Free Web NovelChapter 758: Chapter 193: Kneel! Apologize! (Second Update)
Ying Chuan’s face changed, involuntarily shrinking back behind the Elder of the Ying Family.
This made the Elder’s discontent grow even stronger. He took a step forward, blocking Ying Chuan, and said to Mu Qingge, "City Lord Mu! The matter of you cutting out our Second Young Master’s tongue has already been personally dealt with by the Young Master, and we naturally will not pursue it further. Now, why bring it up again and insult our Second Young Master? Besides, whatever grudge you had with our Second Young Master, he has let it go and sincerely seeks to marry Miss Xuewu. If you press so forcefully, it seems somewhat inappropriate!"
The Elder of the Ying Family spoke with confidence, feeling that Mu Qingge was being extremely impolite by bursting in, while they had shown great tolerance, already giving much face.
Mu Qingge’s lips curled into a smile, with a hint of coldness. "By your words, I should be grateful that you’ve come to propose?"
The Elder of the Ying Family’s face stiffened, frowning, unsure how to respond.
Ying Chuan hid behind the Elder, eyes downcast, his pupils darting around in a cold, malicious manner, invisible to others.
He hadn’t expected Mu Qingge to be at the Sang Family, much less that she would show no regard for the Ying Family.
Mu Qingge walked forward slowly, step by step, until she reached the edge of the steps. She did not step down, but looked down haughtily at the Ying Family’s people, her eyes mocking, "Is my sister unable to get married or something, needing your Ying Family to propose? Saying no to the marriage means no, yet you persist in entangling. What is it? Trying to use the Ying Family to pressure us? Or do you think everyone is eager to climb up your high branch, and if Mu Xuewu doesn’t marry, you feel it’s a loss of face, and it must be a forced marriage?"
After speaking, her gaze became sharp, the aura around her increasing greatly, exuding a readiness to fight at the slightest disagreement.
The Elder of the Ying Family, previously speaking confidently, was forced back a step by her aura. He exclaimed in shock, "City Lord Mu, is it not unfair for you to speak this way? It is well known that our Second Young Master has admired Miss Xuewu for many years. Now, he is here sincerely to propose, without any ulterior motives. Could it be that City Lord Mu is so forceful as to not allow our Second Young Master to have feelings for Miss Xuewu?"
Unexpectedly, Mu Qingge responded crisply, "That’s right! I do not allow it."
"You!" The Elder of the Ying Family, his beard bristling in anger, thought bitterly, ’Arrogant! Unruly! Overbearing! A total disgrace!’
"Ying Chuan." Mu Qingge’s eyes suddenly shifted lightly, landing directly on the Ying Chuan hiding behind the Elder of the Ying Family.
With a smoldering gaze, Ying Chuan, who had been imagining how to torment Mu Qingge, was suddenly startled by the clear shout, raising his pale face.
Upon seeing Ying Chuan’s condition, the Elder of the Ying Family felt an even deeper sense of pity.
The direct lineage of the Ying Family, how could they ever suffer such treatment and humiliation?
Around them, some of the citizens of Fusha City began to gather to watch the scene. They understood well the matters of the Sang Family and were also well aware of the Ying Family of the West Continent.
At this moment, two Ancient Clans were confronting each other openly outside the door, showing no regard for face. How could they miss such a spectacle?
"For the sake of Ying Ze, leave Fusha City immediately, and never set foot here again, nor even think of Xuewu. Otherwise, I can cut out your tongue once, and I can gouge out your eyes, cut off your ears, and even..." Mu Qingge’s voice was cold and stern warning. Her gaze on Ying Chuan suddenly turned into a sneering cold smile, "Take your life."
"Mu Qingge!" The blatant threat finally made the Elder of the Ying Family unable to hold back, preparing to act.
Yet, just as his aura moved, Mu Qingge’s cool gaze drifted over mockingly to remind him: "Elder, don’t forget that this is Fusha City, the territory of the Sang Family. Do you think you have enough ability to run rampant in the Sang Family?"
Her words had barely settled when a formidable aura suddenly emanated from the Sang Family behind her, directly targeting the Elder of the Ying Family.
The Elder’s face changed drastically, and the spiritual power in his palm instantly dissipated.
’Indeed! This is the turf of the Sang Family. Starting a fight here would only make the Ying Family look worse. It seems that today, we must retreat first, report everything that happened here to the Family Head, and then plan accordingly.’ The Elder of the Ying Family, with a gloomy face, his eyes flickering with calculations in his mind.
His once rising presence suddenly deflated.
Instantly, a chorus of jeers came from the crowd gathered to watch the excitement.
This made the Elder, who was highly respected in the Ying Family, flush with embarrassment.
Mu Qingge’s lips curled into a mocking smile, she continued to look at Ying Chuan and said, "Ying Chuan, you and I both know why you came to propose. Your childish tricks, don’t embarrass yourself in front of me. If you want me to believe you, at least swallow the hatred in your eyes!"
After speaking, a hint of disdain flashed in Mu Qingge’s clear eyes.
Did Ying Chuan think he was well disguised? But in front of Mu Qingge, it was merely a display of childish naivety.
