Qing Xuan tried his best to hold back, but his spiritual power still ran amok uncontrollably.
Ji Yunxi grabbed his wrist. "Qing Xuan, calm down."
But Qing Xuan just shook off her hand. "I can't bear it any longer! These people are just too much!"
Ji Yunxi turned her head and fixed her gaze on the girl who had stepped forward to speak.
Only then did she notice the girl's difference from the others.
All the others were dressed in blue shirts, with simple hair buns adorned with either green or white hairpins. But this girl had a profusion of hair accessories. Besides the blue shirt, she also wore an indigo waistband embroidered with gold thread, looking extremely luxurious.
This kind of dressing style was undoubtedly meant to show her uniqueness. It seemed that her identity was no ordinary one.
"Once we've confirmed the master's identity, we'll surely teach them a lesson!"
"Pfft!" Hearing this, the girl burst out laughing. "Did you all hear that? They said they'll teach me a lesson."
"I know you're the eldest miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion in Southern Yan, but so what? This is the Dream Elegance Pavilion. Don't tell me you think you can become the pavilion master just because you're engaged to our vice - pavilion master?"
Her tone was full of mockery, and the others also burst into laughter.
Ji Yunxi wasn't angry. Instead, she sat back down and used her spiritual power to control the teapot to pour herself a cup of tea.
Since no matter what she said, they wouldn't believe her anyway, she might as well stop explaining. Everything would be clear once Lu Shu came back.
Unexpectedly, not getting the reaction she wanted and seeing Ji Yunxi so calm, the girl got angry. She drew her sword and pointed it at Ji Yunxi. "Who allowed you to sit down!"
Qing Xuan's eyes turned from black to blue. With a wave of his hand, the girl's sword was sent flying to the side.
Seeing this, Ji Yunxi said nothing. Before, she had held Qing Xuan back because this Dream Elegance Pavilion was also hers, and there was no need for infighting. But it didn't mean she could tolerate someone being so disrespectful to her.
"You... Who do you think you are! How dare you touch me!"
Saying so, she immediately pointed her sword at Qing Xuan. But when she saw Qing Xuan's blue eyes, she suddenly felt a bit nervous.
A young man beside her reached out and grabbed her. "Wei Wei, don't be impulsive."
"Let go of me!"
"Wei Wei! Ji Yunxi is, after all, the vice - pavilion master's fiancée. This spiritual beast is her contracted one. As the saying goes, when you beat a dog, you have to look at its master, right?"
Only then did the girl angrily put down her hand, but her eyes still stared fixedly at Qing Xuan.
Qing Xuan was also angry. Who was a dog? He was a black bird!
"Who are you calling a dog?"
His tone wasn't full of anger. Seeing this, the young man immediately got excited, thinking that Qing Xuan was afraid of him.
"Who else but you? Whoever answers is the one. Even if you've recognized a master, as a man, you don't need to keep shouting 'master' all day long, do you?"
"You have low spiritual power and no spiritual beast, so you naturally can't understand."
"You!"
The two of them argued non - stop, but most of the time it was Qing Xuan giving the young man a one - sided scolding. Ji Yunxi never worried that Qing Xuan would lose an argument, so she just calmly sipped her tea.
Seeing that the young man was about to lose the argument, the girl turned her spearhead towards Ji Yunxi again.
"Miss Ji, maybe you don't know that our vice - pavilion master already has a sweetheart. Marrying you is just a last - resort move. Everyone in our Dream Elegance Pavilion knows about this."
"Right, right. The vice - pavilion master has already said that he has a sweetheart."
"Exactly. If I were you, I'd give up voluntarily!"
"She's so persistent and even made us go find the vice - pavilion master. Could it be that the vice - pavilion master has already abandoned her?"
"I think so. Hahaha!"
Ji Yunxi slightly raised her eyes. She thought that if she hadn't recovered her memory, she might really have been deceived by these people.
Wasn't that so - called sweetheart of Feng Xingzhi herself?
She glanced at them calmly. When had the Dream Elegance Pavilion become like this? They didn't even know the basic etiquette of hospitality.
Thinking that Ji Yunxi's silence meant she was hit by her words, the girl added another sentence. "Don't think too highly of yourself. Even if the vice - pavilion master marries you, he won't treat you as his wife."
But this time, Ji Yunxi didn't even raise her head. It was as if the other girl was acting a monologue, and nothing had anything to do with her.
When had this young girl ever suffered such grievances? It was like punching at cotton. No matter what she said, Ji Yunxi didn't seem to react.
Getting extremely angry for a moment, she drew her sword and wanted to fight again.
This time, Ji Yunxi looked up at her. Just for an instant, the young girl broke out in a cold sweat all over her body.
That look in her eyes made it seem as if she was already a dead thing. Even the hand holding the sword began to tremble slightly.
"You said Feng Xingzhi has a sweetheart and won't treat me like a wife, right?"
The young girl forced herself to be brave. "Yes!"
Ji Yunxi let out a snort of laughter. "Well, in that case, I'll report this to the emperor. I also want to see if Prince Feng will be reprimanded for defying the imperial edict."
"You! How can you be so vicious just because you can't get what you want!"
"Is this considered vicious?" Ji Yunxi retorted. "Then what are you all? Even if he's just marrying me out of necessity, aren't you afraid that by revealing this matter, his situation will get even worse? Compared to me, you all are the ones who are harming him, aren't you?"
Hearing this, everyone suddenly felt a bit embarrassed and timidly didn't dare to answer.
"You! Stop talking nonsense. If you want to fight, then fight!"
Ji Yunxi shook her head and sat back down. "You can't beat me. If I kill you, I'll have to trouble A Zhi to deal with it. It's annoying."
Suddenly, there was a "slap" sound beside her. Qing Xuan slapped the young man in the face.
"Insulting the master. Die."
As soon as he said the word "die", everyone heard it immediately. They didn't care about Ji Yunxi anymore and immediately surrounded the young man, looking at Qing Xuan with hostility.
At this moment, Qing Xuan had lost his patience. The young man had actually said that if Ji Yunxi was abandoned by the vice - pavilion master, she shouldn't come crying to the Dream Elegance Pavilion.
The blue in Qing Xuan's eyes gradually turned scarlet, making everyone tremble with fear.
They originally thought this might just be an ordinary spiritual beast, but now it seemed that it was far more than that!
At this critical moment, a voice came from outside the door. "The young master is back!"
Seeing that they had someone to back them up, everyone immediately looked at Qing Xuan and Ji Yunxi triumphantly, looking as if they were going to teach them a lesson.
Lu Shu walked in with a gloomy face. Everyone immediately bowed and shouted in unison. "Greetings to the young master."
Seeing this, Qing Xuan immediately let out a snort. The real pavilion master, his own master, was sitting here being wronged, yet this person who was just acting as the manager had such a grand entrance.
Although Lu Shu wasn't Ji Yunxi's spiritual beast, when he looked at her at this moment, he could feel her emotions - the pavilion master was angry!
"What happened?"
His gaze fell on the young girl who was clearly standing at the front. He reached out and pinched her chin. "What did you do?"
The girl's heart skipped a beat. The young master's attitude was clearly a bit strange?
Before she could speak, the young man who had been slapped and was lying on the side started shouting. "Miss Ji from the Prime Minister's Mansion is making a ruckus in the Dream Elegance Pavilion, relying on the fact that she's the vice - pavilion master's fiancée!"
