"Isn't she just a woman?"

Upon hearing Wang Junze's words, Yuan Heng couldn't help but clamor again: "Just a whore from the Phoenix Perch Pavilion, not like I haven't played with her before. Is it worth chopping off my finger for her?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help but change their expression slightly.

Lan Yi's face turned ashen in an instant, seemingly about to lose her footing.

The reputation of the Phoenix Perch Pavilion was indeed not particularly good, but it was still a very famous sect. Now being humiliated by Yuan Heng in such a manner, and in front of so many people, how could they face it?

"Buzz!"

Almost instantly, the sword in Wang Junze's hand suddenly unsheathed, emitting a terrifying sword intent, and his eyes revealed a cold killing intent.

However, before Wang Junze could speak, someone in the crowd suddenly took the initiative to challenge.

"City Lord Yuan, is our Phoenix Perch Pavilion so contemptible in your eyes?"

A very beautiful woman in colorful clothes stepped out from the crowd, walking towards Yuan Shouyi step by step, her face slightly cold, asking coldly.

Pavilion Master of the Phoenix Perch Pavilion!

This time, Yuan Shouyi had invited representatives of all the sects and families near Jubei City to the City Lord's Mansion, including the Phoenix Perch Pavilion.

This Pavilion Master of the Phoenix Perch Pavilion, considering her status, did not arrive immediately at the first moment. In fact, she didn't witness the previous things, but once present, she heard Yuan Heng's words, which naturally angered her.

If it were in private, given her status, she might not have bothered with Yuan Heng even after hearing such words, but now it was different. With so many people watching, if she didn't make any statement, how could the Phoenix Perch Pavilion stand in the future?

More importantly, Yuan Heng's status, although Yuan Heng himself was an insignificant fool, this identity was very different, easily leading people to think that this was the attitude of Yuan Shouyi, the City Lord of Jubei City!

Confronted by the challenge from the Pavilion Master of the Phoenix Perch Pavilion, Yuan Shouyi's expression finally changed!

Idiot!

This nephew was simply an utter fool, provoking Wang Junze was one thing, but who told you to insult the Phoenix Perch Pavilion as well?

"Slap!"

Without any hesitation, Yuan Shouyi raised his hand and delivered a harsh slap to this nephew!

Moreover, the slap was extremely heavy, directly knocking Yuan Heng away, causing him to lose all his teeth.

"Pavilion Master, please do not misunderstand, I have always respected you! The younger generation is ignorant, I will certainly give him a severe punishment!"

Slightly cupping his fists, Yuan Shouyi replied in a deep voice.

"How does the City Lord intend to punish him?"

The Pavilion Master of the Phoenix Perch Pavilion still did not let it rest, coldly asking: "This concerns the reputation of our Phoenix Perch Pavilion, I'm afraid one slap will not be enough to settle this, right?"

Slightly pausing, Yuan Shouyi couldn't help but feel a bit agitated internally.

The event developed to such an extent, also completely beyond his expectations, originally a test between him and Wang Junze, but now it dragged the Phoenix Perch Pavilion into it, making it increasingly difficult for him to manage.

Yuan Heng was naturally of no concern to him, even killing this fool would mean nothing.

But the problem was, in front of so many people, if he really dealt a severe punishment, or even killed this nephew Yuan Heng, where would his face go?

The dignified City Lord of Jubei City couldn't even protect a nephew?

Wouldn't it be a joke if word spread out!

But if he didn't punish severely, the Pavilion Master of the Phoenix Perch Pavilion would unlikely let it go easily. With the impending opening of the relic, if people's hearts were unsettled, it would equally be hard to conclude.

"Isn't Qingxuan also a woman, insignificant in his eyes as well?"

Just as Yuan Shouyi hesitated, a cold voice slowly resonated, completely breaking the balance!

Luo Qingxuan!

This Saintess of the Profound Moon Sword Sect finally appeared.

