Chapter 115: Chapter 115: Reactions from All Sides (3 updates)

Xie Jingjing finished school and returned home, feeling that the atmosphere today was somewhat unusual.

Instead of cooking in the kitchen, Mr. Xie sat in a chair, heaving long sighs and muttering under his breath.

Auntie Pang, her mother, was constantly dabbing at her tears.

“What’s happened?” Xie Jingjing asked in confusion.

Auntie Pang lifted her head, glanced at her daughter, and then sighed, “Your dad went to buy groceries today and then he heard some news about your Brother Xiao An!”

“What happened to Brother Xiao An?” Xie Jingjing exclaimed, her face draining of color.

“I also heard it through the grapevine,” Mr. Xie said with a face full of worry. “Apparently, Xiao An offended some extremely formidable figure, and now they’re seeking revenge, setting it for ten days from now on the banks of Qingfeng River!”

Xie Jingjing turned pale and slumped into a chair, her mind in turmoil.

What to do?

What to do!

Please, nothing bad must happen to Brother Xiao An!

Xie Jingjing hung her head low, tears falling relentlessly.

The atmosphere in the room was oppressively gloomy.

Suddenly.

Mr. Xie slapped the table and abruptly stood up.

Auntie Pang, startled, couldn’t help but scold, “What are you doing? Don’t scare people like that!”

Mr. Xie’s face showed a seriousness it had never held before.

“I’ve made up my mind, I will also go to the banks of Qingfeng River in ten days!”

“Even though I might not be able to do anything!”

“But Xiao An has been kind to Jingjing, kind to our family! I, Mr. Xie, am not ungrateful. Even if it costs me my life, I will go and lend Xiao An a hand!”

Xie Jingjing and Auntie Pang looked at Mr. Xie in surprise, but his eyes sparkled with a determination they had never seen before.

Auntie Pang also became excited, nodding and saying, “That’s right, truly worthy of being my man! I’ll go too when the time comes!”

Mr. Xie frowned, “Men’s business, why should women interfere unnecessarily?”

Upon hearing this, Auntie Pang became enraged, “Mr. Xie, let me tell you, if it really comes to blows, three of you wouldn’t be a match for me!”

Mr. Xie felt a bit embarrassed, “Ah, come on. The child is right here, what nonsense are you spouting!”

“What nonsense? This is simply the truth!”

Watching this scene unfold, Xie Jingjing managed a tearful smile.

A thought also emerged in her heart.

Brother Xiao An!

No matter what, I will go and see for myself.

If you lose, then I will avenge you! Even if it costs me my life, I won’t hesitate!

The Wu Family.

Wu Weidong sat in his chair, unable to contain his excitement.

His wife, who had a face full of flesh, was also smiling happily.

“That’s great, as long as this Xue An dies, our son’s death will be avenged!” Wu Weidong said with a laugh.

“Hmph, it’s not going to be that easy. Once Xue An is dead, I want to flay the little wretch who killed our son!” the woman declared fiercely.

Originally, her son Wu Zefeng had forcefully taken Xie Jingjing to the KTV. If Xue An had not arrived in time, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

It was also because Wu Zefeng was malicious at heart, so Xue An ended up killing him.

Later, Wu Weidong wanted to take revenge, but when any somewhat connected person in Beijiang heard that it involved taking on Xue An, they shook their heads as if they were wobbling drum rattle.

Having no other choice, Wu Weidong gave up.

But when the news of the Yu Family issuing the Sword Challenge Token against Xue An came,

the Wu Family was overjoyed!

“Hehe! When the time comes, let’s go and enjoy the show, to see how the person who killed Zefeng will be wiped out by others!” Wu Zefeng said with a sinister face.

Hua Family Traditional Medicine Clinic.

All day today, Hua Tingting was somewhat distracted.

After seeing off the last patient, Hua Xingyu sighed.

“Ting’er, what’s wrong with you?”

Hua Tingting was silent for a long moment before she said, “Grandpa, is Yu Family really as formidable as the rumors say?”

Hua Xingyu’s expression turned serious as he nodded, “Very formidable! And extremely so!”

Hua Tingting’s face grew more worried, “Then, do you think Mr. Xue this time…”

Hua Xingyu shook his head, “I don’t know, this isn’t something that someone of my level can see through. However, Tingting.”

Hua Xingyu paused, then continued, “You must remember, people like Mr. Xue are like divine dragons above the ninth heaven, you…”

Hua Xingyu didn’t finish his sentence.

But Hua Tingting understood her grandfather’s meaning.

She felt somewhat disheartened.

But she also understood that her grandfather meant well.

“Anyway, let’s go to Qingfeng River in ten days to witness the most glorious duel in the Martial Arts World in a decade! It will also be like standing by Mr. Xue’s side to cheer him on!” Hua Xingyu said.

Hua Tingting’s eyes brightened, “Yes!”

While the outside world was in turmoil over the Sword Challenge Token issued by the Yu Family.

Lingnan Yu Family remained as calm as ever.

Yu Yang walked through the Testing Sword Pavilion and arrived at the back courtyard, where he saw his father, who was also the current Family Head of the Yu Family.

Yu Lang.

“When are you planning to set off?” Yu Lang, sitting in a chair, asked without even lifting his head.

“We will set off after seven days. Beijiang is only two thousand miles away from Lingnan; it’s a two-day journey!” Yu Yang said respectfully, bowing.

Yu Lang nodded, “You are assigned as the emissary for this Sword Challenge. Do you know why?”

Yu Yang’s body trembled with a flash of wild joy in his eyes, but he still bowed his head and said, “I don’t know!”

Yu Lang chuckled lightly, “You, with your calculating heart too heavy, that’s why you haven’t progressed in the Sword Dao as much as your elder brother!”

“This Xue An is also quite a talent. Being able to kill Yu Ling with a single punch at the Martial Arts Conference shows he has some real skills. You must be careful and not tarnish the Yu Family’s reputation. If you do well… when the elder ancestor comes out of seclusion, you may serve by his side!”

Yu Yang trembled violently with delight, “The elder ancestor is coming out of seclusion?”

Yu Lang nodded solemnly, “This news must not be disclosed, but a few days ago, your elder brother sent a message saying the Sword Qi outside the Sword Cottage has been growing stronger by the day. It shouldn’t be too long now!”

“I understand!” Yu Yang suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and slowly retreated.

To every member of the Yu Family, their elder ancestor Yu Yuanyi was a revered Immortal they all worshipped.

Being able to serve by his side would be enormously beneficial for his own Sword Dao Cultivation.

After leaving the back courtyard, Yu Yang arrived behind the Testing Sword Pavilion, where a uniquely beautiful young girl was seated in idle.

Seeing Yu Yang approach, the girl couldn’t help but smile.

“Why are you so happy today, Third Brother? Is there some good news?”

Yu Yang smiled, “Little sister, you’ve sneaked out again. Be careful or father will punish you if he finds out.”

This young girl was Yu Lang’s youngest and only daughter, Yu Ran.

“Hehe, father won’t! I heard that Third Brother has been appointed as the emissary for this Sword Challenge?”

Yu Yang nodded.

Yu Ran became excited, “And I heard that this time the opponent is a top expert ranked in the high places of the heavenly list! You must be careful, Third Brother!”

“The heavenly list?” A sneer of disdain appeared on Yu Yang’s lips.

“A list where those who have never seen a real Cultivator, even less a Loose Immortal, rank themselves first. What’s the use? To me, they’re nothing but chickens and dogs!”
