Chapter 1144: Chapter 1143: A Brawl

"Master, Zhou Shengjie and the people from the Cloud Sea Sect are fighting!" Wei Zhongxun pushed the door open and entered.

Beisitian stood up and walked out. Just as she stepped out of the room, she heard the sounds of angry curses, seemingly coming from the stairway.

It turned out Zhou Shengjie had been waiting by the stairway to ambush someone. He wasn’t foolish; he didn’t pick someone of particularly high status or someone too young, as that could easily provoke a strong backlash. He targeted a young man, one who appeared somewhat lean.

Xu Lian from the Cloud Sea Sect caught his attention. Xu Lian was the young man involved with Wen Xin, apparently quite familiar with Chu Fenglei.

Xu Lian wasn’t short, but he was a bit smaller compared to Zhou Shengjie. Additionally, being on the leaner side, he was caught off guard at the stairway. Zhou Shengjie, without much reason, pinned him down and gave him a thorough beating. Xu Lian, bewildered and enraged, wanted to retaliate but found himself unable to move, taking a solid thrashing.

Another elder from the Cloud Sea Sect as well as family sects friendly to the Cloud Sea Sect hurried over, pulling the two apart. Although they were Hidden Families, partiality was inevitable, resulting in Zhou Shengjie also getting hit.

Later, it was people from the Modern Family who arrived and dragged Zhou Shengjie out of the chaos.

Zhou Shengjie was so agitated because of the Ancient Family’s attitude, which directly intensified his emotions.

Zhou Shengjie was covered in bruises, and Xu Qian was the same, with blood under his nose. Two Mystic Doctors engaging in a fistfight was truly undignified!

Xu Qian probably also didn’t expect to find himself in such a predicament. Coming to his senses, he felt incredulous, his face turning an iron-blue with rage, and he felt extremely annoyed.

Gasping, Zhou Shengjie pointed at the people from the Ancient Family, genuinely realizing their shamelessness, even being biased. There was no trace of the profound heritage an Ancient Family should have!

"It’s because of you. My uncle was harmed by you!" Zhou Shengjie shouted.

The people from the Ancient Family all had somber expressions. Most present were young, full of vigor, hence the partiality. They merely sneered silently at Zhou Shengjie’s accusation.

Not defending themselves didn’t equate to admission. The people from the Ancient Family looked at Zhou Shengjie with sarcastic eyes, making him tremble with anger.

Beside them, Mo Qinghe spoke coldly, "Given our current situation, if the Nie Family wanted to take action, they wouldn’t need to hide it. And our Modern Family has always been united, never would we do something like taking someone’s life. This incident can only be done by your Ancient Family!"

Mo Qinghe glanced around the room, "Even if our Modern Family’s strength and capability aren’t as strong as yours, we have solid backbones and will never allow anyone to oppress and humiliate us without reason. The Ancient Family must give us an explanation for this matter; otherwise, it will not rest until one of us falls!"

Zhou Shengjie, as if encouraged, shouted loudly, "You must give an explanation, or it will not rest until one of us falls!"

In the crowd, Chu Fenglei frowned. It indeed developed this way; once the conflict escalated to one between the Ancient Family and the Modern Family, it inevitably turned into a significant issue.

The Ancient Family bore responsibility for this; their aloof and indifferent attitude determined the trajectory of the conflict. Unfortunately, he was of little influence here, as a junior, with nothing significant to say.

He also noticed that Beisitian’s stance towards the Modern Family was to intervene just to prevent further escalation.
