Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman

Chapter 234 - Are You Lying To Me?



Chapter 234: Are You Lying To Me?

As Madam Jiang drove, she spoke through the Bluetooth headset in her ears to Jiang Shuxuan.

“I think your community is outstanding and well suited for old people like us.” She said this one sentence to him in a solemn voice, and hung up the call without giving Jiang Shuxuan any time to reply.

Jiang Shuxuan frowned slightly on the other end, his lips pressed tightly together. His fingers tapped against the table, and each tap made Yi Bing and Yi Tiao, who was waiting in front of him, more nervous as the time passed. They glanced at each other, and then wordlessly lowered their heads even more.

After a few seconds, Jiang Shuxuan sent a message—[Control your wife!]

Jiang Han shot back almost immediately—[Can you control yours?]

Jiang Shuxuan: “...” He had no comeback for that.

***

After hanging up the call, Madam Jiang drove the car onto a highway. This was the highway towards the ancient martial arts world, and it rarely had anyone on it. Night had also fallen. She drove the car alone on the road with no fear.

Suddenly, a ‘bang’ was heard.

Something had fallen from the sky and landed on her car.

Madam Jiang immediately slammed the brakes, and she was also able to make out the person who had fallen on her car. “Elder?!”

Elder Jiang, who looked slightly older, got up in an embarrassed manner. He straightened his clothes, and then bowed respectfully to her. “Madam.” After saying that, a loud noise suddenly came from the northern side, and his face changed immediately. “Madam, hurry and leave!”

“What’s going on?” Dense, profound chi shook the air, and Madam Jiang immediately drew her magic weapon—a bone fan. The air became terrifying after she drew her fan. “Elder, why are you here?”

Elder Jiang’s face, which had initially been grave and serious, twitched a little at her words. Would he explain that he had been here to investigate the Peace Squad? That he wasn’t able to find the bottom of it, and had been chased and beaten up by those thugs that had been causing the riots lately, and the people that he was investigating had been the ones that ended up saving him instead!

Would he say all this? Of course not!

Bang!

A large stone suddenly fell from the sky, and as soon as Elder Jiang raised his hand, Madam Jiang’s bone fan had already flown out in an instant, shattering the huge stone.

The elder saw a shadow that was getting closer to them, and his face panicked again. “Madam, hurry and leave!”

As a member of the ancient martial arts world, they were responsible for the protection of the secular world, how could she just leave at a time like this?

The black shadow arrived in front of the two like a whirlwind, Yao Jiamu was leading a bunch of men after it, and took a moment to glance at the two. “Why aren’t you two leaving yet?! Hurry up, we can’t hold it back for long!”

Following his words, the black shadow expanded suddenly, and burst outwards. The ten sturdy men in front of them exuded a frightening aura.

Just when Yao Jiamu and his men seem to falter, Madam Jiang’s bone fan came up to block the attacks from the sturdy men.

“Five Elements Array!” Yao Jiamu got a moment, immediately drawing up the array on his men. The entire team had been personally trained carefully by him, and it was Gu Xiqiao that had taught them this array. As soon as his words were out, the others wiped the blood off their lips, standing in their position.

Madam Jiang couldn’t hold it anymore, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Her face was amazed as she watched Yao Jiamu and his men confront the ten sturdy men. “Elder, who are these people?” All of them had reached the stage of Fleet Foot?

“The thugs that suddenly appeared in the capital.” Compared to those sturdy men, the elder was more surprised that a group of people at Chi Induction stage was able to hold back a group of people at Fleet Foot stage, it was practically unheard of! “Why haven’t the people from the elder committee arrive yet!”

Bang!

A stronger, more profound chi suddenly surrounded them.

Madam Jiang was forced back a few steps. She looked at the two opposing forces with a horrified look on her face. The collision of energy was strong to the point that it was rare to see such in the ancient martial arts world.

Her arm was suddenly held by another person, and a clear, melodious voice rang out. “Aunt Shu, are you alright?”

“Qiao Qiao?” Madam Jiang turned around in a panic. “Why are you here? Quickly, you must leave. This is not a place for regular people like you!”

