“I’m afraid this will incite everyone’s displeasure. In such a case, even your Xu family might not be able to shield you,” someone cautioned with a stern countenance.
Jinwei Land adhered to its own strict regulations. Unless under exceptional circumstances, women were not permitted in this place, making her presence a blemish upon the Cangkong Pavilion. It was no wonder that these individuals were aggrieved.
“I’ll promptly escort her out,” Xu Yongnian declared, hastening to act.
Yet, Gu Chaoyan, far from modest in her retort, challenged him, “Xu Yongnian, did you pilfer my low-level cultivation bead? Return it to its rightful owner.”
“A cultivation bead? ‘Steal’ it?”
“Women have no claim to possess such an item; it rightfully belongs to Yongnian. You’re a woman. Depart from this place promptly, or we won’t hesitate to take more severe measures.” The Cangkong Pavilion’s dignitaries wore expressions of disdain, treating her as if she were an inconsequential insect, easily swatted away.
In Jinwei Land, a woman’s life held little value, and whether she remained within the realm of the living was of minimal consequence.
“It is mine, and I possess every qualification to retain it. What makes you presume that all valuable possessions must fall into the hands of men like you?” Gu Chaoyan exhibited no restraint.
“Your intention is merely to assert that women lack the potential for cultivation, correct? However, it appears that women don’t lack that potential. I possess both the talent and the opportunity to acquire a low-level cultivation bead. Can the same be said for you men?” Gu Chaoyan’s words dripped with sarcasm, as though she viewed them as inept individuals striving to subdue more talented individuals, stifling them from showcasing their true potential.
Well…
It was evident that her defiance had incensed these men, who held the utmost respect for the established regulations.
“Xu Yongnian, today, for your own good, you cannot save your sister from her actions. She is defying the principles, veering off the path of virtue and Dao!” Someone shouted vociferously, their anger apparent.
Xu Yongnian sensed that something was amiss.
Ever since the incident, their family had entrusted her upbringing to the governess, successfully steering her away from these ideas.
But now, she was spiraling into recklessness.
At home, the Xu family could protect her, even it she created a scene. However, in this place, she was beyond protection.
“Xu Xunnan, cease this foolishness! Persist, and you’ll endanger your life,” Xu Yongnian pleaded.
“Return the low-level cultivation bead to me. Your Xu family has relentlessly stifled me, even endangering my life. If I don’t make a commotion, will I be allowed to exist? If I insist on making a scene, I won’t return to your Xu family. Today, I’m here to reclaim what’s rightfully mine!” Xu Xunnan disregarded the onlookers, lunging at Xu Yongnian and wresting the low-level cultivation bead from his grasp.
Not content with just taking the bead, Gu Chaoyan resorted to delivering a few punches and slaps to vent her pent-up fury upon Xu Yongnian.
The nobles in the Cangkong Pavilion moved in to restrain her, their intentions clearly directed toward subduing this unruly woman.
However, they were unable to apprehend her; not only did she evade capture, but she also left some of them injured in the process.
“She has indeed cultivated! Not only that, she harmed her own brother. A woman like her cannot be allowed to live. We must report this to the Imperial Court and have her apprehended! What purpose do women serve in cultivating? After achieving cultivation, even her own brother is her victim. They are utterly unworthy of pursuing cultivation,” another individual shouted vehemently, expressing their dissatisfaction.
Meanwhile, Gu Chaoyan, before departing, delivered a resounding slap to another individual who had been attempting to argue. The impact sent the individual tumbling, face-first..
