Chapter 47: A Newfound Respect

  (Today, I'll continue to update three chapters. I'm second on the newcomer list, and there's a gap with the first place, but it's still possible to touch his butt. Haha. Although we're familiar colleagues, competing with each other doesn't hurt. Whether or not it can be achieved is another matter, giving some tension and suspense makes it more interesting. So, please come and vote by clicking.)

  "Can you be any more boring?" Qin Wushuang's mouth twitched slightly, and he casually threw out a sentence, directly ignoring Du Xiang's enthusiasm and grandeur.

  That Ye Feng still has some strength, and is also a member of the aristocracy. On that occasion, Qin Wushuang was forced to defend himself and counterattack, and indeed had no choice. However, now in the Daxi family castle, he should at least give Daxi Ming some face. He doesn't want to get entangled with this inexplicable guy too much.

  Seeing Qin Wushuang ignore him, the stern rebuke of righteousness, and the surrounding cheers rising and falling, all of this made Du Xiang feel that the dignity of the noble family was deeply trampled.

  "Stay behind!"

  With a loud whoosh, his right arm lifted, fists intersecting, and suddenly struck towards Qin Wushuang's back.

  A noble young master actually dared to sneak attack a poor young master in public.

  "Halt, Du Xiang!"

  "Stop!"

  Several rebukes came in succession. Da Xiu Yue and Da Xiu Yang rushed over at the same time.

  The next moment, Du Xiang only felt a dizziness in front of his eyes, and suddenly an arm went numb, as if it was tightly bound by an iron hoop. A wave of pain spread throughout his body instantly, and his head and face were immediately covered with a waterfall of sweat.

  Qin Wushuang gazed coldly at Du Xiang, his eyes flashing like lightning, his tone stern: "You want to show off your superiority, but it has nothing to do with me; even if you maliciously provoke me, I can let it go for the sake of our master. But since you're shameless enough to sneak up and attack me from behind, don't blame me for not being polite."

  As soon as the words fell, strength surged and a fierce force pulled.

  Crack!

  Du Xiang's right arm was suddenly twisted into a rope-like shape and rolled up. One arm was actually twisted to an incredible degree.

  With a loud cry, Du Xiang fainted from pain on the spot.

  Qin Wushuang said with a hint of apology: "Miss Da Xi, this guest of yours is really quite unreasonable. Please forgive me for being a bit too forceful."

  Daxi Yue listened to Daxi Ming, they mentioned Qin Wushuang's tactics before, and knew that Qin Wushuang had actually shown mercy with his hands down. Given Qin Wushuang's usual tactics, not killing Du Xiang on the spot was already giving Tian Da a big face.

  "This matter, you are not wrong." Da Xueyue still has this ability to distinguish right from wrong.

  But what Daxi Yue said was a sentence that made the nobles around her shocked. Miss Daxi Yue actually defended a poor scholar?

  "Miss Yu, Du Xiang shouldn't have made the first move, but this poor boy is indeed a bit arrogant." A male classmate who was also from a noble family smiled and said.

  "Mr. Mei is right, to be honest, as a poor scholar, he shouldn't have come to Miss Yue's banquet in the first place. Du Xiang's intention to maintain the dignity of the nobility is also good."

  Da Xueyue and these classmates, most of them are further studying at Akagi Bujin. The students come from the eight major states of Akagi O, 64 counties, not to mention the young masters of the aristocratic families, there are also many young masters of the big families.

  So there were also many young masters from aristocratic families who came to attend Miss Yue's banquet. These young masters of aristocratic families, like Ye Feng, all had some sense of superiority as noble gentlemen.

  Of course, in Qin Wushuang's view, this sense of superiority was simply ridiculous. He slowly scanned the group of so-called upper-class nobles who were indignant on Du Xiang's behalf and said calmly: "My Qin family is indeed a humble family, and attending this gathering was originally just to give face to Da Yuming. Who knew that participating in this gathering would be a bunch of petty-minded people? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come. You all want to take revenge for what happened earlier, you can find me alone after the event. This is the grand occasion of the Da family, and conflicts should not occur here, lest it affect the host's face."

  As soon as these words came out, they immediately triggered a burst of boos. Obviously, with Qin Wushuang's identity as a poor scholar, everyone felt that he didn't have the qualifications to say such things from any angle.

  One of the young masters sneered: "Qin family child, do you know that this one sentence has offended all the noble children here?"

  Qin Wushuang smiled faintly and said calmly: "I didn't plan on pleasing anyone anyway."

  After finishing speaking, he ignored the various expressions of this group of noble sons and daughters, smiled lightly, and turned to leave.

  Just as he was about to leave the hall, go out and get some fresh air, Da Xi Ming happened to bring Qin Xiu from behind, and at a glance, he saw the awkwardness of the scene. The smile on his face suddenly stopped, and there were several more parts of anger between his eyebrows.