In a moon-white long dress, veiled in white gauze, just like when she first arrived in Jubei City, Luo Qingxuan's appearance utterly severed Yuan Shouyi's last bit of hesitation!

Bang!

With a sudden grasp of his hand, a thick gush of True Qi instantly exploded, directly lifting Yuan Heng off the ground, and True Qi penetrated into his Dantian, instantly destroying Yuan Heng's meridians, causing him to collapse like a punctured ball, his internal True Qi instantly collapsing!

Yuan Shouyi did not kill Yuan Heng, but he directly crippled his cultivation.

This punishment was extremely harsh!

For a Martial Artist in the Condensing Realm, being crippled of cultivation could be even more painful than death.

"I indulged you too much in the past. Today, I have crippled your cultivation and send you back to Yunling Manor. You are never to step into Jubei City again." Waving his hand, Yuan Shouyi looked coldly at this nephew and said.

At the same time, the guards promptly stepped forward and directly dragged Yuan Heng away.

Yuan Shouyi acted decisively. Having dealt with Yuan Heng, he would not allow anyone to seize a handle on anything, and immediately turning his gaze towards the Pavilion Master of the Phoenix Perch Pavilion, he spoke again: "This matter is indeed due to my poor discipline. I apologize to Pavilion Master Feng."

"Not at all!"

The Pavilion Master of the Phoenix Perch Pavilion hurriedly returned the courtesy.

Her forceful pressuring of Yuan Shouyi to deal with Yuan Heng was merely to maintain the reputation of the Phoenix Perch Pavilion. Now that the purpose was achieved, naturally, she didn't dare to put on airs in front of Yuan Shouyi.

In fact, she was clearly aware that the reason Yuan Shouyi decisively crippled Yuan Heng was not because of her, but because Luo Qingxuan had intervened.

After returning the courtesy to Yuan Shouyi, the Pavilion Master of the Phoenix Perch Pavilion immediately turned to Luo Qingxuan to thank her: "Thank you, Saintess, for speaking out for justice!"

"No need to thank me!"

Shaking her head, Luo Qingxuan gently said: "We are all women, I can't stand such frivolous men."

"City Lord Yuan, let's discuss the main matter."

Sitting down nearby, Luo Qingxuan signaled to stop this topic and directly moved to the main topic.

"Saintess, please wait a moment, today, another guest is coming and should arrive shortly."

With a light laugh, Yuan Shouyi naturally moved past the previous matters, as if nothing had happened, and replied softly.

"Hmm?"

Her eyelids lifted slightly, Luo Qingxuan immediately understood.

Su Yuwei!

In Jubei City, the only person Yuan Shouyi would wait a moment for was this Commandery Princess Changlin.

Although it's been almost a month since she arrived in Jubei City, in reality, Luo Qingxuan and Su Yuwei hadn't crossed paths yet. Originally, she thought they wouldn't meet until the relic opened, but contrary to her expectations, Su Yuwei was actually coming to the City Lord's Mansion today.

In fact, not only Luo Qingxuan, but Wang Junze was also surprised internally.

They didn't make everyone wait long, as Lu Qing and Su Yuwei's figures soon appeared directly in the garden.

"Welcome, Princess Changlin!"

Seeing Su Yuwei instantly, Yuan Shouyi immediately bent down and greeted her.

Unlike Luo Qingxuan, Su Yuwei's status dictated that when she appeared in formal occasions, even if it was Yuan Shouyi, the City Lord of Jubei City, he must greet her. This was dictated by official status, and even if Yuan Shouyi's cultivation was higher than Su Yuwei's, he must bow to her.

"Welcome, Commandery Princess!"

Since Yuan Shouyi paid his respects, naturally, no one else dared to stand idle, and they all bent down to greet her.

In the entire garden, it was only Luo Qingxuan who had no reaction, calmly directing her gaze toward Su Yuwei and meeting the other's eyes.
