Chapter 2340: Chapter 2341: A Woman Holds the Line, Ten Thousand Foes Cannot Enter (2nd Update)
Yue Guannan raised her hand to gather her loose hair at the back into a bun, then turned around to scan everyone present.
Where her gaze swept, many people couldn’t help but glance aside to avoid it.
There was no other reason.
Her gaze was simply too sharp and terrifying, like the edge of a keen blade that sent chills down one’s spine.
Even Long Yushu and Sima Chongzhao, who had already resolved inwardly, couldn’t help but change their expressions slightly.
At the same time, Yue Guannan casually grabbed a stool beside her and stepped forward towards everyone.
Under the pressure of her aura, many people instinctively took a few steps back.
Then they saw Yue Guannan heavily place the stool and sat down directly.
The atmosphere instantly fell silent.
Because people didn’t know what Yue Guannan intended to do.
Yue Guannan was in no hurry to explain, until after a long while, she finally spoke slowly in a cold tone.
"I know many of you think that with Yue Shifang’s death, the Yue Clan will become a plaything for others to bully, but I just want to tell you, you’re wrong!"
With her words, Yue Guannan suddenly raised her eyes, a violent Sha aura surging from her body.
"As long as I, Yue Guannan, am here, those of you with ill intentions shall not stir up any storm!"
Every word she uttered echoed with supreme authority in the room, causing everyone’s expressions to change.
At least for Long Yushu and Sima Chongzhao, who originally planned to take advantage of the situation, their faces now turned extremely unsightly.
Because everyone knew who Yue Guannan was referring to, it was practically like pointing at their noses and scolding them, something they could not tolerate.
Especially Sima Chongzhao, the most vicious and domineering of them, who gritted his teeth and then gave a sinister smile.
"Yue Guannan, I really didn’t expect you to be Yue Shifang’s sister, but considering your age, you should be his sister from one of his past lives, right?"
Yue Guannan slightly raised an eyebrow, "So what if I am? Does the Patriarch of the Sima Family wish to meddle in the private affairs of the Yue household?"
"Haha, I’m not interested in the trivial matters of your Yue Clan, I just want to know what gives you the confidence to spout such big words, do you think you’re still the Commander-in-Chief of the Yue Clan?"
Yue Guannan sneered, "If the Patriarch of the Sima Family is not convinced, you can come and try, I’ll show you what gives me the confidence."
Sima Chongzhao was taken aback, then gave a few strange laughs.
"Okay. You asked for it, so don’t blame me for taking action at your Yue Clan’s head’s funeral, after all, I am somewhat of an elder to you!"
Despite his courteous words, Sima Chongzhao showed no mercy in his actions.
He charged towards Yue Guannan like a released arrow, raising a hand to strike with his palm.
The palm was so fierce that if it hit, Yue Guannan would likely suffer from broken bones and torn muscles.
But Yue Guannan didn’t dodge at all, instead, she raised her cold gaze to meet the incoming palm.
As the palm neared Yue Guannan’s face, a sadistic smile appeared on Sima Chongzhao’s face.
He loved nothing more than personally ruining beautiful women like Yue Guannan, it gave him an almost morbid pleasure.
But unexpectedly, instead of feeling the expected soft sensation, Sima Chongzhao felt a chill on his wrist and then intense pain.
When he looked down, he saw that his hand had already been severed at the wrist, with blood spurting from the wound.
"Ahhhhh!" Sima Chongzhao roared in pain, involuntarily stepping back a few paces, then looked at Yue Guannan with a grave expression.
"What’s going on? What did you use to injure me?"
In truth, it wasn’t just Sima Chongzhao who was in shock, but everyone present wore bewildered expressions.
After all, Sima Chongzhao was a Quasi-Saint, with a body as hard as steel, ordinary weapons couldn’t even scratch him.
But just now, people didn’t see Yue Guannan make any moves, yet Sima Chongzhao’s wrist was severed.
This was naturally quite unbelievable.
Yet Yue Guannan held Sima Chongzhao’s severed hand, completely ignoring the blood on it, and said with an icy smile, "Surprised?"
With that, Yue Guannan squeezed hard.
Bang.
The severed hand was crushed to a bloody pulp in Yue Guannan’s grasp.
Sima Chongzhao grunted, his eyes filled with shock and rage.
Though the injury was minor for him, the humiliation was extreme.
Yue Guannan giggled delicately, then wiped her blood-stained fingers lightly on her lips.
In an instant, Yue Guannan’s lips turned scarlet, adding a splash of color to her pale cheeks.
"Want to know what I used to hurt you, come and try again!" Yue Guannan murmured.
But this time Sima Chongzhao hesitated.
Because he really didn’t know what kind of trump card Yue Guannan held.
Just now his wrist seemed to suddenly break, this bizarre injury made him wary.
As mentioned before, Sima Chongzhao was innately extremely cautious and suspicious.
Especially now, Yue Guannan’s confident demeanor made him even more guarded.
"Hmph, whatever trick you used, I won’t bother with you, but just know, you may protect the Yue Clan for now, but not forever!"
With that, Sima Chongzhao turned to call Long Yushu.
"Let’s go!"
Actually, Long Yushu didn’t plan on leaving, but now that he and Sima Chongzhao were in the same boat, sharing the same fate.
Now that Sima Chongzhao was injured by Yue Guannan, clearly he couldn’t stay any longer.
He had no choice but to leave together.
Once their two families left, the atmosphere in the hall instantly lightened.
Everyone looked at Yue Guannan, who sat in front of the coffin like a lone general guarding against a multitude, with awe.
Because she had just scared off the patriarch of the prestigious Sima Family.
Only the second young lady’s eyes showed a hint of worry.
Because she alone understood the price Yue Guannan paid for that strike just now.
"Second Miss, Miss Yue, now that the Long Family and Sima Family have left, there’s not much going on here, so we of the Gu Clan will take our leave, but when is the date for the Family Head’s funeral?" Gu Wangya asked.
The funeral referred to here is actually the burial ceremony.
Second Miss bowed her head and said, "Xue An is overseeing the construction of the tomb, at most it will be completed in seven days, then it will be the date of the funeral!"
"Oh! In that case, I shall return in seven days!" With that, Gu Wangya took his leave.
Once she left, the Zhongli Family, Song Family and other families also departed one after another.
In the blink of an eye, the previously bustling courtyard became quiet.
Then the second miss got up and walked to Yue Guannan’s side, "They’ve all left, no need to force yourself, take a rest now!"
