Chapter 293: Chapter 293: Provocative Ancestor

Jiangli heard the words and spoke in a calm voice, "Are you the Abbot of Qingyun Temple?"

The elder nodded, "Indeed, my Taoist name is Dingshan. I believe that there has been no grievance between our Qingyun Temple and this young friend in recent days, so may I know the purpose of your visit this time?"

Jiangli glanced at him, not hiding her disdain, "It seems that Xuanmen really is lacking people now, anyone can become an Abbot. How did your ancestors choose their disciples?"

Even the usually good-tempered Taoist Dingshan found it hard to remain calm upon hearing this.

Xia Xin felt a shiver in his heart, his elder truly was in a fiery mood today, his words seemed to be picking a fight.

He looked at Jiangli somewhat nervously and said in a low voice, "Elder ancestor..."

Trying to persuade her.

But Jiangli paid him no heed and, before Dingshan could open his mouth, spoke again, "Bring over a chair; you’re not worthy of me standing to talk to you."

"You brat, do you have any idea how to speak?"

"Do you know who my master is?"

"Go out and ask around, the status of my master in Xuanmen, do you dare to speak to my master like this? Do you not value your life?"

Before Dingshan could speak, his disciples were already bristling.

Jiangli paid them no mind and just continued to stare at Dingshan.

Upon this scrutiny, Dingshan felt she looked vaguely familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.

But...

For the moment, he couldn’t recall.

Dingshan observed Jiangli’s eyebrows and eyes, her spiritual energy was abundant, and she had an early-developed wisdom root, far beyond what an ordinary person could match.

Maybe she was someone out of the ordinary...

A little while ago, when Thirteen came to find him, he had explained the situation, so he knew it was probably because his disciple had done something wrong.

After a moment of silence, Dingshan said in a gentle voice, "Since you have something to say, young friend, shall we discuss it inside the house?"

Hearing Dingshan still speak kindly to her, the young Taoists became even angrier, but they restrained themselves due to Dingshan’s presence and could only glare at Jiangli with their eyes.

"There’s no need," Jiangli rejected the offer, obstinately saying, "I want to set things right outside your main hall, to show those who founded and established your order who is in the right and who is in the wrong."

The young Taoists couldn’t help but laugh in anger.

"Set things right? Who do you think you are!"

"You damn girl, you dare to utter these words? Do you really think you’re so important?"

Upon hearing their remarks, Jiangli’s gaze swiftly turned in their direction.

The mocking expression on that person’s face hadn’t had the chance to fade when he suddenly stiffened, as if locked in place.

"Disrespectful to the elder, you deserve a beating."

With a soft remark from Jiangli, her finger slightly gestured.

The next second, a surge of energy, like a slap, resounded with a smack across the young Taoist’s face.

The crowd jumped at the sound.

Xia Xin and Dingshan were quite surprised.

No one saw how Jiangli made her move, but the young Taoist was indeed physically slapped.

At this moment, he was tilting his head, one side of his face swelling rapidly.

The sound of the slap moments ago wasn’t fake.

Dingshan looked at his disciple’s condition, his face slightly more solemn.

Jiangli looked at him coldly, "Do I need to repeat myself?"

Dingshan furrowed his brow, gazed at Jiangli for a moment, then turning to Thirteen, he ordered, "Bring a chair, please ask our young friend to sit and talk."

Thirteen replied with a tremble in his voice and hastily ran off.

Soon he returned with a chair and respectfully placed it in front of Jiangli.

Jiangli walked around and seated herself properly on the chair.

The pilgrims around, witnessing such a scene for the first time, had completely forgotten the purpose of their visit to Qingyun Temple and were all watching the excitement from behind.
