Chapter 18 - Loss Of Reputation
Seeing their sister drop into the water, the other three instantly charged at Bai Rouyun.
"Slut, how dare you dodge?!" one of them screamed.
"I will teach you a lesson!" Another yelled.
Unfortunately, Bai Rouyun had vanished from where she stood just moments before, her movements extremely queer. A movement technique was used.
Movement techniques were exceedingly rare in the world. Once upon a time, every expert had one, but they had slowly vanished with the passing of time.
Now, only the most superior of cultivators would have a movement technique. So how did Bai Rouyun do it? She was mute, deaf, and dumb!
But before the three sisters had time to consider this, Bai Rouyun appeared behind them, and with a sweep of her leg, the three of them fell to the pond to accompany Bai Bing’er.
All four of them slowly managed to escape the dirty water. Their clothes hung to their bodies, and their makeup was smudged into unrecognition.
They quickly surrounded Bai Rouyun. They were looking to vent their anger on her!
Seeing them like this, all the innocence and naivety had vanished from Bai Rouyun’s eyes. Instead, they were filled with cold mockery, and a sarcastic smile hung on her lips.
However, moments later, she did something that puzzled these women. She suddenly made her clothes a mess and ruffled her hair. She took off her bangle and placed it on the floor, before she sat down and began crying.
No more than a few seconds later, Li Moyun and the two generals with their wives and the rest of the daughters in tow appeared at the lake-side.
Although they had been in the main hall, they had still heard the screaming and rushed over.
What met them was enough to cause all of them to be shocked.
Bai Rouyun was seated on the ground, her clothes and hair a mess, looking as if someone had been beating her. Her beautiful imperial spirit jade was lying on the ground, and the four sisters had surrounded her.
However, upon closer inspection, it was clear that the four sisters were not in good shape either. Their clothes were wet, their makeup smudged. They did not seem like ladies of a noble family. Instead, they looked like drowned street rats.
The Old and Young General both glanced at Li Moyun, but what they saw frightened them. His face was black as the bottom of a pot, his eyes flaming with anger as they were locked onto the petite figure in between the four women.
"Your General’s Mansion surely has big guts," he said with a dangerously low voice. "I brought Rouyun back for the sake of offering our respects to her late mother, but what you do is bully her right under my nose?"
The two generals were shaking in fear. They could feel strong oppression seep out from Li Moyun. He was much stronger than any of them, and they were known to be amongst the strongest experts of the Empire.
Fear slowly took root in the two generals’ hearts. They finally understood that they had made an erroneous decision when they allowed others to bully Bai Rouyun as they pleased. Now she had a strong backing, and she could even walk sideways in their mansion if she wished without them being able to do anything.
Even so, their younger generation had clearly bullied her right now. But something was off about the whole situation. If she had been bullied, why was it that the other four were soaking wet and so unpresentable?
But before they had the time to consider more, Li Moyun had walked past them. He waved his hand, and the women who were surrounding Bai Rouyun were thrown back without him even touching them.
He then bent down in front of Bai Rouyun, picked up the bangle from the ground and placed it gently on her wrist again, before he picked her up like a princess.
His cold eyes scanned the four women, but instead of appreciating their figures, he felt disgusted and repulsed by them, so he quickly turned back to the two generals.
"I brought my woman to visit you today, but she was bullied. I expect to get an explanation within a short amount of time. Otherwise, I will go to the Emperor and request that he give us justice!"
Having said his piece, Li Moyun left the garden in large strides, carrying his dainty wife within his arms.
The faces of the two generals were alternating between blue, red, and purple.
The four women had completely lost all face for their General Mansion, not only were they scampish dressed in soaked clothes, but they also bullied the wife of Prince Yun.
Many servants were also present now, summoned by the loud sounds, and half of these were men. Having seen the bodies of their misses, they were ogling away, simply embarrassing the four women even more.
"What happened here?" The Old General asked in a booming voice.
Bai Bing’er was shocked and began crying. These four young women were the favored daughters of the Bai family, when had they ever been treated like this?
"It was all that bitch’s fault!" Bai Bing’er exclaimed, completely forgetting to mask her real personality. "She had to move when I wanted to push her into the pond, causing me to fall! I don’t know how she did it, but she managed to kick my three sisters down too!"
Hearing her words, the faces of the two generals turned black. Had they intended to destroy Bai Rouyun’s reputation here today?
Although they held no feelings for Bai Rouyun, they feared Prince Yun, and looking at how he was pampering her; he was likely to wash the Bai mansion in blood if something like that had really happened.
