Chapter 433 - If She Dares To Say It, I Dare To Hit Her In The Face
Tu Xiupei felt her blood surge upward due to a pressure exerted by a strong spiritual force. A mouthful of blood rushed up to her throat. But she didn’t dare to vomit in front of the Grandmaster. So, she held it in and swallowed it down as best as she could, lowering her head slowly. “No, definitely not.”
The old man gave out a satisfied “uh-huh”. Noticing the bloody hole in Feng Tianlan’s shoulder, he frowned. He jerked his shoulder and released his spiritual force secretly once more. “Continue with what you were saying.”
Pff!
Tu Xiupei sensed the spiritual force get stronger and felt a blow to her chest. She couldn’t hold it in anymore and turned to the side to vomit out the mouthful of blood.
“Pei’er, what’s wrong?” Qi Shujie, who had been spat in the face by Tu Xiupei’s outburst, only reacted by being concerned about her.
“I…I am alright. My spiritual force must have been messed up.” Tu Xiupei lifted her head and looked at the old man. She caught sight of his imposing eyes warning her and quickly lowered her head, telling him again that everything was fine.
Why did Grandmaster hit her? Moreover, why use subterfuge to hit her?
She must have offended Grandmaster somehow. She saw Grandmaster staring pointedly at Feng Tianlan with such intense hatred and wondered if he was upset with her for only telling the petty parts of Feng Tianlan’s misdeeds?
That might be the case. It must be because it would not be advantageous to the Flying Frost Pavilion if they got rid of Feng Tianlan based on the minor mishaps she caused recently. He must be hinting that he needed a more serious crime to judge her for so that the Flying Frost Pavilion could legitimately enforce her punishment on behalf of the heavens!
That must be the case. She decided to disclose something more controversial about Feng Tianlan this time.
Feng Tianlan lifted her head and observed the old man. It might be just an illusion, but she had a feeling that the old man was helping her.
“Dirty linen shouldn’t be aired in public, but Eldest Sister’s actions have shamed our family and I am very sad and unhappy by the effects it has caused.” As Tu Xiupei was speaking, her eyes began brimming with tears. “She doesn’t merely disrespect the masters of the Flying Frost Pavilion—she also killed her parents. What’s more, she was also cruel enough to banish her own biological sister to the brothel.”
“That is all slander!” At the mention of these two incidents, Luo Yunzhu couldn’t control herself anymore and burst out, pointing accusingly at Tu Xiupei. If this was how it was going to be, she was going to bring up the incident of Tu Xiang being sent to the heavenly prison to malign Feng Tianlan!
Feng Tianlan dragged Luo Yunzhu backward. “Yunzhu, ignore her. Let her speak. I want to hear what kind of nonsense she will come up with this time.”
“Tianlan, you can’t let her continue to bully you like this.” Luo Yunzhu rocked to and fro on her feet in annoyance.
Feng Tianlan lifted her eyebrows slightly and said calmly, “I’m not. If she dares to say it, I dare to hit her in the face!”
She had proof of what Tu Xiang did, whereas Tu Xiupei’s story was just a biased, opinionated account. Since she was asking to be hit in the face, there was no need for Feng Tianlan to hold back.
Luo Yunzhu glanced at her in frustration. There was nothing she could do but bite her lip in anger and tend to Feng Tianlan’s wounds. Her eyes flashed red in anger and annoyance, not because Tu Xiupei was causing problems again. No, she was angry with herself for being useless. Instead of being of any help to Tianlan, she only caused trouble for her instead.
The old man frowned impatiently as he pointed out, “Her name is Feng Tianlan and yours is Tu Xiupei. One is like the phoenix in the sky while the other is just like mud on the ground. How are you two sisters?”
Initially, he felt that the surname “Tu” was alright. However, belonging to this grand-disciple of his, it had the feel of smeared mud. It was enough that she tainted her own surname, but now she was trying to taint his master’s name as well. He would not let this slide.
Upon hearing those words, Tu Xiupei’s pale injured face turned sullen. Her voice was filled with notes of hatred. “To obtain the title of the head of Feng Family, Feng Tianlan set a trap for her parents and threatened her biological sister to speak certain words against her will.
“After she achieved her goal, she stripped us of the Feng surname and gave us the Tu surname. In the end, our parents were sent to the heavenly prison because of her.”
