NOVEL NEXT Chapter 65
Yun Xue opened her mouth, her face turning pale with anger. But she couldn’t utter a word! Refute? The engagement between Feng Tianqi and Jun Jiu was indeed still valid. Speaking out would only contradict herself!
Looking at the scrutiny from everyone, Jun Yunxue felt a mixture of embarrassment and indignation. Despite her struggle to maintain her ice-cold pride, she almost fainted.
“Xue’er!” Shangguan Yirong finally snapped out of it and hurried forward to support Jun Yunxue. The series of thunderous attacks from Jun Jiu had left them all speechless. Now, seeing the atmosphere in the hall freeze, Shangguan Yirong panicked and tried to come up with a plan.
Got it!
Shangguan Yirong glared angrily at Jun Jiu. “What engagement? What nonsense are you spewing? Jun Jiu, you shameless womanizer! You dare to slander Xue’er.”
“That’s right, are you defaming me? Jun Jiu, you’re disgusting!” With Shangguan Yirong’s help, Jun Yunxue finally found her voice to counterattack.
But once the engagement between Jun Jiu and Feng Tianqi was exposed, they would be in the wrong.
Therefore, Shangguan Yirong’s eyes darted around as she quickly continued to berate, “You shameless scum. You still want to tarnish my Xue’er’s reputation! Jun Jiu, you’re truly despicable. Everyone, don’t listen to her. What reputation does Jun Jiu have? Don’t you all know?”
Yun Qiao stepped forward, smiling. “The divine alchemist Jun Jiu, everyone is fighting over her elixirs for just a favor. This reputation resounds far and wide. Is there any problem?”
Shangguan Yirong was choked by Yun Qiao’s words, unable to catch her breath. Seeing everyone nodding in agreement, her face turned even paler.
How could this be?
Shouldn’t everyone be cursing Jun Jiu as a shameless womanizer, shameless and corrupt, ruining the family’s reputation? Shouldn’t thousands of people be cursing her? This little bitch is just good at refining elixirs, so why has the situation turned upside down? Why aren’t the rumors effective anymore?
At this moment, her personal maid, Qiu Yu, rushed in. Pointing at Jun Jiu, she shouted, “She’s a thief! She stole the birthday gift sent by the esteemed guests to our family master. Someone! Quickly, arrest this thief!”
“That’s right! She’s a thief! Arrest her.” Jun Yunxue immediately shouted.
Jun Jiu narrowed her eyes, coldly watching Jun Yunxue and the others. Even though she was surrounded, she remained calm and composed. Instead, she slightly raised her chin, the cold and contemptuous smile making Jun Yunxue and the others look ridiculous, like monkeys.
Feng Tianqi stood on the side, staring blankly at Jun Jiu, looking somewhat dazed.
Jun Xiongtian snapped out of it, his brows furrowing with a fierce and sinister expression. “Jun Jiu, you dare to slander the crown prince, tarnish my daughter’s reputation, and steal birthday gifts. Your crimes are unforgivable! Men, arrest her and lock her up in the woodshed!”
Saying so, Jun Xiongtian and the steward exchanged a glance. As long as they caught Jun Jiu, they would take her to a place where no one was around and kill her!
“Wait.” Jun Jiu lazily spoke up.
“Hurry up and catch her!” Shangguan Yirong shouted loudly. She couldn’t let Jun Jiu speak, fearing that Jun Jiu might say something she shouldn’t.
The guards rushed forward, and everyone else stepped back. Only Yun Qiao wanted to rush forward but was held back by Yun Zhongjin. “You’re weak, let me handle it!”
“Brother, go quickly! Don’t let them bully Miss Jun!”
Yun Zhongjin hesitated. Shouldn’t he ensure his brother’s safety first? In Yun Qiao’s eyes, there was only Jun Jiu. Pity was that her attention was completely on Jun Jiu, ignoring her protective brother.
Yun Zhongjin sighed inwardly. Gathering his spiritual power in his hand, he was about to make a move when a scream froze him in place. He looked up and was stunned.
