In the distance, Hua Siyun learned what had happened and immediately rushed towards the female dormitory.
Li Jiuge was in the garden, admiring the flowers and teasing the birds when she saw Hua Siyun running in in a hurry. As soon as she saw Li Jiuge, she pounced over.
"Where's Ji Yunxi?" Her tone was urgent, as if something serious had happened.
Li Jiuge was puzzled. "Yunxi is in the room. What do you want with her?"
Hua Siyun frowned. "Something's wrong! Sang Qingzhou was beaten up by Ji Yunyi. Now everyone has gone to Chaoyun Hall, and they've sent someone to call Ji Yunxi!"
Li Jiuge was shocked. "What are you talking about?! How could Yunxi be involved with Master Ronghua..."
"Stop talking nonsense! Of course I know it's fake. I'm saying we should hurry up and find someone to help her figure out a way!"
Li Jiuge didn't argue and quickly ran towards the courtyard.
Hua Siyun watched Li Jiuge's back and took a deep breath. Although she didn't like Ji Yunxi, it didn't mean that a bug like Sang Qingzhou could slander her reputation like this.
Moreover, she knew that even before the creation of the divine world, Immortal Master Ronghua had already taken a fancy to Ji Yunxi.
As a princess, she disdained to compete with her rival in love in such a way.
Ji Yunxi was in the room, flipping through the sword manual of the Nine - Heavens Round - Instrument Sword while gesturing with her other hand.
Suddenly, there was a series of urgent knocks on the door. "Yunxi! Hurry up and come out. Something big has happened."
Hearing Li Jiuge's voice, Ji Yunxi quickly got off the couch, put on her shoes, and opened the door. "Jiuge? What's going on?"
"Yunxi, Master Bai Youmu wants you and your cousin to go there quickly. I'm not sure about the details."
Seeing that there were still some people craning their necks to peek around, and most of their looks were not kind, Ji Yunxi slightly turned her head and gave them a cold look. Everyone was startled by her look and quickly retracted their heads.
Retracting her gaze, Ji Yunxi didn't dare to delay and quickly followed Li Jiuge.
Hua Siyun had already left, and Li Jiuge couldn't explain clearly. It wasn't until they reached Chaoyun Hall that Ji Yunxi still didn't understand what had happened.
The hall was full of people. She found it strange. She had just been in the room reading the sword manual for an afternoon, but it seemed that everything had changed.
Ji Yunyi, Sang Qingzhou, and Gu Yiyuan were all kneeling on the ground. Bai Youmu was sitting on the throne looking at them.
When he saw Ji Yunxi coming, Bai Youmu suppressed his anger. "Where's Feng Xingzhi?"
Ji Yunxi was confused. "Disciple doesn't know."
"Go and find him again. You all wait. Master Ronghua will be here soon."
Ji Yunxi glanced at Li Jiuge, full of confusion. Why was Master Ronghua involved?
Li Jiuge also wasn't very clear about the relationship between this and Master Ronghua and could only show her confusion.
Ji Yunyi glanced at his sister and clenched his fists tightly. This troublemaker, Sang Qingzhou, should have been killed in the illusion back then!
Ji Yunxi looked down and saw that although her second brother was usually playful, he had never shown such an angry expression.
She wanted to ask him what had happened several times, but because Bai Youmu was sitting on the throne, she didn't dare to speak.
Everyone in the room quietly waited.
Thankfully, it wasn't long before Ronghua arrived gracefully.
When he saw Ji Yunxi and the others, his eyes were also full of confusion. Bai Youmu, who was sitting on the throne, could tell at a glance that there was nothing going on between these two. It was purely a baseless rumor.
It was all the sect master's fault. Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi were clearly the most powerful, but they were given the worst grades, which made everyone complain and feel that it was unfair.
But he had seen the water mirror and knew clearly what level these two were at. If there were any disciples this year who could truly ascend, it must be these two.
Having a general idea in mind, Bai Youmu said in a deep voice, "Sang Qingzhou."
Hearing this voice, Sang Qingzhou suddenly trembled.
"You were beaten up, so you're the victim. Tell me what happened. I'm giving you a chance now."
Sang Qingzhou felt a chill in his heart and stammered, not daring to speak. How could he dare to say these things in front of Master Ronghua? Even if it were true, he wouldn't dare to say it, let alone that it was probably false.
Seeing his uneasiness, Bai Youmu's voice became even colder. "Speak!"
The power of the immortal master was extremely terrifying. Just two words made it feel like a deafening roar.
Ji Yunyi sneered. "Weren't you very talkative just now? Sang Qingzhou, are you mute now?"
Master Ronghua crossed his arms. He was a man with little patience. He stepped forward and looked down at Sang Qingzhou. "What on earth is going on?"
The pressure from Ronghua made Sang Qingzhou even more scared, and his whole face turned pale.
Seeing that he didn't dare to speak, Ji Yunyi clasped his fists and said, "Two masters, since he won't speak, I'll tell you."
Bai Youmu nodded. "Sang Qingzhou, when I asked you to speak, you didn't say a word. Then don't blame me for believing what others say."
Sang Qingzhou smiled bitterly in his heart. How could he say it?
He regretted it now. He remembered that Sang Lianyi had advised him before, but he didn't listen at all. Now such a serious thing had happened.
Anyway, if he couldn't prove that Ji Yunxi and Ronghua really had an affair today, he, Sang Qingzhou, would surely be in big trouble.
Seeing that he still didn't speak, Bai Youmu nodded to Ji Yunyi.
Ji Yunxi gave Sang Qingzhou a cold look. "Sang Qingzhou, he spread rumors that Master Ronghua and my younger sister, Ji Yunxi, had an affair."
As soon as the words fell, everyone held their breath and didn't dare to make a sound.
Ji Yunyi felt that this wasn't enough and continued, "He spread it everywhere, arousing the anger of those who were dissatisfied with my sister. He used their jealousy to try to force my sister to death."
Gu Yiyuan also straightened his body on his knees. "Disciple Gu Yiyuan can testify. He said that Miss Ji and Young Master Feng were able to enter Master Ronghua's sect because of such a deal."
Ji Yunxi looked at Sang Qingzhou in disbelief, her eyes full of shock. How could there be such a disgusting person in the world?
Bai Youmu was so angry that he laughed. He knew that there were many people who were dissatisfied with the disciples chosen by Ronghua, but he didn't expect that these disciples who had already entered Kunlun Mountain would have such vicious thoughts.
In this world, they must know how important a woman's innocence was!
Bai Youmu asked, "Earlier, you were in front of Feng Xingzhi's house. What was Sang Qingzhou going there for?"
Ji Yunxi slightly raised her head. "Because Feng Xingzhi is my fiancé, the Prince of Nanyan."
She turned and walked in front of Sang Qingzhou. "Sang Qingzhou, you have not only bullied me but also the whole Kunlun Mountain and the whole Nanyan Dynasty. You deserve to die a thousand times!"
Sang Qingzhou dodged Ji Yunxi's gaze nervously.
"You probably forgot how many things your father gave me because of your mistakes back then. Do you want me to list them for you to see?"
Sang Qingzhou wanted to refute but found it hard to speak.
Ronghua looked at Sang Qingzhou coldly. Suddenly, a flute appeared in his hand, and he lifted Sang Qingzhou's chin with it.
"Sang Qingzhou? Interesting."
