Chapter 77 Repeatedly Unpredictable

  His reaction was not beyond Qin Wubai's expectations.

  Even Yun Qingyan and Da Xiyang were observing the reactions of these few stars. Especially Yun Qingyan, who had also heard some rumors about the grudges between the Qin family and the Ximen clan.

  Seeing Ximen's young master having such a shocked reaction, Yun Qingyan felt proud in her heart. All these glories, she was part of them after all.

  "So, sir, are you surnamed Qin or is it a compound surname of Da Xi?" The tone of Xing Shao's voice was clearly hesitant, probing.

  In his tone, a subtle signal inadvertently flowed out. He was very wary of the Qin family, otherwise, according to the pattern of Luojiang County, he should have mentioned the Da Xie family first and then the Qin family.

  But what he asked was whether it was Qin or the compound surname Da Xi. The order of this before and after is incredibly subtle.

  "My surname is Qin." Qin Wusuo replied calmly.

  Xing Shao's expression stiffened again, as if he had been bitten by a venomous snake somewhere on his body, and the muscles on his face twitched noticeably.

  The surname is Qin, Qin Wushuang, and indeed it's this name.

  The name that made Ximen Qian's brother furious, the name that gave the second master of "Cold Blooded Thirteen Hawks" a headache, actually bumped into him.

  The worst thing is that the current situation for him is simply riding a tiger and finding it hard to get off!

  That triangular eye covered his waist, a belly full of bitter water came forward, pointing at Qin Wushuang: "Xing Shao, it's this bastard, sneaky and treacherous..."

  Xing Shao Da Ming Xi Men Xing, was a belly full of anger, turned over and slapped him with the back of his hand, scolding: "I think you're the idiot!"

  This sudden move was unexpected by Sanjiao Yan, let alone the other martial arts practitioners in the provincial city. The martial arts practitioners from outside the province were even more stunned.

  I completely don't understand what this young master is up to, his attitude is repetitive and contradictory, it's simply impossible to grasp, is the way of doing things for a big family's son really so muddled?

  At first, everyone thought he was going to make peace and appreciated him for it; but as the conversation took a turn, it became clear that he was looking for trouble with those three people, which made everyone's good impression of him suddenly...

  Unexpectedly, after saying a few words, he slapped another palm on his companion's face.

  This is even more a stroke of genius, completely making onlookers lose their logical thinking ability. Can only sigh: the actions of a superior person cannot be inferred by ordinary reasoning.

  However, those who knew the inside story, such as Qin Wushuang and Da Xiyang, just smiled without saying a word. The few people who came with Ximen Xing later also shook their heads with wry smiles.

  Don't mess with anyone, don't mess with people from Luojiang County.

  It's okay if people from Laojiang County come, why provoke Qin Wushuang?

  Even if you've offended Qin Wushuang, it's not right to still be so tactless at this time and address people as "bastards", how can Ximen Xing bear with that?

  This triangular-eyed guy is so lacking in conscience, it's strange if he doesn't get beaten up.

  But just this slap passed, Sanjiao Yan Wutong still didn't understand, covering his burning cheek, with a wronged face, stuttering: "Xing Shao, why did you hit me?"

  "I've long heard that when you entered the city gate, you galloped wildly on horseback, trampling pedestrians and whipping people. As a martial artist of Nanyun State, don't you think this behavior has already shamed Nanyun State? Today is the gathering of top martial artists in Nanyun State, yet you're here causing trouble and completely lacking the dignity of a host. This slap is to teach you a lesson! From now on, if you lose face outside of Nanyun State, killing you would be no more than what you deserve!"

  San Jiao Yan Wu Tong Zhang's mouth was wide open, his face full of confusion and incomprehension. When did Xing Shao become the spokesperson for justice? Galloping wildly, stirring up trouble - weren't these all Ximen Xing's specialties in the past? How come today when it's on his head, the crime is so severe?

  Although Yun Qingyan is a bit careless, he can also see that Ximen Xing is just pretending to be forced and finding an excuse for himself.

  Why find an excuse, undoubtedly, Ximen Xing is afraid, he fears Qin Wushuang.

  The young master of the Dai family was afraid of the young masters of the Lujiang County, which made Yun Qingyan, who was also a young master of the Lujiang County, feel relieved.

  What is called being arrogant in front and humble in back, what is called a one hundred and eighty degree attitude turn, this is a living example!

  Fortunately, there were several quick-witted martial arts students behind San Jiao Yan who secretly pulled him to the back. This guy was single-minded and if he continued to entangle, Xing Shao would have killed him out of frustration.

  "Everyone, I am Ximen Xing, the great Ximen. Today, at this gathering, I have no other intention but to say two words - Unity!"

