Chapter 152: Battle

Master Wei Wu’s expression was dark.

Master Gu Er chuckled, “Nanxing truly has inherited a sharp tongue from her mother. However, the more I hear this story, the more confused I am. Why are we suddenly judging Lee Yang? Actually Lee Yang is here today to visit Jing Ni. He has missed her a lot.”

I sneered as I looked at this shit-stirrer. Miss Jing Ni? Right!

Shi Li coughed. “The biggest victim of this incident is Shi Feng! Don’t forget that!”

“Master Shi, that’s not right. The biggest victim here is my Jing Ni!” My little uncle retorted.

“No, it’s the Jing Family’s third miss!” Jing Tian glared at him. Jing Tian sat up straight. “Master Shi, would you like to take a look at Jing Ni’s current state? She was too traumatized by your son that the doctor suggested we admit her into a mental hospital. So please pass a message to Shi Feng. Tell him to be prepared after he is out from the hospital because the people of the Ardent Flame Alliance is not so easily bullied.”

Master Wei Wu coughed and added, “Speaking of, Master Qi is responsible in this incident too. This is the internal strife between the two young misses of the Jing Family and it has injured young master Shi in the process. He is the real innocent party here.

“With regards to what happened, as you know, Young Master Shi is in the prime of his life. He was merely blinded by lust. This is only because the third miss of the Jing Family is too beautiful that he couldn’t control himself. However, for this natural mistake, he was beaten to a horrible state by Master Si. This really don’t make sense. Master Si, Master Qi, if you ask me, this time Dragon’s Gate and Ardent Flame Alliance owe the other brothers an apology.”

How shameless can this man be?! I roared. “Master Wei Wu, have you really lowered yourself to victim-blaming? How is this Jing Ni’s fault? Why does she have to suffer this humiliation? How can you people lie without batting an eye. As your junior, I am amazed. So this is the true face of the 7 Brothers?”

“Nanxing!”

“Nanxing!”

Jing Tian and my little uncle shouted for me to stop. I couldn’t care less. There was so much nonsense that I couldn’t stand there and listen to it anymore!

Gu Nian who had been silent chimed in gently. “Nanxing, you are still too young to understand the issues of the Jiang Hu. This is a problem between Dragon’s Gate, Ardent Flame Alliance and the other masters, you shouldn’t get involved.”

I glared at him. “I don’t understand? Isn’t the purpose of your visit to escalate this into a gang war? Jing Tian rules the Ardent Flame Alliance, Jing Yan, Jing Ning and Jing Ni are all members of the Jing Family so you plan to push the whole blame onto the Ardent Flame Alliance and make Jing Tian the main antagonist. Secondly, my little uncle beat up that bastard Shi Feng and you want the entire Dragon’s Gate to compensate for that. Did I miss anything?”

Gu Nian chuckled. “Nanxing, your explosive temper is really..” He sighed and shook his head.

Shi Li though smiled at me. “I like Nanxing’s temper, it’s very arousing.”

I almost vomited. Shi Li turned to my little uncle. “Tong Le, now that I think about it, I can forgive Dragon’s Gate and even have more cooperation with you in the future as long as you promise me one thing.” Everyone looked at Shi Li. Shi Li looked at me. “As long as Nanxing marries my Shi Feng, then we’ll be in-laws. I guarantee that Nanxing will be my successor. The entire Shi Family will give her respect as accorded as the family head. What do you think?”

I almost lost my breath.

Tong Le chuckled. “I don’t think much of it. Tong Le might not be talented and Dragon’s Gate hasn’t reached newer heights under my leadership but Nanxing is the Tong Family’s only lineage. For her, I am willing to sacrifice myself and the entire Dragon’s Gate. At worst, we’ll just perish together!” My uncle’s tone was lazy and unrestrained. He was completely relaxed.

Gu Nian obviously didn’t expect Shi Li to make this request. So while he went along with his words, he tried to smooth things over. “Master Si, this is just a small fight between children, why the need to escalate it into a gang war? The 7 Brothers have lived in peace for years already, we can’t possibly ruin that because of the children’s action, right? Plus, Nanxing is still young to get married. Master Shi has made this arrangement too early.”

“It’s not early! A good girl like Nanxing is hard to find! Brother Si, this matter is settled. Nanxing belongs to my Shi Feng!” Shi Li smiled so big that the wrinkles on his face folded together.

“Young Master Shi is too late!” A cold voice cut in. “Because Nanxing is already my fiance.” Jing Tian said, “Master Wu is right. This matter is the Jing Family’s responsibility so the Ardent Flame Alliance will take responsibility to what happened to Shi Feng. Nanxing injured Lee Yang, and Nanxing is my fiance so Master Wu can find me to settle that score as well. Master Liu is right, the 7 brothers have coexisted too peacefully for many years already and it’s time to break the balance.” Jing Tian said evenly but his tone was extremely cold.

My little uncle said angrily, “I have not agreed to marry Nanxing to you!”

“I haven’t agreed to marry Jing Ni to you either!” Jing Tian glared madly back at him.

The rest of the Brothers were stunned.

Me too.