In the blink of an eye, the guards hadn’t even approached Jun Jiu yet. Somehow, they were all rolling on the ground in agony, wailing. One unfortunate guard rolled to Jun Jiu’s feet. Jun Jiu raised her foot and stepped on his chest.
Crack! The sound of bones breaking, and the guard’s eyes widened as he spat blood.
The onlookers turned pale at the sight. She’s so ruthless!
Jun Jiu raised her head, her eyes icy and chilling. Seeing this, Jun Xiongtian and his two companions trembled. Jun Jiu coldly smiled, “I hate it when someone interrupts me.”
Hiss—
A chill rolled up their spines, and they couldn’t help but feel fearful. Just because Jun Jiu was angry.
Jun Jiu looked at Qiu Yu, “Accusing me of stealing the birthday gift? Where’s the evidence?”
“I saw it with my own eyes, Jun Jiu, don’t try to weasel out of it!” Qiu Yu stood her ground, glaring at Jun Jiu. She wasn’t afraid! This was the Jun Family, and even if Jun Jiu turned the world upside down, she wouldn’t be able to escape.
Unfortunately, in Jun Jiu’s eyes, there was no difference whether it was the Jun Family or not. She looked at Xiao Wu, her lips curling slightly. Go ahead.
Xiao Wu obeyed the command and excitedly darted out.
With agile and swift movements, the cat caught everyone off guard. Then they heard a miserable scream from Qiu Yu, and upon looking, they all sucked in a cold breath.
Qiu Yu’s eyes were splattered with fresh blood, and several scratches from the cat ran from her forehead to her chin, covering her entire face. This sight was so shocking and horrifying that no one could recover. Was this done by a cat? How ruthless!
“Meow meow~~”
Looking back at Xiao Wu, the cat that had just displayed such ferocity was now acting cute around Jun Jiu. The contrast was so stark that they thought these were two different cats. They couldn’t understand Xiao Wu’s meows either.
Xiao Wu huffed and said, “I was mistaken just now, but now I’ve seen it with my own eyes. Slandering my master deserves having her eyes gouged out. Meow!”
Qiu Yu’s eyes were blurred with blood and flesh. She fell to the ground, reaching out to Shangguan Yirong for help. “Madam, save me! Please!”
In the hall, apart from the screams, there was only the sound of everyone gasping in horror.
Shangguan Yirong, shocked, suddenly had an idea. She cast a venomous glare at Jun Jiu and spoke, “Everyone saw it! This despicable person is cruel and ruthless. Don’t believe her words! Guards, bring in Jun Haitian and his daughter.”
Shangguan Yirong raised her head arrogantly, smiling triumphantly. “Jun Jiu, don’t think that Jun Haitian and his daughter are not here with me! Today, I will expose your true colors and kill you, you despicable person!”
Xiao Wu heard this and meowed at Jun Jiu. Master, they brought Jun Haitian and Jun Qianqian over!
Jun Jiu smirked. As expected, no need to worry.
She looked at Shangguan Yirong, who thought she had the upper hand, and silently flicked a silver needle. It flew out silently, avoiding everyone’s notice, and pierced Shangguan Yirong’s body. Shangguan Yirong only felt a sharp pain and a cold sensation flowing through her body. But in the blink of an eye, she felt nothing at all.
Shangguan Yirong frowned, pushing aside the strange feeling in her heart. She stared at Jun Jiu, determined to crush her into the mud! She must not let Jun Jiu turn things around. Only when Jun Jiu was finished could her daughter rise to power!
Soon, Jun Haitian and Jun Qianqian were brought in. Everyone looked at the mad and foolish Jun Haitian, and the paralyzed Jun Qianqian. They wrinkled their brows in disgust and confusion, not understanding what Shangguan Yirong was trying to achieve.
Jun Xiongtian also looked shocked. “Madam, aren’t they from the Fengluo City branch? How did they end up like this?”
“Of course, we should ask Jun Jiu!” Shangguan Yirong revealed a triumphant expression. Jun Jiu was finished!
She stared at Jun Jiu and continued, “Everyone, this is the head of our Jun family branch, and his daughter. They both came from Fengluo City! They were originally normal people. Who would have thought that Jun Jiu, without any gratitude, would cruelly massacre the branch!”
