Jiang Yunnuan's reaction speed was simply too fast. Before anyone could even react, she had already slapped Jiang Yuancheng across the face.
"Jiang Yunnuan?!" Jiang Yuancheng clutched his cheek and lunged toward her through gritted teeth.
Smack!
Jiang Yunnuan sent him flying back with another slap.
And that wasn't enough. She rushed forward again, swinging her palm and smacking him several more times.
Jiang Yuancheng had absolutely no ability to fight back and could only cry out in pain as he was beaten.
Everyone present was stunned by the sudden turn of events.
The way they looked at Jiang Yunnuan changed instantly.
She looked like such a beautiful young woman, so how could she be this violent?
"Stop!" A cold voice rang out as a streak of spiritual power shot toward Jiang Yunnuan.
"Careful!" Qin Yiwei and the others cried out in alarm.
Ke Chongzhen stepped forward and directly deflected the attack.
Only then did Jiang Yunnuan finally stop.
At this point, Jiang Yuancheng's face had turned into a swollen pig's head again.
"Third Brother!" Jiang Yuanxin cried angrily and anxiously. "Jiang Yunnuan, are you crazy?!"
She immediately turned toward Wan Junquan and complained, "Master, look at her! She's gone too far!"
Wan Junquan looked at Jiang Yunnuan, whose face was flushed with a light sheen of sweat, making her features appear even more delicate. A dark glint flashed through his eyes.
His expression hardened, "Whose disciple are you? Who is your master? To behave so arrogantly!"
Jiang Yunnuan had also noticed Wan Junquan and felt somewhat surprised.
So Jiang Yuanxin's master had come as well, no wonder Jiang Yuancheng dared to provoke her again.
Unfortunately for them, she had no intention of letting Jiang Yuancheng get away with it.
Even if he hadn't said those disgusting things, she still might not have been able to hold back.
—She had almost developed a slapping reflex by now!
After deflecting Wan Junquan's attack, Ke Chongzhen stood beside Jiang Yunnuan and smiled, "Master Wan, matters between juniors should be handled by the juniors themselves. There's no need for elders to interfere."
Wan Junquan glanced at him deeply, he hadn't expected Ke Chongzhen to protect Jiang Yunnuan so openly.
It seemed the siblings hadn't lied, the Ke Family really did treat them differently.
"But attacking someone for no reason isn't appropriate," Wan Junquan said coldly.
"For no reason?" Jiang Yunnuan snorted.
Although Wan Junquan was a high-level artifact refiner with much higher cultivation than her, she showed no fear.
She lifted her chin, "He came out spewing shit the moment he opened his mouth. Shouldn't I teach him a lesson myself?"
"You! So vulgar!" Jiang Yuancheng shouted, his face red with anger.
"Sister, what did Third Brother even say for you to treat him like this?" Jiang Yuanxin demanded angrily.
"What did he say?" Jiang Yunnuan sneered. "His two eyes are connected to his bladder so everything he sees looks filthy. His mouth is connected to his ass so when he opens it and shit comes out. Am I not allowed to discipline him?"
"Pff—"
"Pff!"
The crowd burst into laughter, this young woman's tongue was truly vicious!
Ke Minglu even clapped and laughed loudly, "Excellent! Very reasonable! He deserved it!"
Jiang Yuancheng's face turned pale with fury, his body trembling, "Jiang Yunnuan!"
"What do you want?" Jiang Yunnuan glared at him and raised her hand again. "Spread another dirty rumor about me and I'll slap you every time I hear it!"
During the past few days, she had already heard various rumors about herself circulating outside.
Some people said she had run away with a man years ago, and now she was seducing men everywhere, claiming she had charmed the three men of the Ke Family, which was why they protected her so fiercely.
Those rumors hadn't lasted long before Wen Yan stepped in and crushed them.
Wen Yan carried significant authority.
Although the rumors had been suppressed, Jiang Yunnuan knew the Jiang siblings were definitely behind them.
And Jiang Yuancheng was certainly the main culprit!
Among the four siblings, he was the most narrow-minded with the foulest mouth, always liked spreading rumors, especially obscene ones.
She had already intended to settle accounts with him, now he had conveniently delivered himself to her.
If she didn't slap him a few times, she wouldn't even feel like competing anymore!
Qin Yiwei stepped forward as well, her smile gentle, "Third Junior Sister, I'm truly glad you left the Jiang Family back then. Otherwise you'd probably be just as filthy now."
"Oh?" Jiang Yunnuan raised an eyebrow. "Why do you say that?"
"Well," Qin Yiwei said with a warm smile, "people are influenced by their environment. A man who immediately drags everything into the gutter must come from a family with poor upbringing. It's fortunate you didn't become like them."
Lu Wenjun immediately applauded, "Second Senior Sister is right! Their whole family must talk about this sort of thing all day long, which is why they think everyone else is filthy!"
Chu Jingzhuo added with a faint smile, "Third Senior Sister, if I remember correctly, didn't your stepmother enter the household less than half a year after your mother passed away?"
"That's right," Jiang Yunnuan nodded. "And she gave birth to twin sons less than half a year after entering! She's quite capable!"
"Wow!"
The moment that information came out, the crowd erupted in shock.
"Half a year and she already gave birth? That impressive?" Meng Fanzé asked innocently.
Everyone glanced at him but didn't bother explaining.
Meanwhile the onlookers had already pieced together the implications, their faces full of astonishment.
So that's where the family tradition came from!
"Jiang Yunnuan, what nonsense are you spouting?!" Jiang Yuanxin exploded.
She never expected Jiang Yunnuan to expose these things so directly. Seeing the mocking looks around her, she felt like she was about to explode from anger.
Jiang Yuancheng was equally humiliated under the crowd's gaze, his face flushed crimson, "Jiang Yunnuan!"
Jiang Yunnuan casually dug at her ear with her little finger, "What, did I say something wrong? Point it out and I'll correct myself."
Her words nearly made the two of them cough blood with rage.
"Sharp-tongued indeed," Wan Junquan said coldly, stopping Jiang Yuanxin from rushing forward again. "Your mouth is impressive. Let's see whether your strength matches it."
Jiang Yunnuan and the others felt the pressure of his Nascent Soul aura and their expressions shifted slightly, but they didn't react much.
Nascent Soul pressure was indeed powerful. However, within their sect they had experienced far stronger pressure.
The Soul-Devouring Tiger, the Iron-Eating Beast, the Spotted Spirit Cow…None of those spirit beasts were weaker than Wan Junquan.
In fact, they were probably stronger!
Living under those pressures for so long had made them accustomed to it.
Seeing their calm expressions, Wan Junquan felt uncertain.
If not for the other spectators backing away under his aura, he might have thought there's some problems with his pressure!
Why were these people completely unaffected?
Before he could figure it out, the pressure on Jiang Yunnuan and the others was suddenly cut off.
Ke Minglu smiled cheerfully, though there was a warning in his eyes, "The competition is about to begin, we should all prepare."
Wan Junquan withdrew his gaze and curled his lips slightly, "Yes, the competition is starting. Let's compete first."
He patted Jiang Yuanxin on the shoulder, "Go ahead."
"Yes, Master."
Thinking of the competition, Jiang Yuanxin forced herself to calm down.
But she still shot Jiang Yunnuan a vicious glare, swearing in her heart that she would make her pay!
The earlier conflict seemed to dissolve just like that.
Qin Yiwei patted Jiang Yunnuan on the shoulder, "Go on!"