After Gu Xiqiao had come to her side to support her, she raised her head to look at the battle.

“Miss Gu!” The strongest Five Elements Array was being repelled. Yao Jiamu and the others couldn’t help the desperation that they felt, but they didn’t expect to see Gu Xiqiao appear in the midst of their desperation, and they felt elated at her appearance.

Miss Gu? Who were they calling out to? Both Madam Jiang and the elder were at a loss, but they also knew that this ‘Miss Gu’ must be a strong character.

“Qiao Qiao, hurry and leave. Another person called ‘Miss Gu’ is appearing, I’m sure it’s not someone who’s good!” Neither of the party in front of them were people from the ancient martial arts world, and now there is another ‘Miss Gu’ who was appearing that they knew nothing about. Madam Jiang was looking around frantically, and then she pushed the bone fan into Gu Xiqiao’s hands. “This will protect you!”

“Aunt Shu, don’t worry.” Gu Xiqiao glanced at the bone fan in surprise, before pushing it back towards Madam Jiang’s hands.

She stepped forward, walking towards the in between of the two fighting parties. The profound chi in the air around them was so strong that the others couldn’t get any closer. She walked slowly, clad in plain clothes and her black hair swaying in the wind. There was a frosty chill in her eyes.

“Miss Gu!” Yao Jiamu and his men got up from the ground and stood behind her, as though they had found their backbone in her.

Gu Xiqiao raised her hand, her jade-like fingertips surrounded by purple lightning, her snow-white face reflected the purple light, making her face glow even more.

“She’s the one they’ve been calling ‘Miss Gu’?” Madam Jiang said in a daze, her eyes on the beautiful figure.

“It seems so?” The elder replied in the same dazed tone, and he watched as Miss Gu threw out a lightning bolt from her hands, striking those burly figures down.

Lightning, coincidentally the nemesis to those evil things.

The elder wiped his face, he really knew why the people from the peace team were so aggressive, they had probably learned it from this Miss Gu!

“Xiao Mutou, I leave the rest to you.” The ten burly men with Fleet Foot stage had tenfold strength when they had gathered together, and were comparable to someone on the Xiantian stage at their peak. She had also expanded a lot of effort and energy to strike them down, her face being more pale than usual. “Little Huazi’s homework isn’t done yet.”

Yao Jiamu snapped out from his shock, and he nodded. “I understand, Miss Gu.”

As soon as he said that, Gu Xiqiao disappeared instantly on the spot.

After she left, Yao Jiamu ordered his subordinates to round up the ten men, and threw them at the elder’s feet. They had also learned to almost be like Gu Xiqiao in all matters!

When the people from the ancient martial arts world weren’t around, they directly threw them at the police station. Now that there were people from the ancient martial arts world, it saved them the extra trip!

The elder concealed his shock on the inside, and his lips twitched upwards at this. “Mister Yao, join the ancient martials arts world!”

Naturally, he was aware that Yao Jiamu was not from the ancient martial arts world. He had reached this level without the help of the Trial Tower, if he went in, how much further would he reach?

And so, he passionately invited him again, “With your strength, you will definitely be the fourth tyrant in the ancient martial arts world!”

“No way.” Yao Jiamu shook his head. “We want to maintain world peace. Elder Jiang, you’re welcome to bring someone else to fight us next time.”

Having said that, he turned and lead his men away.

Elder Jiang: “...”

Ten minutes later, the elders of the ancient martial arts world had arrived in a hurry with a group of people behind them. They were shocked when they saw the tragic battlefield and a shell shocked Madam Jiang.

“If we had waited for you to come, then you’d only be picking up the bodies of me and Madam Jiang!” Elder Jiang looked at the people who had come from the Elder Faction, and found that they were not comparable to the Peace Squad and ‘Miss Gu’. Their efficiency was just too low.

The elder from the Murong family ignored his words, and asked, “Which powerful person saved you?”

“The peacekeepers.” Elder Jiang sighed. “Elder Murong, we don’t have to investigate the Peace Squad any further.”

“Why not?” After Elder Tang had ordered the group of people to deal with the ten burly men, he heard the words that Elder Jiang had spoken, and couldn’t help but ask, “The one who insisted on investigating them was you in the first place?”

