave, trying her best to keep a smile on her face all the way home, until she finally turned completely gloomy.
The moment the butler saw her appearance, he knew things had gone wrong.
He had tried to urge Wuyue Hao several times before, but the other party had probably set up some kind of soundproof array in his courtyard. He couldn't even wake him up, let alone get in.
I tried to say something using a message talisman, but in the end, there was no message at all, not even a message talisman.
The steward was helpless and wanted to lead the people there himself, but Wuyue Hao had already sent a message that forbade anyone from leaving the Moonless Clan's territory without orders.
Unable to even leave the gate, what could the butler do besides complain to the third young lady and try to clear himself of any wrongdoing?
Now that Wuyue Qing has returned, he naturally leaves the battlefield to the two family heads' sons and retreats to the side.
Having likely suffered a significant shock at Liu Duanyue's hands, Wuyue Qing immediately broke through Wuyue Hao's formation upon her return, barged into his courtyard, and dragged her good-for-nothing brother out of his sleep.
"You still have the nerve to sleep here? You have the nerve to sleep?! I've called you so many times and you haven't come. Father is busy, are you busy too?" This was the first time Wuyue Qing had so boldly barged into her own brother's residence.
She pulled him off the chaise lounge, and before Wuyue Hao could even react, she gave him a dressing down and then slammed him down.
When Wuyue Hao came to his senses, he immediately broke free from his sister's hand. "What's wrong with you now?"
"I'm crazy? You're the one who's crazy! Do you know that while you were asleep, our Moonless Tribe failed to snatch those three cultivators who had completely cleared the cultivation realm?!" He was angry, but Wuyue Qing was even angrier than him.
Upon hearing this, Wuyue Hao, who had been furious, immediately deflated.
He casually tossed out a sentence with an indifferent expression. "What, are you still dreaming? Don't be fooled. The person in our clan who passed the fifth level is one of the few in all these years. Completely cleared? Are you kidding me?"
Wuyue Hao naturally didn't believe it. He had gone to great lengths to find the person who had cleared all five levels. How could Wuyue Qing be so lucky as to encounter three people who had completely cleared the dungeon in just one day at the Severed Vitality Mystic Realm?
When did completing the game become such a cheap thing?
Wuyue Qing was so angry she almost fell over. "Just because you don't have the ability yourself, does that mean others can't? Go out and ask around in the entire Moonless City, is there anyone who doesn't know that three cultivators completely cleared the small secret realm today!"
Seeing how certain his younger sister was, Wuyue Hao felt a little less confident.
He turned his head to look at the butler and the others. They had all received the news early on, and could only nod at the young master with wry smiles.
Seeing the housekeeper's attitude, Wuyue Hao realized that what his sister said was probably true!
So, he really missed out on three cultivators who had completely cleared the level, and who could even be considered to have a bright future?!
Wuyue Hao could almost imagine how the Moonless Household Head would scold him after finding out about this.
Wuyue Qing, standing to the side, sneered, "What, now you know you regret it? Too late! I've already told Father about this. Just wait for him to come out and teach you a lesson!"
After saying that, she turned and left the house. Wuyue Hao couldn't stop her and could only watch her leave.
Okay!
Wuyue Hao looked at the butler. "You should know the identities of those three people, right?"
The butler nodded.
Wuyue Hao finally felt a little relieved. The trouble had already been caused, and there was no use saying anything now. The only way to quell his father's anger was to use his own abilities to bring the person over.
Thinking this, a glint of light flashed in Wuyue Hao's eyes.
