Jiang Ying Yue also understood that these people were just ordinary citizens it was too much for her to expect them to stand up and fight against her father's injustice.
But even so, she didn't think that she was being ignorant and unreasonable, and was unable to distinguish right from wrong.
Although she had been cooped up inside her mansion ever since their return she had her people report every detail of the gossip or any rumors that went around outside.
Not to mention how dirty their mouths were she had been seething in anger!
How could she not know what these people were thinking?
The mentality of fearing the strong and bullying the weak was not something new in society. She knew very well what was going on.
If the Old Emperor had played a major role in her father's downfall but it mean didn't she would just forgive these pests who took their chance trampling on her father's name even after hearing that the person was already dead.
And of course, she also understood that not everyone might be like them. But so what?
It wasn't like she was planning to kill all of them to appease her grievance.
Moreover, the world had always been unfair. Since they didn't speak they could only suffer.
She didn't ask them to be righteous but at least should have differed or discouraged some people who crossed the bottom line while indulging in gossip.
If the b*stard Emperor was the main culprit then these people were no lesser than his accomplices.
As for the matter of forgiveness, how could that be so easy?
With how impartial her character was...Hehe, these people could forget about escaping!
Jiang Ying Yue sneered, her eyes full of coldness and sarcasm. She wasn't some Bodhisattva or Goddess of Mercy that she had to be kind and endure all this stubbornly.
She absolutely wouldn't let herself or her family suffer any grievances. All these unpaid debts had to be repaid.
Did these people think that in the absence of her father, they could continue to live in peace?
Very well, they could continue dreaming.
The future held many surprises!
The guards saw that their shouts and commands remained answered, Jiang Ying Yue didn't blink let alone respond to them.
Seeing her indifferent attitude the guards got annoyed.
Their voice grew louder as they barked at her in a harsher tone, " Didn't you hear us?! Kneel and receive your punishment!"
" Do you know who our master is?! How dare you be so impudent--" One of the guards was so annoyed by her attitude that he wanted to poke a bloody hole into her face and teach her a lesson.
With this thought, just as the sword in his pressed forward his gaze collided with a dark chilling gaze. The guard couldn't help but shudder as he choked in and swallowed the rest of his words.
The guard couldn't help but have a bad premonition feeling that he had pushed the wrong button.
And the next second...
Creak!
"...."
Not far, among the crowd Qian Shan who had also come to watch the show saw the scene, his eyes bulged in shock, and broke out in cold sweat.
"Aaahhh!...."
The heart-wrenching shriek rang up to the sky, perfectly overlapping with his cry in his memory from a month ago, instantly reminding him of that painful, bloody experience.
Recalling all this Qian Shan's face turned ghastly pale and his arm which had just recovered after consuming countless pricey pills started to hurt once again.
Needless to say, during the past month, Qian Shan had not been sitting idle. His hatred and anger brew within him day after day to the point that it even made his recovery harder.
But he was unreconciled, he couldn't accept his humiliation and defeat. He had his people look all over, every corner of the Capital and nearby cities and villages and even used connections of his family but in the end, he still couldn't find that brat.
At that time he was so angry at his subordinates' incompetence. But now that he saw the scene before he felt like he had been doused with a bucket full of ice-cold water.
His raging anger dissipated as all his senses overcame with fear and pain.
Creak!
Creak!
Creak!
Creak!
"....."
However, as if that amount of pain and fear wasn't enough he saw her proceed to greet others.
Her movement was quick and neat and she looked to be in complete ease. As if she wasn't breaking someone's bones but pulling out radishes.
It was too easy and effortless.
" Aaahhh!...."
" Aaahhh!...."
" Aaahhh!...."
"..."
The crowd:"....."
Qian Shan:"....." silently wiped his cold sweat.
If this demon girl really happened to be that brat then he'd rather swallow his anger than find trouble.
He still wanted his hands.
Qian Shan repeatedly reminded himself to keep a low profile, he didn't want to suffer another painful misfortune.
Qian Shan looked buff but he was a coward, he shrank himself in the crowd, trying to minimize his existence as much as possible while wondering whether he should leave or continue watching the show.
