When the posts had piled up into a small mountain, Chen Xiu withdrew his hand and bowed to Xu Zhuo.

"Master, this is a new visiting card I received today. The content is that I have important matters to discuss with you. I hope you can meet me as soon as possible."

"..."

Chen Xiu ignored their indescribable expressions and continued to report dutifully.

"A quarter of an hour ago, the head of the Gong family came with his daughter and asked to meet the master. They are waiting in the reception room now."

After thinking about it, he added another sentence.

"They came with bad intentions, and kept saying that we, Cang Qiong, were bullying others by taking advantage of our power. We are here to seek justice."

Xu Zhuo looked confused for a moment, "Which Gong family?"

The elder in charge of foreign affairs explained, "It should be the Gong family, which was ranked among the first-class families this year. It is located in the southwest Jingcheng and is also considered a top family in the local area."

Xu Zhuo nodded, indicating that he understood, but did not take it to heart.

There are many people who come to Cangqiong Mountain to make trouble every year, and he has become accustomed to it. Especially those who are arrogant, it is his duty to give them a good beating.

"Then let them in, I'll see what he has to say."

In just a cup of tea, Chen Xiu came back in with a father and daughter.

Both of them raised their chins slightly with a haughty attitude.

After standing still in the hall, the head of the Gong family bowed to Xu Zhuo in a perfunctory manner and stood up straight.

"I am Gong Bowen, the head of the Gong family. Nice to meet Master Xu."

After saying that, he raised his hand and introduced his daughter next to him.

"This is my daughter, Gong Qian."

Gong Qian didn't even bother to greet him perfunctorily. She just stood there with her head held high, as if someone owed her 10 million high-quality spirit stones.

All the elders on both sides of the hall put on masks of pain at once. Is this a first-rate family?

Xu Zhuo didn't show any expression. He took a sip of tea leisurely before speaking lightly.

"I wonder why Master Gong has come all the way here?"

Gong Bowen frowned when he saw his attitude and started to speak sarcastically.

"I've always heard that Cangqiong Mountain is the leader in the cultivation world, but I didn't expect that they don't even know how to entertain guests. It's not surprising that their disciples would hurt people and rob resources."

Xu Zhuo understood that the other party was saying that he neither served tea nor offered a seat, and his attitude was disrespectful.

He didn't care much about these, but he didn't like what he said next, saying that they were bullying others by taking advantage of their power.

He lowered his eyelids and didn't respond.

The elders on the side immediately understood that it was their turn to take the stage, something they were familiar with.

Especially the arrogant look on the face of the head of the Gong family made them even more uncomfortable, and one of them immediately took the lead in speaking.

"I don't dare to be the leader of the cultivation world, but it's just a compliment from everyone."

"As for the way of hospitality, we in Cang Qiong have always believed in equality and mutual courtesy, seeking common ground while reserving differences. It is Master Gong who has misunderstood."

This means that we think you are not polite, but in order not to embarrass you, we will show you courtesy in return.

How dare you scold us here? Don’t you even look in the mirror before going out?

Gong Bowen's face became even uglier when he heard this. Just as he was about to refute, he was blocked by another person.

"These are all trivial matters. Just now, the head of the Gong family accused his disciples of murder and theft. Do you have any evidence?"

Gong Qian had been impatient for a long time, and when she heard this, she immediately interrupted.

"Isn't it clear that I'm standing here?"

"You guys are talking nonsense here, are you trying to cover up for me?"

Chen Xiu was stunned watching from the side. Was this girl probably a fool?

Except for the leader, everyone in this room is a well-known elder of the Cang Qiong Sect. No matter which sect they go to, they will be treated as guests of honor.

Now that he was being scolded by a little girl, he felt that he had really opened his eyes.

Then he secretly glanced at the elders, and sure enough, they all looked as ugly as if they had eaten a fly, but he didn't want to argue with a junior.

Now I have to face this situation by myself.

"Miss Gong, this is wrong."

"Since you said that it was my disciple Cang Qiong who did this, why don't you describe in detail what the disciple looked like and what kind of monster he robbed?"

After saying this, he stole a glance at his master, only to find that his own leader was actually distracted.

"..."

In fact, Xu Zhuo was not distracted, but he suddenly remembered that the ancestor went out two days ago and brought back a demon prince.

This can't be such a coincidence, right? Can someone come to my house to do things for me?

Moreover, if the reputation of his ancestor who killed people for treasures is really confirmed, this matter, although not difficult to handle, is a bit ugly.

Gong Qian didn't care about the people in the hall and took out a portrait from her Qiankun bag.

"I've had someone draw it when I got back. You can find him and confront me."

Everyone looked over and saw a man with a jade-like face and an upright posture in the painting, holding a small white animal in his arms.

I have to say, it's quite pleasing to the eyes.

Xu Zhuo recognized at a glance that the person in the painting was Sang Yunqi. As for the little beast, it was naturally the prince of the demon clan. His eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

When Chen Xiu saw that this person was a stranger and was not wearing the disciple uniform of Cangqiong Mountain, he calmed down and spoke calmly.

"I wonder how Miss Gong determined that this person was sent by my Cang Qiong? If this person explained it himself, perhaps he deliberately borrowed my Cang Qiong's name."

"Moreover, judging from the appearance in the painting, this demon beast has no signs of trying to break free. As we all know, a contracted demon beast will not get close to any cultivator other than its master."

"Or does Miss Gong think that you can do whatever you want on my Cangqiong Mountain?"

All the elders nodded upon hearing this. What Chen Xiu said did make sense.

Moreover, as the eldest disciple of their Cangqiong Mountain, he was well organized and calm, which made them very satisfied.

"You are so messy!"

Gong Qian obviously didn't expect Cangqiongshan to deny her. In a few words, he put the hat back on her head, and her neck turned red with anger.

Gong Bowen's mind was much calmer at this moment. He pulled his daughter behind him, bowed to Xu Zhuo, and continued.

"Master Xu, with the status of Cangqiong Mountain, I don't think anyone would dare to impersonate me."

"Besides, my Gong family doesn't care about a monster, but this person once made a big fuss. After my daughter revealed her identity, he even mocked her. Although my Gong family is not as powerful as Cangqiong Mountain, it is not something that can be trampled on by others at will."

This means that the two of them came to seek justice for the sake of their family's reputation.

Xu Zhuo also understood at this time that this person came to the sky to make such a fuss not just for a monster, but must have other intentions.

I just don't know what the picture is.

Before he could figure out how to start talking, Gong Qian became unhappy.

"Father, I want this monster!"

"Shut up!"

"Father, you promised me!"

The two of them actually started arguing in front of everyone, leaving the elders stunned.

Suddenly, a cold voice came from outside the hall.

"Xu Zhuo, is this the vegetable market? It's so noisy!"
