Peerless Taoist

Chu Tianxiong took the two items and examined them carefully. Suddenly, he sneered, "Good! Very good!"    

"You actually dared to take Mr. Lu's things and boast shamelessly about it. You are very good!"    

Tang Wan's expression immediately changed.    

The banknotes and the necklace were indeed not hers, but they were snatched from Lu Xiaozhen's body.    

However, she never would have thought that the banknotes were actually given to Lu Yu by Lu Xiaozhen.    

The people around them also let out a sound of realization. They had been watching from the side the entire time, and now they understood the situation. They never thought that Tang Wan would be slandering him.    

"I gave the necklace and the banknotes to Lu Xiaozhen to make her stay away from the Yang family, a place of trouble!    

"The Yang family arranged for a concubine to be married into the house and treated her like a servant. They even forced her to do heavy labor. If you don't like her, why did you marry her in the first place?"    

"But I never thought that you would take revenge on such a woman without any evidence. You even slandered her in front of everyone! Lu Xiaozhen's bones were even smashed. What kind of enmity do you have with her to take revenge on her like this?"    

Lu Yu's voice was filled with righteousness. His questions were like thunder, striking at Tang Wan's heart.    

From the carriage in the distance, Lu Xiaozhen's soft sobbing could be heard. All the grievances she had suffered over the years had erupted at this moment.    

Tang Wan's face was pale as she said in disbelief, "Impossible, impossible..."    

The surrounding people had also heard the sequence of events clearly, and they looked at Tang Wan with disdain.    

"She snatched someone else's property and claimed it was hers. She even beat the girl to death. Mrs. Tang is indeed known for being ruthless."    

"It is normal for such a thing to happen in the Yang Residence. I wonder how many crazy things the Yang Residence has done in the past few years. I didn't expect that even the people in my own residence would not be spared."    

"So it was all a misunderstanding. These people really know how to slander people. If it wasn't for the big boss appearing in time, I'm afraid this young man would not be able to explain himself."    

The crowd pointed at Tang Wan and the group of purple-clothed disciples. Their voices could be heard, and the girls' faces immediately turned pale.    

The purple-clothed disciples' faces were also ugly. They had run out to defend Tang Wan, but they did not expect that the final result would be a slap to their faces.    

"Even if it was just a misunderstanding, you didn't lose anything."    

"You're a man. You should be more magnanimous and not fuss over it with us."    

A female disciple of the Purple Clothed Sect said unwillingly.    

"What did you say?"    

Chu Tianxiong's eyes emitted a dangerous cold light, "Are you from the Purple Cloth Sect?"    

"From now on, my Da Yuan Bank and the Purple Cloth Sect's cooperation will be cut off, your Purple Cloth Sect is not allowed to have any dealings with my Da Yuan Bank or the related sects."    

"At the same time, our Da Yuan Bank will cut off all of the Purple Cloth Sect's financial support."    

Hearing Chu Tianxiong's words, the few Purple Cloth Sect disciples were stunned.    

They never thought that just a few words would cause such serious consequences.    

"Shopkeeper, we were just joking…" These Purple Cloth Sect disciples were finally scared.    

But Chu Tianxiong didn't plan to listen to their nonsense, he waved his hand, "Scram! I don't want to see you!"    

Behind Chu Tianxiong, a group of black robed cultivators aggressively rushed over and began to chase them away. These Purple Cloth Sect disciples didn't dare to be impudent in front of the Da Yuan Bank, not to mention that they were in the wrong, they had nothing to say and left with their faces covered.    

"And you!" Chu Tianxiong looked at Tang Wan.    

Tang Wan trembled, "Shopkeeper, all of this is a misunderstanding."    

"A misunderstanding is a misunderstanding? You slandered our Da Yuan Merchant Guild's most respected guest, a single misunderstanding is enough to send you away?" Chu Tianxiong's voice was loud and clear as he berated.    

"What? The most respected guest? Him?"    

Tang Wan felt wronged, especially when she heard what Chu Tianxiong said, her face revealing an expression of disbelief.    

"Do you think that just because you have a daughter, you can do whatever you want in the Yang family? If I'm not wrong, Mrs. Tang, you still owe three hundred million spirit stones to my Da Yuan Bank, right?" Chu Tianxiong said coldly.    

Tang Wan's face immediately turned pale and she fell to the ground.    

She liked to gamble and lost a lot of spirit stones in the casino, and she also owed a lot of debts.    

However, Tang Wan had been keeping these things a secret from Yang Ling and the Wang Fei. In front of the Wang Fei, she was still a well-behaved daughter-in-law, but in front of Yang Ling, she was just a strict wife.    

No one knew that Tang Wan had already been bearing a sky-high debt in secret.    

In order to pay off her gambling debts, Tang Wan had borrowed money from the Da Yuan Bank many times, and her debt had long been high.    

"Counting the interest for the past few years, you should return me the three hundred million spirit stones from the Da Yuan Bank."    

"This money shouldn't be much to you, Mrs. Tang. I'll give you three days to go back and raise it, or else we will have to go to the Yang family to get the money."    

Chu Tianxiong's voice was cold, his expression dignified, and his words had an indescribable might.    

Tang Wan sat on the ground, her face devoid of any color.    

"Shopkeeper, please give me some more time. You must not go to the residence." Tang Wan's entire body was trembling.    

"Do you think I'm joking?" Chu Tianxiong waved his hand. "Scram! Remember, come to the Da Yuan Bank to return the money within three days!"    

A few black-robed cultivators walked forward and chased Tang Wan away.    

"Wait!"    

Lu Yu suddenly stopped the black-robed cultivators and looked at Tang Wan. His eyes flashed with a cold light. "Listen, the reason why I helped Lu Xiaozhen is because she is the personal maid of the Lang Ya County Lord, and I am the old friend of the Lang Ya County Lord."    

"Regardless of whether Lu Xiaozhen chooses to return to the Yang family, remember, if Lu Xiaozhen loses even a single strand of hair, I will make you die without a complete corpse."    

Tang Wan shivered and quickly left.    

"Everyone, disperse! Disperse!"    

The black-robed cultivators of the Da Yuan Bank began to clear the place.    

Chu Tianxiong looked around and said softly to Lu Yu, "Your Majesty, can you speak further?"    

"Mm." Lu Yu nodded.    

After settling Lu Xiaozhen and letting her recuperate in the best medicine hall, Lu Yu and Chu Tianxiong went to the study room.    

Chu Tianxiong personally made a cup of tea for Lu Yu and said in a low voice, "Recently, there have been some bad things about Your Majesty in the martial world."    

"Hmm? What's going on?" Lu Yu frowned slightly.    

Chu Tianxiong hesitated for a moment, but still took out a wanted order from his bosom and placed it in Lu Yu's hand.    

Lu Yu took it over to check. Just a glance caused a killing intent to flash across his eyes.    

"The Purple Cloth Sect wanted to kill me, saying that I was trying to kill their Ninth Miss, Zhu Xuanyin, and that I was following them to kill her?"    

Back then, at the Green Cloud Mountain, Zhu Xuanyin had died at the hands of the Penglai Female Official, Yuan Hua, because of her stubbornness.    

When Lu Yu returned, he only saw Zhu Xuanyin's corpse.    

However, he did not expect that the Purple Cloth Sect would speak without any evidence and accuse him of following them to kill her.    

A strong killing intent burst out from Lu Yu's body, instantly shattering the arrest warrant in front of him.    

"Does the Purple Cloth Sect want to be annihilated?!"
