Chapter 528: The Pretentious King's Counterattack!

Xu Que's unlucky encounter caused Liu Jingning to involuntarily furrow her brows!

But she did not overthink it, instead focusing her attention on the cultivators in the stone field below!

There were many disciples from large sects and clans in the stone field, most of whom were at the Nascent Soul Stage. Guarding the stone field were six elderly men at the Infant Transformation Stage, all of whom were members of the Jiang family!

At this moment, this group of people was glaring angrily at Xu Que, shouting rebukes!

Seeing Xu Que's cold expression, Liu Jingning secretly thought, "This is bad," and with a *whoosh*, her figure instantly darted forward.

"Everyone, this matter is a misunderstanding!"

Liu Jingning spoke first, blocking in front of Xu Que, entirely to prevent him from getting into trouble again!

Her voice was crisp and resonated throughout the area.

At the same time, the terrifying aura of a Void Refinement Stage powerhouse suddenly descended, full of pressure, instantly shocking the entire scene!

"Void Refinement Stage?"

Everyone in the stone field changed their expressions, unable to help but retreat!

"My god, it's the Saintess of the Bliss Sect!" Someone recognized Liu Jingning's identity and exclaimed in shock.

"Why is she here?" The Jiang family elders frowned, seemingly feeling that they had encountered trouble.

"It seems she came along with that brat!"

"Could she be here to back that brat up?"

Many people began to speculate. After all, the Bliss Sect's reputation in the Eastern Wasteland was not exactly good. To put it nicely, it was a large sect; to put it bluntly, the Bliss Sect was a demonic sect!

A Jiang family elder stepped out and said in a deep voice, "This old man is Jiang Tianhai. Greetings to the Bliss Sect Saintess! I wonder what purpose brings the Saintess to our Jiang family's stone field this time?"

The elder did not look pleased, but he maintained respect in his words and did not dare to speak rudely to Liu Jingning!

Xu Que watched this, feeling stunned inside.

He did not know that Liu Jingning was quite famous in the Eastern Wasteland and was the Saintess of the Bliss Sect. However, just hearing the sect's name, he knew it was not a righteous sect!

At the same time, Liu Jingning said, "You don't need to be nervous; we have no malicious intent! This young friend is a junior of mine. We happened to be passing by and saw everyone carving stones, so we took a few extra looks. The matter just now was purely a misunderstanding!"

"A misunderstanding?" The Jiang family elders all showed displeasure, and the crowd present, including the man from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion who was mining the giant stone, also frowned.

One of the Jiang family elders stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Saintess Liu, if this counts as a misunderstanding, how can our Jiang family stone field stand in the Eastern Wasteland in the future? If anyone can snatch things from our hands, and it gets out, where will our Jiang family's face be?"

Liu Jingning smiled indifferently: "I said, this is just a misunderstanding! My junior here is new and doesn't know the rules. Just now, this item was mined from the stone and flew toward him. He only reached out to intercept it out of natural reaction, not because he wanted to snatch it!"

In the stone field, everyone was silent!

In the stone carving field, there had always been an unwritten rule: no matter what was mined, and whether it flew or not, outsiders were not allowed to intervene or touch it; otherwise, such actions would be seen as a struggle!

But now that Liu Jingning had personally explained it, it made everyone hesitate.

After all, she was a Void Refinement Stage powerhouse and the Saintess of the Bliss Sect with an extraordinary status. Offending her seemed to have no benefits.

The Jiang family elders, out of this consideration, did not want to make things too awkward with Liu Jingning, but they still needed to save face.

Immediately, an elder said in a deep voice, "Since the Saintess says so, then it is indeed a misunderstanding! However... regardless, this young friend has broken the taboo. Please return the item, apologize to our Jiang family and the owner of the stone, and this matter will be settled!"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded.

This method of handling it was indeed not bad; it would not offend Liu Jingning, while also restoring the face and prestige of the Jiang family stone field. If it got out, it would be fine!

Liu Jingning also nodded slightly, seemingly agreeing with this approach.

In her view, this was also very reasonable, and she did not want Xu Que to be too high-profile, otherwise, it would bring big trouble!

"Little Que Que, hurry up and return the item to them, and apologize while you're at it. No need to make things too awkward!" Immediately, Liu Jingning looked at Xu Que and smiled slightly.

"Return their item and apologize to them?" Xu Que sneered immediately, "Why should I?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on Liu Jingning's face stiffened, and her heart sank, feeling that something was wrong!

She almost forgot that this little guy was not a pushover either!

Sure enough, the next moment, Xu Que turned his head to look at the group of people below and sneered: "I had no objection to returning your item, but the problem is that I was flying through the sky perfectly fine, and this damn thing suddenly flew over and almost hit me. And now I have to apologize? Why?"

"Wow!"

Instantly, everyone in the stone field was in an uproar, very shocked!

Where did this wild brat come from?

Isn't he being too arrogant?

He actually refused the step down offered to him. Looking at this, is he going to tear his face off with the Jiang family?

Liu Jingning couldn't sit still either and hurriedly said: "Little guy, don't be impulsive! This is the rule. If you had just dodged it, nothing would have happened, but you reached out to intercept it, which broke the rule!"

"Screw the rules, who set these rules?" Xu Que rolled his eyes.

At the same time, he glared at the Jiang family elders below and said coldly: "You like talking about rules, right? Fine, I'll set the rules now. This thing of yours almost hurt me. If you don't apologize to me, and don't apologize until I'm satisfied, don't even think about getting the item back!"

"Presumptuous!"

The elders below shouted in unison!

Their faces were gloomy because Xu Que's words were indeed too presumptuous. He was completely provoking the Jiang family and slapping them in the face!

A mere Infant Transformation Stage prodigy dared to be so presumptuous. If this matter wasn't handled well today, once it spread outside, the Jiang family would definitely be laughed at, and they would be punished by the Jiang family's rules!

"Saintess Liu, is this the misunderstanding you spoke of?"

"Isn't your Bliss Sect being too bullying? Do you really think our Jiang family is a soft persimmon to be squeezed at will?"

"If we don't get a satisfactory explanation for today's matter, it's absolutely not over!"

The elders shouted one after another, putting pressure on Liu Jingning!

Liu Jingning also had a headache and looked at Xu Que: "Little guy, don't mess around, apologize quickly!"

She said this, but her beautiful eyes kept signaling Xu Que, hinting for him not to cause trouble and to endure it!

Xu Que was immediately annoyed. This King of Acting Cool had roamed the world of acting cool for so long and had never suffered such grievances.

Isn't it just a Jiang family? What's there to be afraid of?

"Liu Jingning, shut up. This matter has nothing to do with you, don't drag me into your Bliss Sect!" Immediately, Xu Que shouted, his face extremely gloomy.

Everyone present was instantly dumbfounded!

What's the situation?

Wasn't it said that this brat was Liu Jingning's junior?

How dare he talk to her like that?

That is the Saintess of the Bliss Sect, a genuine Void Refinement Stage powerhouse!

And it is rumored that this Saintess is also a ruthless person who has always been cruel in her dealings!

You, a mere Infant Transformation Stage prodigy, dare to be disrespectful to her?
