540: Chapter 50: No misunderstanding, so why is it dragging out?

Two days later, at the entrance of Jinxiu Workshop.

"Jin Binger, is this something that someone from the Righteous Path would do?"

"You've gone too far by doing something like this!"

"Jin Binger, stop playing dumb. Hand the person over to me immediately!"

"If you don't hand her over, I'll keep coming back!"

Inside a private room on the second floor of a restaurant near Jinxiu Workshop.

Meng Li glanced at Kuong A Xiang, who was shouting below, feeling a bit puzzled. He turned his head and asked Jin Ling, who was pouring wine, "What's the situation with this guy? I remember he made a scene like this at Jinxiu Workshop two days ago, and now he's back."

Jin Ling smiled and said, "I've already inquired about this matter."

"This person is named 'Kuong A Xiang'. He is from the Kuong family in Yudu City and studied under Tianyin Pavilion."

"When he was young, he was betrothed to a girl named 'Ding Ling'."

"However, young Kuong A Xiang was ugly and impulsive. He once took advantage of the fact that Ding Ling's parents were not at home to propose marriage, which was suspected to be a forced marriage. Ding Ling was frightened and has been avoiding him ever since. Even though he has undergone cultivation and his appearance is now decent, it remains the same."

"A few days ago, Ding Ling, who works as an embroiderer at Jinxiu Workshop, heard that Kuong A Xiang had returned from Tianyin Pavilion and has been avoiding him."

"Out of sympathy, Jin Binger has been protecting Ding Ling."

"And so, things have turned out the way they are now."

Meng Li was rendered speechless.

Something that could be solved by just meeting and explaining things clearly has turned into blocking the door and demanding someone?

Does that make sense?

Oh, it's an ancient idol drama, so that makes perfect sense.

In his first life, this was a major feature of domestic idol dramas: whether it was a modern or ancient idol drama, regardless of the male lead, female lead, male supporting character, or female supporting character, they could eat and drink and chatter, but they would never explain things clearly the first time.

Because if they explained it clearly, there wouldn't be any misunderstandings.

If there were no misunderstandings, how could they pad the runtime?

Despite his inner complaints, Meng Li didn't show anything on the surface. He took the wine cup handed over by Jin Ling and drank the wine in one gulp.

Seeing this, Jin Ling smiled charmingly, took the wine pot, and poured herself into his arms.

Meng Li glanced at her, handed the wine cup over, then pulled her close to adjust his posture. From a blind spot out of sight, he reached into her collar and began to toy with the suet-white jade rabbit hidden within.

Jin Ling narrowed her eyes and let out a soft hum, then continued pouring wine with a blush on her cheeks.

Ever since she was made to feel and enjoy the pleasure brought by The Great Joyful Union Technique using Meng Li's scraping bone blade ability, she had become addicted to it and had been clinging to Meng Li tightly for the past two days. After all, some pleasures are physiologically addictive enough to make many people obsessed, not to mention reaching the Soul.

Meng Li was equally happy about this.

The Great Joyful Union Technique had the effect of improving cultivation, but it needed to be consolidated, so it had entered a cooldown period.

The two of them, one human and one Yin Spirit, studied the other techniques in the Joyful Union secret manual.

Meng Li also used the Shuangquan Hand to modify Jin Ling's spiritual body, giving it the effect of integrating spirit and flesh, and then discovered that she possessed the trait of inner charm.

It was unclear whether this originated from Lady Jin Ling or was her own issue.

At this moment, the situation below changed.

Kuong A Xiang saw that there was no response from Jinxiu Workshop, so he began to incite the onlookers to stir up trouble.

Just after a couple of incitements, a passionate voice joined in: "Exactly! Breaking up a marriage and stealing someone's wife, is this acceptable?"

The voice sounded familiar to Meng Li, so he paused and followed the sound, only to discover that the person speaking was none other than Zeng Shushu.

Along with her were Lin Jingyu, Lu Xueqi, and Tian Linger.

However, the three of them, Tian Linger and the others, didn't seem very willing to get involved in Kuong A Xiang's affairs.

Tian Linger and Lu Xueqi stood in the crowd without moving.

Lin Jingyu reached out to pull Zeng Shushu back, whispering, "Senior Brother Zeng, don't cause trouble. We have a mission."

But Zeng Shushu said, "Jingyu, when you see injustice, you cannot ignore it."

