Chapter 42: You Robbed Them!!

Tianmen Sword Sect?

Everyone immediately recognized the identity of the mother and her two children. After all, such a significant event had happened in the city that it was known to everyone.

“So, it was you who made so many cultivators disappear in the city!”

At that moment, several students wearing the uniforms of the Vast Academy entered through the door. The leader was Feng Wanqing, but it was a young man with a haughty expression who spoke.

As soon as the young man entered, he said loudly, “You cannot buy her items at the Wandao Chamber of Commerce because they are all stolen goods! Recently, thirty to forty people have gone missing in the city, and I suspect she is the one who robbed them! She even destroyed their bodies to eliminate evidence! This is an extremely heinous crime!”

As soon as he said this, everyone’s gaze towards Feng Siyue changed.

No matter how desperate one is for spirit stones, one should not rob other cultivators!

The person who had just spoken was Jiang Lintao, the young master of the city. His words were certainly not to be doubted.

“Oh my God, Han Yue, how could you do such a horrifying thing? It’s terrifying!”

Feng Wanqing, with a shocked expression, covered her mouth as if she had been greatly frightened.

“Junior Sister Feng, she might be inherently like this! Before, she scammed ten thousand high-grade spirit stones from Xiao Chuhan and then extorted a large sum from the Vice Principal. She is absolutely crazy for money! Such a person must not be allowed to stay in Jiaoyang City! Our Jiaoyang City does not welcome such a woman!”

Young master Jiang Lintao said sternly.

Feng Siyue narrowed her eyes and gave a cold laugh.

“People like me?” Feng Siyue’s expression turned serious. “What’s wrong with people like me? When the demonic energy leaked from the sword tomb, it was people like me who took the lead in suppressing it with the Heavenly Mystery Sword. Where were you then? A coward hiding in his shell dares to question me! Who gave you the courage?”

Jiang Lintao was furious. “How dare you! Do you know who I am? I am the young master of Jiaoyang City. With just one order from me, you will be kicked out of Jiaoyang City!”

Feng Wanqing watched the scene unfold, a sly smile creeping onto her lips. It was worth the effort to have someone keep an eye on Feng Siyue. The thought of Feng Siyue being humiliatingly thrown out of Jiaoyang City brought her great satisfaction.

“Pfft!”

Unexpectedly, the woman not only wasn’t afraid but also scoffed as if she had heard a funny joke.

“If I remember correctly, when my master, the Sword God, was still alive, the city lord of Jiaoyang City used to carry his shoes, didn’t he? A descendant of a shoe-carrying servant, do you think you deserve respect? Ha! Daring to expel the disciple of the Sword God, that’s really laughable!”

These words caused Jiang Lintao’s face to turn as black as the bottom of a pot, his hands trembling with anger.

Everyone around them gasped in disbelief, their mouths wide open.

The city lord was once a servant of the Sword God and even carried his shoes?

The Sword God had passed away hundreds of years ago. People only knew that the city lord had a close relationship with him back then, but they didn’t expect it to be this kind of “relationship.” No wonder the city lord never mentioned the Sword God afterward.

“Only a master can command a servant; a servant has no right to command a master. If you want to expel me from the city, then let’s settle who truly owns Jiaoyang City!”

Feng Siyue’s lazy voice echoed throughout the hall, making Jiang Lintao’s face turn even darker.

Others might not know, but he did.

Back when the Tianmen Sword Sect was at its peak, there was no Vast Academy yet, and Jiaoyang City was originally part of the sect. His father had been a good servant, managing the city’s affairs under the Sword God’s orders. It was only after the Sword God’s death that his father officially became the city lord.

If they were to dig into these past events, it would only embarrass the Jiang family.

Jiang Lintao didn’t expect that this woman, despite her young age, knew so many secrets!

With a grim expression, he said, “Don’t make things up. Even if we don’t talk about expelling you, let’s talk about these stolen goods. You’ve killed so many cultivators and committed all sorts of atrocities. Even if I don’t drive you out, the people in the city won’t tolerate you! Don’t even think about the Wandao Chamber of Commerce buying your stolen goods!”

“That’s not true!” At this moment, a middle-aged man came out from inside.

“Manager Bai!”

Manager Bai didn’t look at the others but smiled warmly at Feng Siyue and the two children.

“Miss Han Yue, we will not only buy your items but buy them at a high price!”

Manager Bai was the highest-ranking official of the Wandao Chamber of Commerce in Jiaoyang City.

The grand auction held earlier was organized by him.

Feng Wanqing’s expression changed when she saw him come out. She still remembered how Manager Bai had singled her out and shown favor to Feng Siyue.

At the auction, Manager Bai had publicly pointed out the difference between her and Feng Siyue, declaring the latter a VIP guest of the Wandao Chamber of Commerce.

Clenching her fists to suppress her anger, she pretended to be weak and said,

“Manager Bai, Miss Han Yue’s treasures are all stolen goods. Dozens of people have gone missing in the city, and it’s possible they’ve all been killed by her. If you buy her items, won’t it be like aiding a tyrant?”

“Who says I killed and robbed people?” Feng Siyue looked calmly at Feng Wanqing. “Did you see it with your own eyes?”

“I… I didn’t see it, but I can guess!”

“Unfortunately, you guessed wrong. These items were willingly given to me by them to help rebuild my sect. How could I refuse such kindness? If you don’t believe me, I can call a few people over to ask.”

Feng Siyue said with a slight smile. As soon as she finished speaking, a gust of wind blew several big men into the room.

They looked extremely disheveled, their clothes loose without even a belt, as if they had just been robbed.

As soon as they saw Feng Siyue and her children, they knelt down on the ground with a thud. “Great Aunt, we will never dare to steal the Heavenly Mystery Sword again. Please, have mercy on us and don’t hold us accountable!”

Everyone suddenly realized that these men had tried to steal the Heavenly Mystery Sword!

The Heavenly Mystery Sword suppressed demonic energy, how could they be so selfish?

Not killing them was already an act of kindness by Miss Han Yue!

Feng Wanqing furrowed her brows deeply. How could this be? Weren’t these people missing? Why didn’t Feng Siyue kill them?

Feng Siyue looked down at them and said calmly, “Someone suspects me of killing and robbing. Tell me, were these items willingly donated by you?”

The men nodded hurriedly. “Willingly! We are willing!”

“Yes, yes, yes, we are very willing! It is our honor to contribute to the Tianmen Sword Sect!”

They were terrified, thinking about how they had just escaped the city, only to end up back at the door of the Wandao Chamber of Commerce as if they were haunted.

They wouldn’t dare say no even if Feng Siyue asked them to rob houses now.

“Good, you have quite the awareness. Even rotten wood can be carved. Go and be good people from now on.”
