From the entrance of Qian Manor, a stunning woman in a blue cheongsam gracefully walked over, revealing a section of her icy, snow-white leg with each swaying step.
Zeng Zifang’s charm captivated the entire scene!
Despite the current weather, Cultivators were not afraid of the cold, yet she dressed like that. Qian Duoduo was truly impressed.
For the sake of making a striking impression, women could traverse through spring, summer, autumn, and winter in their attire.
Qian Duoduo quickly lowered his head, sighing internally, “What a temptress.”
The ten Black-Robed Guardians flying in the air immediately lost their balance, one by one falling to the ground, with half of them stumbling and landing on their faces.
Above the Appraisal Fair, Elder Ma’s body also couldn’t help but drop a foot, but fortunately, his cultivation was profound, and he immediately stopped his descent, no longer daring to look at Zeng Zifang.
“Grand Elder.”
Elder Ma’s horse-like face flushed slightly as he nodded diagonally towards Zeng Zifang.
Zeng Zifang didn't return the greeting. “Elder Ma, when did you build a new prison?”
Elder Ma was stunned. “No, I didn’t.”
“Oh, Elder Ma, you’re planning to arrest five or six hundred Disciples from my Nose Peak in one go. I thought you had built a new prison and wanted to fill it up quickly.”
Another hint of red appeared on Elder Ma’s face.
“Oh my, this Magic Treasure is fantastic!”
Zeng Zifang took two steps forward, exclaiming in admiration at the Magic Treasure hanging on Qian Duoduo’s wooden pole.
“As expected of craftsmanship from the Upper Road! The workmanship, the materials, the firing—everything is absolutely superb!”
Her eyes shifted, and she said to the Disciples squatting on the ground, “The first person you should thank is me. It was I who asked Qian Duoduo to bring out these satisfactory Magic Treasures for everyone to trade. I didn’t expect him to be so thoughtful, giving our Nose Peak an exclusive event first.”
As Zeng Zifang spoke, her eyes flowed, and her body stretched, leaving the five hundred-plus Disciples on the field dumbfounded.
Saliva actually dripped from Guan Tusheng’s mouth.
“Cough!” Elder Ma lightly coughed. “Elder Zeng, we are currently handling a case.”
“Handling a case? What case?” Zeng Zifang’s face rapidly cooled, turning from sunny to rainy.
“Qian Duoduo illegally sold goods and attacked a Protector from the Sect Law Enforcement Division. The Disciples present are implicated and are all considered traitors to the Sect.”
Elder Ma’s lips flapped like iron sheets, still holding onto the grave accusation of treason.
“Illegally selling goods? Haha, haha, Elder Ma, you’re so amusing! This is the coldest joke I’ve heard all year!”
Zeng Zifang chuckled lightly, holding her slender waist, her snow-like skin appearing and disappearing, making the squatting Disciples’ eyes go wide.
“He has a spirit commerce certificate. Not to mention this Lower Road, even on the Upper Road, he is compliant and legal,” Zeng Zifang said with a helpless expression.
Elder Ma’s mouth remained firm. “What he said, I need to verify.”
Zeng Zifang’s eyebrows immediately shot up. “You have the right to verify, but you have no right to accuse someone of treason and arrest them for prison before verification. You are derelict in your duty! You are abusing your power!”
“He attacked the Protector first!”
Elder Ma pointed at the Black-Robed Guardian on the platform.
“Attacked first? Qian Duoduo, you tell us.” Zeng Zifang looked at Qian Duoduo.
“I have video evidence. He didn’t understand the spirit commerce certificate, refused to listen to explanations, and made the first move.”
Qian Duoduo handed the Jade Slip to Zeng Zifang.
To prevent theft, robbery, and trouble, Qian Duoduo had placed video recording Jade Slips at ten points both inside and outside the Appraisal Fair.
Zeng Zifang took the Jade Slip, a hint of admiration in her eyes. “Elder Ma, do you have any explanation?”
Elder Ma looked at the Black-Robed Guardian on the platform, as if blaming him for his inefficiency.
Before doing something bad, one must first check if there are any surveillance cameras.
“You groundlessly insulted and injured my Nose Peak Disciples, disrupted my peak’s Appraisal Fair, and arbitrarily condemned my peak’s Disciples for the grave crime of treason, Elder Ma, tell me, how will today’s matter be resolved?”
“Or, how about the two of us and these five or six hundred Disciples all take a trip to the Sect Leader’s place, so that the infamous reputation of treason won’t stick?”
Zeng Zifang stepped on a Ruyi Scepter, and with each sentence she spoke, she pressed one step closer to Elder Ma in mid-air.
With each step she pressed closer, the panic on Elder Ma’s face deepened.
His eyes looked up towards the cliff.
Following his gaze, Zeng Zifang’s face showed a cold smile, and she reached out to grab Elder Ma’s sleeve.
