Mu Rong Qianshan kept putting false labels onto Qin Wushuang for he clearly intended to suppress him through his imposing manner. He wanted to make Qin Wushuang feel as though he lacked reasoning.
However, in terms of Qin Wushuang’s personal character, what kind of situation had he not seen? The imposing Heavenly Emperor had not made him a coward, so there was no reason to feel defeated at the Floating Snow House.
Revealing a faint smile, he said with an unhurried tone, “Senior Qianshan, earlier when I met with Xu’Er in the human countries, we had only been acquainted through music. It was later on that we realized our mutual feelings for one another were growing into a deep affection from the bottom of our hearts. We never would have lied to each other. When Xu’Er went to the Heavenly Emperor Mountain to file the lawsuit, I felt very grateful, which deepened my respect and affection for her. Although if I had known she was going to the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, I surely would have tried to stop her.”
Mu Rong Xu interjected, “Uncle Qianshan, it was my idea to file the complaint at the Heavenly Emperor Mountain. Senior Brother Qin had no clue of my actions from the beginning. Additionally, since he had the ability to cause the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect to suffer greatly, would it have been necessary for him to enchant me to file the complaint at the Heavenly Emperor Mountain? Besides, I only went there because I resented the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect for violating the ten thousand year agreement and attacking the human countries. This was not done only thinking of Brother Qin, but for the human countries and to prevent the Xuan Yuan Mound from getting swept into the same chaotic war situation that happened ten thousand years ago. For this matter, anyone with a conscientious mind would have thought of a way to stop it!”
Mu Rong Qianshan said with a sneer, “Xu’Er, what kind of relationship do you have with this Qin kid, causing you to protect him this much? You better not do anything to shame this family’s social status!”
Upon hearing these words, instantly a layer of coldness covered Mu Rong Qianji’s face. “Qianshan, what do you mean with these words? Would I not know my own daughter? If you have any reasoning, speak now. Does it not shame you to speak of these scandals as a senior?”
Mu Rong Xu’s eyes had become slightly red, for clearly, she felt incredibly wronged. She bit her lips lightly trying not to cry as she did not wish to show weakness before these people!
Instead, she said, “Uncle Qianshan, you are of the same generation as my father. I respect you and I will call you my uncle. However, if you are to defile me without a good cause, I may no longer be able to hide my temper. Yes, I do like big brother Qin’s personal character, his manliness for daring to act, and his courage to take responsibility! Even if he was a martial artist of the Spiritual Martial Force, I admire his strength of character from the bottom of my heart! He may have struggled at the human countries, whose statuses were numerous times less than Luo Ting, but I had made up my mind on him at this time. Only such a man deserves my love. It is this man I can entrust my whole life to and give everything up for. However, I am a lady who knows her boundaries. Until now, Brother Qin and I have spent more time apart than together; however, each time we were well-behaved and never dared to go outside the boundary. When you think of me as such a disgraceful person, it is only from the despicable things you have constructed in your own mind. It isn’t I who brings disgrace to this family’s social status, but you!”
After having spoken these words, even Mu Rong Xu was somewhat astonished. How had the person who was usually so cultured, refined, and at peace have such a sharp tongue all of a sudden?
However, she had no regret whatsoever for this change. She knew that at the Floating Snow House, if she did not defend her big brother Qin, there would be no one left to help him.
While at the Floating Snow House she possessed only one thought: she would not allow anyone to bully big brother Qin.
Mu Rong Qianshan’s entire body shivered with anger. “You… Older brother, look at your precious daughter. How much have you spoiled her?”
Mu Rong Qianji said lightly, “Qianshan, it was you who spoke inappropriately, so don’t blame Xu’Er for disrespecting you. If you do not harbor pride as a senior, how can you teach the junior ones?”
Mu Rong Qianshan felt incredibly depressed as he said with a low voice, “Older Brother, if this is your way, you defend only your daughter and leave all the old brothers here.”
Mu Rong Qianji said coldly, “Qianshan, firstly, I am only stating the facts. Although I defend my daughter, she was only speaking the truth. Secondly, we only speak with reason. The Floating Snow House is a whole entity and the option of choosing between my daughter and my siblings does not exist. Thirdly, today we are welcoming a guest, not hosting a trial meeting.”
Mu Rong Qianshan’s chest moved up and down indefinitely.
At that moment, Mu Rongianshan stepped out to be the peacemaker. “Older Brother, although Third’s words have gone overboard, they do make sense. In the eyes of me, her uncle, indeed Xu’Er’s actions had crossed the line. Currently, as Qin Wushuang has come with such a high-profile, the more the outside world will see that we deliberately set up the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect.
“Secondly, you are overthinking. Unless we are gods, who could predict that a young man named Qin Wushuang would rise from the human countries and become a chess piece for us to scheme against the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect? This is complete nonsense. Anyone knows that the grudge between Qin Wushuang and the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect had originated from the conflicts in the human countries. Luo Ting had just happened to be there at the wrong time and gave his own life away due to his own stupidness.”
Apparently, Mu Rong Qianji was extremely courageous at such crucial moments. He said with a cold sneer, “To the Floating Snow House, the death of Luo Ting would never be a sad matter. Perhaps, all of you feel it’s unfortunate to not have become in-laws with the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect. However, what I wanted to say was that with Luo Ting’s wisdom, even if he had lived on, would not be suitable as the leader of the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect. Even if he was able to sit on the throne of the Dao Warrior, he would not last long. This Luo Ting possessed fatal flaws in his personality and would not be able to achieve any major accomplishments! If you guys had entrusted hope in him, you would surely regret it in the end.”
