Chapter 79: It's Better to Act than to Speak (Revised)

  By the side of a bamboo forest, Qin Wushuang stopped in her tracks.

  "Ximen Yu, since you're here, don't be shy. If you want to observe me, we can do it face-to-face." Qin Wushuang said with a smile.

  Ximen Yu Ben still wanted to sell a pass, and was about to reveal himself later, but was exposed by Qin Wu Shuang, so he had no choice but to show up. He was already somewhat annoyed in his heart.

  Three times in a row, he unexpectedly failed to gain the upper hand over a young man, which was an unprecedented situation for him.

  Even if this young man had obtained a mysterious encounter, even with the strength of the true martial boundary eight segments, what about it?

  He is Ximen Yu, the number one person in Nanyun State, the master of the Dajie, and a strong man in the realm of Zhenwu Jiu Duan. Regardless of status, family background, strength and insight, he should be able to suppress his opponent steadily.

  But the actual situation left him somewhat at a loss.

  There was no choice, so Ximen Yu decided to get straight to the point.

  "The Qin family's affair, the treason of the wealthy Xushi family, has led to many rumors that have harmed our Western Gate clan. After my thorough investigation, I found that the source of these rumors is from your Eastern Forest Qin family."

  Although Xi Men Yu only suspected, after careful consideration, it should be the Qin family's doing. However, there was no evidence to prove it, and for now, they would treat it as if it were true and directly attack Qin Wu Xiong.

  "An upright person is not afraid of a crooked shadow. The great tree of the Ximen family reaches for the sky, and a small breeze or wave can't have any impact on it? Moreover, this kind of catching wind and grasping shadows business, I, a young man, don't even believe in it, let alone be bored enough to weave such rumors?"

  Qin Wushuang saw through Xi Menyu's tricks as soon as he became human. With just a few words, he cleared the Qin family's name.

  "Yakou denies it, who wouldn't? What evidence do you have that this wasn't done by you, Qin?"

  Qin Wushuang pointedly retorted, "What evidence does the master of the Ximen clan have to prove that it was done by me, Qin? I'll ask boldly, isn't the master of the Ximen clan feeling guilty?"

  "Hum, what's there to be guilty about?"

  "If you have a clear conscience, why bother about a few rumors with unknown origins?"

  Ximen Yu was secretly shocked, thinking that this young man was indeed sharp and revealing. However, he smiled calmly: "I, Ximen Dafan, am not afraid of rumors, but it doesn't mean that I can tolerate them. As you said, the Ximen family is a towering tree, how can we remain unmoved in the face of some short grasses' offenses? The noble families value hierarchy and respect for superiors and inferiors, these are what our Baiyue country emphasizes."

  Raise the Ximen family's status, lower the Haomen Qin family's status, a single phrase with double meaning.

  "Who would have thought that the master of the Western Gate looks down on humble grass and shrubs? Has he not heard that even the strongest gusts of wind cannot snap a resilient blade of grass, while towering trees are no match for the saw's teeth?"

  "Sharp teeth and a sharp mouth." Ximen Yu rebuked with one sentence.

  Qin Wushuang didn't counterattack, but instead said calmly: "The master of the Ximen clan came to find me, it's not just about saying these empty words, is it?"

  Ximen Yu gazed at Qin Wushuang, trying to use his sharp eyes to dampen Qin Wushuang's momentum.

  Who would have thought that Qin Wushuang was calm and fearless, looking at him with a composed gaze.

  After a long time, Ximen Yu finally spoke up: "I heard that your sister is over twenty years old and looks elegant and refined. I have some good resources here. I'd like to arrange a marriage for her, what do you think?"

  "Thanks for your concern, Ximen Qing, but my sister already has someone she likes."

  "What's going on?" Ximen Yu's tone finally contained a hint of anger.

  "Not bad."

  Ximen's eyes flashed with a fierce light, revealing a hint of murderous intent. His tone quickened as he asked, "Doesn't Da Xiang and the young lady have an engagement between them? Don't you know that?"

  Qin Wushuang smiled slightly: "This is exactly what I want to say to Master Ximen. Since ancient times, a strong melon is not sweet. As for the engagement, everyone knows what it's all about. Da Xi Ming and my sister are in love, but with your daughter, there is no emotional connection to speak of. Tell me, Master Ximen, do you want to indulge in this temporary pleasure or ruin your daughter's life?"

  "How dare you, how can you ruin my daughter's whole life?"

  "As for marriage, you don't have feelings, I'm not willing. Getting into the wrong bridal sedan and marrying the wrong man would naturally be a lifetime of suffering. The master of the Ximen family is an understanding person, doesn't he comprehend this?"