  "What is unity for? It's so that everyone can work together with one heart, in this martial arts trial, to win more honor for Nan Yun State. The better our results, the greater the honor of Nan Yun State will be! And the higher our ranking under the leadership of King Akagi!"

  It's unclear whether Qin Wushuang is speaking out of turn, but at least it makes sense emotionally and logically, without being completely absurd.

  No matter what, these wu tong and Nan Yun state are tied together in honor and shame. If Nan Yun state performs poorly and ranks low, it will not bring any benefits to them, but rather many disadvantages.

  After all, in this world, everyone recognizes the signboard. What is a signboard? It's like going to university in the previous life, famous universities have the style of famous universities; key universities have the style of key universities; different signboards, different treatments, and the reputation gained from people before and after is also vastly different.

  "What I'm saying, does it make sense?"

  "Yes!" responded those martial arts students from the provincial capital, who were all waiting for an opportunity to flatter Ximen Qing.

  Outside the county, these martial arts practitioners were still hesitant about Ximen Xing's style of doing things and had not yet made a statement. For the time being, they just felt that this person's attitude was too changeable and did not rush to follow him.

  Ximen Xing didn't mind either, and smiled as he asked Qin Wushuang: "Brother Qin, do you think what I said is correct?"

  "Words are reasonable, saying good or bad is all up to you. I only ask one question, in this Nan Yun state city, if someone intentionally destroys unity, what should be done?"

  Ximen Xing said sternly: "No need to say, let's go all out to punish him! As for the harm to the group, I have always advocated severe punishment!"

  Yun Qingyan couldn't help but laugh and said leisurely, "With Young Master Xi Men's words, we can finally speak freely. That friend of yours is not ordinary at all. He doesn't even let people speak, and if they say a word, he'll break their legs, how overbearing."

  "Considering he's a first-time offender, I'll just give him a slap on the ear to teach him a lesson. If he offends again, I'll skin him alive myself!" Ximen Xing's eyes narrowed, "Everyone listen up! From now on, we all represent Nanyun Province! We're all comrades standing on the same front line, and whoever disrupts our unity will not be forgiven by me, Ximen Xing!"

  Whether this statement is true or false, it has won a good impression. Among the many martial arts students present, only Ximen Xing stood out and said so, which shows that he is qualified enough.

  After all, as the head of the first family in Nanyun State and the only Da Ge family, he has the qualifications and the obligation to stand up and make a call.

  Qin Wushuang hoped that he was telling the truth, after all, he was participating in the Martial Arts Trial, and it would be better to have fewer troubles.

  Although Ximen Qing had made his position clear, the estrangement that had developed earlier was not so easily dispelled, and the martial arts schools of the provincial capital and the various counties were clearly divided into two factions.

  The young men from each county, after the commotion just now, have instead cast aside their previous reserve and are all gathered together, interacting with one another.

  And on the other side of the provincial capital, it's still their circle.

  Although Ximen Qing tried his best to make adjustments, the so-called "forced melon is not sweet", no matter how he adjusted, the martial arts children of each county always seemed out of place compared to those in the state city.

  The martial arts schools of the provincial capital also found it difficult to put aside their pride and let the people of the provincial capital take the initiative to go to the various counties' martial arts schools, which was even more difficult than iron trees blooming.

  This world, after all, doesn't have a communication system as developed as in the previous life, and it's hard to imagine a phone call spanning the globe.

  Even with carrier pigeons, no mature system was formed here.

  Most of the outer counties' martial arts practitioners were still unfamiliar with the name Qin Wushuang. Only a few counties close to Luojiang County had vaguely heard of this name, but more often they had heard about the good show of Hanmen challenging the wealthy Xushi family, and Qin Wushuang's excellent performance in the competition.

  As for what kind of performance Qin Wushuang had, it was completely unknown. As for the conflict with Ximen Dafan, the news was deliberately blocked by the relevant parties, and the outside world knew even less about it.

  As a result, the outer county martial artists were puzzled by Ximen Xing's attitude of being arrogant and then respectful, and they all came to greet him, trying to find out what was going on. They were all brought over by Qin Wushuang's words.

  Although Yun Qingyan had some small vanity, she also understood the depth and shallowness of things, knowing that it was related to the secrets of the great families. She rarely mentioned the wonderful taste, so when others asked about Qin Wushuang's affairs, she only talked about the disputes between the Jiangnan aristocratic families, without mentioning the Ximen family at all...

  Just as the commotion was in full swing, someone with sharp eyes shouted: "The prefect of the province has arrived!"

  In a province, the governor is the highest official in charge of all administrative, economic and cultural aspects of the province, an undisputed top leader.

  This local administrative officer is appointed by the true martial sacred place and has a very high status. Generally, local powerful nobles have to show respect for him.

  It is said that the Magistrate has arrived, and one by one they all stopped discussing and looked over with attention.