This kind of clown couldn’t stir up much trouble.
The Ying Family would certainly not fall out with the Sang Clan and the only Holy Artifact Refiner in the Middle Ancient Realm over such a debauched scion, and even go to war!
To start with, Ying Ze wouldn’t be so foolish!
Exposed by Mu Qingge, Ying Chuan stopped hiding. He suddenly raised his eyes, undisguised intense hatred shooting from his gaze, as if poisoned, directly at Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge remained indifferent, curling her lips in ridicule, "What, finally decided to stop your charade? Indeed, your clumsy performance could only deceive dull-witted people."
Who is the foolish person she speaks of? She didn’t say directly, but the Elder of the Ying Family understood clearly.
He looked at Ying Chuan, startled by the hatred in his eyes.
He never imagined that there might be deeper intentions behind Ying Chuan’s actions.
Seeing his expression now, could it be— ’The Second Young Master has never forgotten the grudge of having his tongue cut, and while the Young Master is away, he wants to marry Mu Xuewu to exact revenge and torment her?’
This speculation shocked the Elder of the Ying Family.
At this moment, Ying Chuan pulled forth the servant who spoke for him and pushed him forward.
The servant lost his balance and fell to the ground. Before he could get up, he received a kick on his backside. He turned his gaze to see Ying Chuan’s twisted features and vicious eyes.
Without needing further instruction from Ying Chuan, he immediately understood what he wanted to convey.
Thus, he stood up from the ground, mustered up his courage, and shouted at Mu Qingge, "So what if you saw through it? You cut off my tongue back then, and now you have to offer your own sister in compensation! I will definitely marry Mu Xuewu, and I’m not afraid to tell you, once she’s married to me, I will torment her day and night, making her unable to live or die as she pleases! I will make you watch helplessly as your sister is abused and tortured!"
"Caw, caw—!" After the servant finished speaking, the tongueless mouth of Ying Chuan emitted an unpleasant laugh.
Without a tongue, he couldn’t produce normal sounds, only some sharp syllables, even he found grating to his ears. All of this was thanks to Mu Qingge.
The flames of hatred in Ying Chuan’s eyes burned on.
At this moment, he had long forgotten, that at the Wuyin Mansion, it was he who first attempted to defile Mu Xuewu with vile means, it was he who first insulted Mu Qingge and Mu Xuewu with degrading words, and Mu Qingge cutting off his tongue was a small punishment meant as a warning.
For this, she even took on three moves from Ying Ze, to bring an end to the matter.
"So vicious!"
"Truly insidious!"
"The Ying Family, claiming to seek marriage, but with such dirty and despicable intentions."
"Our Miss Xuewu, the number one beauty of the West Continent, also a Divine Level Refiner, even ranking on the Cub Phoenix List, with a gentle and kind nature, has never looked down on us civilians. How can such a good person be tormented by such a beast?"
"Yes! We can’t allow Miss Xuewu to suffer unjustly!"
"This Ying Family, we absolutely cannot marry into!"
Among the onlookers, although unaware of the previous events, upon hearing Ying Chuan’s intentions, they all stood firmly on Mu Xuewu’s side.
The Elder of the Ying Family, seeing this, was extremely anxious, wanting to take Ying Chuan away, but in this current situation, if they left, wouldn’t it be like fleeing with tails tucked in?
Yet, since Ying Chuan had already admitted his impure intentions, how could they reasonably refute now?
’What a truly incapable and ruinous guy!’ The Elder of the Ying Family cursed in his heart.
And Mu Qingge?
Upon hearing the servant voice Ying Chuan’s thoughts, the sarcasm in her eyes deepened. She wasn’t angered by Ying Chuan’s words, but rather, looked at him with full irony saying, "Ying Chuan, who gave you the audacity to think everything will go as you wish? Originally, you could have lived well, continued being the Second Young Master of the Ying Family. Yet, you insist on ruining such good days, coming to me seeking death. Since you detest me so much and are constantly thinking of how to torment my sister, my nature is poor, I can’t tolerate those who hate me, it seems, to end this once and for all, I must take some measures."
"What are you planning to do?" The Elder of the Ying Family was startled, regardless of his dissatisfaction with Ying Chuan, he couldn’t let something happen to him here. So, he immediately blocked in front of Ying Chuan.
However, at this moment, Ying Chuan was extraordinarily resolute, pushing aside the Elder’s hand, standing before Mu Qingge, he raised his head and stared at her.
The servant also translated this action, "I am standing right here, do you dare to kill me? If you kill me, be prepared for the endless pursuit from the Ying Family!"
A madness and arrogance showed in Ying Chuan’s eyes.
He wanted to discern fear and hesitation from Mu Qingge’s gaze.
But there was nothing. Mu Qingge’s gaze remained calm. Around the finger cover on her right forefinger, a faint trace of golden spiritual power coiled, a cold intent to kill began to coalesce in her heart.
"So, it turns out, you solely rely on the Ying Family all along." Mu Qingge slowly said, her tone full of mockery.
The intent to kill appeared in her eyes.
Then, at that precise moment, a voice suddenly descended sharply from afar. "Insolent! Kneel and apologize!"
