Cultivation—Stand above the Heaven Chapter 179

 "Xu Yaoting, who are you talking about?"

Qiu Yunchong pulled a long face — he couldn't withstand Wandong's sarcasm anymore.

Wandong responded with a smirk.

"Qiu Yunchong, why bother to become so oversensitive? I didn't say anything about you, okay? Why did you play the pigeon-holing game again? You are so hard on yourself!"

"You!"

"You go there again! Where's your masculinity? You're a veteran general you know? You've engaged hundreds of bloody battles! Don't act like a chick! Let Commander Tang conduct hear the case! Don't interfere!"

"You wanna get killed?"

Qiu Yunchong made an outburst.

The black-dressed bodyguards revealed their blades straight away.

In the meantime, the Fengxiang Armed Escort soldiers did the same.

A wave of the sound of drawing swords rushed in, rendering the Tianbao Mansion flashing with knives and swords. The tension could send chills down anyone's spine.

"Commander Tang, why is that?"

Qiu Yunchong found the vibe suddenly changed, eyes running down the showing room.

Wandong struck in with a grim sneer.

"Isn't it clear enough? Even a dumb-ass can make it out okay? Commander Tang is apprehending the rebels!"

"Who are you referring to?"

"Whoever goes against me! Qiu Yunchong, it's so weird! How come you fail to figure it out? How did you make it this far to becoming a general? I can deputize for you if you are not equal to it!"

Wandong punched a quick-witted monologue at Qiu Yunchong. The latter failed to come back to himself until a moment later.

Tang Xinyi smirked in spite of herself, covering her mouth. What an awesome move that was! She felt pretty satisfied with Wandong's coup de force — Qiu Yunchong literally got lost for words.

"Now the case was crystal clear. For my part, I think you'd better not bother to go to the bottom at all."

It was rather bizarre. As a Chinese saying went, a scholar could never convince a soldier with sensible analysis. Nevertheless, it seemed that it was the other way around now.

Being a distinguished general, Qiu Yunchong got stuck in a vicious circle of checkmate when faced with Wandong. He couldn't for the life of him figure it out.

"Qiu Yunchong, you're indeed well-informed about it, but her royal highness isn't. What are you supposed to do as a lackey? You hardly fulfill your responsibility you know? How dare you not take her royal highness into account?"

"Xu Yaoting! You…"

Qiu Yunchong flew with a rage. He became so furious that even his hair erected on his head.

Wandong let out a sneer.

"Qiu Yunchong, how come you're so irritable? To be honest, it was hardly a big deal for you to go through! A word to the wise, don't get way too preoccupied with collusion! Get yourself some time to meditate! I'm really concerned about you. You might end up dead of anger in bed instead of in your battlefield!"

"Enough is enough. The commander of the Fengxiang Armed Escort is hearing the case on behalf of her royal highness. No interruption is allowed!"

Tang Xinyi feinted a serious look, struggling to hold back her smirk. She felt so pleased to see Wandong fire mockeries at Qiu Yunchong. The latter almost burst out blood spitting.

After all this, the Qingyun warriors made out the situation — Tang Xinyi was actually with them. Hence, without further ado or scruples, they briefed her about the Tianbao guys' unscrupulous dark deeds in full length, gritting their teeth.

They even roped in Qiu Yunchong, making him the culprit for the whole story. A bolder one even condemned him — Qiu Yunchong didn't deserve his title, as he kissed the ass of the Tiezhan Empire.

Qiu Yunchong went insane, intending to take his life forthwith. Nevertheless, Wandong and Tang Xinyi fended him off with joint efforts.

"General Qiu, why was that? Did you mean to kill him to hush him up?"

"The bastard was simply talking crap! He was badmouthing me! Shouldn't I kill him?"

Qiu Yunchong discarded his general-like demeanor, eyes red.

Leng Yuecui shook her head constantly on seeing that.

"General Qiu, you know, self-reflection precedes blaming others whenever you encounter anything! Why did he refer to you as a Tiezhan flunkey instead of me? That's what vox pop is! How can you disregard it?"

"You…"

Qiu Yunchong stared at Wandong, eyes blazed with anger. He nearly flopped onto the ground and passed out.

Tang Xinyi stared at Wandong, startled as well.

"This guy is astoundingly smart! He raised the warrior's complaint against Qiu Yunchong all this way to the level of public opinion with just a few lines! What a coup de grace! He not only placed Qiu Yunchong at a disadvantage but also roped in Qiu Wanli!"
