Girl, There's Something Wrong With You - Chapter 5
Tomorrow, Cheng Jinyang is going to visit the Qinghe Cui family, so he has a lot to prepare today.
Invitation cards, meeting gifts, and the cumbersome rules of noble families are giving Cheng Jinyang a headache.
Fortunately, with the help of his knowledgeable cousin(Cheng Yuexian) and capable cousin(Cheng Huaiyan), everything is finally ready.
“By the way,” Cheng Yuexian suddenly said, “a group of our clan members got into a brawl this morning, and several people were injured. I need to tell you about it…”
“A brawl?” Cheng Jinyang was furious. “What’s wrong with these people?”
Do they think I’m a fake clan leader? They dare to brawl, as if our clan rules aren’t strict enough or the law isn’t enforced?
“Um,” Cheng Yuexian hesitated, “maybe you should check the clan forum?”
Seeing his cousin’s attitude, Cheng Jinyang took out his phone and logged onto the clan forum, which he hadn’t visited in a long time.
Then his eyes were almost burned.
What the heck?
The clan forum was flooded again, and the top post was titled “The Goddess Is Our Heaven,” with nearly 13,000 replies.
Goddess? That title sounds familiar!
Cheng Jinyang suddenly remembered that when he first joined the Shendu Cheng family, he encountered a group of licking dogs…
“Are those restless guys causing trouble again?” he thought irritably, rubbing his temples as his thoughts drifted back to a few months ago.
After Cheng Jinyang left the clan school and joined Tianluo, he completely separated from the lives of these ordinary clan members.
Probably curious about the whereabouts of their nemesis, these followers of the Goddess Ah Zhi Sect even skipped classes several times to spy on Luo Hall. They were all caught by the Tianluo under Cheng Huaiyan and sent back to the clan school managed by Cheng Yuexian, each receiving a demerit, and soon they calmed down.
After that was Wang Chuzhong’s rebellion. The fifth-grade noble families were worried about taking the wrong side and adopted a split strategy to protect themselves, with some people from the Shendu Cheng family leaving.
Of course, there were also stirrings within the Goddess Ah Zhi Sect, but they were quickly suppressed by the chief licking dog Cheng Zi’ang: After all, the Goddess Ah Zhi is our heaven, and since the Goddess chose to stand with Jiankang City, how dare you go to the Longxiang Army?
Therefore, aside from a few followers taken away by their families, the Goddess Ah Zhi Sect maintained a high level of revolutionary purity, without making fundamental mistakes on major issues.
Then, after Cheng Benhe, the old clan leader died, Cheng Jinyang was appointed the new clan leader under critical circumstances, and the Goddess Ah Zhi Sect faced a more essential line issue.
Some insisted on the purity and independence of the Goddess Ah Zhi, believing Cheng Jinyang needed to be purged (he must not taint Ah Zhi).
Others claimed to have become fans of Cheng Jinyang. After all, who pulled the whole clan out of the mire after the old clan leader died? It’s self-evident. Such a heroic figure, doesn’t he deserve our supreme Goddess?
Thus, the Goddess Ah Zhi Sect split into two factions: the No-Male-Leads faction and the CP (Couple Pairing) faction. The former accused the latter of being revisionist, while the latter accused the former of being dogmatic. The two sides argued fiercely in the family forum.
Of course, whether idols can get married is an age-old dilemma, even in another world.
After all, some people ship CPs, while others have a strong desire for exclusivity. The two sides are destined to misunderstand each other’s perspectives.
After several heated disputes, the two sides finally secretly marked out a battleground and scheduled a fight…
“So, did anyone get hurt… Forget it, I’ll ask someone else.” Cheng Jinyang picked up his phone and sent a message to Yang Wangshu:
“Come to my office.”
His older cousins left first. After a while, Yang Wangshu cautiously peeked inside from the door.
“Come in.” Cheng Jinyang knocked on the table. “With that big mask on your head, what are you sneaking around for?”
Yang Wangshu let out an “eh-heh-heh” sound, surprisingly not using her electronic synthesized voice this time, but a voice pack from an anime character, and walked in openly.
