Chapter 288: Conflict escalates, a double entendre

Purple Cloud Palace.

Yuan Kexuan heard the hidden meaning in Ji Hongluan's words. She just wanted to maintain the commanding heights of seniority and then make her surrender.

But as a hexagonal warrior, she sometimes explodes, and even the master cannot suppress her, let alone a "master's wife" who has not yet married.

If you really count it, she is the queen, so the one who should be humble and submissive should be the sect leader in front of her.

But in order to save her master's face, she did not attack immediately. Instead, she thought about taking care of her master's face and said patiently:

"I know that the Sect Master loves me and we are like family, but you are the Sect Master after all, so there should be some boundaries!"

Hearing this, Situ Qingqing and Ruan Yuer felt as if there were flashes of swords and sabers passing through the hall, which were very sharp and would hurt anyone who touched them!

The senior sister is so domineering, and disciples of Ziyun Peak should be like this!

Xue Jinli felt a sense of longing in his heart, and fantasized about when he could be like the senior sister!

If it was the eldest sister, she would definitely not be afraid in front of the master...

As for Qin Keyan, she was convinced by the senior sister. After all, the Qing'ai in the senior sister's hand was no pushover and it hurt a lot when she hit someone.

Liu Beifeng and Tushan Yaoyao both stopped talking.

On one side is the senior sister, and on the other side is the sect leader. It would not be appropriate to help either side.

Ji Hongluan's eyes moved, and a dangerous arc flashed across them. She knew that Ziyun Peak's first disciple was very difficult to deal with. After all, her deeds were widely circulated in Qingming Sect, but she didn't expect her to be so difficult.

She had clearly given in half a step, but Yuan Kexuan did not give her any face at all, and it was obvious that, leaving Liu Beifeng and Yaoyao aside, the other disciples of Ziyun Peak all followed Yuan Kexuan's lead.

If she were to marry Xu Lang and take over Ziyun Peak, she would probably have a hard time because these disciples did not regard her as their master's wife, but as a competitor!

No, no matter what, I have to subdue Yuan Kexuan today...

"Xuan'er, Master's Wife should be able to call you that."

Ji Hongluan took a step back to advance, with a gentle smile on her face, and said:

"I know you have a cold personality and don't like to communicate with others, but I am your master's wife after all, so I shouldn't be so distant!"

She no longer tried to hide it and directly used her seniority to pressure others. Anyway, the entire Qingming Sect knew about her relationship with Xu Lang.

If Yuan Kexuan bowed her head now and called her "Master's Wife", she might still tolerate him, but if she didn't bow her head and still resisted to the end, then don't blame her for treating him as a traitor.

"Master, please respect yourself!"

Yuan Kexuan's bottom line is here. She has a close relationship with her master, and she has even spent much more time with her master than the sect master. So no matter how you look at it, as the first to enter the sect, she should not be inferior to Ji Hongluan. She looked at Ji Hongluan and said calmly:

"You haven't even entered the sect yet, so you can't be considered my master's wife!"

"Master, what the eldest sister said is right. You haven't married the master yet, so how can you be considered the master's wife!"

With the senior sister taking the lead, Situ Qingqing became bolder and joined in.

"Xiao Qing, how can you say that about the Sect Master? After all, she is still the Sect Master!"

Ruan Yuer seemed to be scolding Situ Qingqing, but in fact, she focused on the word "master".

They didn't want Ji Hongluan to be associated with the words "Master's Wife". If that happened, they, the rebellious disciples, would suffer a lot.

"As the head of a sect, why do you have to embarrass my senior sister?"

Xue Jinli thought that he and the senior sister were of the same kind, both had attempted to attack the master but failed, so they were naturally close in their positions, so it was natural for him to speak up for the senior sister.

Qin Kewan simply said straight to the point: "Master, if you want to use your power to pressure others, don't say I won't comply. The Immortal Mountain behind me will not comply with you either!"

Her own cultivation was not enough, so she could only bring up the Immortal Mountain and use it as a banner to intimidate Ji Hongluan.

Every one of them is a traitor... Ji Hongluan's chest heaved, and her expression was a little cold. She hadn't even used her power to overpower them, but this group of traitors were already throwing dirty water on her. If she really used her power to overpower them, she was afraid that these traitors in Ziyun Peak would regard her as an enemy in the future.

"You're kidding. Xu Lang and I are in love with each other. I know that he dotes on you disciples very much. As his Taoist partner, how can I use my power to bully others? I can't wait to take good care of you!"

Ji Hongluan looked at the "rebels" on the field with a smile on her face. This was a war between women. If she used force to suppress it, she would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage. These disciples of Ziyun Peak in front of her were all gifted people. Maybe they would surpass her in cultivation in a few years. Therefore, suppressing them with force was not advisable. She could only make them convinced temporarily.

What she needs to do now is to convince these "rebels". She doesn't need all of them, just one or two will be enough to stand on her side.

Tushan Yaoyao and Liu Beifeng don't count. One is too young and the other is too soft-hearted, so they can't be of much help to her.

"As for the protection, there is no need for the Sect Master to worry about it. Master and I can do it!"

On the issue of sovereignty, Yuan Kexuan refused to give in and said with a cold expression.

?

Situ Qingqing and Ruan Yuer, who had just joined in, suddenly stopped talking, looked at each other, and a strange look flashed in their eyes.

"Big sister, we just helped you, and it's fine if you're not grateful, but you actually want to be like this sect leader and ride on our heads to be your master's wife???"

Thinking of this, the two people who had originally leaned towards Yuan Kexuan remained neutral at the same time.

Xue Jinli still recognized the senior sister. After all, the senior sister was just talking big and didn't take any real action. Unlike Situ Qingqing and Ruan Yuer, they took advantage of the situation and still acted like a good kid. Now that they were facing a powerful enemy, they were still thinking about themselves and not being united against the enemy!

She was a little angry, but she didn't dare to show it, because she still needed the help of these two "good senior sisters" to become a master!

"Master, there are too many disciples in Qingming Sect, and you certainly can't take care of them all. We at Ziyun Peak won't bother you, as you have only our Senior Sister."

秦可婉虽然被大师姐揍很多次，但可能是因为爱之深，责之欠，她知晓大师姐是为了自己好，加上同食一颗灵果的份上，所以理所当然的要为大师姐说话。

Ji Hongluan was not angry when she heard Qin Kewan's words. Instead, she glanced at Situ Qingqing and Ruan Yuer, knowing that a small part of her goal had been achieved, and said calmly:

"Xuan'er is only at the Spiritual Transformation Realm after all. If she only cares for you, then won't she stop practicing? A disciple should do his or her duty well, not cross the line, and practice well. That is the disciple's duty, don't you agree? Xuan'er!"

A double entendre…

Even though Ji Hongluan mentioned Yuan Kexuan by name, the other disciples of Ziyun Peak felt that they were being blamed. After all, they all crossed the line, and one of them even stood on both sides of the line, trying not to cross it.

"Don't worry about this, Sect Master. I can still share the burden of Ziyun Peak!"

Yuan Kexuan said with a slightly cold tone.
