Chapter 222: Him
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Sister Lian was naturally Zi Lian. While Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang were the pearls of the Thousand-island Lake, Zi Lian was that of the Heaven Martial Kingdom, the well-deserved No. 1 Young Lady and the muse of many men here.
"Swish!"
Zi Lian could not hide in the yard anymore now that she was named. She flew up, and a Golden Chariot appeared in midair. Standing on the chariot, Zi Lian saluted to the sisters, "Greetings, Sister Qiuxue and Xiashuang."
What Zi Lian was wearing today was a long dress in light blue. A yellow silk band was tied around her waist, which highlighted her slim waist. Her black hair was combed into a bun with a cyan-colored wooden hair wear, delicate and pretty at the same time. Her bright eyes seemed to be able to talk, moving the hearts of all that looked at her.
Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang quickly returned her greetings. Bai Qiuxue said with a smile, "Sister Lian, you look radiant and so beautiful. So your wounds must have healed. Sister Lian, do you still remember the fight at the Dragon King Mountain?"
Zi Lian said with a sigh, "Of course I do. How can I forget that Young Master Lu saved my life?"
"Yes, Sister Lian you are a kind person!"
Bai Qiuxue nodded and looked at Yu Huaxian, "Patriarch Huaxian, that day, Yu Lingxu was possessed by the demons. Not only did he want to kill me, he even almost killed Sister Lian, Lady Ye Yuhan, Young Master Ye Longyu and Young Master Du Ziling. What I want to say is—if Lu Li hadn’t killed him, then Yu Lingxu would have committed great wrongs and your Yu Family would have been exterminated. Therefore, not only should you not hate Lu Li, you actually need to thank him!"
"What!"
The city was boiling with noises. Zi Lian said nothing which meant that she agreed. Also, Bai Qiuxue mentioned that Yu Huhan, Ye Longyu and Du Zilian almost died. How could Bai Qiuxue make this up? The Yu Family could find all those people to confront. Bai Qiuxue would not lie given her identity and status.
So everything was real?
Yu Lingxu was possessed by demons in the Tomb of the Dragon King, tried to kill Bai Qiuxue and Zi Lian, only to be killed by Lu Li in the end. So Lu Li had not done anything wrong but saved the Yu Family?
That was true. If Bai Qiuxue, Zi Lian, Ye Yuhan and Du Ziling all died because of Yu Lingxu, the Yu Family would be destroyed by the families in their wrath. There must no living soul left in all of the Yu Emperor City…
Yu Huaxian didn’t know how to react, neither did Yu Feinong. Zi Lian never shared this information with the Yu Family, nor did Ye Yuhan and Du Ziling. How could the Yu Family know?
At first, the Yu Family was the side in the right, morally speaking. Now, the table was turned. Yu Family was the ones in the wrong, which made Yu Huaxian at a loss of what to do.
The key to solve the matter was Zi Lian.
Zi Lian was here to represent the Zi Family. Originally, the Yu Family thought she was here to help. Little did they expect that she was testifying for Bai Qiuxue now. The Yu Family was caught unprepared…
Being in the wrong meant that Bai Xi and the others could be here openly and fight against the Yu Family fair and square. One wrong move could mean the end of the Yu Family and all its wealth accumulated over 10,000 years.
"Hmm, hmm!"
Seeing that Yu Huaxian said nothing, Bai Qiuxue continued, "Patriarch Yu, why don’t you say something? The Yu Family must give us an explanation, right? If you cannot make the decision, then let your Family Patriarch to come out and talk to us."
"What kind of explanation do you need?"
A man’s voice as imposing as that of a beast came from the Yu Family compound. Then several people flew out. The man at the forefront released his mighty qi and energy. They flew out of the Yu Family compound and landed in front of Yu Huaxia and the others.
Yu Huashen was like a Beast King. He glared at Bai Qiuxue with cold eyes and said, "My grandson is dead, so is a patriarch of our Family. Two Patriarchs were destroyed. What else do you need? Do you need to cut off my head as an apology? I am here right now. If you want it, come and get it."