“It’s too big a blow,” Elder Jiang massaged his temple as he said that. “The first time I fought with people from the Peace Squad, they didn’t have the power to fight back. The second time I exchanged blows with them, they were able to easily escape my grasp. The third time we met, they were already able to completely crush me.”

And this time, they had even saved him. If the people from the Peace Squad had not made their move, he would have already been dead the moment he came to face those burly men!

“Also, they have a weird formation. If they had used that array in the beginning, I probably wouldn’t have stood a chance, but they didn’t.” Elder Jiang gritted his teeth. “I guess they had been using me as practice all this while!”

Hearing what Elder Jiang said, Elder Tang and Elder Murong couldn’t help but glance at each other.

In reality, the leader of the law enforcement team, Lai, had refused to confront the Peace Squad. Now even an elder was wearing such a reluctant expression on his face.

Elder Jiang seemed to have received such a heavy blow, just what were the origins of this Peace Squad? Elder Tang was deep in thought, the only thing in his mind was, he definitely didn’t want to meet anyone from the peace team in this lifetime!

At the same time, the matter was quickly being settled by all the elders present.

There was such a powerful force in the ancient martial arts world that had appeared out of thin air, it was impossible for them to pretend that nothing had happened.

***

Yi Tong knocked on the door, looking for Jiang Shuxuan.

When he walked in, he found Yi Bing and Yi Tiao also inside, while Jiang Shuxuan was sitting down at his table, looking at his phone in silence. There was a chill in the air, while Yi Bing and Yi Tiao were desperately trying to signal to him to not provoke Jiang Shuxuan at this moment.

However, Yi Tong was too excited, and he missed their attempt at warning him. Instead, he handed the document to Jiang Shuxuan happily. “Boss, look at what the elder committee has just sent!”

Jiang Shuxuan came out from his musing, and raised his, the cold glint in his eyes as his slender fingers took the documents.

Flipping past a few pages, the chilling pressure in the air vanished instantly.

The tightly pursed lips loosened, and he placed the document on the table. He then stood and went out of the room, phone in hand.

“Yi Tong, what did you bring in?” Yi Tiao and Yi Bing asked curiously. What was it that made their boss’s face change so quickly? They were both almost scared out of their wits just now!

Yi Tong was unusually excited as he pulled out his phone, showing the two a picture. “Remember the Peace Squad that we were talking about the other day? Do you see how black Elder Jiang’s face looks? Don’t you feel happy when you see it?”

“Pfft!” Yi Bing had been the one who was more in contact with those elders, and he couldn’t help but smile when he saw the petulant look on Elder Jiang’s face. “Isn’t Elder Jiang a serious old man? How did this happen?”

He really did admire those people from the peace team!

“I heard that he had been irritated by the people from the Peace Squad. I’ll wrap up the things I have on hand here, and then I’ll go and meet the peackeepers. I think they’ll be especially fun!” Having said this, Yi Tong furrowed his brows. “By the way, while I was outside the city yesterday, I think I saw Miss Cecily.”

“Shh!” Yi Bing covered his mouth immediately. “Don’t mention that name in front of Boss!”

Yi Tong; “...” Just saying it is fine, okay? Who knows if you washed your hands or not?

***

This evening, the elders’ committee of the ancient martial arts world held a night-long meeting.

And the three people in the Fu family were also in for a sleepless night.

After reading the documents that Baili Bin had given her, Baili Wenxi sat on the bed, not responding to anything for almost the entire day.

When Fu Wei opened the door to call her for dinner, she didn’t move for a long while.

“What’s wrong?” Fu Enterprise was involved in such a big incident today, and Fu Wei was still slightly downtrodden by the entire matter. But when he saw Baili Wenxi, his voice softened no matter how dressed he felt inside.

Baili Wenxi raised her head, looking at Fu Wei suddenly. “Are you hiding anything from me?”

“Of course not, my wife.” Fu Wei smiled lightly. “How could I dare to hide anything from you...”

Before he finished speaking, he saw the few pictures that Baili Wenxi had on the bed, and his face froze instantly.
