Chapter 217 Gossip
Tao Zi looked at his wry smile and said calmly: "Come in and talk."

Cheng Anyue coughed a few times and walked in slowly.

He took a step away from Xiu and took out the insulation note. Before using it, he ordered: "Xiao Qi, stay outside."

A reply came from the void. Xi Jing and the others were startled, but they quickly pretended to be calm.

Cheng Anyue said solemnly: "Anyway, I'm very grateful that you didn't hurt my uncle just now."

Han Yueshan sneered: "It can't be hurt. A group of people are surrounding him."

He cast his eyes on the Flower Monk and said gently: "This one must be a powerful person in the consecration stage, right?"

Xi Jing said in surprise: "So what if he is? He can't compare to your Cheng family's great cause."

Cheng Anyue smiled helplessly and said, "When my uncle came here today, the monks he brought with him were only at the Revolving Stage. I believe you can notice this."

The flower monk spoke abruptly: "There are more people in the dark than just Xuanzhaoqi."

He did not feel any embarrassment at being exposed, and continued: "This time, our Cheng family can't help you, but uncle is the head of the Cheng family after all, and we can't stop him."

Li Xiu asked calmly: "Are you here specifically to talk nonsense to us?"

"Of course not." Cheng Anyue coughed a few times and said, "We can send you out and temporarily avoid the pursuit of Xulanmen."

Tao Zi calmly asked: "For the time being?"

He stated: "You killed the fifth elder's beloved disciple. It is impossible for him to let you go, and it is even less possible for your uncle to protect you, so it can only be temporary."

She asked again: "What is the origin of this Xulan Gate?"

"The master of the Xulan Sect is only in the consecration stage, but he specializes in formations. He can defeat monks in the heartbeat stage by using formations."

Cheng Anyue paused for a moment and continued: "That's nothing. The main reason is that Xulanmen mainly focuses on formations and spells, and they have a wide range of friends."

Tao Zi sat there and looked at him quietly. He felt uncomfortable and asked, "What do you think, Miss Tao?"

"The Cheng family, one of the four great aristocratic families, would be afraid of a Xulanmen?"

Cheng Anyue fell silent immediately, and after a while he whispered: "To be honest with you, my Cheng family suffered a great disaster decades ago."

Zhao Xue said coldly: "You don't have to hide this. We all know it from Grandma Huang."

He smiled bitterly and then said: "The other three major families have at least two Nascent Soul monks, but we only have one, and there are even fewer Golden Core monks from our own clan, and most of them are guest monks. Many times, It doesn’t act as freely as the other three.”

Li Xiu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Then how did you become one of the four great families?"

"The original aristocratic family suffered a disaster, both Nascent Souls are gone, and the reputation of the Li family, which is comparable in strength to ours, is not very good."

Xijing said calmly: "It turns out that he was the one who picked up the position. No wonder he behaves like this."

Cheng Anyue could only smile bitterly.

Tao Zi asked abruptly: "Do you, the Cheng family, really dare not make an enemy of Xulanmen?"

He did not answer directly, only said: "We have a lot of concerns."

She smiled: "It's just that after weighing the pros and cons, I feel that giving up on us is the best option. Why bother telling us so much here."

Cheng Anyue lowered his gaze and said with a wry smile: "It's our fault. To prevent a long night and many dreams, I will arrange for you to leave tomorrow. How about it?"

Xi Jing almost burst into laughter and said, "It's not that good. It took me eight lifetimes to have anything to do with your Cheng family."

"Miss Tao, what do you think?"

Tao Zi nodded slowly and said, "We need false identities, do you understand?" "Okay, I will take care of it." He thought for a moment and then said, "If uncle changes his mind, maybe you can Show up above board.”

As soon as he left, Xi Jing gritted her teeth and said, "It's obviously not our fault. It was that person who started trouble first. Why should we live in secret?"

"I don't have enough strength, there's nothing I can do."

Li Xiu hurriedly took out the isolation note: "Aunts, please wait a moment."

Xi Jing sat there angrily, the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became.

Tao Zi reassured: "It will be solved."

Flower Monk held the teacup in his hand and said seriously: "Fellow Taoist Taoist, which Taoist realm can you compare with?"

She shook her head, looked at Flower Monk, and said, "I don't know. If you have time, let's compare?"

"Okay." Flower Monk nodded, "If we can reach the heartbeat stage, we will go to Xulanmen for a walk to ensure that they are obedient."

Zhao Xue hesitated and said: "Didn't you say that their sect leader's formation is very strong?"

Li Xiu smiled slightly and said: "You don't understand this. In a sect like this, it is unlikely that the sect leader will be an enemy of a monk in the heartbeat stage for a disciple, unless he wants to be involved in danger himself. We only need to deal with the so-called Just the fifth elder."

Tao Zi also followed: "It really doesn't work. If one of those disciples comes and kills one, he can always kill them and make them afraid."

"Wouldn't there be a problem with reputation?"

She smiled slightly and said, "Just strike first."

In the early morning of the next day, a rumor spread like crazy in Tiancheng: The Cheng family bullied the weak and feared the strong, and actually helped other monks bully the weak who were kind to the family.

The words "ungrateful" and "bullying" are mentioned repeatedly among some gossips, even the aunt who married into the Zhou family has heard of them.

Cheng Anping was so angry that he slapped the jade pendant in his hand on the table. The maid beside him whispered to comfort: "Don't worry, girl, the eldest son will take care of everything."

She took a deep breath, turned back to the dignified and elegant young lady, and said, "Send a message to my father. If you don't want me to be unable to hold my head high in the Li family, treat those people well."

"Yes."

Cheng Anping held the jade pendant and rubbed it repeatedly, closing his eyes slightly and thinking.

Back then, it was the main branch that spared no effort to protect the side branch members like them. Speaking of which, it was indeed a favor to them.

But not only did they neglect to find the survivors of the original branch, they also helped outsiders bully the monks who brought the news.

If this matter falls into the ears of others, I'm afraid that some dirty guesses will come out, especially from the ancestors...

The reputation of the Xulan Sect was not good to begin with, so instead of taking advantage of this opportunity to distance themselves from each other, they rushed to make good friends.Why is my father so confused!

I'm afraid some of the other side branches may be quarrelsome. No matter how ruthless the main branch of the Cheng family is, it's not like they can't be replaced.

No, she had to contact her elder brother immediately to see if there was any chance of redress.

At this time, the gossip also fell into someone's ears. He slowly poured himself a pot of tea: "In my opinion, you may have chosen the wrong branch."

The monk in white clothes next to him smiled slightly and said: "The younger generation is still pretty good."

"Do you want to take care of it?"

"Go back and take a look, and find a new head of the house who can save you worries. He is too indecisive."

 Don't rush to read the next chapter, it will take a long time to replace it.
