Yu Xiaoxiao said: "Maybe I came back too early and my family didn't expect it."

I don’t know if she really thinks this is normal, or if she has become numb and accustomed to being treated unfairly for so long.

Ji Qingzhou didn't say much and followed Yu Xiaoxiao into the city.

Although Bianyue City is a small city, it is connected to the canyon due to its geographical location, and the many mountains and forests behind it are home to spiritual beasts.

Many cultivators use the canyon as a trial ground, hunt spirit beasts to make money, and often rest in Bianyue City.

Over time, this place became lively.

Even though it was already night, the city was still brightly lit.

As soon as Ji Qingzhou and Yu Xiaoxiao entered the city, low-level cultivators driving spirit beasts to pull carts came forward to solicit passengers and asked them if they wanted to take a ride.

Although the two of them had already established their foundation and could shrink the distance to an inch, Yu Xiaoxiao was concerned that Ji Qingzhou had been accompanying her on the journey for a long time, and she didn't want her to be too tired, so she hired a car.

"Seniors, please come this way."

After receiving the spirit stones from Yu Xiaoxiao, the monk driving the carriage smiled with a row of white teeth showing, and she brought the two of them to her carriage.

The carriage was cleaned very well. The monk lifted the curtain for the two of them and asked where they were going.

Yu Xiaoxiao said: "Go to the City Lord's Mansion."

Ji Qingzhou said: "Just hang up the curtain to let in air."

"okay."

The monk did not lower the curtain and sat in the front beast-controlling path. She was quite talkative and asked in a familiar manner, "Are you two also going to the City Lord's Mansion for a feast?"

"Dining table?"

Yu Xiaoxiao was puzzled: "The City Lord's Mansion is holding a banquet today?"

"You two don't know? I saw that you were so impressive, I thought you were guests invited by the City Lord's Mansion."

The monk said, "Not long ago, the Lord of Bianyue City, Yu Yao, adopted a baby boy from a distant relative and adopted him as his son. He set up a buffet outside the Lord's Mansion for seven days and seven nights, and the main banquet will be held in the Mansion today... Friend, what's wrong with you?"

She hadn't finished her words when she saw that Yu Xiaoxiao looked unhappy, so she stopped talking tactfully.

Ji Qingzhou asked: "When can we get to the City Lord's Mansion?"

The monk said hurriedly: "My spirit beast is very fast, and it will take less than half an hour to take you two to the City Lord's Mansion."

"it is good."

Ji Qingzhou lowered the curtain and closed his eyes to take a nap.

Speechless all the way.

Soon, the two arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

Just as the monk said, there was a buffet on the street outside the City Lord's Mansion, and guests were coming and going, making it very lively.

The Yu family was very generous. After the buffet was finished, servants quickly came up to remove the leftovers and replace them with new hot dishes and meals.

Even though they were just some ordinary meat dishes without any spiritual power, they were still exceptionally sumptuous for ordinary people, and a delicious feast that they could not get on ordinary days.

Yu Xiaoxiao led Ji Qingzhou through the crowd and arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

A servant carrying wine and food immediately stopped them and said with a frown, "The banquet is outside!"

He saw that the two men were good-looking, but their clothes were very simple, without even a pearl hairpin on their heads.

I'm afraid she's some poor girl who, relying on her good looks, wants to get into the city lord's mansion and get a chance to rise to high status.

Before Yu Xiaoxiao could say anything, a middle-aged man dressed as a butler and with a small moustache passed by the gate. Hearing the noise, he casually glanced over here, and his face changed drastically.

"You blind thing!"

The butler took a few steps forward and kicked the servant in the butt, causing him to stagger and the wine and food in his hands to spill onto the ground.

Yu Xiaoxiao and Ji Qingzhou dodged quickly, otherwise they would have been splashed, and the ground was in a mess.

Many people who were having a meal on the roadside were frightened when they saw this scene.

The lively scene suddenly became a bit awkward.

Some people looked at Yu Xiaoxiao and Ji Qingzhou, wondering who these two women were and why the housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion was making such a fuss.

Yu Xiaoxiao was also startled and said, "Butler Qian, you..."

