Ling Xuewei didn't expect that Wu Yi would come in person, so she stood up and went to greet him.
The arrival of Wu Yi once again pushed the atmosphere to a climax.
It is rumored that Ling Xuewei has a close relationship with those three peerless geniuses. Now, Wu Yi came to give gifts in person, which shows that the rumors are true.
After some pleasantries, Wu Yi sat down.
Originally, Wu Yi was not a talkative person. After he sat down, everyone was impressed by his aura and did not dare to talk. Soon, their attention turned to the banquet again.
"Master Si has really given birth to a good daughter. At such an age, she has become the youngest martial saint in our Cang Yun Realm. Her future is limitless!"
"Yes! Miss Ling has a heavenly appearance and outstanding talent. She will definitely achieve great results in the future!"
"Master Si has a promising future, congratulations!"
…
There was a burst of compliments from below. Ling Xuewei had been prepared for it, so she could handle this situation well.
The happiest person is Si Yunliang.
Hearing everyone praise his precious daughter made him happier than praising himself. From the beginning to the end, his eyes almost squinted with laughter, making Si Yuchao next to him speechless for a while.
My old man didn't know how to restrain himself. Didn't he see that these people were talking nice and the jealous light in their eyes was almost bubbling!
"It's gratifying that Miss Ling has achieved what she has today. But, how come I heard that you only got where you are today because of the support of someone behind you?"
Suddenly, a strange voice came, breaking the original lively atmosphere.
The air solidified for a moment.
Ling Xuewei looked around and was surprised to find that the person who spoke was actually an acquaintance.
At the end of the banquet, two women were sitting, one was slightly older and the other was very young. It was this young woman who spoke.
"Isn't this Zi Lingshan from Zixiao Palace?"
That's right, this girl is none other than Zi Lingshan, whom she hasn't seen for several days.
Ling Xuewei had not seen her since the eight elections two years ago, and she did not expect to see her at her recognition banquet today.
"Why are the people from Zixiao Palace here too?"
"That's right! Although they were not involved in the rebellion of the four sects before, it is a definite fact that Zixiao Palace secretly colluded with the four sects. The three sects did not remove them from the eight sects because of their old friendship, but how could they still have the face to come?
here?"
"that is……"
…
Everyone's comments made Zi Lingshan look ugly, and the veins on her hands under her sleeves were bulging.
No one knows how far she has fallen from being a high-ranking member of the Eight Sects to being belittled and ridiculed by everyone today. Zi Lingshan was originally a proud child of heaven. How can she endure this situation now?
Especially when he saw Ling Xuewei, who was inferior to her in everything before and was now being praised by countless people, she was even more angry and resentful, so she couldn't help but ridicule her despite the obstruction of the elders around her.
"Master Si, don't blame Miss Ling. Lingshan is just a little drunk, so she talks nonsense. Please forgive me..."
The people from Zixiao Palace were hurriedly trying to smooth things over.
"Master, Lingshan is not talking nonsense. Miss Ling dares to say that she does not have the support of the rumored Emperor Ye?" Zi Lingshan did not give any face.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a gasp coming from the lobby.
"How presumptuous! Stop talking nonsense! Don't even look at where this place is!" Although the elders of Zixiao Palace shouted loudly, they did not stop him at all.
Ling Xuewei narrowed her eyes slightly and took a sip of wine, her expression calm.
"Hmph! Don't be afraid of others if she dares to do it! Ling Xuewei, do you dare to say that I am wrong? Two years ago, you and I were both candidates for the Eight Sect Competition. If you hadn't had the support of His Majesty the Night Emperor, how could you have done it?
You are a head above me in every aspect, and you are so famous? Do you dare to say that there is nothing dirty behind this?"
Zi Lingshan was holding fire in her heart. Now that she finally got the opportunity, she became more and more enthusiastic as she talked.
"At that time, I was still wondering how you, a person from the secular world, could have such ability. After working on it for a long time, it turned out that you had climbed onto the golden branch! No wonder even people from the three sects wanted to buy your face, so that's how it is! It's ridiculous to me.
I thought you were really capable, but it didn’t dawn on me until today that you are just a shameless person who betrays your appearance, and you deserve to show off your power here? I really think I am a loser!"
Everyone was stunned by Zi Lingshan's words.
Some people are surprised by this 'revelation', and naturally there are also people who are surprised that the most dignified and virtuous beauty praised by the world can behave in such a vulgar manner.
For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the lobby.
"You bastard! How dare you humiliate my sister, Si Yuchao! Someone! Drive this crazy woman out together with these old ladies!"
The first person who couldn't sit still was Si Yuchao. He flew into a rage and dared to slander his precious sister in person. No matter who you are, he would not let her go!
"Is the Si family going to use violence? Is this the way your Si family behaves?" Shi Shiran, the old man from Zixiao Palace, stood up with a calm expression on his face, "Could it be that he was told the truth and became angry from embarrassment?"
"Hmph! You fart. Anyone with a discerning eye knows who my sister is. She relied on her own ability to get to where she is today. Why does she need help from others? You are just jealous of my sister's achievements! Don't think I don't know. This girl Zi was back then.
During the general election, Ba Zong targeted my sister everywhere, and he was even more jealous of my sister's beauty, so I came here to cause trouble and said these slanderous words! It's a pity that everyone has sharp eyes, and I really think you are easy to deceive.
It won’t work!”
It has to be said that Si Yuchao was also sharp-tongued, and with just a few words, Zi Lingshan was ridiculed until her face turned red and she was extremely angry.
"Who is jealous of her? What does she have that makes me, Zi Lingshan, jealous? She is just a coquettish thing, and I, Zi Lingshan, don't bother to compare with her!" Zi Lingshan sneered.
"Oh, indeed, not to mention your talent, just your appearance, you are not even qualified to carry my sister's shoes! My sister is a celestial being and a rare genius, how do you have the qualifications to compare with her!" Si Yuchao
said sarcastically.
Ling Xuewei on the side was a little shocked when she heard this.
Even if he is a biological brother, he would not praise his sister like this, would he?
"Hahaha! Genius? This title of genius may not be true, right? Without the support of His Majesty the Night Emperor, how could she be promoted to Martial Saint so quickly?"
Zi Lingshan continued.
"Everyone in the world doesn't know that it takes at least five to fifty years to advance from Emperor Martial to Emperor Martial, and it takes at least ten to a hundred years to advance from Emperor Martial to Emperor Martial. But as for Ling Xuewei, she went directly from Emperor Martial to Emperor in less than three years.
Promoted to Martial Saint! If there is nothing dirty in this, who would believe it?"
After Zi Lingshan finished speaking, she paused and then looked at Ling Xuewei.
"Ling Xuewei, do you dare to say in front of everyone that you have not established meritorious deeds by relying on the prestige of the Night Emperor? If you lie even half a word, thunder will strike and your relatives, clan, and friends will all die miserably!"