  He naturally knew that with Qin Wushuang's personality, she would never take the initiative to provoke trouble. And his sister Daxi Yue and her classmates were all arrogant, most of them were afraid that the world was not chaotic enough. Who was right or wrong was obvious. He had hinted at Daxi Yue before, but he didn't expect these people to have no self-awareness at all.

  "Unparalleled brothers, stay your steps."

  Qin Wushuang turned around and sighed, "Da Xi Gege, it seems that the children of humble families are not very popular here."

  Da Xu Ming's face was gloomy, and he turned to Da Xu Yue and said: "Yue Er, you are the protagonist of today's banquet. These people are your friends that you invited. I hope everything will be moderate."

  Daxi Yue was also furious, glaring at Du Xiang before scanning the group of classmates with unpleasant expressions. He said loudly, "Fellow students, everyone who has come to this banquet today is a guest of the Daxi family. Regardless of status or background, if there are any unresolved conflicts between you, you can settle them privately outside the gates of the Daxi estate. Whoever dares to provoke trouble at the banquet will be going against the Daxi family!"

  As soon as the host spoke, those aristocratic sons who had originally intended to stir up trouble immediately became solemn and put away their arrogant airs. They had originally wanted to show off in front of Da Xue Yue, not really to take Da Xiang's side. From Da Xue Yue's tone, it was clear that he didn't like them being too ostentatious, so they naturally restrained themselves.

  Just looking at Qin Wushuang's eyes, no matter how you look at it, it still doesn't feel right.

  Qin Xiu was clever and agile, naturally guessing what had happened. She walked over, her hands clasped around her brother's arm, warily watching this group of troublemaking nobles.

  She has no strength to truss a chicken, but on the grand stage, she is advancing and retreating with Qin Wushuang, and no one dares to bully Qin Wushuang in front of her.

  Just then, a voice came from inside: "Old Lady Da Xi has arrived!"

  The hall, which was originally noisy, suddenly fell silent when they heard the loud announcement. The expressions of Dasheng's three siblings also became very solemn and respectful in an instant.

  Especially the nobles of Luojiang County, who knew more about Lao Tai's transcendent status in the Daqin family, all sat upright and waited for Lao Tai to appear with respectful expressions.

  Under the gaze of the crowd, an old lady with white hair and a youthful face, was personally supported by Da Xishan, the head of the Da family, and slowly walked into the hall.

  The old lady was radiant, with a kind smile on her face. Seeing the guests filling the room, she couldn't help but smile and nod. Catching sight of Qin Shou from afar, her smile grew even brighter, and she beckoned to her, signaling for her to come over.

  "Grandma said we can go through."

  Daxi Ming had previously taken Qin Xiu to pay respects to the old lady, and regardless of her appearance or character, she had won over the old lady's infinite favor. In the back hall, she had already instructed Daxi Heng a lot, hinting that she liked Qin Xiu very much, and if they were to choose a daughter-in-law, this Qin family girl would be the first choice.

  Da Xu Heng could only smile wryly, not daring to object or agree.

  Qin Xiu walked over and said politely: "Xiu'er wishes Old Lady a healthy body and longevity comparable to the Southern Mountains."

  Then Qin Wushuang waved his hand and introduced: "This is Xiu Er's younger brother Qin Wushuang."

  Qin Wushuang smiled and said, "Greetings, old lady."

  "Good, very good, a talented person." The old lady loved the house and the crow, holding Qin Wushuang's hand, gently patted it several times, with boundless kindness.

  Qin Wushuang, however, was a master of the grand style. With just one handshake with the old lady, he could sense that she had also been a great martial artist in her youth, but now her pulse was empty and hollow, seemingly weak and irritable, with symptoms of liver qi stagnation.

  At this moment, a faint smile appeared on her face, and she said in a low voice: "Unexpectedly, the old lady was also a master of martial arts, and Wushuang had misjudged her earlier."

  She deliberately lowered her voice, only letting Old Lady and Da Xuheng know. Although not intentionally showing off, there was also a hint of revealing meaning.

  Of course, this move was not to promote himself, but some efforts made for his sister Qin Xiu. Because he had already seen that the old lady had a good impression of his sister. Worth fighting for.

  As soon as this was said, the old lady was suddenly stunned. The calm expression on Da Xuheng's face also added a few more doubts, and he looked at Qin Wushuang with some surprise.

  "The old lady was born with a deficiency and her vital energy is insufficient, she needs good care and nourishment."

  Da Xu Heng asked in a deep voice: "What makes you think so?"

  "The old lady's martial arts practice was of the yin-yang soft path. However, she had given birth to many children and had a lot of household chores, which led to her being overworked and having a lot of worries, causing her to lose control of her vital energy. This resulted in an imbalance of yin and yang, leading to internal fire and madness, ultimately damaging all the meridians in her body and losing all her martial arts abilities." Qin Wushuang's past life was that of a martial arts master and a medical saint, so he was quite familiar with this kind of symptom. He began to speak fluently about it.

  Da Yu Heng initially had a skeptical expression, but by the end, he was solemn and serious. His gaze towards Qin Wu Xiang had a hint of reevaluation!