The words uttered by Yu Huashen made the entire city depressing, as if air was frozen. Patriarchs of the Yu Family secretly released their killing intent, ready to fight at any second.
It was actually easy to understand. However, the course of the event went down, Yu Lingxu was dead, and the Yu Family was short of three patriarchs. They were humiliated. Now, Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang were here to scold them. In this context, even a good-tempered man would flip out.
"Ha, ha!"
Bai Qiuxue remained calm. Bai Xiashuang showed no signs of fear, instead, her pretty face was showing anger. Bai Qiuxue calmly stared at Yu Huashen and said, "You are so impressive, Family Patriarch Yu. Do you think the Bai Family can be bullied so easily?"
"Swish!"
A signal detonator flew to the sky and exploded in midair, beautiful as blossoming fireworks.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
From the mountain to the south of the Yu Emperor City flew up 12 warriors and 11 seven-colored Fate Wheels appeared. Eleven of the warriors landed on the Fate Wheels, while a white eyebrowed elder flew over through the sky. Before he got any closer, his fierce qi and energy were assaulting everyone’s faces, striking fear in the depth of the souls of people living in the city.
"Family Patriarch Yu, you really are impressive!"
The white eyebrowed elder flew to the city. He stood in midair, laughed coldly and said, "Even our Family Patriarch is afraid to yell at Lady Qiuxue and Lady Xiashuang like this. You are a bold man, aren’t you? Come, yell at me. Let me see what the Yu Family is capable of."
Bai Xi’s abdomen lit up as a nine-colored bead showed up which was only of the size of a finger. However, as soon as the bead appeared, it was as if the world disappeared. Everyone’s attention was caught up by the bead.
Bead of Life!
To reach the Noble Lord Realm, a warrior had to condense nine Fate Wheels into a Bead of Life which was a representation of the Noble Lord Realm. Bai Xi showing his Bead of Life was basically a demonstration of his power. If Yu Huashen wasn’t deliberate on his words now, the Yu Emperor City would be in a blood bath today.
"Bai Xi, our respected warrior!"
Zi Lian was getting anxious. She was not worried about her own life as Bai Xi would not hurt her. She was here to meditate so she could not let the fight break out.
She took control of her chariot and flew to the middle of the plaza. She bowed to Bai Xi and said, "Greetings. I am here to mediate the matter on behalf of the Zi Family. The agreement between the Thousand-island Lake and the three Royal Families has been effective for a long time and we have been in harmony for several years. Please don’t go to war because of such a trivial matter. Otherwise, the people will be plunged into an abyss of agony."
Bai Xi threw Zi Lian a glance without saying anything. Zi Lian had to bow to Bai Qiuxue and said, "Sister Qiuxue, I know why you are here. How about I talk in the middle and let’s turn hostility into friendship?"
What Bai Qiuxue wanted was these words. She said with determination, "Sister Lian, if he is fine, we can let it go. If he died, the Yu Emperor City would have a taste of blood!"
"Him?"
While many people were confused, Zi Lian and the Yu Family understood. He of course referred to Lu Li. The purpose of Bai Qiuxue’s trip was to save Lu Li. She was here at the Yu Emperor City to condemn the Yu Family as well as to protect Lu Li was well.
Zi Lian looked at Yu Huashen and begged him, "Family Patriarch Yu, I am begging you. Can you do that?"
Yu Huashen’s eyes flickered. In the end, he waved his hand and said, "Yu Lun, send my words and spare that kid’s life."
Yu Lun didn’t move. He bitterly said after everyone turned around to look at him, "I think it is too late now. I got a news the time for one incense stick to burn ago from the Wu Ling County that the fight had broken out… over there. Even if a powerful warrior of the Eternal Realm of the Bai Family is there, I have made other arrangements. That kid is probably…"
"Rubbish!"
Before Yu Lun could finish, Bai Xi roared, "There are only 12 warriors from the Bai Family this time and all of us are here. When did we send a man over there?"
"Swish, swish, swish~"
Bai Qiuxue, Bai Xiashuang and Zi Lian’s expressions changed. Liu Yi’s face turned as pale as snow.