  Ximen Yu's face gradually darkened, and he slowly walked to the side of the bamboo forest. With one hand grasping a thick bamboo stem, he exerted his strength, and the bamboo snapped in two with a loud crack, falling to the ground.

  "The Qin family's child, one thought is good, one thought is evil. If the Da Yu and Qin families do not awaken from their confusion, it would be best to take a look at the fate of this bamboo."

  Qin Wushuang saw Ximen Yu like this and became even more calm. The master of the Ximen family took action to threaten, what does that mean? It means he can't hold his temper!

  "Master Ximen, have you heard a saying? Jade may be broken but its whiteness remains unchanged; bamboo can be burned but its joints remain intact. This stalk of bamboo was pinched off by you, but each joint remains unbroken. That's what we call integrity! The bamboo stands upright, rather than bending and yielding - that's what we call character!"

  "I, Qin Shi, may be living in the countryside, but I have always taken integrity very seriously. If Ximen Kui thinks that a few threatening words can get him what he wants, then he is mistaken." Qin Wushuang's tone was calm and gentle as she said, "I have a proposal here, Ximen Kui might as well listen to it."

  Ximen Yuqiang suppressed his anger: "You tell me."

  "Have Qianjin's engagement with Da Xiyin cancelled, and let everyone get along peacefully, meeting each other with a smile and forgetting past grievances. How about that?"

  Ximen You sneered, "This proposal is perfect for you, but what benefits does it bring to the Ximen Manor? Breaking off the engagement would only damage the reputation of the Ximen Manor."

  "Otherwise, the Ximen family can take the initiative to divorce with dignity. If the head of the family feels unsatisfied, they can also ask the Daxi family to make a public apology and provide material compensation. It's all about saving face. What does the head of the Ximen family think?"

  "Absurd!" Ximen Yu was clearly uninterested in this proposal.

  "It's not impossible." Qin Wushuang shook his head seriously, "Ximen can think about it, if things don't develop in this direction and my Qin family and the Da Yu clan don't compromise, how will things develop?"

  Laying one's cards on the table, Qin Wushuang has been cautious every step of the way and finally decided to reveal his true intentions.

  "How dare you! Qin Jiazi, do you think that I, Ximen Dajie, don't have the power to destroy your Qin family and the Da Yu family? Or perhaps you still haven't figured out what it means to be a powerful family?" Ximen Yu coldly retorted.

  "The 12th largest family, ranked fifth, has a true martial artist of the ninth rank sitting in town, and there are also three to four true martial artists of the eighth rank. Not to mention in Nanyun Province, but also in the entire Redwood Kingdom, it is one of the top-ranked super families. These are all old news on the streets, not fresh at all."

  "Hmm?" Ximen Yu thought to himself, "You know it's fine," and said with a pause, "In that case, what do you think is the basis for the Daxi family and your noble Qin family to protect themselves?"

  Qin Wushuang smiled silently, gently stroking the bamboo beside him, and sighed leisurely: "Ximen Men's master, what do you think? Why must our powerful Qin family protect ourselves?"

  "Will you just sit there and wait for death?"

  "Haha, Ximen Zhuang is so confident. How about this, take a palm from me?" Qin Wushuang's tone suddenly changed.

  He said it and did it, Qin Wushuang made no signs of warning, not even moving his shoulders beforehand. But the moment his words fell, his body was already within ten meters of Ximen Yu.

  Get moving?

  Even if you have the True Martial Realm's 8th stage, how dare you attack a strong person in the True Martial Realm's 9th stage? Don't you know that this one-stage difference is the largest gap among all stages of the True Martial Realm?

  "Looking for death!"

  Ximen Yu's eyes flashed with a thought, his arm slightly raised, and he rubbed his hands together to form a hand seal.

  At this moment, Qin Wushuang's body suddenly stopped, with a smile on his face, and he said slowly: "The elder goes first, let Ximen Qianhua make the first move!"

  This action would have been better left undone; once done, Xi Men's face turned red with rage.

  Everyone who practices martial arts knows this common sense. When facing an enemy in battle, the most taboo thing is to lose one's footing and suddenly retreat halfway through an attack, leaving a huge opening behind.

  Anyone who knows how to run a household will never make this kind of mistake.

  But who really did that. There are only two reasons, one is half a bucket of water, and the other is to despise and humiliate the opponent!

  At this moment, Qin's family is clearly not unaware of this move, but rather intentionally doing so.

  "Since you're looking for death, I'll grant your wish!" Ximen Yu's anger erupted, his hands clenched into fists, and his body suddenly moved, leaving behind a trail of residual shadows that tore through the air.

  So fast, as if suddenly, the whole person disappeared into thin air.