Mu Rong Qianhuan had taken this statement to heart. However, he also harbored his own opinions.
“Big brother, Luo Ting was perhaps not a good companion to Xu’Er. However, I don’t think Qin Wushuang is Xu’Er’s best choice either.”
Mu Rong Qianji said lightly, “This would be a choice for Xu’Er to make. Without that ridiculous arranged marriage, Xu’Er is entitled to make her own decision.”
“Big Brother, you are spoiling the child too much,” Mu Rong Qianhuan said worriedly. “Have you ever thought that once Xu’Er chooses to be with this Qin, the result will damage the Floating Snow House’s reputation?”
Revealing an ashen expression, Mu Rong Qianji did not speak a word. It was not because he was clueless. In fact, his mind was clearer than anyone else’s. However, he could never sacrifice his daughter’s happiness, no matter the consequence.
Despite getting glared at by Mu Rong Qianhuan, Qin Wushuang was fearless as he said gently “Senior Qianhuan, I am rather confused. This is a matter between me and Xu’Er. Why would you speak of all these meaningless hypotheses? Could it be that because of my relationship with Xu’Er, the Floating Snow House will be get consigned to eternal damnation?”
Mu Rong Qianhuan said with a cold sneer, “Qin Wushuang, you are playing dumb, right? Regarding the situation of the your Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan, would you not know it better than me? Now, the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan is like a bunch of thorns. Whoever gets involved will suffer many troubles.”
Qin Wushuang said with a smile, “This must be Senior Qianhuan’s principle as a wise man. Make sure to look after your own hide, right?”
“There is nothing wrong if this is what I believe true. In the Xuan Yuan Mound, nothing is more essential than survival. Being a leader of the Floating Snow House, I must think for the future of Floating Snow House.”
Mu Rong Qianhuan was not being ambiguous at all.
Of course, Qin Wushuang would not quarrel with Mu Rong Qianhuan further. With a faint smile, he looked at Mu Rong Qianji.
Under such circumstance, of course it would be inappropriate for Mu Rong Qianji to put in some words for Qin Wushuang. However, he was the leader of a sect. “Wushuang, with these matters it’s boring to speak of it. If you want me to give my daughter to you, you must show me that you have the strength to protect her. Most importantly, you must have true intentions!”
Mu Rong Xu stood up and said, while showing resolution from her eyes, “Father, I do not oppose you in wanting to test Brother Qin. However, I am set on my mind. If I cannot be together with big brother due to the Floating Snow House, then I am willing to renounce myself from this place.”
As soon as she spoke these words, everyone’s expression changed drastically.
Mu Rong Qianji also shouted, “Nonsense!”
Mu Rong Xu said, “I’ve already made up my mind. Father, even if I leave the Floating Snow House, you will always remain my father. You will be the most respected and most beloved father. This is the feeling I have connected through our bloodline. I am grateful for you bringing me into this world and I thank you for all your protection and teaching since a young age.”
Mu Rong Qianji objectified, “Xu’Er, I will never let you leave the Floating Snow House!”
Mu Rong Qianhuan glared at Qin Wushuang and said angrily, “Qin Wushuang, you’ve done a great job at tricking my niece. Now are you satisfied?”
Qin Wushuang said lightly, “Senior Qianhuan, if you want to condemn someone, do you not consider the whole situation? I do not wish to argue with you on these meaningless matters. Xu’Er and I share one heart as solid as a boulder and we pledge our undying love for one another. You don’t have to give us your blessing or your support. However, what I want to say is that regardless the obstacles that lay before us, they will not stop me from being with Xu’Er. No one will!”
Mu Rong Qianhuan said with a long sigh, “Big Brother, did you hear that? They already do not consider your wishes or blessing.”
“Senior Qianhuan, it’s useless for your to sow dissension. Up to now, Xu’Er and I have shared the same intentions. Besides, I already promised Xu’Er I would marry her from the Floating Snow House with honor.”
“Marry her?” Mu Rong Qianhuan said with a cold sneer, “Unless Xu’Er runs away with you, we will never agree to marry her to a disciple of the Qin Clan!”
Qin Wushuang said with a low voice, “Just because I am a disciple of the Qin Clan it causes you to have such ridiculous ideas It seems that despite the grandness of the Floating Snow House, Lord Mu Rong is the only true hero.”
Upon seeing the situation getting somewhat out of control, Mu Rong Xu shouted, “Uncles, stop your forceful protesting. I have already made up my mind. Either you banish me from the Floating Snow House, or for my entire life living here, I will refuse marriage to anyone other than big brother Qin.”
After she had finished, Mu Rong Xu ran outside.
Qin Wushuang did not even bother with Mu Rong Qianhuan and followed after her. When he had caught up to Mu Rong Xu, the rims of her eyes were slightly red as tears were streaming down.
“Brother Qin, I’m sorry I made things so difficult for you,” she sobbed.
“Silly girl, I do not feel at all troubled. If they do not treat you as their family, the more I will feel at ease,” Qin Wushuang said with a gratified tone.
“Brother Qin, you know my intentions. Right?”
Qin Wushuang nodded heavily. “Xu’Er, I remain true to my word. Regardless the challenge, I will come to marry you with honor and let everyone of the Floating Snow House know that they should be proud of you.”
Feeling endless happiness, Mu Rong Xu kept nodding.
