I've never been threatened by lofty principles.

But that idiot Jiang Junci was different. He was out of his mind. If Hua Chaoyu was really using the threat of the Miao people not sending troops to face the tribulation, he might actually marry himself to the Miao.

I said coldly, "Hua Chaoyu, I advise you not to play with fire."

Hua Han turned around immediately, "Li Po, are you preparing to threaten the Miao?"

"Enough!" Hei Yexiao roared, "Hua Han, it's not your turn to speak here, get out!"

Hua Chaoyu glanced at Hei Yexiao, and walked out the door without a word.

I sat down and said, "Lao Hei, why do I feel like your words aren't very effective in front of that Hua Chaoyu? Is she really a Da Wu (Great Witch)?"

Hei Yexiao said helplessly, "The Miao Jiang witch sect doesn't have such a detailed classification of witch levels. There is no higher level after Da Wu."

"Because Miao Jiang witches have a rule, which is that after reaching the level of Da Wu, past grievances must be written off. Da Wu must never fight to the death. This is why the Miao Jiang witch sect has always been so prosperous."

"Hua Chaoyu's strength is not to be underestimated, and his seniority is frighteningly high, so I have to give him some face."

I nodded and said, "Who is in charge of the matter between A Yaoduo and Jiang Junci?"

Hei Yexiao sighed and said, "The matter between Jiang Junci and A Yaoduo is no longer just a matter between two people. A Yaoduo is, after all, the Holy Maiden of Miao Jiang, and she has already held a wedding with Jiang Junci."

"If Jiang Junci cannot be kept in Miao Jiang, the witch sect will lose face. The witch sect will not allow this to happen."

Lao Liu shook his fan and said, "This is the biggest trouble that Zhu Zining left us!"

"The witch sect has a pivotal position in the art world, and the Miao Jiang witch sect is the largest branch."

"If this matter is not handled well, Liangjie Tang (Two Worlds Hall) may become enemies with the witch sect."

Hei Yexiao said, "The best way now is to invite Badger's shimu (martial aunt) to come forward. They will still give Wushen (Witch God) some face."

Wang Xiaohuan shook his head and said, "A great change has taken place in the Shan Hai Mi Jing (Classic of Mountains and Seas Secret Realm). Shifu (master) and shimu (martial aunt) are gathering Bai Deng Men (White Lantern Sect) disciples to enter the mountains and seas to deal with the tribulation. I'm afraid they can't take care of us here."

Hei Yexiao was also troubled for a while, "This is terrible!"

"If the Wushen (Witch God) doesn't show up, this matter can't be resolved peacefully. Even if Xie Bangui comes, the witch sect will not give in."

"Otherwise, let's try to contact Xie Bangui and ask him to mediate?"

"No! We must not let Xie Bangui come forward." Lao Liu stopped him, "Xie Bangui represents the Coffin Sect. Once he fights with someone in Miao Jiang, it represents the attitude of the entire Coffin Sect towards Miao Jiang."

"If someone with ulterior motives provokes them, we may have an even harder time cleaning up the mess."

The more Hei Yexiao and Lao Liu talked, the angrier I got, "What the hell is this?"

"I've been trying my best to avoid conflict with the witch sect along the way, but they've treated me like a pushover, and they're going to keep bullying me."

Lao Liu was startled by me, "My lord, what do you want to do again?"

I said with a cold face, "It would be best if this matter can be resolved properly. If it can't be resolved, then don't blame me for learning from the Feng family."

"Also..." I looked at Hei Yexiao and said, "I want to see that idiot Jiang Junci, and immediately."

Hei Yexiao hesitated for a long time before saying, "It's good to see him, I'll make arrangements."

That night, I took Yun Chang and followed Hei Yexiao into Jiang Junci's residence.

The first thing I said after seeing him was, "Lao Hei, Yun Chang, check him inside and out for me."

Jiang Junci was like a puppet, being looked at back and forth by the two of them. After confirming that there was no problem with him, I said, "Jiang Junci, you are not under a curse, nor have you been poisoned by Gu (poisonous insect). This shows that what you think and do now is all your own decision."

"Tell me the truth, what is your attitude towards Badger!"

Before Jiang Junci could speak, I added, "You better not talk to me about righteousness. If you dare to talk about righteousness, I will beat you to death."

Jiang Junci was silent for a moment before saying in a low voice, "I am a disciple of the Coffin Sect."

I couldn't help but burst into anger, "A Coffin Sect disciple is worth nothing."

"Damn it! If all the Coffin Sect disciples are like you, then they should just give up."

"Back then, did Xie Bangui ever use his wife to exchange for righteousness?"

"Back then, did Wang Hun marry someone else for the sake of righteousness?"

"I spit on that!"

"Without this stinky egg from Miao Jiang, wouldn't you still be able to make Caozigao (a kind of cake)?"

I went up and grabbed Jiang Junci's collar and dragged him up, "I'm telling you, Jiang Junci, if you're a man, then show me some balls."

"Isn't it just one less allied force?"

"If there's less, then there's less. Does not having Miao Jiang mean we can't fight?"

"Also, use your donkey brain to think about it carefully. If Liangjie Shan (Two Worlds Mountain) completely collapses, can Miao Jiang still huddle here and live a few days of peace?"

"Even for their own sake, they wouldn't dare not go to Liangjie Shan!"

"If you are scared by other people's few words, then don't tell me you are a Coffin Sect disciple in the future."

Although Jiang Junci was being lifted into the air, he didn't say a word.

I simply threw him on the ground, "Jiang Junci, I'm telling you, this time, Badger risked her life to save you. Don't let her win the battle, but lose the bet! Let's go."
