Chapter 49 Slapping Faces and Getting Slapped in the Face

  Call again and again, rushing to the top of the chart, votes are coming, votes are coming.

  Qin Wushuang had originally felt suspicious of Ximen Dajiao's intentions, and now he was even more certain.

  It seems that Ximen Qian has come with ill intentions, and there is a strong possibility of him seeking revenge.

  Daxu Heng didn't wait for his son to respond and hastily forced a smile, saying: "This is just a rumor meant to harm, Young Master Ximen mustn't believe it lightly."

  "Is it just a rumor? Then is it also a rumor that these two young men from humble families attended the banquet of a noble family?"

  The atmosphere on the scene suddenly became tense, and Ximen Qian's words were like dark clouds covering the top, and gloom was born.

  Da Xu Ming was locked in by Simen Qian's gaze, but he didn't panic. Instead, he said calmly: "Simen Gongzi came today to congratulate, or is it to interrogate?"

  Ximen Qian said coldly, "I, Ximen's daughter, would rather die than marry down, but I absolutely won't let you do that kind of thing. It's not about being jealous or petty, it's just that the Ximen family can't afford to lose face like this. Don't you know that even rumors alone are a great disrespect to the Ximen family, let alone being caught in the act?"

  After finishing, he suddenly stood up and stared at Qin Xiu behind Qin Wushuang with an evil gaze, clicking his tongue to comment: "Although she is a humble-born woman, she looks lovely, no wonder Da Yu Gongzi is so infatuated. Da Yu Zong, you don't need to deny or shirk this matter, I just want to hear one sentence, how will you deal with the aftermath?"

  Daxi Heng didn't expect Ximen Qian to get straight to the point, without giving them any face. Moreover, his methods were swift and decisive, leaving no room for explanation.

  She glanced at the three Xie brothers and knew that this matter must have been instigated by the Xie family behind their backs.

  "After all, as the master of a noble family, Da Xie Heng was not flustered: 'Young Master Xi Men, since our two families have a marriage agreement, our Da Xie family will follow the rules and get things done. When the wedding day arrives, we must go through with it. We absolutely won't go back on our previous promise.'"

  Ximen Qian burst out laughing, but his tone was icy: "The problem now is not whether the engagement will continue or not, but how to put an end to this rumor."

  Daxi Heng retreated and then asked in a low voice: "What profound views does Young Master Ximen have?"

  "According to me, our two families will live in peace. If not according to me, all consequences will be borne by the Da Qiushi family itself."

  A naked threat, Da Xi Heng's heart was angry, but his expression was calm and unruffled, saying lightly: "Please speak."

  "Good!" Xi Men Qian Yi waved his hand, "If you want to make the rumors disappear, there is only one way, and that is for either the Daxi aristocratic family or the humble Qin family from Luojiang County to disappear!"

  "Disappeared?" Da Xiheng furrowed his brow, "The noble seats are bestowed by the imperial family and controlled by the True Martial Sacred Land. I don't understand what you mean by 'disappeared'."

  "Don't you understand?" Ximen's face turned gloomy, the cold smile on his lips making him look even more sinister. "A noble family wanting to get rid of a lowly commoner like you doesn't need a thousand methods, eight hundred would do. Do I need to teach you one by one?"

  This tone, as if an adult scolding a child. Da Xuheng is also the master of a noble family, with at least six segments of true martial arts, higher than Simen Qian's late starter. But with a lower identity and grade, it creates such a vastly different scene.

  A birthday party turned into a denunciation meeting in the blink of an eye.

  Those guests who originally wanted to find trouble with Qin Wushuang were secretly delighted to see the situation take such a dramatic turn, but on the surface they didn't dare show any schadenfreude, and in their hearts they were gleefully waiting for more excitement.

  Isn't Da Xu Shi's family quite arrogant? Can they still be arrogant in front of the Great Threshold?

  The humble Qin family thought they had grasped a big fat leg, but now this big fat leg is weak and powerless in front of the powerful Ximen family, isn't it embarrassing?

  Every time Xi Men spoke, Qin Xiao's heart grew colder. In the end, even holding onto Qin Wu Xiang's arm couldn't stop her hands from trembling slightly.

  Qin Wushuang had been watching with cold eyes since he came in from the west gate, and after Xu Zhou whispered something to him, Qin Wushuang realized that the Xus had already hugged the thigh of the powerful Sima family.

  It seems that Qin inadvertently fell into the whirlpool of struggle between the great families.

  Generally speaking, a poor family, once trapped in such an undercurrent, will become a victim in most cases.

  Daxi hesitated, and Ximen Qian's man stepped forward, his voice low and menacing: "As the head of the Daxi clan, at a critical moment like this, such a decision should be made without any hesitation. One thought for good, one thought for evil. The Daxi clan leader wouldn't treat the survival of the family as a joke, would he?"

  Da Yu Heng's face turned red with rage as he was scolded and reprimanded by the master in front of everyone. His arms slightly raised, his head held high, the blue veins on his forehead bulging out, his whole body seemed like a ferocious beast about to pounce, stirring up a mighty storm.

  This reaction also made Ximen Qian suddenly vigilant, with his hands crossed, protecting his vital parts, and he unconsciously took a step back, staring at Da Xueheng.