Sitting opposite Cheng Jinyang, she ungracefully propped one foot on the chair, absentmindedly picking her nails with her right hand while tapping on the keyboard with her left, saying:
“What do you want? Hurry up, my guild war in the game starts in twelve minutes. I don’t have time to chat with you.”
“What’s going on with the split in your Goddess Ah Zhi Sect?” Cheng Jinyang pushed his phone over, upside down. “Explain.”
“Uh.” Yang Wangshu was silent for a while, then jumped down from the chair. “I just remembered I got the time wrong. The guild war actually starts in two minutes. Let’s talk after I finish that round.”
She turned to leave, but before she could take a step, Cheng Jinyang pressed her shoulders from behind, skillfully turning her back around.
“Really, I’m not lying!” The little girl turned around again, only to be turned back by Cheng Jinyang; she turned again, and was turned back again, getting so anxious she stomped her feet, nearly crying—if it weren’t for the mask covering her face.
“Jinyang, about tomorrow’s visit…” Xing Yuanzhi walked in with documents in her arms, only to see Cheng Jinyang pressing down on Xiao Wangshu’s shoulders, the latter’s petite body struggling continuously, seemingly under some form of violent coercion.
“Huh?!”
…
“So, I already said, I wasn’t bullying her on purpose!”
Cheng Jinyang angrily pounded the table, Yang Wangshu sat obediently beside him, and Xing Yuanzhi held her phone with a face full of embarrassment, as if she had been constipated for years.
“This, what does this have to do with me…” Xing Yuanzhi moaned, covering her face in shame.
“She’s worshipping you, how can it have nothing to do with you?” Cheng Jinyang asked her maliciously. “Confess honestly, was it you who organized this? What’s your purpose in promoting superstitious worship in my territory? Did you get approval? Are you being instructed by external forces?”
Seeing Ah Zhi wish she could just dig a hole and disappear, Xiao Wangshu quickly jumped up and shouted, “You can’t bully Sister Ah Zhi! If you have a problem, come at me!”
“This mess is all because of you!” Cheng Jinyang immediately pushed her back into her chair.
On the other side, Xing Yuanzhi finally came to her senses and frowned, “Wangshu, is there something you’re hiding from me?”
“Woo!” Just a moment ago, Xiao Wangshu had been thinking of joining forces with Sister Ah Zhi to fight the scumbag, but now that Sister Ah Zhi had turned on her, she let out a pitiful wail. Under the pressure of both of them, she quickly confessed everything clearly:
Ever since Cheng Jinyang became the clan leader, Cheng Yuexian had been deliberately building his reputation. During the war, his contributions were evident to everyone, which led to some discordant voices in the Goddess Ah Zhi Sect, with people starting to support Clan Leader Cheng.
As the chief devotee of the “Only Love Ah Zhi” club, Yang Wangshu couldn’t tolerate the fanbase shifting their support. So, she pinned the traitors’ posts to the top of the club’s private forum and scolded them harshly.
Unexpectedly, her actions quickly aroused public anger. Many people said that “I’m a fan of Ah Zhi” and “I’m a fan of Jinyang” were not contradictory. Once the Cheng and Xing clans formed an marriage alliance, wouldn’t these two people become one family? Wouldn’t it be great to be fans of both?
Yang Wangshu was furious and posted angrily: How could my Sister Ah Zhi possibly marry that big pig!
This enraged some members of the Cheng clan: Our Jinyang is the clan leader after all, who the hell are you calling a pig?
As a result, one-third of the Ah Zhi club members immediately left, causing a sharp drop in forum traffic and severely damaging its vitality. Administrator Cheng Zi’ang volunteered to bring everyone back, and Yang Wangshu, feeling somewhat regretful, agreed to his request.
But after Cheng Zi’ang found those people, he turned against her, declaring that Yang Wangshu’s “Only Love Ah Zhi” was heretical. True devotees of the Goddess Ah Zhi should want her to find her own happiness, changing the doctrine from “Only Love Ah Zhi” to “True Love Ah Zhi”…
Yang Wangshu was infuriated and rallied the remaining members of the forum to fight against Cheng Zi’ang.
This led to the group brawl that broke out earlier this morning.