As she spoke, she looked back at Kuong A Xiang.

Kuong A Xiang sized up Zeng Shushu and Lin Jingyu, puzzled, and asked, "Who are you two?"

Zeng Shushu smiled and said, "I am a Disciple of the Qingyun Sect. We are all of the Righteous Path, and we share the same breath and branches."

"Since a Fellow Daoist's wife has been snatched away, we will definitely help you snatch her back."

Hearing this, Kuong A Xiang looked delighted, smiled, and cupped his hands at Zeng Shushu and Lin Jingyu, "So you are Senior Brothers from the Qingyun Sect. Disrespect, disrespect."

Zeng Shushu returned the salute: "You're too polite, you're too polite."

Lin Jingyu followed with a salute; after all, one does not hit a smiling face.

However, she didn't speak, but instead turned to look at Lu Xueqi and Tian Linger.

Tian Linger made a gesture, signaling to act separately and wait and see what happens.

Lin Jingyu understood, nodded, and turned her gaze back to Zeng Shushu and Kuong A Xiang.

Seeing that she had two more helpers, Kuong A Xiang immediately became more confident and once again issued a provocation and threat to Jinxiu Workshop: "Jin Binger, did you hear that? I now have the help of two Senior Brothers from the Qingyun Sect. I advise you to hand over Ling'er immediately and don't force us to take action. Otherwise, if we start fighting, we will scare you!"

However, just as he finished speaking, a team of City Lord's Mansion guards arrived.

Leading them was a young man with regular features and an air of righteousness.

After seeing the young man's appearance, Meng Li was slightly stunned.

Because this was another familiar face.

The Zhonglangjiang from Tang Gui, and also Guo Jing from a certain version of the legend of the condor heroes...

After the guard leader arrived, he pressed his hand on his waist sword and raised a token with the other: "The City Guard is on official business, bystanders retreat immediately!"

The onlookers quickly dispersed upon seeing this.

Zeng Shushu's eyes lit up, and she said to Lin Jingyu, "Jingyu, look, the City Guard has come to uphold justice."

Immediately, she said to Kuong A Xiang, "Brother, you're impressive. You were actually able to call the City Guard to come and help."

Unexpectedly, Kuong A Xiang frowned and said, "I didn't call the City Guard."

Zeng Shushu was stunned: "Then who called them?"

Just at this moment, Jin Binger's voice came from inside Jinxiu Workshop: "Naturally, I called them."

Immediately after, Jin Binger walked out of Jinxiu Workshop gracefully with a few embroiderers.

When she approached, she pointed at Kuong A Xiang and said to the leading guard, "Eastern Guard, it is him. These past few days, he has come to Jinxiu Workshop to make trouble repeatedly, making it impossible for me to do business here."

The young man known as "Eastern Guard" nodded, then waved his hand: "Arrest him."

The guards behind him immediately swarmed toward Kuong A Xiang.

Kuong A Xiang hurriedly explained, "Eastern Guard, don't listen to her one-sided words. I'm not making trouble; it's she who hid my fiancée."

Zeng Shushu added, "That's right. Eastern Guard, you must investigate the matter clearly; you cannot arrest people indiscriminately!"

Eastern Guard looked at Zeng Shushu and asked, "Who are you?"

Zeng Shushu immediately puffed out her chest and said proudly, "My name is Zeng Shushu, I am a Disciple of the Qingyun Sect, and the City Lord of Yudu City is my grandfather."

Upon revealing the last layer of identity, both Jin Binger and Eastern Guard's expressions changed slightly.

The guards who were arresting people also paused.

After a moment, Eastern Guard said cautiously, "Take the three of them back to the City Lord's Mansion and wait until the City Lord has seen them before deciding."

The guards immediately followed the order.

Zeng Shushu, Lin Jingyu, and Kuong A Xiang did not resist.

Soon, the three were taken away by the guards.

Lu Xueqi and Tian Linger, who were not far away, did not intervene.

They knew that what Zeng Shushu said was true and were not worried at all that the three would have any trouble. Instead of getting involved, it was better to inquire about the Demonic Sect.

Just as the two were planning to leave and Jin Binger turned back to Jinxiu Workshop, another group of people arrived at the entrance of Jinxiu Workshop.

Leading them was a middle-aged man of medium build.

He stopped Jin Binger and said sinisterly, "Workshop Owner Jin, long time no see."
