Chapter 1058 Threats and barbs
Song Yan narrowed her eyes as she looked at the woman. She had never seen this woman in her life but something about the brilliant red dress with black spider lilies drawn on it made her heart feel stuffy. Something about this woman made her uncomfortable but why, Song Yan had no idea about it.
Even Fu Rong, who was usually naive felt like the woman was trying to find fault with them for no reason. She looked at the woman fiercely and said, " This is our money. My sister-in-law earns her own money and does not need to depend on her parents or husband to hand her a credit card such that she can squander it away. Those who don't know how to earn even a single yuan it's better if they don't say anything!" As she spoke she fiercely glared at the two women who just spoke up.
How could the young mistress who came with Feng Ruoxuan not know that Fu Rong was scolding them? They glared right back at Fu Rong with their cheeks tinged red in embarrassment and humiliation.
Master Liu on the hand hid behind Song Yan. Though the charm that Song Yan gave him was strong enough to hide his presence, he still could not stop his instincts. This woman in front of him was a Celestial master and to make things even worse this woman seemed to have practised dark arts!
Song Yan saw the small actions of Master Liu and immediately understood the identity of the woman in front of her.
She looked at the woman in front of her and pursed her lips. Even though she had met with a lot of celestial masters when she was working as a ghost servant, she had never seen a celestial master who made her feel this uncomfortable. Goosebumps broke all over her skin as she looked at the woman who was dressed in a red dress.
" I was just trying to make a suggestion," seeing that Fu Rong was getting angry at her, the woman who came to their group could not help but say. " I did not mean to offend you or anyone else for the matter."
She then scoffed lightly and then said, " You are right. Rich people indeed have a lot of money to waste rather than helping the poor." She then smiled sweetly at Song Yan and added, " I grew up in a poor household which is why I might have said something to offend you, madam, I hope you will not mind it."
Before Song Yan could say anything, Fu Rong spoke up, " Who are you trying to put down? We haven't asked for your money and we dont even know who you are, why are you poking your nose in our business? We are here to stone gamble just like you, if you have the money and empathy for the poor then you might as well donate the money yourself! Why are you showing off your hypocritical attitude?"
The woman had never been humiliated like this, she looked at Fu Rong with a malevolent expression on her face. She drew an array with her finger and was just about to activate it when Song Yan intercepted her by undoing the array on the spot.
Song Yan narrowed her eyes and then coldly looked at the woman who just tried to harm Fu Rong, " I hope you were not trying to do what I think you were doing. As a celestial master, you are not supposed to harm an innocent life even if it's possessed by an evil spirit. Do you dare to say the name of your sect?"
The woman did not expect Song Yan to be a celestial master. For someone to undo her array, she knew that Song Yan was not a simple woman, she looked at Song Yan with a bit of wariness coated in her eyes. The woman then smiled and said, " Madam seemed to be really upset with me. Forgive me, I lost control of my emotions. I am from the Heavenly Moon sect, what about you?"
" The Gu sect," replied Song Yan as she pulled away her aura. She also learned the name of the woman as she smiled at her and introduced herself. Dong Xuelian.
She had never heard about the Heavenly Moon sect before, as far as she knew such a sect did not even exist in her memory. Was it collapsed? Or … she looked at Dong Xuelian, though the smell of human blood was faint, she was skilled enough to get a whiff of the scent of the blood.
' A dark art practitioner, No wonder she was at ease while attacking an innocent person,' Song Yan thought in her head.
Feng Ruoxuan and her friends were quite surprised to find out that Song Yan was a celestial master and even had a connection with the Gu sect. Feng Ruoxuan knew Gu Chenyi as he was the one responsible for treating her uncle a few years back.
Back then she did not believe in ghosts and evil spirits but after facing the horror inside the bedroom of her uncle when Gu Chenyi dealt with the ghost that was possessing her uncle, Feng Ruoxuan seemed to have reached a new found understanding of the celestial master.
She glanced at Song Yan and suddenly felt a bit worried. What if Song Yan used her powers to defeat her?
When Dong Xuelian heard that Song Yan was from the Gu sect, her eyes turned cold. Though they both were celestial masters, the Gu sect's members walked on the path of righteousness while the Heavenly Moon Sect did what they wanted, as long as the goal could be achieved, they did not care about the consequences of their actions.
Thus, it was inevitable that the two sects would be at odds with one another.
Song Yan blinked her eyes upon seeing the sudden hostility in the eyes of the woman. She looked at Dong Xuelian's fingers and sure enough, the latter was drawing an array to attack her and that too of a level three grade.
If she was not skilled enough to detect it, then Song Yan was sure that she would have lost an arm or leg.
She narrowed her eyes and threatened, " Celestial Master Dong, I hope that you will learn how to act. Celestial Masters aren't allowed to hurt their fellow practitioners and innocent people. If you continue to act up then I will have to visit your sect with my master."
