Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chu Qingzhi thought about it again. There were two protagonists in this rumor. The general, whose name was not mentioned, and the girl, whose name was named.

...

So… this rumor was just targeting her.

Once this rumor spread, there would only be two outcomes waiting for her. One was to become a nun, and the other was… to die.

This was ancient times, ancient times where reputation was more important than everything, especially for girls. If their reputation was ruined, not only would they suffer, but they would also embarrass their families. The consequences would be unimaginable.

Even if they cleared their names in the future, it would be useless.

Who was so vicious?!

Chu Qingzhi asked Chu Qingning and Chu Qingshuang in a low voice, “Did you only hear the three of them talk about that?”

Chu Qingning nodded with a straight face. “Yes, I didn’t hear anything else.”

Chu Qingzhi took a handkerchief and wiped her hands. “Don’t tell our family about this. I’ll go take a look.”

Chu Qingning grabbed Chu Qingzhi and said worriedly, “Fifth Sister, that’s Chu Peipei and Chu Laipi. They’re famous hooligans. If you go alone, you’ll be bullied.”

Chu Qingzhi blinked playfully and whispered, “I know martial arts.”

Chu Qingning and Chu Qingshuang opened their mouths slightly in disbelief. “You… you know martial arts?”

Chu Qingzhi patted Chu Qingning’s shoulder gently. “I’ll be back in a while. You have to keep it a secret for me.” With that, she walked out of the courtyard.

By the time Chu Qingning and Chu Qingshuang reacted, Chu Qingzhi had already walked far away.

Chu Qingshuang was extremely worried. “Fourth Sister, let’s follow her and take a look. If Fifth Sister is in trouble, we can call for help.”

Chu Qingning was also worried. “Yes, let’s go. No matter what, we can’t let Fifth Sister be bullied.”

So the two sisters followed.

This was a sugarcane forest. The sugarcane grew very densely.

At this moment, Chu Laipi and Chu Peipei were stealing other people’s sugarcane in the sugarcane forest.

Just as the two of them were eating happily, a voice suddenly came from the side. “I heard that you’re badmouthing me behind my back?”

Although Chu Laipi and Chu Peipei were hooligans, they did not dare to be too presumptuous in the village. The village chief had the right to kill them. The government would not care. Hence, when they heard the voice, they were immediately frightened.

However, after seeing who it was, they immediately became arrogant.

Chu Laipi said casually, “I was wondering who it was. So it’s the general’s lover. Why are you looking for us?”

Chu Qingzhi looked at the two of them calmly and asked, “Who made you spread the rumor?”

Chu Peipei clicked his tongue. “If you don’t want others to know, don’t do it. Chu Qingzhi, since you already did it, why are you afraid of others saying it?”

“I will admit what I did, but I won’t allow anyone to slander me. The consequences… Hehe… Do you know what will happen?”

As Chu Qingzhi spoke, she walked leisurely towards the two hooligans. At the same time, spiritual pressure erupted from her body.

Although she was only at the Foundation Establishment stage now, she could easily kill two mortals with her spiritual pressure without needing to do anything.

When the spiritual pressure hit Chu Laipi and Chu Peipei, the two of them immediately felt as if their chests had been hit by two huge rocks. Their internal organs were about to shatter, and they felt as if they were going to be suffocated to death. Overwhelming fear rose from the bottom of their hearts. They looked at Chu Qingzhi as if they had seen a ghost.

Chu Laipi’s face was pale. He asked in fear, “What did you do to us just now?”

Chu Qingzhi smiled lightly, looking very calm. “You have to answer my question first before I tell you, understand?”

Chu Peipei’s heart was pounding in fear, but he didn’t want to give in to a little girl. He said stubbornly, “What if we don’t say anything?”

“What if you don’t say anything?” A sharp look flashed across Chu Qingzhi’s smiling face. She reached out to grab a sugar cane beside her and secretly circulated her spiritual power.

The sugarcane instantly shattered into powder and scattered on the ground.

Chu Qingzhi said word byword, “Then I’ll make you die like this sugarcane.”

Chu Laipi and Chu Peipei had never seen such a scene before. They were so frightened that their hair stood on end.

The two of them involuntarily bent their knees and kneel down to Chu Qingzhi. They said in a panic, “We’ll tell you, we’ll tell you, we’ll say anything you want to know.”

Chu Qingzhi crossed her arms and said leisurely, “Don’t miss a word.”

Chu Laipi immediately explained the matter. “Chu Qingzhi, this is what happened.”

Chu Qingzhi’s eyes narrowed. “Rong Yupeng?”

Chu Laipi trembled and said, “He gave the four of us ten taels of silver each and asked us to spread the rumors.”

Chu Qingzhi thought to herself that spreading rumors was not a crime in this era. Even if everyone knew that Rong Yupeng was the one who created the rumors, they could not do anything to him.

Killing him in secret would end everything. However, she was about to become an immortal. It was best not to commit a sin of killing. Otherwise, it might affect her immortal path.

However, there were many ways to make Rong Yupeng eat his own bitter fruit.

Suddenly, Chu Qingzhi blinked her beautiful eyes and had a brilliant idea.

She would make Rong Yupeng unable to raise his head for the rest of his life!

“How many people have you two told about this rumor?”

“Only the 90-year-old elder in the village and Fang Cuiyun, but they don’t believe me.”

The elder was once a scholar and had the highest prestige in the village. Usually, what he said would be equivalent to an imperial edict in the village.

As for Fang Cuiyun, telling her was equivalent to telling the entire village.

These two hooligans were quite smart!

Chu Laipi looked at the smile on Chu Qingzhi’s lips and could not help but shiver. Chu Qingzhi’s martial arts skills were so high, and they were like ants in front of her. There was no one here. If Chu Qingzhi killed them, no one would know or believe that they were killed by a young girl.

At the thought of this, he hurriedly begged for mercy. “Chu Qingzhi, we were blinded by money. We didn’t want to harm you. If you want to blame someone, blame Rong Yupeng. He used money to tempt us. We didn’t want to harm you. We really didn’t want to harm you.”

“I have a way to let you redeem yourself. Do you want to do it?” Chu Qingzhi lowered her head and looked at the two hooligans. If it was in the cultivation world, these two hooligans would have long gone to reincarnate.

Chu Laipi and Chu Peipei nodded. “Yes, yes. As long as you tell us, we’ll do it immediately.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Go and find the other two hooligans. Wait for me at the village entrance. We’ll do something big tonight.”

The two of them did not dare to ask and only said, “We’ll go right away.”

Chu Qingzhi looked at the sugarcane that she had shattered. “Come over tomorrow to fetch water to irrigate the sugarcane forest.”

The two hooligans were scared out of their wits by Chu Qingzhi and obeyed. “Yes, yes, yes. We will definitely do it well.”

Chu Qingzhi turned around and walked out of the sugarcane forest.

When she arrived outside, she happened to bump into Chu Qingning and Chu Qingshuang, who were looking for her. She returned with the two sisters..