  Although he didn't think that Da Xuheng had the guts to turn against him on the spot, but as someone who was always cautious in his actions, he would never dare to be careless in front of the master of a noble family.

  "Ah Heng!"

  "What are you doing?"

  Several loud shouts came from behind, and several old men rushed out of the back hall at high speed. Judging from their attire and demeanor, they were obviously the hidden elders of the Daqi family.

  Daxi Heng was interrupted, his momentum undiminished, but he suddenly let out a sigh and shook his head resolutely: "The Daxi family has its bottom line when it comes to doing things. We absolutely will not do things that harm the heavens and reason."

  Ximen Qian was intimidated by Da Yu's aura, and somewhat fearful, he smiled secretly: "If the leader of the Da Yu clan doesn't do it, that's fine, someone else will. However, in this matter, the Da Yu family must remain completely neutral and is not allowed to intervene."

  Da Xu Heng had not spoken, and several elders said: "The poor Qin family has nothing to do with my Da Xu family. Why did the Da Xu family intervene?"

  "It's true, if Master Xi Men came because of this matter, then he was being overly cautious."

  The elderly of the Xi Men Qian family were overjoyed, laughing loudly and nodding their heads: "Good, to get a word from you elders, this trip is not in vain, haha, this trip is not in vain."

  With that, he nonchalantly shook his sleeves and walked out with a carefree air.

  "Wait!"

  The atmosphere in the hall was originally very oppressive, but this "wait a minute", the voice was not loud, but it was full of energy and broke the original oppressive atmosphere.

  The atmosphere and tone that originally existed have completely unfolded as expected by Ximen Qian, and the situation is now completely under his control.

  This sudden shout seemed even more out of place, like a pearl falling onto a jade plate, instantly shattering the stifling atmosphere.

  "Master Xi Men says come and he comes, says leave and he leaves. That's your freedom. However, what you just said for half a day seems to have forgotten that the person involved is right in front of you."

  Qin Wushuang's voice was lazy and drawling, neither urgent nor slow, but rather calm and composed, as if the great Duanmu family, which was like a towering mountain, was also nothing in front of him.

  Ximen Qian stepped back but didn't turn around, shrugged his shoulders and sneered: "A humble family like yours, whether you're here or not, does it really matter?"

  "It's crucial, of course it is!"

  As soon as this sound came out, everyone in the room was stunned. Because everyone clearly saw that the person speaking was not Qin Wushuang, nor anyone else in the great hall.

  Even Qin Wushuang, who was about to speak, couldn't help but furrow his brow in surprise and look towards the outside of the door.

  Everyone's attention was focused outside the hall, and it was clear that the sound came from there. Who dared to confront the young master of the Dai family head-on? Everyone wanted to see if the newcomer had grown three heads and six arms.

  There were two people coming, one of whom Qin Wushuang actually knew. It was the examiner with a white beard who had entertained the three members of the humble Qin family at Fengze Tower.

  However, this trip is not centered around him. The main character is the middle-aged man next to him, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes that exude a sense of integrity, his sword-like eyebrows raised, giving off an aura of majesty without anger.

  It's clear that the person who spoke earlier was this sword-browed man.

  Ximen Qian's face was initially filled with disdain, but after a glance at the plum blossom emblem on the chests of these two people, his expression changed instantly. A stormy wave surged up in his heart, and four big words flashed through his mind - True Martial Sacred Land!

  Ximen Qian may be arrogant and proud, but even if his eyes were on top of his forehead, in front of the representative of the True Martial Sacred Land, he still had to lower his head.

  "Heh heh, the two of you are esteemed guests, I presume you're in charge of hosting the Luo Jiang County family's discussion on moral character?" Ximen Qian said with a steady tone.

  The sword-browed man's expression was stern, gazing at the whole scene, and he nodded slightly: "Is it Young Master Xi Men? I heard you boasting outside the door earlier that a noble family wants to make a humble family disappear, and there are thousands of ways to do it. However, I am ignorant and inexperienced, so please, Young Master Xi Men, tell me more?"

  The tone was unpleasant and anyone could hear that behind the back of this respected ambassador, there was a hint of anger hidden. The words did not give any face to Sima Daifu at all.

  Ximen Qian was even more embarrassed, he had previously boasted loudly, actually because his identity and status were the highest in the room, no one dared to question his remarks.

  In fact, in the Baiyue Kingdom, any noble family was bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor and executed through the True Martial Sacred Land. Other forces, even the four major royal families of the Baiyue Kingdom, did not have the qualifications to take away any noble family seat.

  To cancel a noble seat, there is only one way: challenge that noble in "Family Honor" and defeat them!

  In addition, only His Majesty the Emperor and the Sacred Land of Zhenwu have the qualifications to deprive the nobles of their seats!

  Ximen Qian's remarks were obviously over the top and fell into the ears of the Zhenwu Sacred Land messenger, which was naturally a very reactionary and inappropriate remark.

  Xi Men's face turned green and white in turns, the words he had just spoken were completely denied by the messenger of the True Martial Sacred Land, which was no different from being slapped in the face, his heart suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable.

  Qin Wushuang's face flashed with a hint of mockery, this Ximen Qianxun was so arrogant and domineering, having just slapped the face of the Dahe family, only to turn around and be slapped in the face by the emissary of the Zhenwu Sacred Land, truly a case of retribution, tried and tested.