The scene was chaos.
The guards let out mournful shrieks and howled like ghosts while the people gathered to watch the show continued with their ceaseless chattering.
Jiang Ying Yue frowned feeling her anger and displeasure rise once again.
She could swear that her initial intention was never to be so violent, she had always been very civil but these people were just too at p*ssing her off. She couldn't help but wait to move her hands and feet on them.
"You, you...." the Old man who had just managed to climb up the hole with the help of his men pointed his finger and stammered in anger.
" What? You also want some?" Jiang Ying Yue's tone was threatening as she asked while twisting her wrist, taking a step ready for action.
The arrogant Old man choked unable to respond before subconsciously taking a step back, however, realizing his reaction halfway his old face flushed in anger and embarrassment.
" Little lass, you are only this big but you are not only arrogant but also unrighteous. However, it is also not surprising, with parents like yours no wonder you would turn out like this. One is treacherous and the other one vile and malicious, it's not at all surprising they gave birth to a lawless daughter....you, what are you doing!!"
Kang Yongnian found that he couldn't win her physically and started to attack her verbally.
He felt too stifled and unbalanced.
All the face he had accumulated over the years was completely lost. He was used to being arrogant and unreasonable all his life but it was the first time he had met someone who was even more arrogant and unreasonable than him.
But he who was used to being arrogant completely underestimated the little girl before him assuming all Jiang Ying Yue's previous actions were all but a mere coincidence.
Previously he and his guards had taken the girl lightly and were taken advantage of, other than that the girl's ability was nothing else.
Otherwise, how could a puny hairy girl the size of a pint rival her well-trained guards?
Yes, yes, that was the case. Yes, that had to be the case!
Kang Yongnian refused to accept his defeat and came up with this reasonable excuse for himself.
With this in mind, he was about clarify himself trying to earn back his magnificent image of the Grade-3 revered alchemist that he had lost earlier.
Unfortunately, things didn't go according to calculation, the Old man was too eager to trample others and get back his face that he once again ended up stepping on the land mines stupidly.
" You, stop right there! Are you also trying to rebel? You're too young to know the immensity of heaven and earth, but let me warn you, don't try to provoke the people who you shouldn't otherwise your end wouldn't be much better than your father's." Kang Yongnian spoke in a slight fluster.
Seeing the slender figure walking towards him at an unhurried pace the arrogant Old man seemed to have suddenly remembered the pain he had experienced not long ago.
His face was already terribly pale as cold sweat trickled down his back.
It had to be said, Jiang Ying Yue's kick was ruthless. If Kang Yongnian wasn't a cultivator of Martial Green rank even if he didn't die at least he would have lost half of his half.
Not to mention, despite her anger, Jiang Ying Yue was still sober to just use physical strength, otherwise, one could just imagine Kang Yongnian's miserable state.
However, with how great of a snob he was he refused to show his fear and loss of composure as he yelled at the guards standing by his side, " Catch her! What are you waiting for?!"
He didn't believe that his these two most treasured guards couldn't take down such a pint-size lawless girl.
The Old man showed a triumphant look on his face.
The guards also quickly reacted and rushed but this time they were more prepared and cautious.
" You are a dead meat! Dare to offend our master!" One of the guards snorted and shot to her left while the other moved to her left trying to besiege Jiang Ying Yue from her two sides.
These two were strongest were of the guards team, just from their aura alone they looked cold and formidable.
They looked completely different from the guards Jiang Ying Yue had dealt earlier.
However, despite that the expression on Jiang Ying Yue's didn't change.
Perhaps, she was used seeing strong people like Wei, Wei Mo and Elder Mo after seeing them for a long Jiang Ying Yue's standard had elevated.
She wasn't like before, when she first came here and knew nothing of the world.
Qiu and the Yue Mei guards who stood at the door watching anxiously. Since they had been ordered to wait they didn't dare move recklessly for the fear of causing their master unnecessary trouble.
Fortunately, Yu Hai and others who were going through the period of hell-like training weren't here otherwise, they would have certainly nodded and complimented them for their wise decision.
Their master was not an easy person!