"Don't worry, Miss. I will handle this matter."

The butler was about to repeat Yu Xiaoxiao's words, looking like a loyal servant protecting his master.

He ignored the awkward atmosphere and pointed at the servant and yelled, "How dare you stop our eldest daughter? You must be tired of living! Get out! Get out! The City Lord's Mansion can't tolerate a blind fool like you!"

He was not satisfied with just cursing, and shouted at the guards at the door to drag away the servant who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.

"Miss, I'm sorry for making you suffer."

The housekeeper walked forward with a flattering smile, bent over, and wanted to welcome Yu Xiaoxiao into the house.

His actions of kicking, scolding and driving people away were so smooth that there was no room for others to stop him.

Seeing that the topic was being brought up, Yu Xiaoxiao could not say anything more and could only say, "I don't come back often, so it's normal that the new servants don't recognize me. Butler Qian, you are exaggerating."

Ji Qingzhou had a calm expression and followed Yu Xiaoxiao silently.

After hearing her words, Ji Qingzhou sneered secretly.

This housekeeper's behavior was not only exaggerated, it was like he was roasting Yu Xiaoxiao on the fire!

It seems that Butler Qian is standing up for Yu Xiaoxiao, but in fact, this inappropriate behavior will only make outsiders think that Yu Xiaoxiao is bullying others by taking advantage of her power.

Ji Qingzhou opened his spiritual consciousness and could hear many guests at the buffet outside whispering about Yu Xiaoxiao.

"That idiot didn't recognize the real talent and offended the young lady. It's rare for the young lady to come back. How could I bear to let her suffer such humiliation?"

Butler Qian kept talking: "Young Miss, you are kind-hearted and can't bear to see others suffer, but you don't know that those guys are usually the best at stepping on the powerful and flattering the weak. You can't show them a good face. You have to control them with a cold face to know the seriousness of the matter."

His appearance of a loyal servant made Yu Xiaoxiao feel awkward to respond.

If she said more, people would think that she was too harsh as a young lady. After all, Butler Qian was doing this for her.

But Yu Xiaoxiao always felt that something was not right.

At least, this is not how the matter should be handled.

Ji Qingzhou looked at Yu Xiaoxiao's helpless look and sighed in his heart.

Housekeeper Qian had many tricks to use in her rhetoric, but there was one thing she said that was correct: her senior sister was too kind-hearted.

People who are too kind always judge others by themselves. Their eyes and hearts are full of light. They find it difficult to imagine the dangers in the world, and cannot understand the darkness in other people's hearts.

Butler Qian's actions deepened outsiders' impression of him as a loyal servant, but pushed Yu Xiaoxiao into the position of an evil master.

So all the evil deeds done by Butler Qian were blamed on Yu Xiaoxiao.

The good reputation went to Butler Qian, and the blame was put on Yu Xiaoxiao.

What Butler Qian did was extremely vicious.

And he is just a steward of the Yu family.

He actually dared to step on Yu Xiaoxiao to bring glory to himself.

Ji Qingzhou narrowed his eyes and suddenly said, "Butler Qian is right."

Yu Xiaoxiao was startled: "Junior sister?"

Although her junior sister is not the kind of gentle person who would allow herself to be bullied without fighting back, she is not the kind of person who would act violently and start a fight over a small issue.

Ji Qingzhou agreed with Butler Qian, which surprised Yu Xiaoxiao.

When Butler Qian heard Yu Xiaoxiao address Ji Qingzhou, he realized that the woman in front of him was also a disciple of Wuliang Sect. He immediately said, "Thank you for the praise, Immortal Master. I am just eager to protect my master..."

"Some people, although they are in a lower position, are scheming to climb up, and they don't hesitate to step on others' heads to make themselves look higher. In fact, how can this kind of petty thinking of stepping on the high and praising the low escape the eyes of others?"

Ji Qingzhou interrupted Butler Qian before he could finish speaking, as if he was chatting with Yu Xiaoxiao.

Glancing at the frozen expression of Butler Qian, she smiled and said to Yu Xiaoxiao, "Big Sister, Butler Qian is right. You'd better be tougher with the servants. Don't be careless and become a cushion for others."
