Chapter 876: Must We Be Enemies?

Xia Wanqing angrily shouted, “Pah, your daughter is the tiles! Your whole family is the tiles. I haven’t provoked you or done anything to you, yet you are still messing with me? Is that it!” As he spoke, his moves became suddenly fierce.

Sang Daokun, distracted, was struck by a palm, feeling a heart-wrenching pain, no longer daring to be distracted.

Seeing the situation is unfavorable to him, he even tries to lure others with profit?

Huangfu Jingchen sneered, “Who is the pearl and who is the tile, I know very well! If I truly chose your daughter, I would be blind! Xianglong Sword Sect, what’s so great about it? If I want, I can naturally establish one myself!”

He’s not a hot-blooded young man freshly entering the Jianghu, misled by a few words from others.

Moments ago, Sang Daokun showed him not a morsel of respect, yet now the situation is beyond his control, he’s seeking a breakthrough from him. Their shameless actions towards Wenjin disgust him, not to mention their disgraceful behavior running to Wenjin with their antics is enough to make one sick.

Therefore, his speech showed no mercy.

Upon hearing these words, Sang Xuewei’s face turned ashen, as though all of the blood had drained from her body, leaving not a hint of color.

Lu Qianxue laughed loudly, “Well said, Chen’er! Besides, he doesn’t have any Xianglong Sword Sect left; in a few days, he won’t even exist in the Jianghu!”

The couple had prepared a betrothal gift, arriving a few days later than Huangfu Jingchen. As they ascended today, they cheerfully took the lead, allowing the betrothal gift procession to follow.

Unexpectedly, they overheard the shameless attempt to steal her son to be someone’s son-in-law at the foot of the mountain!

Her son clearly already has someone he cares about, yet they insist on breaking them apart—isn’t that utterly shameless?

Hatred flashed in Sang Daokun’s eyes as he realized Lu Qianxue was speaking the truth.

Moreover, Lu Qianxue indeed possesses this capability.

Those three brothers individually are skilled, and combined into a sword array, their power multiplies, overwhelming all in their path. The people he brought along are skilled, yet clearly, though there are only three opponents, they seem to be thirty, even three hundred! They are being oppressively overwhelmed.

That woman who claims to be the Sect Master of Po Yuan Sect is just watching from the sidelines, not even planning to intervene.

Now he believes that even if she’s just pretending to be the Sect Master of Po Yuan Sect, she must have an inseparable connection to Po Yuan Sect to act so brazenly.

Could it be that Xianglong Sword Sect is really going to fall here?

The three adept individuals he was given are now being forced to retreat by those three brothers, clearly unable to rely on them anymore.

He said embarrassedly, “Huangfu Jingchen, my daughter can marry you as a concubine; we can be family, yet you insist on being adversaries?”

Just as Huangfu Jingchen was about to speak, Lu Qianxue shouted, “If he dares take a concubine, I’ll beat him to death first!”

Huangfu Jingchen laughed, “Mother, I’ve never thought of taking any concubine; my life intends only to hold hands with Wenjin, to grow old together! If I break this vow, may I be struck by lightning!”

Though he spoke these words with a smile, there was a firmness in his tone that made one believe he would surely follow through.

Xia Wenjin turned her head, her gaze met the youth’s eyes, the youth’s clear bright eyes smiling, yet like a lake or sea, causing one to become immersed, unable to pull back!

She smiled broadly, warmth rising within her heart.

Once she thought her heart would never open again in this lifetime; it was this youth’s pure heart that showed her that not all men are like Huangfu Yuxuan, only calculating hearts, eyes filled with benefits and manipulation.

Prince Cheng nodded approvingly hearing his son’s words.

However, Sang Daokun was almost driven mad.

Men having multiple wives and concubines is commonplace in Nanxia. Should one give up a field of flowers for a single woman? His Wei’er is so beautiful, so obedient, so sensible, so well-behaved, so adorable. He, as a father, is willing to wrong his daughter to be a concubine, yet Huangfu Jingchen still refuses!

Sang Xuewei too wore a wounded expression, looking pitifully at Huangfu Jingchen, her gaze making it seem as if he had truly abandoned her after promising love.

Nevertheless, neither Huangfu Jingchen nor Xia Wenjin paid her any more attention.

Those three brothers took over Sang Daokun, Xia Wanqing’s opponent, leaving Xia Wanqing with free hands.

Prince Cheng and his spouse stepped forward, Prince Cheng cupping his fist and saying, “I am Huangfu Yi, and this is my wife Lu Qianxue. Chief Xia, honored to meet you!”

Xia Wanqing reciprocated the gesture, saying, “Honorable couple, it’s been a long journey, today’s matter is a joke!”

Lu Qianxue laughed, “For Chief Xia to say so makes us feel rather ashamed. Today’s incident, to speak of it, was caused by our foolish son, bringing inconvenience to Haotian Village. I hope Chief Xia won’t hold it against us!”

“Not at all, we’re one family without need for formalities!”

With these words, the three smiled at each other.

Though they had never met before, because of their children, there was now no awkwardness between them. Even though their meet-up as a harmonious family had been disrupted by Sang Daokun at the mountain gate, it did not affect their spirits.

Xia Wanqing glanced at the two before him; Huangfu Yi had a clear appearance, tall and stately, with intricate golden embroidery on his dark robe, enhancing his majestic presence. Lu Qianxue’s face bore a smile, beautiful and elegant, unparalleled in grace!

No wonder Huangfu Jingchen is so outstanding—with such remarkable parents, how could he be anything but exceptional? Unlike his own son, Xia Sichen, who only knows how to annoy him all day. Now it’s splendid—declaring he’s joining the Jianghu, he’s like a dragon swimming the sea, even he, as a father, doesn’t know where that brat is.

Xia Wanqing realized that Huangfu Jingchen was an Imperial Grandson, meaning the man before him had an unusual status. Nonetheless, he bore the demeanor of a Prince without any arrogance, his smile warm and amiable. They came to the mountain village as Jianghu people, a fact which pleased Xia Wanqing greatly.

Nearby, Xia Wenjin also came over to greet Prince Cheng and his spouse. Lu Qianxue took hold of Xia Wenjin’s hand, giving it a gentle pat on the back, and softly said, “Wenjin, don’t let today’s events weigh on your heart, I’ll handle them properly!”

Xia Wenjin smiled, “Aunt, don’t worry about it. Jingchen and I met in the Jianghu, we trust each other deeply, and I won’t fall into outside provocations!”

Lu Qianxue happily said, “Since your hearts are united, I am reassured!”

Xia Wanqing warmly said, “Honored guests, don’t let unrelated people spoil the mood! How about heading up the mountain for some tea and a rest? Please!”

Sang Daokun’s face turned dark with anger, tangled up by those three brothers, unable to free his hands, while in contrast the in-laws are joyously meeting. Though Xianglong Sword Sect isn’t as esteemed as Po Yuan Sect, it’s nonetheless not unknown, this humiliation he cannot swallow!

Yet there’s nothing he can do about it. The three brothers’ combined sword array was like a net wrapped tightly around him; if it weren’t for his formidable skills, he might have already been thrown down the mountain like the others.

Watching a few people talk and laugh as they ascend, completely ignoring him, Sang Daokun suddenly shouted, “Is this the Sect Master of Po Yuan Sect? I, the Sect Leader, challenge you! Do you dare accept my challenge?”
